Charm Ji confuses the world

Chapter 637 Toast
In the past few years, although Dayan has no time to recuperate, fortunately, they have a large land and abundant resources. They harvested a lot of land when they fought against Tubo. Still a peaceful appearance.

Today was the rare annual reunion festival, and it was rare for Chu Xiao to show a relieved expression.

Lingsheng was sitting at the first place next to her. It can be seen that her status in the past few years is indeed extraordinary.

While Chu Chen was refilling tea for his mother and concubine, he turned his head and talked with the people behind him.

The tea is over, and it's time to watch more than half of the singing and dancing.

Everyone knows that the next thing should be the highlight.

Sure enough, after the Lingsheng gave Chu Chen a look, Chu Chen started from his position, slowly saluted Chu Xiao who was sitting on the high seat and said, "Father, I don't know about the elder sister's matter." Has the Emperor already made a decision?"

Chu Xiao raised her black eyes slightly, and glanced at the obedient concubine Chen and the children beside her as if she didn't care, then closed her eyes and said, "Concubine Chen, what do you think?"

When Concubine Chen heard Chu Xiao calling her, her legs couldn't help trembling, and she stood up tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao should be the one who decides, after all—after all, this matter is related to her future happiness. Concubine—concubine—concubine doesn’t know.”

Concubine Chen bumped her teeth up and down when she was speaking, so she had finished the sentence completely.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiao couldn't help raising her eyes, she became a little more serious. It really surprised him that Concubine Chen, who was always soft and weak, could say such assertive words today.

"Concubine Chen, if the eldest sister can speak a complete sentence, she can decide by herself, that's okay, but the princess of the royal family has her own mission, and Luo Yuan is Luo Yong's son. Sister for a long time, if the eldest sister is married, I believe he will treat the eldest sister well."

Concubine Chen was trembling with anger, she had seen what kind of person Luo Yuan was.

His Royal Highness, I don't know what it is to send the portrait of Xiaoxiao to Luo Yuan. Otherwise, how could the lustful Luo Yuan hold his daughter tightly.

Chu Hanxiao stretched out his hand from under the desk, and gently patted the hand of his mother and concubine, signaling her to calm down.

"Thus, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for finding such a good marriage for Xiaoxiao?"

Chu Chen hurriedly bowed his fists to salute, and pretended to say, "Eldest sister is also Chen'er's older sister. For the sake of my sister's life, I should work hard, and that's what I should do."

"Your Majesty—what do you think——?"

"His Royal Highness is right." Concubine Chen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Xiao.

He seemed to be slightly dissatisfied and said: "Concubine Chen, since you are a member of the palace, you should also have such an awareness, and marrying the Luo family with a smile will also consolidate the interests of my imperial power even more. Concubine Chen, you have been doing very well for so many years, why are you confused now?"

Chu Hanxiao's heart was filled with bitterness.

This is her father. Since she was born, he has basically never hugged her or given her any care. Now that she has grown up, because she is "stupid" and has no value for him, she has to Become a victim of imperial power.

If it is from the royal family, Chu Hanxiao understands her father.

But from the perspective of a daughter, Chu Hanxiao couldn't forgive her father for doing this.

Concubine Chen also seemed to be heartbroken, so she didn't say anything anymore, but nodded and said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of your majesty."

After Concubine Chen sat down, she held Chu Hanxiao's hands even harder.

It seems that what I climbed was not a high branch, but a cliff.

"Concubine Chen is indeed a person who understands righteousness."

When Chu Chen turned his head, Ling Sheng raised her eyebrows, quite proudly.

At such a reunion banquet, Chu Chen, as a subject, had to toast to Chu Xiao and all the concubines according to etiquette.

And there are only three concubines who are qualified to toast this time.

One is Chu Chen's biological mother Ling Guifei, the second is naturally the concubine Chen who has no name, and the third is Wang Zhaoyi who has always been loved.

And these three glasses of wine had to be poured by Chu Chen for them.

"For the first glass of wine, I respect my father. It is precisely because of my father's existence in Dayan that the people of my Dayan live and work in peace and contentment."

Chu Xiao nodded: "Chen'er is a wise man. Over the years, the court ministers have praised you a lot. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. Help me put down this chaos."

"My son obeys the order."

After Chu Chen finished his toast, he went to Concubine Ling again.

"Mother and concubine, son—"

"Chen'er doesn't need to say much, mother and concubine understand your good intentions, this palace is the same as your father's expectations, I hope you will not disappoint the people in this world, and you will not disappoint your father's expectations of you."

"My son understands."

A glass of sake was slowly drunk again.

Once again, Chu Chen walked slowly in front of Concubine Chen. This time, because of his disdain, he only pretended to shake his wine glass, and didn't even drink the wine poured out of the jug.

But he poured a full glass of wine for Concubine Chen.

"Concubine Chen, my highness respects you for this cup, but I drank too much earlier and I was a little too strong, so please don't blame Concubine Chen."

At this moment, an inexplicable smile appeared on Concubine Chen's face.

She took a deep look at her daughter beside her, and then stood up: "His Royal Highness is tired, and you can be forgiven for not drinking this glass of wine. This wine is the prince's favorite Zhuyeqing?"

Although Chu Chen felt that the concubine Chen's question was inexplicable, but in front of everyone, he still replied: "Of course, this is a wine to respect all the empresses, and it is naturally the most precious bamboo leaf green in my prince's mansion. Concubine Chen Madam, don't worry, this wine is definitely the most treasured wine by His Royal Highness."

Concubine Chen smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness is really wise. If you don't drink such a good wine yourself, you will use it to honor our mothers."

Concubine Chen picked up the wine glass and moved her fingers slightly.

Afterwards, he drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Chu Chen and said, "I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will take good care of you in the future and smile, after all, you are brothers and sisters."

After Chu Chen finished listening, he frowned and nodded: "I will, please trouble Concubine Chen."

Concubine Chen nodded, and Chu Chen had just gone to toast Wang Zhaoyi.

After sitting down, Concubine Chen supported her forehead.

Chu Hanxiao was also anxious, the concubine mother never drank so much alcohol, how could she be so abnormal tonight?
"Mother--"

"Concubine mother is fine." Concubine Chen patted Chu Hanxiao's hand comfortingly.

After Chu Chen finished his toast, he returned to his seat.

At this time, Chu Chen also spoke again: "Father, it is said that the Luo family son has also arrived outside the banquet at this time, we might as well make a good couple, take advantage of the reunion, let the eldest sister and Luo Gongzi, the new couple, We can also meet each other. How about it?"

Chu Xiao looked at the silly daughter, and asked formally: "Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, the next sentence shocked everyone present.
