Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 384 Attending the Banquet

Xue Huang's mood sank to the bottom, her mind was in a mess. She turned around woodenly and walked back silently.

Rong Yu noticed that she was in a bad mood and came over to her, "What's wrong with you?"

Xue Huang shook her head, "I'm a little tired, I want to go rest."

Rong Yu just glanced in the direction of Mo Yunchen without saying anything, and sent Xue Huang back to the room.

Xue Huang sat quietly beside the bed, looking at the wind chimes in front of her, her thoughts in a trance.

The next moment, Mu Guang pulled her into his sea of consciousness.

"Is fate really unavoidable?" she asked calmly.

Mu Guang did not answer this question, "Maybe fate has returned to its original trajectory."

Xue Huang was silent. Time went back. She had eighteen years that were even more carefree than Gu Qingli's, but God gave her a more cruel life.

Or maybe, this was the life she was supposed to have.

She couldn't escape her fate as Gu Qingli, nor could she escape her fate as Wei Xuehuang. But what they couldn't escape was Xiao Jingyu's fate.

“This time, I want to change the ending.”

"The ending has changed." Mu Guang said. "Even if you don't intervene, everyone will still be alive."

"It's not enough." Xue Huang's eyes were firm, "Before I leave, I want to help them as much as possible."

"Are you really determined to leave?"

"Do you think I still have a choice?"

Mu Guang was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Well, let's take it one step at a time."

……

Tutor Zhao died not long after Mo Ruilin was appointed Crown Prince. It was said that he passed away peacefully, lying on a recliner looking at the falling snow, and never woke up again.

His disciples helped Zhao Manqing preside over the ceremony, and everything went in order.

Most of the officials in the court came to pay their respects in person. Mo Ruilin and the two princes also came to pay their respects one after another. The officials who did not come also sent offerings.

Today, the Taifu Mansion held a buffet banquet to thank everyone, and Xue Huang was also invited.

She didn't want to attend such a crowded occasion, but the invitation had already been delivered. In addition, she and Zhao Manqing were acquainted, so she took Yun Qing and Cuinong to the banquet.

However, today's banquet was quite deserted, with most of the guests being women.

Xuehuang followed the maid who led the way all the way to the back house, where Zhao Manqing came to greet her in person.

"See Princess."

Following her greeting, the other female members of the family also stood up and paid their respects.

Xue Huang reached out to support Zhao Manqing, "No need to be so polite."

"This bow is to thank the princess for introducing me to a good doctor that day."

"Serious words."

"Princess, please take a seat."

Zhao Manqing led Xuehuang to the place closest to the main seat at the banquet.

Xue Huang sat down and took a look at the table in front of her. This buffet was powered by water, allowing the dishes to float in front of the guests.

She had seen such designs when she traveled around the world before. They were quite ingenious, novel and elegant. She didn't expect that there were such designs in Shangyang City.

Opposite Xue Huang was the Second Prince's wife Ye Xun, so there was no need for any formalities between the two of them.

But Xue Huang didn't expect her to appear here.

Now, in terms of status, there are only two of them at the table.

Xue Huang glanced around and saw that in addition to the women from the Second Prince's faction, there were also quite a few from the Third Prince's faction, such as Kang Minmin and Du Mengyao.

It was not clear who was next to her until Zhao Manqing introduced them to be the prime minister's wife and his eldest daughter Meng Nianxi.

Meng Rushan, the Prime Minister of Beiling, is the head of the civil officials and also a remarkable man. He is honest, loyal and courageous, and has always remained neutral in the dispute over the princes.

But in this battle for the crown prince, he supported Mo Ruilin as the crown prince.
