As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

Duan Zan wanted to lower his head under the table, but He Yue noticed him early on.

It was impossible not to notice it, He Yue could clearly sense Ning Rushong's strange and cold emotions.

There was a surge of indifference and cruelty, which made He Yue feel that if Ning Rushong had not had some concerns, Duan Zan would definitely not be able to hide safely under his nose.

He Yue knocked the palm of his hand, feeling a sense of ridiculousness and absurdity in his heart.

In the past, she was used to not being able to tell what kind of emotions Ning Rushong was feeling. He was in a high position, never showed his emotions, and would not tolerate any speculation from others. Sometimes he was even so silent that it was frightening.

Later in time, Ning Rushong put on the mask of gentleness and kindness again. He once praised her excellent acting skills half sarcastically and half bitterly, which coaxed him to forgive her and let her go again and again.

But in fact, Ning Rushong's acting skills are truly amazing. He is so warm and real in front of her, and it becomes more and more real as time goes on. Now the boundary between truth and falsehood has long been blurred.

"Chi Jue." He Yue wanted to get rid of this overly cold mood and called him softly.

Ning Rusong calmed down and looked at her, then said slowly, "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

The emperor and empress sat very close to each other in the hazy spring day. Ning Rushong lowered his head and listened carefully to He Yue's words, his eyes calm and comfortable.

Their profiles were almost touching, and He Yue's face turned a little red under the watchful eyes of everyone. She glanced at the people below and moved her body to the side with a little embarrassment to create some space.

"Today, young ladies and young men from various families will perform. Chi Jue, do you have any favorites?" He Yue changed the subject.

Except for a few people sitting below, most of them had never seen the Queen's true face. Ever since they paid their respects and took their seats, their gazes had been lingering between the Queen and His Majesty.

In the eyes of your father's generation, your Majesty is an autocratic emperor who looks down on the country with unpredictable power. But in front of the Empress, he seems like just a gentle husband.

Hold the Jue! Everyone's heart was beating fast. Some wanted to drink a glass of wine to calm down, but the emperor and the empress did not drink, so they did not dare to move.

I must go back and brag to my father and mother that they know your Majesty’s calligraphy!

Not to mention others, even Duan Zan wanted to look up and observe quietly to see if the Queen was doing well.

He couldn't bear the itch in his heart, so he swallowed, raised his eyes quickly to take a look, and then quickly lowered them again.

Thinking about the scene I saw, the guilt that I had buried a year ago also dissipated. His Majesty and His Majesty looked so harmonious!

Ning Rusong turned his head and said slowly, "The eldest daughter of the Lin family, the eldest daughter of the Fang family, and the fourth son of the He family."

He had no impression of any of them. It was just that Elder Lin and Elder Fang mentioned it to Ning Rushong once in private, and King Nan asked him to take care of it in a casual manner.

The three people mentioned stood up and saluted excitedly, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

Miss Lin and Miss Fang have fresh and pretty faces, and their manners are generous and dignified. Miss Fang, in particular, is extremely beautiful and charming. She wears a jasper-colored brocade skirt with cloud and wild goose patterns, and her hair is dotted with round pearls, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into it.

He Yue recalled their ages written in the booklet, both were seventeen years old, the age of budding flowers, "I've heard that Miss Lin and Miss Fang are both famous talented women, but I never thought they were also outstanding in appearance."

Ning Rushong never deliberately avoided her when handling government affairs. Old Lin and Old Fang were both important officials in the court. No wonder Ning Rushong would mention them specifically. As for Mr. He, his surname already says it all.

He Yue praised their talents before their looks, which praised them even more and made the two girls very happy.

“Sister Fang and I are insignificant in front of the Empress. Only after meeting her today did I realize that there is such a dignified person as the Empress in the world. You are like the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the proud peony among flowers!” Miss Lin had a charming smile and spoke nicely without being overly flattering.

It should have been an overly flattering and exaggerated remark, but the people present found it surprisingly appropriate.

"They are all young and fresh, and their words are just pleasant." He Yue chuckled, not quite agreeing, and raised her hand to ask them to sit down.

The Queen's tone of voice was full of elders, which made everyone come to their senses. Yes, the Queen was already twenty-seven years old, two years older than His Majesty.

Miss Fang, who always outshined others, looked up at the Empress and clenched the handkerchief in her hand! The Empress's beauty was beyond compare, and the phoenix hairpin was shining, with the tassels hanging down reflecting her clear and beautiful eyebrows.

Mr. He Si on the other side also sat down. He looked a little sullen and didn't say a word. Yongshan saw it and became more certain of his own thoughts. It was better to be honest and dull.

…………

After admiring the flowers and giving orders, it was finally time for everyone to perform.

There were very few women from aristocratic families in the Dayun Dynasty who practiced dancing. Even if there were, it was only for private enjoyment in the boudoir, so the performances they performed were basically painting and writing, and the rest were playing the musical instrument.

There was one young man in the world who performed a sword dance. He was the fourth young master He, who looked like a scholar. His performance was also amazing.

Although He Yue was born elegant, her appreciation ability was average, which could be seen from the necklace hanging around Ning Rushong's waist. By the way, he also wore the "Thin Bamboo" waist belt he had worn two years ago today. The waist belt did not have much wear and tear, which showed how much he cherished it.

As a result, everyone received very good reviews and made no mistakes.

When the banquet reached the second half, Ning Rushong saw that they had almost gotten used to each other, so he took He Yue and left.

I finally got a day of free time, so I don't want to waste it on this bunch of irrelevant people.
