In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of August of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Such a festival celebrated by the whole world, and the palace was even more lively. According to the custom, the emperor would give a banquet to his ministers and their families, and the kings and ministers would have fun and gather together.

And naturally he will go to the palace for a banquet, but this year he is no longer alone, and Han Xiao will also go with him. Since I saw him in a hurry in the Prince's East Palace a few days ago, and Yu was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Han Xi's attitude towards him. And this kind of wrongness is very strict, like a ghost and ghost, spreading between the two of them, forming an invisible shackle, pulling him and the cold tide farther and farther away.

And he thought to himself, he must find a suitable opportunity to talk to Hanxi in private. If there is really any misunderstanding, it is better to solve it in time. The Mid-Autumn Festival feast is an excellent time, there are many people, but it is not easy to be found out that he has left the table halfway.

As soon as the time passed, the sky had just darkened, and the ministers entered the palace with their families. Everywhere in the palace, you can see palace lamps covered with red gauzes. These gauzes were specially purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the celebration of the festive season, and they were just put on early this morning. When night falls, the palace lights come on one after another. The palace is full of light, and the candlelight is far more than the moonlight, but it is a bit noisy.

Han Xiao held her arms, folded her hands in front of her chest, and walked towards the palace with the other ladies in a regular manner. She looked at the wives and ladies of these ministers' families, all of whom were carefully dressed, and no one wanted to lose their face. Those who can enter the palace for the banquet are all the wives and mothers of the family. And often these wives are no longer graced, and they just have a name. Outside, they still have to show their love for their husbands. How many of them are not alone in the empty room, watching their husbands linger in the room of the beautiful young lady every night?

Han Xiao didn't know why she suddenly thought of this, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Is it because she is now also a nominal wife? Living with Jiyu in the past few days has always made her feel in a trance. Undoubtedly, it is indeed clean and beautiful. However, what is his identity for him? The person he nominally married into the door was actually Chen Erxin. And what he was thinking in his heart was her sister Hanxi. As for herself, she is nothing more than holding the title of Er Xin, stubbornly trying to squeeze into his heart, his life, and then expel the cold tide.

The banquet was held at the Qianqiu Lake in Shanglin Garden. Directly south is a gorgeous desk with the emperor's throne and the queen's phoenix. The position of the crown prince and the crown princess is on the right side of the desk, and the position of Situ Xi and the eldest princess of Chengping is on the left. It can be seen that Situ Xi's status is really above 10,000 people under one person. The desk is down in turn to the positions of the palace concubines, princes, and princes. Around the embankment, there are hundreds of low tables, which are for the ministers and their dependents. On each low table, a lotus-shaped palace lamp is burned. The higher the official position, the more prominent the person, the closer he sat to the desk.

Because Yu is the only son of Situ Xi, although he has not yet been knighted, his status is more prominent than that of ordinary ministers. Naturally, the position of him and Han Xiao is also very close to the emperor's desk. Han Xiao sat down beside Heyu, but found that Jiyu, who had always been as calm as water, was a little different today. His expression looked a little nervous and anxious, and his eyes searched around the prince, desperately looking for something. Han Xiao's originally warm heart suddenly seemed to fall into a bottomless ice abyss.

Yes, he's searching for Coldtide! Except for her sister Hanxi, who else in this world can make and encounter such restlessness?

As soon as she thought of this, Han Xiao only felt that the qi and blood in her body were surging, and anger instantly filled her heart! Her gaze instantly became cold and terrifying, and there was a faint murderous aura. But after a moment, she was startled by the resentment that suddenly burst out of her. That's the cold tide, her own sister! Even if the person she loves in her heart is her, it's not Hanxi's fault!

Remorse and guilt replaced anger, and the fire of namelessness was gradually suppressed. Han Xiao was a little afraid in her heart, and she had become more and more moody recently. Before going crazy, you can control it with a little attention. But since the power of the dragon god in his body was released and the seal was lifted, Yiqiē's senses seemed to have been magnified. Even the symptoms of his own enchantment, there is a tendency to get worse! The more Han Xiao thought about it, the more frightened she became, she lost her mind for a while, and she didn't notice Situ Xi, who was on the seat, and she was keenly aware of something.

"What's wrong?" The eldest princess of Chengping felt a sudden shock from her husband, as if she had discovered something unusual. She tilted her head curiously and asked with a little concern, "Ah Xi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Just now, at that moment, it was incredible, he actually felt a trace of the power of the dragon god that he had not seen for a long time! Situ Xi sat in place, but it was like being struck by lightning!

How is it possible, since Nangong Shu sealed the entire Nine Heavens Divine Palace with the death of his body and soul, there is no longer the power of the Dragon God in this world. But at that moment just now, in the midst of this crowd, I don't know who inadvertently leaked that familiar and terrifying power?

It's just that that moment was too short, fleeting, so fast that Situ Xi was in a trance. It should be, it's just an illusion. This kind of thing can never happen! Nangong Shu is dead, and his and Ah Yan's blood should have died in that war a long time ago. After so many years, he had been at peace, and if someone had the power of the dragon god, he would have been able to detect it a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Situ Xi smiled indifferently and shook his head at Chengping: "It's okay, my heart tingled just now, and now it's fine." ”

It's just that Hanxi did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. She is just a small female official, and it stands to reason that she is not qualified enough to participate. Situ Mu asked her if she wanted to go and could arrange her place. I thought that Hanxi had just entered the palace, and he would be very much looking forward to experiencing such a banquet for the first time. Unexpectedly, she refused on the grounds that she was unwell.

And naturally he couldn't find Hanxi's figure at the banquet, which made him a little frustrated, so he had to toast the emperor and empress with the hundred officials.

After the toast, the banquet became much more casual. Situ Bi was thinking about the new medicine in the Dan furnace, so he had no intention of staying for a long time and left the table early. The rest was the queen and the crown prince presiding over the banquet, and everyone began to gossip. The ministers, who had a good relationship on weekdays, began to drink and chat in twos and threes. The ladies were more reserved, and most of them sat aside. Occasional conversations, they are also praising how gorgeous the clothes and ornaments of the queen and her concubines are, how delicate their skin is, and so on. Han Xiao only felt very bored, so she broke open a piece of moon cake and tasted it boringly.

And Yu suddenly came over and said, "I want to go out for a walk, but I'm really bored." ”

Han Xiao stagnated, and immediately reacted, and when he met the so-called "walk", he was actually looking for the cold tide. For a while, the mooncakes filled with hundreds of fruits in the mouth also became bitter and unpalatable, like eating coptis. She forced a smile and looked up at him, "Well, you can go." If anyone asks, I will answer and say that you are not strong enough to drink, so there is no need to worry. ”R1152
