Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Father Bai sat beside Bai Xing, with a straight posture and "fierce" gaze, he didn't seem to be attending a banquet in the palace, but rather like attending a swearing-in meeting before marching and fighting.

Bai Xing sat on the side, somewhat uncomfortable, so he had to turn sideways to talk to Ji Wuyan, "What are you two talking about?"

After the words fell, I clearly felt the unfriendly sight from the side and rear...

"It's nothing." Ji Wuyan turned his head and waved at him, then pointed to the cup in front of him, and waved again, the meaning was self-evident.Although Bai Xing didn't know what she was planning, he still handed it over.

Seeing Ji Wuyan take the small flagon in front of her, and whispered to her grandmother, the grandmother shook her head, and she poured a glass of wine from the small flagon and handed it back.

Bai Xing was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out, "How do you know..."

The jade liquid fine wine at the banquet is naturally to be tasted first-class, but today there is a "fierce face" sitting next to him, staring at him covetously.It was the same in the past, but at that time I had to rely on my grandmother to sit, so I could drink some, but this time... this time, I couldn't touch a drop.

Ji Wuyan put his fingertips to his lips, made a gesture of silence, then pointed to Father Bai who was staring at the singing and dancing with an "upright" expression, and blinked—probably because Ji Wuyan was present, this Master Bai today She didn't even look here, she was very "distinct"... but gave her a chance to "present her love" with a drink.

Bai Xing lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, sneaking around for a while, looked at Ji Wuyan, and asked, "Ji Wuyan, did I tell you something?" He rarely called her by name, In other words, Bai Xing rarely calls people by their first and last names.

Except... Li Yuqi.

Ji Wuyan shook his head, saying, never.

Bai Xing smiled at her, obviously only took a sip of wine, but he seemed drunk, his smile was silly and sweet, reminding Ji Wuyan of his elder brother's childhood, when he hid a few words in a naive manner. The appearance of sharing a candy with herself.

Then, she heard Bai Xing tell her, "Then let me tell you now...you are exactly the same as the sister I imagined."

Ji Wuyan trembled slightly. After a while, she twitched the corners of her mouth and tried to put on a smiling expression. She said, "Yes. You are just like my elder brother."

If she had heard these words before, she probably wouldn't have been moved. She just felt that the Bai family seemed to want a girl.Bai Xing is, and so is Mrs. Bai.

But hearing this now, I feel distressed for no reason.

She opened her mouth, and when she was thinking about what to say, she suddenly saw the young man who had just left trotting in along the base of the wall, ran behind Li Yuqi, covered her mouth with her hand and said something in her ear, Li Yuqi He nodded at the other party, but his gaze fell in his direction.

That look... makes me uncomfortable.

Bai Xing also noticed it, frowned slightly, and drank the wine that he was reluctant to drink just now on his back, put down the glass, and said in a disgusted and impatient voice, "This guy...what the hell are you going to do? "

Ji Wuyan nodded, especially agreeing with this statement.

"Father, mother and concubine." Li Yuqi looked away from Ji Wuyan, looked at the people on the high platform, stood up and cupped his hands, "Father, mother and concubine. Previously, Lu Jiangjiang, the son of the Lu family, gave his son the A girl was sent here. Everyone in the world knows that since the concubine was gone, the son-in-law was immersed in grief every day and couldn't extricate himself, and he had no intention of marrying another... Although Lu Jiangjiang did it out of good intentions, the son-in-law thought If you don't want to, just refuse."

He paved the way endlessly, and even the emperor lost his patience, "Pick up the key points."

"Yes..." Li Yuqi showed embarrassment, smiled "hehe", and responded, but still paved the way slowly, "After my son refused, Lu Jiangjiang still didn't give up, and asked to see him one after another. My son thought After all, they are all prestigious people in Yanjing City, and they always want to live with face, so they agreed to meet. He thought that if he refused after meeting, he would not be able to force it."

"Who knows..."

Ji Wuyan teased in a low voice, "It would be very suitable for the prince of the East Palace to change his career to storytelling in teahouses and restaurants."

It sounds interesting, but to stop abruptly like this is not the usual trick of storytellers.And what is the meaning of this long passage?Lu Jiangjiang secretly sent him a beauty, but he was lucky, in order to prove himself that he had not changed his original intention towards his dead wife, so he took it out and publicized it?The face of the Lu family... I'm afraid it's gone.

Bai Xing pulled the corners of his mouth into a smirk, raised his voice and said for him, "Who knows... When you saw that girl, you fell in love with her immediately?"

In the crowd, someone couldn't hold it back for a while, and laughed out loud. The laughter was short and abrupt, and could not be suppressed.

"Bai Xing!" Li Yuqi didn't want to see Bai Xing, and never concealed it. He said sarcastically, "Do you think that everyone is like you, living among thousands of flowers, being merciful and unrestrained everywhere?"

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness is the most infatuated. At that time, everyone knew that Wan Nian was not married. Although the man has passed away, we are still alive, and we still remember His Highness's promise, the dignified prince. Your Highness, don't break your word!"

After the words fell, there was a coughing sound from beside him, and Father Bai scolded in a rough and unhurried voice, "What nonsense! How can you make fun of the marriage of the Prince of the East Palace?"

"That's right." Bai Xing nodded obediently, and murmured in a low voice, "A widower can't inherit the throne... Jiangshan is still a beauty, it's really a problem..."

Li Yuqi's face turned cold, and he clenched his hands by his side tightly, the veins on his neck came out, he thought to himself that this white line had really become more unscrupulous and shameless in words and deeds!

But when Bai Xing said this, he seemed to be wandering away, and his voice was not high, just the kind that people could vaguely hear clearly, as if he was just subconsciously chanting out what he wanted in his heart.

Li Yuqi knew very well that if he got into trouble with him and made this matter worse than his own, the best way at this time is to just pretend that he didn't hear anything at all.However, being ridiculed by others in front of me made me panic.

He clenched his fists, took a slow and deep breath, squeezed out a gentle and decent expression, and continued the topic that was diverted just now, only as if this episode did not exist.He looked up, "Father, mother concubine. Lu Jiangjiang sent this person, which really shocked my son... If not, I will let my father and mother concubine meet today. Just in time, let her present one for my mother and concubine." How about dancing?"

The courtiers looked at each other - which song did the prince sing?Some people stretched their necks and looked towards the seats of the Lu family, wanting to find out.
