CHAPTER 69

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chao Yan and Lei Yao deliberately entered the palace earlier, and Lei Xiao said that they must celebrate together this year. They went to the Shiso Palace first, because the princess said that she wanted to have a good chat with Princess Gong.

Xiyan lazily got up from the bed, and watched Yuexiang and Qiu Ying busy preparing clothes and headdresses over there. If she could, she wouldn't want to be on that occasion at all.

Begonia red palace dress, charming and charming, the skin can be blown and broken, the eyebrows are picturesque, the natural pink lip color exudes a seductive luster, the hands and feet are confident and calm, the strand of hair hanging lightly, and there have been a few more softness, staring at her, you will understand what is called "vivid", she sat there quietly, and the people next to her were eclipsed.

When Lei Xiao came in, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. There was not a trace of her fall from grace. Shiso thought to himself. Her eyes swept over all the women in the banquet, the most eye-catching thing was not Xiyan, only Xiyan might keep her eyes. Shiso hadn't seen Xiyan in a while. Since the king decreed that the four princes should be raised by himself, Xiyan has not appeared in front of her once, only heard that she fell to the ground and cried bitterly, but she still obeyed the king's will. thought that Xiyan would be haggard and aggrieved, but now, she really wants to look at Xiyan differently, she is still beautiful and full of vitality, as if nothing can damage her in the slightest.

Chao Yan paid attention to Lei Yao without leaving a trace, he looked as usual, but he didn't dare to face Xi Yan, his eyes stayed on the wine glass in front of him. Xiyan made a gesture with her, and the greeting between their sisters was known. Chao Yan smiled back. She heard that Xiyan's situation was not good, and she was snubbed by the king after returning from the border, and now even the children are being raised by the princess. When she tentatively talked to Lei Yao, he didn't react at the time, but that night, he practiced all night in the backyard. She stood in the cold hallway, watching him torture himself like a vent. There must be something she didn't know, and they wouldn't let her know. A secret that belongs to them. This realization pained her. The double betrayal is the person she loves the most. She couldn't ask, she didn't dare to ask, and if that was an answer she couldn't accept, what would happen after that?

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Chao Yan calmed down and asked her husband beside her in a low voice.

"Oh," Lei Yao seemed to be suddenly startled, but he immediately hid his confusion with a smile, "What?"

"I see you've been drinking and not talking, so I'm a little worried. Chao Yan said softly.

"Nothing, thinking about things in the army. Lei Yao patted her hand and smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry. ”

"That's good. Chao Yan didn't say more. She looked at her husband, the man she loved dearly, with some obsession.

Before the banquet, several princes were also brought over by the maids. The youngest Lei Zhan was personally picked up by Lei Xiao. Lei Zhan sat in his father's arms, and his childish and cute words made the people around him laugh. Lei Xiao made no secret of his love for him and gave his most beloved accessories to Lei Zhan. Zi Su saw it, a little uncomfortable, that pendant, the eldest prince asked several times, Lei Xiao refused to cut his love, now it's good, Lei Zhan didn't do anything, but he easily got it. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and comforted the eldest prince next to her, who was already a little angry.

Xiyan looked at Lei Zhan from afar, smiling and listening to his childish voice, her child was getting farther and farther away from her. The others swept her inquiringly, and she endured it patiently, never letting anyone know what was going on in her heart. Lei Zhan had a good time, he didn't understand the difference between his mother and his mother, at his age, eating and playing were the biggest things, what else did it matter?

Lei Yao's gaze swept over Xi Yan, she seemed to be a heartless person, and there was no sadness on her face. In the midst of this joyous crowd, she is more like a beautiful background.
