350 Eldest Brother Is Like Tang Sanzang’s Flesh That Is Targeted by Demons
At night, thin clouds lingered beside a curved moon.
The water of Penglai Lake was sparkling, refracting light blue waves.
The red walls and green tiles of the Xiangli Palace made it look like a paradise on earth.
It was the late spring and early summer, and clusters of fireflies fluttered in the grass.
At this moment, in the palace hall, Gu Yihan was leading the civil and military officials, consorts, and princes to drink at the banquet. As they drank, laughter filled the place.
Gu Nuo’er was originally in Gu Yihan’s arms, sitting on the dragon throne with him and enjoying the delicacies.
However, the child couldn’t sit still and look around from time to time.
At this moment, a girl dressed in a fluttery and extremely beautiful white dress entered with light steps.
“Your Majesty, this subject, Song Youyun, wants to perform a dance for the Grace Defender Duke and the First Prince to welcome them back to the capital. Your Majesty, can you allow this?”
Gu Nuo’er immediately put down the chicken drumstick in her small hand and blinked her watery eyes at the beauty at the bottom of the jade steps.
Song Youyun was Song Qiyuan and Song Youqing’s elder sister!
The empress and Noble Consort Qiao also looked over. During the banquet, General Song and his wife were beaming with pride.
The officials looked at Gu Yihan’s expression tacitly.
There had long been rumors that the eldest daughter of the Song Family, Song Youyun, was almost 18 years old. Even now, she still refused to discuss marriage because she wanted to marry the first prince.
The Song family had nurtured her meticulously just so that if the first prince could become the crown prince in the future, she would be the crown princess. If nothing unexpected happened, she would become an empress in the future!
It wasn’t easy for the Song family to wait for the first prince, Gu Zixiao, to return to the capital. Now that he was at a good age for marriage, the emperor and empress would definitely consider his marriage.
This was a good opportunity to perform and take the limelight!
Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He only lowered her head and asked the child in her arms, “Nuo’er, do you want to see this Miss Song dance?”
Gu Nuo’er’s clear eyes swept over. Her gaze was crystal clear and her face was fair.
The child carefully sized up Song Youyun’s face and sighed in her heart.
This one wouldn’t do either!
However, she still waved her small hand and said softly, “Let her dance then!”
Only then did Gu Yihan look up at Song Youyun, who was standing in the center. “Since the princess has agreed, you can dance.”
The eldest daughter of the Song family, who looked skilled and gentle on the surface, was actually a little unhappy.
This dance was mainly for the first prince to watch. Why did the emperor have to ask the little princess if she wanted to watch it?
However, she didn’t dare to show the unhappiness on her face. Moreover, no matter what, if the emperor was willing to agree to this, the rest of the matters would be easy to handle.
After a while, Song Youyun changed into a thin red dress.
Her every frown and smile was filled with the feeling of a beauty that was like jade.
The musician next to her played a drumbeat filled with exotic charm. Song Youyun stepped on the beat and danced beautifully.
Gu Nuo’er had finished the drumstick and looked at Song Youyun’s slender waist before looking down at her bulging stomach.
Oh… Burp. She was full.
Song Youyun’s charming eyes were like silk. When she slowly approached the table where the first prince was, she wanted to twist her foot and deliberately fall into the first prince’s arms.
However, just as she tilted her body and was about to fall, she suddenly realized—
Eh? Why couldn’t she move? It was as if someone was holding her up.
Song Youyun tried her best, but it was useless. She couldn’t bend any further.
In everyone’s eyes, Song Youyun looked like she was about to break her bones. Her upper body was hanging down exaggeratedly, and her lower body was still standing upright.
Song Youyun was speechless.
What had happened?!
