Hua Ruge squinted his eyes, looked at the nervous Su Nianxia, and joked: "I see that girl looks pretty good, maybe the Monarch will agree."
"I'm better looking than she is." Su Nianxia said as he caressed his small face.
Hua Ruge laughed at her without concealing anything. "Then, what else do you have that you're not confident in?"
Hearing that, Su Nianxia became more spirited, but he was still unwilling to admit that he had lost his soul, he pouted: "I'm not lacking in confidence."
Hua Ruge continued to listen to the conversation between nations that were not nutritious.
"I'm the only one who doesn't have confidence when facing you." At this time, he heard Su Nianxia whispering from the side.
She touched her nose and thought, It's not my fault for being so good.
After chatting for a while, it was already late in the afternoon. The Palace Feast, which Hua Ruge had waited a long time for, finally officially began as all kinds of delicious dishes were brought to the table.
Hua Ruge tasted the wine and found that the taste was not bad, there was still a pot of wine, she was satisfied, and started to drink.
Fortunately, she didn't know anyone, so she didn't need to be polite with them.
The surroundings were filled with laughter and chatter. She was unwilling to join in on the fun. Naturally, she exuded the aura of an unapproachable stranger. Anyone who wanted to get close to her would stop.
Prince Yutang stood up and toasted to Jun Tianxia, "Little Wang, one cup."
Jun Tianxia raised his eyes slightly, raised his wine cup from a distance and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, the Prince of Yutang laughed heartily: "The Monarch is generous and magnanimous, I am impressed. However, the Monarch has been toiling for the country all year round without any concubines to take care of me, how could I not worry?"
"It's rare for a prince to consider this for this sovereign. This matter has long been handled by the Ministry of Rites. If there is a suitable woman, I will naturally send her to the palace." Jun Tianxia said with a dull expression, as though he was not interested in the affairs of men and women at all.
The reason the Yutang Prince brought his sister here was obvious. He believed that Jun Tianxia would not be unable to tell, and only because the Yutang Prince knew this did he open his mouth to probe.
But Jun Tianxia obviously did not have that intention, he might be rejected if he suggested it out now, and at that time, he would lose face.
The Prince of Yutang pondered for a moment, then said: "This time, Little Brother and Little Sister Wang came to admire the beauty of the Da Yu, and wondered if you could stay in the imperial city for a little longer."
If he really could make an alliance, then he would have become a meritorious general of Yutang.
"It's rare for you to like it, but how long do I have to keep the palace open for you?" Jun Tianxia agreed happily.
The Prince of Yutang thanked him and sat down.
Su Nianxia bit onto the vegetables in his mouth, and turned to Hua Ruge. "Monarch, what does that mean?"
"How could we have guessed his methods? Let's eat." As Hua Ruge spoke, he did not forget to eat.
Su Nianxia could only nod his head and return to eat.
Hua Ruge's appetite was not big, after eating for a while he was full, at this moment a dozen or so women dressed in colorful clothes slowly entered from the east gate, and started dancing in the middle.
Everyone watched with relish, chatting as they watched.
Hua Ruge picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for himself to drink, his gaze sweeping over the dancers in the center of the arena, but if one were to look carefully, they would be able to notice that her gaze was not focused at all.
Palace Feast was extremely lively as she drank wine. Although she was inside, she felt more like an observer.
She drank a few more cups before taking the jug and cup to leave the room.
There were four doors to the Hall of Guangde's north, south, east, and west. She was leaning against the west gate, and there were also many palace maids and eunuchs standing by her side. She would not attract any attention if she stood up.
Even Su Nianxia had not raised his head to look at Jun Tianxia, so he did not know that Hua Ruge had already walked out.
The guard at the door did not dare to stop her even if she were to come out. He allowed her to take the jug of wine and leave.
At this moment, snow was falling once again. She felt a chill run down her spine. When she raised her head, she saw many families releasing fireworks in the night sky.
The festival was always the busiest and most joyous day of the year. Everyone was happy, but only she felt lonely.
She took a glass of wine from the wine pot and raised her head to drink it before continuing on her journey.
She wanted to find a quiet place to drink, but the palace was brightly lit, and many people came and went. She was truly not at peace, so she simply flew up to the roof of a palace building.
Lying on the snowy roof, looking at the swirling snow, and looking at the fireworks in the distant sky, she finally felt at ease.
She slowly closed her eyes.
A moment later, her ears twitched and her eyes shot out a cold ray of light. She asked, "Who is it?"
"It's too cold. Get up quickly." A deep and familiar voice resounded in his ear.
Hua Ruge also saw the dragon-robed Jun Tianxia standing beside her.
At this moment, he had removed the Heaven's Crown and replaced it with an ordinary crown. It looked a bit more casual than before.
"Why are you here?" Hua Ruge said as he sat up.
Jun Tianxia frowned, with a flip of his hand, he took out a piece of animal skin and laid it on the slanted roof, and said: "Sit."
The other party had good intentions, but Hua Ruge did not reject, and just moved his butt and sat on the chair.
She had already taken up a lot of snow while rolling around in the snow. The tip of her nose was red from the cold.
Jun Tianxia also sat down beside her. He first patted the snow off her back, then took out a large blue cape and draped it over her body.
Caught off guard, Hua Ruge felt a warm sensation on his body, and immediately after, he went to the front and tied the belt for her.
Hua Ruge gratefully wrapped his cloak around himself, and said while looking forward: "You should know that we will not get any results."
"You sure are calm." Jun Tianxia said, and looked into the distance.
"I always thought that was a good thing."
Jun Tianxia did not continue with her and changed the topic, "Why did you come out? Isn't singing and dancing nice? "
"Sometimes, people are very hypocritical. Watching others make me feel lonely. I can't bear to watch this any longer, so I came out to take a breather." Hua Ruge said quietly.
Jun Tianxia tilted his head and asked her: "Why?"
"Because he is also afraid of being alone, he wants me to accompany him for the new year. I agreed to it, but he didn't keep his word." Hua Ruge said as he poured himself a cup of wine to drink.
Hearing this, Jun Tianxia frowned, he turned his head and looked at the sky, not saying a word for a long time.
Hua Ruge also drank his wine cup by cup. Seeing that he was silent, she turned her head and asked: "Why did you come out?"
"I've come to find you." Jun Tianxia said indifferently.
"You don't need to do that. I won't become your empress. No matter why, I won't." Hua Ruge said.
If Jun Tianxia really liked her, then the pain would be as short as the pain.
Since the outcome had already been decided, there was no need for him to be entangled with it.0
Jun Tianxia closed his eyes for a while, and then said, "The reason why I wanted to marry you was because of your lifeline, but now, the one I want to marry isn't you who has a phoenix life, I just want you."
Hua Ruge was about to speak when he interrupted her: "Ru Ge, I know what you want to say, so it's the same if you don't open your mouth."
