Chapter 207 The Crowd
Li Yueyao hurried over with the child and placed him in Prince Laocheng's arms.
Li Huaiyu was watching from the side and was very nervous. He was worried that the old man would drop the child as he was old and his hands and feet were not flexible.
Who knew that the old prince held the child steadily, looked at him carefully and said:
"The child looks like you."
Li Yueyao laughed and said, "Everyone says so when they see it."
"Good, good, it's like you, and our royal bloodline still has the upper hand."
After the old prince finished speaking, everyone looked at Feng Shenyu.
Does this mean that Fengshenyu’s bloodline is not good?
But who is Feng Shenyu? Under the gazes of everyone in the room, he continued to drink tea leisurely with an unchanged expression.
Seeing this, Li Huaiyu couldn't help but admire: You have an ice face!
After Prince Laocheng finished looking at the child, Li Yueyao returned to her seat.
Then everyone started drinking and watching the dance.
During the meal, Li Yueyao looked at the people below. Each of them had his own characteristics. Zhaoqing was in a low mood and just kept drinking with his head down.
Li Huaiyu was absent-minded and kept looking at the Huai family's seats.
The King of Qin accompanied Prince Laocheng, chatting, drinking and laughing heartily.
The six ministers were arguing and drinking at the same time.
The generals were already arguing.
This banquet is not much different from the court. The people are still the same, so the scenery is still the same.
When things get noisy, it's naturally as noisy as in the imperial court or in a vegetable market.
Li Yueyao suddenly felt bored.
Halfway through the banquet, Li Yueyao stood up and prepared to go to the back to see the children.
Who knew that when I walked to the foot of the rockery on the side of the road, I suddenly heard someone talking in front of me.
"It's not a good thing for you to avoid me like this. We happened to meet today, and I have something to say to you."
Li Yueyao stopped when she heard the familiar voice.
"Prince Shou'an, we are acting like we are in an unfavorable situation. Please respect yourself," said a female voice.
As soon as Li Yueyao heard the name Prince Shou'an, she knew who the female voice was.
"Self-respect?"
Li Huaiyu sneered.
"Five years ago, while dancing with swords under the moonlight in Chonglou..."
The woman interrupted him hastily:
"Prince, everyone has their youth, so why keep talking about the absurdities of youth?
If the prince has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
After Li Yueyao finished speaking, she heard footsteps. She was afraid that she would be caught eavesdropping, so she prepared to hide.
But then I heard a woman exclaim:
"Ah! Let go..."
Li Yueyao was really curious, so she stopped, stepped back and looked over there.
Suddenly, Feng Shenyu's voice came to my ears:
"You came out for so long just to see the affection between the couple?"
Li Yueyao was startled and quickly turned around to see Feng Shenyu standing next to her.
Looking back, the emperor, the virtuous concubine, and the fourth prince were all there.
Li Yueyao had no intention of stepping forward to salute, but instead said:
"Shhh."
The Fourth Prince was curious and walked over. After taking a closer look, he said in surprise:
"They are actually having an affair?"
The virtuous concubine came from behind and slapped the fourth prince on the shoulder.
"Don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for the Wang family's scheme, they would have been married long ago.
Back then, they were an enviable couple in Beijing!"
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
As they were talking, the emperor came over, looked over and said:
"Ms. Zong still ignores him?"
"Well, after the mutiny in the Jingjiao camp, I've been avoiding him."
Li Yueyao heard the emperor's voice, turned around, and saw that the emperor had driven all the servants away.
But I followed along and watched the fun together.
Qian Lou took out a bag from somewhere nearby, which was filled with pumpkin seeds, and poured a handful for each person.
Several people watched while eating melon seeds.
Li Huaiyu only heard: "Linlin, I just have a few words to tell you."
Zong Feilin was a female general, heroic and skilled. At this moment, Li Huaiyu grabbed her wrist and she couldn't break free.
Li Huaiyu continued, "I want to say that it was Wang who set up the scheme, harmed my mother, and now wants to plot against me.
You are the only one in my heart from beginning to end, you must believe me."
Zong Feilin said calmly, "When we separated, you said that your family forced you to do it.
Haven’t we said that love is voluntary and there is no regret after it is done?
I accepted your helplessness at the time and have let it go over the years, so why are you still bothering me?"
Zong Feilin likes red the most, but since Huai Xiujing passed away, Zong Feilin has been wearing plain clothes.
She also wore a moon-white dress at today's palace banquet, with only a belt, jade pendant, and shawl in light green.
Li Huaiyu saw that she was dressed simply and had lost her former flamboyance, like a small white flower killed by frost, and his heart ached.
"Letting go...is easier said than done."
Zong Feilin scoffed, "Prince Shou'an has been a playboy for years, a playboy paragon in the capital. How could he be trapped by love?"
"Uncle Eleven, is this a failure?" the Fourth Prince whispered beside him.
According to the royal family's order of seniority, Li Huaiyu was ranked eleventh and was the emperor's cousin.
Xian Fei nodded and said, "Well, I guess so. It seems that this girl cares about this very much."
Li Yueyao continued and said to the Fourth Prince, "Don't learn from him in the future. You can't be too fickle.
Look, chasing your wife to the crematorium!"
The fourth prince nodded while eating melon seeds.
After listening to Zong Feilin's words, Li Huaiyu continued to explain:
"Without you, my life has lost its joy. It is a muddle, a life worse than death, and I can only indulge in sensual pleasures.
This is my fault, I apologize and I hope you can forgive me."
Zong Feilin continued calmly, "Things have changed between you and me a long time ago, so how can we talk about forgiveness or not?"
The Fourth Prince heard this and said, "It's over. With such a resolute attitude, it looks like Uncle Wang won't be able to eat this person anymore."
The emperor said, "It's not completely impossible. If you ask your uncle to be more polite and admit his mistakes, there is still a chance."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian turned around and glared at the emperor:
"You understand, that's all you know?"
The emperor was stunned when he heard this. It’s over. He had too much to say.
Feng Shenyu quietly reminded the emperor from behind:
"Your Majesty, please be quiet when you are watching a show."
The emperor listened and nodded seriously: "Right Prime Minister, your words make sense."
The others continued to watch, and Li Huaiyu continued to pull Zong Feilin's sleeve and said:
"Linlin, I, Li Huaiyu, have only loved one person in my life, and that's you.
Whether you forgive me or not, I will wait for you until the day you change your mind."
Zong Feilin struggled to free her wrist, straightened her sleeves, and said without turning her head:
"Back then, if you said we'd be together, we'd be together. If you said we'd break up, we'd break up. You had the final say in everything.
In your heart, I am not as important as your mother, nor as important as your family. I am someone you can easily give up.
The Duke's deep affection and friendship should be given to someone else. I cannot afford it."
After saying that, he took a step and was about to leave.
Li Huaiyu was very panicked after hearing this. He ran up and hugged Zong Feilin's waist from behind.
"Don't go, I really love you."
Zong Feilin struggled hard and finally started fighting.
"Tsk tsk, why are they fighting again?" the emperor said again.
The virtuous concubine said angrily, "Don't you know the most? Why did you say the fight started?"
When the emperor heard the sarcastic tone, he immediately shut up.
Li Yueyao replied, "It's good to fight.
This girl first lost her grandfather and then her husband. She was depressed after experiencing such a series of bereavements.
Letting out your anger after the fight might help you feel better."
The two of them were fighting back and forth brilliantly. If Li Yueyao hadn't remembered that she was peeping, she would have wanted to applaud them.
The two were fighting evenly. Suddenly, Li Huaiyu seized the opportunity and deliberately let Zong Feilin punch him, and then pretended to fall to the ground and vomit blood.
