Quick Wear: The host is good at flirting, and the cold beauty's soul floats
Chapter 45 The Tyrant's Favor 16
Not long after Lan Ci entered the palace, a palace maid told him that Wei Jingyan was looking for him.
Lan Ci didn't know that palace maid, but with so many palace maids in the palace, it was normal that he didn't know this one.
Lan Wenrong and the others were going to the palace to hold a family banquet, but he didn't want to go and sit there so early. He and Wei Jingyan had a bad breakup the day before yesterday. Maybe Wei Jingyan came to him just to apologize to him.
So Lan Ci and Lan Wenrong said that they would go to see Wei Jingyan and then go to the family dinner with Wei Jingyan later.
Lan Ci quickly left with the palace maid. Lan Wenrong and Jiang Qing had no time to stop her and could only hope in their hearts that Lan Ci would not get into trouble.
Lan Ci kept following the palace maid, and the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. The surroundings were so desolate that it didn't seem like a palace. When he turned a corner, he lost the palace maid.
Just when he was anxiously looking for the palace maid, he heard Wei Jingyan's voice.
He followed the sound and walked over stealthily, and saw Wei Jingyan and Lan Yun standing opposite each other.
Lan Yun's clothes were as red as fire, while Wei Jingyan's clothes were a more sober dark blue. Lan Ci felt it was extremely dazzling to see the two of them standing together.
Just then, he heard Wei Jingyan ask Lan Yun, "Don't you like me?" At this moment, Lan Ci thought that Wei Jingyan was the one who was flirting with Lan Yun.
Wei Jingyan knew that he didn't like Lan Yun, and he also said that there was nothing going on between him and Lan Yun. Now he saw with his own eyes that the two of them were having a secret meeting in the palace, and heard Wei Jingyan say that, he couldn't bear it at all and shouted out loud.
"What are you doing?"
When Wei Jingyan heard Lan Ci's voice, he thought it was an illusion, until Lan Ci ran in front of him and he realized it was real.
Wei Jingyan's guards and Lvliu also ran over at this time, but they didn't have time to discover Lan Ci.
Lan Yun saw that Lan Ci was not panicked at all, and said calmly: "We have nothing, don't misunderstand."
If Lan Yun said nothing, Lan Ci would think he was guilty.
But after Lan Yun said this, he felt that explanation was a cover-up, and cover-up was the truth.
"Speak clearly." Lan Ci took two steps forward and wanted to question Lan Yun, but Wei Jingyan held her waist with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
Wei Jingyan used to think that Lan Ci's voice was clean and pure, as pleasant as stringed instruments, but today it felt extremely harsh.
Although this is a long-abandoned palace, Lan Ci's shouting can easily attract the attention of patrolling soldiers.
Wei Jingyan and Lan Yun hurriedly said, "We'll talk to you later," and then dragged Lan Ci away.
365: [The protagonist's luck has dissipated by 15%.]
Before attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers, Lan Yun took Lvliu away.
When passing by the imperial study, Lan Yun asked Lvliu to go back first, and he went straight into the imperial study. Wei Jingze was making tea in the imperial study and waiting for Lan Yun to come back.
As Lan Yun entered the study, Wei Jingze raised his eyelids and asked, "Have you met my brother?"
Wei Jingze regretted what he said as soon as he said it. It sounded sour, but he did feel uncomfortable.
Lan Yun also heard it. He walked to Wei Jingze, picked him up, sat on the chair, and let Wei Jingze sit on his lap.
Wei Jingze felt a little uncomfortable, but when he thought that the person holding him was Lan Yun, he found a comfortable position and leaned back.
Lan Yun lowered his head and kissed Wei Jingze on the forehead, saying, "It's over. If nothing unexpected happens, he and Lan Ci will have another fight."
Yesterday, Lvliu had already informed Lan Yun in advance that she would meet Wei Jingyan today, so Lan Yun was not being kind when he asked Wei Jingze for permission to let his family members enter the palace yesterday morning.
Wasn't Wei Jingyan planning to ask Wei Jingze for permission to marry Lan Ci tonight? Firstly, he wanted to dispel Wei Jingze's suspicions about him by marrying a man, secondly, it would make the Minister of Revenue more loyal to him, and thirdly, he did have some feelings for Lan Ci, so he could kill three birds with one stone.
Lan Yun's actions today were to alienate the relationship between Lan Ci and Wei Jingyan, to facilitate the mission, and at the same time to sow discord between Wei Jingyan and the Minister of Revenue.
Wei Jingze felt relieved after listening to Lan Yun's report.
The two hugged each other for a while until the dinner time came, and then they went through the imperial study.
The weather was cold, so the family dinner was held indoors.
When Wei Jingze and Lan Yun arrived, everyone had already found a seat and sat down. When they saw them, they all stood up and saluted.
The late emperor had few children, four princes and one princess. The third prince died of illness at the age of ten, and the others died during pregnancy. The princess is already married and did not enter the palace today.
Concubine Rong Qi Rong is now the highest-ranking woman in the palace, sitting to the lower left of Wei Jingze, followed by Lan Yun, then Concubine Yi Lv Man, the other two concubines, two ladies-in-waiting, and Zhaoyi Jiang and Jiang Qinxue.
On the other side are Wei Jingxu, Ji Wan, Wei Jingyan, and Lan Wenrong's family.
Lan Yun came to this world and met Lan Wenrong and Lan Xun for the first time.
Lan Wenrong has a handsome appearance. Although he is almost fifty years old, he still has the charm of his youth.
Lan Xun was the top scorer in the last imperial examination. He was handsome and talented in writing. He was now serving in the court. Otherwise, with Lin Huanyi's personality, she would have been bullied in the Lan family even though she was a concubine.
Wei Jingze took Lan Yun's hand and sat in the main seat.
Its seat is wide enough for two people to sit.
Wei Jingze's behavior shocked everyone present, but no one dared to say anything.
Qi Rong felt very sad. She used to think that being the only one favored by Wei Jingze was already considered good enough, but now it seemed like it was nothing at all.
The two servants and concubines could only envy her. Jiang Qinxue was so jealous that sparks were about to come out of her eyes, and her eyes were full of viciousness when she looked at Lan Yun.
Wei Jingze and Lan Yun saw everyone's behavior clearly, and Wei Jingze immediately asked someone to take Jiang Qinxue away.
Looking at Lan Yun with such vicious eyes, staying here would only be an eyesore.
With Jiang Qinxue’s previous experience as a lesson, others didn’t dare to look at her rashly.
Seeing that everyone was behaving well, Wei Jingze said, "Please sit down. Today is a family dinner, so please be more casual."
As Wei Jingze spoke, Lan Yun looked at Lan Ci with a smile on his face, and Lan Ci shuddered immediately.
In his eyes, Lan Yun was a smiling tiger. His lips had already subsided in swelling, but when he saw Lan Yun, his lips still seemed to hurt.
Just now, because he was only concerned about being angry with Wei Jingyan, he didn't care that much about Lan Yun. Now, when Lan Yun glanced at him lightly, he felt like a needle pricked him when he sat back in his seat. The aroma of the delicious food in front of him was fragrant, but it could not arouse Lan Ci's appetite.
Lan Yun felt relieved when he saw Lan Ci was upset.
In the past, Lan Ci often embarrassed the original owner in front of outsiders. He hadn't done anything yet, so Lan Ci couldn't stand it?
As the family dinner progressed, musicians played piano and flute, and dozens of dancers danced to the beat. Their graceful figures and fluttering clothes showed their unparalleled professionalism.
Lan Yun tried her best to pick up food for Wei Jingze. No matter what Lan Yun picked up, Wei Jingze ate it all. It was hard to tell whether Wei Jingze ate those dishes because he liked them or because he doted on Lan Yun.
