Huaiyong didn't know that he had been noticed. As a master specially invited by the Queen Mother to study Buddhism in the palace, he had a considerable status in the harem.
Coupled with the fact that he was young, strong and tall, many of the maids blushed at him and secretly discussed him in private, which greatly satisfied his self-confidence.
Therefore, when he followed the Queen Mother to the table at the New Year's Eve banquet, and met Liu Guiren's direct gaze, Huaiyong felt even more proud.
Look, even the emperor's concubines couldn't help but look at him.
[Is this the monk? Except for the lack of hair on his forehead, he doesn't look like a monk at all. 】
Liu Man thought that no one was paying attention to her position, so she held her head and looked at Huai Yong blatantly.
The Emperor had been paying close attention to Liu Man since she took her seat. He saw her looking at the monk but not at him. Even the golden scroll on the table was more attractive than him!
The emperor couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but when he thought that he was the only one who could hear Liu Man's voice, he also felt that they were destined to be connected.
[However, this monk’s nose is straight and straight, and his ability is quite outstanding compared to that. No wonder the Queen Mother can’t do without him every night. 】
From Liu Man's aesthetic point of view, Huaiyong is like a modern martial arts boy, quite masculine.
emperor:? ? ?
Is that what he thought?
The Queen and Concubine Zhao were also shocked. In the early years, they had been tortured by the Empress Dowager's talk about the three obediences and the four virtues.
I also wanted to respect my elders, so I got up before dawn and rushed to Shoukang Palace to serve the Queen Mother, dress and wash.
She also wanted to put her husband first and pay attention to the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if the emperor was greedy for cold clothes and coughed twice, the queen mother would blame it on herself and she would kneel down and listen to the lecture for an hour.
Now I heard that the Queen Mother blatantly kept a male pet in the palace!
【but……】
The Emperor, the Queen, and Concubine Zhao: But what? Say it quickly! ! !
Liu Man didn't know what she thought of, and looked strange.
[My father’s woman is called Xiaoma, but what about my mother’s man? 】
The emperor looked horrified and even wanted to cover his ears with his hands.
But Liu Man's heartbeat still entered his brain in a vicious way.
[Huaiyong is really a role model for us, even the emperor calls him "little daddy" when he sees him! 】
At the banquet, they carefully paid attention to the movements of the people around them, and saw the Emperor, Queen, and Concubine Zhao all looking at Monk Huaiyong, who was standing behind the Queen Mother and posing in the Xianfeng Daogu.
Everyone was a little confused. This monk looked very good, but he didn't hear there was anything special about him. How could he attract the emperor's attention?
Not sure, check again.
The New Year's Eve Palace Banquet invited not only the concubines of the harem nobles and above, but also the family members of the third-rank ministers in the court. It was considered a small annual party.
Usually the emperor would reward meritorious ministers and their families at a banquet. This was a great honor, enough to last half a year.
Seeing this behavior, many people murmured in their hearts, could it be that the emperor took a fancy to that monk and was planning to promote him to a higher rank?
Meng Yanyan followed Mrs. Wen and sat obediently on the seat, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
Why did the emperor suddenly look at Huaiyong, his eyes were quite kind, and she seemed to see murderous intent in them.
Could it be that...he knew about his deal with Huaiyong?
Meng Yanyan couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the extremely cruel methods the emperor used against his enemies in the original novel.
Her strangeness naturally did not escape Mrs. Wen's eyes.
This was Qing'er's first time attending a palace banquet, and she would have to perform in public later, so it was right for her to feel scared.
Mrs. Wen gently patted the back of Meng Yanyan's hand, "Don't be afraid, Qing'er. Just show your original level in the next performance. It's just a formality. Your attack is already a certainty."
Meng Yanyan's hanging heart slowly dropped.
She is the heroine, and she is destined to cause a stir in the harem. Gods will kill gods, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas. How could something happen before she even enters the palace?
The top priority now is to dance well. It is best to make the emperor fall in love with her at first sight and leave the best impression.
Meng Yanyan had an indescribable feeling.
There was a voice in the dark telling her that she was the heroine of this world, and she had the halo of being a heroine. All men who were useful to her would fall in love with her involuntarily!
