885 Banquet in the Palace 4 (1/2)

Lei Chen had just thought of getting up to follow when Lei Yuan tugged at his sleeve.

”Second Brother, what are you doing?” Lei Chen ask the pudgy Lei Yuan with a frown on his face.

Lei Yuan said in a low voice: ”My Royal Brother is so intelligent, surely you realise what Father was saying. Since Father intends for Fourth Brother to interact more with that Jun Xie, it will be better that my Royal Brother does not go against Father's wishes. I know you are close to the Zephyr Academy. But even if you sacrifice one Jun Xie to Fourth Brother, wouldn't you still have all the others?”

Lei Yuan had witnessed Jun Xie's prowess before. But the Emperor had spoken out today that he wished to see Jun Xie and Lei Fan to interact a little more with each other. Wasn't their Father being obvious enough?

Lei Chen's eyes narrowed and he turned to look up at the throne to see the Emperor seemingly highly distracted. The Emperor's gaze was coincidentally looking at Jun Xie at that moment and Lei Chen thought about it a moment before deciding to give up on his original intention, finally sitting down to drown his sorrows in drink sulkily.

Lei Fan had by that time come to stand beside Jun Xie and he looked at Jun Xie smilingly to say: ”Does Jun Xie think that the banquet today to be enjoyable?'

Jun Wu Xie remained silent and did not say a word.

Lei Fan seemed to have gotten used to Jun Xie's cold and distant personality and did not really mind it.

However, just as Lei Fan was intending to ask Jun Xie something more when a guard from outside the palace came in to make a report.

”Reporting to Your Majesty, the Grand Adviser is here.”

The Emperor snapped back to attention quickly and was just about to say something when his gaze subconsciously fell on Jun Xie before he quickly said: ”I am suddenly thinking that Jun Xie with his young age, would not really enjoy the dull banquet here. Little Fan, as a Prince, you must play a good host to Jun Xie. Such dances and performances might not be to his taste, so why don't you bring Jun Xie to the Imperial Garden to take a stroll. This year, we just planted the newly cultivated green chrysanthemums in there.”
