The banquet was held in the 'Huanyi Palace', which was a gift given to Chu Xia by the late Queen. At that time, she was named 'Princess Huanyi'. It was a pity that she had only been the princess for a few days, and her identity had not yet been announced to the world.

He became a hunted fugitive.

After Jingyuan ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to rebuild Fengyi Palace, and also had the "Huanyi Palace" built.

This palace has been empty since it was built. Several concubines wanted to move here, but the emperor didn't ask, so none of them dared. So it has always been used to hold celebrations and banquets.

At this time, the lights in Huanyi Palace were brightly lit, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. The sound of silk and bamboo could be heard all the time. The civil and military ministers were sitting on each side, gathering lights and intersecting in an endless stream.

Jing Yuan is sitting on the dragon chair in the middle, with dragon and phoenix postures, and is very majestic. His phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, looking down at the world. Every word and every action shows the domineering power of a king.

The slender fingers held the crystal clear luminous cup, and the white liquid swayed slightly. Looking through the wine glass, his thoughts seemed to drift into the distance.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The imperial concubine sitting next to her whispered softly, because the ministers below were toasting to him, but the emperor didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even hear it.

The aloof man raised his eyes slightly, his phoenix eyes were filled with ice and snow that had not changed for thousands of years. Anyone who met his eyes couldn't help but feel as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter.

He gently raised the cup in his hand and gestured to the people below. Everything was so natural, as if the gaffe just now was not his, and there was no sense of apology at all. Naturally, no one dared to question the emperor, even if

It is right for him to be arrogant. Who makes others the king and they the ministers?

Several small countries sent congratulatory gifts. Jing Yuan motioned to the chamberlain to accept the gifts and said a few polite words. However, the expression on his face was still cold and there was no smile on his face.

The opening ceremony was over, the gifts were almost given, the polite words were almost spoken, and the banquet officially entered its climax.

As the music sounded, four colorful butterflies flew in. They were agile in figure, pretty in appearance, and fluttering in colorful clothes. As soon as they came in, everyone felt calm. Maybe it was because the original low pressure was too strong.

They felt suffocated. The cheerful dance at this time just relieved the tense atmosphere.

The music slowly reached a climax, and the fluttering dance of four colorful butterflies attracted everyone's attention. Suddenly the four people gathered together and formed a circle with their colorful wings.

Everyone was full of curiosity and couldn't take their eyes away. Suddenly the four people dispersed, and a stunning woman in red appeared in the middle.

Her sudden appearance was like a bright ray of sunshine, which immediately illuminated everyone's eyes.

The sound of gasping sounded, and it seemed that everyone's eyes widened in vain. It was not that I had never seen a beautiful woman before, but I had never seen a woman as smart and elegant as her, as fairy-like as a demon.

Her silky black hair is draped over her shoulders. There are no extra hair accessories on her head, only a jade ring with a peacock in full bloom on her head, and a diamond-shaped blue crystal on her forehead, which sets off her smooth face.

The small white jade face is like a blue enchantress; the long eyelashes are rolled like butterfly wings, as if they can spread their wings and fly high at any time;

The pink eyeliner, slightly raised from the corner of the eye, is a bit enchanting and a bit wild; the lips are a little red, and the cheeks are pink and jade, she is really a stunning beauty.

The person is beautiful, and the dance is even more beautiful. Her spinning dance posture and elegant figure are like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to earth. At this moment, everyone can no longer take their eyes away. This woman is so beautiful that it is unreal, just like a poppy flower, breathtaking.

.

Jing Yuan had always had a sudden attitude, and his eyes were unchangingly indifferent. But only after the woman in red appeared, there were some changes in his eyes, and his whole person seemed to freeze.

His cold phoenix eyes suddenly had some inexplicable emotions, and he could feel his heart beating wildly. It was as if his heart, which had been frozen for thousands of years, suddenly woke up at this moment.

How could this happen? She had given him a big shock last time. He originally thought it was because he was not rational enough and missed Chu Xia too much. But why did he feel stronger when he saw her today than last time?

They are obviously two different people. Although they look exactly the same, he can tell them apart at a glance. But now he really can't tell. Is she her shadow or her reincarnation?

His Chu Xia has always been light-hearted, and she never wears makeup. Even then, she is beautiful enough. If she also puts on such makeup and wears such clothes, she will be so beautiful, right?

What was even more shocking than him was that the imperial concubine next to him was no longer completely shocked, but horrified. As soon as the woman appeared, her beautiful little face suddenly turned white, even her lips turned blue, and her body became even more shocked.

She couldn't help but tremble slightly. But the emperor was far away from her, and he was currently attracted to the dancing woman, so he didn't see any changes in Zhao Meng'er at all.

At the same time, Xiao Yulang, who was sitting below, froze, looking at the dancing woman with his eyes wandering for a moment, for fear of missing something. The shock in his heart was beyond words, how could this happen? Is that Chu Xia? But she

Not already... But if she wasn't, how could there be a woman who looked so similar in this world? Ten thousand question marks appeared in my mind.

Lu Zixiu, who was sitting opposite him, was also slightly startled. He knew that the emperor had raised a girl outside who looked very similar to Miss Chu. Because Jun Yan was his, there was nothing he didn't know.

But at this moment, he didn't expect that the two people were so similar. No wonder the emperor would often go to the Tianwu Pavilion. But he also knew that the emperor was not obsessed with her, but looking for the shadow of another person in her. Otherwise, he would have put her down long ago.

She was taken into the palace.

But it's a miracle that two people can look so similar, even their charms are so similar.

The dancing woman didn't know how many people's hearts her entrance had disturbed. She had not forgotten the purpose of coming here, which was to see who the current emperor was and to find out the murderer of Li Ji.

With a twist of her toes, the red waves rolled, and with a slight jump, a gorgeous peony bloomed on the ground, and she was the elf among the flowers.

With a quick glance, he saw a high-ranking man sitting on a dragon throne. He was unparalleled in beauty and arrogant in the world. His body froze and he almost danced wrongly.

I didn't expect it to be him? So he is the emperor of Donghua Kingdom? Although I was surprised, there were not many surprises. After all, when I saw him for the first time, I felt that he was extraordinary and had a majestic domineering attitude.

People should stand on the top of the world and look down on the world.

At this moment, she felt two sharp eyes shooting towards her, which seemed to be mixed with endless hatred. Following her eyes, she saw a woman in brocade clothes sitting next to the emperor. She had a beautiful face.

Well, she was extremely beautiful, but when she met those eyes, she found that there was a trace of hatred in her eyes, which seemed to devour her whole body. However, she did not miss the fleeting surprise.

Chu Xia's heart tightened, and she seemed to have understood. This woman hated her so much, so she must be the one who wanted to kill Li Ji. She must not have thought that not only did she not die, but she also appeared in the palace, right?

She could also guess that the reason why she did this was simply to compete for favor in the harem, because the emperor loved Li Ji.

If this is the case, Li Ji is really pitiful. Because she has never been favored by that man, but she encountered mishaps because of that man. Does he know that the woman who was obsessed with him is no longer there? Does he know that she

The heart that loves him? He doesn't know anything, she is dead, but he is still hugging her. In this harem of three thousand beauties, in this feast of feasting and feasting, there is no place for her to stand.

Li Ji, Li Ji, if you knew his identity, would you still be passionately devoted to him?

She doesn't know because she is not Li Ji.

Chu Xia's body swayed and she lay softly on the ground. The four girls who were dancing with her were suddenly startled and no longer cared about the dance. They all nervously came to Chu Xia's side and helped her up.

, because I was scared and my eyes were red.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Because the dancer suddenly fainted, the palace banquet immediately became excited, and everyone had anxious and puzzled faces. This woman danced so well, why did she suddenly faint?

Jing Yuan stood up from the dragon chair without even thinking, with a worried look in his eyes. He was about to go down to see what was going on, but was suddenly stopped by the woman next to him, and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are still

Where are you coming? Please pay attention to your image."

Xiao Yulang sat at the head of the emperor. Firstly, he was qualified for his position, and secondly, he could be close to protect the emperor. I just saw the woman fainting suddenly, and I almost rushed over because I felt so nervous. At this time, I heard that the imperial concubine

Then he paused, thought of the priorities, and advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't lose your etiquette."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you still want to greet the ministers, so let me take care of it, right? Besides, she is a woman, so it will be easier for me to take care of her." Zhao Meng'er's gentle voice was like the spring breeze in February, and her generous and decent words and deeds,

Quite like a queen.

Jing Yuan was only nervous for a moment. After hearing their persuasion, he gradually calmed down. She was not really her, so why was he nervous? So he nodded and left the matter to the imperial concubine to handle. Anyway, the harem matters were all

She handled it.

I just don't know why the tension in my heart has not relaxed, but has become stronger. That worry seems to be able to tug at the deepest nerve in his heart.

After the dancer was taken away, the banquet continued, and a new round of banquets began, and another singing and dancing pair also came on stage. It's really you who sings, and I come on stage. The harem is a place that is always lively, but lonely.

It's the human heart.
