Chapter 78: That's not how you add fuel to the fire
Almost everyone who should be there has arrived.
The banquet is about to begin.
"Is there anyone here?"
Yun Wanyao was chatting with Mo Zhaozhao when a deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and her heartbeat suddenly lost frequency.
Turning her head, she saw Mo Yuanlin appearing beside her at some point, looking at her with a pair of deep and dark eyes.
The fists in her sleeves tightened, and Yun Wanyao's whole body tensed up. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she kept cheering herself up in her heart, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she still couldn't help but stutter.
"Back to the emperor, no, no one..."
"Oh."
The young and handsome emperor raised his eyebrows in response and walked to her side Sit down.
"Brother Imperial, why are you here?"
Mo Zhaozhao stuck his head out and looked at Mo Yuanlin curiously.
She, Yun Wanyao, and Jiang Zitang were sitting side by side. Yun Wanyao was on the far left, she was in the middle, and then there were Jiang Zitang and Xie Xuanyong.
There was no space between the four of them, so Mo Yuanlin sat on the left side of Yun Wanyao.
“Well, I think your location is good.”
Mo Yuanlin lowered his eyelids and responded lightly, and Mo Zhaozhao suddenly became arrogant.
"Of course, this position was my first choice, how about that?"
After saying that, she suddenly thought of something and said, "But brother, that position It's reserved for Brother Wang. Where do you want Brother Wang to sit? Didn't you separate Brother Wang from A Yao? "
"Really?"
Mo Yuan Lin turned to look at Yun Wanyao and said, "Just now, you clearly told me that there is no one here. Now, do you need me to give way to Yuan Hao?"
Hearing this, Yun Wanyao's scalp felt numb and she shook her head subconsciously.
"No, no need, the emperor can just sit here."
He suddenly came over and asked her if there was anyone next to her. She was so nervous that her mind went blank. How could she think of Mo Yuanhao? ?
Besides, Mo Yuanhao didn't say he wanted to sit with her. He has been here for so long, even the emperor has come over, but he has not been seen yet. Doesn't she still have to hold a seat for him?
Now that the emperor is sitting here, she does not have the courage to ask him to give up his throne.
Even if Mo Yuanhao is a prince, he is not qualified to ask the king of a country to give up his throne for him.
But, what about Mo Yuanhao?
Yun Wanyao turned around to look for him, but saw him standing next to the main stage, looking in one direction with an unclear expression. Looking along his line of sight, Yun Wanyao's pupils tightened.
That direction... is the heroine!
How could he look at the heroine so fascinated?
Could it be that you really can't escape your destiny?
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
Mo Yuanlin's eyes moved, and a trace of smile appeared on the corner of his lips, which made Mo Zhaozhao stop talking. Roll your eyes.
Brother Huang really knew that A Yao was afraid of him, so he deliberately asked A Yao like that.
When he sat there, didn't he know the relationship between Brother Wang and A Yao?
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Zitang and Xie Xuanyong finally had the opportunity to greet Mo Yuanlin. Mo Yuanlin responded, turned around and started chatting with Xie Xuanyong.
"What is Ayao looking at?"
Caught in the middle, Mo Zhaozhao was not interested in the content of their chat at all. He turned to look at Yun Wanyao and saw her biting her lip. Looking in one direction, his expression was indescribably complicated.
After following her line of sight, she saw Mo Yuanhao.
Mo Zhaozhao didn't think much about it, raised his lips and joked, "Oh, it turns out I'm looking at Brother Wang. By the way, Brother Wang doesn't need to host the winter banquet. What is he doing standing there?"
Hear After her words, everyone looked in the direction of Mo Yuanhao, but Mo Yuanhao was completely unaware of it.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in white not far away with delicate eyebrows and a lazy expression. His whole person was surrounded by an indescribable strange feeling.
That is, Su Qianxue?
Why does it seem like a different person?
The Su Qianxue in the past had a clearly stupid look on her face, but why, after not seeing her for a few days, does it seem like she has been reborn, and the same feeling as before can no longer be found in her body?
Suddenly he remembered that the idiot who had stalked him, done all the stupid things, and embarrassed him had not appeared in front of him for a long time.
During this period, she never bothered him again.
This was obviously a good thing, but now Mo Yuanhao felt that something was very wrong.
How could a woman who loved him desperately and wanted to break off her engagement with Yun Wanchen over and over again for him give up on him so suddenly?
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
She will never give up easily, so there must be something hidden in this.
Aware of his probing gaze, Su Qianxue looked over. Seeing that he didn't avoid it at all, she rolled her eyes at him with contempt.
Although this male protagonist has a handsome appearance, he is really not a good guy.
The original owner didn't care about his face or his identity, he loved him desperately, he humbled himself to the point of death, and did everything he could to please him, but he never looked at the original owner.
Every time, the original owner was treated like a bug and trash, and he was extremely disgusted and looked down upon. In the end, he brutally killed the original owner for the sake of the heroine.
She came back through time because he taught the original owner a lesson and frightened the original owner into a serious illness.
Falling in love with such a heartless and hateful guy, the original owner was really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Seeing her disgusted and contemptuous expression, Mo Yuanhao's eyes darkened slightly. She had indeed changed. How could the former Su Qianxue look at him like this?
How can such a good person change at will?
"Brother Wang..."
Mo Zhaozhao licked his lips, wanting to say something to excuse Mo Yuanhao, or to comfort Yun Wanyao, but he only said three words and could not continue.
Even she felt that Brother Wang was looking at that hateful woman Su Qianxue, and he had been looking at her for a long time. How could Ayao not think so?
Brother Wang, is he so full that he has nothing to do?
What are you looking at that Su Qianxue doing?
What's there to see?
Thinking of the expressions of the noble masters in the audience today when they saw Su Qianxue, Mo Zhaozhao suddenly felt a thump in his heart, no, no, no, Brother Wang can't be so superficial, right?
"Miss Su is very beautiful today. She is a graceful lady and a gentleman. No wonder Yuan Hao is fascinated by it."
Mo Yuanlin smiled slightly and spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yun Wanyao couldn't help but tighten her fists a little, and her eyes darkened.
Looking at Yun Wanyao with worry, Mo Zhaozhao gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush over and sew Mo Yuanlin's big mouth shut.
My fair lady and gentleman are so angry. Brother Wang, please give me some help. He already has a fiancée, okay?
His fiancée is sitting among us, don’t you know?
It’s true that there’s no need to lift the pot, and that’s not how you add fuel to the fire. Didn’t you see that A Yao’s mood was wrong?
If you want to break up A Yao and Brother Wang, just say it clearly, there is no need to fan the flames like this.
"Oh, my fair lady and gentleman, how come the emperor has also fallen in love with Su Qianxue? I'll leave it at that. Su Qianxue and I are irreconcilable. I don't care about the fact that the emperor wants to welcome Su Qianxue into the palace. Agree."
Mo Yuanlin: "..."
"I am just expressing my opinion objectively. When did I say that I would welcome her into the palace? Zhaozhao is not allowed to say anything, so as not to spread rumors? Gossips don’t end well.”
“Huh, who asked the emperor to praise her beauty? The emperor has never praised a woman like this. I always thought that in the eyes of the emperor, all women are the same. There is no distinction between beauty and ugliness." Mo Zhaozhao retorted unconvinced.
Mo Yuanlin sighed helplessly, "I have eyes, how can I not tell the difference between beauty and ugliness?"
After a moment, he looked at Yun Wanyao and continued, "Miss Yun, Cousin Jiang, And Zhaozhao is also very beautiful today."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Jiang Zitang smiled slightly and thanked her quickly.
Yun Wanyao was stunned for a moment. After hearing Jiang Zitang's words, she quickly came back to her senses and said stutteringly, "Many, thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
"Ha~"
Mo Yuanlin looked away and laughed softly. Although he didn't know what he was laughing about, he could tell that he was in a good mood.
“That’s pretty much it.”
The three of them were all praised, and Mo Zhaozhao became happy and snorted arrogantly. Then, he heard Master Jijiu shouting Jiang Zitang.
She stretched out her hand and patted Jiang Zitang gently, and said, "Cousin, the banquet is about to begin. Master Jijiu is calling you. Go quickly, talented woman."
As the most talented woman appointed by the late emperor, Jiang Zitang must attend every winter banquet in the future, unless there is some major event that cannot be avoided, and present her new work with her own handwriting at the beginning to start the ceremony for everyone.
"Yes."
Jiang Zitang responded with a blushing face, turned to look at Xie Xuanyong, and said, "Ayong, I'll go then."
" Well, go ahead.”
Xie Xuanyong responded softly and watched her walk toward the center.
"Brother Imperial, why are you sitting here?"
Mo Yuanhao came over and stood in front of Mo Yuanlin, frowning at him.
Mo Yuanlin raised his head and said calmly, "I saw no one here, so I sat here. Why did my second brother just come here now?"
Mo Yuanhao: "..."< br>
How could there be no one?
Isn't he human?
"Yes, Brother Wang, why did you come here now? Are you dazzled by something?"
Mo Zhaozhao crossed his arms over his chest and made a strange sound. When he heard her words, Mo Zhaozhao Yuan Hao was slightly startled and immediately realized that they might have seen him when he looked at Su Qianxue.
Something suddenly flashed through his mind. He subconsciously looked at Yun Wanyao between the two brothers and sisters, and saw that the beautiful, refined, exquisite and gorgeous girl was also looking up at him.
Mo Yuanhao's throat suddenly felt dry, and a rare trace of nervousness flashed through his heart.
"Yao'er, things are not what you think. I just thought that Su Qianxue was a little weird, so I was distracted for a moment."
"Oh," Yun Wanyao responded lightly, and then unexpectedly He said with a smile, "What do you think, Your Majesty, what I think?"
Mo Yuanhao: "..."
Does his words count as self-inflicted?
She didn't say anything yet, but he was so eager to prove his innocence. I'm afraid, it will only get darker and darker.
"Oh, I feel that Yao'er has always been sensible and will understand me and will not make random guesses and misunderstand me."
Yun Wanyao: "???"
So , if she continues to ask, is she being ignorant and being arrogant?
Okay.
"Zhaozhao, come over and sit down."
Mo Yuanhao lowered his head and looked at Mo Zhaozhao, trying to get her to give way so that he could be next to Yun Wanyao.
Compared to Mo Yuanlin, Mo Zhaozhao is obviously a soft persimmon.
But now, even if Mo Zhaozhao is a soft persimmon, he will not be pinched.
"This is my cousin's seat. I'll sit over there. Where will my cousin sit when she comes back soon? Since Brother Wang is late, he'd better find another seat."
"Zhaozhao, be obedient."
Mo Yuanhao's voice became darker, and Mo Zhaozhao snorted coldly, then turned to look at Mo Yuanlin and complained blatantly.
"Brother, look at it, Brother Wang is threatening me."
Hmph, Brother Wang, this big bastard, dared to look at the woman she hated most for so long in public. This made her She was very angry and didn't want to listen to him.
Since you love looking at that woman so much, just sit next to her and take a good look at her. Why are you here?
“There are so many seats, second brother, please find someone else.”
Mo Yuanlin spoke calmly. As soon as he said this, it was clear that he would not give up his seat. Mo Yuanhao sighed and had to sit on the left side of Mo Yuanlin.
A pair of young lovers were separated by the man in the middle.
"Brother Emperor, Zhao Zhao is childish, willful, and unreasonable. Why do you deliberately embarrass me?"
Brother Emperor could obviously give up his position, but he just sat motionless. Make up your mind not to give up your position.
Although there is no reason for an emperor to give up his seat to his ministers, they are brothers from the same mother. Today is not a formal occasion. What can the emperor do if he just gives up his seat?
Mo Yuanhao was very dissatisfied with this.
Mo Yuanlin's expression did not change and he said calmly, "I'm not making things difficult for you. First come, first served. You came late yourself. It's good to have a seat. Why do you still want to ask others to give up your seat?"< br>
“Although this winter banquet is not an important occasion, but with so many young men and ladies watching, how can I make way for you?”
“If I make way, what do you think? What will they say in private? "
"Although you and I are brothers, the king is the king and the ministers are ministers, and the principles of the king and the ministers cannot be disturbed."
Mo Yuanhao: "..."
For such a big thing, it has to be so serious, right?
What can these gentlemen and noble ladies say in private? At most, it means that they have a good relationship as brothers.
But now that the words had been said, Mo Yuanhao could not continue to hold on to the matter, so he had to stop trying to coax Yun Wanyao.
Originally, he was thinking of coaxing her after sitting with her, but now it seems that he can only wait until after the banquet is over, or when she leaves in the middle.
On the stage, the Lord Jijiu was stroking his beard and speaking impassionedly. Jiang Zitang was writing in the middle. There were four knowledgeable scholars beside her.
The scholars looked at the increasingly enthusiastic words on the rice paper in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
It can be seen from the expressions of several people that Jiang Zitang's poetry today is probably quite good.
In the audience, Su Qianxue raised her lips and looked at the girl who was writing seriously, with a touch of disdain in her eyes.
She wanted to see what masterpiece this most talented woman in the Great Martial Kingdom could write.
However, what is certain is that no matter what kind of masterpiece this most talented woman writes today, there will only be one result, and that is to be stepped on by her and become a stepping stone for her to stand up.
She wants the title of the most talented woman! ! !
