After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

When the dinner started, Nangong Yuan had just returned from the side hall.

She stayed in the house for too long, and her cheeks turned red from the heat from the floor.

"Miss, don't go out in the wind. You'll catch a cold easily."

Nangong Yuan touched his forehead and felt a little dizzy, perhaps because he had slept for too long.

"Okay, get me something to cool it down."

So Tao Zhu gave her a cold hand warmer.

Sure enough, the stove was very cold after being turned down. She put her cheek against it and asked after a while, "Is there any news from the front hall?"

"Not yet. Miss, are you worried about His Majesty the Night King?"

Nangong Yuan said: "This matter is dangerous, I just want to know what the result is."

"No news is the best news."

Whether it is good or bad, it is not a good thing once it is spread to everyone.

She nodded slightly: "You are right, he is careful in his actions and will not let others easily see his decision. I will ask him after the banquet is over."

Because she was worried about something, Nangong Yuan was not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Tao Zhu asked for a bowl of osmanthus soup for her: "Miss, eat something and go to the front hall later."

There was actually nothing fun about the palace banquet. Everyone followed the rules, so it wasn't very lively.

She finished her soup before going out.

Mrs. Shen and the others were talking in the tea room set up in the side hall, and they seemed quite peaceful.

Nangong Yuan wandered around out of boredom and came back just in time for the banquet to start.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

Everyone knelt and saluted, and waited until they sat down before standing up.

"Today is New Year's Day, and the palace is hosting a banquet to celebrate. You don't have to be formal, just drink to your heart's content!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Nangong Yuan bowed her head and just as she raised her head she met a pair of deep eyes.

The man sat in the upper seat and looked taller than the others because he was in a wheelchair.

At this moment, those beautiful eyes seemed to be smiling, and they looked at her with extraordinary concentration.

Nangong Yuan was not nervous. With so many people present, no one could tell who he was looking at.

So she was very calm and gave him a faint smile.

"A Yuan, look, all the nobles of Kyoto are gathered here today, is there anyone who catches your eye?"

Although Mrs. Shen was not obsessed with arranging a blind date for her, seeing that other people's daughters were engaged, she was curious about what kind of person Nangong Yuan liked.

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan curled her lips and smiled: "Yes, but... let's talk about it later."

"Really?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up and she sat closer happily.

"A Yuan, if there really is one, there is no need to hide it. Mother will go and arrange a marriage for you personally."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. I need to observe the other person's character. I can't marry myself off so rashly."

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Shen nodded: "You are right. After all, marriage is an important matter."

She was lucky to marry General Nangong, but looking at all the people in the capital, who could compare to him?

It is hard to say whether Nangong Yuan has this good luck, so we need to observe carefully.

Seeing this, she smiled slightly, unable to hide her joy.

Xiao Heyun, who was far away, carefully identified her lip shape and his expression relaxed slightly.

"A Yuan, you are really..."

Nangong Yuan was not too worried. After all, she spoke softly and the seats were separated, so no one else could hear her at all.

"Your Majesty, you love the people like your own children and are diligent in government affairs. You have worked so hard this year. I offer you a toast."

Hearing this, the emperor looked somewhat happy; "Okay."

He had been drinking and seemed more relaxed than usual.

The queen standing by didn't say anything and seemed a little unhappy.

Nangong Yuan thought, it seemed that the relationship between the emperor and the empress was getting worse day by day.

"Your Majesty, drink less wine, or you will get a stomachache."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded, but continued to drink.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, but soon, song and dance music began to play.

As a result, the tense atmosphere in the palace began to ease. The emperor did not blame the queen harshly, but he spoke very little.

Soon, a minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, although this kind of song and dance is beautiful, it lacks some characteristics. I happened to find a dancer a while ago, and I would like to perform a dance for Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand in agreement.

Today is New Year's Day, and he will not spoil the fun no matter what.

After a while, the music changed.

The sound of drums made people's scalps numb.

Then a fragrant breeze wafted over from afar.

Nangong Yuan looked over subconsciously and saw a woman in red, dressed boldly, walking in from the palace door.

She danced as she walked, her steps were brisk and bright, her fiery red skirt spinning in the hall, as beautiful as a delicate flower.

"Oh? This dance looks like a foreign dance."

Nangong Yuan had never seen such a dance in Dajing and thought it was a Western specialty.

"Oh my god, look!"

The woman took off her veil, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her beautiful eyes are like black pearls, her nose is high and her lips are bright red.

It is an extremely aggressive beauty, like a flower blooming on a cliff, with an intoxicating attraction.

Boom boom boom!

The drum beats became more and more rapid. The woman's beautiful long hair was dotted with colorful hair chains, sparkling and making her look incredibly beautiful.

"I, Han Yue, present a New Year dance to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever and enjoy eternal health."

When the dance was over, the woman stood down gracefully, her waist was soft and her eyes were charming.

The emperor was very happy and applauded, saying, "What a beautiful lady! Her dancing is so moving."

"Your Majesty, this girl is an orphan and she admires Your Majesty. If she can serve you, it will be considered as fulfilling her wish."

The emperor was very happy about this: "Okay, then you can enter the palace and follow me. I will make you Concubine Qing and let you live in Wanhua Palace."

The woman waved her hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The voice was surprisingly hoarse and magnetic, with a hint of provocation.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan ate melon seeds leisurely.

I have to say, the beauty trap is really useful.

It is normal for His Majesty to lose control when faced with such a beauty.

There haven't been any new people in the harem for a long time. Now the relationship between the emperor and the empress is not harmonious, the virtuous concubine is getting old, and the rest are all tried and true, so they are not new.

The emperor found it boring and stayed in the front court all day to handle government affairs, and he could only go to the harem a few times a month.

Now that there is a new person, people are naturally restless.

"Hey, I hope this Concubine Qing is a peaceful person."

She ate another piece of melon and saw Xiao Heyun when she turned her head.

The man opened his mouth and said something.

Nangong Yuan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "A Yuan..."

"Okay, what do you want me to do?"

She raised her eyebrows and said something inaudibly.

Sure enough, I saw Xiao Heyun's inquiring eyes.

But Nangong Yuan seemed not to see it and just turned his eyes away.

This made Xiao Heyun a little anxious.
