Allure of the World

Lan Ling realized that she was late, she glanced at it, the seat next to the emperor was empty, it should be reserved for herself.

Mingguang Hall was full of people, and no one paid attention to her.

She twitched her waist and just wanted to sneak past from behind.

"The Empress is here!" Yang Shu sang in a vigorous voice.

In addition to the emperor, everyone stood up and saluted, "Happy Empress!"

At this moment, all eyes are on her.

Lan Ling bent over and stood there, suddenly realizing that they all seemed to be salute me!

She has always tried to hide herself as if she doesn't exist in public. She doesn't want to be noticed.

She didn't mean to be late today. She got up late, and was struggling with whether to come or not. She struggled for a long time, and these days, she obviously felt that she was very lazy.

More importantly, she forgot that she is now queen. She thought that she was still the humble concubine she used to sneak in, and no one would pay attention to her.

Lan Ling’s face was red, it was too embarrassing, would Ling Chen scold him?

She slowly stood up.

The eyes looked at everyone like a deer.

Ling Chen sat there, tilted his head and looked at her, watching her froze there in a panic, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, she was still so useless!

"Queen, don't let everyone be flat? Come and sit!"

Ling Chen couldn't bear it any longer, and ordered her.

Lan Ling saw Ling Chen, and quickly calmed down. She was Lan Ling after all, and she reacted quickly. She immediately put on a graceful and noble smile, stretched out her hands to flatten everyone, and stood up straight. , raised his shoulders, raised his head, slowly walked to Ling Chen's side and sat down.

Ling Chen reached out to hold her hand, helped her sit up, and straightened her crooked hairpin.

Wen Heng had a smile on his face, his hands were tightly clasped together, his fingernails were about to snap off.

Lan Ling, as long as you are here, how can I be happy?

Ling Chen looked at Lan Ling and whispered, "Sit for a while, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

He remembered that when Wen Heng started to get pregnant, he couldn't smell any peculiar smell.

"Well, it's fine, I'll tell you if it's uncomfortable." Lan Ling said and glanced at the tables below, and indeed saw a few strangers.

"Your Majesty, which one is Dou Erqin?" Lan Ling asked Ling Chen softly.

"The first one on the left main table is his sister Dou Wan'er." Ling Chen said in a low voice.

Lan Ling looked at that man with a burly stature, single eyelid, high nose bridge, and a simple and honest face. Although his appearance was not as handsome and heroic as Jiang Rui, he was considered a talent.

The woman next to her has thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep eye sockets, very beautiful.

Lan Ling looked at Ling Shuang sitting there, eating the dishes in front of her with her head down, with a look of indifference.

She wanted to find a chance to ask Jiang Rui what he meant these days, but she never saw him.

Ling Chen was chatting and laughing, and was discussing the wonders of the world with the ministers and Dou Erqin. At this time, Ling Chen was very similar to the way Lan Ling had just met. He had a smile on his face and talked eloquently. He looked unrestrained and unrestrained.

At this time, Dou Erqin suddenly stood up and walked to Ling Shuang, holding a white jade bottle in his hand, "Beautiful princess, this is the holy water and crystal of Moon Lake in Dayue Kingdom. Stone, give it to the princess."

Ling Shuang froze for a moment.

Dou Erqin came to Daxing before, when Ling Shuang was seven or eight years old, she once heard that the Moon Lake in Dayue Kingdom is their holy water, if there is a favorite lover, they will visit the Moon Lake It is their custom to give holy water to their lovers.

Ling Shuang pretended not to understand, reached out and took the white jade bottle and looked at it, "Well, Your Royal Highness, I also have this bottle, which was given to me by my sweetheart."

Dou Erqin's expression froze.

Ling Chen restrained the smile on his face: "That person is already dead, the Seventh Princess doesn't need to mention it again."

Ling Shuang’s face changed.

What she said just now was nonsense, but is the emperor threatening her by saying this? If she doesn't agree to marry, will the imperial brother kill Jiang Rui?

Ling Shuang held holy water in her hand and stared at Ling Chen with a look of horror.

Dou Erdun did not expect that the holy water he sent would make Princess Lingshuang so frightened.

Ling Shuang raised her hand and returned the white bottle to him, Dou Erdun held it in his hand, in a dilemma.

At this time, Dou Wan'er stood up, reached out and took the bottle from Dou Erqin's hand, "Princess Lingshuang, you clearly know that my elder brother gave you this holy water to show you his heart, if you don't If you are willing to say it directly, are all Daxing women so twisted?"

"Yes, I don't want to. I have a crush!" Ling Shuang looked up at her.

Dou Wan'er put the bottle in her pocket, "Brother, since she doesn't want to, why do you force it! This holy water is just loaned to my sister!"

Dou Erqin smiled heartily and returned to his seat.

Dou Wan'er bowed her body and saluted Ling Chen: "Your Majesty, this princess and eldest brother came to Daxing this time for marriage, and now the princess who sees Daxing has no intention of this, it seems that this The task given to us by the second emperor cannot be completed."

Ling Chen looked at her, and then at King Rui, "Daxing sincerely and Dayueguo make good friends, princess, please be patient."

Dou Wan'er walked up to Ling Chen and handed the holy water: "Your Majesty, this princess will give you this holy water!"

Lan Ling's face changed instantly.

Ling Chen paused, raised his eyebrows, reached out and took it with a smile: "There are many good men in Daxing, I will keep this holy water for you, and I will give him the holy water when I find a suitable princess. !"

Ling Chen knew what Dou Waner meant.

He saw that Dou Wan'er helped her brother out of the siege. She was smart and forthright, and dared to speak and act, with the demeanor of Lan Ling.

But he didn't want to marry her. Lan Ling frowned and looked worried, which made him worry.

He wanted to marry Dou Waner to King Rui, but he didn't know what King Rui was thinking, so he wanted to wait until he asked King Rui before making plans.

Lan Ling felt that this matter could not end like this. After all, Ling Shuang was in front of so many people, so that the prince of Dayue Kingdom could not come to the stage, and Dou Waner was also in front of so many people. to the emperor.

I'm really nervous.

After the banquet, Ling Chen did not come to her Wang Kang Palace.

Ling Shuang didn't come either. Later, Xiao Guizi said that Ling Shuang was confined in his palace by the emperor, and no one was allowed to see her.

Lan Ling sighed, she secretly went to Shufang Palace, and seeing the guards at the door, it seemed that Ling Chen was really angry.

She thought of Ling Chen's troubles. In the past, she would have complained about Ling Chen and exchanged her princess' happiness for her stability, but now she doesn't think so.

Individual happiness is negligible compared to the disaster brought by the war between the two countries.

Jiang Rui is an orphan and has no background except for being a member of Tsing Yi Tang. As the emperor, Ling Chen, how could he let the princess marry him.

What's more, Lan Ling didn't know whether Jiang Rui liked the princess or not. She wanted to help Ling Shuang, but she couldn't hurt Jiang Rui.

The princess had rejected Doerqin in front of so many people. Although Doerqin was not angry at the time, how many men could accept being rejected in public? Besides, he's a prince.

Ling Shuang is indeed willful.

Ling Chen has not come over these days. He hadn't even returned to the harem.

In the afternoon of this day, Lan Ling saw Xiao Guizi coming back from the outside with an incredible look on his face.

He was stunned when he saw Lan Ling.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lan Ling asked.

"Niangniang, I heard, I heard that the emperor is going to marry the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom..."

"Who did you hear?" Lan Ling didn't believe it.

Lan Ling did not believe it. But I thought it was true.

At the banquet that day, although Ling Chen rejected Dou Wan'er, Lan Ling felt that the way the princess looked at the emperor was abnormal.
