But now, since he rejected Si Hanyan, the two have never met in Cining Palace again.
She is hiding from herself...
Thinking of this, Yue Qinglu felt a dull feeling in his heart, as if he was about to suffocate, making him subconsciously cover his heart.
Her face looks very bad, and she doesn't look very energetic...
Are these all because of yourself?
My feelings for her...
Just when Yue Qinglu was in confusion, he suddenly saw the eyes of the Northern Man crown prince who was stepping forward to pay his respects.
That look...
Yue Qinglu's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince was treating her...
Before he could think about it carefully, Yue Qinglu noticed that the Queen Mother had already stood up, and then left the hall accompanied by Si Hanyan, apparently planning to return to Cining Palace.
His body moved faster than his brain. When Yue Qinglu came to his senses, he found that he had left the main hall and was on his way to Cining Palace.
He paused and was stunned for a moment, but it was only a slight pause. Soon he started walking again and continued walking towards Cining Palace.
At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was to go to Si Hanyan. Even if she ignored him, he would still go to her...
Xia Luotong watched Yue Qinglu chase him out with his own eyes, and looked at Xi Menghan not far away, both of whom saw the smile in the other person's eyes.
But before she could relax at all, she remembered the look in the eyes of the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince just now...
Not only Yue Qinglu noticed it, but Xia Luotong also noticed that something was wrong with the way Prince Sati looked at Si Hanyan!
Thinking of Prince Sati's behavior, Xia Luotong suddenly felt uneasy. Isn't this man targeting Si Hanyan? He just set his sights on Le Manhe!
Because of this discovery, Xia Luotong suddenly felt bad again. He even felt a little absent-minded while eating, and finally stopped, losing his mind.
Wu Zechen on the side saw this and couldn't help showing a worried look. His wife had just eaten less than usual. Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, she wanted to ask.
However, before he could ask, someone from the palace came looking for him. It turned out that the prince had sent someone to look for him.
Wu Zechen couldn't help but frown at the thought of the prince coming to him at this time. He might have what else he had in mind, and he couldn't worry about Xia Luotong...
"Go and have a look. I'm fine. I'm just thinking about Hanyan and my senior brother. Be more careful." Xia Luotong saw Wu Zechen's hesitation and knew that he was worried about her, so he comforted him.
Wu Zechen felt a little relieved when he heard that Xia Luotong was thinking about those two people and Yue Qinglu who had just chased him out.
But he still warned: "Stay in your seat and don't leave until Lin Dong comes back."
Seeing Xia Luotong nodding in agreement, Wu Zechen stood up and left, going straight out of the hall where the reception banquet was held.
The banquet had been going on for a while now, and most people had already gotten up and walked around, drinking and chatting together, or leaving the hall to get some fresh air.
Not long after Wu Zechen left, Lindong, who was sent out by Xia Luotong, came back, but the expression on his face was a bit serious.
She whispered something to Xia Luotong. After hearing this, Xia Luotong sneered. After thinking for a moment, he gave Lindong an order.
Lindong took the order and left quietly, and soon returned behind Xia Luotong. This time she just nodded to Xia Luotong inconspicuously, and then made no more movements, guarding Xia Luotong quietly.
Xia Luotong waited patiently until a pretty lady with exquisite makeup came to her.
She was very sure that she did not know this young lady, but she had some impression of her appearance. At previous banquets, she had seen this young lady following Liu Yingxue with a look of flattery in her eyes.
Did Liu Yingxue send this young lady here? But just now she seemed to have seen this young lady riding around next to Le Manhe...
Xia Luotong was just wondering who the young lady in front of him was, when he saw the other party say with a smile on her face: "Well, Princess An, I have always heard that your appearance is unparalleled, your business skills are even more outstanding, and you are smart. Dining pavilions are now open all over our country, which is really impressive to my little girl."
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Xia Luotong saw the other person smiling so affectionately and praising him endlessly, so he did not interrupt him with a sound, but raised his eyebrows slightly to see what medicine was sold in the other person's gourd.
But she also noticed that the other person was holding two glasses of wine.
Could it be that he wanted to toast her?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the young lady in front of me say warmly: "...I'd like to give you a toast, little lady. I hope you don't dislike it."
As she spoke, the lady handed one of the wine glasses in front of her, obviously wanting Xia Luotong to drink the glass of wine she had brought.
As soon as this action was made, Xia Luotong frowned, and even Lindong next to him took a step forward, ready to intervene at any time.
This lady's behavior was very wrong. She was toasting normally, especially since everyone was at the banquet. There was absolutely no reason to bring her own wine glass. After all, this behavior would inevitably be suspicious.
If this young lady really came here under the instigation of Liu Yingxue and Lei Manhe, then with the minds of those two people, it would be impossible for them to do something so suspicious.
Seeing that the other party had handed the wine glass to him, Xia Luotong raised his hand to block it slightly, but he smelled a strange fragrance...
Something's wrong!
This wine...
Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a glance, he stopped Lin Dong beside him who was about to take action to separate the young lady.
Then, she looked at the other person helplessly, shook her hand as if she had failed, and spilled the wine in the glass onto her dress...
"Isn't that right! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, please atone for your sins!" The young lady apologized repeatedly, her face full of apologies.
Although he looked sincere on his face, Xia Luotong knew that the other party did it on purpose. By raising his hand to block it, he pretended not to hold the wine glass firmly, and spilled all the wine in the glass onto his dress. superior.
Looking at the stains on her dress, Xia Luotong's eyes flashed with a sneer.
It seems that we finally took action...
"Oh! Why are you so careless, girl! You actually spilled wine on Princess An!"
"Whose girl is this? Why is she so careless?"
"Princess, why don't you find a side hall to deal with it? This stain is somewhat conspicuous..."
Of course it had to be dealt with, especially today's banquet where many foreign royal families and envoys were present. Naturally, he could not continue to stay at the banquet with such a disrespectful appearance.
Listening to the discussions of the ladies around him, Xia Luotong smiled and nodded: "Then I'll deal with it first."
