"It really hasn't changed for thousands of years." Xia Ziluo complained and sighed.
Murong Xitian pulled her to sit down: "If you have the opportunity to see the morning dynasty, you will know what true unchangeability means. These people are all carved from the same mold. Every day they repeat the scene of the previous day. Time passes.
When they grow up, they will no longer be regarded as human beings, they are completely zombies under the official status of the imperial court."
"...You are so sharp." Xia Ziluo blinked. Although he knew that Murong Xitian was exaggerating, he couldn't help but almost burst into laughter when he thought of the scene he described.
Murong Xitian couldn't help but feel excited when he saw her trying her best to hold back her laughter. His thousand-year-old iceberg face showed a rare soft smile.
This scene fell in Ye Zixuan's eyes. She gritted her teeth with hatred, and almost tore the embroidered handkerchief worth a hundred gold into pieces with her hand hidden under the table.
"Xia Ziluo, I will get my cousin back sooner or later, and you will only become a concubine, and you will be convicted of Xia Qingtian's rebellion, and will be thrown into the abyss of eternal damnation." Ye Zixuan squeezed out vicious words through her teeth,
The look in Xia Ziluo's eyes was even more fierce, filled with bloodthirsty light.
Xia Ziluo suddenly felt creepy, as if he were a poor little hamster being stared at by a cat.
She subconsciously raised her head and met Ye Zixuan's eyes.
In an instant, Ye Zixuan put on the most beautiful smile, perfectly interpreting what it means to have a snake-like heart but the most tender and gentle smile.
Looking at Ye Zixuan's smile, Xia Ziluo suddenly felt strange in his heart.
She always felt that there was something missing in Ye Zixuan's gentle smile, but she couldn't figure it out even if she tried hard.
"What are you looking at?" Murong Xitian noticed that Xia Ziluo was looking at something blankly, and he also looked over in confusion. When he saw Ye Zixuan sitting opposite, there was no surprise or emotion in his eyes, he just expressed
The elder brother nodded calmly and smiled.
"It's nothing." Xia Ziluo hurriedly looked away, just in time to see Murong Leiting and the Queen Mother appear, and hurriedly tugged on Murong Xitian's sleeves, "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch's announcement resounded throughout the hall.
In an instant, the main hall was even quieter than when Murong Xitian and Xia Ziluo appeared. Everyone was kneeling on the ground, all of them hanging their heads in fear but respectfully.
It was not until the Queen Mother and Her Majesty took their seats that all the civil and military officials came together to pay their respects and wish the country peace and prosperity.
"It turns out that everyone is just like me. Even if they lower their heads, they will peek out of the corner of their eyes." Although Xia Ziluo did not kneel, he saluted according to the rules.
Murong Xitian, who also did not kneel down, couldn't help but smile when he heard her words: "How do you say that?"
"Otherwise, how would everyone know that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty were seated and shout long live at this moment?" Xia Ziluo sounded like Murong Xitian was an idiot.
"If this is not the case, how can we observe the words and expressions? Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. All of these people are human beings." Murong Xitian supported Xia Ziluo and sat back in his seat.
At this time, the banquet began, with singing and dancing first, and then came the main event - the officials and their families congratulated the country on peace and prosperity, and at the same time presented gifts to the Queen Mother and Her Majesty.
According to the rules, the first gift at the beginning must be given by Prince Xiao, who is a member of the royal family.
So, Murong Xitian took Xia Ziluo out of the banquet, and walked to the emperor's side to congratulate him. Unexpectedly, Ye Zixuan came uninvited and congratulated him together.
