Chapter 75 (1/2)

The emperor seemed to be in high spirits, chatting and laughing with the ”night emperor” around him. The man occasionally responded with one or two sentences, which were all up to the point, but listening to the voice -

it should be a young man.

The emperor and his party went directly into the inner hall and took their seats on the throne.

All the rituals are the same as in previous years. After a large set of red tape, the banquet is even opened. Yan Jinning couldn't help looking up at the direction of the inner hall. The Chengtian hall was very large, which was said to be the inner and outer halls, but they were far apart. She couldn't see the specific appearance of the man on the seat, but the lamp shadow was flickering. Half of his face was covered with cold iron, which reflected the cold light of the forest, which made people brave.

Yan Jinning was more and more surprised.

Because of the emperor's presence, the people in this hall have always been more restrained, even talking in a whisper between the adjacent tables.

At that time, there were also two young officials sitting at a table next to them. They were covering their mouths with handkerchiefs and biting their ears.

A man said, ”is that the emperor of Nanyue? How old are you? ”

”Well! It's said that it's only in his early twenties, but I heard from my father that although he's still young, he's very skillful. Their court in the South moon is different from ours. Everyone is afraid of him. ” The other one will take over.

”His face, his mask --”

”I don't know about this, it seems that it is destroyed...”

The night emperor is very mysterious, and these ladies in Dongling will not know too much inside information.

Yan Jinning listens to two ears casually, also don't want to waste spirit again.

This evening, she just took a drink when the emperor toasted at the opening ceremony. But at this moment, she could see the emperor, situ Ming, empress Cong and Princess Nankang.

These people, she does not like, even some from the bottom of her heart hate, when even feel chest tightness, some emotional depression want to burst.

”Grandmother, I seem a little drunk. Go to the door and wake up. I'll be back in a minute.” After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively. Yan Jinning turned to be humane to me.

The old lady looked at her look was really not very good, so she nodded, ”there are many people in this palace today. Don't go too far. You can come back after ventilation.”

”Good!” Yan Jinning nodded, got up and left the table, quietly went out of the hall from the side door.

The night wind is blowing outside.

Just now, the atmosphere in the hall was still very hot. She shivered when the wind blew.

Lingyu quickly said, ”Miss, wait here first. I'll go in and get your cloak.”

”Well!” Yan Jinning nodded.

Lingyu turned to enter the hall.

Yan Jinning went out for two steps, and was blown by the cold wind. Her oppressive discomfort was relieved a little, and her spirit was better, but she suddenly smelled that there was a faint fragrance of wine in the night wind.

Surprised in her heart, she followed the smell and looked for it all the way along the corridor. Turning the corner in front of her, she saw a man sitting on the railing in a listless mood.

The robe and jade belt are beautiful.

But --

was it situ yuan?

In the middle of the night, on such an occasion, why did he come here alone? And when did he come out?

Situ yuan is not very approachable. In this case, most people would take a detour when they saw him.

So he didn't look back when he heard the footsteps. He thought the visitor would disappear automatically, but she didn't move.

Situ yuan turned his head impatiently. Seeing that it was her, he lost his temper.

”Why are you here?” said Yan Jinning

”It's so stuffy inside. I'll come out and breathe.” Situ yuan Dao, leaning against the pillar, did not move. He picked up the wine cup beside him, poured a cup of wine for himself, and then lowered his head slowly.

Yan Jinning hesitated for a moment, went over and sat down in front of him.

Situ yuan raised his eyes and looked at her again, ”how did you come out?”

”I don't like that kind of occasion.” Yan Jinning road.

Situyuan chuckled at the corner of his lip, but nodded with deep sympathy, ”yes, there are distinguished guests visiting today, and the atmosphere inside is even more restrained.”

Yan Jinning suddenly thought of the mysterious night emperor who was sitting on the throne in the palace. He could not help but ask, ”the one inside --”

”night inclines to China?” Situyuan followed her gaze and looked back to the direction of Chengtian hall. He said carelessly: ”you should have heard of the Nanyue kingdom in the south of Dongling kingdom. He is the emperor of the South moon, and he is called the night emperor. You wonder why he is equal to my father? He -- ”

he said, then he chuckled and nodded,” there is such capital indeed. ”

That man was the king of a country in the South moon. It really makes sense only in terms of his identity, but -

”did Nanyue have any contact with our Chaozhong before? Why before - ”after thinking about it, Yan Jinning still felt strange.Not only before, but also in her previous life, she could not remember the intersection between Nanyue and Dongling, but this time, how did the emperor of Nanyue come in person?

”No Situ yuan shook his head, drank up the wine in the cup, and then poured another cup.

”Then he came here this time -” maybe it was the night emperor who looked so mysterious that Yan Jinning couldn't help being curious. ”The national letter sent in advance just said that he was interested in the local people of Dongling and wanted to take advantage of the new year to participate in the celebration. This is a kind of show of kindness. As you know, the south of Qiongzhou, where your elder brother is stationed, is Nanyue's territory. Nanyue has risen rapidly in more than ten years, and can almost stand side by side with China and Korea. Naturally, it is better to make friends with them than to be enemies. ” Si Tu yuan explained.

Yan Jinning didn't pay much attention to state affairs before, so he asked, ”I read in books before. The history of the Nanyue clan is also a long-standing one. How could it have happened more than ten years ago? At that time, what happened?”

”Well!” Situ yuan nodded, but because it was none of his business, he laughed in a good mood and stressed: ”a big event!”

Yan Jinning's appetite was suspended by him, and he frowned and glared at him.

She is usually so obedient and obedient that she seldom shows her true disposition.

Seeing her appearance, situ yuan couldn't help but amuse her and said, ”want to hear the story?”

”Can't you speak?” Yan Jinning didn't think much about it, so he only regarded it as a sensitive topic, which was hard to tell her.

She has always been sensible, thinking of coming out for a while, she got up to go back.

In a daze, situ yuan reached for her wrist from under his sleeve.

It may be because he drank the wine. The heat in his palm was amazing. With such a strong pull, Yan Jinning could not stand stably and fell directly into his arms.

Strong wine gas, Yan Jinning face brush a red, immediately to break free.

With the wine cup in his hand, situ yuan only confined her with his arm. The more she struggled, he deliberately refused to let go.
