Before the banquet began, the queen sent the palace maid to find Yizhen and Huaxi and return to Linbo Pavilion.

Susukino Katsuno, Susukino Shin, and the courtiers have arrived. Not long after, the eldest king Susukino Zonghu and the second king Susukino Zonghu also came over with some young dukes.

"Come over Huaxi and meet your eldest brother and second brother." Susukino looked behind the two of them, "Where is Zong Qi?" ”

Susukino Soto's face was a little unnatural, and he didn't speak.

Susukino Zongfeng took a step forward, as if unintentionally said: "Father, Zong Qi went to the street a few days ago and suffered from the wind and cold, and he has been cultivating in the mansion for the past two days, so he will go to the banquet today and in the future." ”

"Wind chill?" Bo Ye's face was pale, and he didn't ask about Zong Qi's situation again, only glanced at the queen, "Let's have a banquet"

Everyone waited for the emperor and queen to take their seats, and Yizhen sat down next to Huaxi and motioned for Huaxi to sit with her.

Huaxi's seat was not located here, and he was hesitant to sit down for a while.

Because of the Susukino generation, after the suppression of the rebellion of the Great Emperor Susukino Yi, there were not a few deaths and exiles, and only the two royal families of Susukino Shin and Yizhen remained in the dynasty, and Yizhen had the same mother as Susukino Tong, so the status was even more extraordinary, and it could be said that she was the most noble princess in Xiyue. Susukino is almost responsive to her needs and dotes on her. Last year, Yizhen and Zhidu Wang Youyou got married, but because she wanted to live in Tiandu for two more years, she postponed the wedding, and the wedding date was undecided.

Huaxi's life history has not been disclosed except for Emperor Bo Ye Tong, and Empress Xun and others are just guessing. Huaxi still calls her the righteous daughter of Susukino Shin to the outside world, so she is not a royal family in the strict sense of the word in the eyes of outsiders. And Yi Zhen's move is undoubtedly a reminder to everyone that Huaxi is regarded as a royal clan, not a righteous daughter in the general sense.

Susukino nodded with a smile, "Yizhen is your aunt, you are new to the city, and it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar and restrained, so just sit next to her." ”

Huaxi looked at Susukino Shin, saw Sukino Shin nodded slightly, and sat down next to Yizhen.

Yizhen and Huaxi sat together, which naturally attracted the attention of each family. Queen Xun's color changed slightly, but she quickly regained the smile on her face, while Xun Rou's face was not very good-looking.

Everyone present was also secretly speculating about Princess Yizhen's thoughts, more precisely the emperor's thoughts, and even the eyes that looked at Huaxi were full of inquiry and curiosity.

Susukino announced the start of the banquet and officially introduced Huaxi to everyone as the daughter of King Shin.

Which of the people present was not a caring person, and they sensitively noticed Susukino Tong's attitude and wording, the righteous daughter of King Xin and the daughter of King Xin, although the difference between the words sounded like a slip of the tongue, but after taking a closer look at Huaxi, they would suddenly realize that "it is so".

Huaxi didn't care about the various eyes from all sides from sitting down to the banquet, and sat calmly, without squinting, enjoying the Xiyue folk music and dance performed with great interest.

"Brother Huang is worried that you will be nervous, but I can't see that you are a little restrained." Yizhen is ten years older than Huaxi, twenty-five years old this year, and talking to Huaxi is more like an elder, without the slightest style of elders.

Huaxi turned his head sideways and said, "No matter how much you look at it, it's not a nose and a pair of eyes, and you can't give birth to flowers." Since they want to see it, just let them see it. In a word, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake. ”

At the beginning, because of Xun Rou's relationship, Huaxi didn't have a good impression of this young aunt, but today Yizhen broke the siege for her, which surprised her, and later when Lin chatted, Yizhen intentionally or unintentionally mentioned her father, and the words seemed very close, not like a fake, but Huaxi felt that although she and Xun Rou intersected, they were not the same in nature, so they relaxed a lot when they spoke.

Yi Zhen lowered his head and chuckled, "Just put it out like you, coupled with this indifferent bearing, the fake can also be regarded as real." ”

Huaxi took a sip of tea, "Is it true that my aunt said it was fake or true?" ”

Yi Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Susukino Shin, his expression was a little dazed, "The most respected brother in my life is the imperial brother, the most ...... It is the brother who trusts. People outside think that you are the shield he found, a shield sent by Emperor Dahua, but those who know my brother know that even if outsiders pressure him, he will not give in easily, and he disdains to find a weak girl to be a righteous daughter to perfunctory the Xun family. He traveled thousands of miles to find you back, I'm afraid it's because of the woman named Zhenxian who has been thinking about you for so many years, right? ”

Yizhen looked at Huaxi with inquiring eyes, Huaxi looked at her with a smile and said, "Yes, the woman you said is my mother." His Majesty gave the number, and at the request of his father, he took the word 'Xian' from the mother's table. Hearing Mu Xiangwan's name from someone close to Susukino Shin, Huaxi was very relieved, and also happy for Mu Xiangwan, as his father said, although he lived up to his mother's waiting, he did not live up to her feelings.

Yi Zhen's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then his eyes darkened, and he sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't see it...... There are a few people in this world who can be like my brother, and I only remember one person for more than ten years, and it is really her blessing to be favored by my brother. ”

It's hard to imagine that Yizhen, who is loved by thousands of people, would give such a feeling. Huaxi was slightly stunned, turned her head and looked at the lively and cheerful dance, recalling the conversation between the two just now, and felt more and more that Yizhen was a little lonely when she spoke.

The banquet ended smoothly, and after the baptism of the eyes of various important figures in the West Moon, Huaxi left the palace with Susukino Shin and returned to the palace of King Shin.

The carriage clicked, and Huaxi leaned against the wall of the car, looking at Susukino Shin, who was sitting straight on one side with his eyes closed, and was stunned.

"What are you looking at?" Susukino asked, but didn't open his eyes.

Huaxi leaned over, supported his head with his hands, looked at Susukino Shin with big eyes, and said curiously: "I was just thinking, you have never thought of finding another companion for so many years?" ”

Susukino Shin opened his eyes, rubbed Huaxi's head with his hand, and said, "My broken body...... I don't want to hurt people anymore. ”

Huaxi asked again: "So, if you hadn't been injured back then, would you still find another companion?" Yi Zhen's words aroused her interest in the past affairs of Susukino Shin and Mu Xiangwan, with whom she had never talked deeply about his old years with Mu Xiangwan.

A man may bury his memories deep in his heart forever, while a woman is more often willing to confide in the person she wants to confide in.

With Susukino Shin's character, Huaxi doesn't ask, he won't take the initiative to say it.

Susukino Shin was a little hesitant, for fear that Huaxi would annoy him because of this, but he didn't want to lie to his daughter, "Maybe I'll find it again...... But if you look for it again, you won't be able to find your mother......"

Huaxi probably wiped out what he thought and said: "My mother left you a deep memory when she was the most beautiful, and you will remember her in your heart for the rest of your life, and it is enough to have these." People can't live forever and indulge in memories and stop moving......"

Susukino Nobu was recalled by Hanaxi's words, "Leaving your mother, you were sent to Qingshiling, and after eight years of leaving there, your mother has already gone." I went to the battlefield alone, wanted to fight for my life, avenged the captivity, and died on the battlefield. …… As a result, in the end, God did not accept my life on the battlefield. The royal brother said at that time that since he had survived a lifetime of death, he should not think about dying again. I had planned to leave Xiyue and go to Dahua to find your mother's grave and guard her grave. It's just that although Susukino Yi died at that time, the remnants of the rebellious party still frequently caused trouble. There are Dahua and Wusun outside, and the internal situation is not stable, and the imperial brother is just employing people, but he did not say anything about it, but sent someone to send me to Dahua. The imperial brother used to treat me kindly, and I thought about it, so I had to use this broken body to help the imperial brother. But ......"

"If I am not seriously injured, after I come back from the battlefield to help the imperial brother quell the civil strife, I will also go to your mother's grave for three years before leaving." By then, I will know about your existence and try to bring you back, and it's hard to say if I'll find another companion in the future......

Huaxi's heart warmed, and she smiled: "To be honest, I don't want a stepmother to share your feelings for your mother. But my daughter may get married, and I don't want you to be left alone, so if you really want to find it, why don't you marry me off first. ”

"I'm just your daughter, no, let's get into one of them." Nobu Susukino smiled, his eyes filled with indescribable affection.

Hua Xi nodded thoughtfully, "This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Susukino nodded Huaxi's forehead, "Dad just said, there are a few talented people who can get into the business, and my daughters have to be the best." ”

Huaxi shook her head, "Talent may not be good. Aunt Yizhen still envies her mother today, saying that her father is a person who values love and righteousness. I also want to find a man who can treat me like my father and mother...... Don't seek to be heard in the world, just to treat each other sincerely......"

"It's just that how many people in this world can be as dedicated as my father?" Huaxi straightened up, looked out the window and muttered to herself, her wish was good, but she didn't know if it could be realized in the cruel reality.

In his ear, Susukino Shin whispered, "Yes, my father will find someone who can treat you wholeheartedly." ”

Huaxi only comforted himself with Sukino Shin, but did not take this as a promise.

Since the banquet, Yan Jin stayed in the palace and did not come back, and Yurui's two maids were also sent to some place by Bono Xin. Huaxi never saw it in the mansion again.

There have been many posts on the Xinwang Mansion to invite Huaxi to visit the garden, enjoy the flowers or be guests, all of whom are the nobles of the various families at the last palace banquet. Huaxi looked at the post, either the name was unfamiliar, or she knew that the name didn't match her face at all. Huaxi was too lazy to deal with it, so she sent people to refuse politely, thinking about another thing in her mind.

In the past, under the fence of Dahua Mail, there was no strength and financial resources to realize, and after the opening of the incense shop on Deyu Street, Huaxi began to think about this matter. The world has changed, but he later came to Xiyue, and now he is gradually beginning to adapt to the life here, and the days are leisurely, Huaxi began to think about arranging a special incense room for refining essential oils.

Huaxi got busy until the day of Jincheng's wedding was set, and a guest came to the door. ()
