Chapter 49: palace banquet
Lin Yan'er looked at the two people wearing the same color clothes, her already pale face became even uglier, she tightly clenched her fingers hidden in her sleeves, and her long nails pierced into her palms, forcing herself to calm down.
"I heard that my cousin has been in poor health, how is it now?"
Shangguanhong sent people to Pingnan Palace to find Nanjun more than once, but they were all blocked by the housekeeper Nanjun's illness.
Now looking at the heroic woman standing beside Qiao Yun, Shangguan Hong couldn't think that this person was sick before.
But thinking that Nan Jun had been in a coma for several months before, and that Shangguan Hong went to see it in person, she couldn't believe it at all.
It doesn't matter if Nanjun is really sick or fake, after all, although she didn't see herself, she didn't go to see the princess either, right?
"Miss Lao Erhuang is concerned. I caught a cold a while ago and haven't recovered very well. But when the weather is warmer, I feel better."
As Nan Jun said, he still didn't forget to put his hands half into fists to his lips, and coughed a few times.
"Your body is important, my cousin should pay more attention."
Shangguan Hong seemed genuinely concerned about Dao.
"Thank you, Second Sister Huang, for your concern. The palace banquet over there is about to start, so I will take my leave first."
Nan Jun nodded silently, he didn't want to spend more time with Shangguan Hong and Lin Yan'er, so he found an excuse.
Lin Yan'er, who didn't want to say anything all this time, took the initiative to say: "Second Highness, let's go there together!"
"Listen to you."
Shangguanhong seemed to be responsive to Lin Yaner's every request.
The four people who had nothing to talk about could only walk towards the pavilion together, with Shangguan Hong and Lin Yan'er walking in front, Nan Jun and Qiao Yun slightly behind.
Passing by a purple lotus pond, Lin Yaner suddenly stopped.
"Your Majesty, have you seen the lotus blooming at this hour?"
The sky is full of purple, which is very beautiful!
Qiao Yun was startled, not understanding why Lin Yan'er suddenly told him this.
"I've never seen it before." Although he didn't want to talk to him, Qiao Yun still said truthfully.
"Heh!" Lin Yan'er sneered, her face was full of disdain, and she didn't hide it at all.
Lin Yan'er continued: "The pool is filled with hot spring water, which is hot all year round, and the lotus in the pond is also unbeatable in all seasons, and it is always so beautiful."
Qiao Yun pursed her lips and did not respond. Looking at the blossoming purple lotus, she felt that with Lin Yan'er around, the lotus would not be so beautiful.
Seeing that Qiao Yun ignored him, Lin Yan'er said again: "Don't you want to touch this hot spring water?"
"In no mood."
Before Qiao Yun could speak, he heard Nan Jun say these two words.
Lin Yan'er's face froze, she bit her lip and dared not speak again.
Nan Jun didn't believe in Lin Yan'er's character, if he tricked Qiao Yun into touching the hot spring water, or did something bad, it would be too late to say anything.
"This pond is always there, you can see it at any time, let's go to the banquet first."
Shangguanhong didn't think there was anything good about this purple lotus. She saw it when she was a child, and thought it was nothing more than ordinary.
After finally finding a seat and sitting down, Nan Jun breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't like dealing with those people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he saw the suspicious eyes of the Eighth Prince, and he thought that she came here with Shangguanhong, which must have made the princess' party suspicious.
Nan Jun didn't feel embarrassed at all, he looked directly at Shangguan Jia, and gave her a smile back.
Shangguan Rong, the seventh emperor who was sitting next to Shangguan Jia, whispered something in her ear, Shangguan Jia nodded at Nan Jun and looked away from Nan Jun.
The princess came late, and everyone got up to greet her.
From this point of view, the emperor's health is really not very good.
Nan Jun was secretly worried that if the emperor had something good or bad, her affectionate father would be sad for a long time.
Speaking of which, Nan Jun didn't want anything to happen to the emperor from the bottom of his heart, after all, that person was a good leader both in public and in private.
If these princesses are not properly settled during the emperor's lifetime, troubles will be inevitable in the future, and it will be difficult for Pingnan Palace to be alone.
"His Majesty, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Everyone stood up to salute, but the princess was still as kind as before.
"Everyone, please be courteous. This is a flower viewing feast. The focus is on pleasing the eyes and the eyes. You don't need to be too polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"
"Although it's spring, it's still cold. You should wear more clothes when you go out."
The prince took the hand of the prince beside him, caring as if complaining.
"It doesn't feel cold."
The princess smiled lightly, her eyes full of peace.
This couple seems to be easy to get along with, and their temperaments are also similar.
Everyone looked at the Tainu and the Tainujun like this, each with their own thoughts.
Shangguan Hong raised his eyebrows, his face full of disdain.
I don't know who is it for me to pretend to be so affectionate in front of everyone? hypocritical!
"Cold?"
Nan Jun took Qiao Yun's hand and rubbed it gently, and asked softly.
Qiao Yun shook his head slightly, and was about to pour tea for Nan Min, when he saw a group of dancers in pink thin shirts coming up.
Nan Jun squinted his eyes and watched curiously, and suddenly felt a pain in his palm, and only then did he see his husband's dissatisfaction.
The little vinegar jar is probably angry.
"Does it look good?"
Gritting her teeth, Qiao Yun pretended not to care and asked.
"It's not pretty."
Nan Jun hurriedly shook his head, pretending to be disgusted.
"puff…"
Qiao Yun didn't hold back, and just laughed out loud.
The interaction between the two certainly did not escape the eyes of those who had been staring at them, Lin Yan'er clenched her fists, full of unwillingness.
A catastrophe, why did she like her?
The red jade on Qiao Yun's forehead was even more dazzling under the sunlight. The red color seemed to be a stone that hit Lin Yan'er's heart, making him breathless.
"His Royal Highness, since today is a rare and auspicious day, Yan'er also wants to perform a dance for everyone, please allow your Highness."
As soon as the dancers retreated, Lin Yan'er got up and said.
"Mr. Lin is unparalleled in talent. If we are lucky enough to watch it, it will be an honor."
Her Royal Highness said politely.
Everyone looked at Lin Yan'er enviously, while Shangguan Hong looked proud.
Every year at the flower viewing feast, the young masters of various families would present their talents. Now that Lin Yan'er took the initiative to invite Ying Ying, Shangguanhong only felt that he had a good face. After all, this talented and beautiful first son would be his side king in the future.
"It's just that Yan'er has another unfeeling request... I also ask for the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
The corners of Nan Jun's eyes twitched suddenly, and there was a bad premonition.
"Mr. Lin, please tell me."
"This "Beautiful Flower" requires two people to dance. Yan'er has heard that Pingnan Wang's daughter-in-law is versatile, and she hopes that the world's daughter-in-law will not give up and can dance with Yan'er."
Nan Jun frowned in displeasure, and she said that Lin Yaner's willingness to speak up must be a good thing.
It's better now, but Qiao Yun was asked to dance with him?
Think beautifully!
Nan Jun was about to refuse, but Qiao Yun stood up and agreed.
"That subject will show his ugliness!"
