In the hall, the subtle discussions among the court officials were really annoying.

However, Su Yun calmly pushed Xiao Lusheng, and with the introduction of the palace servants, she sat in the seat at the lower left.

This position is the position of the crown prince.

But now, Cangyun Kingdom has no crown prince. As the emperor's only son, no one dared to object when Concubine Duan arranged this position for Xiao Lusheng.

Even though Xiao Lusheng did not appear at the New Year's Eve banquet in previous years, this seat was left vacant for him.

Su Hongpeng and Su Xiangyan were sitting at the table, watching Su Yun pushing Xiao Lusheng past slowly, feeling an indescribable strangeness in their hearts.

If it were in the past, with so many people talking about it, Su Yun would have blushed and wanted to crawl into the ground.

But today, she holds her head high and is very confident.

On the side, King Pingxi Xiao Zhennan and Xiao Yu also saw all this.

King Pingxi thought, this woman is truly stunningly beautiful. Fortunately, his son is a rational man and is not seduced by her beauty, otherwise, it would be a big trouble.

However, he didn't know that when Xiao Yu saw her pushing Xiao Lusheng slowly towards him, he felt a little sour in his heart.

Such a beautiful and lively woman originally belonged to him.

"Your Highness, Princess, how are you feeling lately?" Imperial Tutor Ding came over to greet them.

Xiao Lusheng nodded slightly while sitting in the wheelchair, "Thank you, Master. I am fine." After replying, he asked again, "How is Master?"

Su Yun also nodded slightly in return.

Tutor Ding was the Crown Prince's teacher, and also Xiao Lusheng's mentor.

Unfortunately, he has been living in seclusion in recent years, and Tutor Ding has grown old and has retired behind the scenes and no longer attends court.

Tutor Ding heard from his son that Xiao Lusheng had returned to court, so he came to this year's New Year's Eve banquet.

"I am fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

After a few pleasantries, the court officials began to have doubts in their minds when they saw that Master Ding had come to talk to Xiao Lusheng.

For a moment, all the civil officials and military generals started talking to Xiao Lusheng.

Xiao Lusheng was wearing a silver mask, so people couldn't see the extent of his disfigurement, but it was said to be very serious.

Even so, if the prince gets married and has an heir, and the emperor has a grandson, the situation in the court will be unpredictable.

"Father..." Xiao Yu gritted his teeth secretly as he watched those ministers greet Xiao Lusheng in a fawning manner.

King Pingxi smiled and held the teacup in front of him. He drank it in one gulp, "No hurry."

Yeah, no rush!

"Have you explained everything to her clearly?" asked King Pingxi.

Xiao Yu nodded, "Well, fortunately everything is still in time." Although the woman was becoming more and more eye-catching, her brain was still not very good.

He believed it after some coaxing.

However, if such a beautiful woman is obedient in the future, it would not matter if she was put in the harem for fun.

"That's good." King Pingxi drank tea, but his eyes occasionally paid attention to Su Yun's every move. After a long time, he said to Xiao Yu: "She doesn't look stupid."

Xiao Yu was stunned. He also felt that Su Yun had changed a lot.

"Pretending."

Xiao Yu also drank a cup of tea.

After a while, the Emperor and Concubine Duan appeared last.

Everyone stood up to welcome him.

The emperor walked into the hall and his eyes fell on the King of Pingxi. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little lost.

Concubine Duan sneered. Was he so unhappy because he didn't see the Princess of Prince Pingxi?

The emperor took the main seat, and Consort Duan, as well as a concubine, a Zhaorong, and a Zhaoyi, took seats beside him.

"Stand up," said the emperor.

In the hall, people stood up with a rustle.

Afterwards, the eunuch chief Xiu Yi announced the official start of the New Year's Eve banquet, and the palace servants filed in carrying fruits and dishes.

Grape wine luminous cup.

There are all kinds of dishes from the south and north of the Yangtze River.

The sound of stringed instruments began to play, and the beauties from the Jiaofang Bureau performed dances. Watching them dancing in thin dance costumes in the winter.

For a time, Deyuan Palace was extremely lively.

"King Huainan, Princess Huainan." Suddenly someone came over to toast.

Su Yun raised her eyes and saw that it was Xiao Heng.

"Uncle Wang." Xiao Lusheng raised his wine glass casually. Originally, he was disdainful to greet Xiao Heng.

But, this person might be useful in the future.

Su Yun also shouted.

After seeing Su Yun's appearance, Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, but even though he was lustful, he could never have any thoughts about the Princess of Huainan.

Then, he pulled the young man beside him and said, "This is your brother," and then said to Xiao Lusheng, "This is my eldest son, Xiao Zhiyue."

"Brother Wang." Xiao Zhiyue clasped his fists and bowed to greet him, "Sister-in-law Wang." Even Su Yun greeted him as well.

This Xiao Zhiyue has a standard square face, drooping eyebrows, and his eyes are always rolling around.

Xiao Heng came just now, probably because there were too many ministers who wanted to greet him, so he came to give it a try.

Su Yun smiled slightly at the side, and Xiao Zhiyue was stunned for a moment.

As expected, a good father will have a good son. Both father and son are lustful.

Xiao Lusheng looked coldly, "Uncle Wang, let's go back to our seats and watch the song and dance performance."

Xiao Heng smiled and quickly pulled Xiao Zhiyue away.

Su Yun took a deep breath and then smiled.

Xiao Lusheng asked: "Why is Yun'er laughing?"

"Your Majesty, guess?"

"Because of the Pingyao King and his son?"

Su Yun nodded, "Looking at the way they look, I'm afraid it's not just groundless. What I said was just a rumor." Not to mention that Prince Pingyao looked fat and greasy, his notorious methods were intimidating enough.

Xiao Lusheng pursed his lips and said, "Well, Prince Pingyao is not a good person, but Yun'er..."

He suddenly became serious.

Su Yun frowned, "What's wrong with the prince?"

He leaned close to Su Yun and whispered in her ear: "I am not the kind of person that the rumors say I am. Even if I am, it is for a reason. I never harm innocent people."

Su Yun suddenly smiled, "I know that the prince is the best person."

Her smile was so brilliant that it seemed as if all the palace maids present had lost their color. Even the dancers in gorgeous dance costumes were not one-tenth as beautiful as hers.

Xiao Lusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yu, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was also stunned. She had never smiled like this before. Especially the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Lusheng, why was it so glaring?

Xiao Lusheng is just a cripple!

Although he was wearing a mask, he had seen that disfigured face before, and Su Yun must have seen it too!

How could she laugh at him when he was so disgusting and ugly?

Xiao Yu sighed, grabbed the wine jug, drank a few more glasses, and felt a little gloomy. Then he saw Su Xiangyan walking towards him.

Su Xiangyan toasted first, then asked, "I wonder if the prince has thought of a solution for Xi'er?"

"Sir Su, I have tried my best, but it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order."

Su Xiangyan felt a lump in his throat and his face looked very ugly.

Xiao Yu said: "Sir Su, in fact, if the people present, the King of Huainan and the Queen of Huainan said one word for Miss Su, it would be more useful than us kneeling and begging."

Su Xiangyan nodded slightly.

Why doesn't he know?

Unfortunately, Su Yun is no longer the same Su Yun as before.
