This drowsy situation lasted until dusk faded. Ling Luo kept sitting politely. She felt that her bones were about to fall apart.
Finally, the two most distinguished people on the high platform seemed to be tired. After doing their best to save face, they turned around and left the table, going back to the palace to rest.
The birthday banquet was over and all the officials left the banquet one after another.
When Ling Luo stood up, her legs were numb. She tripped and almost fell. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Yu had quick eyes and quick hands and held her arm.
"Thank you." Ling Luo smiled lightly, with a hint of exhaustion in her expression.
Xuanyuan Yu sighed softly and said, "Let me help you walk."
Ling Luo hesitated for a moment, but due to the numbness of his legs, he still gave up the pretense, put his hand on Xuanyuan Yu's strong arm, and walked forward slowly with support.
The intimate look of the two people supporting each other fell into the eyes of His Highness King Qi Chen Moxuan. He stood there, looking at the backs of the two people with a very uncomfortable look.
The humble girl he had always looked down upon and hated the most could suddenly shine brightly and become the center of attention.
He has always admired strong people, and he likes beautiful and talented girls the most, so he has always been attracted to Xia Bingye.
Looking at it now, under Ling Luo's light, everything as beautiful as Xia Bingye looked much dim.
He... seemed to have accidentally abandoned a woman who could have helped him rise to the top!
In the past few days, he had been begging his father to grant him a marriage, but it was said that the Minister of Household Affairs did not seem to agree and insisted on marrying Xia Bingye to the prince.
Unfortunately, the prince seemed to have no interest in Xia Bingye at all.
Just after all the officials had left, a maid walked up to Chen Moxuan, bowed and saluted, and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, King Qi, the Queen, please go to Kunning Palace to have a talk."
"I understand." Chen Moxuan waved his hand and signaled the maid to retreat.
His Highness Prince Qi looked away from Ling Luo's retreating figure, then turned around and headed in the direction of Kunning Palace.
In the grand and luxurious hall of Kunning Palace, Queen Mu had a solemn look on her face, sitting on a row of exquisite soft chairs, absently sipping her tea.
"Mother, your name is Erchen?" Chen Moxuan casually sat down on a chair to the left of Queen Mu, picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth.
Queen Mu's face became more and more serious, and she said coldly: "What time has it been? Are you still in the mood to eat?"
Chen Moxuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down a purple grape in his hand, looked at the always gentle and docile queen mother, and said in surprise: "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy again?"
Queen Mu snorted coldly and said: "Today is my birthday, and your father actually followed Yu Ziyan to the palace to have fun as soon as the birthday banquet was over!"
"How could your father go so far?" Chen Moxuan was also quite surprised. His enchanting and narrow eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "If nothing else, at least today, my father and he should show off."
Queen Mu was very angry and said angrily: "If you continue to have fun like this, your father's body will collapse sooner or later. Yesterday, the Imperial Palace had privately asked the imperial doctor and said that your father is not far away from running out of oil.
.”
"What?" Chen Moxuan was shocked and stood up suddenly, "Mother, what do you mean..."
