Chapter Seventy-Four: The Zhongyuan Palace Banquet

When Li Changge returned home, it was already evening when the lights were lit.

The atmosphere in the mansion was not as lively as usual, and more plain and white added a bit of decadence.

When night falls, the dark sky hangs over the top of the clouds like a dark black curtain, which is even more depressing.

Li Changge went directly to the study.

Tuoba sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside, and didn't even give her a look.

There was silence in the room, and there was not a hint of light.

Li Changge stared at him quietly for a long time, and suddenly chuckled: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Or is it that he behaved like that because of impulsiveness in the afternoon, then he should have completely calmed down now.

The light from outside the window poured in through the window, and Tuoba Truss's body seemed to be coated with a layer of light.

He turned his head, his gaze fell to the figure in the shadows, and there was more indifference in his words: "Why ask knowingly? ”

Li Changge held his breath, and in an instant, everything he wanted to say was held back.

The words have already been said at this point, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the back road.

She nodded, and replied, "This is the end of the matter, and the contract between us is over." I hope you can take care of yourself and don't wronged yourself. ”

Without waiting for his response, she moved her wheelchair to the door by herself, pausing for a moment, "Your favorite eight-treasure sauce duck is made in the kitchen, let's eat it while it's hot." ”

The figure behind him seemed to be slightly moved for a moment in the bright light, but no sound came out.

After Li Changge returned to the room, he took a hot bath and went to bed early.

What happened on this day can be said to be unexpected, and the changes are so fast that people don't have a clue.

Turning over and over, she suddenly remembered what the queen said, and now she finally understood what it meant.

At night, there was a cicada chirping, squeaking outside all night.

The next day, just after dawn, Qi Huan knocked on her door.

"Come in." Li Changge had already woken up, or had not slept all night.

Qi Huan pushed the door in and put a letter next to her bed, "The prince has never come out since he used it last night, and when he went to clean the study this morning, he found that he had left, leaving only this letter on the desk in the study. ”

Li Changge rubbed his somewhat sore temples, cheered up, and finished reading the letter.

A letter of resignation, but it was written in her voice.

couldn't help but clench the fragile piece of paper, Li Changge's heart felt like someone was pinched tightly, and there was a bit of suffocating pain.

She quietly folded the letter into its original appearance, and said in an indifferent tone, "Let people pack up their things, and we will move back to the General's Mansion from today." I'll rest here for a while, and then call me in two hours. ”

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Qi Huan didn't dare to ask, and after answering her instructions, he went down to let people prepare.

No one said much about it.

Li Ke is still the same as before, as if she has never been married, and readily accepts the fact that she has returned to live in her home.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

A lot of things are going off track and moving towards something better.

Li Changge did not slump because of Tuoba Truss's departure, on the contrary, she took this opportunity to move forward harder.

"Boss, I still haven't been able to find the whereabouts of the prince." In the huge room, the slightest sound can cause echoes here, and the emptiness makes the tip of the heart tremble.

Li Changge sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window at the snow-covered pool below, a little distracted.

How many times have you heard anything like this?

For more than two years and nights, she has been searching for the whereabouts of Tuoba Truss all the time, but there is no way.

She nodded, and whispered expressionlessly, "What is this place?" ”

"The Frontier Territory, this is already the last area. Sanqi has already arranged for our people all over the country now, and we will definitely be notified immediately if there is news. Xia Yin sighed, when Tuoba Truss left, it was very sudden, and even Sanqi couldn't find his whereabouts.

There was a cold feeling in the air, and even Li Changge's whole person seemed to be frozen into an ice sculpture, and he sat in the same position for a long time.

Xia Yin brought the stove from the side of the table and handed it over, adding a little heat to her.

Li Changge lowered his head slightly and looked at the stove in his hand, "New charcoal?" ”

Xia Yin was silent for a moment, but still told the truth, "It's the silver bone charcoal that the emperor sent to him, and it is said that this charcoal fire can be warm like spring, which can effectively relieve the pain of your leg disease." ”

"What's the use?" She sneered and said slowly: "Warm as spring, can it be spring?" ”

Xia Yin listened from the sidelines, and did not dare to talk casually.

Although this silver bone charcoal is precious, in this peach building, there is something you want but can't get.

In two years, after Li Changge's transformation, Taoyao Building has been transformed from a simple Fengyue Building into an intelligence gathering place.

Hidden under the surface of the wind and snow is the most well-informed organization in the rivers and lakes - Tingfeng Pavilion.

Originally, Li Changge just wanted to use this intelligence network to find someone, who would have thought that he would be able to achieve such an achievement by mistake.

Although the appearance of the person in front of him has not changed at all, the temperament of this mixed body is becoming more and more cold and difficult to approach, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Suddenly, a knock on the door eased her unnaturalness.

Xia Yin hurriedly went to open the door, but the person standing outside the door was the butler of the General's Mansion.

"Is there something wrong with my dad?" Li Changge rarely saw the old housekeeper here, and now he was naturally a little confused.

The old housekeeper grinned, and his smile was extremely bright, "Miss forgot, today is the Shangyuan Festival and the emperor's birthday, so I should enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet." My lord asked me to remind me that there will be tributes from other countries at this year's banquet, but don't delay the time. ”

In a trance, it has reached the Shangyuan Festival.

In the past two years, at this time of year, she has to accompany her father to the palace for a banquet, and then go to the street to watch the lanterns and eat a bowl of hot Lantern Festival on the roadside.

As long as Li Ke can be happy, she is already satisfied.

"I know, I'll be waiting for my father at the palace gate at night." Li Changge paused, and then said, "Butler, you can go back and ask Daddy to bring the congratulatory gift I prepared in the warehouse." ”

The housekeeper retreated, and Xia Yin took the opportunity to leave.

When Qi Huan was called in, she was still in a state of unknown reason, but she already understood most of her demeanor when she saw it.

The costumes for the palace banquet are extremely elaborate and cumbersome, and it is really a headache to make sure that there are no mistakes in every small detail.

Qi Huan lengthened her original eyebrows, and the peak of her eyebrows rose, with a heroic appearance.

The red lips were lightly tapped, and the red color made her skin extraordinarily fair.

A pair of bright autumn pupils, thick black eyes are burning bright, bright like 10,000 stars blooming in the dark night.

Paired with a dark red palace dress and a rabbit fur coat on the outside, the whole person looks extremely noble, and there is an indescribable style.

When they arrived at the palace gate, all the people who came and went had to get off the carriage and walk to the palace.

Tuoba Hongzhang took into account Li Changge's inconvenient legs and feet, so he deliberately asked people to remove a section of the threshold at the entrance of the palace and install a skateboard to facilitate her travel.

By the time she arrived here, Li Ke had been waiting for a long time.

Li Changge rarely attends in front of everyone except for important occasions such as palace banquets, and there are only once or twice a year when he can see her.

Even Tuoba Hongzhang is no exception.

When he saw Li Changge, not only did he not hold the emperor's shelf, but came to greet him.

"Long song, long time no see. I sent someone to send silver bone charcoal, I don't know if you are still used to it? Is your leg still sore this winter, do you want to let the imperial doctor go to see you again? ”

Li Changge had long been accustomed to his enthusiasm, so he didn't feel flattered at the moment.

Even her face didn't fluctuate a bit, "With Emperor Lao's concern, where does Changge deserve such treatment, please don't be extravagant and wasteful next time." ”

Tuoba Hongzhang was about to respond to her words when an extremely noisy voice came from all around.

Looking up, the envoys had already arrived at the hall with congratulatory gifts.

He hurriedly gave an apologetic smile, Li Changge nodded, and motioned for him to deal with national affairs first.

"This kid has a lot of heart!"

Li Ke smiled with a smile on his face, and seemed to walk to her side very happily, looking at the departing back and sighing again and again.

Li Changge looked his father up and down, and said faintly, "If you call the saint of today, if you are heard by the official, you will have good fruit to eat." ”

"I think he wants to be like this," Li Ke didn't care, and joked, "If you want to be my son-in-law, you naturally have to follow my rules." ”

"I'm already married, do I still have to raise my face?" She didn't hesitate to fight back.

This time, Li Ke was choked and touched his nose.

"The two of you are also invited to sit at the banquet, and the palace banquet will start soon, and the palace gate is about to be blocked." A little eunuch respectfully stepped forward and led them to their seats.

dragged Li Changge's blessing, and the seats in the General's Mansion were arranged in the first row, second only to the emperor.

And the dishes on the table were all according to her taste, and these were all conclusions that Tuoba Hongzhang had come to after observing for a long time.

Li Changge smiled, undeniable.

The palace banquet began with the emperor speaking, followed by the envoys paying tribute and sending their respective congratulatory gifts to express their gratitude.
