The Chang Xu Pavilion had never been so lively before.
The news of the emperor's arrival had long ago spread and everyone was excited for a long time. Finally, they were able to look forward to the Zhong Miao Yi and Su Zeyi.
"Greetings to the emperor, greetings to the emperor, greetings to the concubine, and blessings to the concubine."
All the servants of the Eternal Nightfall Pavilion kneeled, each of them dressed in festive attire.
Su Zeyi was happy to see them, he said he would give them rewards, but when he turned around, he saw that Zhong Miao Yi still had a smile on her face.
He hadn't seen such a smile in a long time.
Zhong Miao Yi knew that Su Zeyi was looking at her, and she didn't feel awkward at all. Perhaps this was the most comfortable time they had together since entering the palace.
"Come." Su Zeyi pulled Zhong Miao Yi's hand and walked inside, while asking, "Have you finished preparing everything?"
Ah Jiu smiled and nodded, his eyebrows raised with gratification: "Yes, everything is ready, we are waiting for our return."
He then turned his head to the palace maid beside him and ordered, "Go and bring Young Noble Zongming here!"
Little Maid answered and ran off.
Zhong Miao Yi was infected by this atmosphere and actually had a kind of absent-minded sense of satisfaction.
When he was brought up, his eyes were looking around in a round manner.
Su Zeyi had not looked at it carefully before, but today, he saw that this child looked somewhat similar to the Zhong Miao Yi.
Because of this, Su Zeyi seemed to be able to accept it a little in his heart.
He waved his hand and took out the things he had prepared from his father-in-law's hands. They were a pair of small, exquisitely crafted gold bracelets.
"I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. This bracelet was found in the warehouse. Don't blame me." Su Zeyi said these words awkwardly, as if he was trying to curry favor with them.
Zhong Miao Yi took the bracelet and asked Ah Jiu to bring Plum over. She put it on for him just like that: "It's very beautiful, your majesty has been very considerate."
Her voice was especially gentle today. Su Zeyi thought he would never hear her speak in such a gentle tone ever again.
"As long as you're happy." This was from the bottom of her heart. As long as she was happy, then what she did was nothing. His compromise was also worth it. "You really look good today."
These words were said foolishly, all of the servants started laughing, causing Su Zeyi himself to feel embarrassed.
Zhong Miao Yi glared at him: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
This time, Su Zeyi was unwilling to let him go and said to the Ah Jiu, "Is it nice to look at? Don't you think it looks good? Did I say something wrong? "
The Ah Jiu laughed even louder: "It's nice to watch, the Emperor is right. My master is indeed very pretty. There is nothing better in this palace than my master. "
was deeply moved by these words. He complacently raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Miao Yi, "Did you hear me, I am not spouting nonsense. Everyone knows."
At this time, the atmosphere became even more lively. Zhong Miao Yi was a little red as she hurriedly gestured for the dishes to be served.
"What do you want to eat today?" Su Zeyi asked. Seems like he was a little hungry.
"It is merely an ordinary thing. It is enough to celebrate. After all, he is clearly his son. Thus, he does not dare to be too flamboyant about it." Although the Zhong Miao Yi valued this place, he knew that she must restrain herself within the palace.
Su Zeyi did not speak, he stared at the dishes that came up.
Fortunately, there was food and meat, so he had a smile on his face and brought the wine up.
"You promised me you would drink two cups." Su Zeyi remembered these words, and they were being used to cover Zhong Miao Yi's head.
The Zhong Miao Yi nodded and watched as Su Zeyi filled his wine cup. Without waiting for Su Zeyi to speak, he touched the cup and took a sip.
Su Zeyi understood what she meant. What happened between them couldn't be explained clearly, and in order not to disrupt their interests, drinking like this was the best choice.
Since she had already done it, Su Zeyi definitely could not fall behind.
The two of them drank like that, then stopped after three cups. They looked at each other and both of them started laughing.
It had been a long time since they had felt this carefree.
Zhong Miao Yi didn't know how she would feel after today, but at that moment, she was willing to let go of all the grudges in her heart and sincerely feel grateful to Su Zeyi once.
They were grateful that he had not left the Precious Tree Sect behind and that he had once again allowed the Eternal Nightfall Pavilion to stand in the palace.
His admittance was even more useful than her ten thousand times trying.
However, she didn't want to think about everything that had happened in the past.
Ah Jiu stood at the side and watched. Although she did not completely understand the situation between the two, she did know quite a bit.
If there weren't so many accidents and if there weren't, Zhong Miao Yi would have slowly forgiven Su Zeyi.
However, after experiencing so much, she wasn't sure.
In the future, who knew how much suffering and training they would have to endure. Just thinking about it made them feel that their lives were going to be tough, and Zhong Miao Yi had only just begun to live.
"You've always blamed me, I know." After drinking too much, Su Zeyi started chattering again.
Zhong Miao Yi was already at her limit, leaning on the table as she could not hear what Su Zeyi was saying clearly.
Ah Jiu stepped forward to support Zhong Miao Yi, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Master is already drunk, please rest."
Su Zeyi sat for a while, staring at Zhong Miao Yi's face for a long time, then pushed Ah Jiu away. "We will carry her back home, don't follow me."
Although he had drunk too much, his strength was still there.
Ah Jiu did not follow her. She knew that today was a good day for Su Zeyi and Zhong Miao Yi. It had been so long, and only when Zhong Miao Yi was drunk could Su Zeyi get close to him.
As long as they got close to each other, their hearts would be together. One day, Zhong Miao Yi would understand that living in the palace, living in the human world, forgiving a person, was in fact letting him go. Otherwise, it would be too bitter.
Why did she have to live so arduously?
"Aunt, are we really not going over?" The Little Maid was worried, hence she leaned towards the side of the Ah Jiu and asked.
"What did you do? Aren't you afraid that you'll disturb the emperor and his master's plans? Did the emperor kill you? How many lives do you have? Are you tired of living? " Ah Jiu taught him a lesson, and he couldn't even read this much?
Little Maid understood and retreated to the side, not saying anything.
Ah Jiu ordered the people to put the things inside, and then he personally carried Guang Ming to rest.
He was still awake, neither crying nor making a ruckus. He clutched at the quilt, feeling drowsy.
Enjoy these few years without worrying about anything, that would probably be the safest time of Zhong Jiming's life.
Ah Jiu didn't know what he would experience when he grew up, but it was as Zhong Miao Yi had said, his life would definitely not be able to bear the brunt of it. Thus, what Zhong Miao Yi needed to do was to teach him how to bear the brunt of the humiliation when he was young.
The heavens will descend upon the saints, and they will be the first to toil their hearts and bones.
Zhong Jiming naturally had to become the person who could take on the big responsibility.
