If you count carefully, the prince of the island country and others have been in Beijing for more than two months. Their return date is imminent, and the emperor held a farewell banquet to welcome them.

At the gate of the palace, just after getting off the carriage, Chu Wanyu noticed that there were many people in the dark. She frowned and lowered her voice, "Your Highness, don't worry about it for a while, leave it to me!"

Xiao Lijing raised the corner of his mouth, "Nothing!"

The two of them looked calm as they walked into the palace.

Just as they walked a certain distance, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

Chu Wanyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she saw a hidden weapon flying towards her. She wanted to dodge, but the weapon was too fast.

She tilted her body and waited for the hidden weapon to pierce her arm.

At this moment, Xiao Lijing threw the jade pendant in his hand and knocked down the hidden weapon in the air.

"Wow!"

Chu Wanyu was stunned, her eyes wide open, "Your Highness, this trick..."

Seeing the figure in the dark quickly leaving, she frowned slightly, "The prince saved me from physical pain, but he also caused me a lot of trouble!"

If I am not mistaken, the figure in the dark will definitely go and report to the emperor.

If you expose the facts that can be seen by your eyes too early, you will definitely get into trouble.

Xiao Lijing curled his lips, "Princess, you are concerned about me!"

"Of course!" Chu Wanyu said with a smile, "We are family. When will the prince teach me the secrets of martial arts?"

Ignore the last sentence.

The three words "family" lingered in his mind. Xiao Lijing held his little hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you!"

Inside the palace, there was singing and dancing, and beautiful women and fine wine.

Feeling the many inquiring glances, Chu Wanyu sat aside bored, "Hey, when can we have some new things to do at the banquet?"

"If you are bored, you can go out!" Xiao Lijing reminded at the right time.

"forget it!"

Chu Wanyu woke up early in the morning and couldn't help yawning.

Noticing the Empress Dowager's gaze, she understood and quickly picked up a bunch of grapes and passed it to Xiao Lijing's mouth, "Try it, it's very sweet!"

Xiao Lijing sat upright, lowered his eyes, looked at the juice-covered fingers, his throat rolled, and he gently opened his mouth.

As the grapes enter your mouth, an unprecedented sweetness spreads in your mouth.

Catching the Empress Dowager's satisfied look from the corner of her eye, Chu Wanyu worked even harder, serving like a maid, pouring tea and peeling fruit, and serving extremely attentively.

The emperor beside the empress dowager swept his majestic gaze over and finally landed on Xiao Lijing.

As he talked about his subordinates' report, his fingers unconsciously stroked the jade pendant.

Can a blind man always hit the target?

A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. At this moment, the hairpin on the dancing girl's head flew out and landed at Xiao Lijing's feet.

"oops!"

The charming voice makes people feel itchy.

The dancer stopped and walked gracefully to Xiao Lijing's side.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Your Highness. Please forgive me!" She bent down, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin. When she picked up the hairpin, the green gauze on her body accidentally fell off, revealing her fair skin.

"Ah!" The dancer exclaimed, her beautiful eyes, as charming as silk, staring straight at Xiao Lijing.

"Your Highness is so lucky! A beauty has come to you!"

"Yes, it's a pity that the prince can't see, otherwise he would be able to see a glimpse of spring!"

Many people present looked at Xiao Lijing and couldn't help but talk about it.

The focus of discussion.

Xiao Lijing sat upright, his eyes empty and lifeless, his expression expressionless.

Chu Wanyu sat aside, carefully observing the expressions of the people around her, and understood in her heart that these were all arranged by the emperor to test Xiao Lijing's eyes.

Her heart was pounding and she was very nervous. She used her wide sleeves to hold Xiao Lijing's hand.

It is better to be still than to move.

Too many words are wrong.

Instead of speaking, it is better to wait quietly.

She glared at the dancer opposite her in a jealous manner, "Quickly step back and don't disturb my prince!"

"Princess! I dare not!"

The dancer slowly stood up, as if she was tripped by someone, and fell towards Xiao Lijing.

And, in the blink of an eye, he sprinkled a pinch of powder into Xiao Lijing's wine glass.

Chu Wanyu narrowed her eyes and watched all of this. She quickly stood up and kicked the dancer to the ground.

"How dare you! You think you can get your hands on my prince? All the dirty and smelly people are trying to get close to him. Get out of here now, or I will beat you to death right now!"

"Your Majesty..."

The dancer fell to the ground, tears in her eyes, biting her lower lip gently, looking very touching.

"Who are you winking at? My prince can't see it! You bitch!" Chu Wanyu grabbed the wine glass in front of Xiao Lijing and threw it at him.

I saw the poisoned wine spilled all over the floor.

The dancer's pupils suddenly shrank and she subconsciously looked at the emperor.

Chu Wanyu noticed his movements and became even angrier. "Get out of here, you shameless vixen!"

"Okay, don't disturb the prince!" The emperor spoke from a high position, and the dancer ran away quickly as if she had been pardoned.

The interlude ended, the sound of wind instruments started, and everyone toasted each other.

A dandy young man came over, holding a glass of wine. "Your Majesty, I have long heard of your great name. Although you cannot go to the battlefield right now, please accept my respect!"
