The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 331 The Family Banquet Before the Expedition ([-])

The moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright, the white moonlight pours down on the ground, as if it is coated with a layer of silver, and the palace lanterns hang high, illuminating the busy palace people who are coming and going in and out of the Chaoyang Palace.

Duan Jinchu dodged behind the marble pillar, looking around vigilantly, like a thief. Tonight, she specially wore a dark green dress, hiding herself in the darkness, lest others see her, watching the banquet It's about to start, but I still hide here and dare not go in, my heart is fluttering.

"Little Chuzi!"

Suddenly there was a low call from behind, Duan Jinchu trembled nervously, turned his head timidly, and when he saw the person clearly, he immediately tightened his face, and said very displeasedly: "Prince Anping, do you want to scare people to death? It’s okay, don’t call me Xiao Chuzi!”

"Oh... that's right, your father has told you that your identity can't be..." Chu Yunlan froze for a while, then suddenly realized that he patted his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "Ahem, that Chu'er... No, it can't be called that, Mrs. Ba, Mrs. Ba... It's not right either, why is it so awkward to call it?"

"Pfft!"

Seeing Chu Yunlan's tangled and depressed expression, Duan Jinchu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you're awkward, and I'm awkward too. Since you can't be called Xiao Chuzi, then call me Chuer!"

"Really? Can I call you Chu'er?" Hearing this, Chu Yunlan's pupils lit up, and she asked with surprise in her tone.

"Why not? Anyway, just don't call me Mrs. Eight, that... Yunhe and I are not married yet, it sounds awkward to me!" Duan Jinchu curled his lips, thought for a while, and chuckled again, "Also, you guys Does the royal family have the title of madam? Or, when we get married, you can call me brother and sister!"

"No!" Chu Yunlan immediately refused, and realized something was wrong after speaking, she pursed her lips and remained silent, her expression became more entangled, and only then said a little angrily at Duan Jinchu's puzzled eyes: "I'm going to call Chu'er !Even if you are married, I will still be called Chuer, even if Old Ba is not happy, I will still be called that way!"

"Hehe..." Duan Jinchu couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, folded his arms around his chest, and said teasingly, "Prince Anping, isn't it just a title? As for the appearance of wanting to fight with someone?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunlan suddenly darkened his handsome face, stared at Duan Jinchu motionlessly, parted his thin lips a few times, as if hesitating to speak, but finally turned his face away, deliberately lowered his tone, and said: "I'm just kidding! Why don't you go in here? The banquet is about to begin!"

"I...I don't want to go in!" Duan Jinchu dodged her eyes, and couldn't help but tighten her fingers. Isn't she hiding here because she doesn't dare to see people?Even though the emperor was too old to recognize this face, what if he looked at it too much today and suddenly remembered it, what should he do?

"Why don't you want to go in? The eighth brother is going to go to war tomorrow morning. This is the last family banquet before the expedition. The emperor sent you to the palace because he regarded you as a royal daughter-in-law. If you don't want to go in, it's because you don't want to marry the eighth brother. Is it?" Chu Yunlan frowned and asked suspiciously.

"I..." Duan Jinchu clenched his lower lip in embarrassment, hesitantly squeezed his reasons, "I, I think it's very depressing inside, the emperor... he's too majestic, I, I won't be able to eat."

"Oh, it's okay, Father doesn't care about you today, you can just eat as you please, besides, weren't you very bold in Mu's Villa that day? How dare you... Cough cough, why don't you stop today?" Are you timid again?" Chu Yunlan said disapprovingly.

"Uh..." Duan Jinchu was at a loss for words, staring at the ground with lowered eyes, and was struggling to know how to answer, when there were footsteps of varying severity in the corridor, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head, but it was Chu Yunli and Chu Yunhe walking side by side come.

Chu Yunlan looked over, and the corners of his mouth fluttered, "Hehe... Chu'er, it's all over now, with the old eight protecting you, you can ignore your father and eat with peace of mind!"

Duan Jinchu's eyebrows twitched, turned sideways, put his hands together, and secretly prayed for God's blessing, hoping that the emperor would continue to be dizzy with his old eyes.

"Chu'er!"

Seeing them from afar, Chu Yunhe yelled softly, quickened his pace, stood still and raised his fist slightly towards Chu Yunlan, "The third brother is here too!"

"Oh, yes, I was bored inside, so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet Chu'er, so I chatted for a while." Chu Yunlan smiled unnaturally.

"Chu'er..." Chu Yunhe drew the end of the voice, and said with a half-smile: "Third brother seems to be called Chu'er eighth sibling, and the emperor has already agreed!"

When Chu Yunlan heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Baby, you—"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

It didn't sound right, Duan Jinchu hurriedly turned around, and interrupted displeasedly: "Are you two enemies? You always throw picks when you meet, hurry in!"

"Why are you all arguing outside? It is the right way to be careful that your father will get angry for a while!" Chu Yunli stepped up on his heels, said a word coldly, passed the three of them, and stepped into the gate of Chaoyang Palace.

The three of them looked at each other with different expressions, and they looked at each other speechlessly. Chu Yunlan wisely followed in first, and the other two smiled at each other. Chu Yunhe asked in a low voice, "Chu'er, what are you doing hiding outside?"

"I'm afraid!" Duan Jinchu frowned, "I really should put on smoky makeup and put some hemorrhoids on my face so that no one can recognize me!"

"Hehe, if you don't recognize me, then you will scare people to death!" Chu Yunhe laughed, took Duan Jinchu's hand, and winked at her, "Go in later, just keep your head down and eat, and don't let anyone look at you. He will keep talking with the emperor, so that he can't care about you!"

"Oh, okay, let's go in now." Duan Jinchu nodded, and his tense mood was relieved by half, I hope she can pass the test smoothly!
"it is good!"

In the inner hall, it was already very lively. On a huge red sandalwood dining table, Chu Muyuan sat in the middle and uppermost, and a group of women sat on the right side, including the harem concubines, relatives, concubines Jing, and Ping Wang, and on the left. It is the prince, the county king, and several grandsons and princes.

Seeing them coming in, everyone got up one after another, clasped their fists towards Chu Yunhe, and saluted each other. Countless eyes turned on Duan Jinchu at the same time. Damn her identity was so broken that she dared not even meet anyone!

"Okay, let's all sit down!" Chu Muyuan carried him away, laughing in a thick voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When everyone was seated, Duan Jinchu was helped by the palace maid to the seat behind Princess Ping, and attended as a princess. Chu Yunhe couldn't help turning his head to look at Chu Muyuan, smiling slightly, with a touch of gratitude in his eyes.
