Chapter 1107: Prince Li's Extra Proposal
Emperor Murong Zheng, who had been sitting quietly, finally raised his hand to gently move the cup in front of him. The tea had been steeped for a little too long and the water was a little brown. After all, he did not pick up the tea cup, but turned to look into Concubine Dong Guifei's eyes. , an extra touch of scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, Yan'er is my only flesh and blood. I am worried about him." Although Concubine Dong was kneeling on the ground, she still felt the emperor's eyes. She was startled and continued to muster the courage to speak.
The emperor still didn't speak, but suddenly stretched out his hand with an invitation. Concubine Dong Guifei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She held the emperor's hand and stood up slowly, sat beside the emperor, and said with some joy: "Your Majesty, this is your invitation." Did you agree to be my concubine?"
"Concubine Dong, you have gone too far." The emperor's words caused the joy on Concubine Dong's face to freeze instantly. She didn't even dare to look into the emperor's eyes, and knelt on the ground in panic.
She wanted to explain that she was just being motherly, but she wasn't sure whether the emperor would believe it.
"Don't take Feifeng Palace's advice from now on, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you." The emperor stood up and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly spoke, his words were clanking, which made Concubine Dong inexplicably frightened.
Just thinking about her excellent son, she tried hard to hide the panic in her heart and stood up slowly. The panic on her face was gone, but her heart became more determined. She remembered the emperor's words, he said that he could not protect her. It’s not that there is no guarantee.
As long as the emperor is willing to protect himself, she will not be defeated. As long as you win, you will be invincible.
She is now looking forward to the palace banquet in the evening. As long as she can help Princess Bei'an enter the palace, she will be even more powerful. By then...
Thinking of the beautiful scenery in the future, Concubine Dong's face lit up with excitement. She had been humble and cautious for so many years just for that day to come.
There was still an hour left before the palace banquet, and Concubine Dong sent someone to invite the emperor. Naturally, she was looking forward to the emperor attending the feast for the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
But she was still disappointed after all. The emperor refused and he still wanted to be with the queen.
Concubine Dong smiled and asked the messenger to go down, but her smiling face froze, and her eyes were misty and full of loss.
Ah Man, who had been looking forward to the palace banquet since the rumors spread, was the last to arrive at the banquet. She was wearing a maid's clothes. When she walked into the hall, the place was already filled with wine and singing and dancing.
The queen sitting on the left hand side of the Emperor Murong Zheng is dignified and majestic, with a look of kindness in her eyes. For example, Concubine Dong Guifei, sitting on the right hand side of the Emperor, is bright and enchanting, with spring in her face and eyes, and her hands and feet are full of love.
"Your Majesty, look at Princess Bei'an, her eyes have never left your side. We haven't had a newcomer enter the palace for many years. Why don't you, Your Majesty, make an exception this year?" Concubine Dong Guifei's eyes were as charming as silk and her voice was soft. After finishing speaking, He did not forget to raise his hand and bring the peeled grapes to the emperor's mouth.
"My beloved concubine said yesterday that she hopes I can accompany you every day." Emperor Murong Zheng glanced at Concubine Dong Gui and said.
"I am also thinking about the emperor. The emperor is in his prime, I..." Concubine Dong lowered her head and smiled shyly after finishing her words.
Murong Zheng did not look at her, but moved his gaze in the direction of the Bei'an envoy. Princess Jinxiu, who was praised highly by Concubine Dong, was sitting on the seat, looking at her secretly with a bit of shyness, with an admiring look in her eyes. The girl's tender white fingers gently plucked the strings in her heart.
