Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 154 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (33)
It would have been fine if the Prime Minister's wife didn't say anything, but as soon as she opened her mouth she attracted Xiao Heng's attention.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman snuggling up to the Prime Minister's wife with her head slightly lowered. Just from the profile of her face and her exposed snow-white neck, she was so attractive that one could not take his eyes off her.
Xie Changling was not here. This was the place for meeting female guests, and he had long been led away by his husband.
If he were here and saw someone looking at his wife with such rude eyes, he would definitely be furious and take Song Lingxi away.
But at the moment, only the Prime Minister's wife was protecting Song Lingxi. Although she felt a little offended by Xiao Heng's eyes, she still took into consideration Her Royal Highness the Princess and did not dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, the princess knew what kind of person her son was. If it was someone else, she would have indulged him, but not this one. This was her gift to the emperor...
"Heng'er, go check on your father and see if he needs any help. Mother is here."
Xiao Heng never saw Song Lingxi's face clearly, but it was not appropriate to tease her openly in public. After all, those present were all wives and daughters of officials.
So he also retracted his gaze, pretending that he was distracted, paused for a moment, and then answered in a panic: "Yes, mother."
Xiao Heng is only twenty years old, at the age of youthful and handsome appearance. Although his face is not as good as Xie Changling's, he has inherited the good looks of the prince consort and the eldest princess.
Therefore, when he bowed, many young ladies from official families still fell in love with him secretly. Even if they wanted to look at him, they would hide behind their mothers to take a few more glances at him.
After he left, the eldest princess personally led them to the main hall. Along the way, they saw all kinds of precious flowers, most of which they had never seen before. They were indeed rare treasures.
Hearing their repeated exclamations of amazement, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel a little proud. When she arrived at the banquet, she made them marvel even more.
The sound of flowing water, the chirping of birds and the buzzing of cicadas, and the lush green grass create a unique artistic conception.
Because men and women sat separately, Song Lingxi and Xie Changling could not see each other, but the magical thing was that Song Lingxi could recognize Xie Changling's voice among the many conversations.
This made Song Lingxi feel much more relieved, and she picked up a glass of wine floating on the lotus leaf and drank it slowly.
Listening to other people's conversations, Song Lingxi's cheeks unconsciously turned a little red, her eyes were sparkling, and she could make anyone blush no matter who she looked at.
As for the vague gazes coming from all around, some were probing, some were curious, some were fond of, and some were jealous, but Song Lingxi ignored them all.
Everyone watched her drinking one cup after another. Some wanted to come forward to chat with her, but were scared away by her attitude. This...
They couldn't drink much, and might even be disliked if they went up to her. Looking at Song Lingxi's enchanting little face, they could only look at her from afar and sigh in despair.
The Prime Minister's wife was busy building relationships with other ladies, and thinking that Song Lingxi was right by her side, she didn't care too much.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Song Lingxi with a red face. There were more than a dozen glasses of wine next to her fair little hands. Her eyes were sparkling and she looked at everyone so obediently.
The Prime Minister's wife was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If she continued drinking, she would definitely get drunk. When she was about to snatch the wine cup from her hand, she suddenly heard a message from outside.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
Not only her, but everyone was also shocked. They hadn't heard that the emperor was coming. This...
Everyone stood up, turned around and walked to the emperor, and knelt down in the direction of the emperor: "Your Highness."
Failure to personally receive the emperor was a serious crime, so both men and women came to the door and lined the aisles to greet him.
The eldest princess went to greet him very early. She knew that the emperor was coming, so she sent people to keep an eye out. When she got the news, she rushed over in advance.
The eldest princess was accompanying Emperor Xiao Jin. From her direction, she could almost immediately see Song Lingxi in the crowd.
Song Lingxi was dragged over by the Prime Minister's wife. She looked confused, and before she could put down her empty wine glass, she was dragged over by the Prime Minister's wife.
The earrings were still dangling on her cheeks. Fortunately, she was not wearing a hairpin today, otherwise, they would have swayed left and right, making people think she was indecent.
The eldest princess looked at Xiao Jin, and indeed saw that his eyes were fixed on Song Lingxi. Even though she lowered her head, her temperament was particularly conspicuous.
Seeing this, the princess knew it was done. The next step was to give her the medicine and wait until the rice was cooked...
"No gift."
Xiao Jin's voice was smooth and magnetic, much gentler than usual, making people inexplicably curious about him.
After hearing the voice, Song Lingxi stood up and looked up at the other person, but she looked straight into his eyes.
Those ink-black eyes seemed to absorb her entire soul, making her feel as if she was floating in the air and not knowing what time it was, as if her soul had returned to her hometown.
Xiao Jin was also stunned. He had never seen such a good-looking person. No, not just good-looking, but also someone who matched him perfectly.
The girl's ignorant and curious eyes were like the clear eyes of a deer. When they looked at each other, he felt that his heart, which had been silent for a thousand years, was gently moved.
Because Song Lingxi was a little drunk, she didn't realize that looking directly at the emperor was disrespectful. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, curious about why the man's gaze was so fiery.
In Xiao Jin's field of vision, he saw a faint pink color on the girl's fair and snowy cheeks, like the finest top-grade oriental pearls, with a lustrous luster that made people want to play with them.
The girl's eyes met his, but she did not timidly look away. Instead, she looked at him boldly. He did not feel offended, and even felt a strong sense of joy rising secretly in his heart.
The eldest princess naturally also saw the two people looking at each other. Just imagine, so many people lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the emperor, but there was only one brave little girl who kept staring at the emperor.
The eldest princess felt a little suffocated. She looked at the girl's misty hair and blushing face and wanted to hold her forehead. She didn't expect that Song Lingxi was drunk.
Fearing that Song Lingxi might anger the emperor, the princess secretly looked at Xiao Jin's face, but strangely found that her emperor seemed to be in a good mood?
The eldest princess was a little stunned. She thought that things had gone wrong. After all, Xiao Jin hated people who were rude the most, and her Heng'er had received no idea how many times he had been spanked for this.
did not expect……
The princess narrowed her eyes when she thought of this, and leaned close to Xiao Jin's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, should we go in and have the banquet?"
Xiao Jin did not respond, but continued to stare at Song Lingxi, his gaze moving from her eyes, nose, to her red lips that were glistening with water.
His eyes were so fiery that they seemed to burn people, which made Song Lingxi a little afraid. She was drunk and could not stand steadily, so she casually grabbed the sleeve of the Prime Minister's wife.
Seeing that her body was unstable, Xiao Jin took a step forward anxiously, and only took it back when he saw Song Lingxi stood firm again.
Everyone followed his movements, panicked, and with different thoughts in their minds, they wondered what the Emperor had seen.
Only the eldest princess took it all in. An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with excitement and strangeness.
Xiao Jin retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "I am here to talk to my sister. Don't be shy. Please take a seat."
Everyone waited until he took the main seat before returning to their own seats. There was a screen between men and women, but there was nothing between the upper seats.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Jin sat down, he could see Song Lingxi directly. He couldn't take his eyes off her at all, and his original intention to see Xie Changling faded.
When the prince consort toasted him, Xiao Jin just nodded without even picking up the wine glass, thus blocking some people's desire to toast him.
Song Lingxi ignored this episode. She was pulled back to her seat by the Prime Minister's wife. She felt drunk and her head was nodding. Her body softened and she was about to fall over.
This frightened the prime minister's wife. If Song Lingxi was really thrown to the ground, it would be considered a breach of etiquette in front of the emperor, and the emperor would punish her for disrespect...
The Prime Minister's wife signaled to the maid to support her, and Song Lingxi leaned on her body, barely maintaining a sitting posture, and slowly closed her eyes.
Many people saw this scene. After all, Song Lingxi's appearance was really eye-catching. Most people were well-intentioned and would only smile knowingly when they saw this scene.
Only a few people were extremely jealous of Song Lingxi's appearance, especially Song Lingyu, who had been waiting for her to make a mistake since she sat down, and now she finally caught her mistake.
Song Lingyu bit her lip, her eyes flashing with an unknown light. She picked up the wine glass and was about to stand up to attack Song Lingxi under the pretext of saying auspicious words.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess noticed this and winked at the maid in the princess's mansion behind Song Lingyu, and that person pressed down Song Lingyu's body.
Song Lingyu felt the hand behind her and her body stiffened. She knew that it was the eldest princess's man. She looked up at the eldest princess and saw the warning in her eyes.
The eldest princess's eyes were fierce, warning her not to act rashly. Even though Song Lingyu was unwilling, she had no choice but to give up.
The eldest princess warned her not for Song Lingxi, but to prevent her younger brother from knowing her identity. After all, Song Lingxi was the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This is a marriage granted by the Emperor himself. If he had known about this from the beginning, he would inevitably back off.
The princess gave a few instructions to the maid beside her, and that person walked up to the prime minister's wife and spoke in a low voice.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess saw that your young mistress was drunk, so she specifically ordered me to take her away to rest, so as to avoid her being disrespectful in front of the Emperor and causing Her Royal Highness to be punished by the Emperor."
The Prime Minister's wife hesitated. She didn't want Song Lingxi to leave her sight. If something really went wrong, not only her but also her son Changling would be in trouble.
She was about to refuse, but the maid seemed to know what she was going to say: "Madam, please don't implicate His Highness."
