Chapter 99: Poke her with a soft knife
The dinner was set at Qianyuan Palace, Zhao Huangge went late, and when he arrived, it was already dark.
Before entering the temple, I could hear a peaceful bustle inside.
She stood in the doorway for a while, then gathered up her emotions and walked in.
There are not many people in the palace, except for the emperor and queen, there are several high-ranking concubines, including juniors, there are less than ten people.
The Queen Mother is not there.
Originally, the two of them were not very harmonious, but today is Zhao Huangge's birthday, and the Queen Mother was too lazy to give her this face, so she simply didn't come over and let people send the gift to Qiwu Palace in advance.
Zhao Huangge is now in the East Palace, and he hasn't gone back to see the gifts, but when he listened to Mianwu, it was a bracelet.
Being able to give a gift that is not heartfelt, instead of sending something terrible, Zhao Huangge already feels that it is beyond her expectations.
Now that the Queen Mother is not there, she is in a much better mood.
Especially, as soon as he saw Concubine Jin in the corner, Zhao Huangge's smile became more and more sincere.
Concubine Jin was holding a little girl in her arms, and she was biting on a snack and eating it obediently.
That's the princess Mingrou who can walk.
Seeing that she had been brought over, Zhao Huangge squinted and smiled, and saluted while entering the hall.
At this time, Zhao Qinian was talking to the emperor, and he didn't know what he said, which caused the emperor to praise with a smile: "Although the explanation is not complete, it is rare that you can write down the main points." It's just that you need to guard against arrogance and rashness, and you can't play with it. β
After receiving the emperor's praise, Zhao Qinian was immediately grateful.
Although Zhao Huangge didn't hear what he said before, he only heard what the emperor said, and it turned out that he was taking Zhao Qinian's homework.
She thought to herself, but her face was as calm as ever: "Say hello to the imperial brother." β
After coming back for so long, goodbye to Zhao Qinian, Zhao Huangge was much calmer.
At least, the first instinct is not to strangle this little bastard.
Zhao Huangge only asked the emperor and queen to say goodbye, and as for the others, they got up to greet her.
When the emperor saw her coming, he smiled and told her to get up, and said, "Take a seat quickly, you don't need to be polite." β
Zhao Huangge responded, and saw Zhao Qinian's smile that had changed his attitude, and he stepped forward quite reservedly: "My nephew knocks on my little aunt." β
There was some caution in his expression, and at first glance, he seemed to be afraid and respectful of her.
Zhao Huangge raised his eyebrows and unconsciously pinched his palm.
Sure enough, the calm was fake.
As soon as he spoke, Zhao Huangge's smile became a little cold.
In her previous life, she always felt that this child was gentle but too timid, but later it was the knife behind his twitching mask that was aimed at her.
Looking at Zhao Qinian's appearance now, the gentle disguise is too obvious, revealing the careful thoughts inside.
Zhao Huangge's smile became more and more alienated: "The four princes are exempt from courtesy." β
She deliberately distanced herself from Zhao Qinian, the emperor's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and then smiled connivingly: "Why did this leather boy provoke you, say it, I will teach him a lesson for you." β
Speaking of which, Zhao Qinian is still a generation younger than her, so as soon as he said this, some concubines laughed softly.
The queen on the side looked as usual, but there was more thorns in her voice: "I am used to praying for the New Year, I want to be naughty in front of Heyang, pray for the New Year, quickly admit your mistake to your little aunt, today is her birthday, the birthday star is the biggest, if she is not happy, the queen mother will not spare you." β
The gentleness of these words also made Zhao Huangge's heart recognise the success.
The emperor was joking, but the queen was obviously poking her with a soft knife.
Let the junior apologize to him, and she has to say it, isn't this disgusting to her?
She didn't smile: "It's rare for the courtiers to want to abide by the rules and know the proportions, but the royal brother will use the child to shame me first." The four princes are good everywhere, but they are also big children, and they can no longer mess around with him like before, and spread it out, for fear of making people laugh. β
The emperor was only in the middle and the mud: "He is your nephew, you taught him that it should be, how can it be called nonsense." Besides, when you were a child, you used to take him to play, and now you naturally do what you want. β
Hearing this, Zhao Huangge pursed his lips, and chuckled: "This is a good thing to say, but it's a pity that Qi Nian is a boy, if he is a princess, his sister will definitely take him to play with him every day, but now it is not possible." β
As she spoke, she glanced at the queen with a smile.
The queen's face froze, and she paused, then changed the topic with a gentle smile: "Okay, what are you still standing for, come and take a seat, today is a family banquet, and it is all our own family." β
It is likely that she and Zhao Huangge are born at a disagreement, so every time they meet, there is nothing good to say.
The queen grinded her teeth secretly, and maintained her dignity on the bottom.
The emperor also waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't be stunned, come and sit next to me." β
He has always been partial to Zhao Huangge, this is something that everyone knows, so the other concubines made room for Zhao Huangge earlier.
Zhao Huangge was about to sit, but he might as well face a pair of dark eyes.
The little girl is only a little over a year old, and she can't speak, her face is pink, like a doll, both beautiful and spiritual.
Seeing Zhao Huangge looking back at herself at this time, she instantly grinned.
Zhao Huangge paused, squinted and walked towards Mingrou.
"No, the royal brother is not popular today, and the courtier sister wants to sit next to Mingrou."
She sat down next to Concubine Jin, grabbed Mingrou's hand again, and teased her with a chuckle: "Mingrou, is it okay for my little aunt to sit next to you." β
Princess Mingrou had just wobbled along, but her words were neat, and her voice was soft and milky: "Good! β
Because she is not very familiar with Zhao Huangge, her voice is also a little small, but Zhao Huangge heard it well next to her, and reached out to hug her with a smile.
Concubine Jin was a little worried, and laughed softly: "Princess, don't hug her, she is heavy now." β
As soon as she said this, she saw that Mingrou stopped eating biscuits first, and her head shook like a rattle: "Mingrou is not fat, not fat!" β
Her eyes seemed to be inlaid with black gems, and she looked at people intently when she spoke, and her lovely heart was about to melt.
Zhao Huangge couldn't help laughing, hugged the person directly, kissed her on the cheek with a smile, and said softly: "Our Mingrou is the most beautiful little girl." β
The white chubby little milk baby got the compliment, tilted her head to look at Zhao Huangge, and returned the compliment to her very generously: "My aunt is also good-looking." β
The two naΓ―ve ghosts touted each other, and they were very happy with each other.
The queen's face turned a little colder.
first distanced himself from Zhao Qinian, and then deliberately loved Princess Mingrou in front of her, isn't this a slap in the face.
The queen weighed a few points in her heart, and in the end, for the sake of Mingrou is princess, she suppressed the anger.
Fortunately, Mingrou is a princess, otherwise......
The queen lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes.
The emperor glanced at Zhao Huangge, who was playing very happily with Ming Rou, and then didn't say anything to let her sit over, but smiled: "Let's start the table." β
At this banquet, Zhao Huangge ate quite well at first.
Although it was a family banquet, because the emperor was there, the concubines present were all competing and trying to make the emperor pay attention to themselves.
As for the queen, she had to make a dignified gesture and suppress those concubines, but she didn't say a few words to Zhao Huangge.
She held Mingrou in her arms, chatted quietly with Concubine Jin while eating, and ate very happily.
In the second half, Mingrou couldn't bear it and fell asleep in her arms.
Little by little, the little girl's head looked like it was about to fall on the table at any moment.
Zhao Huangge asked Concubine Jin's opinion, then handed the person over to the grandmother, and they took her down to sleep.
Who knew that as soon as Mingrou left, Zhao Qinian rubbed to her side one after another.
"Little aunt, I want to sit with you in the New Year."
The pitiful look in his expression was just looked at by the emperor.
The emperor was talking to the concubines on the side, and said casually when he saw this: "If you want to sit, you can sit, your little aunt doesn't eat people, what are you afraid of?" β
He deliberately wanted Zhao Qinian and Zhao Huangge to get along, so he naturally spared no effort to let them have more contact.
Although Zhao Huangge responded in his heart, he did not refute the emperor's kindness, and forced a smile, but his face was a little lighter.
Until now, she is not ready to have nothing to do with Zhao Qinian.
After all......
She didn't find out who poisoned her until she died, but she has always been on guard against outsiders, and among the few people she won't be guarded against, there is Zhao Qinian.
What's more, later he almost wished she had died sooner.
Sitting next to Zhao Huangge, Zhao Qinian's body was straight, and his expression was a little nervous.
Seeing Zhao Huangge eating vegetables by himself, he opened his mouth with a red face, and it took a long time before he hummed and chirped: "Little aunt, pray for you to serve vegetables, right?" β
The boy's voice was immature and flattering, Zhao Huangge's hand squeezing the chopsticks tightened, and then he said softly: "No need, you are the prince, these things should not be done by you." β
As she spoke, she instructed the grandmother behind her, "Give the fourth prince a dish." β
was rejected one after another, Zhao Qinian's face was also a little unbearable, and he said in a sullen voice: "Thank you, little aunt." β
After saying this, he lowered his head and ate the food, but he was unhappy in his expression.
Even under the queen's dignified skin, there is some dissatisfaction.
She tried her best to maintain her gentleness: "After today, we Heyang are also big girls." This palace toasts you with a cup, and I wish you to have a present day every year, and a year to this day. β
Hearing this, Zhao Huangge smiled and drank a glass of wine with her.
With her beginning, the other concubines also coaxed her to respect her, and those words were beautiful one by one.
It's a pity that the eyes are all half-hidden and half-hidden, half looking at her, half peeking at the emperor.
Zhao Huangge saw it sincerely, but he didn't care, and after knowing that there was fruit wine on the table, he became more and more casual.
She was used to drinking spirits in her previous life, and suddenly drank this fruit wine that was no different from fruit tea, although she was a little dissatisfied, she didn't ask anyone to change it - after all, the imperial brother was still there.
