rebirth will be hard to find

It's just a Dragon Boat Festival, why is everyone acting weird?

Cheng Zian was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Zhang Dai, and secretly looked down at himself several times.But she just went back to Qiyunxuan to change her clothes, and she didn't find anything wrong with Li Lin all the way here, and she couldn't find anything wrong after looking it up several times, so she finally bit the bullet and asked Zhang Dai: "Elder-in-law is watching What, but what's wrong with me?"

Zhang Dai took a deep look at Cheng Zian, then withdrew his gaze, and said with a normal expression: "Young Master, there is nothing wrong with him, but it's the first time for His Highness to attend the dinner, she brought two of you, and invited you two." Take good care of her."

Cheng Zian and Li Lin didn't expect Zhang Dai to say such a thing, and they were a little flattered when they heard the words, so they nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Chu Yi finally cleaned up.She looked at the sky and found that it was past You hour, and it was not long before the dinner party started.So there was no nonsense, and I took my two companions and a group of accompanying palace people to the Xuande Hall where the palace was held.

Chu Yi arrived neither early nor too late. When she took people into the Xuande Hall, [-]% of the ministers who attended the dinner today had already arrived, and the Xuande Hall was already full of excitement, but the emperor and the prince were still there not coming.They always wait until everyone is present, and then they will go to the meeting on time under the eyes of everyone at the moment before the start of the dinner.

Everyone was used to chatting and joking before the dinner, and suddenly they heard the palace servants outside the Xuande Hall suddenly announce "His Royal Highness is here", and the originally noisy Xuande Hall fell silent for a moment.After a while, these people finally remembered that His Majesty the Emperor once again recognized a princess who was born in a cold palace during the first day of offering sacrifices to heaven, and now the heir in the palace is no longer the Crown Prince.

Just when everyone was stunned, Chu Yi had already led people into the hall.She was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary demeanor, even when facing a group of high-ranking and important ministers, she still walked calmly when she walked slowly, as if she was naturally extravagant.

Cheng Zian and Li Lin followed Chu Yi into the hall, seeing the contempt hidden in the expressions of the ministers gradually becoming solemn, they straightened their shoulders unconsciously, but their hearts were complicated for a moment— —They have been with Chu Yi for a few months, but this is the first time they have discovered that the other party has such an aura that they have completely overwhelmed all the ministers in the palace!

Maybe some people are born different?

At this moment, the two teenagers felt more solemn in their hearts.If they had only regarded Chu Yi as a companion when they were studying and practicing martial arts before, or even faintly regarded her as a younger sister because of her young age, then at this moment, they had truly realized what the difference between a monarch and a subject is.

Chu Yi walked past the group of officials calmly with full aura. Looking at the familiar faces on the seats on both sides, she almost had the illusion of returning to her previous life.But at this time, the officials did not kneel down, and the palace guides stopped before leading her to the steps—the dragon chair on the high platform did not belong to her at this time, and with her current status, she could not even sit on it. The position of the lower head.The lower left head is the position of the crown prince, and the lower right head seems to be reserved for the envoys of the Yan Kingdom who will come today, and she is placed next to the prince.

Naturally, there was nothing to be picky about the seat, so Chu Yi stood still beside his seat.It wasn't until this time that the ministers who were captured by her aura finally came back to their senses, and each of them had a little bit of surprise in their eyes.

Prime Minister Zhang is the most mature and prudent, and he is also well-known among the ministers. He immediately took the lead and bowed to Chu Yi: "I will pay my respects to Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, May I be safe!"

His words seemed to have completely awakened everyone. No matter how they looked at Chu Yi, there was a difference between monarchs and ministers, so they all bowed and saluted: "I will pay my respects to Your Royal Highness, Your Highness is blessed and safe!"

Cheng Zian and Li Lin were standing behind Chu Yi, and seeing so many ministers saluting in their direction, they couldn't help but turn sideways to avoid it.Chu Yi raised his hand calmly, and said in a flat tone: "My lords, please forgive me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw an apricot-yellow figure suddenly appearing at the entrance of the main hall.Taking a closer look, it was His Royal Highness who came early. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he said with a smile: "Ah Yi came too early today, I thought you would wait for me to come with you."

Different from the cold scene when Chu Yi came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared in the main hall, and the officials immediately reacted, and immediately turned around to salute again: "I will pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness is blessed and safe."

The prince waved his hands indifferently, with a gentle smile on his face: "You don't need to be too polite."

The Xuande Hall does not compare to Huadian, so Chu Yi also saluted with everyone.She knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come early today, probably to support her, fearing that she would be slighted or neglected.Even when she was fully trained by the old emperor in her previous life, she never felt this kind of intentions, and immediately softened her voice and smiled: "Brother, don't blame me, this is my first time attending a dinner party, so I came a little early out of curiosity .”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked calmly from the entrance of the main hall. His demeanor was a little different from Chu Yi's when he walked, and there was a spring-like gentleness under his majesty.But from Cheng Zian and Li Lin's point of view, the two brothers and sisters seemed to have a natural nobility. Once the aura is opened, it will naturally make people surrender.

The prince walked all the way in front of Chu Yi, and he put his hand on Chu Yi's shoulder in a friendly manner, and said with a gentle smile: "It's good to be early, can I meet with you adults, can I ask Brother Huang to introduce you to someone?" Fan?"

Chu Yi glanced at the important ministers in the hall. Although they were emperors and courtiers, they were all the ministers of Chu State. After she ascended the throne, she didn't replace many of them, so she probably knew these people.However, she shook her head and said to the prince's question: "No need, brother, I am still studying in the study, and I may not have any interaction with you adults."

Saying this is actually a statement, and the intention is that she has no intention of fighting for power.

How many people who can stand in the hall at this moment are not human beings?Apart from them, Chu Yi actually said it to the old emperor's people, and she never forgot the meaning of her name.

His Royal Highness heard the words, but he couldn't say that he was disappointed or anything else. The decades of prince's career was obviously more accumulation than Chu Yi's hasty years of emperor's career.As far as happiness and anger are invisible, he has always done a good job, even Chu Yi can't see anything from his face: "In this case, then Ayi will sit with me, and also with me." Let me tell you what you have seen and heard today."

The seats for the two of them were arranged at the same place, and the crown prince took Chu Yi by the hand and led her to sit behind the seats.As for Cheng Zian and Li Lin who were brought by Chu Yi, they were arranged to sit in the second row of seats behind Chu Yi.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Cheng Zian felt that His Royal Highness seemed to glance at him up and down.

******************************************************************************

The early arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince was only because of the emperor's daughter. The old emperor still waited until the last moment before passing through the crowd kneeling on the ground with majestic steps amidst the shouts of the crowd, and then stepped onto the high platform to sit on the dragon's seat. chair, and then raised his hand and shouted: "Everyone loves you."

When everyone was seated again, the Dragon Boat Festival dinner did not start directly as in previous years.As Zhang Dai said, there were still envoys from the Kingdom of Yan coming, and the seats facing the crown prince and Chu Yi were still empty.

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom didn't make people wait too long, after everyone was seated, they heard a loud report from the palace guard at the entrance of the main hall: "The envoy of the Yan Kingdom has an audience..."

Chu Yi was a little curious, and turned his head to glance at the entrance of the main hall when he heard the sound.But saw a group of people stepping into the hall, the leader was a young man in light yellow Chinese clothes, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he looked very dignified and imposing.

"Li Jun, envoy of Yan State, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu State." The leading young man took the lead in saluting, with a calm demeanor.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whispered next to him and explained: "This is the third prince of the Yan Kingdom. It is said that he is the only son of Emperor Yan's favorite concubine, and also the most beloved son of Emperor Yan."

When Chu Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows.Hearing this name, she was not so unfamiliar with this person. In her previous life, she had heard that the third prince was fighting for the throne with Crown Prince Yan, and the two fought fiercely.However, Emperor Yan was much healthier than the old emperor, and until she died in the rebellion, she did not hear the result of the battle for the position.

Diplomatic dialogues are always so boring, Chu Yi lost interest after listening to the old emperor and Li Jun answering a few words.She approached the prince calmly, and asked in a low voice: "Does the emperor know that this prince suddenly came here on an envoy, why?"

His Royal Highness frowned slightly, and then snorted softly: "It's always uneasy and kind."

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chu Yi have completely reached an agreement on Yan Guo's attitude.However, Li Jun and the old emperor had a conversation, but they didn't mention any serious business at all, it was no different from an ordinary courteous envoy, as if he came here just for fun.

Did this prince who was loved by Emperor Yan really just come here to play?Not to mention that Chu Yi, who knew he was ambitious, didn't believe it, even His Royal Highness, who didn't know him very well, didn't believe it either.

But whether they believe it or not, after the prince of the enemy country finished his greetings and presented the old emperor with a gift, he calmly sat down opposite Chu Yi and the others.Noticing Chu Yi's scrutinizing gaze, he looked over calmly, and smiled and nodded at Chu Yi, with a gentle and polite look.

It's a pity that the word gentle and courteous has been used to the extreme in His Highness the Crown Prince. Chu Yi was not attracted by his gentle smile at all, but felt that this person was hypocritical.It's just hypocrisy and not hypocrisy, let's not mention it, as the host, she can't be rude, so she nodded lightly as a response, and then looked away.

The Dragon Boat Festival dinner finally started. A skilled luthier played a beautiful movement, graceful dancers filed in and danced gracefully, and some ministers took the opportunity to congratulate the old emperor on the festival and sing praises...

In fact, Chu Yi has always felt that such a banquet is very boring, and she just glanced at the singing and dancing lightly, and then ate the delicious food in front of her with a lack of interest.There is also a jug of wine on her case table, but it is different from the wine on other people's tables, because she is underage, what is prepared in her jug ​​is only some rum for food, she pours a glass and takes a sip, it is a bit sweet The sizzling taste, the taste is not bad.

"Zian, try this broiled mutton, it tastes really good!" Chu Yi is obviously not the only one who only loves to eat and drink in Wuxin Song and Dance, and Li Lin who is sitting behind her seems to have started to feast on it.

Chu Yi glanced back slightly, but he didn't dare to move too much in the hall, and saw nothing.She curled her lips helplessly, and took a piece of broiled mutton and chewed it. It tasted really good, and it was delicious, but she still had the urge to go to the back seat to eat, drink and chat with Cheng Zian and the others.

"Why, you were very interested at first, but now you feel bored?" His Highness the Prince's voice came from the side with a smile.

Chu Yi curled his lips, and complained softly to the elder brother without reservation: "This song and dance is so boring, what's so good about being soft? But these ministers are still smiling, and they look very appreciative. "

The prince laughed lightly after hearing this, but did not comment, and only asked: "Then what does Ah Yi think is interesting?"

Chu Yi thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "It's all boring. It's not as exciting as the jugglers I saw on the streets of the capital today. It's a pity that those things are hard to be elegant, and they can only be seen on the street. .”

The two brothers and sisters were talking together, when Chu Yi suddenly caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a flash of light out of the corner of his eye.Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively felt that something was wrong. She grabbed the prince's arm with one hand. The prince next to her.

"There are assassins!" A cry of surprise broke the tranquility of Xuande Hall in an instant.
