The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Everyone in the hall looked at the two people holding each other in surprise and uncertainty.

The second prince had a look of surprise on his face, and the princes next to him were also very surprised. They had heard the rumors in the market, but they never thought that the young Marquis Dingyuan was really a doting wife. I have to pick it up on foot too.

The second prince smiled and said: "It seems that Jinglan and his wife have a really good relationship."

It was the first time for the princes to see him like this, and they were amazed. Xie Lang was not like this before getting married!

Even if I go out to eat with them on weekdays, I never go out to greet them.

Xie Langqingjun had a smile on his face.

He hugged her and sat back down, and ordered the waiter to bring the cold dishes. Then he lowered his head and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "She almost embarrassed you in public today. The cause of this is me. I It will make her pay.”

Xue Mingyue glanced sideways at him and said lightly.

He lowered his eyes with a lack of interest, and played with the delicate silver wine glass on the table. The common man was not guilty, but he was guilty of having a treasure.

As long as she is the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife, there will be countless open and covert attacks.

The silver wine glass made her delicate white fingers look even more pleasing to the eye. Xie Lang's eyes paused for a moment, and he suddenly remembered the scene of feeding her medicine two days ago. At that time, the hands were grabbing the hem of his clothes, and the black clothes were Her fingers are beautiful.

He glanced away uncomfortably.

He coughed softly and said: "They are sure that you and I are not in good terms with each other, so they dare to be so unscrupulous. As long as they see our deep love, the rumors will be self-defeating, and no one will dare to bully you anymore." .”

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly: "What does the Marquis mean?"

Xie Lang: "From now on, you and I can be closer to each other outside."

"..."

Are you going to meet someone so soon?

Xue Mingyue only felt funny in her heart. She thought she didn't live long enough to get closer to him. Wouldn't it mean that she would encounter serial assassinations when she went out?

Does the person who gave him the advice really want her to die?

At this moment, the chamberlain's thin voice rang out: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived——"

The noisy chatter in the hall suddenly disappeared in an instant.

In an instant, there was only the rustle of people getting up and adjusting their clothes. Xue Mingyue also stood up and bowed her head to salute respectfully. A bright yellow flashed faintly in front of her eyes, and then she heard the eunuch conveying the news to the ministers.

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor and empress sat at the table, singing and dancing.

The palace maids shuttled around carrying dishes to serve everyone.

Xue Mingyue restrained her eyes and did not look up. After sitting back on the cushion, she stared at the plate of grapes on the table. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught her gaze that had not been moved away for a long time. Xie Lang suddenly realized and peeled a grape for her and handed it to her. Around the mouth.

"..."

Xue Mingyue looked at him in astonishment.

Their seats are right under the emperor's nose, and they can clearly see what he is doing!

"Didn't we just agree to be more intimate outside?"

Seeing her avoidance, Xie Lang's eyes darkened, and he felt a little regretful. He put the grapes on the plate and said with a smile, "I think we can start from today. Madam, what do you think?"

Xue Mingyue only thought that he was sick.

She took a deep breath and said in a cold tone: "I didn't agree."

After saying that, he moved to the side, raised his head and looked ahead.

Emperor Xiao Yuanxing was over fifty years old, with a few strands of white hair already on his temples, and his appearance was even more majestic than in his prime.

There is a two-year age difference between the Queen and him, but they are properly maintained and their grace and elegance are still the same as when they were young. The emperor and empress were a young couple. The empress was injured when she gave birth to the eldest prince and was unable to have any more children. She had only one legitimate son, who was later named the prince.

A few years ago, when the emperor went on an expedition to Suzhou, he was accidentally shot by a stray arrow and lost his life.

As the emperor grew older, the princes below were in their prime.

It was precisely because of this that they all focused on the position of the Ninth Five Supreme Being and expanded their wings in the court one after another. The situation in the court was so undercurrent. Xie Lang was exiled to Northern Xinjiang because he was implicated in the second prince's rebellion.

Thinking of the fate of Dingyuan Hou Mansion three years later, Xue Mingyue suddenly felt a little confused.

She lowered her eyes to hide the complexity in her eyes, and pursed her thin lips slightly. The water in Yongji City was too muddy, and she would make mistakes if she was not careful.

It's better to get out as soon as possible.

After the song and dance, the second prince stood up first and raised a glass to congratulate His Majesty on the prosperous Spring and Autumn Period. The other princes followed closely behind, not to be outdone. The dinner suddenly became lively, and the ministers also raised their glasses one after another, without even using the same words of congratulations. of.

"This is a mooncake stuffed with red bean paste. Do you want to try it?"

Suddenly, a small white porcelain plate appeared in front of her.

Xue Mingyue paused slightly, raised her eyes, and accidentally bumped into Xie Lang's eyes.

Xie Lang pushed the plate towards her with his fingers and said with a smile: "This year, the Queen ordered the imperial kitchen to come up with many novel mooncakes, which also have peony fillings and mung bean fillings. They all taste pretty good."

Xue Mingyue glanced at the various mooncakes cut into small pieces on the plate.

"..." Her face was filled with gratitude and her tone was distant: "Oh, thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your kindness, but what I like to eat is five-nut mooncakes."

Xie Lang was stunned for a moment, a look of regret flashed across his narrow phoenix eyes.

He immediately took away the plate of mooncakes and put Wuren's in front of her. He looked seriously and said, "I'm sorry, I will remember it from now on."

Xue Mingyue was just about to say that she didn't care, when a sweet voice suddenly sounded from the banquet.

"Father, Xiaojiu has specially prepared a sword dance for you to celebrate the festival!"

The Ninth Princess stood up and walked to the middle of the hall holding her sword.

The goose-yellow clothes made her look even more beautiful and beautiful.

The emperor smiled and said: "Yes."

The officials who were pushing the lamps stopped and looked at the Ninth Princess who was dancing in the palace. The hilt of the sword was wrapped with red silk and flew in the air with her movements. The dance was graceful and pleasing to the eye.

The Ninth Princess was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she broke into the back hall, and there was no jade pendant around her waist.

The red silk sword dance ended, and there was a sudden burst of praise in the hall.

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, curled up her fingers on her side, and glanced back vaguely, thinking that someone would soon mention the loss of the Ninth Princess's jade pendant, and use this to start an attack.

Her mood, which had been dull for a long time, improved visibly at this moment.

The emperor laughed loudly: "My Xiaojiu dance skills are becoming more and more exquisite, and I am very happy. Don't you think so, Queen?"

"The Ninth Princess dances so well, Your Majesty, don't forget to reward her." The queen looked at him with a smile.

"That's natural."

The Ninth Princess said happily: "Thank you very much, Father!"

She saluted happily and couldn't help turning her head to look at Xie Lang, only to see him lowering his head and peeling the grapes attentively. He didn't even pay her any attention. After peeling, he put them on the plate of the person next to him. .

The Ninth Princess's face instantly turned ugly, and she glared at Xue Mingyue fiercely.

He was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and walked to the stage, standing next to the queen.

Xue Mingyue: "..."
