Chu Liancheng was a little annoyed. He felt that Xiao Chengyi did it on purpose. All the civil and military officials were present at the palace banquet today. Wasn't this a joke on him?
He took a deep breath and glared at Xiao Chengyi fiercely.
Xiao Chengyi turned a blind eye, with a smile on his lips, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Xiao Chongjun is a smart person. From the time Xiao Qiyan and Xiao Chengyi sang together, he knew what his nephew was planning?
He smiled and said: "Liancheng really followed your father."
Chu Heng's face darkened, he looked at his unsatisfied son, then at Xiao Chongjun who was sitting on the throne, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is joking, I was much more knowledgeable than my stupid son back then."
Jiang Nian couldn't help but feel a little curious as he listened to their monarchs and ministers playing riddles.
I wonder what happened to Chu Liancheng’s father back then?
A palace banquet that took the wind and washed away the dust did not end until the afternoon.
The officials retreated one after another.
After leaving Chaoyue Tower, Chu Heng looked at him with disgust and said: "You have completely disgraced me. Why do you think I gave birth to such a useless son like you?"
Chu Heng snorted: "Let me ask you, the regent said you have a sweetheart, who is this person?"
Chu Liancheng lowered his head, looking reluctant to mention it.
Chu Heng said: "I can guess even if you don't tell me, this person is definitely not from Nanyue.
I think it was when you and the regent went to southern Xinjiang that you had the idea, so it can only be that girl from the Mu family, Yun Xi."
Shen Yunxi did not come to the banquet today. Wu Xuanye didn't like the excitement, and it was not appropriate for his identity to be known to unimportant people.
Chu Liancheng didn't mention it to his father. When his father mentioned Yunxi, he said seriously: "Dad, I like Yunxi, but she has someone she likes, and I have let go of her. Now I just think of her as my sister.
.”
When Chu Heng heard this, the corners of his lips moved. His Majesty was indeed right. His son was indeed like him.
He sighed and said, "Before I married your mother, I also had someone I liked."
Chu Liancheng said: "I know, she is Xiao Chengyi's mother, His Majesty's sister. My mother secretly told me."
Chu Heng smiled. The past was like a dream. In the blink of an eye, the children had grown up and he was old.
He said: "Then did your mother ever tell you how we got together?"
Chu Liancheng shook his head.
Chu Heng said: "Your mother is different from ordinary women in the boudoir. She always pestered me at that time, so much so that I wanted to hide when I saw her."
Chu Liancheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of Jiang Nianlai.
He listened quietly to his father continue speaking.
"But suddenly one day, she stopped pestering me and started talking and laughing with other men, and even talked about getting married.
During that time, I was very irritable and didn't know what was wrong with me. It wasn't until I saw her die in front of me that I fully understood my feelings."
Chu Liancheng looked shocked: "My mother died once?"
Chu Heng shook his head: "Actually, it was just a play put on by Xiao Chengyi's parents.
Without them, I might have missed your mother in this life."
He looked at Chu Liancheng and said: "There is a kind of emotion in this world called hindsight. Don't wait until you lose it to understand your own feelings."
He patted Chu Liancheng on the shoulder, then turned and walked down the steps.
Chu Liancheng stood in front of the main hall, looking at his father's leaving figure, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Master Chu, are you waiting for me?"
Chu Liancheng came back to his senses and turned to look at the people coming out of the hall.
It was Jiang Nian.
She drank wine, and her little face glowed slightly with a blush, which made her look particularly beautiful.
