Long Yan listened attentively, and looked around. It turned out that the ritual officer set up a stage not far away in order to create an atmosphere, and there were actors singing on it at the moment.

Long Yan is not good at singing and dancing, because the Empress Dowager likes to watch operas, so occasionally one or two opera troupes will be invited from the palace.Today is probably the right time, and the Ministry of Rites cleverly went to invite him.

I just don't know why the song on stage is Peony Pavilion.

Maybe it's because he emphasized that the atmosphere should be relaxed at this dinner party?

But the Peony Pavilion...

Long Yan narrowed his slender eyes and smiled very satisfied.

Not bad……

This kind of melancholy joke probably fit Xiaoxuan's mood...

Long Yan's eyes slowly drifted away again, you can see that his fingers holding the wine glass are so strong, the fingertips are turning white, the dissatisfaction in the bottom of his eyes is getting bigger and bigger, and his lips are slightly pursed.

Although there is still a slight smile on his face, but Xiaoxuan, you can fool others, but you can't fool me——

"Your name is Lizhi?" Long Yan talked to the extremely shy girl sitting beside him.

"Go back to the emperor, yes." The girl blushed and didn't dare to lift her head.

"Heh, your name is Lizhi, and I'm Long Yan. Our names really match." Long Yan stretched out his voice, and continued to look at everyone in the audience. Everyone's hands began to shake, and he was very satisfied. Ah satisfied.

The Taiwei in the audience was also very satisfied, and he felt so happy when he stroked the mustache on his chin.I thought that my girl was too competitive, and her name matched it, didn't it mean...the emperor hasn't chosen a concubine in these years, and after this year's filial piety period expires, the queen mother will definitely order it. Doesn't her own daughter want to become the emperor in Gaozhi? concubine is even...

"Your Majesty..." Li Zhi gave her a coquettish look, her eyes were filled with the emotion of a little girl.

Long Yan wanted to add fuel to the fire, so he grabbed Lizhi's hand, "It's a girl's house after all, this hand is really beautiful..."

Before he could say a bright word, the Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and put the wine glass on the table fiercely, making a loud noise.

This beauty in Long Yan’s heart, come on Xiaoxuan, come and provoke me, I know you are shy, but in fact you love me the most in your heart, as long as you say that one likes me, I will do anything hahahahaha——

The prime minister walked forward step by step slowly but firmly, the emperor stopped in place, squinted his eyes and waited quietly...

Step by step……

Under the bright light, amidst the faint sound of the play, Mo Yixuan walked towards him wearing the dark blue cloak he gave him with cold eyes.

Obviously there was a lot of noise in the royal garden, but he seemed to be unable to hear anything; obviously Xiaoxuan's footsteps were drowned in the crowd and couldn't be heard at all, but it was as clear as hitting his heart.

Xiaoxuan... As long as you say a word... I will...

Long Yan pressed the dragon chair hard and his nails ached, his eyes were full of longing and anticipation...

Xiaoxuan...

but--

Our young Prime Minister did not go straight to the front of the palace, but turned a corner in the middle——

He strolled to Guo Kai's side, reached out to take the pine ink in his hand, smiled, "Master Guo, you have misunderstood, I didn't intend to offer this ink, I think the servant made a mistake."

Looking at Mo Yixuan holding Fang Mo's cherished eyes that Fang Mo refused to let go, after a moment of silence, Guo Kai put on a smiling face, "Oh...it turns out that's the case. A gentleman doesn't take what others like. Originally, what we have today is something you donate." I don't really like it, since the prime minister cherishes this ink like a pearl, how can I and my colleagues dare to force it? The prime minister will take care of it himself, and I will look at other things. I think everyone will not mind—"

All the ministers echoed, "I didn't intend to take it by force, Mr. Guo is serious—"

"Although I'm a little envious, but it's the prime minister's favorite, how can we force it—"

"Prime Minister, don't worry—"

Mo Yixuan solemnly bowed to the ministers, "Then thank you colleagues, everyone, please continue to choose—"

"The prime minister is polite——"

Holding the small gold-painted ink, the Prime Minister returned to his seat with a happy face, looked at the ink again, and then carefully put it away in his clothes.Then he poured himself a glass of wine and sipped slowly.The smile on the corners of his eyes...he is quite happy...

Long Yan couldn't stop his eyebrows from twitching wildly, cooperating with this person was unhappy because his beloved Mo was about to be robbed!I'm not jealous anymore!He didn't even look here from the beginning to the end, maybe he didn't care about him at all!It doesn't matter who he holds in his arms!

Long Yan didn't care, and crushed the cup in his hand.Li Zhi tremblingly called out to the emperor, Li Hongfu hurried over to see if the emperor was injured, but the emperor pushed him away and walked to the center of the hall.

"This Hendustan white jade petal wash is very beautiful, who offered it?"

The ministers bowed their heads and waited for the prime minister to come over.Just now the prime minister had said that what he offered was this object, and the emperor still asked this question... he must have forgotten it.

Mo Yixuan looked directly at the emperor for the first time this night, without expression.He got up and walked to the main hall, bowed, and said in a calm tone, "It's from the minister."

"Prime Minister has good taste. I like this thing very much." Long Yan raised his head slightly and squinted at him condescendingly. "Why don't you come and tell me about its origin?"

Everyone couldn't understand why the atmosphere finally became a little bit better, and suddenly the emperor became unhappy again.

Of course, it is the duty of a courtier to worry about the emperor's worries, but when the emperor is obviously angry, it's better to stay away a little... stay away.

So the center of the venue, which was originally the busiest, was separated by force because of the emperor's arrival.On the one hand, there are the ministers who have retreated far away, and on the other hand, the emperor and the prime minister who was called to stand beside him.

"It's my honor for the emperor to like this thing." Mo Yixuan lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, without any displeasure.But it was because Long Yan didn't mean to be unhappy at all that Long Yan was even more angry.

He elongated his voice, and said in a slightly cold voice, "I don't even know, but the prime minister has such a good taste. I think the political affairs in the court are too easy for the prime minister, so why don't I help the prime minister find something to do and live a better life?" Enriched too?"

"But if you can share the worries of the king, the ministers will not hesitate to die." Mo Yixuan bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"You—" Long Yan stared at him, thinking that you would die if you were unhappy to reply, you have to confront him like this!

Mo Yixuan was calm, and he really talked about the origin of the white jade petal wash, "I don't know the specific origin of it, but my father told me a story when he was still alive. It is said that in the last years of the previous dynasty, there was a princess..."

The emperor's eyes were frighteningly cold, and the scene was so quiet that people could not breathe well. The prime minister actually started telling the story in a serious manner... All the ministers felt that... it would be better to stand back.

So the accident happened at this moment.

A young eunuch walked out of the slanting thorn, and was holding something offered by the minister, and was going to put it together with the one on the hall.Originally, he was also taking an inconspicuous route, but when he was approaching him, he suddenly took out a small sword from the bottom of the plate, and stabbed straight at the emperor!

Because this person's speed was too fast, everyone was thinking about what to do next. When they noticed, this person was already in front of the emperor!They only had time to call out the word escort...

Tonight's banquet is very important. Before the emperor asked the imperial guards to pay more attention to the periphery, and most of the shadow guards were also paying attention to whether there were any unmovable people around. The closest to the assassin was Mo Ying.

Although I didn't go through any big battles and I was quite scared, but after professional training, I know that I am now the best in martial arts on the field, so I still have to try it before it's too late...

Long Yan looked at it, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he tilted his head slightly, and looked at Cheng with a similar smile but not a smile: Xiaoxuan, what will you do?

Mo Yixuan's quiet eyes were bottomless, he frowned, turned his head to meet Long Yan's eyes, and suddenly became unhappy: You want to use this to test me?

Long Yan raised his eyebrows: What will you do?

Mo Yixuan smiled slightly: I don't know how to do it.

Long Yan understands Mo Yixuan best, this person loves stimulation, likes challenges, and likes to resolve any unexpected things.He actually guessed that if one day he was assassinated, he would definitely keep his arms crossed and ignore him.Because, he wanted to see what he, the emperor, was like in the face of a crisis, and whether he could resolve it when the crisis was really imminent.

So he didn't expect Mo Yixuan to stop him from saying that the emperor is going to be dangerous here, please take care of the emperor or something.But when this moment came, the deep disappointment in his heart really made him very uncomfortable.

But—Xiaoxuan, you really can't move?

He stood there quietly, waiting calmly when the danger was imminent.

I think you can move.You will do something for me.

Mo Yixuan already knew Long Yan's boring nature, one day he would try him in this way, he had already guessed.A bit of cunning slowly emerged from the bottom of his black eyes, my lord, guess, you will avoid it yourself first, or should I push you away first?

In fact, the most depressing thing right now is the assassin...

No matter how fast he is, the palace is full of dangers, maybe there are some archers in ambush, and he will die with just one arrow.Moreover, if the emperor and the prime minister moved and ran away, he was not fully sure that he could successfully assassinate such people, but the emperor is standing there, motionless, as if he was giving him a target, and he almost said that you don't want to kill them. It's good to shake straight...

The assassin's hands began to tremble a little...

However, what happened in an instant, because everyone was thinking about it, made it appear a little longer.

Long Yan and Mo Yixuan continued to look at each other and smile, the atmosphere was strange and unbelievable.

The assassin began to look forward to the emperor making a move... even if it meant avoiding it a little...

When the sword was one step away, the two of them did not move.

When the sword was two inches away, the two of them did not move.

When the sword was an inch away, the two
