Quick Wear: The host is a jerk again and runs away

The palace was decorated with lights and festive lanterns hung all over the palace. It was the end of the year and it was also a day for family reunion.

Big red lanterns swayed gently in the night breeze. On the palace walls, golden dragon and phoenix patterns sparkled in the lights, reflecting the snowflakes, making it look even more magnificent.

In the pavilions and towers of the palace, the sound of music and stringed instruments could be heard. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy preparing for the banquet.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a huge stage has been built, on which a lively song and dance performance is being performed. The dancers are dressed in colorful clothes, dancing gracefully, and the dazzling fireworks complement each other.

The princes and ministers sat around the banquet, enjoying the grand performance, with laughter and joy audible from time to time.

The King of Chu sat upright on a high seat, with Xue Yi sitting next to him, eating with gusto.

The girl stuffed several snacks into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster.

The King of Chu laughed and said jokingly, "No one is competing with you for it, why are you in such a hurry to eat it?"

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xueyi, who took it quickly, mumbling, "Thank you... Father..."

Emperor Chu rubbed her head lovingly and felt that his daughter was becoming more and more adorable.

Arou, did you see it?

Our daughter grew up safely...

The people in the audience were also quite moved by the scene of loving father and filial daughter. His Majesty is truly devoted to the Imperial Concubine.

The dragon throne can be sat on with Princess Ningrong. If His Highness Ningrong is a prince, he will definitely be the crown prince.

It’s a pity that she is a princess.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty, Princess Ningrong is very smart, gentle and quiet. This June, she will have her coming-of-age ceremony. I just wonder if Your Majesty has any choice for a consort?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet fell silent.

Emperor Chu's face suddenly turned cold and he touched Xue Yi's head again and again.

His Axue is still young, and these people can't wait to set their eyes on her and want to control her marriage. What a dream.

Xue Yi was so frightened by the silence all around her that she dared not eat anymore.

[Xiao 7, what's going on? Why is no one talking suddenly...]

[My dear hen, I was just watching a TV series. ]

[…If I’m unreliable, then you’re also unreliable? ]

【All follow the master. 】

Snow: ...

She sat up straight, wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth, and forced a sweet smile.

Well... I don't know what happened, but smiling is the right thing to do.

"Ningrong's marriage will be discussed later. She can choose her own husband."

Xue Yi was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at Emperor Chu.

Oh my god, it turns out they want to choose a prince consort for her...

The Minister of Revenue was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly and replied, "Yes."

After the incident, the banquet returned to its peaceful and harmonious state.

Xue Yi was bored and secretly tugged at Emperor Chu's sleeve, "Father, I want to go out for a walk. I don't want to watch this anymore..."

"Go, and let the palace servants follow you so that you don't get lost." The Emperor of Chu nodded, but did not detain her.

Xue Yi slipped out successfully and walked a short distance when she suddenly heard the sound of a piano. She followed the sound to the edge of a lake.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and a blue figure is sitting in the pavilion playing the piano.

[Second rule of Xue's strategy book: The heroine will definitely meet an important person if she sneaks out of the party.]

Ok……

Let her guess. Ye Li was a soldier and couldn't play the piano, Qi Wuyou liked white clothes, and Murong Chen lived in the Zhou Dynasty. Then, the handsome man in blue playing the piano must be the legendary cold and aloof national teacher Bai Yu!

Xue Yi's eyes lit up and she was about to go over when a voice came from behind her.

"Princess." The boy's voice was very light, but Xue Yi still recognized it immediately.

Oh my god, why is the villain here?!

She put on a smile and turned around. The moment she saw Qi Wuyou, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and excitement, "Wuyou~"

She giggled and threw herself into the boy's arms, rubbing her nose against his chest subconsciously.

Then he suddenly thought of something, took out a box from his sleeve and handed it over.

Qi Wuyou took it and opened the box.

A luxurious white jade hairpin lay quietly in the box. The hairpin body was carved with delicate cloud patterns, and the head of the hairpin was inlaid with a crystal gem, emitting a faint light.

Such a hairpin was obviously very valuable. He pursed his lips, closed the lid and handed it back. "I don't want it."

Xue Yi was stunned by the excitement, and then she looked visibly disappointed, "Why... I picked it for a long time... I felt that the white color suits you very well, so I have been wearing it all the time. I want to give it to you when I have the chance."

"I'll bring it for you."

Without waiting for Qi Wuyou to react, she snatched the box and inserted the hairpin into his hair.

Qi Wuyou subconsciously wanted to take it off, but the girl held his hand tightly, "Don't take it off, or I will be angry!"

Xue Yi looked fierce and threatened viciously, but with that delicate and pretty face, she really had no killing power.

The young man lowered his eyes and looked at the girl's cheeks puffed up due to anger. He thought it was so cute and his heart felt a little softer.

Just now at the banquet, she ate like a little hamster, with her mouth stuffed full.

"Okay, I won't pick it." He didn't insist and gently withdrew his hand.

[Qi Wuyou's Favorability +1]

Xueyi felt the slightly cool fingertips leaving her, and she felt sad and was about to cry.

Could you please not be so chaste?

You don't even like a beautiful, noble, delicate, and easily seduced princess?

She even started to wonder if Qi Wuyou had taken a course in men's ethics, as he knew how to protect himself so well.

The two walked side by side. Xue Yi inadvertently looked up at the pavilion in the middle of the lake again, but the extraordinary figure was no longer there.

What a pity! I had a chance to meet Bai Yu, but who knew the villain would suddenly show up.

Hey……

It's really unpredictable, and it's difficult to seduce a man.

As night fell, fireworks burst into colorful light in the sky, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day.

The palace lanterns and fireworks are intertwined to form a series of gorgeous and colorful pictures, adding a unique festive and warmth to the palace.

Xueyi pointed at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky excitedly. She subconsciously grabbed the boy's hand and said, "Look, Wuyou, it's fireworks! Do you have fireworks in Northern Qi?"

Qi Wuyou felt his fingers being hooked away again. He sighed helplessly but still didn't shake her off.

The boy looked at the light blooming in the night sky, and felt even more tired. His voice was calm, but with a hint of barely perceptible sadness, "Yes."

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, fireworks were also set off.

But he has become a discarded pawn and can never go back.

His mother has passed away. In such a big world, where is his home?

Under the moonlight, the boy's shadow was stretched longer. He looked up at the sky, loneliness flickering in his eyes.

Xue Yi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she held the boy's hand tightly. The warm feeling came over him. Qi Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at the girl who was staring at him.

"Wuyou, I will watch the fireworks with you every year from now on, okay?" She held his hand like a treasure, placed it against her heart, smiled gently, and her eyes were full of care.

Clusters of fireworks exploded, emitting brilliant light.

Finally, he heard himself say, "Okay."
