The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 31 Guardian (1)
Before the palace banquet started, Nan Mengjie and Ye Yuchen also sat in their seats. Before Nan Mengjie took their seats, she was not summoned by the emperor. In addition, the third prince was absent. Nan Mengjie knew that the emperor was standing by Ye Yuchen this time. Chen here.

As Ye Yuchen expected, Nan Mengjie really didn't like this atmosphere, and she looked listless from the moment she entered the arena.

"Fifth brother, I offer you a toast, I wish you and your siblings a long life," the prince said to Ye Yuchen with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Prince," Ye Yuchen smiled after hearing the congratulations, picked up the wine glass and finished drinking.

Nan Mengjie didn't stop Ye Yuchen from drinking, but after glancing at the prince, she always felt that he had malicious intentions.

The emperor's birthday banquet naturally required singing and dancing. When the daughters of various families were performing hard, the prince and several people close to him began to toast Ye Yuchen in turn.

"Fifth Prince, I'll toast you again," a man said to Ye Yuchen while holding a wine glass.

Looking at Ye Yuchen, who had flushed cheeks and a silly smile, Nan Mengjie grabbed the wine glass in his hand and said to the man who was toasting, "The Fifth Prince can't drink any more, I'll drink this glass of wine for him."

Watching Nan Mengjie drink it in one gulp, the prince smiled and said, "Your brother and sister are really huge, I offer you a toast."

During the next two dances, Nan Mengjie asked the prince and the others to drink more than a dozen glasses of wine for various reasons. Apart from a little flush on her cheeks, she was not drunk at all.

"Miss, don't drink any more, you'll get drunk," Ye Yuchen persuaded Nan Mengjie by pulling her away.

"It's okay, just relying on their little knowledge, they still want to force me, it's far away," Nan Mengjie whispered close to Ye Yuchen's ear.

Because of Nan Mengjie's whispering, Ye Yuchen's body felt numb for an instant, as if being electrocuted.

The situation on Nan Mengjie's side attracted the attention of many people present, some of them sympathized with her, some despised her, and some just waited to see her having fun.Nan Mengjie didn't care about these gazes at all. She entered the palace this time to stand up for Ye Yuchen, so she won't back down.

Gong Yanhao looked at Nan Mengjie and didn't show the slightest feeling of familiarity, but he was a little worried for Nan Mengjie. After all, Nan Mengjie was a woman, how could she withstand so many toasts.

"Fifth Imperial Concubine, I heard from Mengxi that you are versatile, why don't you perform a part today to cheer everyone up," the Queen smiled and issued an invitation that could not be refused.

The queen only let Nan Mengjie perform after hearing the rumors from outside. She just wanted to make Nan Mengjie look ugly, and she also wanted to see her strength by the way.

"Empress, sister Mengxi is promoting the concubine. The concubine has been clumsy since she was a child and can't learn anything. Then the younger sister will be very talented," Nan Mengjie smiled and rejected the queen.

"The fifth imperial concubine is really self-effacing. Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, so you can perform a show that you are good at." This time the queen directly ordered, and did not give Nan Mengjie a chance to make a decision.

"Since the empress has said so, the concubine will show her shame," Nan Mengjie smiled and got up to perform.

"My lady..." Ye Yuchen pulled Nan Mengjie with a worried expression and called softly.

Nan Mengjie looked at Ye Yuchen and patted his hand lightly, giving Ye Yuchen a reassuring look.

Ye Yuchen had seen Nan Mengjie's dance, which was very attractive, but her coquettish dance was not suitable for a palace banquet, so she was a little worried.Ye Yuchen wanted to stop him, but because of "stupidity", he seemed to have more than enough energy.

What Nan Mengjie will perform this time is drumming, drumming is to beat the small drums around with silk and satin while dancing. This kind of dance requires a lot of strength for women, and Beisu Kingdom advocates literature, so ordinary women are I will not practice this dance.
