The demon concubine of rebirth, you have been tricked by gl

Tuoba Lingjun and Xia Qiulian asked and answered, Yan Banting quietly approached.

Compared with the last time she saw her, Xia Qiulian looked more relaxed, her face was pale and tired, her figure was slender and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

She was smiling, and while speaking with Tuoba Lingjun, her brows were stretched, and the corners of her lips were frivolous, revealing a serious and gentle smile.

But her dark and deep eyes were cold, as if she was forcing herself to laugh.

Yan Wanting looked at Xia Qiulian, carefully scrutinizing her face. She had only seen her once yesterday, but she felt that she hadn't seen Xia Qiulian for a long time.

The face of the woman in front of her seemed to have been engraved on her heart with a knife long ago, the amorous movement at the corners of her eyes and brows, every slight retraction of her clear eyes, every light frown of her brows, was familiar to the bone marrow.

At some point, the topic between Tuoba Lingjun and Xia Qiulian had already touched on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Qing Yuan said proudly that Xia Qiulian's piano skills were unmatched in Jiang Country, and Tuoba Lingjun looked shocked. Envy and regret.

"It's a pity that the concubine Xian was injured, otherwise I would really like to hear her play the piano."

Xia Qiulian suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Wanting who was stunned aside.

"Qiu Lian's injury has healed. If Princess Tuoba wants to hear Qiu Lian play the last song, then Qiu Lian will invite His Highness and Princess Tuoba to come to Jingling Hall tonight, toast to the moon, and play the piano."

The words in Xia Qiulian's mouth were clearly addressed to Tuoba Lingjun, but her eyes were looking at Yan Banting.

Tuoba Lingjun clapped his hands happily.

"If Concubine Xian's injury really heals, I would be very willing."

Xia Qiulian's eyes seemed to be cold, but they seemed to contain a little complex meaning, her clear eyes reflected Yan Banting's figure.

She slightly parted her lips, looked at Yan Wanting and asked softly.

"Your Highness, I am willing to attend the appointment."

Yan Wanting pursed his lips, smiled softly, and answered loudly.

"Since Qiu Lian invited me, I must not miss it."

Xia Qiulian said that she wanted to go back to prepare the banquet, so she led Qing Yuan and Lu Ruan back first.

Yan Wanting stood on the spot and watched the thin figure disappear little by little, and his stretched brows were also wrinkled little by little.

She seemed a little puzzled, a little surprised.

She knew that Xia Qiulian had already guessed that it was she who deliberately set up a trap to induce her to be seriously injured last time.

That's why he was so cold and distant to her these days.

She thought that Xia Qiulian would probably not get close to her again, but she didn't expect Xia Qiulian to take the initiative to invite her and Tuoba to Jingling Palace today.

For a moment, she couldn't guess what Xia Qiulian was thinking.

Retaliation, or temptation.

"Last time, didn't you say that you had offended the concubine Xian, but I saw that she treated you very well." The simple Tuoba Lingjun didn't seem to know how to read people's faces, but just felt it from the heart. To Xia Qiulian's tenderness and kindness to Yan Banting.

It's just how could Yan Wanting be as naive as she thought, she just frowned for a long time before murmuring with her hands behind her back.

"Maybe it's the Hongmen Banquet."

Xia Qiulian took out the brocade-wrapped guqin in the study, and gently stroked the dark and old body of the piano.

"I'd better go and ask the little imperial physician of Fu'an, I don't know if the lady's hands can move the strings."

Qing Yuan chattered all the way, pouted and looked at Xia Qiulian who had already started to pluck the strings with half anger and half worry.

"Then you can ask." Lu Ruan winked at her.

Xia Qiulian kept her head down and stroked the guqin, as if she didn't hear the conversation between the two people beside her.

Qing Yuan trotted away, and went straight to Tai Hospital to find Fu An.

But Fu'an's reply was also timely. She said that Xia Qiulian's wound had healed, and it would be fine if she played a light song, so Qingyuan came back satisfied.

Xia Qiulian ordered the maids in the palace to set up a banquet under the pagoda tree in the yard, and served delicious food and wine.

The sun had just set in the sky, and Yan Banting and Tuoba Lingjun arrived as promised.

Compared with Tuoba Lingjun's smiling face, Yan Banting is calm and taciturn.

She was dressed in a loose white robe, with the inseparable jade flute hanging from her waist, her brows were slightly frowned, and she came with her hands behind her back.

The breeze, the bright moon, the green willows, the delicacies, the wine and the beauties.

Xia Qiulian, who was sitting by the Guqin, didn't seem to be dressed up because she wanted to entertain guests. Instead, she was dressed in a simple white palace robe like Yan Wanting, with light silver simple patterns embroidered with silver thread on it.

On the white and slender jade neck, there is a small jade bead, wrapped with red thread, which happens to fall between the attractive collarbone.

The ink-like blue silk fluttered gently on the shoulders with the breeze.

"Concubine Xian is the most beautiful woman from the Central Plains I have ever seen, much more beautiful than Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Tuoba Lingjun greeted him and looked at Xia Qiulian with a smile.

Xia Qiulian raised her head, her eyes as clear and deep as a pool of autumn water carried a slight smile.

"Princess Tuoba said so, isn't it afraid that His Highness will be displeased?"

Tuoba Lingjun walked to the table and sat down unceremoniously, and waved his hand.

"I'm telling the truth, she has nothing to be unhappy about."

Yan Wanting swept her lightly, and hummed softly.

"Smooter."

"Your Highness, the wine prepared by Qiu Lian today is Jiang Guo Bai Liujiu, which was begged from the concubine Zhao. It is sweet and mellow. Your Highness is willing to try it."

Xia Qiulian reached out to pick up the jade jug on the table, gently opened the lid, and a seductive mellow fragrance came out, making people feel a little ecstatic when they smelled the wine.

Tuoba Lingjun is a person who loves wine, when he smelled the tangy aroma of wine lightly, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said.

"Good wine is good wine when you smell it."

It's just that Yan Wanting's face changed slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she looked down at the pot of wine in Xia Qiulian's hand slightly, seemingly absent-minded.

this wine.

It was Yan Banting's favorite wine in the previous life. Although she can't drink well, she especially likes Bailiu wine.

Every festival, I would grab a pot from Ye Zhaoyin and come to Jingling Palace to find Xia Qiulian, wanting to have a drink with her.

Although he doesn't drink well, he wants to drink a few more glasses. He is still leaning on Xia Qiulian's neck after being drunk, muttering presumptuously.

"The taste of this wine is like the fragrance of Qiu Lian's body."

Yan Wanting didn't know why Xia Qiulian suddenly invited her to a banquet today, and specially prepared Bai Liujiu.

Xia Qiulian filled the wine for Yan Wanting and raised the glass.

"The first glass of wine is toast to Your Highness."

Yan Wanting hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the wine in Xia Qiulian's hand. Just a light touch of that cold fingertip made Yan Wanting startled.

Why are her hands so cold?

"If you feel cold, put on another coat, don't catch the wind and cold."

Yan Wanting subconsciously said softly.

Xia Qiulian withdrew his hand, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. After Qiu Lian recovered from her self-injury, her body is so cold, and there is no serious problem."

Hearing what Xia Qiulian said, Yan Wanting was stunned. She raised her lips and smiled, raised her head slightly and drank the wine in the glass straight away.
