The palace was extremely lively.
Even though the emperor and the ladies of the harem were present, and even though the table was full of delicious food and wine, the officials and family members still did not dare to let go.
But what an honor it is to be given a banquet in the palace?
In particular, you can also see the emperor and queen’s appearance up close.
When should we not eat delicacies?
Next, the princes went to the emperor and queen to toast. The eldest prince, Chu Chengye, toasted the king and returned to the table, looking at the emperor's younger brothers.
As soon as his eyes turned, he first fell on Chu Xinyuan. He smiled and said: "Fifth Emperor Brother, among our brothers, you are the first to get married. Why are you here alone today? Are your brothers and sisters not together? Are you ready to toast later?
Double respect?"
The fourth prince, King Chu Yuncheng, had always been secretly competing with Chu Chengye. When he saw Chu Chengye eyeing Chu Xinyuan, he helped him and said, "The fifth brother and sister must be sick again! If the father, the queen, and the queen know this, they will definitely be considerate!"
Chu Xinyuan said: "Yes, she is sick, and her father, the Queen, and her mother are here. How can we let the sick person get close to her for fear of passing the illness?"
Next to him, a man in azure brocade robes with gold hairpins and jade belt chuckled softly. His facial features were exquisite, with a bit of laziness and casualness, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be Yang Feiyang. His long and narrow red phoenix eyes were deep, transparent, and bright. It was just that
He is lazy and casual, and seems incompatible with the majestic princes sitting here.
This is the Seventh Prince Chu Jingxian.
The other princes were all wearing court uniforms, but this one, although he was wearing brocade clothes, was wearing regular clothes. Judging from the unfazed looks in the princes' eyes, it was obvious that he had always been like this.
Chu Chengye, like an ordinary friendly brother, said gently: "What are you laughing at, seventh brother?"
Chu Jingxian smiled lazily and said: "My younger brother is thinking that the Fifth Emperor's Wife has been sick for more than three months. Should we go visit her? Otherwise, if the Fifth Emperor's Wife becomes a ghost in the future, will she also
Do you want to blame us for being cool as brothers?"
Chu Chengye agreed and said: "What the seventh brother said makes sense. We are all brothers. It is unreasonable for the fifth brother and sister not to visit the doctor when they are sick!"
Chu Xinyuan said indifferently: "No need!"
"Why is it not necessary?" King An Chu Chengyu immediately agreed: "It is very necessary! Speaking of which, we haven't really met the fifth sister-in-law yet!"
King An and King Jing, who share the same mother-in-law, are naturally on King Jing’s side.
Each of them had a fifth younger brother and a younger sister, and each one had a fifth sister-in-law. Chu Xinyuan's heart grew colder and colder as they heard this. They were reminders of that woman's existence.
But he didn't want to think of that woman at all.
He raised his glass and said: "We brothers are gathered together, why are we talking about outsiders? Come on, let me toast you all, brothers and sisters!"
This fight was not done skillfully. It was obvious that Chu Xinyuan simply hated mentioning Mu Qingyu and was not even willing to find a decent excuse.
Chu Chengye smiled slightly, while Chu Yuncheng's eyes were deep.
The other brothers also tacitly understood each other and stopped mentioning the matter. They each raised their glasses and had a drink.
However, Chu Xinyuan didn't want to mention it, but it didn't happen.
After the princes finished their toast and returned to their seats, a figure swayed over from the important ministers' table over there.
This is a banquet given by the palace. Of course, no one is really drunk and walking around, but they are just acting under the influence of drunkenness.
Chu Chengye showed a meaningful smile on his face and looked at Chu Xinyuan.
Everyone's eyes also fell on Chu Xinyuan.
The one who came is Mu Mingyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who had never had any personal contact with Chu Xinyuan since he got married, was holding a cup in one hand and a pot in the other. He first said with a smile: "Your Highnesses, I am polite!"
