Emperor Chengqi also hurriedly followed over and held the arm of the Queen Mother, and said a little puzzled: "Didn't the Queen Mother say that she was unwell and couldn't come?" ”

The Queen Mother glared at him and said a little unhappily: "Is it because an old woman from the mourning family has disturbed your Yaxing?" ”

Emperor Chengqi knew that he was not speaking properly, so he immediately flattered him: "If you know that the queen mother is coming, this troupe will not be invited, so as not to disturb you." The Queen Mother just said casually, she also just received the sachet from Concubine Liu, so she heard that Chu Zijin was invited to the palace, and knew that Emperor Chengqi couldn't pass the pass of Concubine Sun, so she rushed to take a look.

With her in her, she wanted to see what else these juniors could make, thinking of this, the queen mother turned her head to look at the end of the crowd, and Chu Zijin and Yun Wanji were caught by her, and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

The Queen Mother sneered, and let Emperor Chengqi help her to the right position, and the drama on the stage is not singing, nor is it not singing, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand and waved at the people on the stage, "Keep singing, I love to listen to the old woman." ”

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the venue eased a lot, and the stage was babbling and singing, and there were already palace maids serving food one after another.

Empress Li was also not interested in the banquet, and explained a few sentences to the prince early, so she went back to rest under the pretext of being dizzy after blowing the wind, and Emperor Chengqi did not object, and he saw Empress Li's stubbornness in his eyes, but he didn't mention it.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere that was originally a little restrained gradually relaxed a lot, Emperor Chengqi's body is now not as good as a day, and this wine is a little too strong to drink after three rounds, the Queen Mother is more and more energetic the more she listens to this play, thinking that with the Queen Mother here, there should be no chaos.

Emperor Chengqi also wanted to follow Empress Li and escaped.

"The queen mother, the son is unwell, so he will take the first step."

The drama on the stage was singing wonderfully, the queen mother didn't turn her head, just waved her hand and asked him to hurry up and don't disturb himself to listen to the play, Emperor Chengqi smiled bitterly, and then continued to be the power of Sun Concubine and wanted to get up, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Liu This is the operation of this banquet, naturally she can't retreat easily, so Concubine He wants to compete with Sun Concubine, but unfortunately she didn't grab it.

Before leaving, Sun Concubine glanced at Chu Zijin who was sitting at the end of the crowd worriedly, and originally asked him to behave in front of Emperor Chengqi, but who knew that before he arrived at the stall for New Year's greetings, Emperor Chengqi was about to leave, and he was not even willing to look at Chu Zijin once.

The two of them left the banquet, and Emperor Chengqi stood still, "Doesn't Concubine Ai want to see Zijin?" ”

Concubine Sun looked at him with some embarrassment, "The emperor is unwell, and the concubine, as a concubine, should take care of the emperor as her own responsibility." ”

Emperor Chengqi nodded with satisfaction, "Then call someone to call him in a while." Concubine Sun looked at him with joy, it turned out that she didn't see him, but she wanted to see him in private? It was much better than she expected.

As soon as the emperor left, the banquet became more relaxed for a long time, knowing that Chu Zijin was very disappointed and lowered his head, he originally wanted to show himself in front of Emperor Chengqi when he entered the palace, but now he didn't even have time to pay New Year's greetings, and he didn't have a chance to come, but soon a palace maid quietly found him.

Hearing that Emperor Chengqi was going to see him in private, Chu Zijin was overjoyed, fortunately, there was no one in this banquet hall to think of him, although so, it was better to be cautious, he left Yun Wankey on the venue under the pretext of going to the thatched house, Yun Wankey did not suspect her, but looked at Yun Jinglan in the distance with cold eyes, and now she flew on the branch and became a phoenix.

But he was trampled to the dust, how could Yun Wanji not hate.

Chu Zijin, who avoided everyone's sight, quietly slipped to Yonghe Palace, Emperor Chengqi was originally in disguise, but now that there is no one, the tiredness on his face is revealed, and now the palace is above the banquet, but it is extremely quiet here.

Emperor Chengqi was lying on the soft collapse, Sun Concubine sat at the end, his head rested on her legs, Sun Concubine meekly massaged his temples, Chu Zijin came in by Xiao Ju to pass the word, Emperor Chengqi did not move, and Sun Concubine naturally did not let go.

Chu Zijin, who took a few deep breaths outside the hall to calm himself down, walked in slowly, and when he saw the two of them, he also knelt on the ground and saluted without humility or arrogance, "The grass people have seen the emperor, Sun Concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Sun snorted cooperatively, and Emperor Chengqi turned over and sat up, "Why are you crying again?" She wiped her dry eyes and showed a smile of relief: "The concubine is happy." Saying that, she stretched out her hand to Chu Zijin, "Zijin come to Weiniang's side, let Weiniang take a look at you." ”

Chu Zijin was a little hesitant and didn't dare to step forward, but Emperor Chengqi glanced at him lightly: "Since your mother wants to see you, just get closer." ”

After getting his amnesty, Chu Zijin stepped forward, and Concubine Sun was very excited to reach out and pat him on the shoulder and arm, "Child, why are you so thin now?" Didn't you eat well? ”

Emperor Chengqi frowned and looked at him, Chu Zijin had indeed lost a lot of weight, and he could see it at a glance, it was not a polite remark, although he was abolished now, he was not so poor that he couldn't eat well and couldn't warm it, even if he was participating in the palace banquet, what was the matter with the coarse linen clothes he was wearing.

"Have you been struggling lately?" His son, even if he wasn't a prince, wouldn't be able to live such a poor life.

Chu Zijin waved his hand again and again, "Back to the emperor, the grass people are doing well, but these days, the grass people are obsessed with planting flowers and vegetables, and the vegetables in this house have eaten too much, and it seems that people may be thinner, but compared to the bad problems developed by the wine and meat life in the past, now they are more energetic. ”

Emperor Chengqi looked at him with relief, it was rare that he was finally sensible, and he did not waste his hard work in vain, looking at the mother and son who cherished each other in front of him, he seemed to have found a trace of the feeling of youth, at that time he also hoped that he only had a child like Chu Zijin, and only a wife like Sun Concubine.

It's a pity that as an emperor, he always can't help himself.

"You can now realize this, I am deeply gratified, although such a day is more bitter, but it is also another kind of life, you are impetuous, this is not a bad thing for you, I hope you can change your evil in the future, don't have any evil thoughts, the past is over, the so-called prodigal son does not change his money, as long as he is willing to change, everything still has a chance."

"The emperor is right, the grass people must be remembered." What Emperor Chengqi said is that as long as he is willing to change, everything still has a chance
