Chapter 25: Sentimental
The lights in the palace give this palace a bit of smoke and fire in this palace city, which usually exudes cold at night.
The dinner was held in the Shoude Palace, which can be regarded as a special banquet hall in the palace and an excellent place to entertain the ministers. It's just that no one remembers exactly what the convention began that year.
After all, this place is indeed suitable for banquets, the hall is wide and empty, and when there is nothing to do, the palace ladies are the most willing to clean here. But there is a banquet today, and the situation in the Shoude Hall is naturally different from usual, and the empty room is full of tables in an orderly manner. There were some pastries and drinks on it.
No one has come to the banquet hall yet, so the palace ladies are busy. Whether the table is neatly arranged, whether the direction of the items placed on the table is consistent, and whether there is a small problem, they have to consider it for a long time.
Finally, large and small vehicles slowly gathered outside the hall, and the crowd began to slowly move towards the hall. The palace maids, who were still busy just now, stood in their positions in an instant, like well-trained dancers.
Everyone's in place, and the show is staged.
First, people with slightly lower official positions began to enter, and then they consciously sat in inconspicuous corners. It is said that the official position is low, but the lowest is also the third-grade official in the court, and the position rises little by little, and the more people sit forward.
The two families of Lehou and Fenghou sat next to each other because of their newly promoted in-laws, and Xiao Jue sat opposite and waited for his father and second brother. After that, King Xian came in, and after greeting the Marquis and the Marquis of Le, he sat in the third place on the right.
Xuanyuan Hao, accompanied by Xiao Xiangzi, happily ran to Fenghou, and Lehou said a few words on the side. Until Yang Gonggong shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!" A bright yellow figure walked outside the hall, followed by General Xiao, Xiao Xun and the three princes who had not appeared for a long time.
The ministers knelt down and chanted "Your Majesty XiΓ Sheng'an". Feng Hou looked indifferent, and Le Hou looked at the people on both sides of the emperor, and the meaning was unknown.
The emperor sat on the throne, "All the ministers are flat." β

The night is bright and the stars are sparse, and the plum trees in the courtyard are swaying their dead branches vigorously. The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, dappled and scattered. Chu Yueqing stood in the courtyard and looked at the starry sky overhead, the moon seemed to be much brighter than what she saw in modern times.
Today, the moon is still very round, but she has a sense of being out of this world. More than half a month ago, she was still disgusted at home that the mooncakes bought by her mother were not delicious, and four days ago she was shopping with her girlfriends to eat and watch movies. But now she is a stranger in a place she knows nothing about, living in a strange country.
Even with Yueqing's memory, even if she had seen such a scene in a dream, she still had no sense of belonging.
She actually didn't want to accept Yueqing's memories, and she didn't want to know what she saw in the "dream", so maybe she could live more wantonly, maybe she could withdraw from here. Instead of being in a crisis like today, but not being ruthless to leave.
"Qingqing~" Xuanyuan Hao's voice came from the entrance of the courtyard, and Chu Yueqing grabbed himself back from his cranky thoughts. I don't want to, just let it be.
"You're back." Chu Yueqing smiled at Xuanyuan Hao and welcomed him into the house.
"Hmm." Xuanyuan Hao agreed weakly, strode to the desk and sat down. Holding a book in his hand, he flipped through the pages page by page.
Chu Yueqing looked at this series of actions in amazement, she was hurt by the moon today, what happened to him? Wasn't he invited to the palace for a dinner party?
Chu Yueqing instinctively looked at Xiao Xiangzi, hoping that he could explain why. However, Xiao Xiangzi bowed and retired.
Xiao Xiangzi, who bowed his head and retired, was also very helpless, royal affairs, how could he and other servants talk about it at will~
Chu Yueqing walked over and stood aside silently. Thinking about how to persuade him, why don't you start from the side, "Do you have anything interesting to do when you enter the palace today?" β
"......." did not answer, only the candle flame on the desk flickered left and right.
"Or is someone angry with you? You sue me, let's go to his parents tomorrow. β
"......" was still quiet, except for the sound of the two of them breathing and turning books.
Well, she stared at the dancing candle flame in a daze.
"They all laughed at me." There was a slight hoarseness in his voice, as if he was trying to suppress some emotion.
The sudden answer made Chu Yueqing dazed for a moment, "What are you laughing at?" After understanding thoroughly, he hurriedly said: "Don't pay attention to them!" β
Xuanyuan Hao suddenly hugged her, and Chu Yueqing heard his low sob. It's different from the last time I was infected by her, but this time it seems to be really sad.
"What's wrong" Chu Yueqing asked in a low voice, in her humble opinion, even if someone was dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Hao, they should be playing some tricks in secret. I will never be too difficult for him on the surface.
"Father, father doesn't seem to like Hao'er anymore."
It turned out to be a parent's problem, and this jealousy is really only done by children.
"No, my father must like you, there must be too many people attending the banquet today. The emperor can't take care of it. β
"However, when I talked to my father, he didn't pay much attention to me. He always talks to the Three Emperor Brothers, some questions that I don't understand. There are also six brothers and seven brothers, and I don't think they play with me anymore. And my cousin, they only let me be good. Xuanyuan Hao excitedly told about the injustice he encountered at the banquet.
"Well, that's their fault, our Xiaohao is so good. How can you ignore our Xiao Hao, otherwise, let's go to Fenghou Mansion tomorrow to find my cousin, and beat him! β
"Don't go, don't go, I don't want to go! I don't want to go! Xuanyuan Hao's love became even more excited, and his voice was several times louder.
Chu Yueqing had to comfort him hard, "Okay, Xiao Hao said that if he doesn't go, he won't go." β
Xiao Xiangzi, who was guarding outside the courtyard, looked at the lonely stars in the sky, and sighed incessantly: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" "It's a pity that the fifth prince should be the pride of the sky, but now he has become an idiot. It's a pity that the emperor's favor for the five princes can't change this established fate.
Ay! The things of this world are something that I, a little eunuch, can understand. He just needs to serve his prince and princess with peace of mind. Thinking about the temperament of the prince and princess, he can probably enjoy his old age in peace. Although the palace is prosperous, it is impossible to say that one day a small life will not be saved.
Xiao Xiangzi trembled and went back to his room, speaking of which he was actually quite lucky. This great imperial city is only able for him to come out and live as a eunuch.
The carriages and horses of the Shoude Hall gradually decreased, and the palace was once again deserted in this night. Lehou finally seized the opportunity, and hurriedly chased after the person in front of him: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao!" β
The person who called was General Xiao, who had just returned to the dynasty, "Lehou, what's the matter?" The statement was simple and straightforward, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk to anyone who came.
Hou Ye Le sighed, "Brother Xiao is still blaming me, but the Li family asked me to marry it in Qinyu." β
