"I am scared." Gao Hanqi lowered his head slightly and said, "I really don't dare to let the Queen worry about such a trivial matter."
"How can it be a trivial matter?" Si Ningchi curved her lips and smiled, the smile was so bright and dazzling, her phoenix eyes revealed a hint of unexplained joy, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I, I can
Prepare to celebrate King Jing."
"Does King Jing want to put out lanterns to pray first, or drink and have fun first?" Si Ningchi asked, tilting his head slightly.
"..."
Gao Hanqi's back felt cold. Although the emperor sitting beside him didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, Gao Hanqi could almost clearly feel that a vague gaze fell on him, and he raised his eyes slightly.
Then you can look into Zhao Zongheng's dark and gloomy eyes.
That look in his eyes seemed to have cut him into pieces.
Gao Hanqi had trouble saying it, but when he saw that the queen didn't seem to take the emperor seriously at all and was still "reminiscing about old friendships" with him, he was really at a loss.
"I dare not make the decision. Everything is at the discretion of the Emperor and the Queen." Gao Hanqi was tense and had to think carefully about every word he said.
"Listen to the Queen's wish, King Jing and the Queen have celebrated birthdays together and put up lanterns and prayed together in previous years?" Zhao Zongheng played with the wine glass in his hand, neither pouring nor eating, just holding the wine glass and looking up at King Jing with a calm expression.
, he clearly meant for the queen, but he asked Gao Hanqi.
"Back to the emperor, the birthday celebration was not specially arranged. It just happened that the elders of the two families mentioned it, and because the Xiwuhou Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion are close to each other, we got together to celebrate the birthday." Gao Hanqi lowered his head and racked his brains to excuse himself.
, resolutely maintain that his relationship with the Queen is pure and innocent, and there is absolutely no personal relationship at all.
"Prince Jing, there is no need to be so polite. There is no one else here today." The smile in Si Ningchi's eyes grew even bigger. He held up his chin and blinked at Gao Hanqi, saying: "In previous years, this palace put out lanterns to pray. This is what I prayed for.
Everything has to do with King Jing."
Zhao Zongheng: "..."
Gao Hanqi: "..."
He was cautious for a long time, and even said this carefully, this person is better, he can kill him with just one sentence.
Gao Hanqi quickly stood up, lifted his robe, knelt down, bowed his hands and said with great respect: "I was young and ignorant at the time, and did some wrong things that I shouldn't have done. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the Queen. Now I have grown up.
Everything about childhood is nothing, so please don’t worry about it, Queen.”
Gao Hanqi was telling Si Ningchi to stop mentioning the past. He meant to say that she was young and ignorant and didn't want to remember it again. At the same time, he was telling the emperor that she was ignorant back then and now that she is an adult, she clearly knows her status.
, I have no second thoughts about the queen.
Si Ningchi looked at Gao Hanqi's panic-stricken look and wished he could immediately cut off all ties with her. The smile on his lips became even wider, and his eyes flashed with playful joy. It was so interesting~
"So..." Si Ningchi fiddled with the lanterns on the table and said with a smile: "When King Jing originally talked about marrying the Si family's legitimate daughter, what did he want to marry...?"
"Empress!" Gao Han Qi An took a breath of cold air and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Si Ningchi. The look he looked at Si Ningchi seemed to ask her if she was crazy. How could she dare to say these words so harshly?
.
"Oh? Marry?" Zhao Zongheng paused while playing with the cup and slowly put the cup back on the table. The sound that was neither gentle nor heavy made the hearts of those who heard it tremble.
"Your Majesty, I..." Gao Hanqi knelt in front of the emperor and his heart sank. He waited for a long time before lowering his head and said: "The Queen has misunderstood. What I like most is Si Qionglian, the second daughter of the Si family, not...
”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have no wrong thoughts towards the Queen." Gao Hanqi said in a low voice with courage.
Si Ningchi couldn't help laughing when he saw Gao Hanqi finally mentioning this matter in front of the emperor.
It’s so fun.
I wonder what Si Yirong’s expression would be like if he knew about this?
Si Ningchi pretended to be surprised and said: "So that's the case. Is this the palace's fault?"
With a smile on his face, Si Ningchi turned his head to look at Gao Hanqi and said with a smile: "However, I didn't expect that King Jing was actually my sister Xinyue. Speaking of which, my step-sister has not yet
Marriage."
Si Ningchi paused and did not continue. Instead, he turned to look at Zhao Zongheng. With a smile on his lips, he said in a brisk and casual tone: "Your Majesty, today is the birthday of King Jing. Why don't you please do as you please?"
Can you understand King Jing’s wishes and let him get his wish and marry a new person?”
"I..." I wish I could have wished for it!
Before Zhao Zongheng could respond, Gao Hanqi looked nervous and said, "Your Majesty, you can't!"
Gao Hanqi hurriedly leaned over and kowtowed: "I don't want to force myself. If Qiong Lian doesn't want me, how can I force myself to do something difficult? This affection is just my wishful thinking..."
"As the King of Tianqing, are you not worthy of a stepmother?" Zhao Zongheng frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Why is she reluctant?"
"This, I think the love between a man and a woman is the most rare. If you use force to force it, you will never be happy for a long time." Gao Hanqi lowered his head and said seriously: "Please give me some time, please. If I understand that Miss Si has no intention, I will decide."
I won’t struggle with it.”
"Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I'll invite my sister to the palace tomorrow and ask her questions." Si Ningchi smiled and answered the words very smoothly.
"Very good." Zhao Zongheng raised his eyebrows in response.
"..."
Gao Hanqi no longer dared to refute the emperor and the empress, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Si Ningchi stroked his palms and smiled sweetly: "What a happy event. Your Majesty, shall we go and put down the lanterns?"
Zhao Zongheng was in a happy mood, and then he reached out and took Si Ningchi to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Gao Han Qi followed him in confusion. It was obviously his birthday gift, but he saw the emperor and empress holding hands and lighting lamps.
Exile.
"What wish did the queen write?" Zhao Zongheng stayed close to Si Ningchi, trying to see clearly what she wrote.
"You can't look at it. It won't be effective if you look at it." Si Ningchi ducked sideways.
"I am the emperor, others cannot see what I see." Zhao Zongheng refused to give in and insisted on staring until he saw Si Ningchi writing the words 'response to all requests'.
He was silent.
It is common to pray for nothing more than peace and good health, or for wealth and fame, but she...
Zhao Zongheng asked with some uncertainty: "Since prayers are granted, who does the queen ask for?"
Si Ningchi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Zongheng, then he wrote Zhao Zongheng's name with a pen.
"Is the emperor satisfied?" Si Ningchi put the lantern into the water with a smile, looked up at Zhao Zongheng and said: "If you are not satisfied, I will pick it up and change it?"
