Chapter 314: Share the Good
Hearing this, Su Yan froze up, holding the cup tightly in his hand, unwilling to face the sudden reality.
At the same time, the representative of the Chen family, the current Crown Princess Chen Qinghan, who was sitting below, looked up at the entrance of the palace, and her eyes were filled with astonishment and shock: it turned out that her biological parents, brothers, and others were stepping into the threshold and greeting the members of the royal family who were sitting in high seats.
"I greet you and wish you all happiness and good health!"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Meng, who was one of the hosts, couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect that I would have the honor to host the Chen family to attend this grand event."
You know, although the Chen family is one of the most wealthy families in Zhejiang, their foundation in the capital is still quite weak...Mr. Chen smiled and replied, "In such a grand and glorious celebration, I should come in person to show my most sincere respect to the royal family."
After saying this, the old man nodded slightly, with a shrewd and gentle light flashing in his eyes.
He then turned his kind eyes to where his daughter Chen Qinghan was, and added a blessing: "At the same time, I also sincerely wish my little baby, who is about to become one of the beauties in the harem, happiness and contentment."
Hearing this, Xiao Meng, who was sitting next to him, instantly smiled like a flower, his face filled with endless joy and gratitude, and he thanked Mr. Chen repeatedly.
In the excitement, he even drank several more glasses of wine to add to the fun.
Mrs. Chen walked slowly to her daughter's side and gently took her long-lost and slightly unfamiliar little hands. Her eyes were full of motherly tenderness and concern, and she asked, "My dear daughter, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look so much thinner now?"
It was a beautiful night with a beautiful view. Even the emperor, who was usually serious and majestic, was infected by the jubilant atmosphere and felt particularly relaxed and happy. Therefore, he was very understanding and tolerant of Chen's mother's request to reminisce and talk with her daughter.
"Since you elders have come from afar to visit her," Huangdi raised his chin slightly and said in a calm tone, "then you might as well spend some time with them."
After saying this, he waved to the two of them.
The sudden change caused ripples in Chen Qinghan's heart as she stood aside with a polite smile on her face, although on the surface she still maintained her usual dignity and grace.
After a brief silence, he finally nodded obediently to indicate that he obeyed the order, and left the banquet with his parents and family.
Passing through the brightly lit and magnificent gate of Ninghui Palace, and after passing through several winding but equally luxurious corridors, they came to a small palace in a remote corner with few people.
Right in the center of this seemingly quiet and desolate yet unique place stands a tall and slender girl named Chen Qinghan.
He first smiled gently and politely at everyone, and then calmly pulled away the hand that his mother had just held tightly.
"My elders, why have you come all this way to visit me today? I wonder what your purpose is?"
She asked, her eyes calm yet complicated.
It has been nearly five years since she married a powerful figure in the capital, but during this period of time, she has almost never seen any relatives come to visit and express condolences, which has made the already somewhat distant relationship even more indifferent.
Therefore, their appearance today undoubtedly made this woman who had been in the deep palace for many years feel a little wary.
"Oh! What an ignorant child."
The person who first broke the silence and blamed the other party in a sarcastic tone was the girl's once gentle and considerate elder brother - Chen Sheng.
"You know how difficult it is to have the opportunity to go home and visit your parents now? Moreover, you are now in a very noble position, yet you are still so cold and heartless! Do you really think you are superior to others after becoming the Crown Princess? Please wake up, after all, you haven't really taken the throne of Queen yet."
His words were sharp and merciless.
Listening to her brother's familiar yet harsh words ringing in her ears, the warm scenes of the past flashed through her mind as quickly as a movie, leaving Qinghan with mixed feelings that she could hardly control.
However, on the surface, she did not immediately respond or refute, but chose to purse her lips tightly, trying to suppress the emotional fluctuations in her heart.
The mother hurriedly used her eyes to stop her son's overly blunt and sharp attitude, and reached out to gently pat her daughter's shoulder to comfort her: "In fact, the main reason we came all the way here is because we are very concerned about how you are doing here. As one of the wives of a strong contender for the throne in the future, you are only a few steps away from the seat that symbolizes supreme power. I believe you should also realize the beautiful vision that your parents had when they chose you."
Talking about the past...
When this was mentioned, Chen Qinghan's face suddenly lost some color.
He forced a wry smile and replied, "I never thought that after so many years you would still have the courage to bring up... those long-forgotten historical fragments..."
Before he finished speaking, his father immediately pointed at him angrily: "From your expression, I know you are still resentful about what happened back then! Humph! I expected you to react like this..."
What she was about to say was swallowed back into her throat and she changed to scolding him, "Now that you are the Crown Princess, you can no longer act arbitrarily! How many women in the world would dare to hope to be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Meanwhile, the mother on the other side said earnestly, "The reason why I came all the way to see you is because I am worried about your future development prospects. It has been five years since I entered the palace, and there is still no movement of my knees. Another woman has already successfully given birth to a prince. In addition, the concubine named Jiang is now favored by the emperor. Maybe she will have good news soon! Xiaoqing, since you are still firmly in the position of concubine, if you fail to give birth to offspring for a long time, I am afraid that your life in the future may not be smooth. I believe that you are so smart and wise that you can see through all the interests and concerns."
"Stop using such high-sounding excuses to fool people!"
My father was so angry that he almost lost his mind. "Don't think I'm blind! You're using poor health as an excuse. When you were at home, you were healthy and full of energy and never had any discomfort! It's obvious that you're deliberately going against our family!"
Chen Qinghan, who had never spoken out before, finally couldn't help but stand up to defend himself: "It's true, just as you said - all this was caused by my deliberate arrangement of the resistance."
