"You..." Zhao Zongheng moved back silently and said quietly: "It's very suitable."

I spent so much time kissing you for nothing!

Si Ningchi stood up angrily, turned around and called for food, but only ordered a pair of bowls and chopsticks, which Zhao Zongheng looked at but refused to eat.

Zhao Zongheng began to feel sluggish. Looking at the dishes on the table and smelling the tempting aroma, he sighed again and again. After Si Ningchi took a bite, he sighed.

Si Ningchi couldn't stand it anymore and glanced over with a sharp look.

Zhao Zongheng couldn't hold it back and said with great resentment: "What do I mean by this emperor..."

Si Ningchi paused and heard Zhao Zongheng continue: "The emperor who has no food to eat is really pitiful."

"Alas——"

"..."

When I go to bed at night, my mind is still there——

Si Ningchi rolled around on the couch in pain. At some point, she seemed to gradually start to care about Zhao Zongheng.

Like?

Si Ningchi looked at the top of the bed curtain and was a little distracted for a moment. Once he started thinking about some things, he couldn't stop. Si Ningchi tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep.

Early the next morning.

Si Ningchi looked depressed. Suyun looked at it and said helplessly: "Did you become a thief yesterday?"

"Have you made arrangements for the Double Ninth Festival Banquet?" Si Ningchi yawned and asked casually, looking at himself in the mirror.

"Mother Jiang has discussed it with several Lords Shang Yi." Suyun said in a low voice: "I will report the specific preparations to the Queen in a while and wait for the Queen to make a decision."

"Aunt Jiang is an old man who is used to doing things. If there is nothing wrong with her, there is no need to report it." Si Ningchi turned his head slightly and said, "I am too lazy to look."

Suyun was a little helpless when he heard this but didn't say anything. Aunt Jiang was sent by the emperor. Fortunately, she was there, otherwise the queen would not be so relaxed and comfortable.

There is nothing new about the Double Ninth Festival banquet. It’s just that the emperor was happy about the border victory and wanted to celebrate it properly at the Double Ninth Festival banquet, so this year’s Double Ninth Festival will be more lively.

The specifications have not changed, but the banquet will be a little more sumptuous, and the place where the banquet will be held is above the Guantai Hall, in a high pavilion, intended to climb high. Outside the hall, there are all kinds of chrysanthemums placed as a decoration.

Appreciate, the various colors and appearances of these chrysanthemums are one of a kind. It is much more joyful to enjoy chrysanthemums and drink alcohol.

On the Double Ninth Festival, all the concubines in the palace learned to wear dogwood in their hair buns to attend the banquet. This palace banquet did not invite many foreign ministers, and only a few military ministers came with the emperor's instructions. Others

The emperor let him go home for the holidays, which is unexpected.

When they entered the palace, they were shocked to find the holy king Zhao Yuanzhen sitting opposite the emperor. He took off his mask and put on the royal python robe. He looked cold and indifferent and kept strangers away. With such a handsome face,

Even if you want people to ignore it, you can't ignore it.

Zhao Yuanzhen's sudden appearance caused everyone to speculate. They had learned earlier that the Holy King had returned to Beijing, and they also said that the Holy King would soon return to the court.

However, there has been no movement after this delay for so long. I thought the emperor just had this intention, but has not yet taken action.

In the palace, the whereabouts of the Holy King were erratic, and few people had seen the Holy King. In addition, Zhao Yuanzhen often wore a mask, so even if he met him, he would not know that he was the Holy King.

Now at this Double Ninth Festival banquet, the Holy King appeared so unexpectedly, which naturally caused many people to be surprised.

The military and aircraft ministers at the back looked normal. They must have said hello to the emperor a long time ago, and the others gradually calmed down.

The Holy King is the emperor's closest relative and uncle, and no one can stop him if he wants to return to the government.

It's just that the timing of the Holy King's return to Beijing is a bit subtle, which inevitably makes people feel a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived——"

Loud shouts came from outside the hall, and everyone stood up to greet him.

Si Ningchi followed Zhao Zongheng and took a seat above the main seat. She raised her eyes and glanced around to see that almost everyone who was supposed to come was here. What surprised her was that Concubine Rong also came.

She was dressed simply, with a small white flower on her hair. Her face didn't look too good, and the thick powder couldn't suppress the green and black color under her eyes.

Si Ningchi raised her eyebrows slightly. She thought that Concubine Rong was greatly hit by this, and she was afraid that it would take a long time for her to come out again. But she didn't expect that she was in such a good mood, and she actually came to this banquet today?

While Zhao Zongheng was talking to all the adults, Wang Chengxiang ran over from outside and whispered to Zhao Zongheng: "The Queen Mother said that she wants the emperor to pick him up for the banquet..."

"Then let her be alone." Zhao Zongheng didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and said in a calm tone: "The Queen Mother is old and should not work hard."

"..." Wang Chengxiang lowered his head silently: "Yes."

I have to say that this Queen Mother is as good at seeking death as ever.

She seems to have been trying very hard to attract the emperor's attention, but every time she attracts the attention, the emperor repeatedly ignores her.

Empress Dowager Cui is really determined. Last time she was forcibly taken back to Ci'an Palace and she was not asked to remember it, so she still wants the emperor to attend the Double Ninth Festival banquet in person?

Really...

I don’t know how much I weigh.

"Have a banquet." With the emperor's order, the banquet officially began.

A very standard song and dance is arranged first. The women dancing in the palace are blooming like chrysanthemums. These dances are danced like this every year. There may be some small changes, but most of the time they are the same.

of.

Zhao Zongheng's expression was gentle, and he didn't know where his mind had wandered.

Boring seems to be written all over his body.

But the expression on that face was still the same. Others could not tell the emperor's true thoughts at all, but for some reason, Si Ningchi could tell it at a glance.

His hand holding the corner of his clothes rubbed it over and over again in boredom, not even bothering to move his chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, all the ladies in the palace are good at singing and dancing. I'm tired of watching these songs and dances." Princess Chaoyang turned to look at Zhao Zongheng and said with a smile: "Why don't you do something different this year?"

"If we say that she is good at dancing, she must be the best among Concubine Yuan." Concubine De turned her head to look at Concubine Yuan with a smile and said: "Concubine Yuan's song of floating life, I am still amazed by this song."

"Since the Emperor and Princess Chaoyang are interested today, how about Concubine Yuan reenact the song from back then?" Concubine De said with a slight raised eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyang forgives me. I have not practiced dancing for many years and I am already unfamiliar with it. How dare you show your shame in front of the Emperor?" Concubine Yuan looked embarrassed and looked at everyone with uncomfortable eyes. She was a concubine after all.

How could you dance in front of so many people so lightly?

"That floating song, the dancing tune is sad and farewell. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and I feel something is wrong." What people never expected was that Concubine Rong would suddenly stand up and speak for Concubine Yuan.
