Chapter 990 Previous Life (4)
But Xie Jingxing has his own path to walk, and isn’t Shen Miao’s own path also difficult?
She said, "Comb your hair."
The music of stringed instruments was so exciting that it made the palace banquet extremely lively.
Fu Xiuyi hadn't been this cheerful in a long time. His usually stern expression softened, and his smile became particularly joyful. Shen Miao coldly watched Fu Sheng toast him, the father and son appearing to be enjoying themselves, but a chill ran down her spine.
Fu Ming sat upright to one side, Wanyu also sitting properly. The courtiers always praised the Crown Prince and Princess, saying they were so sensible at such a young age, and had the demeanor of little adults. Such dignified bearing wasn't something everyone could cultivate. While it was polite, it was pretty much what they said. But think about it: if people could act coquettishly and obediently as they pleased, who would be willing to be sensible? Sensibility is forced.
Wanyu and Fu Ming had also tried hard to get close to Fu Xiuyi, but children's minds were the most direct and simple. They could feel Fu Xiuyi's coldness, so they gradually became polite and courteous.
Shen Miao sat next to Fu Xiuyi, but watched Fu Xiuyi exchange glances with Madam Mei from time to time. Madam Mei was talking and laughing, and she was really affectionate. Fu Xiuyi also smiled slightly.
Shen Miao thought that the two of them must be really happy.
But who is the protagonist of this palace banquet?
Shen Miao couldn’t help but look towards the man on the left side of the banquet.
The young man was incredibly handsome, sitting with a relaxed, airy posture. His dark purple robe was a bit loose, but it still couldn't hide his high spirits. He smiled and drank slowly, as if the noise in the room had nothing to do with him, completely out of place in the bustle.
Shen Miao laughed inwardly, feeling that the young marquis of Lin'an Marquisate bore some resemblance to herself. The room was filled with joy and excitement, but in reality, she wasn't very happy. Xie Jingxing was about to embark on a bloody road with an uncertain fate, and she still didn't know what the outcome of her life would be.
Attacked from all sides, with their lives hanging by a thread.
She also took the wine glass and poured herself some wine, drinking it sip by sip with great restraint.
As a queen, she must always be dignified and graceful, and cannot be like a favorite concubine, who drinks so coquettishly and charmingly that people are intoxicated.
After the banquet ended, people dispersed in groups of three or four. She sat at her seat and heard Madam Mei say, "Your Majesty, I have prepared some fine wine tonight. Please watch the fireworks with me. Sheng'er also said he wanted to compete with Your Majesty in chess."
Fu Xiuyi laughed and poked Madam Mei's nose and said, "This competitive nature is exactly like you!"
Shen Miao swallowed the words “Wanyu and the Crown Prince also want to accompany the Emperor throughout the year.”
Looking back, the sadness in the two children's eyes made her heart ache.
But he endured the pain and pretended to be calm.
But this New Year, I just can’t sleep at all.
She coaxed the two children to sleep, only to find that neither of them was particularly enthusiastic about the arrival of the New Year. The sound of fireworks could be heard from within the palace walls late at night. On such a night, Lady Mei's palace was the best place to see the fireworks. Presumably, the three of them were quite affectionate.
Shen Miao put on her clothes, ordered Bai Lu to get a jar of wine and a bowl, and went to the garden.
From a corner of the garden, you can see the fireworks. You can only see a small half of them, but even that small half is extremely gorgeous, almost lighting up the entire sky. You can imagine what a beautiful scenery it would be at the other end where you can see the whole picture.
She took out a bowl, Bai Lu felt distressed, Shen Miao waved her hand and told her not to speak.
