Chapter 113 - The eyes looking at him

Xiao Qingqian was like a fish back in the water as he faced the court officials, flattering them nonchalantly, occasionally turning his head to look at Wei Qing gently.

When Wei Qing felt the force of his pinching on her waist, she curled her lips with difficulty.

”The princess' beauty can be said to be at the peak of beauty in the kingdom!” Someone flattered him.

Wei Qing felt that the muscles on her face were extremely stiff.

Xiao Qingqian coughed lightly. She took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

In the distance, Chu Yin's hand that was holding the wine cup was tightening, as though if he had a bit more strength, the wine cup would have shattered.

Chu Tiange was extremely worried.

She secretly guessed that maybe Xiao Qingqian had already sensed the relationship between Chu Yin and herself, which was why he intentionally provoked Chu Yin tonight.

”Seventh Brother, you just need to endure tonight. As long as we leave the Northern Kingdom, you will have plenty of opportunities to trample Prince Chu beneath your feet!”

Chu Yin frowned as he looked at Chu Tiange, his eyes full of self-blame.

Chu Tiange held onto his hand, ”Don't let anyone catch you red-handed!”

Chu Yin looked at Wei Qing one last time and forced himself to look away.

Wei Qing had also been looking at Chu Yin this entire time, and her eyes were filled with worry. Feeling Xiao Qingqian's cold gaze on her face, Wei Qing hurriedly turned her gaze away.

Xiao Qingqian was extremely jealous at the moment!

The coldness around him grew stronger and stronger, and he wished that he could punish Wei Qing well.

Not far away, Xiao Hanqi shook the wine cup in his hand with interest.

”The emperor and queen have arrived!”

Hearing the chorus from afar, everyone got up and kneeled down.

Old Emperor had a face full of smiles, his eyes quickly swept across the group of people, ”Everyone, rise!”

Since it was a banquet to invite Ambassador of the South, and Chu Yin was about to leave the Northern Kingdom, Old Emperor naturally couldn't avoid a conversation.

With a table full of fine wine and delicious dishes, if it was in the past, Wei Qing would definitely be interested in the food and eat without care for her image.

But after hearing what Xiao Qingqian said, she really did not have any appetite.

Xiao Qingqian glanced at her, then said softly, ”With a stern face, do you want everyone to know that this duke has treated you poorly?”

Wei Qing looked up at him, his eyes filled with anger.

Xiao Qingqian frowned, and pinched a piece of pastry, he placed it next to her mouth.

Everyone looked over, the dancers in the middle were no longer able to attract their attention.

Old Emperor smiled dubiously, and whispered something to the empress.

Although the empress had a smirk on her lips, her smile did not reach her eyes. She looked past the crowd and met Xiao Hanqi's gaze.

Xiao Hanqi curled his lips, today, Xiao Qingqian was truly playing a good role, but what exactly was hidden behind the wild dog food was truly intriguing!

His gaze landed on Chu Yin's face, only to see him drinking wine cup by cup, the interest in his eyes growing increasingly stronger.

”Father, these dancers are really boring to perform these dances!” Xiao Hanqi lowered the smile on his face and said.

The Old Emperor frowned, ”Does the crown prince have any good suggestions?”

”Royal Father, since today is the day to welcome the Ambassador of the South, then we will send the Seventh Prince back to the Southern Kingdom! ”This son thinks that this atmosphere can be made more lively!”
