Chapter 125: Gathered together at a reunion, the words are numbing
"What's the matter?" Chu Qing-Yan immediately became interested.
"In half a month, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Father Emperor wants us to enter the imperial palace to partic.i.p.ate in the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet." Xiao Xu carressed her hair and said in a gentle voice. He knew she didn't like the imperial palace, but it was only a once a year reunion, all members of the royal family must partic.i.p.ate and won't be excused.
Chu Qing-Yan in the next instant wanted to ask if she could not go, but the words hadn't left her mouth before she stopped it. She knew that to the outsider, she was already Princess Consort Ying, not partic.i.p.ating would be considered inexcusable. Moreover, after experiencing a tour of the imperial palace last time, she already had a deep understanding of Big Block of Ice's situation. Therefore, she could not be headstrong to set aside matters for gossip that other people could use to castigate Big Block of Ice.
"Does the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet have anything good to eat? Large crab? Chrysanthemum wine? Shark fin soup?" Chu Qing-Yan pretended to be curious and asked.
Xiao Xu saw her didn't get tangled up in whether she should go or not, and he suddenly released a breath of relief in his heart. In reality, he subconsciously wanted her to go, watching others talking and laughing cheerfully, he also wanted to have the feeling of having family accompany him. Father Emperor and Empress were too distant, the only one he could grasp was this bit of warmth in his hand!
"They have all of it, if they don't have it, when we come back, ask Huang Yi to make it for you."
Chu Qing-Yan smiled until her eyes became a thin line. "Alright!"
Xiao Xu seeing her behaving so well, his heart softened. "We'll be going to the banquet at night, but there is nothing planned during the day. You could invite your parents to come to the manor to celebrate the festival."
Chu Qing-Yan's eyes lit up. "Really?"
