Fast Travel: Male God, please don't pet me

Chapter 16 The Infatuated Emperor vs the Orphaned Girl 15
In the blink of an eye, the emperor's birthday has arrived.

On this day, the palace was full of joy, and the maids and eunuchs were rushing between the dining room and the main hall, for fear that something might go wrong with the banquet.

In Fenghua Palace, Li Qi sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the people behind him who hesitated to speak several times, and said helplessly: "Yue'er, you have been absent-minded from early morning to now, what's the matter, tell me? "

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant knows I was wrong." Hearing Li Qi's words, Yue'er turned pale with fright, and quickly knelt on the ground to admit her mistake.

After all, it's a big no-no to get distracted while serving your queen's dressing.

"Get up, I don't blame you," Li Qi was displeased with the fact that the ancients would kneel down every now and then, but he also understood that this could not be changed overnight.

"Thank you, empress," Yue'er didn't dare to be distracted anymore, stood up and carefully tied Li Qi's hair into a bun.

After finishing washing, Yue'er looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. She hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and reminded her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, today is your birthday..."

Li Qi was startled, and turned his gaze out of the window, only to realize that today's Fenghua Palace seems to be busier than in the past, so he couldn't help asking, "Where's Nangong Jue?"

"Qin An said that His Majesty has been in the study and has never come out."

For her own mother to call His Majesty's name directly, Yue'er was already used to it from being shocked at the beginning, so she just replied calmly.

Li Qi frowned slightly: "I see, you go down."

Not yet,

Inside the Royal Palace, lights and festoons are everywhere, and the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious.

A row of court ladies filed in, displaying dishes of delicacies and delicacies on several tables. All the royal grandchildren and nobles have arrived one after another and are waiting for the start of the banquet.

Next to the majestic and noble dragon chair directly above the main hall, there is another golden chair that is not inferior at all, and everyone understands it when they see it.

I have long heard that His Majesty favored the daughter of the late General Sheng, and when I saw her today, I found it true.

Even the queens of all dynasties have never enjoyed such an honor.

Looking at Concubine Yan who could only sit below, many ministers who wanted to take this opportunity to present their daughters to the emperor couldn't help but reconsider.

It would be good if he could be married to the royal family, but if he angered His Majesty, he would lose his official position and lose more than the gain.

Song Yan calmly accepted the gazes of everyone, but the hands in her sleeves were clenched very tightly, as if this was the only way to alleviate the embarrassment in her heart.

The hatred for Sheng Qianyu grew stronger in my heart.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Yu, the Crown Prince of Nanyang, was placed opposite Song Yan. Seeing the beauty sad, his eyes were full of heartache and he wished he could immediately step forward to comfort her.

Probably sensing his gaze, Song Yan raised her head and smiled softly at him, but her smile looked stiff.

Xiao Yu couldn't stand it any longer, and when he was about to get up, a sharp voice sounded: "The emperor is here."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live," all the officials knelt down, their eyes full of awe.

The man in the peripheral vision was dressed in bright yellow robes, standing proudly, with cold eyebrows.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As early as when Nangong Jue appeared, the resentment in Song Yan's eyes had turned into obsession, which made Xiao Yu uncomfortable.

I can only sit down and drink in secret.

After everyone was seated, the banquet really started. Nangong Jue felt his heart suffocate as he looked at the vacant seats beside him.

Did she still not come after all?

After the ministers presented their gifts, they enjoyed singing and dancing. Of course, there were also many wealthy ladies who put in their best performances in order to attract the emperor's attention.

But when they saw that the emperor's eyes were not on them at all, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
