The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy
Chapter 465 Mermaid 29
The banquet was held as scheduled, but Li Xingchen and Li Manman were missing, as well as Han Luo, who was also locked up because of Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen and Li Manman, the two former favorites of the royal family, are now imprisoned. Their fate is in sharp contrast to this banquet.
The guests were talking in low voices, some expressing regret, some sighing, but more of them were speculating and worried about the future direction of the royal family.
Li Ye stood in a corner of the banquet, observing everything quietly.
His eyes were deep and firm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
There are only three children in the royal family. Now the other two have been locked up, leaving Li Ye alone. The final candidate for the throne is self-evident.
The queen moved among the guests with a decent smile on her face, but the sadness in her eyes was hard to conceal.
She looked at Li Ye from time to time, as if looking for some comfort, while Li Tianyi stood on the podium, his eyes sweeping over every guest present, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty and determination.
Halfway through the banquet, Li Tianyi raised his glass and addressed the guests.
His voice was loud and firm, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force. He thanked the guests for their support and expressed his confidence and expectations for the future of the empire. At the same time, he also mentioned the betrayal of Li Xingchen and Li Manman, and the damage they had caused to the empire.
"However," Li Tianyi changed the subject, "the empire will not be shaken by betrayal. We will continue to move forward, for our people, for our future."
The guests stood up and raised their glasses to salute Li Tianyi.
Their eyes were full of respect and trust, as if to say: "No matter what the future holds, we will fight alongside you."
Li Tianyi then announced the marriage of Li Ye and Sheng Rao.
"Everything Li Xingchen did was done by him alone. He framed Princess Sheng Rao and made her bear the infamy. This shameful behavior makes me very sad."
"However, peace between the two tribes is the most important. Li Xingchen has to bear all the responsibility for his mistakes. For the sake of peace between the two tribes, the eldest prince Li Ye and Princess Sheng Rao will now be engaged in marriage to continue the marriage relationship between the two tribes!"
As Li Tianyi finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell into a brief silence, followed by thunderous applause.
The guests cast their blessings towards Li Ye and Sheng Rao. They knew that this marriage was not only about the happiness of two people, but also about the peace and future of the two major ethnic groups.
Li Ye took Sheng Rao's hand and they stood side by side.
"From today on, Princess Sheng Rao is my prince's fiancée. In my eyes, she is the kindest and most innocent woman. She should not bear the stigma. She is the best woman in the world! And she is my favorite!"
Li Ye's words were warm and firm, like a ray of sunshine in spring, penetrating the haze caused by the accident in the banquet hall and illuminating Sheng Rao's face. Sheng Rao gently shook Li Ye's hand and their eyes met. There was no need for words, their feelings for each other were obvious.
Seeing this, the queen raised her lips into a gentle smile, but her eyes were slightly red.
She knew very well that this marriage was not just a political marriage, but also a spiritual harmony between two young people, and the best compensation for past misunderstandings and injuries.
She walked forward slowly, patted Sheng Rao's back gently, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You deserve all this."
The atmosphere of the banquet became more lively because of this announcement. The music sounded again and people on the dance floor began to dance to celebrate this sudden good news.
Li Ye and Sheng Rao also stepped into the dance floor amid everyone's expectations, dancing lightly and in perfect harmony, as if the whole world had stopped.
However, behind this celebration, there are people who are silently enduring pain and unwillingness.
The news of Li Xingchen's detention was like a huge rock, weighing on everyone's heart, especially those who once supported Li Xingchen.
In Li Xingchen's cell, the dim candlelight flickered, illuminating his pale and haggard face.
He sat on the cold stone bed, staring ahead with empty eyes, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.
He recalled his past glory and honor, the days when he was surrounded by people and the attention of the public, as if it was just yesterday, but it was out of reach. He understood that his momentary impulse and wrong judgment not only ruined his future, but also the throne.
All his efforts were in vain. If he had not met Han Luo and fallen in love with Han Luo, would he not have been locked up?
If he had been nicer to Sheng Rao, he would definitely not have ended up like this!
Li Xingchen clenched his hands into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he seemed not to feel the pain, but more of a desire for freedom and power.
He was unwilling to fail like this and be trapped in this cage.
Li Xingchen only has resentment towards Han Luo now. If it weren't for her, he would definitely not have fallen to this point.
At the same time, in another cell in the palace, Han Luo was also in deep thought.
She never thought that her love would bring such a severe disaster to Li Xingchen and even to herself.
She was originally born into a common family. If she had not entered the school in place of her brother, she would never have met Li Xingchen and become the prince's consort.
At this moment, she was sitting in the corner of the cell, her hands wrapped around her thin knees, her eyes revealing confusion and helplessness.
She recalled every detail of her acquaintance with Li Xingchen; those sweet words and vows seemed still echoing in her ears, but reality dealt her a cruel blow.
Han Luo couldn't help but burst into tears. She didn't know where her future lay, and she didn't know how to face all this.
Her feelings towards Li Xingchen were complicated and tangled, with both love and hate, but more of it was helplessness and regret.
She hated Li Xingchen's ruthlessness, and also hated her own ignorance and blindness.
However, all this is irreversible. She can only silently endure the imprisonment and wait for an unknown fate.
But at this moment, Li Manman didn’t think so much. What she was thinking about now was how to get out.
Li Manman and Li Xingchen were locked up together. She looked at Li Xingchen with only a sneer on her face.
She also heard the noise outside. This was a national banquet. They were locked up in a cell, but her father and mother were actually interested in holding a banquet. It was obvious that they had really been abandoned.
Li Manman was unwilling to give up. She didn't want to be abandoned like this. She still had dreams and ambitions. She didn't want to spend her whole life in this dark cell.
"Li Xingchen, you are such a coward. Are you just going to accept your fate? We can't just sit there and wait to die." Li Manman walked to Li Xingchen and whispered.
Li Xingchen did not respond. He seemed to be immersed in his own world, oblivious to everything in the outside world.
