C9 100 Years of Love (1/2)

”Forget it, how can I bear to blame you?” Nangong Yu turned his head to look at the woman beside his. His acting skills were quite realistic.

Qi He couldn't help but feel envious of the loving couple. He walked over to Nangong Yu's side and smiled sweetly, ”I knew that Imperial Uncle would say in the imperial court that you like Imperial Aunt very much.”

Shangguan Wan quietly snuggled up to Nangong Yu, not saying a word. Did she really like her? Mhmm, I like it so much that I want to kill her and feed her to the wolves.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan wished she could quickly find the Aral Dawn Wood and leave this troublesome place. More importantly, she wished she could leave this man with a human's face and a beast's heart.

Nangong Yu's brows slightly creased, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, ”Wei He, what is it that you're talking about?”

Without hesitation, Qi He replied, ”What else could it be? It's the grand ceremony.”

Nangong Yu unconsciously cast a glance at the woman beside her, only to see that she didn't seem to care at all.

What was she thinking? For such a huge matter, she acted as if nothing had happened when she heard about it. Was she really so indifferent to fame and fortune? He didn't understand her.

Qi He continued to speak, ”I've heard that you've saved a lot of time and money by ordering the Ministry of Rites and Rites. Qi He thought you were joking. The more grand and magnificent I've sealed it, the better, so that other countries can see my grandeur!”

Qi He had always been straightforward in front of Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu also liked how direct she was, but today, she had gone a little too far.

”How could he not know that Jun Wu Yi was lying? Since I have opened my mouth, how can I take it back?” Nangong Yu shook his sleeves, his expression solemn.

Qi He knew that his royal uncle had been angered, so he lowered his head and did not make a sound. He stood on the spot, twisting his fingers.

Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, Shangguan Wan hastily tried to smooth things over. She turned to Nangong Yu and said, ”Qi He is still just a child, don't blame her, Your Majesty.”

Since she had already said so, the Emperor should have acted a bit more magnanimously. With a slightly angered expression, he spoke in a softer voice, ”The matters in the imperial court are not something that a little girl like you can handle. I should really advise my royal brother to teach you well.”

Qi He nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, and smiled apologetically.

Shangguan Wan helped Nangong Yu to sit down and served him a cup of tea. With a sweet and clear voice, she said, ”Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal.”

This was only in front of outsiders. If the two of them were to get along in private, it was likely that they would have already begun.

Nangong Yu received it and removed the porcelain cover to confirm that there was no mistake. Only then did he relax and drink.

Look, he was wary of her.

At this moment, Qiao Xin came in with a plate of lychee and reported, ”Your Majesty, Empress, Princess, this was sent over by the Internal Affairs Bureau.”

Nangong Yu put down his teacup and smiled, ”I remember Qi He loves eating lychee, so let's eat a little more now.”

Wei He was a bit depressed at first, but now that he had something to eat, his worries were cleared. He put the lychee one by one into his mouth. That greedy look of his was really pleasing.
