Among the crowd, Huangfuxuan's gaze also stayed on the two people talking in the corridor. His eyes were slightly squinted, his expression looked a bit serious and gloomy, and his hands hidden under the wide sleeves had already been clenched into fists unconsciously.

.

"What are you looking at?" Huangfu Yan walked up to him and saw that he had been looking at a certain place, so he looked in the direction he was looking at. When he saw Huangfu Yi and Ling Ruoyao, he raised his lips.

Jiao, smiled and said, "It's not easy for the fourth child and Miss Ling Er. It's really not easy for them to get back together after being divorced."

"Didn't you say that the fourth child likes men?" Huangfuxuan snorted, still staring at the two figures, and said in a low voice, "Now that he cares so much about Miss Ling Er, doesn't that mean

, he doesn’t like men, but women, doesn’t he? Then wasn’t everything he said in the past all a lie?”

Huangfuyan was choked by his words and didn't know what to say, so he just smiled.

Although seeing that the fourth child has a woman he cares about, it is not as rumored that he only likes men and is not close to women, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is indeed a bit speculative.

Rumors are not just out of thin air. There are always clues and some basis for such rumors. Isn't Ye Yuan, who has always been by the fourth son's side, the best proof?

However, regardless of whether Lao Si's previous actions were deceptive or not, at least now he is no longer the prince with the cut sleeves as rumored.

"Why should the second child care so much?" Huangfu Yan said with a slight smile, "The fourth child no longer has the habit of cutting off his sleeves. Shouldn't we be happy for him?"

Are you happy? I'm so sorry, he can't be happy!

Huangfu Xuan didn't speak, just narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally looked at the two of them deeply, then looked away, no longer paying attention to Huangfu Yan, turned around and walked straight towards the banquet.

After walking a few steps forward, he met Huangfu Xi who was walking towards him. Huangfu Xi was about to call out to him, but he saw that he seemed to have not seen him at all and walked straight past him.

"What's wrong with this man?" Huangfu Xi muttered to himself, frowning with confusion on his face.

Without thinking any more, he continued to walk forward, but unexpectedly, he happened to meet Huangfu Yan. As soon as the two met, the atmosphere became awkward and strange.

Huangfuyan smiled awkwardly, then walked up to him and said kindly: "The third child is here?"

However, Huangfu Xi ignored him at all. He just glanced at him, snorted from his nose, walked around him and wanted to leave.

"Lao San." He hurriedly called out to him. Huangfu Yan quickly chased after him, grabbed his arm and said, "Lao San, let's talk."

He really didn't want to continue like this. This depressing and treacherous relationship was really hard for him to accept. He really didn't want to be resented by the third child anymore, so he just made it clear once and for all.

This time, Huangfu Xi did not refuse, but said in agreement: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."

He wanted to see what the boss wanted to say to him.

The two walked out of the banquet together, walked along the circuitous corridor, walked out of the open lacquered red palace door, and walked on the unpassed bluestone path.

No one spoke aloud, and the atmosphere seemed very silent. All around could be heard the noise coming from the banquet and the rustling of leaves in the night wind.

After walking for a while, the two of them stopped until the noise at the banquet gradually faded away.

Turning to look at Huangfu Yan, Huangfu Xi glanced at him and said in a very unfriendly tone: "Tell me what you want to tell me."

"Lao San." He sighed, Huangfu Yan frowned, and said earnestly, "How long are you going to be angry with me? What should I do to make you calm down? It's been so long.

You still refuse to forgive me?"

When he slapped Huangfu Xi and scolded him on the street, it really made Huangfu Xi lose face and frustrated his self-esteem. But it has been so long, but Huangfu Xi still keeps it in his heart and hates him.

.

"Boss is really good at joking." Huangfu Xi snorted from his nose, glanced at him sideways, and said disapprovingly, "How dare I be angry with boss? Is there anything wrong that boss does?"

I’m just angry that I don’t live up to my expectations, I’m always scolded, and even slapped!”

Huangfuyan didn't even know what to say. He thought that a good talk with him would ease the awkward relationship between the two, but he didn't expect that the third child had no intention of reconciling with him.

They are all insinuations with thorns in them.

"Third brother, I know that the things I did before made you very unhappy, but it's been so long, can't you calm down?"

Glancing at Huangfu Yan, Huangfu Xi turned to look at the calm lake in front of him and said mockingly: "It's a good thing the boss still remembers it. I thought he had forgotten it after so long."

With a helpless sigh, Huangfu Yan took a step forward, walked to his side, and looked at him with a frown: "Third brother, please stop making trouble. I'm sorry for you. I apologize to you, so please don't do it anymore."

You hate me, okay?"

Turning to look at him, with a sharpness and indifference in his eyes that could not be ignored, Huangfu Xi raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, and said nonchalantly: "What the boss said is easy. Then if I have done something sorry for the boss, then I will tell you

Boss, if you say sorry, can you forgive me easily?"

Choking on his words again, Huangfuyan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to sigh helplessly: "Young man, you can't say that."

"Then boss, tell me, what should I say? Do I have to say, boss, I forgive you, is it right?"

"Lao San, that's not what I meant!" Seeing that he misunderstood him more and more, Huangfuyan said hurriedly.

Huangfu Xi became more and more impatient, and waved his hand to interrupt Huangfu Yan: "Okay, boss, you don't need to say any more. Maybe after more time passes, I may forget those things before.

But now, I still can’t forget it!”

"Lao San, I..."

Without giving Huangfuyan a chance to explain aloud, Huangfuxi flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the banquet, with a firm and straight back.

Looking at Huangfu Xi who was gradually leaving, Huangfu Yan had no choice but to shake his head and sigh. He sighed several times in succession. His handsome face was covered with a layer of gloom, and he felt very melancholy.

The two of them returned to the banquet one after another. Almost all the officials and royal nobles who attended the banquet were already at the table. The two of them also hurried back to their seats and sat down.

From the top position, the emperor glanced at the people below with a peaceful smile. His face, which still looked very weak, had a look of satisfaction.

Stroking his gray beard, the emperor smiled and said: "Tonight's banquet is to celebrate our country, Cheyuan, for successfully repelling the invasion of the country of Cangqiong and winning this battle!"

"If Cangqiong Kingdom wants to invade our country, it is simply overestimating its capabilities!" Huangfu Yu stood up first, looked at the emperor who was looking up, and said with great momentum.

His words sounded, and many officials immediately echoed them. Their words were full of pride and superiority as citizens of Cheyuan Kingdom, and full of self-confidence, as if they were powerful iron kings.

, no one can invade it.

Huangfu Yi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then put the wine glass back on the table. His face was calm, and his graceful thin lips slightly raised upward in an elegant arc, but in his heart he felt scornful of the flattery of these officials.

When the Cangqiong Kingdom invaded the border, no one could repel it. Even when the emperor planned to send people to the border town again, these officials did not stand up to speak. Instead, Ling Qinglian took the initiative to go to the battlefield.

But at this moment, these officials are talking so proudly, as if they themselves went to the battlefield and repelled the enemy's attack. It is really disgusting!

However, as a prince, he has grown up in this kind of environment, so he is not surprised at all, but it is still difficult for him to be calm and treat these words as nonsense.

He raised his head and moved his eyes to the opposite side, landing on that pretty and charming figure. His eyes softened and he no longer paid attention to those disgusting words.

Aware of the warm gaze cast from the opposite side, Ling Ruoyao also raised her head and looked around. She saw that handsome and resolute familiar face at a glance. She suddenly felt shy, and two traces of light appeared on her fair and pretty face.

flush.

She slightly raised the corners of her lips towards him, and revealed a sweet and soft smile. Ling Ruoyao raised the wine glass in her hand towards him, then brought the glass to her lips, took a sip, but was immediately made to spit out her tongue.

.

Although it was not her first time attending a banquet or drinking alcohol, she still couldn't get used to the spicy liquor, and it still took a lot of effort to drink it.

Seeing that she was being forced to stick out her tongue, Huangfu Yi couldn't help but chuckle. There was a doting look in his deep and narrow phoenix eyes, his eyes were particularly soft, and there was a charming and elegant smile on his lips.

Everything around them seemed to be non-existent to the two of them. In their eyes, there was only each other, only each other. The noises, sounds of silk and bamboo around them had all gone away from them, and they could only hear their own heartbeats.

Voice.

Ling Qinglian, who was sitting diagonally above Ling Ruoyao, noticed that Huangfu Yi opposite her was looking towards them. She calmly looked back at Ling Ruoyao behind her. When she saw Huangfu Yi, who had been looking at her, she couldn't help but frown.

Frowned slightly.

His face was a little solemn. He turned back, picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. His face was a little gloomy. He put the wine glass back on the table, picked up the jug, poured himself another glass of wine, and looked after himself.

He started drinking and didn't pay attention to what everyone around him was saying.

"Thanks to Ling Qinglian and Ling Aiqing for defeating the enemy's invasion this time!" The emperor spoke again, his words full of praise, and his eyes turned to Ling Qinglian, but when he saw that he was just drinking, he didn't listen at all.

When he spoke, his face couldn't help but change slightly and became a little stiff.

Ling Yan, who was sitting next to Ling Qinglian, quickly reminded him and brought Ling Qinglian back from her thoughts.

Standing up hastily, Ling Qinglian cupped her hands and clasped her fists towards the emperor above her, and said respectfully: "The emperor has given you too much praise. As a citizen of the Cheyuan Kingdom, I should serve the emperor and our Cheyuan Kingdom!"

"Okay, very good!" The emperor laughed out loud and nodded with satisfaction, "I am deeply pleased to have a good general like you!"

With that said, the emperor picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it towards Ling Qinglian, "I dedicate this glass of wine to you! Ling Aiqing, you don't have to be polite!"

Bending down to pick up her own wine glass on the table, Ling Qinglian said in a flattered tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" After saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Looking up at Ling Qinglian and seeing him finish the drink, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but quietly swallowed her saliva, with a look of admiration in her eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart, this drink is really good!

The banquet continued, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. In the center of the banquet, there was the graceful dance of the dancer, which was accompanied by the pleasant tune, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Ling Ruoyao held her head up and looked at the dancers in flowing dresses in front of her, dancing movingly, and the corners of her lips unconsciously rose up, as if she was also dancing.

It seems that since the last hunting in the paddock, Huangfuxi danced once in revenge, and she has never danced again. It was also at that time that her leg injury became more serious, and she was bedridden for a long time.

I haven’t danced for a long time, and I wonder if my dancing skills are unfamiliar?

Her eyes were always fixed on the dancers, her clear eyes were shining with excitement. She was looking at them extremely seriously, and she didn't even notice that Huangfu Yi opposite her had left her seat at some point.

When she came back to her senses and looked towards his seat again, all she saw was an empty seat, and that familiar figure had long since disappeared.

Feeling puzzled for a while, she couldn't help but look around. After looking around, she finally saw him in the outermost corner of the banquet, and found that he was also looking at her and beckoning to her.

He waved, as if calling her over.

Without thinking much, she stood up quietly, trying not to attract anyone's attention, and exited her seat, walking straight in the direction of Huangfu Yi.
