Chapter 53 Cousin Cousin (19)

As the end of the new year is approaching and the beginning of spring is approaching, the palace held a grand banquet, and invited all the ministers and their families to the palace to celebrate together.

Qiao Rong had never seen such a grand banquet, so she was very curious.

When she entered the banquet hall, she found that her seat was arranged directly under Qi Yan and the Queen Mother, very close to each other.

Qiao Rong sat down and waited quietly.

After the hall was full, Qi Yan and the Queen Mother arrived belatedly.

Qi Yan slowly stepped onto the first seat, and after sitting down, she first took a look at Qiao Rong, and seeing that she was obedient, she curled her lips and accepted the bowing of all the officials.

After everyone in the hall finished their salutes and took their seats, before the banquet officially started, Qi Yan suddenly raised his hand and gave orders to the eunuch beside him.

Then, everyone saw the eunuch walking up to Qiao Rong with a palace maid, and first placing a steaming porcelain cup on the table in front of her.

Seeing this scene, for a moment, everyone in the venue showed complicated expressions.

After the previous plum appreciation banquet, many ministers heard from their daughters that His Majesty’s attitude towards the little princess was particularly different.

Now it seems that His Majesty may just want to bring the little princess into the palace.

This is nothing, after all, His Majesty has reached his age, but with the body of the little princess, if he becomes a queen, I am afraid...

Moreover, I heard that the prime minister intends to marry His Majesty, but I don't know...

Thinking of this, everyone looked at the prime minister and the daughter of the prime minister's mansion sitting behind him.

The prime minister showed no sign of change, the old god was sitting on the ground.

It's just that the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has been winking at the little princess and showing all kinds of strange smiles.

So everyone looked back, shook their heads and sighed.

Forget it, the prime minister's daughter also seems unreliable.

……

……

Qiao Rong glanced at the steaming soup in front of her eyes, then raised her eyes to Qi Yan.

He was also staring at her, and when he saw her looking over, he slightly hooked his lips and smiled slightly.

Qiu Rong pursed her lips, looked away, picked up the spoon, and began to drink the soup seriously.

Recently, she has to drink this soup before dinner every day. It seems that it is a prescription that Qi Yan got from somewhere, and it has the effect of dispelling cold and warming lungs.

So he had to personally supervise her drinking every day.

It's just that the nourishing speed seems to be not as fast as the cold air invading.

But Qiao Rong still drank it obediently, after all, something is better than nothing.

After that, the banquet officially began.

While eating all kinds of medicinal food, Qiao Rong stared at the dancers dancing in the center of the hall, enjoying it very much.

Well, it is a visual feast!

Especially the lead dancer, with a light figure and a fierce veil, she looked very mysterious.

Qiao Rong watched with interest.

However, after the dance ended, the leading dancer suddenly took a step forward, took off the veil on her face, bowed softly to Qi Yan, then lowered her head and smiled shyly: "... Chu Qianqian, I have met the Holy Majesty."

Qi Yan was staring at Qiao Rong when he was suddenly interrupted by this voice and felt a little unhappy.

But he didn't show it on his face, he just casually shifted his gaze to the center of the hall, and glanced at the slim woman standing there.

He responded casually: "Yeah."

Seeing that his reaction was so dull, Chu Qianqian couldn't help biting her lower lip, and continued to say with a blushing face: "The meaning of this dance is to praise the prosperity of the Great Sheng Kingdom. My daughter specially arranged this dance, hoping to be a good partner for this event." It adds a bit of color to the feast... I wonder what your majesty thinks?"

Qi Yan frowned.

He just saw that Qiao Rong's expression was really interesting, so he glanced at the dance in the middle of the dance, and didn't watch it for the rest of the time, naturally he didn't know how the dance was.

But... Seeing Qiao Rong's interested appearance, it's probably not bad.

So he said lightly: "Well, Wang Fuquan, reward."

Wang Fuquan responded.

Chu Qianqian didn't expect that he would send her away without even asking which noble daughter she was, and couldn't help saying: "...Your Majesty, the minister's daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Shangshu Family of the Household Department..."

Qi Yan frowned, and now he finally looked straight at her.

His eyes moved around her face, and he saw her cheeks were flushed, and the desire and unwillingness in her eyes were clear, and her purpose was very clear.

He couldn't help but sneered, leaned back slightly, and while playing with the wine glass in his hand, asked lazily, "So?"

Chu Qianqian's heart couldn't help but beat as she looked at the handsome face and lazy but alluring temperament of the man in the front seat.
