Chapter 969 The Royal Family Of The State Of Xia Is Doomed (1/2)
After the music ”Ode to the time of peace and prosperity”, the dancers entered the hall. Yun Shang then heard another piece of music entiled ”The green waist” come out and the girls danced with its beautiful tune. The girls' bodies were so soft as soap, so beautiful and so charming.
The maids served a hot dish. Luo Qingyan lowered his head and picked up a piece of sparerib for Yun Shang. He smiled and said, ”I used to eat this dish in the Taiji Palace a few days ago. I thought it tasted good, and I hoped you to have a taste of it. But I forgot it. Today, I finally saw it.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang was quite moved.. She lowered her head and ate it. The spareribs were fried, crispy and fragrant. As Luo Qingyan said, they tasted good.
Yun Shang was enjoying her meal when she felt someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw a woman was staring at her over there. That woman didn't withdraw her gaze until she noticed Yun Shang's glance.
Yun Shang's expression changed slightly, but the smile at the corners of her mouth turned a little cold. She remembered that the woman was the daughter of Li Ye's, who was on the list of the Autumn Test. At the banquet after the last autumn test, this woman showed an extreme interest in Luo Qingyan in front of her, and also provoked her by the way. Yun Shang didn't take it seriously at that time, but now the woman seemed to still have something that shouldn't have been in her eyes just now. She appeared to be very persistent.
The courtiers present took the opportunity to drink a lot, so after a few songs and dances, some people began to be bold. They raised their glasses and walked unsteadily towards Luo Qingyan.
”Your Majesty, your majesty is so wise and mighty. I'd like to propose a toast to you,” an official said. Yun Shang didn't recognize the official. Judging from the color of his robe, his rank should be above the third grade.
The corners of Luo Qingyan's mouth curled up slightly. He raised his glass and said, ”I heard that Lord Sun is seldom drunk. I'd like to have a look today. Let me empty my glass first.”
Luo Qingyan raised her head and drank up all the wine in his glass.
Seeing this, Lord Sun laughed and said, ”Great! Your Majesty is so forthright. I really admire you.”
Since someone had started, the officials in the hall were no longer restrained, and there were many of them coming to propose a toast. Luo Qingyan didn't refuse. They just greeted each other with a few words, and then drank up.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the woman who had been staring at her. She also wore a long carmine dress today. In the late winter, the dress looked very thin, but more elegant than others.
She didn't know what she was thinking and kept touching the glass in front of her. Yun Shang smiled and turned her attention away.
