Businesswoman Chenghuang

Chapter 23 Proposal
Without the singing and dancing, the banquet looked much more solemn. Gu Wanyue whispered something to Xin Xiu, and seeing Xin Xiu nodded in understanding and left, she returned to Xuan Qianyi and sat down.

"Sister, have you met him?" Xuan Qianyi asked pointedly.

"Sister Qianyi knows, doesn't she?" Gu Wanyue smiled.

"You girl." Xuan Qianyi had nothing to do with her, she shook her head and smiled wryly, "My birthday banquet has become a foil for you."

"No way!" Gu Wanyue yelled coquettishly, "Sister Qianyi, look at the young master here, who is not eager to stare at you, I hope you will look at you, Wanyue is not greedy, just domineering." The most inconspicuous one, Sister Qianyi will be perfect, how about Wan Yue?"

"Looking at the pitiful look you said, my sister can still be cheeky to snatch you!" Xuan Qianyi couldn't resist Gu Wanyue's tenderness offensive, and continued: "If Prince Cangli is an inconspicuous , there is no top-notch talent in this full table, well, you should stop putting gold on your face, don't you just sit there, and you won't lose it!"

Seeing Xuan Qianyi looking this way, Ye Yan raised his glass and nodded.

"I knew Sister Qianyi was the best." Gu Wanyue pinched Xuan Qianyi's sleeve with her hand under the table and said in a naive voice.

Xuan Qianyi glanced at her, there was nothing he could do about her, so he shook his head.

While Gu Wanyue was chatting with Xuan Qianyi, someone finally couldn't bear to speak.

"His Majesty's birthday is today, I wish Your Majesty eternal youth!" A man in his twenties stood up and raised his glass and said, "I respect Your Majesty!"

Xuan Qianyi knew that it was Ji Yun, the youngest son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War who was speaking, and raised his glass with a smile, brought the wine glass to his lips, and took a sip.

With Ji Yun's beginning, the rest of the people also got up to congratulate.

Sitting on the seat, the Lord Dongqu said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, on the one hand, everyone is here because of your birthday, on the other hand..." The Lord Dongqu smiled meaningfully, "Everyone knows You don’t have to be a fool if you know it well, just say it straight.”

Xuan Qianyi glanced at everyone in the seat with a pair of wise eyes, showing his majesty, "I do have a candidate in my mind, but it is not one of them, so there is no need to guess."

After hearing this, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect the result to be like this. They shook their heads and sighed, but there was nothing they could do. They still wanted to continue drinking.

Ye Yan didn't care much about the banquet, so he casually observed the development of the situation while sipping the wine.

Although the Lord Dongqu felt sorry for this result, but at the same time he had another plan in his heart. If it can be achieved, it will be a good harvest for this trip! Therefore, he stood up and said to Xuan Qianyi, "Your Majesty, I have come all the way from here. But you got such a result, should you apologize?"

Xuan Qianyi's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Since that's the case, why don't the lord ask for it?"

Lord Dongqu was waiting for these words, the greedy look in his eyes flashed away and he laughed a few times, "I saw Princess Qionghua dance as a celestial being, and I am very envious, can your majesty betroth the princess to you?" Me? I am begging for marriage from thousands of miles away, and if I get Her Highness the Princess as my wife, it will be a beautiful thing!"

Gu Wanyue was stunned for a moment, never thought that the Lord Dongqu would have such a request!

Ye Yan held the wine glass in his hand, and the veins on the back of his well-articulated hand were throbbing. His pair of phoenix eyes were like an abyss of mist, and the dark tide surged, and the aura on his body became more and more venomous.

Xuan Qianyi's shrewd eyes stared straight at the Lord Dongqu with a forceful aura!
The whole banquet was instantly silent because of the words of King Dongqu!

broken!Gu Wanyue sighed secretly, and secretly looked at Ye Yan with worried eyes, seeing that his dark and deep eyes were full of anger at this moment, she quickly shook her head and stopped his movements.

Ye Yan frowned, although she didn't know what Gu Wanyue would do to deal with it, but out of trust in her, An Nai suppressed her emotions and waited quietly.

Seeing that he understood what she meant, Gu Wanyue nodded, then looked away, her eyes fell on the Lord Dongqu, and she sneered in her heart, she really didn't expect that he would call her attention so blatantly, However, how could he be slaughtered by others?
"You are wishful thinking!" However, at this moment, a lonely voice sounded, and Qingzhi with a stern face came out from among the guards.

Everyone followed the reputation.

The Lord Dongqu didn't expect that someone would come out to oppose him, and he also looked at Qingzhi curiously. When his gaze was fixed on Qingzhi's face, his eyes gradually narrowed, "Is it you?"

"It's me!" Qingzhi's voice was dull, and he looked at the Lord Dongqu with a pair of cold eyes, and the overwhelming anger in his heart was firmly suppressed!
The Lord Dongqu also restrained his expression, his stern eyes became more and more cold, "You are not dead yet."

"I'm not dead, are you disappointed?" Qing Zhi sneered, with a wicked smile on his face for the first time.

"Your life and death don't make any difference to me." The Lord Dongqu said disdainfully, his eyes moved away from Qingzhi.

"Hmph." Qing Zhi snorted coldly, there are important things to do right now, Wan Yue must never marry such an insidious and cunning person!Therefore, my own affairs can be resolved in private, and there is no need for everyone to know about it.

This time, if it wasn't for the fact that this matter was not a trivial matter, I would have to be fully prepared before appearing in front of Lord Dongqu, but right now I didn't give myself extra time, so I had to reveal my identity in advance.

Qing Zhi bowed his hands to Xuan Qianyi, "Your Majesty, this matter is related to Princess Qionghua's lifelong happiness, you must not make a hasty decision, think twice!"

Xuan Qianyi's face remained unchanged, she looked at the two people who were fighting each other, she was silent, no one could guess her thoughts.

Gu Wanyue shook the wine glass in her hand, and after the initial astonishment, she also regained her composure at this time, however, the appearance of Qingzhi and the reflection of King Dongqu made her realize that she had never really understood him before!The dialogue between Qingzhi and the Lord Dongqu obviously had hidden secrets, but she believed that Qingzhi would give herself an explanation.

"Sister, do you believe that I won't harm you?" Xuan Qianyi's lips moved beside him, asking with only two voices.

Gu Wanyue put the wine glass to her lips to cover it up, her eyes did not move, "Sister Qianyi just do it, Wanyue believes in you."

When Xuan Qianyi heard the answer, his eyes flashed brightly. It is a blessing to have a sister who believes in him unconditionally in his life. He said silently in his heart, sister, don't worry, my sister will not put you in danger!

Xuan Qianyi didn't notice the interaction between Gu Wanyue and Ye Yan just now, and at this moment, she did not forget to cast a reassuring look at the silent Ye Yan at the side, implying that he should be safe and don't be impatient.

Ye Yan's eyes glowed with a gnawing luster, and after receiving Xuan Qianyi's hint, he did not move for the time being, but he was ready to take Gu Wanyue away at any time, even if Ah Wan didn't allow him to intervene, how could his woman be caught Others covet!
"Cough." Xuan Qianyi coughed lightly, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the banquet.

"Master Dongqu, this matter is related to Princess Qionghua's lifelong happiness. I can't hastily make a decision on her behalf. Everything must be done after asking Princess Qionghua's wishes, so let's discuss this matter later."

The Lord Dongqu didn't want to be postponed like this. He was about to say that Princess Qionghua was at the banquet, so he could ask her what she wanted now. Whether she was willing or not, he had a way to get her to agree, but he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye. At this time, Gu Wanyue's cheeks were rosy, she held her forehead with one hand, and she was breathing evenly. She was unexpectedly drunk and fell asleep.

I had no choice but to swallow a sentence, and said coldly: "In this case, let's give it a day, and I want a clear answer tomorrow."
