But there has never been such a confrontation as today. Most of the time, the emperor is indifferent. No matter how noisy the queen mother is, the emperor always ignores her.
But today...
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, looking at how embarrassed the Queen Mother was after being taken off her phoenix crown.
If you disliked Queen Mother Cui, why did you pursue her as Queen Mother back then?
Over the years, the imperial censors often had disputes with the emperor over this matter. They simply believed that since the emperor respected her as the queen mother, she needed to observe the etiquette of filial piety.
Obviously the emperor did not listen, and even heard that an old censor was so angry that he vomited blood because of this matter. The emperor only tried his best to comfort the censor, but did not listen to the censor's words. The emperor was always very patient, and he
Always be patient and patient, and do your best to the people and ministers.
Even when it comes to administration, I often argue with courtiers, but I am never stubborn.
Only when it comes to private matters and family matters, he never compromises.
The emperor's heir loved his concubine so much, and so did his relationship with the queen mother.
Now that you have figured out the emperor's temper, you are so calm that no one can say anything more, but you don't want to encounter such a big drama tonight.
Queen Mother Cui was invited to leave. Everyone at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was not satisfied with the food. When the banquet was over, they were still wondering what the emperor meant by today's words.
"I'm full~" Si Ningchi was in a great mood. He patted his belly and looked at Zhao Zongheng with a smile and said, "Has the emperor eaten?"
"Are you full?" Zhao Zongheng moved his gaze, placed it on Siningchi's lower abdomen, stretched out his hand and touched it: "I'll touch it..."
Si Ningchi's face darkened, and he raised his hand and hit Zhao Zongheng on the back of his hand.
She glared at him and said, "Don't touch it, huh."
Zhao Zongheng retracted his hand, looked at the red mark on the back of his hand and lowered his eyes. He looked very hurt and whispered: "I protect you so much, but you don't appreciate me at all."
Si Ningchi looked sideways at Zhao Zongheng, always feeling that the way he was weakly covering the back of his hands looked like an aggrieved dog, and his whole ears were drooped.
"I don't dislike the emperor." Si Ningchi couldn't see this look the most. He moved his butt towards him, took the initiative to hold his hand, and said with a smile: "I, the emperor, will you take the emperor to play?"
?"
"Play?"
Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes slightly cautiously and looked at Si Ningchi. At this moment, all he recalled in his mind was her, how she punished the palace maids for teasing the queen mother, and seemed to enjoy the fun endlessly.
The queen will not...
Are you planning to attack him?
Zhao Zongheng's back was tense, and he looked at Si Ningchi who seemed to be struggling. Finally, he closed his eyes and gave in. He bent down and leaned into Si Ningchi's ear and said, "Can I play with the queen in private?"
It was such a simple sentence, but when he lowered his voice and whispered it into her ear, it inexplicably became more ambiguous and made people think about it?
Si Ningchi raised his eyes and met Zhao Zongheng's serious eyes with a little excitement and perhaps a little bit of novelty in his eyes.
Si Ningchi: "..."
She seems to have changed color!
"You, you can eat yours!" Si Ningchi raised his hand to pick up the pastries on the table, stuffed them into Zhao Zongheng's mouth, and stood up in a hurry: "I am tired, let's go back and rest!
”
"..."
Zhao Zongheng was stuffed with pastry. He turned to look at Si Ningchi running away and raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of smile in his eyes, and the ends of his eyes seemed to become gentle.
Si Ningchi originally planned to go back to Fengwu Palace, but he saw the man and woman standing opposite each other on the nine-curved corridor on the way. They were none other than Si Qionglian and Saint King Zhao Yuanzhen.
"What is the purpose of your repeated approaches?" Zhao Yuanzhen, wearing a silver mask and casually dressed, did not appear in the banquet hall, but he actually appeared here?
"Why is the Holy King so obsessed with my purpose? Do I have to have a purpose to get close to you?" Si Qionglian seemed a little sad, slightly pursed his lips and looked up at Zhao Yuanzhen and said: "Why can't we treat each other sincerely?
, attracted by you?"
"How much do you believe what Miss Si said?" There was a hint of ridicule in Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes, his eyes drifted away from her face, and he lowered his eyes lightly and said: "I don't like to interact with others, and I don't want any beauty.
Confidant, Miss Si had better stay away from me."
"If you want to use my power to help the Si family reach a high position, you are looking for the wrong person."
There was a hint of coldness in Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes, and he said in a stiff tone: "Why don't we learn from your sister-in-law, and we may have more chances to become a concubine in the palace."
Si Qionglian listened to Zhao Yuanzhen's words and said as if he couldn't believe it: "Why did the Holy King say something so unpleasant! Well, I don't know people well, I thought..."
Si Qionglian's eyes were filled with tears, and he bit his lip as if he was humiliated and turned away.
Zhao Yuanzhen: "..."
I don’t quite understand. He intended to praise the queen for winning the emperor’s favor after entering the palace, but how could it become a humiliating statement?
"Holy King, do you want your subordinates to keep an eye on her?" A guard in black walked out of the darkness behind him, glanced at the direction Si Qionglian left, and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Zhao Yuanzhen responded and raised his eyes: "By the way, I'm staring at King Jing. I don't know what these two families are planning."
"Yes, I understand." The guard in black responded in a low voice.
Si Ningchi strolled towards the Jiuqu Corridor and saw the retreating guard, with a smile on his lips and a thought-provoking look in his eyes.
When Zhao Yuanzhen saw Si Ningchi approaching, he didn't show any strange expression. He slightly raised his head and said, "I've seen the Queen. The palace banquet has not yet dispersed. How come the Queen is here alone?"
Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Yuanzhen, raised his lips and smiled: "Uncle Huang is really incomprehensible, I have seen it."
"My step-sister is so delicate and lovely. I feel sorry for her. Why doesn't the emperor look at her?" Si Ningchi's eyes fell on Zhao Yuanzhen's face and he said with pity: "
I have pity on my step-sister for her good intentions~"
"I don't understand what the queen means by this." Zhao Yuanzhen looked a little strange.
"As expected of uncle and nephew, they are both so stupid." Si Ningchi snorted twice, stepped closer to Zhao Yuanzhen, blinked his eyes and looked at him with a smile and said: "I, my wife,
What my stepsister wants is none other than you, my uncle."
"If you can sleep with the emperor's uncle, who else in the Si family would dare to bully you?"
"..."
Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes tightened, and his face darkened as he looked at Si Ningchi who was approaching.
Knowing that she said such words on purpose, she couldn't help but think of Si Qionglian approaching her to perform a series of operations, and she suddenly felt enlightened.
Was this the plan?
Zhao Yuanzhen was a little puzzled. He didn't often appear in front of people, and Si Qionglian was new to Beijing. How did he know his identity?
