Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother
Chapter 220 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
Xie Chaochao, a gentle yet tough woman, heard the words, gently raised her hand, and stroked the wind-blown hair on her temples, with confusion and persistence flashing in her eyes. She walked slowly to Chu Heng's side, her voice soft but firm: "Brother, what you said, Chaochao will remember it in heart. However, people's hearts are kind, how can we ignore it because of fear of being despised? I know that the world is fickle, but I also believe that treating people with sincerity, even if you can't get rewards immediately, one day, it will be like spring rain, moistening things silently. Chaochao is willing to use this innocence and kindness to warm every soul that needs care."
Under the moonlight, the two figures were stretched out and intertwined, as if in this quiet night, they were having a profound conversation about human nature and morality. Chu Heng heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, with both the reluctance to attack his sister's innocence and kindness, and the helpless sigh for the vicissitudes of life. He gently patted Xie Chaochao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Chaochao, I naturally understand your intentions, but the road in this world is difficult. I hope you can keep your original intention and learn to protect yourself in the wind and rain."
The night breeze blew by, bringing a cool breeze, but it also seemed to blow away the heavy atmosphere in the air. Xie Chaochao looked up at the starry sky, his eyes flashing with infinite longing and determination for the future: "Brother, don't worry, Chaochao will live up to your expectations. I must treat people with sincerity and make myself strong enough to protect this innocence and kindness."
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon was bright in the sky and silver light filled the Forbidden City, Emperor Chu Heng ordered an unprecedented Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The grand occasion was enough to make people all over the world hear of it and yearn for it.
The sky above the Forbidden City seemed to be gently covered by a layer of soft gauze, with stars shining against the bright moon, forming a breathtaking sky painting. Emperor Chu Heng, wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with a dragon soaring into the sky and a golden crown on his head, walked steadily into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and every step seemed to be stepping on the stars, leading the ministers and envoys from various countries into this grand celebration.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was brightly lit, just like daytime, with various palace lanterns hanging high, shining brightly, making the hall look like a dream. The central banquet was filled with delicacies, each of which was carefully prepared by the imperial chefs, with good color, aroma and taste, not only making people salivate, but also containing beautiful meanings of family reunion and prosperity.
Following the order of Emperor Chu Heng, the musicians began to play stringed instruments and orchestras, and the melodious music instantly filled the entire hall, like the sound of nature, cleansing everyone's soul. The dancers, dressed in light gauze, danced gracefully, their postures were graceful, like fairies in the moon, spinning and jumping to the rhythm of the music, interpreting the joy and peace of the Mid-Autumn Festival to the fullest.
During the banquet, Emperor Chu Heng raised his cup to the moon and drank with his ministers. They talked and laughed, not only about state affairs, but also about their daily lives. He knew that this was not just a banquet, but also an important moment to unite people and show the demeanor of a great country.
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint scent of osmanthus, as if even the moon was attracted by the scent and became brighter. Emperor Chu Heng was moved and improvised a poem to praise the beauty of Mid-Autumn Festival and express his infinite hope for peace and prosperity in the country and the world. His voice resounded in the hall, attracting the ministers to echo him, and the whole banquet was filled with joy.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon was bright in the sky and the silver light was shining on the palace walls, an unprecedented banquet was held in the Forbidden City to celebrate this reunion festival. At the banquet, the lights were brilliant, the music was melodious, and the ministers and the beauties in the harem were dressed in gorgeous clothes, laughing and talking, enjoying the bright moon together and enjoying the family happiness.
Empress Xie Chaochao, wearing a luxurious palace dress embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings and a nine-phoenix rising-sun pearl crown, walked lightly between the banquet tables, like a fairy under the moon, dignified yet gentle. Her eyes sometimes gently swept over each guest, and sometimes exchanged tacit glances with Emperor Chu Heng, showing the demeanor of a mother of the country.
Emperor Chu Heng, wearing a dragon robe, showed a hint of tenderness in his majesty. He raised the golden cup and saluted the ministers to celebrate this peaceful and prosperous era and the beautiful moment of family reunion. However, as the third round of wine passed, the lively atmosphere at the banquet gradually heated up, and Emperor Chu Heng's drinking interest was quietly ignited.
Seeing this, Empress Xie Chaochao was secretly anxious. She knew that although the emperor was in good health, he had been busy with state affairs recently. If he drank too much, it might hurt his body, and it might affect the court tomorrow and delay state affairs. So, she walked gently to Chu Heng's side and said in a soft voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Majesty, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, why don't you put down the golden cup and enjoy this rare good time and beautiful scenery with me? Although the wine is good, you must not drink too much, so as not to hurt the emperor's body and make me and the ministers worry."
Chu Heng heard this, and a trace of tenderness and gratitude flashed in his eyes. He put down the wine glass in his hand, and instead held the queen's delicate hands, and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense. I almost forgot about this elegant taste. Come, you and I will walk hand in hand under the moon and in front of the flowers, and talk about family happiness together, how about it?"
Seeing this, all the ministers looked at him with envy and admiration, and raised their glasses to cheer for the deep love between the emperor and the queen. For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet became more warm and harmonious, as if even the air was filled with the taste of happiness and sweetness.
As the night fell, the moonlight gently sprinkled in the quaint courtyard like a thread, covering the quiet night with a soft silver gauze. Chu Heng stood on the stone steps, his posture upright, with a gentle smile on his lips, which seemed to hide a bit of subtle cunning and confidence. He gently raised the wine glass in his hand, facing Xie Chaochao, who was sitting in the pavilion, and looked even more gentle and lovely under the moonlight, with tenderness and determination in his eyes.
"Chao Chao, don't worry. Although I, Chu Heng, am at this banquet filled with the aroma of wine today, I will remember your advice and drink less. I won't let the strong liquor take away my clear mind, nor will I let it become a stumbling block to our beautiful time together." Chu Heng's words were like a breeze in spring, brushing across Xie Chao Chao's heart and causing ripples.
Hearing this, Xie Chaochao's eyes flashed with a trace of relief and tenderness. She gently put down the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, looked back at Chu Heng with gentle eyes, and slowly raised a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be able to melt all the ice in the world. "Brother Heng, I believe in you. Your promise is brighter than the stars in the night, and it makes people feel at ease." Her words were gentle, but with unquestionable firmness, as if giving Chu Heng the most solid backing.
