Zhang Shan opened the door and Qingyun walked in. Meng Zhui angrily followed behind.
Since the palace change, Qingyun has not spoken to Xiao Shuanzi, that is, Meng Zhui.
There are not many people in the Mingguang Palace.
Qing Yun looked around and saw Pearl sitting there with her son in her arms, Yu Rong sitting beside her, and King Rui's other concubine also sitting beside her with her daughter.
She also saw Han Zhitao's father, Taifu Han, and his wife, Yue Zhiruo.
It was her former court lady Ji Xiang who was standing beside her and serving her.
There was a hot pot on the table, bubbling with steam. There was a strong fragrance in the air.
Huo Jingyun sat in the middle, wearing simple bright yellow casual clothes, with a warm complexion. He was teasing Ling Zixiong, King Rui's three-year-old son, with Meng Zhui and Zhang Shan standing behind him.
Seeing Qingyun coming in, Huo Jingyun stood up, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Xin Qingyun, the princess of Beiyi, and also my fiancée, the future queen."
Everyone stood still, and no one spoke. Everyone has known Qingyun for a long time, but they don't know which play Huo Jingyun is singing.
"Qingyun, come here." Huo Jingyun pointed to the seat beside him.
Qingyun looked at the people he had invited, and knew that Huo Jingyun was hosting a Hongmen banquet today. These people are all people she cares about.
She didn't touch his face, and sat beside Huo Jingyun.
"Everyone sit down, the auspicious snowfall today is a good sign. I have been busy with my business during this period and have not had time to meet with you. Now that I have time, I will gather with you today. We are all acquaintances and friends. Don't be cautious, everyone."
"Is the place where Taifu Han lives still comfortable?" Huo Jingyun asked Taifu Han.
Taifu Han looked up at Huo Jingyun: "You can kill or cut whatever you want. We are detained there to seduce my son, don't worry, I have already let go, Han Zhitao will not come back."
Huo Jingyun was not angry, and looked at him: "Young Madam is pregnant, Mr. Taifu doesn't want to think about himself, but also think about his children and grandchildren. Forget it, let's not talk about it today, let's eat hot pot."
Qingyun picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and took chopsticks for Taifu Han, Pearl and Yu Rong.
She didn't look at them, but just ate.
Taifu Han sat there angrily.
Yu Rong also started to eat.
The young son Ling Zixiong was hungry, so he reached out and asked his mother for food.
Pearl pressed his hand, and Ling Zixiong began to cry.
Qingyun took a chopstick of mutton for Ling Zixiong, "Hey, don't cry, I'll eat it for you."
Yu Rong and Pearl looked at Qingyun, Qingyun said: "Everyone eat, as long as he doesn't kill us, we will live on."
No matter what Qingyun said, Huo Jingyun was not angry.
Huo Jingyun brought vegetables to Qingyun: "You are all my relatives, I will not kill you."
Everyone ate in silence, waiting to see what medicine Huo Jingyun sold in the gourd.
Halfway through eating, Huo Jingyun put down the chopsticks in his hand. He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I called everyone here today, and I really need your help. I want to marry Qingyun as soon as possible, but Princess Qingyun has many concerns. , I would like to ask everyone to persuade the princess."
Qing Yun said: "You don't have to embarrass them, everyone here knows who I am, and the only person I want to marry is Ling Chen."
"Qingyun, since you haven't married him yet, anyone has a chance to marry you." Huo Jingyun looked at Qingyun indifferently.
Everyone still didn't speak, there was no sound, and the air seemed to be still.
Huo Jingyun smiled: "Alright, I don't want to force everyone. Don't think that Ling Chen will make a comeback. I have been planning for so many years, and I will not give him a chance to turn around. I am looking forward to his return, When he comes back, I will have a chance to destroy him."
He looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, as long as you keep yourselves safe and don't cause trouble, I will definitely protect everyone's safety."
Huo Jingyun commanded Xiao Shuanzi in a deep voice: "Meng Zhui, present today's big dish."
Meng Zhui walked out quickly, and after a while, he brought up a red wooden plate, inside which were two delicate white plates, each with a dozen or so meatballs, light red. Golden chrysanthemum petals were also placed on the plate for decoration.
Meng Zhui separated the plates and placed them in front of everyone.
Huo Jingyun still lowered his body and said in his gentle voice: "I don't want to hurt anyone. I took back the throne because Ling Chen didn't own it! I have been forbearing and used this method to get what I want , I don't want to hurt innocent people. But there are some people who can't understand my painstaking efforts and challenge my bottom line many times!"
Huo Jingyun said, paused, and looked at everyone.
Everyone put down their chopsticks and knew that the point was coming.
Huo Jingyun went on to say: "I said, Qingyun is just the princess of Beiyi, but the original chief servant, Xiao Guizi, spread rumors that Princess Qingyun is the original Lanling, the original queen of Ling Chen, I miss the old love, so much I corrected him again, but he didn't know how to repent. In a fit of rage, I killed him."
Qingyun looked at him: "Did you kill Xiao Guizi?"
Huo Jingyun nodded: "Yes, I not only killed him, but also made his meat into meatballs, here, these two plates that were placed in front of you just now. I want to see how such a stubborn person, The meat is also different. But after the bone is removed and the meat is cut, it is very common."
Huo Jingyun said such a bloody thing in a gentle manner.
Someone vomited directly, and Ji Xiang fainted to the ground.
Qingyun held down his beating heart, trembling all over.
Huo Jingyun looked at everyone's reaction: "It seems that everyone has almost eaten, come and send everyone back!"
He held Qingyun's hand, "Go, I'll take you back."
Qingyun was limp all over, and was pulled back by him.
With the wind blowing on his face, Qingyun felt he was finally able to catch his breath. She struggled to leave Huo Jingyun, but Huo Jingyun's hard arms held her tightly.
"Qingyun, his situation is over. I won't let you go. I won't detain you from today onwards, but if you dare to escape privately, I will kill all the people sitting today and make them into meatballs." Qingyun said in his ear.
"Brother, were you always lying to me before? Why did you treat me like this? You are so cruel!"
Qingyun's throat seemed to be stagnated and blocked, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
Huo Jingyun trembled all over, and hugged her tightly: "Qingyun, don't say that about me, others can, but you can't. I just don't want you to leave me."
He looked at her, thousands of scenery flashed in his eyes one by one, those past years, those helplessness, those parting, those missed happiness.
Qingyun shook off his hand and ran away without looking back.
Qing Yun returned to Wangyou Palace and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
Both physically and mentally ached, trembling all over. As an emperor, Ling Chen had learned how to deal with people, but Huo Jingyun, her favorite brother, suddenly did these things, she couldn't accept it.
The bloody wind seems to be gone, but Qingyun understands that this is just the beginning.
