C221 Learn about palace feasts

The facts proved that Bai Jing's understanding of his own abilities was extremely wrong. Bai Jing had been fiddling around the fire pit for a long time, but he hadn't seen the spark that lit up the fire.

I had already made up my face and was done with filling. Looking at the still competitive Bai Jing, I shook my head helplessly. "I thought you had started a fire before. Look at how confident you are." I laughed at Bai Jing.

"I never thought that This King would be unable to do anything to such a small thing." Bai Jing looked gloomily at the pile of firewood.

In the end, it was my own fire. Bai Jing had a look of disbelief when he saw me ignite me. That expression was as if he had never seen the world before.

"So that's how it is." Bai Jing had an expression of sudden enlightenment.

I started wrapping the dumplings by myself. Bai Jing sat beside me and looked at me. Sometimes he helped me fill the fire pit with firewood, and sometimes he smiled at me.

Under the burning gaze of Bai Jing, I boiled the dumplings and got out of the pot.

I had just put the dumplings down and was about to place them on the table when Bai Jing suddenly embraced me from behind, his arms around me.

My body trembled slightly before it was quickly enveloped by Bai Jing's warm aura.

"What's wrong?" I asked doubtfully.

"I really hope that time can stop at this moment. What I want is only this simple." Bai Jing's head was resting on my shoulder as he slowly said this.

I smiled and turned around. "When did you become so pretentious? Alright, eat quickly, otherwise it'll be cold. I'll stay by your side."

Bai Jing contentedly took the dumplings and began to taste them on the table beside me. He just sat there on the table in the kitchen. His luxurious clothes and his cold demeanor should have been incompatible with the kitchen, but I looked at him with such harmony.

My eyes were a little dim as I looked at Bai Jing's back. I said that I would accompany him by his side, but I didn't guarantee that I would always be by his side.

My heart is at a loss. They are just one person in two dimensions, but I only have one person. I can only exist in one time and space.

I didn't dare think about it, and I was afraid of choosing.

By the time I finished packing up, Xia Shui and the others had already moved their things over. When I was at Bai Jing's room, I heard the sounds from next door, Xia Shui and the others' laughter and cheers.

"Why does it feel so close?" I couldn't help but ask, frowning at the noise.

"Because your bedroom is right next door to mine. There's only one wall between us." Bai Jing said with a smile.

I was shocked.

"About this, I think it's a bit awkward."

"Then I'll know what you're up to and protect you."

I rolled my eyes. 'This really is a good excuse.' I thought about it again. We used to sleep together in the same bed, but now it's just next door.

"What exactly is the palace feast doing? Tell me, I don't even know anything. If I were to suffer when you say it, would I embarrass you?"

Bai Jing looked at me, then sat down at his desk and pulled me into his arms. He was talking to me while playing with my hands.

My hands used to be considered the smallest when I was reading, and I don't know why my hands were so small. Previously, the favorite thing for girls in my class was for me to put my hands together and make the pose of a child begging for candy.

I remember my tablemate telling me that my boyfriend would love to play with my hands in the future, and I scoffed at that time and thought how possible it was. Well, now that I had slapped my face, Bai Jing really liked to rub my hands.

Bai Jing's words were concise and concise, but I also gained some understanding of this palace feast. This palace feast is more important than I had expected.

In fact, the palace feast was not held in the Xia Rong Country every year. On this continent, there were a total of four nations fighting against each other, namely the Baili Country, the Xia Rong Country, Chen Yangguo and the Xuanyin Country. Four countries saluted.

In the past, they had often fought wars, causing the citizens to be unable to live in peace. In the previous generation's hands, the princesses of the four countries had felt the suffering of their citizens and thus, the four prefectures gathered to negotiate peace.

In the end, everyone reached an agreement. In the next hundred years, they would not disturb each other, thus allowing the citizens to live and work in peace, and the country to prosper. Since their reunion, this day had been designated as the palace feast's day for several countries.

The four nations would hold it in turns, and the leaders of the other nations would meet in that country to celebrate the peace and stability. This palace feast had already been holding it for many years.

It had been more than 50 years since the first meeting, and it had been peaceful for a few years.

This is my own definition. I heard that in the past few years, palace feast has become a competition for comprehensive national power. There will be people competing in talent, competing in martial arts, and even writing poetry. The nobles of the various countries will try their best to win honor for their country.

It's kind of like the Olympics we're hosting right now, except it's not just sports.

Furthermore, the oddity was that although everyone seemed to coexist peacefully on the surface, there were actually undercurrents. During palace feast, everyone would do everything they could to get married and use this as a way to pull each other's hand.

The Xia Rong Country and the Baili Country seemed to have always been partners in marriage, and the two nations often helped each other, thus Chen Yangguo and the Xuanyin Country automatically became the same camp. Now, the Queen of the Xuanyin Country was the Grand Princess Highness, Chen Yangguo.

And the one who Chen Yangguo was making the decision for was the direct brother of Grand Princess, which meant that the Xuanyin Country's emperor was still Chen Yangguo's son-in-law.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but exclaim, Your circle is really chaotic.

"Then who is the one betrothed to the Xia Rong Country? Doesn't our emperor still have no empress?" I asked Bai Jing in confusion.

Originally, he and the Emperor were going to get married, but something happened in the middle, so the marriage went sour. The Baili Country sent their princess over, which is to say, the imperial concubine. Bai Jing said slowly.

"What? That Lianfei is the princess of Baili Country?" I was so scared my jaw almost fell off. Why do I have to be so unlucky? It's all about making enemies with someone with background.

"What are you afraid of? We are all princesses, but here, your status is much more honorable than her." Bai Jing looked at me with a face full of despai
