The Blind Maiden

The Blind Maiden
09. The Dinner Banquet


After making sure that everything was safe, then Su Bei brought his three sons and daughter and his wife to enter the Palace, this time Su Bei watched them with heart so as not to make any more mistakes. Do not let the same mistake be repeated again, however this is the Palace.


Su Bei and his family walked into the already crowded Imperial Hall and there were countless survivors.


They were treated by a great deal of wine, either to pay Su Bei a visit or deliberately to make Su Bei intoxicated and out of control.


"Dad, don't drink too much. If not, you will get drunk. " Whispered Su Qionglin in agitation.


"Just calm down, brother. Our father is a very resistant person to wine, Our father is the legendary Mr. Arak. How could it possibly get drunk in this little cup cup ?" Su Lian asked proudly.


"Qionglin, you always seem to be anxious. Is there something bothering you ?" Su Yun asked sensibly and held both of his shoulders.


"It's okay, I'm just anxious because it's the first time I've come to an important event. " Su Qionglin replied lying perfectly.


No one would be suspicious of the reason as indeed it was a very reasonable reason for Su Qionglin to be nervous and anxious.


But, actually the reason Su Qionglin's unreasonable fear was Ling Yi's true existence.


Not to mention, given that the Emperor was trying to marry off the Su Family to the Imperial Family.


Ling Yi was also included in the members of the Empire, even including one of the members of the Main Empire.


He had many titles and many achievements if he heard the words Su Lian said earlier, this made him even more anxious.


Of course, if it were to look for the person who was married then it would never be her, but rather Su Lian and this made Su Qionglin feel uneasy.


His anxiety continued to attack him blindly until finally the Emperor came and everyone kowtowed humbly before the Emperor.


"Stand ! Everyone stand up ! Today is to be happy as we should celebrate General Su's 15th victory and General Ling's 9th victory, this is a bliss for our Ling Empire. " Said Emperor Ling.


Everyone clapped proudly and Emperor Ling was right in a good mood when he heard from his tone.


Everyone cheered, celebrating this happy day. The emperor raised his wine cup to toast with all the guests who came.


"I will reward General Su for his hard work for the Empire and his decades of service. " Said the Emperor and all the members of the Su Family walking forward and kneeling before the Emperor.


"As a form of affection intertwined between the Imperial Family and the Su Family, then I will grant Bing Lan Wang the title. And also will match the Crown Prince with Su Bei's daughter, Su Bei choose which one you think is worthy to marry the Crown Prince. " Said the Emperor.


"Please Your Majesty decide, my eldest daughter is a gentle and polite person, does not have many requests and obedience, understands basic etiquette, has extensive knowledge, and has a wide range of needs, it was just that he had a slight flaw in his sight. My second daughter, who likes to play and cheerful, has unlimited spirit, has a curiosity about new things, and is honest. Only, he preferred to speak bluntly. " Su Bei said humbly pleading.


Su Bei did not say it bluntly, it was just that the Emperor could see the flaws experienced by Su Qionglin.


"It's a pity.... In that case, then I will choose the youngest daughter of Su House, Su Lian. " Say the Emperor calmly.


Su Qionglin was not offended by the Emperor's words, is there something wrong with that ? She is not a perfect jewel.


She was unfit for the Crown Prince and did not want him either, it was also good for Su Lian to marry the Crown Prince, where her life was already assured.


Meanwhile, only he was still threatened, not knowing how it related to Ling Yi.


Everyone sat back to their place and enjoyed the dinner held by the Empire.


Su Qionglin felt that his breathing had become more slack after confirming that his thoughts were exaggerated, it was possible that Ling Yi was not the person in his dreams and was just a similar person.


He could not guess in just a few clues like this, Su Qionglin felt that he was a bit sleepy and somewhat lowered his head before finally falling asleep.


He dreamed that he was in a place with chaos and heard the sound of horse neighing and screaming of soldiers.


Su Qionglin guessed that he was inside the battlefield, only that he could not see around.


Suddenly, someone hugged himself and this person who hugged him gasped, Su Qionglin was able to easily guess that this was his father.


"Dad, Dad.... What's wrong ?" Su Qionglin asked as she returned Su Bei's embrace.


Until finally Su Qionglin realized that Su Bei had been harvested on his back and vomited blood.


"Dad ! What's going on ?" Su Qionglin asked immediately in panic and cried.


"Father won't be able to protect you anymore, Qionglin. I won't be able to take care of you anymore, my dear. It's a pity that we have to part ways so quickly. " Answer Su Bei with a brick.


"Your life will be difficult in the future but you must be strong, not to hurt yourself, let alone think of catching up with Father and Mother. " Su Bei continued before finally falling down and Su Qionglin immediately let out a desperate scream.


Su Qionglin gasped and woke up again, before finally realizing that he was still at the Palace banquet.


Apparently, no one realized that he had fallen asleep and had nightmares. It was fortunate that it was all a dream, it was just that his fear was still crawling itself.


Su Qionglin pulled out her handkerchief and gently swept her own face, trying to be nice alone.


"Lian, are there any good sweet foods ?" Asked Su Qionglin.


"Everything's good, brother ! You should try one. " Su Lian said enthusiastically.


"Su Lian ! Keep your attitude, you are now the Crown Princess Candidate, don't get along too much with others. " Say Madam Su coldly.


Indirectly saying that Su Lian should not associate much with Su Qionglin in order not to damage her own reputation.
