Princess is heartbroken

Chapter 91 Palace Banquet (3)

Xia Qingtian was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face, she just smiled gently in Luo Lingrui's direction, and said loudly:
"My lord misunderstood, Qingtian never felt how great she was, on the contrary, Qingtian felt that everything she did was insignificant!

"Everyone knows that Qingtian is just a businessman, and a businessman seeks profit! It's just where the profit comes from, of course, it is earned from the common people. Only when the common people are better can Qingyue Villa develop better, and Qingtian will be truly beneficial. Pictureable!"

"Qingyue Villa depends on the support of the people of Nanling. It is natural for Qingtian to do something for the common people. Only when they are well, Qingyue Villa will be better!"

"Besides, since it is taken from the people, there is nothing to be proud of when it is used for the people. If the people are gone, what's the use of businessmen?"

Xia Qingtian's words were frank and candid, especially the phrase "take it from the people and use it for the people", which made all the adults think about it.

The emperor's thoughts moved slightly, isn't Xia Qingtian's way of doing business the same as his way of governing the country?Nanling Kingdom will be better only if the common people are better.

In my heart, I admire Xia Qingtian's personality more and more, and even more admire his mind and bearing.

Li Yue was amused in her heart, she had known Qing Tian for many years, just hearing her few words, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

They are all people who have gone through a lifetime. The tricks of fate have made them cold-hearted towards the world. How can they have extra kindness to help others?
Luo Lingrui didn't improve his attitude because of Xia Qingtian's words, but showed a sarcasm on the contrary: "The words are sharp, they are all the truth, and what they say seems to be true, so that this prince has nothing to say. said!"

Luo Lingrui's repeated provocations made the emperor look displeased, and said coldly: "Enough! Ruier!"

Luo Lingrui pursed her lips, lay on her back on the chair, crossed her legs, trembled, and said no more.

The emperor turned his head to look at Xia Qingtian, and said apologetically: "Master Xia, don't worry, Mr. Rui has always been an unruly person, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and he has no bad intentions!"

Xia Qingtian smiled, didn't care too much, and said softly: "Caomin knows!"

Xia Qingtian's open-mindedness made the emperor appreciate him even more, and he deliberately arranged Xia Qingtian's position beside Luo Qiyun.

After thinking about it, he also hoped that Luo Qiyun would have more contact with Xia Qingtian. This move made Luo Yunche grind his teeth.

After the emperor signaled Xia Qingtian to sit down, he said in a low voice to everyone:
"This banquet is mainly to thank Zhuangzhu Xia for everything he has done for the people in the south. At the same time, it is also to celebrate Zhuangzhu Xia becoming the emperor merchant of the Nanling Kingdom! This banquet is mainly supervised by the empress!"

Then he turned to look at the queen: "The queen has worked hard!"

"Concubines don't have to work hard! This is the job of concubines!" Empress Duanmu smiled generously.

"Well, let's start the banquet!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

The queen nodded to the nurse beside her, and the banquet officially started, and soon there was music, and a row of dancers walked from the side door to the main hall, and began to perform dances.

Eighteen dancers performed a water sleeve dance together. The dancing posture was provocative, and the movements of swinging the sleeves were like clouds and flowing water. They were done in one go, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

Li Yue had to sigh, as expected of a dancer specially trained by the imperial palace, with such long sleeves, she didn't trip over her when she flung them out and retracted them?sharp!

When Liyue was sighing, Xia Qingtian's mouth was also tsk-tsk: "No wonder people say that there are many beautiful women in the palace, it really is! Seeing my little heart, plopping!"

Xia Qingtian's frivolity made Luo Qiyun frowned subconsciously. It was hard to believe that the young man next to him, who behaved like a playboy, would be the founder of Qingyue Villa.

Soon the opening dance was over, and the most exciting part of the palace banquet also came. The queen gave an order, and the daughters of various families began to compete for talent.

At the beginning, the performers were all the daughters of low-ranking officials, and the talents in the performances were all passable, not bad, but not brilliant.

Not long after, it was Xu Lingxi's turn. As soon as Xu Lingxi came on stage, she immediately caught everyone's attention. Apart from her noble temperament, it was more because of the green violin in her hand. One of the famous pianos, hard to find in the world.

If Li Yue took that Jiaowei Qin, it would have the same effect, of course, before playing the piano.

Standing in the center of the arena, Xu Lingxi first slightly bent her knees, and blessed everyone, her red lips parted slightly: "Lingxi has made a fool of herself!"

After she was seated, she plucked the strings with plain hands, and the strings seemed to have life in her hands.

At the end of the song, everyone was still intoxicated by the notes and couldn't get back to their senses.

Li Yue sighed in her heart, she deserves to be the number one talented woman, and she is definitely not in vain!
For some reason, seeing everyone's intoxicated expressions, Li Yue raised her eyes subconsciously, and looked at Luo Qiyun. Unexpectedly, she actually looked into those bottomless eyes and fell into them unconsciously.

When he came back to his senses, he was very annoyed, and glared at Luo Qiyun angrily from the air, while Luo Qiyun smiled triumphantly, as if he was very satisfied with Li Yue's reaction.

The interaction between the two caught the eyes of many people.

Xu Lingxi gave up the song and looked at Luo Qiyun expectantly, but when she didn't want to, she saw Luo Qiyun openly flirting with Liyue, and she hated Liyue in her heart.

The Eleventh Prince Luo Yunke kept his gaze on Li Yue, seeing this scene, the loss in his heart was beyond words.

As for Princess Xiyang, her eyes kept switching back and forth between Luo Yunke and Li Yue. From the beginning of the banquet, she could clearly see that Luo Yunke's gaze had been following Li Yue.

As a result, resentment arose in her heart, and her resentful eyes cast fiercely on Li Yue.

For these, Li Yue is not unaware, but there are some irrelevant people on the left and right, why should she care?

As for the protagonist of this banquet, Xia Qingtian, when he saw the reactions of several people, three words flashed in his mind, adultery!

Busy gossiping, she came to Luo Qiyun, pointed in Liyue's direction, and whispered: "Do you like that beauty over there?"

Luo Qiyun cast Xia Qingtian a sideways glance, feeling vigilant, and said in a deep voice: "She is my fiancée!"

The implication is that if you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, put them away quickly!

Xia Qingtian didn't hear what Luo Qiyun meant, but just got closer to Luo Qiyun:

"Then you have to be careful. Your fiancée is as beautiful as a flower. According to my son, the eleventh brother of your family seems to want to pry your corner!"

On the surface, it was to remind Luo Qiyun, but from Xia Qingtian's tone, it was not difficult to hear the undisguised gloating.

After Xia Qingtian finished speaking, Luo Qiyun subconsciously glanced at Luo Yunke, frowning tightly.

Seeing Luo Qiyun's reaction, Xia Qingtian also understood, His Royal Highness King Qi seemed to know it well.
