Hearing this, Leng Zian's brows trembled, and he clasped his fists with a serious face and said:
"My dear brother, take your orders."
The emperor then said to everyone:
"Everyone, today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of the New Year. If any of you want to meet the son of King Zhennan, please come together. Don't mention this matter again today, so as not to disturb everyone's good mood."
Seeing that the emperor had spoken, everyone said no more. Huang Shixiong also tightened his expression and glared at Leng Zian opposite him with disdain.
At this time, Luo Lan glanced at Leng Yu, and then took a long breath. The atmosphere just now was too tense, making her feel depressed.
Her subtle movement caught the emperor's eyes. At this moment, the emperor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her, frowning with cold eyes and asked:
"Princess Yu, how can you sit here? This position is not for you."
Hearing this, Luo Lan secretly took a breath of cold air. When she didn't know how to explain it, Leng Yu cupped his fists and saluted, and then slowly said:
"Back to my father, it was Erchen who asked Lan'er to sit here. She is not familiar with the palace and the people in the palace. She is far away from Erchen. Erchen is really uneasy, fearing that she will If you’re not used to it, please ask Father to understand.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and Yu Qiaoqiao's rosy face suddenly turned pale.
Yu Qiaoqiao could hear it from his words. This Leng Yu was too doting on his Princess Yu. She suddenly felt a sense of sourness in her heart, and something seemed to be tugging at her heart, making her feel a twinge of pain.
As soon as Leng Yu finished speaking, Wu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and said disdainfully:
"It's no wonder that Prince Yu is so worried. I heard that Princess Yu is from the countryside. Maybe she doesn't even know a few Chinese characters! It's really hard to keep a closer look. If you get lost, you may not even be able to find your home. .”
Listening to his sarcastic words, Leng Yu quickly looked at Luo Lan, fearing that she would be unhappy. Seeing that her expression was calm, Leng Yu directly replied:
"As an elder, Taishi Wu can say such slanderous words to the younger generation. It is really puzzling. Although my princess comes from a poor family, her skills are no worse than those of other ladies. Moreover, she is in my heart. Her status is unmatched by anyone, so wherever I am, she must be there, and I must always look at her so that I can feel at ease."
His words were undoubtedly meant for the emperor and everyone present. He did not want these people to look down on Lan'er in the future. He wanted everyone to know that no matter what Lan'er's background was, she was in his own family. Your heart is always the most important, and no one can compare with it.
But as soon as he said these words, not only the emperor suddenly turned cold, but also Chang Guifei's face turned ugly.
However, Leng Yu would not look at them twice. Instead, he looked directly at Luo Lan, smiled softly at her, and then put his hand on hers. His eyes were full of affection and love, which was really enviable. Others.
"snort!"
Taishi Wu's ability to snort people was truly outstanding. As soon as his voice came out, everyone present turned to look at him.
He didn't care about other people's eyes, but said coldly:
"A wild girl from the countryside only knows a few tricks and performed poorly at Concubine Chang's birthday banquet. How can she be called capable?"
His words made Leng Yu's face turn pale. Luo Lan was afraid that he would be angry, so she quickly held his hand and comforted him softly:
"My husband, don't be acquainted with him. There are so many people watching."
Leng Yu's frown softened a little after hearing her persuasion.
Luo Lan turned to look at Master Wu, bowed slightly humbly and said:
"Master Wu's words make sense. Luo Lan is just a girl from the countryside. She is lucky to be blessed by Prince Yu. Those clumsy tricks can never reach the level of elegance."
As soon as she said these words, Wu Hong, who was sitting next to Master Wu, suddenly sneered with his red nose, then twitched the corner of his mouth and hummed disdainfully,
"You are really self-aware. I'm afraid your so-called skills are not as good as the girl in my general's mansion! Hahaha."
His words were somewhat insulting, and Leng Yu couldn't bear it anymore. Just when he wanted to get angry at Wu Hong, Luo Lan shook his head at him again, telling him to put the overall situation first and not to get angry.
Leng Yu would definitely not tolerate his own woman being ridiculed like this in public.
He looked at Wu Hong, the veins on his face jumped. If the emperor hadn't been sitting in front of him, he would have stood up to fight with him and teach him a lesson.
"Stop making noise."
The emperor, who had been watching coldly, roared with cold eyes again. He knew Leng Yu's temper. Although Luo Lan was sitting in that position, he also knew that he could not continue talking in front of so many people, otherwise he would focus on protecting her. Yu'er might do something.
The emperor glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said:
"Don't argue. Today is New Year's Eve. The families of all the important ministers have prepared their talents. It is said that the kings of Tibetan have also brought dancers. How about we perform dances for everyone one by one and compete with the dancers in my palace?" "
Hearing what he said, everyone present was excited. Liu Xi came in front of everyone, glanced at everyone, and slowly said:
"Miss Yu, the daughter of the Yu Shiming family, has amazing dancing skills. She is the most talented woman in the capital. Let's ask her to dance for everyone first."
Hearing this, Taishi Wu's face suddenly turned cold. If the prince Leng Yun hadn't confusedly revealed the wrong thing he had done, how could the name of the most talented woman in the capital change its owner? My poor granddaughter Wu Linlin will definitely perform an amazing dance at this annual banquet.
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt a panic in his heart. He had no intention of looking at Yu Qiaoqiao, who was dancing like a butterfly.
Yu Qiaoqiao's dancing posture stunned everyone. Her eyes glanced at Leng Yu from time to time, but she found that he was not looking at her at all. His beautiful eyes seemed to be on Luo Lan.
She bit her red lips while speeding up her dance steps. It was not until the end of the song and the cheers from the crowd that Leng Yu applauded a few times symbolically. Only he knew that, except for his Lan'er, he He didn't bother to see others showing off in front of him. Maybe this idea was a bit selfish, but it was what he had in mind.
Luo Lan smiled softly at Yu Qiaoqiao. Her dance was really beautiful. It was the kind of soft and boneless beauty that made people fall in love with it after seeing it.
But Prince Yu was dismissive of this. Yu Qiaoqiao stood in front of the emperor and bowed and saluted. The emperor nodded in praise.
"Qiaoqiao's dancing skills are really getting better and better. Anyone who comes will be rewarded."
Being praised by the emperor, Yu Qiaoqiao naturally smiled gracefully. Yu Shiming, who was sitting at the table, was also smiling. His daughter was his pride.
After Yu Qiaoqiao left, several more official ladies came up, and then the dancers brought by various Fan kings began to perform. The scene was once very lively, but Luo Lan was looking forward to ending it as soon as possible. This was a bit long. New Year's Eve banquet, she really wanted to go back and have a good rest.
Just after the group of dancers retreated, Wu Hong's eyes flashed sinisterly for a while, then he narrowed his eyes and said:
"Since today is the New Year's banquet, Princess Yu can't sit still. Seeing that you were intoxicated just now, the rumors in the market must be true. How about letting us see Princess Yu's graceful dancing?"
