Lan Ling realized that she was late, she glanced at it, and the seat next to the emperor was empty, which should be reserved for herself.

The Mingguang Hall was full of voices, and no one paid attention to her.

She puckered her waist and just wanted to sneak over from behind.

"The empress is here!" Yang Shu sang full of breath.

Except for the emperor, everyone stood up and saluted, "Happy Empress Empress!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes are on her.

Lan Ling bent down and settled there, suddenly realized that they seemed to be saluting me!

She has always tried to hide herself in public as if she didn't exist. She does not want to be noticed.

She didn't mean to be late today. She got up late at first, and she was entangled with whether to come or not. She entangled for a long time, and in the past few days, she obviously felt that she was particularly lazy.

More importantly, she forgot that she is now a queen. She thought she was the former humble concubine Ling, sneaking in, no one would pay attention to her.

Lan Ling's face was red and his ears were red, it was too shameful, would Ling Chen scold himself?

She stood up slowly and straightened up.

But his eyes looked at everyone in astonishment like a fawn.

Ling Chen sat there, tilted his head and looked at her, seeing her stunned in a panic, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she was still so senseless!

"Queen, won't everyone be flat? Come and sit down!"

Ling Chen couldn't bear it and called her.

Seeing Ling Chen, Lan Ling quickly calmed down. She was Lan Ling after all, and she reacted quickly. She immediately put on an elegant and noble smile on her face, stretched out her hands to make everyone flat, straightened their waists, raised their shoulders, and raised their heads. , Walked slowly to Ling Chen and sat down.

Ling Chen reached out and held her hand, helped her sit down, and sorted her crooked hairpin.

With a smile on his face, Wen Heng clasped his hands tightly together, and his nails were almost cut off.

Lan Ling, as long as you are here, how can I be happy?

Ling Chen looked at Lan Ling and said in a low voice: "You sit for a while, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

He remembered that when Wen Heng was pregnant, he couldn't smell any strange smell.

"Well, it's okay, I'll just say it if it's uncomfortable." Lan Ling said while scanning the tables below, and he really saw a few strangers.

"The emperor, which is Dou Erqin?" Lan Ling asked Ling Chen softly.

"The first one at the main table on the left is his sister Dou Wan'er next to him." Ling Chen said quietly.

Lan Ling looked at the man with a burly figure, single eyelids, a high nose, and a simple face. Although his appearance was not as good as Jiang Rui's chic and heroic appearance, he was considered a talent.

The woman next to her has thick eyebrows and deep eye sockets, which is very beautiful.

Lan Ling watched Ling Shuang sitting there, lowered his head to eat the dishes in front of him, his expression indifferent.

In the past few days, she wanted to find a chance to ask Jiang Rui's meaning, but she had never seen him.

Ling Chen was talking and laughing, and was discussing the wonders of the world with the ministers and Dou Erqin. Ling Chen at this time, very much like the way Lan Ling had just met when he first met, with smiles and eloquent talk, looking unrestrained.

Suddenly Dou Erqin stood up and walked to Ling Shuang's side, holding a white jade bottle in his hand, "Beautiful princess, this is the holy water and spar from Moon Lake in the Great Moon Country, for the princess."

Ling Shuang was taken aback for a moment.

Dou Erqin had been to Daxing before. At that time Ling Shuang was seven or eight years old. She once heard that Moon Lake in the Great Moon Kingdom was their holy water. If there is a lover, she will give the holy water of Moon Lake to her lover. This is their custom.

Ling Shuang pretended not to understand, stretched out his hand to take the white jade bottle and looked at it, "Well, your Royal Highness, I also have one of this bottle, which was given to me by my sweetheart."

Dou Erqin's expression stagnated.

Ling Chen suppressed the smile on his face: "That person is already dead, the seventh princess doesn't need to mention it again."

Ling Shuang's face changed.

What she said just now was false, but the emperor's brother said that, was it a threat to her? If she disagrees with the marriage, will the imperial brother kill Jiang Rui?

Ling Shuang held holy water in his hand and stared at Ling Chen with a look of horror.

Douerton did not expect that the holy water he sent would make Princess Lingshuang so frightened.

Ling Shuang raised his hand and returned the white bottle to him, and Doulton held it in his hand, in a dilemma.

At this time Dou Wan'er stood up and reached out and took the bottle from Dou Erqin, "Princess Lingshuang, you know that my eldest brother is giving you this holy water to show you his heart. If you don't want to say it directly, is it a big deal? Are all the girls so twitchy?"

"Yes, I don't want to. I mean someone!" Ling Shuang looked up at her directly.

Dou Wan'er put the bottle in her pocket, "Brother, if she doesn't want to, why should you force it! This holy water is just to lend to my sister!"

Dou Erqin smiled heartily and turned back to his seat.

Dou Wan'er bowed and saluted Ling Chen: "The emperor, this princess and eldest brother came to Daxing country together. They were married. Now, the princess of Daxing has no intention of this. It seems that this time the task given to us by the father It can't be done."

Ling Chen glanced at her, and then at King Rui, "Daxing sincerely makes friends with Dayue Country, princess, please stay calm."

Dou Wan'er walked to Ling Chen and handed the holy water: "The emperor, this princess will give you this holy water!"

Lan Ling's expression changed instantly.

Ling Chen paused, raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to take it and said with a smile: "There are many good men in Daxing. I will keep this holy water for you, and I will give it to him when I find a suitable princess!"

Ling Chen knew what Dou Wan'er meant.

He saw Dou Wan'er relieved her brother, she was smart and bold, and she had the demeanor of Lan Ling.

But he didn't want to marry her. Lan Ling frowned and worried, making him worried.

He wanted to marry Dou Wan'er to King Rui very much, but he didn't know what King Rui was thinking, so he wanted to wait to ask King Rui before making plans.

Lan Ling felt that this matter couldn't just end like this. After all, Ling Shuang was in front of so many people, preventing the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom from coming to stage, and Dou Wan'er was also in front of so many people, giving her holy water to the emperor.

Really uneasy.

After the banquet, Ling Chen did not arrive at her Wangyou Palace.

Ling Shuang didn't come over either. Later Xiao Guizi said that Ling Shuang was forbidden by the emperor in his palace, and no one was allowed to see her.

Lan Ling sighed, she secretly went to Shufang Palace and saw the tight guard at the door, it seemed that Ling Chen was really angry.

She thought of Ling Chen's troubles. In the past, she would definitely complain about Ling Chen and exchange the happiness of the princess for her own stability, but now she didn't think so.

Personal happiness is negligible compared to the disaster brought about by the war between the two countries.

Jiang Rui is an orphan and has no background except for a person from Tsing Yi Tang. As the emperor Ling Chen, how could he let the princess marry him.

Besides, Lan Ling didn't know whether Jiang Rui liked the princess. She wanted to help Ling Shuang, but she couldn't harm Jiang Rui.

The princess had already rejected Dou Erqin in front of so many people. Although Dou Erqin was not angry at the time, how many men could accept being rejected in public? Besides, he is the prince.

Ling Shuang is indeed willful.

Ling Chen has not come over these few days. He never even returned to the harem.

In the afternoon of that day, Lan Ling looked incredible when he saw Xiao Guizi coming back from outside.

He was taken aback when he saw Lan Ling.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lan Ling asked.

"Niangniang, I heard that the emperor is going to marry the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom..."

"Who did you hear?" Lan Ling didn't believe it.

"Everyone is spreading that because the princess doesn't want to be married to their prince, and their princess has fallen in love with the emperor, they have been pestering the emperor these days..."

Lan Ling didn't believe it. But I feel that this is true.

At the banquet that day, although Ling Chen rejected Dou Wan'er, Lan Ling felt abnormal when the princess looked at the emperor's eyes.
