"I have been busy with government affairs recently and have not been able to spend time with the queen." Zhao Zongheng raised his head and said, "Looking for an opportunity, when the red plum blossoms bloom in the palace, I will take the queen to enjoy the plum blossoms."
"Hey!" Wang Chengxiang immediately agreed with a smile. The emperor's meaning was to let him stare at some red plums that have not yet bloomed in the palace's plum garden, and tell the emperor if they are about to bloom.
Zhao Zongheng had a good appetite and finished almost all the meals prepared by the queen before walking out of the palace very satisfied.
Then I saw Si Ningchi sitting in the sun, squinting and picking flowers.
This plum blossom was sent by Wei Fangruo, who was holding a flower branch and showing it to the Queen: "What do you think of this plum blossom?"
"Just reward it for two or three days, keep it." Si Ningchi blinked slightly and said.
"If the empress likes it, how about I use this plum blossom to make a plum blossom hairpin for the empress?" Wei Fangruo held the flower branch in her hand and looked at Si Ningchi with a smile.
"Okay." Si Ningchi raised his lips and said with a smile: "You are clever, I will wear this plum blossom hairpin during the New Year."
Wei Fangruo was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly agreed, saying that he would draw up a drawing as soon as possible and show it to the empress. As he was talking, Zhao Zongheng came over. Wei Fangruo lowered his head and stepped back, bowed and bowed: "Slave, please see the emperor."
Zhao Zongheng walked over to Si Ningchi and sat down next to him. He glanced at Wei Fangruo and raised his hand.
Wei Fangruo looked a little nervous. She lowered her head and did not dare to raise it. She was afraid that the emperor would see her and think of her private exchanges with foreign ministers. It would be the end of the day to punish her by settling old scores.
"If the Queen is fine, then I will leave first." Wei Fangruo said cautiously.
"Go ahead." Si Ningchi waved his hand and asked Wei Fangruo to go down.
Zhao Zongheng picked up the tea cup on the small table and took a sip. Looking at Wei Fangruo's leaving figure, he turned around and said, "The slaves from the Treasure Bureau are really interested in you."
Si Ningchi turned to look at Zhao Zongheng and said with a smile: "That's natural. Who made me so beautiful? Only me can wear the jewelry from the Treasure Bureau~"
Zhao Zongheng looked at Si Ningchi's natural appearance and couldn't help but curl his lips and laugh. It was obvious that the Treasure Bureau was run by someone under the Queen's command, but she seemed to mean something else when she said it. "Has the emperor rested enough?" Si Ning raised his head slightly and looked at Zhao Zongheng.
"Yes." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and reached out to hold her hand and whispered: "Tell me about the kidnapping of the little princess, and King Lu will have to give an explanation."
"What kind of words does the emperor want to hear?" Si Ningchi asked with a raised lip and a smile.
"Just tell the truth. I have my own arrangements on how to deal with it." Zhao Zongheng paused and continued: "I won't embarrass you."
Si Ningchi showed a smile, she really liked Zhao Zongheng's serious look~
When you are an emperor, you still have a decent look!
Si Ningchi did not hide anything from Zhao Zongheng and told the whole story. After Si Ningchi explained clearly, he saw that Zhao Zongheng's face was gloomy and extremely ugly. He seemed to have never thought that Fang Zhiyao was kidnapped by another boudoir.
for.
As women, how could we not know how terrible it is to be insulted and lose one's innocence?
How dare she!
"How does the emperor plan to respond?" Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng and asked.
"If what you said is true, I have no intention of getting involved in this matter." Zhao Zongheng took a sip of tea and said, "Let the emperor handle it."
"Your Majesty is so wise~" Si Ningchi was overjoyed. The man she fell in love with was so lovable~
Zhao Zongheng stretched out his hand and pinched her face and said: "Please stay well. I may be a little busy these days. If I can't come to see you, don't forget me."
His original intention was just to give it a squeeze, but when he did it he felt it was not enough. He couldn't help but pull Si Ningchi over for a kiss. He didn't know what was wrong. He didn't want to deal with government affairs so much. If he could be with her every day,
It’ll be just fine.
Zhao Zongheng sighed deeply, stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
"Farewell to the Emperor." Si Ningchi stood up with a smile and said, "I will go to see the Emperor."
"You'd better know."
"..."
After that, it is not known how Zhao Zongheng dealt with King Lu's Si Ningchi. We only know that Si Yirong was called into the palace, received a punishment, and was heard to be beaten with thirty sticks before being carried out of the palace in the first half of the New Year.
I haven’t been able to go to court for months.
People outside didn't know what Xiwu Hou had done to anger Shengyan, but Si Ningchi was extremely happy.
I wonder if Si Yirong still loves his sweet and sensible baby daughter?
Although the little princess's encounter with such things caused quite a shock, at least nothing major happened. The New Year came as promised. This was the first New Year's Eve that Si Ningchi and Zhao Zongheng had spent. It was not a happy one at all.
Things.
Following the rules, accepting congratulations from ministers, and delivering royal dishes according to specifications, these processes are enough to wear down Si Ningchi's patience.
As a queen, she not only has to accompany the emperor to receive congratulations, but she also has to give regular rewards to the concubines.
The New Year's Eve banquet was quite lively, but Empress Dowager Cui came out and danced around again without giving up. Si Ningchi was already used to it.
At the annual banquet, there was singing and dancing, and everyone toasted to celebrate.
Seeing that the banquet had reached its climax, King Lu finally talked to the emperor about whether the Holy King had ever been married. This caused the banquet to fall into a bit of silence.
"I have no intention of getting married yet." Zhao Yuanzhen looked indifferent and was not surprised at all when King Lu talked about this matter. He turned slightly to look at Zhao Zongheng who was sitting on the high throne and said: "The emperor has no heir.
Why am I so anxious to get a wife?"
"Haha..." King Lu laughed twice and said: "The relationship between the Holy King and the Emperor's uncle and nephew is so close, it is really enviable."
"If you are not in a hurry to get a wife, it would be a good idea to just settle down on the marriage." King Lu smiled and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen and said, "Is it possible that no woman has caught the eye of the Holy King on this day?"<
/p>
Zhao Yuanzhen looked at King Lu and lowered his head and smiled and said: "What King Lu said is true. I was busy with you and never paid attention to it before. I will pay more attention to it in the future."
Zhao Yuanzhen's words obviously meant that he was relieved. King Lu was overjoyed when he heard this. He was about to say something but was stopped by Zhao Zongheng: "Today is the annual banquet. It's rare to get together in one place, so don't talk about your own family affairs.
."
Zhao Zongheng turned to look at King Lu with a smile and said: "There will be many opportunities in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes." King Lu laughed and responded repeatedly. He stopped talking about the marriage and started talking about some interesting things in the fiefdom.
Fang Zhiyao certainly understands what her father means. She has heard from her father since she was a child that she will marry into the capital and into the palace.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, but the Holy King doesn't seem to like it?
After drinking for a while, some people gradually left the table and went outside to get some fresh air. Fang Zhiyao saw Zhao Yuanzhen getting up and going out, so she followed him out.
