Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet.
When Ren Huai showed up at the banquet, all the unmarried female family members looked at him.
Zhu Sijia couldn't hold it back either.
It's exactly what Du Xian said.
Ren Huai traveled back to the capital day and night. When he entered the palace, he didn't even have time to take off his military uniform and hurriedly met the emperor and went to the banquet.
After months of fighting on the battlefield, he became tanned, and his outline and facial features became clearer and more erect. His stature became taller and stronger, and he lost some of the girlish delicacy that he had cultivated in the luxury and leisure life in Beijing.
It seems that he really has the stability of a young man who is beginning to grow up and has lost his youthfulness and immaturity.
In two years, Ren Huai will reach the top.
He is at the right age to discuss marriage. Today, he made a stunning appearance in military uniform. Although he did not have time to wash away the dust of travel, it gave him more of the hard-to-find chivalrous atmosphere, which attracted the attention of the young girls at the table. Fangxin secretly promised.
Zhu Sijia suddenly thought, is Ren Huai considered one of the best men in the world? But with his temper, he probably couldn't stand Zhu Siying's temperament...
Forget it, when it comes to marriage, it’s not enough to just focus on eye compatibility. What’s more important is the fusion of personalities between the younger generations.
She still doesn't want to be the matchmaker anymore.
Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu sat in a high position together, and looked at Ren Huai a few more times, and Yan Xiu could sense it.
While the ministers were toasting and drinking, he secretly pinched Zhu Sijia's waist and came closer to her:
"Is Uncle Chiayi that good-looking, huh?"
Zhu Scarlett: "Your Majesty, you think he is not good-looking?"
Yan Xiu: "...The appearance of the people I personally trained is naturally not inferior."
Zhu Sijia smiled and took his hand away: "Then why is it strange for me to look at you more often? Everyone else can see it, but I can't? Or is it that your majesty is jealous?"
Yan Xiu: "I'm just jealous, Zhu Zhaoyi, you deserve to be punished."
Zhu Scarlett: "Okay, I will let your Majesty handle it after the palace banquet."
In the middle of the banquet, the captured Zhou royal family entered the main hall.
Except for the prince and princess who committed suicide, everyone else was captured by Ren Huai and brought to Xijing unharmed.
Although Zhu Sijia was from Qin, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw the Zhou people being brought into the main hall and being laughed or pointed at by Qin officials.
She didn't like to see such occasions.
Yan Xiu gave the old Zhou emperor the title of Duke Shouyang of the Qin Dynasty and gave him a residence in Chongling--
In the eyes of outsiders, he is somewhat cruel. Although Chongling has a lot of land and a lot of money, the Ren family who destroyed the Zhou Dynasty also lives in Chongling.
Zhu Sijia didn't want to stay at the palace banquet, so she just found an excuse to go out.
…
There are many children coming to the palace tonight.
Zhu Scarlett walked to the Imperial Garden and happened to catch a group of children playing hide and seek. The laughter and laughter came to her ears from the direction of the Imperial Garden. Although it was noisy, it was more pleasant than the sounds in the palace.
Although there were many rules in the palace, and although Yan Xiu had a cold temperament, he would not impose too many restrictions on his ministers' heirs during large and small palace banquets, and allowed them to play far away from the banquet.
Zhu Sijia was afraid of disturbing the children's interest, so she found a swing and sat down silently.
This time last year, she was still fighting with all her strength in the fire scene. She didn't know who rescued her from the fire scene after she fainted. When she woke up, she only saw Yan Xiu.
"You two are too young, we don't want to play with you."
His thoughts were interrupted by the voices of children.
"You older kids love to bully people."
A more childish voice sounded, and Zhu Sijia carefully identified it. The little girl who spoke seemed to be Huaiyu?
As she expected, she heard Huai Jin's voice next: "Sooner or later we will grow up, why do you bully others?"
The strange boy continued to reason with the two of them: "But the crown prince and the county magistrate are both too small, and it's getting late. We're afraid that you might bump into each other, and if they fall out -"
Huaiyu shouted angrily: "You definitely don't want to play with us! Believe it or not, I asked the emperor's uncle and mother to deal with you?"
"Oh, why is the county boss still hitting people with small stones?"
"The County Lord and the Crown Prince are relying on His Majesty's support! I will never take you to play again..."
Is this a fight?
Zhu Scarlett got up from the swing and wanted to go around the rockery to stop him.
Before she even showed her head, she heard another voice: "Stop fighting. Fighting is wrong. The Crown Prince, the County Lord, I can play hide and seek with you."
Looking in the direction of Huaijin and Huaiyu, the person blocking them was none other than his second brother Zhu Yuanxi.
Zhu Yuanxi was wearing a red round-neck robe tonight and looked energetic. He was so tall that he looked out of place standing among other children of the same age.
At this moment, he was acting like an adult to stop the dispute between the children.
Zhu Sijia crossed her arms and watched with interest not far away to see if her second brother had begun to show the ability to turn conflicts into friendship.
A figure silently leaned towards her. When she heard the footsteps of the visitor, she subconsciously wanted to run away. After all, nothing good would happen every time the palace banquet was held in the rockery. It was not until the familiar light fragrance floated into her nose that she knew who the visitor was.
Yan Xiu unexpectedly followed her out so quickly, stood with her, and looked at the pile of noisy children together.
Zhu Sijia: "How come Xuanzhi has the time to come out and watch the fun?"
Yan Xiu: "Come out and let Cicada breathe."
While the two of them were talking, Zhu Yuanxi over there solved the problem smoothly. He held Huaijin in one hand and Huaiyu in the other:
"Your Majesty, County Lord, the three of us can play hide and seek together."
The large group of children just now quickly changed positions, leaving this place to the three of them.
Huaiyu was extremely happy: "Okay, okay, little brother, you are so kind."
Zhu Sijia asked Yan Xiu: "I'll ask the palace people to come over and take a closer look."
Although the moonlight is like daylight, the children are still young.
Yan Xiu held her hand: "I will accompany you."
…
When Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu came back, they heard Huaiyu's cry and Huaijin's comfort.
The two of them had only been gone for a while, so why did Huaiyu start crying again?
Yan Xiu chose to step forward this time, bent down and took Huaiyu into his arms: "Huaiyu, don't cry, tell uncle what happened?"
Huaiyu cried: "I can't find the little brother in red."
Huaijin: "Yes, uncle, we were playing hide-and-seek just now. My sister was responsible for searching, and my brother and I were responsible for hiding. My sister found me first, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find my brother. We agreed that we would Hidden around here.”
Yan Xiu smiled and comforted Huaiyu: "Don't cry, why are you patiently looking for him? Uncle believes that Second Young Master Zhu must be waiting for you nearby."
Huaiyu shook his head and said coquettishly to Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu: "I can't walk anymore. Can uncle and aunt accompany Huaiyu to look for me?"
Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu looked at each other and agreed to Huaiyu's request.
But it was true as Huaijin said. The two of them helped the two little ones search for a long time, but there was still no trace of Zhu Yuanxi.
Yan Xiu frowned and said, "Cicada, you are his second sister, why don't you call him out?"
Congratulations to Scarlett: "Okay."
She shouted in the bamboo forest for a long time, but there was no response from Zhu Yuanxi.
Only then did Yan Xiu realize the seriousness of the problem and quickly ordered the palace officials to search everywhere.
