Chapter 328: The Grand Banquet

Chu Yuan still flinched after all, he looked at the big palace, the breeze was blowing gently, and everyone was flattering and patting the horses, and they were all complimenting He Xingyao unconditionally.

She has now become the lady of the sky, the lord of the world, and she is just a humble courtier, a favorite of the king.

The distance between the lord of the world and the lowly courtiers is like the Milky Way in the sky, separating the two of them from afar, even if each other's hearts are still in one place, but the farther away they are, the more insecure they are.

Chu Yuan finally understood what his mother said at the beginning, like that far away, there would be no hatred between each other, even if it was good, what else did he crave? Even if he really wants to be thirsty, does He Xingyao really need it?

His retreat, although he will be extremely sad in his heart, but Chu Yuan knows that long pain is better than short pain, and the longer some things are entangled, the more unfavorable it will be.

Chu Yuechen personally went to ask He Xingyao that day, planning to let He Xingyao be gracious, she wanted to join hands with Murong Han, that is, Rong Yourin, to return to the mountains and forests and live a quiet and peaceful life.

He Xingyao was extremely troubled by Chu Yuan's refusal at that time, but he didn't expect to meet Chu Yuechen.

She couldn't wait to vent her temper, but she still restrained herself, and just said in a normal tone: "Yuechen, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Chu Yuechen smiled and said, "King, Master Rin and I have always been taken care of by you, but the two of us are not in the court, so I also ask the king for permission to return to our hometown to live in seclusion." ”

He Xingyao originally thought that what she was going to say was something great, but she didn't expect it to be just a trivial matter.

So, she directly waved her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, since you want to go back and live your own life, then I am naturally blessed, but Yuechen, can you wait for half a month before leaving?" I also want you to spend more time with me. ”

After a pause, she continued: "Also, your family's Rin Son, although I don't treat him very well on weekdays, but because of you, I won't have a bad relationship with him at will, and on the day I ascend the throne, you will lead him to appear in front of me, I want to hand you over to him in front of him, let him know that you have the Son of Heaven in the early moon, and if he dares to bully you, I will not spare him no matter what." ”

When she said this, He Xingyao suddenly smiled, but with a smile and a smile, she suddenly felt unhappy.

Between Chu Yuechen and Rin Gongzi, whether it was deception at the beginning, or whether it was sincere or sincere, but now people's lives are so good, the husband and wife are like honey blending oil, and they have been blessed by their families, this is the true happiness of husband and wife!

He Xingyao felt a little envious in her heart, but she didn't say it, she just said in a very peaceful tone: "Yuechen, don't go back today, I want to talk to you, dinner will be eaten here, and when I wait until tomorrow, I will personally send you back, okay?" ”

Although Chu Yuechen didn't know what was going on with her, she still nodded.

It is said that above 10,000 people, no one is on the top, and it is the loneliest and loneliest.

When He Xingyao heard this, he was disdainful at all, but now it seems that it has really come true.

She was just an ordinary lady in Yuecheng at the beginning, living a peaceful life with her parents and sisters, but she didn't expect that she should have lived a mediocre life, but after all, she still walked to the top of these ten thousand people.

He Xingyao has come this way, she feels more and more lonely in her heart, the things she experienced and those people who have deep memories have disappeared in the long river of memory, since she came to this palace, I don't know what the reason is, I always feel that there are too few people, I always feel that it is not lively enough, I always feel extra lonely and lonely, that loneliness seems to swallow her, every night, she will let those people light all the candles in this palace, looking at the bright candle flame, she will finally have some warmth in her heart, But when the candle flame was extinguished, the overwhelming loneliness and darkness almost swallowed her, so that she could not escape if she wanted to.

It is naturally impossible for He Xingyao to say these things, she is now the master of the world, and she has her own majesty, so she can't show her cowardice in front of people at all, and some things can only be borne silently alone.

It was getting dark, He Xingyao gathered all the people in the palace to gather together in the largest Hehe Palace, and the imperial dining room made a lot of delicacies, and all the people she knew on weekdays came, and by the way, she also invited some rich girls from the capital, planning to have a biggest party.

He Muzhi didn't notice her sister's thoughts, but she just felt that this was a bit too cumbersome, and it was a bit unbelievable that her sister had invited so many people.

The moon gradually poked its head out of the clouds, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth, giving people a hazy and floating sense of fairy.

The singing and dancing in this palace is level, because the king is a woman, so most of the people invited are women, although there are men, but there are always a minority.

After He Xingyao drank for three rounds, he suddenly came to the middle of the hall like this, dancing with those singers, her clothes fluttering, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, and she looked unique.

Chu Yuechen was also a little drunk, she quickly walked over, pulled He Xingyao's sleeve at once, and said drunkly: "King, you are not strong enough to drink, otherwise let the minister send you back!" ”

He Xingyao shook his head.

She was very afraid of the night and didn't want to fall asleep very much, so she could only play the scoundrel and say, "Hey, you are the one who can't drink!" Hum! ”

After saying that, she smiled shamelessly.

However, although He Xingyao does not have a deep attainment in drinking, she was indeed not drunk this night, but she was sad in her heart, so she danced with those people, wanting to relieve the boredom and sadness in her heart.

At this time, He Xingyao looked at He Muzhi looking around with a wine glass, and felt a little lonely in his heart for a while.

She never couldn't bear to see her sister sad, but there were some things that others couldn't help after all, so she could only slowly come out of those sad pasts by herself.

He Xingyao sighed, and asked people to bring refreshing soup and incense, and then returned to his seat, sitting upright, looking at everyone in the audience.

The woman in red clothes sitting in the first row on the left side of the lower head is none other than the famous family in the capital, the noble daughter of the Li family.

He Xingyao looked at this girl very well-looking, and she had never made a mistake in participating in such a big banquet, which was really rare.

For a while, she admired this girl a little, and at the same time wanted to make friends.

That girl never twisted, after all, she was a woman of a big family, and she was different from those small families.

I saw the girl glance suddenly, and the two of them looked at each other, and then looked away from each other.

He Xingyao felt more and more funny, so he asked directly: "What is the name of the woman in the first row on the left side of the next head?" ”

Someone next to him replied, "Is the king talking about a girl in a light green dress or a girl in a red dress?" ”

He Xingyao smiled and said, "Naturally, it's the woman in red." ”

"That's the noble daughter of the Li family, the women in their family have been queens or concubines for generations, no matter how poor they are, they are always above the sixth grade."

With such a background, He Xingyao knew that although this girl admired herself, she couldn't be reused after all, but it was nothing to treat her as an ordinary friend.

So she quickly had the girl called to her.

The girl was also smart, and when she saw that it was the king, although she was a little nervous, her face was still calm.

"The courtier Li Anniang visits the king, long live the king, long live the king!"

It turned out to be Li Anniang, and the name is not bad.

He Xingyao smiled and said, "Calm down!" ”

Li Anniang looked at her and asked, "I don't know what the king wants to call his courtiers?" ”

He Xingyao looked at her as if she was a little nervous, so she waved her hand and said, "Anniang, at this banquet, don't bow at every turn, I just see that you are handsome and handsome, and you are the same age as me, so I just want to ask you to come over and talk." ”

He Muzhi happened to see her sister sitting with another woman at that time, and she suddenly had doubts in her heart.

Now on the surface, the world is peaceful and the world is healthy, but in fact, those undercurrents are still extremely powerful.

And the most important thing is that although He Xingyao is the biological daughter of the first emperor, the first emperor is a tyrant after all, and the current king, in the eyes of those short-sighted people, his identity is a flaw.

Since He Muzhi became the king of her sister, she has actually changed a long time ago, but this change is not visible to outsiders.

She always felt that the woman next to her sister was too well-behaved, not to mention the noble daughter of a family in the capital, how could she be willing to surrender to a fledgling woman?

After thinking of this, He Muzhi didn't dare to take it too lightly, and hurriedly found an excuse, came to his sister's side, and then sat down.

As soon as He Xingyao saw He Muzhi, he directly patted her head and said angrily: "Look at you, why don't you sit alone in a daze?" When I called you, you didn't come, but now you're rushing to me, huh? ”

When He Muzhi heard this, he also felt a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said, "Sister, who is this girl?" ”

He Xingyao smiled and said, "This is the woman of the Li family, named Anniang. ”

"Shore Niang? This name is not good, why is it called Anniang? ”

That Li Anniang is quite honest, when she attended the palace banquet, the people in her family had already asked her to inquire about the situation in the palace by the way, to see if this king is a person worthy of trust.

She originally planned to refuse, but Li Anniang finally let the greed in her heart overcome everything.

The women in the family have been royal daughters-in-law for generations, and now although the king is a woman, she feels that if she can make friends and become friends, she can be regarded as finding a good backer for the family.

After thinking of this, Li Anniang suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said with a smile: "King, the name of the courtier was originally taken by the father, if you are not satisfied, the king can also give the courtier a name." ”

Hearing this, He Xingyao was a little impressed for a while.

She looked at the woman in front of her, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously, my sister is just joking with you, you go down first." ”

After Anniang heard this, her eyes slowly dimmed, and there was no light in her eyes at the beginning.

Chu Yuechen always felt that He Xingyao seemed to have something on her mind, she was a little sad, but she still walked over and said: "Xingyao, if you have anything, just tell me, my Chu Yuechen got your great kindness at the beginning, no matter what, even if I can't help, I will definitely cheer for you, don't always hold things in your heart and don't say it, otherwise you will get sick sooner or later." ”

He Xingyao nodded.

Halfway through the feast, it was now a performance of the ladies of the various families, some of whom were drinking in groups, and some of whom were telling jokes, and it seemed to be much more lively.

In this huge palace, there is finally popularity.

He Xingyao's heart was particularly pleased, during this period, some singers were performing dances, and some people played the piano and sang, and wrote poems and toasts......

Chu Yuan happened to see them in the distance, and his heart was still entangled, but He Xingyao didn't notice him at all.

He felt a little lonely for a while, why didn't he feel so happy for such a grand banquet?

The people at the banquet were singing and dancing, but he felt like an outlier.

Just when Chu Yuan was distracted, Yan Yunzhan walked in front of him with a pot of wine at some point, and then glanced at him a little slyly, and said: "Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan, you are really self-inflicted, I told you at the beginning, if you really like her, then never let go, but what are you doing now?" Because of some of your mother's words, because of your own unfirmness in your heart, you just let go, are you going to make her the loneliest woman in the world? ”

Chu Yuan didn't know how he could say these words, He Xingyao is now the lord of the world, rich all over the world, how could he be lonely?

He was puzzled: "Yan Yunzhan, in fact, you are the most hypocritical person, you like her, but you are not brave, you would rather give away the person you like to others, thinking that you feel great, in fact, it is just an excuse for your cowardice." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Xingyao has everything now, she doesn't feel lonely at all, and I don't deserve her at all, she is the most dazzling star and moon in the sky, and I am the most humble dust on the earth, how can the stars and moon in the sky look down on this humble dust?" You always say I'm not firm, but how firm are you? Do you really think I don't know the love and pain in your heart? ”

When Yan Yunzhan heard this, he felt that all this was really incredible for a while.

Chu Yuan still had insight into his heart after all, but so what? He has already lost more than half of it from the beginning, and the person He Xingyao really likes in his heart has always been Chu Yuan, and even if he is with him for a long time, he can't be replaced after all.

Yan Yunzhan was a little helpless, but with such a grand banquet, silently looking at He Xingyao's happy face from a distance, he felt that he was content in this way, and his heart was not enough to swallow elephants, so he couldn't ask for too much at all.
