At that time, the Ji family was still just the descendants of King Yongkang, who was devoted to serving the court. At this time, King Yongkang had not yet been angered to death by Emperor Xiao, and was enjoying his old age at home. All the trivial matters at home were left to Ji Jiangxin, the son of the Ji family at that time.
Sitting next to Ling Fei was Ji Jiangshen, who was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, with his hair tied up high, his narrow eyes squinting, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
General An Shinan, who had been guarding the border at that time, also brought his little daughter An Huaxin back to the imperial capital. This time, General An brought An Huaxin back to the imperial capital, half of the reason was to celebrate Emperor Xiao's birthday, and half of the reason was to come back to see his future son-in-law Xiao Moyan.
When Emperor Xiao first appointed Xiao Moyan as the crown prince, Xiao Moyan was still a baby at that time. Empress Yining died after giving birth to Xiao Moyan, and did not leave any power for Xiao Moyan.
General An Shinan was an upright person who did not form cliques for personal gain and he also held military power. An Huaxin was of similar age to Xiao Moyan and was the best support for him at the time. In order to consolidate Xiao Moyan's position as the crown prince, Emperor Xiao arranged this marriage for him.
The wedding date was approaching in two years, but the man and woman had not met each other yet. An Shinan came all the way to the imperial capital. There were rumors outside about how outstanding Prince Xiao was, but he had to see him with his own eyes to feel at ease.
At that time, Lizhou Kingdom seemed very peaceful, but no one could have expected that this year, the seemingly quiet and peaceful Lizhou Kingdom would undergo earth-shaking changes, and it all started from this day.
Yu Wan was right. Xiao Moyan would never offend the three states of Hua, Yu and Xue even if he didn't give face to Emperor Xiao. He arrived late when everyone had presented their gifts and the moon was rising in the night sky.
The hazy green figure walked into the hall, his cold and aloof look seemed out of place with the music and dancing in the hall. His every move was elegant and leisurely, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his eyes were light, as if he had walked out of a painting.
Emperor Xiao paused slightly, as if he had not expected Xiao Moyan to come, and quickly waved his hand to stop the singing and dancing: "Everyone, leave."
The beauties who were dancing happily in the center of the palace had to retreat because Emperor Xiao suddenly ordered them to do so. One of the dancers was spinning when she suddenly stopped and stepped on the edge of her skirt, causing her body to lean forward. She fell from that angle and happened to fall into Xiao Moyan's arms.
Everyone thought that Xiao Moyan would reach out to support the dancer and hold her in his arms.
But the result was just the opposite. When the dancer fell, Xiao Moyan just took a step back, allowing the dancer to fall to the ground without any hindrance.
In the end, Emperor Xiao felt that the dancer had brought shame to the Lizhou Kingdom, so he ordered her to be beaten to death.
No matter how hard the dancer begged, Xiao Moyan remained unmoved.
Yu Wan couldn't help but frown and wanted to plead for the dancer, but she held back. After all, this was in Lizhou, not Yuzhou. No one had spoken yet. If she spoke, she would be meddling in other people's business. She sighed secretly: Another innocent life.
This is how life is. Many things have already been determined by God, and you cannot resist.
Whether you have no control over yourself or it is fate that plays tricks on you, as a part of this world, you have your doubts and I have my concerns.
"Do you still admire him now?" Yu Wan whispered.
"Well... it's all the dancer's fault for being careless. Palace performances are unpredictable. She should have been mentally prepared for this before coming here." Although Yu Ya was talking to Yu Wan, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Moyan in the hall, his eyes full of admiration.
He finally met the legendary Prince of Lizhou, his role model.
