He killed someone, she finished him off, even the crazy Marquis was shocked

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Queen's birthday banquet.

The Queen's birthday celebration involved Guangyuan Han's family, so it was naturally a grand occasion.

Although Li Siwan had not yet married into the family, he was specifically included in the list of invited guests.

However, the palace banquet was divided into two parts: one was the lunch for all the ministers in the court, and the other was the dinner for the royal family and their wives.

The lunch was held in the front court and the dinner was held in the harem, so Li Siwan was there to attend the dinner.

The palace banquet was grand, so Li Siwan couldn't be negligent. In addition, today's palace banquet was organized by Su Xiaoyao, so she naturally couldn't be too simple.

Otherwise, she would be the most conspicuous one among all the flowers.

Xiahou Su went to the lunch first, then turned back, picked up Li Siwan, and went to the dinner.

Today he was not as dark and fierce as before. On the contrary, he was gentle and elegant in the light blue brocade robe, which, coupled with the gloom in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, only made him look cold and ethereal.

Li Siwan was also wearing the same clothes, but she had changed her makeup. She looked bright and radiant, but not as gentle and dignified as before.

The two of them stood side by side, still like a fairy couple.

The dinner was still held in the palace next to the Imperial Garden. When Li Si arrived late, there were already quite a few people inside.

Everywhere you look, you have your own thoughts.

Li Siwan was too lazy to pay attention. The dinner hadn't started yet, so Li Siwan had no choice but to follow Xiahou Su to the Imperial Garden.

"Stop talking about it. After all, she is also a princess."

"What princess? She's just a bastard of unknown origin. Do you know who her biological mother is?"

"That's true..."

The sound of discussion came from behind the flowers. Li Siwan and Xiahou Su looked at each other. It sounded like the conversation was about Song Tingxue, so they took a detour.

As expected, several officials' wives were laughing and talking behind the flowers, while in the pavilion not far from them, Song Tingxue was sitting alone.

Although he didn't show any expression, Li Siwan knew that Song Tingxue would naturally be able to hear their loud voices.

Li Siwan was about to step forward but was stopped by Xiahou Su.

Then Xiahou Su spoke.

"Wanwan, what did the Queen say to you just now?"

Li Siwan was stunned for a moment when he heard this sudden sentence, but he reacted in an instant.

"The Queen is very happy about her birthday, but there seem to be some rumors in the palace recently that make her unhappy."

"Oh? What rumor?"

"Of course I don't know, but the Queen said that in order to clean up the atmosphere, in the future, no matter what happens, anyone who talks nonsense will have their tongue cut out and be thrown into prison to serve as a warning to others. Ah Su, we should also pay more attention to it and share the Queen's worries."

"Of course. I've heard that ministers and their wives love to gossip about other people. Let's go for a walk. Maybe we'll run into some fearless people."

"Yes, I just heard some noises. Maybe they were gossiping. Let's go check it out."

As soon as these words were spoken, as their figures appeared, the officials' wives and children behind them were so scared that they fled away and disappeared without a trace.

Li Siwan was about to step forward when a light laugh came from the side.

"People say that Young Marquis Su and his young mistress are extremely loving. Now that I see them, it's true. Young Marquis Su is actually playing tricks with Miss Li. It's really rare to see."

When the familiar figure walked out, Li Siwan smiled and saluted, "Miss Shen."

Shen Linglan.

Shen Linglan returned the greeting with a smile.

Seeing this, Xiahou Su turned and left.

It would be inappropriate for him to be present when the girls were chatting.

"Sister Wan, Sister Linglan."

The two looked at Song Tingxue with heartache in their eyes.

"Xue'er, some things are just for listening, don't think too much about them."

"I know."

"Also, some people's bad mouths are their own problems, you don't have to care about it."

"Well, I never care. Sisters, the snow plums over there are very beautiful. Let's go and have a look together."

"Okay."

The three of them walked together and stopped under a snow plum tree.

Song Tingxue went to pick snow plums, while Shen Linglan looked at Li Siwan, "It's been a while since we last met at Qingxian Pavilion. I heard that your story has become more exciting now?"

"If you like it, I'll invite you to watch the new drama at Qingxian Pavilion after it comes out."

"I'm not talking about the story on the stage, but your own story."

Her story?

Shen Linglan smiled and continued, "When I first met you, I felt that you were a brave person, but I didn't expect that you would be so brave. You would risk your life for the one you love and rush into a dangerous situation. This is what I admire most about you."

It turned out to be about an assassination.

Li Siwan didn't notice the word "beloved" and smiled and shook his head regarding the assassination.

"There is no such thing as being brave or not. When the time comes, there is nothing you can do."

"Yes, love is a profound word. I envy you for being able to do these things so freely."

"Is there anything you want to do that you can't do?"

"Have."

Shen Linglan's eyes were filled with regret. "I know there are many things that I want to do, but if I do them, it will bring him a greater crisis. If it were you, what would you do?"

"If it were me, I would face the challenge head on. There is always a way to solve the problem. Trying your best is always better than doing nothing."

Shen Linglan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips smiled slightly, "A word awakens a person from his dream. Li Siwan, I have decided to make you my friend."

The two smiled at each other, their figures standing under the snow plums, like a beautiful painting.

Not far away, Xiahou Su was standing in the wind, looking at Li Siwan's smiling face, his eyes were full of doting, and the smile at the corner of his lips could not be concealed.

Even the aura around him became gentler.

"So you are here!"

A voice sounded behind him, and Han Chu quickly walked to Xiahou Su's side, "Can I give you one less jar of the wine I mentioned last time?"

"No."

"Don't worry, Xiahou Su. I promise I will make it up to you next time."

Seeing Han Chu's pleading expression, Xiahou Su smiled and said, "Well, it's up to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Chu raised his eyebrows, moved closer to Xiahou Su, and followed his gaze to look at Li Siwan's figure.

It dawned on me instantly.

"I was wondering why you were in such a good mood today. So that's it!"

Xiahou Su glanced at him sideways, "What are you going to say?"

"Do I need to say anything? You almost rubbed her into your eyes, and your smile... Tsk tsk, anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are finished, you have fallen."

Han Chu stared into Xiahou Su's eyes, "Xiahou Su, tell me the truth, are you attracted to her?"

"Being moved is too unfamiliar to me."

"Don't try to quibble. I think you are attracted to her, and you are quite attracted to her."

This time, Xiahou Su did not refute, but remained silent and looked at Li Siwan seriously.

Every frown and smile is in his eyes, but the smile at the corners of his lips is getting deeper and deeper.

He was surprised to find that Li Siwan now had a profound influence on him.

When she smiles, he is happy.

When she cried, he felt distressed.

And there are so many broken conventions.

It also seems to tell the answer.

Are you moved?

If so...why not?
