Xia Xiao's presence in the wedding was very low. She could only sit there and watch her second sister and Xie Yi bow to each other. She felt like she was being robbed. Although she couldn't see her second sister's face, it could be seen from her movements that she was enjoying this feeling at the wedding. Today, she was the protagonist in the hall, and everyone would toast to her.

Xia Wan covered the wine glass with her wide sleeves and drank it. As she tilted her head slightly, the red veil slipped behind her. Xia Wan's red lips were stunning under the veil, and her phoenix eyes were pure and wise. When she saw Xie Yi pulling the veil back, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. A smile was like a spring breeze, and it was difficult to describe it in thousands of words.

If Xie Yi was just amazed by Xia Wan the last time they met, then the brief gaze at each other this time was a heartbeat of a lifelong commitment. He had been very resistant to political marriages and had never thought of falling in love. Because both parties in a political marriage, no matter who they were, would eventually be abandoned. But he suddenly had the idea of ​​overcoming the difficulties and wanted to spend his life with the person in front of him.

At this moment, a gentle and beautiful girl stood in front of him. The moment they looked at each other, he was very excited, not knowing whether it was the silk and bamboo that disturbed his heart or the red color of the wedding character. From now on, Xie Yi's worries finally settled. Seeing the fate in his eyes, Xia Wan smiled and pulled back the veil.

"Everyone, let's raise another glass of wine."

After the ceremonial officer finished speaking, His Majesty raised his glass, Xie Yi and Xia Wan raised their glasses, and all the ministers raised their glasses. Halfway through a glass of wine, Xia Xiao silently poured it out. The wine soaked the floor around him, like a kind of memorial, because this wedding was missing one person, otherwise he wouldn't be so lonely.

When Xie Yi informed him of this, Shu Shuang was still by his side. They thought that if they couldn't stop it, they would come to the second sister's wedding no matter how busy they were and personally send their blessings to her. But now, Shu Shuang has been gone for a long time, and this time when he left the academy, only he and Xie Yi went with him.

At first, the senior wanted Ah Zhu to accompany him, because entering the human world meant that there was a certain danger and he had to hide his breath. But Xia Xiao finally refused and only took a petal from his senior sister. Ah Zhu could not be brought to this wedding, because it was too easy to be emotional in such a scene, and he didn't want to be trapped by love. Shangshan crushed Shu Shuang's last trace of thought, and he should give up and stay at ease for a while. He couldn't say what would happen in the future, but during this period of time, he should concentrate on being himself.

When you are alone, everyone wants to have someone by their side, but with the company of another person, both happiness and sorrow will be doubled. Xia Xiao can be unhappy, but he doesn't want to be sad. He is already sad enough.

Xia Wan was sent to the palace. The Golden Pavilion Building was just a temporary residence. The Chunfeng Palace she was going to now was the same, but the bridal chamber was here. The four people from the Xia family watched her from behind for a long time, but once you start on this road, it is difficult to turn back.

The banquet only really began after she left. This was the custom of the South, and they followed it unconditionally.

Xie Yi toasted his father, mother, Xia family, and ministers. His smile was not strong, just a smile that he usually used to entertain guests, and it was even a little fake. But no one said anything, just drank and feasted. Although many young ministers envied Xie Yi, they were lucky enough to see Xia Wan's beautiful face at that moment, but the bitterness in it was only understood by Xie Yi himself.

Xia Xiao and Xia Xu looked at the fish meat on the table, which was white, and even though it was splashed with oil, it did not change its original color. They looked at it, thinking, without turning their heads, but just raised their arms to touch the wine glasses in their hands, and then drank it down. One glass of wine today, and who knows what will happen next time. They all cherished the opportunity and tried their best to forget the bad things.

The fish and meat in the south are very delicious and can make people drunk, so there was a lot of talking in the hall.

"Come, drink!"

"Today is a good day, Sir Xie, please don't spoil the fun!"

"Master Yang has really wronged me. Come, drink!"

…

The music in the palace gradually lost its elegance. The King of the South looked at the civil and military officials, the empress and concubines, and Xie Yi who was talking to several princes. Everything was normal. Only Xia Jinghong and the other three showed some joy before, but now they returned to their normal state, as if the cultivators outside the palace would rush in at any time and kill everyone here without leaving anyone alive. Their inexplicable caution, like their vigilance against themselves and the future, made the King of the South unable to understand.

Xiao Rong wiped away a few tears. The next time she met Wan'er would be when she left Yu Valley. All she could think about was the reluctance to leave. She didn't look at the hall carefully, but just remembered the most glorious moment in Wan'er's life. The way she walked on the red carpet was repeated over and over in Xiao Rong's mind.

Xie Yi walked up to Xia Xiao, who stood up and clinked glasses with him.

"I will treat her well."

"Um."

Xie Yi had signaled many times, so Xia Xiao didn't want to be embarrassed. He finished his glass of wine and poured another one.

"Second brother, another toast to you."

Xie Yi looked up, somewhat incredulous. Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong recognized him and called him Yi'er. Xia Xu was not much older than him, so he didn't need to call him by his name, but Xia Xiao's calling him "Second Brother" made Xie Yi happy, but also made him feel heavier. He didn't know what to say, a typical southerner, always like him, with many things he couldn't say, but when he raised his wrist, a glass of wine went down his stomach, and he felt very comfortable.

"Go and greet the guests."

Xie Yi nodded and patted Xia Xiao on the shoulder. The friendly gesture no longer made them feel awkward.

"Master Xia Xiao."

Xia Xiao was about to sit down when Xie Helin came over.

"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

Seeing him coming, Xie Yi also stopped. He was sufficiently wary of Xie Helin, but the latter was still smiling, like a real smiling tiger. But he was not here to cause trouble, but to ask something.

"I tried the practice method you told me and found it very useful. Thank you very much."

Xia Xiao felt that his trip was not just to say thank you, but he drank the wine, looked cold, and said nothing more. Xia Xiao felt a little sad, because there were many people here, it was easier to think of the person in his heart. But today, he could only pass by in a daze, and numb his nerves with drunkenness. Although there are many things that alcohol cannot solve, just like some feelings, time cannot dilute them.

After the banquet was over, Xie Yi saw off his father, the emperor, and his mother, and called Xie Helin.

"It's a great day today. I'm happy for you too. Go back to your sister-in-law soon!"

"You know I'm not here for this."

"And who are you?"

Xie Helin pretended to be confused. He had deliberately looked for Xia Xiao before. Even if the latter defeated him, he would still exist in the world. Xia Xiao and Xie Yi would leave Yu Valley, but he would not for the time being. Although it was difficult for him to do anything to Xia Wan, he just wanted to tell them his position.

"If you dare to touch her, I will definitely not let you go!"

"oh."

The two brothers looked fierce, glared at each other, and walked away. There was no blood between them, only murderous intent. Xie Yi did not have a strong desire to be the emperor, but Xie Helin showed such an attitude, even if he did not fight for it, he would not easily give up the position to him!

The two brothers went in opposite directions. Xie Yi walked faster, making Xia Wan wait for a long time, so he had to go back quickly.

Under the Chunfeng Palace, Xie Yi passed by very quickly.
