Ling Ziyue took a complicated look at the two on the seats of honor and then looked at the fake Prince Ming Yue.
Noticing his gaze, the fake Prince Ming Yue said in a hurry, "Your majesty, this matter..."
However, Yun Shang didn't give him any chance. "Prince Ming Yue..."
"Maybe you don't know much about the State of Xia. His majesty only has me in his harem." Then she smiled again, "Of course, if his majesty really likes someone else and wants to marry her, I will accept it."
"But I will never allow anyone to plot against me."
Yun Shang slightly raised her head and said, "I won't blame anyone randomly, so I want to ask you carefully where the inexplicable gossip last night came from. The eighth princess, can you answer this question?"
Panic was written all over the faces of Ling Lanyu, the eightth princess of the State of Youyue. She seemed to be about to cry, and her eyes involuntarily swept over the fake Shan Xian and the real Prince Ming Yue.
Seeing all the reactions of Ling Lanyu, Ling Ziyue clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Without the support of Ling Ziyue, Ling Lanyu's body trembled slightly. "I... I... "
"I just want to ask you whom you went to the lantern show with last night. Who was it? Is it so difficult to answer this question? "
"Or my previous conjecture is true? Last night, the eighth princess, to be exact, the State of Youyue, deliberately did it, in order to set up a trap for his majesty so that his majesty had to accept you into the palace?"
Ling Lanyu gritted her teeth, "No, your majesty misunderstood."
Ling Lanyu clenched her hands in her sleeves and said, "That man is just an ordinary person I know in the State of Xia. He just has a similar appearance to his majesty..."
"In fact, they don't look like each other very much. But last night when something happened, it was a little dark and someone was mistaken. We also refuted at that time, but no one heard it. "
"And it happened too suddenly. It was in a mess at that time. We just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so we didn't notice too much."
"Oh?" Yun Shang smiled, "It turns out that you didn't ask someone to disguise as his majesty, right?"
"No, it's not like that." Ling Lanyu denied in a hurry.
"Your highness said that the person who went to the lantern show with you at that time was an ordinary citizen of the State of Xia? But I heard that your highness were very intimate with that man at the lantern show? "
"Is it because your highness loves him so much that you can appear in front of others without scruple?" Yun Shang looked at Ling Lanyu with a faint smile, "It's an honor that an ordinary person in the State of Xia could be favored by your highness."
"I wonder what your highness is going to do with him. After all, he is a citizen of the State of Xia. If you really love him, I and his majesty can arrange the marriage... "
As Yun Shang spoke, she turned to Luo Qingyan and said, "His Majesty can give him a title, and then he can marry your highness openly."
"In this way, your highness can be considered to be a member of the State of Xia. In the future, the State of Xia and the State of Youyue can naturally make an alliance."
Embarrassed, Ling Lanyu said, "No... No, thanks. "
Then she glanced at Ling Ziyue and continued, "I... I can't decide my own marriage. I have to report it to father and mother. "
I won't look down upon any woman in the future.'
Except for this, the banquet went smoothly. In the middle of the banquet, Chengye quietly pulled Luo Qingyan's sleeve.
Luo Qingyan lowered his head and raised her eyebrows.
Chengye blinked and lowered his voice, "Father, I'm going back to fetch the gift for you. Do you want to go with me?"
Without waiting for Luo Qingyan's answer, Yun Shang said first, "Let's go together. I'm curious what kind of gift you will prepare for your father."
Chengye chuckled, as if he was very confident in his gift. "I made it myself. father will definitely like it."
Although he hadn't seen what it was, Luo Qingyan still showed respect, "Yes, I'll like it."
Then he turned to Yun Shang, "Your majesty, do you still owe me a birthday gift?"
Yun Shang certainly knew that Luo Qingyan was talking about the thing she embroidered herself. She only tutted and said, "Your majesty, how many times have you mentioned? I'm not as old as your majesty. I'm not suffering from Alzheimer's disease. I don't forget it. "
"That's good. I was afraid you would forget it." Luo Qingyan didn't care about Yun Shang's tease at all. He just nodded casually, "Let's go. Let's withdraw first. I'll go to see what gift Chengye have prepared for me, and then see your majesty's gift later."
The banquet was in half-way and all the guests were enjoying themselves. It was not a big deal for them to leave. Yun Shang nodded and let Luo Qingyan pull her up.
