Unscrupulous stick: kidnap a regent to farm

Chapter 281 Palace Banquet 3
"It's not impossible." Duanmuhan replied brightly.

Long Yuejiao puckered her lips, "But she is only a teenager, a child, and she wanted to marry so early, could it be because Mrs. Zhao is insane?"

"More than ten, not too young." Looking at her, Duanmuhan said meaningfully.

Long Yuejiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "A dozen is not too young? You are killing the country's seedlings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the thick ink in his eyes, and instantly thought of another meaning in his words, and said with a blushing face, "Maybe being a teenager is not too young, but I won't get married when I am a teenager." Yes, at least 20 years old!"

"Twenty..." Duanmuhan sighed faintly.

Long Yue frowned, stared at him and said, "What? Can't you?"

"Okay." It's just that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and if she is twenty, there are still many years, a long time...

As if she knew what he was thinking, Long Yuejiao blushed like a boiled shrimp, her head drooped so that only the back of her head could be seen.

At this moment, Long Yuejiao suddenly thought of something, looked up at him and said, "Wait, I thought of another possibility."

"What?" He didn't keep up with her rhythm for a while.

"Long Qiaoyu recognizes her godfather, probably because she wants to enter the palace as a concubine?" Narrowing her eyes, Long Yue said softly.

Duanmuhan frowned, "Why?"

Puckering her lower lip, Long Yuejiao leaned on her head and said, "I just suddenly remembered that many women want to become concubines in the palace, and I thought of this immediately."

"It's possible." He nodded.

Long Yuejiao turned her head to look at Long Qiaoyu, and said, "Do you think she will be favored by the emperor?"

"No." He answered decisively.

"Why?" Long Yue looked back at him tenderly, with a curious look on her face.

"How could this king's nephew be so worthless, and choose such a person who likes to gain power?" Duanmuhan said contemptuously, curling his lips.

Long Yue stroked her chin tenderly, but didn't make a sound.

At this time, a sharp summoning voice came from outside, "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, the princess is here."

As soon as the sound fell, everyone in the hall got up together, including Long Yuejiao and Duanmuhan.

When the three people who had just shouted slowly entered the room, everyone knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, please see the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and Your Highness the Princess."

Long Yuejiao originally wanted to kneel at the same time, but Duanmuhan suddenly pulled her back. She glanced at him suspiciously, and he said calmly, "You don't need to kneel."

"I'm different from you, you don't have to, but I'm an ordinary citizen, how can I not kneel?" Leaving the words coldly, Long Yue pushed his hand away and knelt down, but didn't shout what everyone shouted. talk.

Duanmu Lei supported the Empress Dowager and walked in front, followed by several court ladies and eunuchs, while Duanmu Xiaoxiao fell behind, and they walked into the hall slowly and steadily.

After walking to the front and back of the Dragon Chair, Duanmu Lei dragged the Queen Mother to sit down leisurely together, but Duanmu Xiaoxiao turned around and was about to walk to the seat on the lower left of the imperial seat.

When she glanced fiercely, she saw that there was a woman beside Duanmuhan, she was curious, and walked back towards Long Yuejiao who was beside Duanmuhan. After reaching Long Yuejiao, she pointed Looking at the vacant seat beside her, he asked the eunuch standing behind him to add a table and chairs there.

While Duanmu Xiaoxiao was doing this, Duanmulei had already told everyone to get up and let them return to their seats.

Glancing at everyone, Duanmu Lei spoke in a clear but childish voice, "I want to celebrate my birthday this year in a lively manner, so I held this palace banquet. The purpose of holding this palace banquet is to make everyone happy." Let's get together happily, and the ministers should not be too cautious."

"Yes." Everyone looked at each other and agreed.

Duanmulei nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the chief eunuch standing beside him.

The chief eunuch understood, cleared his throat, and said, "The emperor's birthday is celebrated all over the world. Today, several Fan Kingdom kings sent envoys to present congratulatory gifts. Come, the envoys will meet you!"

After the sound fell, the eunuch standing outside the hall shouted, "The envoy of the Xuanfan Kingdom is here..."

A moment after the long echo fell, there were waves of summons from outside the hall, "Xiao Guo, Yue Guo, Long Guo... the messengers are here."

Immediately afterwards, a group of people in various costumes entered the hall.

When they got to the center of the hall, everyone stopped, knelt down and saluted Duanmu Lei, "The envoys of Xiao Kingdom, the envoys of Yue Kingdom, and the envoys of Dragon Kingdom...have seen the emperor."

"The envoys are exempt." Duanmu Lei said in a low voice.

After all the envoys expressed their thanks, they stood up, and the envoy of Xiao Guo who was the leader said, "Your Majesty, the king of Xiao Guo ordered my servants and princess to present ten rare pearls as a congratulatory gift. I wish the emperor a happy birthday and long live the emperor! age."

"Princess?" When reading these two words, Duanmulei cast his eyes on Xiao Liumei who was beside the envoy of Xiao Kingdom.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Xiao hurriedly responded, and extended his finger to introduce to Xiao Liumei, "Your Majesty, this is my princess of the Kingdom of Xiao, named Xiao Liumei, and she is the youngest princess of the king of the Kingdom of Xiao."

After his introduction, Xiao Liumei immediately bowed and saluted, "Xiao Liumei has met the Emperor Daqing."

"En." Duanmulei responded, smiled softly, said hello three times, and said, "The king of Xiao Guo has a heart, please ask the envoy to thank the king for me when I go back, and say that I understand his heart."

Xiao Guo's envoy showed joy, and hurriedly sent Dongzhu to him.

Duanmulei cast a look at the chief eunuch, who immediately asked people to accept him, and called Xiao Liumei and the envoy of Xiao Guo to go and sit down.

After they sat down, envoys from Yue Kingdom and Dragon Kingdom presented gifts one by one, and introduced the people who came with them.

Among these people, there are three princesses, two princes, and one person who plays an important role in the country and worships the prime minister.

After all these people were seated, the chief eunuch announced the start of the palace banquet in a sharp voice.

All kinds of dishes were passed on one by one, and at the same time, various songs and dances were arranged in turn.

The people present ate it, looked at it, chatted and commented on the dance from time to time, and the scene looked very pleasant.

Of course, Long Yuejiao was not included among such happy people.

After Duanmu Xiaoxiao sat beside her, she kept asking her what was the relationship with Duanmuhan. She said it didn't matter, so she asked her why she sat with Duanmuhan if it didn't matter.

In short, every time Long Yuejiao answered her question, another question came to make things difficult for her. In the end, Long Yuejiao just kept silent.

It was quite smart to keep silent, but Duanmu Xiaoxiao was very smart when she saw that she didn't answer her own words, she became angry, "You, an ordinary citizen, dare to despise this princess so much, do you want to die?"

Long Yuejiao was a little helpless, even more speechless. When she was about to run away, Duanmu said coldly, "As a princess of a country, how can you talk so much? You don't have any reservations at all!"
