The ministers looked at Xiao Hong with some confusion and asked, "Your Highness, since you like her, why not keep the Songstress here?"
Xiao Hong replied, "Because that Songstress only has beautiful eyes, and seeing her only brings annoyance."
His words left everyone present feeling incredulous, but Xiao Hong appeared unperturbed, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
His subordinates couldn't help but exchange glances, feeling puzzled by Xiao Hong's thoughts, but no one dared to question his decision again.
Xiao Hong's words caused a silence in the room, making the atmosphere at the banquet somewhat awkward.
However, Xiao Hong seemed completely unconcerned, continuing to enjoy his wine, his eyes revealing a hint of impatience.
Under his leadership, the banquet continued, with singing and dancing, but the atmosphere was no longer as lively as before.
Xiao Hong's words inevitably led to various speculations about his thoughts. What is he thinking? Why does he disdain the Songstress so much?
These questions lingered in the minds of those present, but no one dared to break the silence because they all knew Xiao Hong's identity and status, and any provocation against him could lead to catastrophic consequences.
The banquet continued, but everyone present couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret and helplessness towards Xiao Hong's actions and thoughts.
Xiao Hong sat at the banquet, silent, his mind seemingly drifting far away, as if indifferent to the lively scene before him.
Around him, people continued to sing and dance, but he seemed to be in another world, a lonely and indifferent world.
On this night, the lights at the banquet were bright, but the laughter and singing could not conceal Xiao Hong's inner loneliness and confusion. His eyes were deep and hollow, as if searching for an answer, yet not knowing where to begin.
In this palace, his state of mind seemed out of place with everyone else, and his inner world was filled with various contradictions and perplexities.
However, Xiao Hong was unwilling to show his inner vulnerability and unease to anyone. He maintained a cold and indifferent exterior, as if he had a heart as calm as still water towards everything in the world.
Many flattering courtiers, upon seeing the type of women their lord favored, began to recruit various women to present to him, but each one was rejected by Xiao Hong.
After being rejected by Xiao Hong in succession, the courtiers began to feel confused and uneasy. They had thought that as long as they presented beautiful women to Xiao Hong, they could win his favor, but reality proved to be disappointing for them.
Faced with Xiao Hong's firm refusal, these ministers were filled with doubt and confusion. Could it be that Xiao Hong is not interested in beautiful women? Could it be that he has more profound preferences?
They couldn't help but start to doubt their past judgments and actions. Perhaps they didn't understand Xiao Hong deeply enough, or perhaps their thoughts were completely different from Xiao Hong's.
However, faced with this sudden confusion, they were at a loss, not knowing how to meet Xiao Hong's needs in order to win his favor and approval.
In the palace, an inexplicable tense atmosphere began to envelop the courtiers, who were suspicious and wary of each other, fearing that their actions might displease Xiao Hong and incur punishment and retribution.
However, Xiao Hong seemed completely indifferent to it all, maintaining a calm and aloof attitude as if unconcerned with the intrigues of the court. Under his leadership, daily affairs in the court continued, and the ministers, while outwardly compliant, were filled with unease and worry.
They don't know what Xiao Hong is thinking, nor do they know if he is satisfied with his own actions, which makes them feel more anxious and confused.
In the palace, an inexplicable tension began to escalate, and the ministers' suspicions and struggles with each other became increasingly intense, making the situation within the palace extremely precarious.
However, Xiao Hong seemed completely indifferent to it all, maintaining a calm and aloof attitude as if completely unconcerned with the intrigues of the court.
In the capital of Liang Kindom, deep within the I, the morning sunlight shines through the tall palace windows, casting onto the exquisite floor tiles. In the magnificent hall, strands of light dance in the air, as if even time itself becomes Xiao Zhan at this moment.
Xiao Hong, the powerful figure of Liang Kindom, dressed in a black brocade robe, enters the emperor's study. The room is filled with the scent of books, with rows of bookshelves displaying various classic works, each representing a piece of history and wisdom.
The emperor sat behind his desk, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, his expression Xiao Zhan and profound. His eyes seemed to hold the wisdom of having seen through the ups and downs of the world, and when his gaze fell on Xiao Hong, it was as if he could see into her heart.
"Xiao Hong, I heard that your recent behavior has been somewhat unconventional. Has the splendor and power of the palace made you weary?" The emperor's voice was calm and deep, each word and sentence carrying an irresistible authority.
Xiao Hong slightly lowered his head, a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes, but quickly regained his composure. "Your Majesty, I... I just feel a bit lost. The pursuit of power and status no longer seems to bring me true satisfaction."
These words made the Emperor furrow his brow slightly, as if he had not expected Xiao Hong to have such thoughts. " Xiao Hong, I know you have grown up in the palace since childhood, and you have deep feelings of boredom and oppression about this court life. But you should know that everyone in this position must bear corresponding responsibilities and pressures."
Xiao Hong looked up, his eyes revealing a firm determination. "Your Majesty, I have been pondering what true satisfaction and happiness really are. Can power and status truly bring us lasting peace and joy?"
The Emperor listened quietly, his gaze gradually softening. "Xiao Hong, I understand your thoughts. Within this palace, everyone is striving for power and status, often forgetting their original intentions and their true selves. I hope you can find your own answers, find that true satisfaction and happiness."
This speech seemed to have given Xiao Hong some inspiration, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I... I will think about it carefully."
After that, Xiao Hong left the study, walking through the long corridor leading to the outer courtyard, his heart filled with complex emotions. He contemplated the Emperor's words and pondered his own future.
And at that moment, he inadvertently looked up and saw a woman in a light blue dress standing in the garden in the distance, and that person was Chao Qinglan.
Chao Qinglan seemed to have noticed his gaze as well. She smiled slightly, and that smile was like a warm spring breeze, instantly bringing a sense of warmth to Xiao Hong's heart.
He slowly walked towards her, and the two stood facing each other in the garden, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.
" Qinglan, I have been thinking all along, what is true satisfaction and happiness?" Xiao Hong spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of exploration.
Chao Qinglan smiled slightly, "Perhaps true satisfaction and happiness lie in pursuing what one truly loves and spending time with loved ones."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Xiao Hong's eyes as he looked at Chao Qinglan, as if he had found the answer in his heart.
" Qinglan, thank you. Perhaps I should let go of my power and status, and seek the true satisfaction and happiness that belong to me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the surrounding scenery seemed to become brighter. At that moment, they both felt an unprecedented sense of ease and freedom.
Chao Qinglan looked at Xiao Hong with a determined gaze, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable strength. "Xiao Hong, a real man, a moment of defeat and despair does not suit you. From childhood to now, although you have been timid and afraid of death, that has never been a shameful thing. Everyone has their own weaknesses, but what's important is how to face them, how to overcome them."
Xiao Hong listened, and the fog in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate, and his eyes regained their light.
He recalled his past, the days of constantly struggling in adversity and seeking hope in despair. Chao Qinglan's words were like a key, unlocking the courage and determination that had long been suppressed in his heart.
" Qinglan, you are right. When did I become so afraid of failure and challenges? In this palace, I have learned too much scheming and strategy, but I have also forgotten my true self." Xiao Hong spoke with a sense of determination and introspection.
Chao Qinglan gently held his hand, her eyes filled with encouragement and support. " Xiao Hong, you used to be that fearless, daring young man. That courage and determination have never left you; they have always been within you. As long as you are willing, you can overcome any difficulty and pursue your own path."
With the encouragement of Chao Qinglan, Xiao Hong's spirit seemed to be reborn. He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with new determination and hope. " Qinglan sister, thank you. With your encouragement, I feel like there's nothing I can't overcome."
The two smiled at each other, and in that moment, all the confusion and perplexity vanished without a trace.
From this moment on, Xiao Hong decided to let go of past fears and hesitations, and rediscover the brave self. He no longer just pursued power and status, but sought true inner peace.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also walked over and said, "Indeed, I am still not as insightful as you, my queen sister."
Xiao Yan's appearance added a sense of Xiao Zhan ity and warmth to the harmonious scene. His words were full of praise and gratitude for Chao Qinglan, while also showing recognition for Xiao Hong's transformation.
Xiao Hong and Chao Qinglan quickly bowed to express their respect for the emperor. There was a hint of gratitude in Xiao Hong's eyes, "Your Majesty, it was the Empress who gave me the strength to rediscover myself and courage."
Chao Qinglan smiled slightly, her attitude was both humble and firm, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I was just doing what I should do. Xiao Hong has his own thoughts and courage, I just reminded him to remember his original intention."
Xiao Yan looked at them with deep eyes, " Xiao Hong, Qinglan, I am pleased that you have found your own path and happiness. I believe that neither power nor status should affect the true heart."
His words not only express understanding and support for the current situation, but also hold expectations and hopes for the future of Liang Kindom as a whole.
Xiao Yan then turned to Xiao Hong, saying, "Xiao Hong, I know of your intelligence and careful thinking. In the future, I hope that you can use your wisdom and courage to create more possibilities for Liang Kindom. This includes not only in political matters, but also in your personal dreams and pursuits."
Then he looked at Chao Qinglan again, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Empress, I know that the prosperity of the country is not only because of ministers like Xiao Hong, but also because we need a wise and understanding mother of the nation like you. Both of you are my pride."
