Chapter 535: Regent King the Keeper Wants a Kiss 66
The new Emperor ascended the throne, granting amnesty to the world.
The new Emperor is the son of Prince Huan.
Quite young, he appears just slightly over twenty years old.
Draped in a yellow robe, his visage handsome, truly a pleasing sight to behold.
The night falls.
At the palace banquet, the imperial throne is at the foremost position.
Right below and to the left sits Yu Wenxu.
Wearing a black robe, he’s at the table closest to the throne.
Su Yan is seated next to Yu Wenxu, her attention entirely on the food at that table.
However, she did notice one thing.
The little eunuch just called for obeisance.
All kneeled and kowtowed, except Yu Wenxu, who remained motionless in his wheelchair.
Even the new Emperor spoke out, excusing him from kneeling.
Su Yan’s kowtow was spared as well.
When the palace banquet began, song and dance ascended the platform, filling the air with melody and movement.
Everywhere was permeated with joy.
With her head lowered, Su Yan, in pure white attire and a headdress with swaying pendants,
ate the food on the table bite by bite.
Mmm, this golden thread soft cake is really delicious.
Yes, this chicken soup is good too.
After half an hour.
Most of the food on this table had been swept clean.
Looking at others’ tables, they were nearly untouched.
After all, this was a royal banquet, where everyone was refined and courteous; who would dare to truly treat it like home and indulge in eating?
Well, Su Yan did.
Ignoring everyone else, she had eyes only for the food.
Just as she was intending to continue eating,
Yu Wenxu whispered with a smile in her ear,
"Take a break before eating more?"
Su Yan raised her head to look at him, his arm unabashedly around her waist.
And in her hand, she still held a piece of rose pastry.
Thinking about it, it seemed he hadn’t eaten anything yet.
She pinched the rose pastry,
"Want some?"
As she asked, she already brought it to his lips.
As always, he never refused anything given by Su Yan, and had never turned down anything.
While feeding him, Su Yan touched his wheelchair,
and suddenly remembered something.
"Your legs, how are they now?"
It had been two days now, twelve two-hour periods had already passed.
Why was he still using a wheelchair?
Seeing her concerned expression, Yu Wenxu couldn’t help but pinch her cheek,
"I’ve been poisoned for some years now, perhaps it will take some more time."
While listening to his reply, Su Yan asked Xiao Hua.
And Xiao Hua, hesitatingly, gave the same answer,
"Host, he’s been poisoned for many years, naturally, he can’t be compared to those who were recently poisoned."
Su Yan realized, that made sense.
Yu Wenxu pulled her hand,
"Eat."
Su Yan lowered her head to find that the dishes have been changed to a new selection.
The remains of her previous feast had already been cleared away.
The tempting aroma of new dishes.
Su Yan’s appetite was immediately stirred.
So she sat down and continued eating.
Below the steps, Xuanyuan Qing observed this scene, his gaze filled with complex emotions.
So, she had already become a Princess.
No matter how hard he tried, she would never belong to him.
This sense of loss was even more painful than the scolding he received from the Father Emperor and Mother in the past.
Since that day at the Prince Mansion amidst the flowers,
he was captivated by this woman.
All these days, he longed to see her again.
But he never expected it would be in such a manner.
As he thought, he lifted the wine cup at his side and downed it in one go.
But was her marriage to Yu Wenxu voluntary, or was she forced?
Yes, Yu Wenxu holds high status and power.
But he is crippled.
No woman would willingly wish to be with a cripple.
Moreover, the banquet has been going on for nearly an hour.
She rarely lifted her head to talk to him, mostly just focusing on her food.
Is she resisting?
