The female supporting role is crazy about the male lead

Before the hunting activity officially begins, the emperor will first gather everyone together for lunch.

The lunch venue was set up on an open and flat lawn.

Sitting on the top platform from right to left were the Empress, the Emperor, and Empress Dowager Su. The Emperor and Empress were both wearing casual clothes today, keeping a low profile.

There was only a gauze screen standing in front of Empress Dowager Su. Looking from the bottom of the stage up, the figures inside could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely make out two people, one lying and one kneeling.

The two figures overlap and their postures are intimate.

The ministers sitting below naturally saw the trick behind the screen.

It is even clearer that behind the fig leaf are Empress Dowager Su and her male favorite, Master Ji.

A male concubine was actually qualified to sit in the seat above them and receive their worship. Some ministers were unwilling to do so and stepped forward to remonstrate, "Your Majesty, how can a lowly male concubine be qualified to receive our worship?"

Before the emperor could say anything, a burst of "hahaha" came from behind the screen. The woman's laughter was gentle and lingering, with an indescribable meaning.

The younger officials present blushed at the sound of the voice.

"Master Liu, what if I say I am qualified?"

I heard her voice before I saw her, and it was the famous Empress Dowager Su.

Lord Liu was also an upright person. He was not afraid of what he heard and still spoke out, "Your Majesty, I only obey your orders. I am qualified only if your Majesty says so. Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders."

Queen Mother Su sneered at the words, "What a bold thing."

"Someone, take the screen down."

"I want to see if Aji and I are worthy of your kneeling today."

The Empress Dowager Su's voice was stripped of its feigned charm and was filled with ruthlessness.

The screen was slowly lifted up by several people, gradually revealing the scene behind it.

There was a commotion from the audience.

Xia Ran also looked up at the platform.

She seemed to see two vixen.

Empress Dowager Su was reclining on a soft couch, wearing a thin gauze dress that revealed her large white chest. Her slender, snow-white legs were faintly visible under the gauze skirt, and her face was noble and beautiful.

At this moment, looking at the covetous eyes of the men in the audience, her expression was wanton and confused.

Master Ji was kneeling beside the couch, holding a bottle of wine in one hand.

Still dressed in white, with her black hair half tied up, her face, which was more delicate and beautiful than that of a woman, was now smiling, with a gleam in her eyes that made her even more captivating.

Beautiful but not coquettish, charming but not vulgar.

Compared with Empress Dowager Su, he looked more like a vixen, making the equally beautiful Empress Dowager Su look like a vulgar woman.

Xia Ran stared at Master Ji's black hair, wondering, isn't it blue hair?

Ye Ji, who was pouring wine for the Queen Mother, felt a familiar gaze and paused.

"What's wrong, Aji?" Empress Dowager Su's jade hand climbed up to the man's hand holding the wine glass and gently held it.

A cold light flashed in Ye Ji's slightly drooped eyes. He raised his head and cleverly avoided the Queen Mother's hand, and handed the wine glass to her lips, "Queen Mother, try the wine that Ah Ji poured for you."

Queen Mother Su stretched her neck slightly and drank up the wine in the glass following the man's movements. During this time, her hand kept restlessly stroking the man's strong arm.

Xia Ran's face turned dark.

After the Queen Mother had finished drinking, Ye Ji used a clean handkerchief to wipe away the wine stains on her red lips.

Queen Mother Su looked at the man in front of her who was wiping her mouth carefully. He was more beautiful than an ordinary woman, with a slender and strong figure. He was a rare handsome man in the world.

Although he was serving her, she could not see the disgusting pretense or the extremely hypocritical flattery in his eyes.

He is neither humble nor arrogant, and has his own pride.

He was the type she had never met before, and she still felt a strong sense of novelty about him.

This was something she had never experienced before.

The emperor of the Yun Dynasty was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and an imperial look.

He took a leisurely look at the reactions of everyone on and off the stage before speaking, "Lord Liu, we are not in the palace today, so there won't be so many empty formalities."

"The Queen Mother often lives in the deep palace. It's a rare opportunity for her to come out now. As long as you don't go out of line, you can have fun."

Emperor Yunchao was very tolerant of Empress Dowager Su.

"Thank you, Your Majesty~" Empress Dowager Su said to the emperor in a tender voice, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

The queen over there had a gloomy look on her face and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

This little incident was easily resolved and everyone started to have lunch.

"Yushu." The emperor gestured to Yue Yushu who was sitting below with the wine glass.

Yue Yushu hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to the emperor, "Your Majesty."

Xia Ran also stood up and stood obediently beside the man.

Everyone's eyes followed the emperor, and suddenly all focused on the young couple in the audience.

The emperor looked at the beautiful couple he personally arranged to marry, and said loudly to the general, "Lord Xia, look, Yu Shu and Ran Ran are in a good relationship!"

Xia Taiwei, Xia Ran's father, Xia Qingyang, also turned to look at his daughter and son-in-law, then bowed to the emperor and said in a gentle voice, "I would like to thank your majesty for granting the marriage, which has facilitated the marriage between my daughter and Yu Shu."

The emperor laughed heartily, said a few polite words to Xia Qingyang, and then passed the subject over.

When Xia Ran and Yue Yushu sat down, they felt three different gazes directed at her.

The first party came from her parents, the Taiwei and his wife. The Taiwei glanced at her when he sat down. The emotion in that glance was kind and complicated. The Taiwei's wife next to him even wiped away tears quietly.

The second party came from the heroine, Princess Mingyue. The little girl was wearing a neat red dress today, with her hair tied up high, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and she looked straight in their direction, no, it should be said that she looked at Yue Yushu, her eyes were red.

Xia Ran glanced at the man sitting next to her. The man was drinking the tea in his hand with his head down. Her expression could not be seen clearly, but it seemed that he had been drinking this cup of tea for a long time.

The last sight was fleeting, coming from Master Ji who was standing next to Queen Mother Su on the high platform. Although it was just a passing glance, it carried an inexplicable sense of aggression, and Xia Ran shuddered.

When they looked again, the man in white was kneeling beside Empress Dowager Su with his back to them. His slender body was bent into a seductive posture, and he was feeding Empress Dowager Su grapes.

His attitude is just like that of a male favorite who is bringing chaos to the government.

Xia Ran frowned fiercely and opened the Eye of Truth.

Then she was caught off guard and saw the man standing there staring at her.

She was suddenly startled and her body jumped back uncontrollably, and her hand accidentally knocked over the tea on the table.

The man had loose green hair and was smiling faintly. His eyes looked at her in a captivating, deep and charming way.

No one knew when this illusion began, and the real him didn't know how long he had been looking at her.

It was not until she felt a heat on her legs that she hurriedly looked away.
