Xi Xi looked at Chu Yanxi with a puzzled expression, but Chu Yanxi remained silent.
Xi Xi is not human; she doesn't understand how complex human emotions are.
At that time, her relationship with Xu Qian couldn't be resolved with just a few words. Although the feelings in her heart were hard to completely disappear, the situation was simply unchangeable.
Not to mention that now, twenty years have passed, and she is the retired emperor with too many responsibilities and duties. She cannot disregard the stability and prosperity of the Night Dynasty for her own selfish desires.
Xu Qian was in the Prime Minister's study, staring blankly at the books piled on the table.
He recalled the reactions of everyone at the palace banquet, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
The memories he shared with Chu Yanxi were the most precious part of his life, but fate played a cruel trick on them, and they could never go back to the past.
He knew that only by burying this feeling deep in his heart and continuing to dedicate himself to Ye Chao could he live up to Chu Yanxi's trust and expectations.
Meanwhile, in the Grand Princess's residence.
Xu Ruyan first confirmed that her mother, Xu Peng, disliked Xu Qian before she and Yuan Yin came up with all sorts of bad ideas to try and make Xu Qian happy.
Yuan Yin recalled the strange atmosphere at the end of the palace banquet, so she decided to find a way to help her aunt get out of this depressed mood.
The two discussed and proposed to hold a grand blessing ceremony, praying for the eternal peace and prosperity of the Night Dynasty, and also hoping to take this opportunity to make the people happier and to reunite everyone's hearts.
After informing Chen Xiao and Chu Yanxi, the two readily agreed. The following day at the court assembly, the officials also felt that the proposal was excellent, as it would not only save the people money and effort but also bring them joy.
With everyone's consent, Xu Ruyan and Yuan Yin began preparing for the blessing ceremony.
As everyone prepared for the blessing ceremony, they were gradually infected by this positive atmosphere.
They realized that the past was past, and what mattered was seizing the present and working hard for the future of Yechao.
Therefore, they also joined in the preparations, working together with the ministers to prepare for this blessing ceremony.
Finally, on the day of the blessing ceremony, the sun shone brightly, and almost every street was filled with people.
Chen Xiao and the others, dressed in their finest attire, stood before the altar and solemnly conducted the ceremony.
As the bells of prayer rang, the gloom in people's hearts gradually dissipated, and they were filled with hope for the future.
At this moment, Chen Xiao and the others became even more determined to protect the Night Dynasty. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, as long as they joined hands, they would definitely be able to overcome them.
