In the evening, the purple sunset reflected the red silk in the Xiyu Palace. As the ritual music played, a rich and colorful picture was unveiled before everyone's eyes.

In the Xiyu Palace, the three princes and nine ministers of the Chu State came here with their families to attend the banquet. Twelve beauties from the Queen of Chu's harem also arrived in their best attires.

The twelve beauties had a good time with Xiao En, and Shu'er had a good time at the table. Xiao En was smart and intelligent, and was favored by the King of Chu. He learned many rules from his mother, and the twelve beauties were even more sympathetic.

She was trapped in the Chu Palace like a hostage and was not allowed to meet the "Daddy of the King of Song" in her mouth, so everyone was invariably very good to Xiao En. Recently, Xiao En's uncle Dongfang Sui established a garrison in Chushui for the Chu State.

After her military exploits, everyone looked at her uncle's face and loved and obeyed her even more.

Shu'er doesn't want his daughter to wander around and be mediocre like she did when she was a child. Now she lives in the Chu Palace, has rich clothes and fine food, enjoys extremely rich honor and favor, and can be invited by Lin Ying, who is a master of piano and painting.

Studying and learning from famous teachers is the best life Shu'er can give Xiao En at present.

For such a big banquet, the King of Chu arrived late as usual, as if he was busy with state affairs, and also seemed to deliberately show off his identity. Shu'er knew that in private, Dongfang Sui often came to Jiangjiang from Anyi to pay a visit, and Lin Ying had never been absent from state affairs.

It was late to meet him, but instead he seemed to be waiting for Dongfang Sui eagerly. The two had a very happy personal relationship, and they often used Shu'er's cover to ride a awning boat on the Chu River to drink and talk. Dongfang Sui's wedding banquet

, Lin Ying had to be rude and late due to her status. In this way, in the eyes of everyone, they would not think that the King of Chu relied too much on the newly promoted King of Anyi.

But what everyone couldn't figure out was why the King of Chu took the initiative to let his son go back to the Xiyu Palace in Linjiang Chu Palace to get married? Xiyu Palace was the residence of the princes of the Chu Kingdom in the past. The ministers came to advise, and Chu

The king ignored her. And why did Prince Cui directly agree to marry the wife that the King of Chu secretly selected for him without asking any questions? The ministers tried to test him, but Prince Cui also ignored him. Could it be that the King of Chu and Mr. Cui had really put aside their past grudges? Ministers

Doubts and no solution.

Shu'er always felt that in the past few years, Lin Ying's life was really tiring. Every step he took and every word he said had to be carefully designed. Even his eyes could not stay in one place, for fear that others would see his preferences.

Once you know what he is thinking, the best thing to do is to make others guess but never guess what he is thinking.

The King of Chu and the officials were sitting on one side, and the female family members were sitting on the other side. There was a long red carpet in between, and they entered the main hall directly from the palace gate. Dongfang Sui and his beloved wife slowly walked on the red carpet and walked into the hall as husband and wife.

After the ceremony, they knelt down together to worship heaven and earth, and worshiped the King of Chu from afar. When paying homage to their closest relatives, they first worshiped the tablets of their husband's parents, which were Dongfang Yu and Lin Long, and then worshiped their wife's parents, which were the tablets of King Chen and Li Chen.

Queen Chen Huan.

It turns out that the sweet wife that the King of Chu found for Young Master Sui was the former Princess Li Min of the Chen Kingdom. Although Dongfang Sui and Li Min were slightly different in generation, they were similar in age, and they were more closely related to each other. To everyone, they were both superiors.

A superior marriage. This marriage put aside grudges and cleared up all the previous grudges, making all the ministers of Chu feel that the King of Chu was wise and the young master was lucky.

After the ceremony, the bride enters the bedroom and the groom goes to the banquet.

Dongfang Cui first offered wine to the King of Chu, and then to his sister Dongfang Shu, and then toasted to the three gongs and nine ministers one by one. The three gongs and nine ministers praised the young master for his civil and military skills, while the young master sincerely thanked the king of Chu regardless of the past grievances, and expressed his hope that Chu would become the king and his ministers from now on.

With one heart, we can prosper the country and stabilize people's livelihood.

During the banquet, hundreds of officials came to toast Dongfang Cuijiu, but he drank alone with an unattractive man and talked about Jianghu affairs and Baijia Sword. That person was not the King of Chu, but a Jianghu man he invited through his own post. He is now Zhuge Liang.

The first person in the aristocratic family, whose original surname was Mo, changed his surname to Zhuge, and his given name was Lutan.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the young master was worried about the world and would not deal with the flattery of the officials.

Time flies as we drink and drink together.

Zhuge Wangtan stood up and saluted Dongfang Sui and said, "It's getting late. Wangtan must leave before the locked palace gate."

Dongfang Sui patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I just hope that the palace gate can lock you here. When I was in Anyi, I wrote many letters to you, but you just didn't come to see me. A while ago, I talked to Song

The army is fighting, and if you come to help me, you might be able to capture a few cities in the Song Dynasty! But you can't shirk it, so I can only use the pretext of getting married to lure you to come and see me."

Zhuge Wangan apologized and said: "Zhuge's business still needs someone to take care of it. I am not a businessman. I only hope that hard work can make up for my weakness and live up to the trust of my benefactor. Therefore, I cannot serve Young Master Dongfang for the time being. Young Master is invincible in every battle, so I won't do it for the time being."

Need to talk nonsense."

Dongfang raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "When I need you, will you come to help me?"

Zhuge talked nonsense and asked instead: "Master, don't you know the friendship between the Zhuge family and the Dongfang family?"

Dongfang Sui nodded: "Of course I know this. We share weal and woe and have a century-old friendship. In this case, I will let you live in the world for a while longer! But don't just focus on making money for your Zhuge family and neglect us together.

Practiced swordsmanship."

Zhuge Wan Tan bowed again: "Wan Tan wishes the young master and his bride a perfect harmony. Wan Tan takes his leave now."

Shu'er was sitting in the distance and saw the two people saying goodbye to each other, so he kept looking over there. Zhuge Ruantan noticed it, but due to etiquette, he couldn't look towards the palace ladies of Chu, so he started to leave.

There was a pause, which was regarded as a farewell to Shu'er.

Seeing this, the officials and their families left on their own. The twelve beauties in the harem also returned to the palace, each waiting for the King of Chu's drunken visit.

The fireflies flickered and the stars shone brightly. In the huge Xiyu Palace banquet, in a blink of an eye, only Lin Ying, Dongfang Sui, Shu'er and Xiao En, who was sleeping soundly in Shu'er's arms, were left.

Dongfang Sui knew Lin Ying's thoughts a long time ago, so he said with a smile: "I will go to the bridal chamber to light the candles, and you can continue the feast." Then he waved away.

Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said while drinking: "Sister Shu'er, we can finally have a good talk. In the past few years, I have seen your grievances of reluctantly staying in the Chu Palace for small favors.

I'm very happy that you can always trust me.

I originally had a lot to say to you, but in this evening with the cool summer breeze and the fragrance of wine, I suddenly felt that it was useless to say more. Anyway, in Zhaohuang Palace, you all understand my helplessness.

At this time of year, the orange grove in Prince Sheng's Mansion in Yuling is probably about to have a good harvest. After cleaning up the Song Dynasty, I will take you to Yuling to pick oranges.

After picking the oranges, I will take a detour to buy dresses made of Fairy Snow Silk for you and Xiao En, and ask for the latest patterns.

In autumn, the ginkgo leaves in Zhaohuang Palace are indeed beautiful, but I heard that the best autumn scenery in Kyushu is in Xiling. I haven’t been to Xiling in many years, and I have never seen the autumn scenery in Xiling. Let’s go to Xiling to enjoy the autumn scenery.

, and then go to Fanjing to watch the snow. Xiao En will be another year older."

Shu'er looked at her daughter in her arms and said calmly: "Perhaps I have been too obsessed with giving Xiao En double the things I could not get when I was a child. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot that outside the Chu Palace

Xiao En has never seen the scenery before. And I didn't take her to see it, probably because I no longer dare to see it myself.

The King of Shu built two tombs on the top of the Peerless Peak. He wanted to be the best in the world so much that the position on the Peerless Peak should have been reserved for himself, but he was buried beside the bluestone platform of the Yilan Shu Palace.

.Yilan Shu Palace...Xiao En should go and take a look, but it's a pity that it has been burned down.

If Fanjing is as lively as it was back then, Xiao En should go and have a look, but King Zhao changed Fanjing's name to Wucheng, so I'm afraid the place will be desolate as well."

Lin Ying looked at Shu'er's increasingly thin profile, sighed softly, and said: "Xiao En has never seen the prosperity of the past, so she will not feel that it is desolate and desolate today. She will only see the rise and desolation after the ruin."
