Chapter 22: A Small Family Feast

Ming Xiaozong entertained his two sons in the palace of King Qin.

There are five dining tables in the hall. On the top sat Ming Xiaozong, on the left hand side were Emperor Li Guifei and Prince Zhu Qi, and on the right hand side were Zhang Xianfei and Sheng Wang Ye Zhu Qi.

Imperial Concubine Li could also feel Concubine Zhang Xian's flattering face through the corner of her eyes.

Concubine Zhang Xian's attention was focused on Ming Xiaozong's wine glass.

As long as the wine glass was empty, she quickly got up and went over to take the wine jug in the palace maid's hand and pour the wine herself.

And Zhu Xia cooperated, looking at his father intently.

When Ming Xiaozong's finger leaned against the wine glass, he immediately raised his glass in salute.

Compared with Zhu Qi, Zhu Qi is like wood.

He sat there, not speaking or drinking. No wonder his father doesn't like him.

He doesn't know how to act on opportunities, and he doesn't have the slightest bit of his brother's wit to please people.

The more Concubine Zhang Xian laughed and laughed with Ming Xiaozong, the more disgusting Concubine Li felt.

If the emperor knew about his son's stupid thing, would he still be able to laugh?

"Your Majesty, the newly selected 50 palace maids have been trained for a period of time and are about to be assigned. When do you see it coming to the Uchishoji to see it in person? Imperial Concubine Li asked diligently.

In order to bring the topic to what she wanted to mention, she did not hesitate to offer beautiful women.

"Really? I almost forgot about it. "Ming Xiaozong is already a little drunk.

He loves young beauties. The years are not forgiving, and rejoicing with young beauties can allow you to experience the vitality of youthful blooming.

The people below knew about his habit, and they kept paying tribute to him according to his wishes, so that the number of palace maids has reached the largest number ever.

"But one of the palace maids violated the palace rules because of stealing, and was assigned to the Huanyi Bureau to change his life-" Emperor Li Guifei turned to the topic.

She glanced at Concubine Zhang Xian, and a nervous look appeared on Concubine Zhang Xian's face.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Zhang Xian interrupted Emperor Li's words, left her seat and knelt on the ground, crying and begging in a desolate voice: "The concubine deserves death, and he didn't discipline his wanderer, so he got into a big disaster." The crime of asking the emperor to treat the concubines is that the concubines are not strictly disciplined, and they are still young and ignorant-"

Ming Xiaozong's second uncle was puzzled, put down the wine glass unhappily, and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" What a good cry! ”

"Lord Sheng, he's a big rebel!" Imperial Concubine Li looked at Concubine Zhang Xian, who was acting coyly on the ground, and said through gritted teeth.

This hateful Concubine Zhang Xian is acting again! She really wanted to shred her if she could.

Zhu Qi looked at Zhu Qi and thought to himself, how could this Xia Cicada be so good at causing trouble and messing with his younger brother again.

I have long heard that his younger brother has never been interested in women, and he belongs to Ma Bao Nan, and Xia Chan can provoke him in the Huanyi Bureau outside the palace, which shows how capable he is.

"Didn't let you say it. Zhu Xuan, you say it yourself! Ming Xiaozong glared at Zhu Xiao angrily.

Zhu Luo knelt down, his fear had passed, and he had already thought of his words: "Father, Erchen was rescued by a new palace maid Xia Chan, if there was no Xia Chan, Erchen would have died in the lake." She was sent to the Huanyi Bureau to serve hard labor, and was almost killed, and the sons were indignant and took her back to their palace to ask the imperial doctor for treatment, and if they didn't save her, they would die! ”

"Bastard, I treat the palace rules as if I am nothing! I've looked into it. Who harmed her? It was she who was lazy and didn't work to be beaten! Emperor Li scolded loudly.

Zhu Qi glanced at his mother concubine dissatisfied, he had always been dissatisfied with his mother's treatment of his subordinates.

"Father, the son didn't talk nonsense, someone deliberately let a snake bite her, and there is a diagnosis from the imperial doctor as proof!" Zhu Luo argued with reason.
