The scene that flashed through Zhao Yu's mind was Xiao Ce holding Qin Zhao's white hand. Even though this was just his imagination, he felt that he was not wrong.
The emperor's deep feelings are not just empty words.
Zhao Yu was in a complicated mood, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Many people present brought their relatives to participate in the hunt, but there was no one around him. Firstly, Wu Xiyu's previous status was not suitable for participating in such a big occasion, and secondly, because he did not need a beauty to accompany him.
It's nice to be alone on a hunt without any involvement.
After Sai Qing took a seat next to Seth, he was unwilling to be left out by Xiao Ce. He raised a glass of wine and said to Xiao Ce: "Sai Qing has heard of His Majesty's holy name for a long time and has admired it for a long time. I would like to offer you a glass of wine. Sai Qing will drink first."
Out of respect."
After she finished speaking, she drank a glass of wine with great pride. When she raised her neck to drink, she revealed her slender and elegant jade neck, with attractive lines, which was a moving scene.
On such a grand occasion, as the king of Da Qi, Xiao Ce couldn't let Sai Qing lose face, so he picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, thus dismissing Sai Qing's toast.
Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce was worried about her, so she took the initiative to show her kindness this time and pushed the fruit in front of Xiao Ce: "Your Majesty has a bad stomach and shouldn't drink too much. You can't drink any more tonight."
"That's what the queen said." Facing Qin Zhao's face, the coldness between Xiao Ce's brows naturally dissipated.
Qin Zhao peeled the grapes and brought them to Xiao Ce's thin lips, showing great attentiveness.
While Xiao Ce was flattered, he was also worried that Qin Zhao would feel uncomfortable. He carefully observed Qin Zhao's expression and felt relieved when he saw that she was not unhappy in any way.
He then reciprocated the favor and peeled the grapes and brought them to Qin Zhao's lips.
The emperor and empress sat in the most conspicuous position, showing off their affection as if no one else was around, and stuffed a large bowl of dog food for the onlookers.
All the concubines in the harem were used to this scene. On the contrary, it was the first time for Madam Gaoming and the noble ladies to see this scene, and they found it incredible.
Although it is no secret that Xiao Ce dotes on Qin Zhao, seeing it with your own eyes is still shocking.
Sai Qing frowned slightly when he saw this scene, "How can your Majesty be so humble to a woman?"
He is obviously a king who looks down on the world, but he takes great care of a woman. What does it look like?
"If he was so humble to you, would you still ask this question?" Seth said with a half-smile.
Sai Qing was speechless for a moment.
If Xiao Ce was so kind to her, she would naturally be extremely happy. But when Xiao Ce faced her just now, he never looked at her and was so indifferent.
In the final analysis, she was just jealous of Qin Zhao.
"But you are not Qin Zhao." Seth said again.
Every woman wants to be Qin Zhao and replace Qin Zhao, but no woman can do what Qin Zhao did and bring Xiao Ce, the aloof emperor, down from the mortal world.
Sai Qing snorted coldly: "Why should I become Qin Zhao? Brother Emperor, help me and let me enter Xiao Ce's harem. As long as I enter that harem, I can push Qin Zhao, the queen, down from the throne!"
Seth shook his head. He really didn’t know where his sister got her confidence. With an appearance like Sai Qing’s, there were many concubines in Da Qi’s harem.
Xiao Ce had just dismissed Sai Qing, but he knew that Sai Qing had never caught Xiao Ce's eyes.
"Brother, help me. I will definitely become Xiao Ce's favorite concubine. When I am pregnant with the emperor's heir, the child will also be of the blood of the Yuezhi. This will be of great benefit to my Yueshi without any harm." Sai Qing
Keep lobbying.
Seth sneered: "He doesn't like you."
Where did Sai Qing get the confidence to think that it would be so easy to enter Xiao Ce's harem?
"Brother Huang, when you help me, you are also helping yourself, and even more so, the Yueshi. Why don't you try? How will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try?" Sai Qing was unwilling to come to Daqi in vain.
She likes Daqi's fertile soil, the emperors here, and the humanistic style here. Everything here is to her liking.
Qin Zhao was sitting not far from Seth, and of course he heard the conversation between the two siblings.
She came closer to Xiao Ce and whispered: "Princess Dayuezhi wants to enter your harem, King Dayuezhi also has the same idea, and both brothers and sisters want you to take Seiqing in."
Xiao Ce turned to look at Qin Zhao, feeling that she moved him even more under the moonlight.
There was a fire in his heart, which made him jealous.
Qin Zhao felt that the way Xiao Ce looked at her was a little strange, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the emperor's look like?"
Xiao Ce's reaction was a little slow, his eyes still fixed on Qin Zhao's face, and then settled on her red lips.
Qin Zhao's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Ce shook his head and looked away from Qin Zhao's face with difficulty.
He looked at the banquet scene and returned to normal after being in a daze for a moment, as if the gaffe just now had never happened.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce quietly and felt that Xiao Ce's reaction was a bit strange. She had specifically warned Xiao Ce just now, but Xiao Ce said nothing.
But looking at Xiao Ce's profile like this, there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
After that, a noble lady showed up to play the piano, trying to attract Xiao Ce's attention, but Xiao Ce looked uninterested and didn't even wink.
During this period, Qin Zhao listened carefully to the whispers of everyone present, but did not hear the voice of Princess Yongning. Even Yunran did not make any strange movement.
Don't have any plans tonight?
After all, the official hunt won't start until tomorrow, so it seems to make sense that we don't have any plans tonight.
Not only did there not be any unusual movement on Princess Yongning's side, but there was also no abnormality heard in the whispers of other people.
Qin Zhao thought that the night was passed safely, and he felt relaxed at the moment.
She thought that the real crisis would occur during hunting. At that time, it would be best to make a hunting trap, and Xiao Ce would have to go hunting himself. If someone wanted to harm Xiao Ce, hunting would be the best opportunity to do so.
At the end of the dinner, Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao stood up first.
Xiao Ce was about to accompany Qin Zhao back to the palace to rest, but Seth stopped Xiao Ce at this moment: "I have something to say to your majesty, can you take a moment to speak?"
Qin Zhao was a little surprised that Seth would call Xiao Ce alone, but considering that these two are the kings of the same country, it seems normal to have something to talk to alone.
Xiao Ce was afraid that Qin Zhao was in danger outside, so he said to Qin Zhao: "Zhao Zhao, you go back and rest first. I will come back later."
Qin Zhao nodded slightly: "The concubine is waiting for the emperor in the palace."
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang again and signaled him to send more people to protect Qin Zhao.
After all, it's night. If someone wants to take action, isn't this the best time to do it?
He didn't worry about anything else, he only worried about Qin Zhao's safety.
Zhang Jixiang naturally knew his master's worries. In fact, when he was in the palace, he received an order that whenever the emperor was not with the empress, a group of secret guards needed to be sent to protect the empress.
Now that the emperor wanted to walk separately from the queen, he did not dare to neglect it.
