Chapter 961: The Little Queen Allures the Country and the City (8)
The fourth concubine led the female dependents into the Yufang Garden.
This is the theater troupe of the Imperial Palace, where the afternoon of the first day of the Hundred Dynasties Festival is spent every year.
The civil and military officials had already sat down in turn according to their positions.
As a king with a different surname, Meng Jinxiao sat in the position closest to the emperor.
After he sat down, he looked up slightly and could see the empty dragon chair and phoenix chair.
In previous years, it was the dog emperor who sat on the dragon chair.
As for the phoenix chair that has been vacant there, Meng Jinxiao has never seen anyone sit on it since he can remember.
Fang Ting's words suddenly came to mind.
The Dog Emperor married a new little queen......
The thought only flashed through him, and he didn't think about it.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
"The queen has arrived—"
A shrill voice came, and all the servants and palace maids knelt on their knees.
The civil and military officials got up from their seats one after another, knelt on the ground and saluted.
Among these people, only Meng Jinxiao is particularly conspicuous.
He sat down in his seat, without the slightest intention of getting up and saluting.
Meng Jinxiao has the holy decree of the previous emperor and can dispense with all salutes.
This made the emperor's angry teeth itch, but he was helpless.
Meng Jinxiao held his chin, played with the delicate wine glass in one hand, and looked at the entrance, his whole person looked very lazy, and his dark eyes couldn't see anything.
The first to come in was the emperor who wore a bright yellow dragon robe and a nine-crowned crown.
The twelve before and after drooped down, and the Son of Heaven was calm and dignified.
The corners of Meng Jinxiao's lips hooked up with a cold arc.
He moved his gaze slightly, and he saw the little queen who was in Fang Ting's mouth.
Bang Bang –
The glass fell out of his hand and landed directly on the carpeted floor.
The sound is not loud, but it stands out in this solemn and silent environment.
Many officials secretly glanced sideways, only to see that this Xiaonan King, who had never been in shape, sat up straight.
His gaze was fixed, as if he was looking in the direction the emperor was coming from.
The ministers did not dare to look up, so they had to withdraw their gaze in confusion.
—
Banjiu came in together as an empress standing beside the emperor.
She was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, and on her head was a heavy phoenix crown.
The face is a delicate and dignified makeup.
Even without these makeup, the faint elegance of those cold eyes is enough to make everyone afraid to approach.
"Excuse me, Zhong Aiqing get up." The Emperor spoke.
"Today's Flower Dynasty Festival, Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be too formal."
After he finished speaking, he went to the dragon chair, and walked with him for a long time.
This process inevitably has to go through Meng Jinxiao's side.
Meng Jinxiao looked at her with heavy eyes.
When Banjiu's gaze swept over him, the two of them made very brief eye contact.
Finally, he sat on the phoenix chair that no one sat on for a long time.
Meng Jinxiao lowered his eyes slightly.
The chief eunuch held two stacks of booklets, bent down respectfully, and held the booklets in front of Banjiu and the emperor.
According to the rules, it should have been the Queen Mother who took the lead, but the Queen Mother was getting worse and worse year by year because of the pain of losing her daughter.
This kind of crowded occasion will have a headache after staying for a long time, so I didn't come.
The emperor picked up a book and flipped through it one by one, clicked it, and put it back.
Banjiu picked up another one and ordered one casually.
A booklet like this is sung at this time, and it is auspicious, even if you close your eyes, there will be no mistakes.
The booklet was put back, and the chief eunuch took a few steps and arrived in front of Meng Jinxiao.
Meng Jinxiao picked up a copy casually, and it happened to be put down for half a long time.
He seemed to order one at random, but it was just below the one that he had ordered for half a long time.
Putting the booklet back, his eyes lifted slightly, and he inadvertently swept over half a long time.
The little girl who had just arrived was wearing a dignified and solemn phoenix robe.
There was no expression on his face, and there was no trace of joy or sorrow.
The wine glass that fell on the ground had already been cleaned up by the eunuch, and what he was holding in his hand was the newly delivered wine glass from the eunuch.
His fingertips couldn't help but rub a little bit, and Meng Jinxiao forced himself to withdraw his gaze.
He doesn't like restraint, and he doesn't like to stay in the capital.
The border is his territory.
The little girl has already married, married to this Ninety-Five Supreme, and has become the most noble woman in the world.
So he couldn't think about it anymore.
Meng Jinxiao told himself in his heart like this, but his heart was still sullen and uncomfortable.
He wants to do something to completely change all this, but the other side is suppressing himself.
In the end, Meng Jinxiao, who was full of irritability, took a sip of wine.
Fang Ting, who was sitting not far away, looked at it, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.
There were two flashes in my brain.
After estimating all possibilities, Fang Ting stroked his head helplessly.
There's nothing he can do!
Meng Jinxiao took a sip of wine, and after a while, his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a shallow mist.
It's hazy, and some can't really see it.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for several years."
The emperor's voice came, and Meng Jinxiao looked up slightly.
His eyes seemed to be looking at the emperor, but in fact, he only saw the girl in a phoenix robe.
"Why should I see you?"
After looking at the girl for a while.
Only then did Meng Jinxiao turn his attention to the emperor.
There seemed to be some disgust in his tone.
"Today, I really know how to laugh." The emperor's face sank a little, but he still smiled.
But all normal people know that the emperor is a little unhappy.
But Meng Jinxiao, who was already slightly drunk, couldn't manage it so much.
"I'm not a joker."
As he spoke, his gaze narrowed again to the girl.
This time it happened to be in line with the man's eyes.
Meng Jinxiao was slightly stunned and immediately lowered his head.
His brain was groggy, and he didn't know why he was doing it.
obviously wanted to walk over, pull the man away directly, and pull away from this place that he didn't like.
But what little sanity he had stopped him, and doing so would hurt her.
This bit of reason, just one sentence over and over again, made him dare not look at it more.
Feeling upset, Meng Jinxiao poured another sip of wine.
The emperor was displeased to be treated like this, but he thought that today was the Hundred Dynasties Festival.
If it is a scandal because of a Meng Jinxiao, it is not worth it.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze, with a coldness in his eyes.
Wait for the Hundred Dynasties Festival to pass, and then slowly clean up this Meng Jinxiao.
Suddenly there was a sound from the concubine's seat.
The movement was a bit loud, and the actors on the stage were still babbling and singing.
The civil and military officials and their families looked over.
The emperor frowned, very displeased.
After he looked over, he only saw Fu Xia sitting on the ground in embarrassment.
There was a thick velvet blanket on the ground, and Fu Xia was sitting there, a small piece of the light green palace dress was wet, and the velvet blanket on the ground was also wet.
The rank that can come to participate in the Hundred Dynasty Festival is at least above the nobles.
In such a situation, none of the concubines were willing to stand up and help Fu Xia.
There are even a few, and there is a little schadenfreude in their eyes.
"What's going on?" The Emperor spoke, with a thin anger in his voice.
