There was an endless stream of people who came to toast, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they would not lose their manners after all, nor would they miss the opportunity to observe Princess Xuan up close.

Xia Chenhuan did unexpectedly well.Without the anxiety of being an impostor, and with Xiao Haoxuan by his side, his attitude is graceful, and he advances and retreats well.Her gestures are full of the noble and elegant Princess Xuan should have.

Xiao Haoxuan would protect Xia Chenhuan, but he didn't want this person to be just a fragile porcelain bottle in his arms.Xia Chenhuan's ability is more than that. He can protect himself and win respect for himself.Maybe a little longer, but eventually it will.

Therefore, no matter who came to toast and chat, Xiao Haoxuan basically let Xia Chenhuan lead the conversation.He was able to handle it with ease, even if the person's code words were thorny, he could go back without changing his face, without a word of swearing, making people blush.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't stop Xia Chenhuan from drinking.Wine has been an indispensable tool in communication since ancient times.After all, Xia Chenhuan is not a woman, so it's better to be more straightforward in socializing.

He still drank Man Ting Fang, but he kept people drunk.But... Xiao Haoxuan pressed Xia Chenhuan's cup, looked at Liu Linxi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and pulled a faint smile, "The princess is too strong to drink, please forgive me, Mr. Liu, I will drink this cup for you."

The only thing that hasn't changed in the past year is the amount of alcohol they drink.Xia Chenhuan drank a jade bottle, her face flushed and her blue eyes dimmed.

After King Xuan finished speaking, he drank his glass of wine and poured another glass to keep people drunk.

Liu Linxi has a high position and authority, and has been secretly following the emperor since he was still Prince Yi.He has always been highly relied on, and even Xiao Haoxuan respectfully called him "Old Liu".

But in the past 12 years, there have been endless upstarts in the officialdom, including the juniors of the Liu family.

Liu Linxi could see more clearly than others, His Majesty cultivated King Xuan too fast, so fast that he could see that the emperor had plans to abdicate early.

Once the emperor and courtier, Liu Linxi already has the heart to retreat gradually.But he needs to plan for the Liu family and pave the way for his children and grandchildren.

He didn't like what King Xuan did in the matter of Xia Chenhuan.But King Xuan's methods are tough and his thoughts are clear; Xia Chenhuan can sit comfortably as a princess in the turmoil, and today's bearing is also very human.

Liu Linxi looked farther than most people, and looked back and forth between King Xuan and Princess Xuan, his eyes flickered, and finally became deep and calm.

Liu Linxi cupped his hands, with a sincere tone and a respectful attitude, "Congratulations, Your Highness, who is about to be crowned prince. You and the concubine are singing in harmony, and your love is comparable to that of an emperor. Continuing the heirs for the royal family, and winning many children and grandchildren under the knees."

Liu Linxi's words clearly expressed his support for King Xuan, which was the most obvious one tonight.The complexions of the surrounding officials all changed, because of Liu Linxi's position, his mind was spinning quickly.

The most used criticism of Xia Chenhuan was that he failed to keep the emperor's heir.

There are not a few people who covet the position of Concubine Xuan, and those who want to put people around King Xuan never stop.The matter of substitute marriage is not only related to the power of the country, if Xia Chenhuan is abolished, it means that the position of princess is vacant.And Liu Linxi's direct granddaughter is the most powerful candidate.

Before the two countries got married, Liu Linxi had planned to marry his granddaughter to King Xuan, and the empress held a wait-and-see attitude towards this, and even faintly agreed.Although the concubine has been established later, the Liu family is still very likely to become royal in-laws.Concubine?Concubine?The higher the status of King Xuan, the more vacancies around him.

Therefore, Liu Linxi's position at this moment is not only to affirm the relationship between Xuan Wang and his wife, but also to completely admit Xia Chenhuan and give up the idea of ​​marrying Xuan Wang.

Liu Linxi even had an inexplicable premonition that in the future, like his father, King Xuan would abolish all six palaces and only favor the queen.Why do I have to take the trouble to touch his Ni Lin.

I have to say that Liu Linxi's vision is too poisonous.Looking back many years later, even he himself sighed that the prediction was accurate.

The corner of Xiao Haoxuan's mouth had a genuine smile, and the hands around Xia Chenhuan's waist tightened, "Then I will accept Lao Liu's words."

Xia Chenhuan blinked, Li Dio smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Liu Linxi has a clear mind, and his influence in the court cannot be underestimated.Everyone naturally turned the rudder with the wind, toasting people one after another, and good words continued.

When Xia Chenhuan showed tiredness, Xiao Haoxuan let out his aura with a cold face, cutting off the crowd who came forward.

The man poured a cup of tea himself and put it in Xia Chenhuan's hands, and put some new hot dishes on the plate for him, and said with affection, "Eat more, it will take a lot of energy tonight."

"It's okay." Xia Chenhuan drank his tea and obediently ate all the food.Then he served Xiao Haoxuan some vegetables, looked up at the man, with smiling eyes, "My lord, eat more too."

The blush on this person's face did not fade away, and his green eyes were shining brightly, which was extremely confusing.Xiao Haoxuan's lower abdomen tightened, but he couldn't do it too much under the watchful eyes of everyone, so he could only lean over as if whispering, but actually bit his pink ear lightly.

Suddenly numbness rose, Xia Chenhuan shuddered, her face became redder, arousing Xiao Haoxuan's lust even more.

Xiao Haoxuan squinted his eyes, wishing he could just take him away and love him dearly.Nai He couldn't get away, and his expression darkened uncontrollably.It happened that the four children came back from setting off firecrackers and playing around outside the hall, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.

Si Chu and Nian Yi went back to their table to drink tea to quench their thirst, Hao Jun went to find Gu Yao, Hao Yuan was most clingy to Xia Chenhuan, and rushed straight into his arms.

A small face didn't know whether it was cold or excited, it was too red, "Sister-in-law, the firecrackers are very loud this year, it's fun."

Xia Chen's gentle smile made the child sit firmly on his lap, handed the heater to his hand, and fed him cold tea. "Yes, I heard it in the hall, it was very loud."

Hao Yuan leaned against Xia Chenhuan's arms, looking smug, drank the tea with his hand, and looked at Xiao Haoxuan with big bright eyes. "Brother Haoxuan, I'm not afraid at all, I light the fire with my own hands every time!"

Xiao Haoxuan touched the child's head, the corners of his mouth raised, "It's amazing."

Hao Yuan, who was praised, shook his legs and talked non-stop, Xia Chenhuan found time to feed the children, and Xiao Haoxuan also patiently talked to him some children's words.

After a whole day of trouble, being hugged by Nuannuan again, he was full of food and spirit.No matter how Ren said to keep vigil, Hao Yuan still nodded his head and fell asleep.

Xia Chenhuan looked at the child's sleeping face, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.He exchanged glances with Xiao Haoxuan, the man looked at one big and one small, with tenderness in his eyes.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Gu Yao, who happened to also look at him, with a helpless smile.Haojun also fell asleep in Gu Yao's arms.

When their eyes meet, the two can understand each other's thoughts in an instant.

Xiao Haoxuan stared at Gu Yao, his eyes darkened, and the flash of light in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

He turned around and carefully took Haoyuan into his arms, stretched out his hand to gently caress Xia Chenhuan's side face, "I will send the children back to Weiyang Palace, it's too cold outside, you wait here for me to come back."

Firstly, Xia Chenhuan was afraid of the cold, Xiao Haoxuan didn't want him to run around.Secondly, he wanted to be alone with Gu Yao for a while.

The interaction between the two fell into Xia Chenhuan's eyes, his eyes flashed sadly, and he smiled, "Yes."

Same as last year, Xiao Haoxuan and Gu Yao held a doll each, while Si Chu and Nian Yi walked in front, and they retired first and returned to Weiyang Palace.

Xiao Haoxuan and Gu Yao sent the four children back to Jinmoju, Si Chu and Nian Yi also felt sleepy, and went to bed obediently.

There were maids and eunuchs watching over them, Xiao Haoxuan and Gu Yao walked slowly back to Mingluan Hall, talking one after another.

When he walked to the garden in front of the hall, Xiao Haoxuan suddenly stopped, staring at Gu Yao with dark eyes without saying a word.

He motioned slightly, Gu Yao raised his eyebrows, and followed him into the Bajiaobai Pavilion.

There were few people in Weiyang Palace, Xiao Haoxuan slightly indicated that there were only two of them left in the garden.

In the middle of winter night, although there is no cold wind, the temperature is really biting.Red plums and white plums bloom alternately, showing a half-hidden beauty against the warm light of the lanterns.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Plum Blossom in a trance, his eyes were deep and complicated, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Gu Yao didn't rush, knowing that this person had something to say, so he quietly waited for him to speak.

After a long while, Xiao Haoxuan turned to face Gu Yao, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes.His chest didn't swell up to burst like before, it could swallow him up every moment.There is no untouchable despair, no haze of dejection.

Xiao Haoxuan looked into Gu Yao's eyes, and said every word indifferently, but the deep eyes made it impossible to doubt his words.

"I love you, Gu Yao, I used to love you very much." The moment I said it, the weight on my chest and heart finally disappeared.

Xiao Haoxuan took a deep breath, so smoothly that the corners of his mouth even turned up.

There was a "boom" in Gu Yao's mind, and he was stunned by the thunder, and stared at Xiao Haoxuan in disbelief.He never thought that Hao Xuan would confess his confession, even under such unexpected circumstances.

Gu Yao was at a loss, his whole body was numb and he couldn't move, his throat was so tight that he almost suffocated, he couldn't think anymore.

Xiao Haoxuan received it on his own, "I never intended for you to notice it, let alone tell it, even though you already knew about it."

He laughed at himself, "I'm too cowardly, I'm afraid I'll lose even the chance to stay by your side."

"Haoxuan..." Gu Yao was so sad that he opened his mouth several times and squeezed out only these two words, but couldn't continue.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't care much, as if he wasn't talking about himself, "I thought I hid it well, thought I couldn't care, but I overestimated myself after all. Gu Yao, I'm too rotten inside. When love becomes paranoid, I I'm really afraid that I will become dark and crazy, and I will no longer look like myself."

Gu Yao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his eyes were red.Hao Xuan's every word seemed to be cut in his heart with a knife, and the pain penetrated to the marrow of his bone.

"I'm in too much pain, but I can't break free." Xiao Haoxuan's eyes softened suddenly, and his deep affection couldn't be concealed in his words, "Until I met Chen Huan, everything seemed to be logical. I don't know when I will no longer be depressed, no longer suffering, no longer vicious, I don’t think of you anymore. By the time I realize it, he has already touched all my emotions, and I can’t take it away from my heart.”

Feeling unacceptable, going deeper.

Gu Yao listened to Hao Xuan's words in a daze, and then his heart beat and he started to breathe again.

Looking at Hongmei, Xiao Haoxuan must have thought of that person. In his eyes was the tenderness that Gu Yao had never seen before, "Chen Huan is too warm, his love is too touching, almost a sacrificial love. He is my salvation , Let the wound heal and the haze dissipate."

Xiao Haoxuan looked directly at Gu Yao, without any embarrassment, frankly and sincerely, "Gu Yao, you used to be my whole world. Not just love, without you, there would be no Xiao Haoxuan, and there would be no King Xuan."

His eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "But it's probably too much. When love, family affection, friendship, admiration, and desire are mixed together, it becomes unbearable and becomes a bondage."

Gu Yao frowned and bit his lips, feeling uncontrollably distressed.In the past few years, he has been extremely guilty, and he has recalled the past thousands of times, but he can't find a point of change in the end.

Xiao Haoxuan probably didn't know how gentle his expression was, and his eyes revealed indescribable affection, "But love shouldn't be like that, love is mutual respect and appreciation, and long-term companionship."

His voice was very soft, but his firmness made it impossible to doubt, "I can watch you with the emperor without changing your face. But I can't bear others touching Chen Huan, coveting him, and I can't imagine the life without him. I want to be with you Chen Huan has been going on, every day, until the end."

Gu Yao's tears fell like a broken thread, and he smiled unconsciously.Laughing in tears, choking hard.

He finally understood what Hao Xuan was doing.

Xiao Haoxuan was giving himself an end.From this moment on, he completely let go of Gu Yao.

From then on, Xiao Haoxuan only loved Xia Chenhuan, wholeheartedly, sincerely and purely.

Pour your life into love, the only one.
