Chapter 39: The Banquet

Zhao Chengxi's hands are smooth and delicate, like warm Hetian jade, warm and warm to hold, and soft as boneless, like soft white bamboo shoots. Where is this like a man's hand, but Qin Chongzhou didn't think much about it, Zhao Chengxi has been clothed and fed since he was a child, but he is afraid that he has not even touched a rough rag, and he naturally raises it like a white porcelain doll carved in pink and jade.

"Shall we go and see the stars?"

"Okay." Qin Chongzhou naturally responded.

"I'm going to look from the rooftop."

"Okay."

Qin Chongzhou was afraid that Zhao Chengxi would catch a cold, so he added his own coat to him.

Deeper and heavier, Zhao Chengxi was tightly wrapped, only revealing black and bright eyes, which were a few points brighter than the starry sky.

Qin Chongzhou sat beside Zhao Chengxi, and he could vaguely smell the ambergris on Zhao Chengxi's body, which was refreshing. Qin Chongzhou knew the taste of ambergris, but the taste on Zhao Chengxi's body was said to be ambergris, but it was a little more refreshing than the gentle and fragrant ambergris, like the smell of the woods in the morning, revealing a little lazy, and making people feel vibrant. This is Zhao Chengxi's own taste.

"I used to admire the moon and the stars with Xiao Lianzi and Chang Yi, and it was the first time I looked at the stars with others."

"That'...... Weichen is the first time to look at the stars, and it is also the first time to look at the stars with others. ”

"Really?" Zhao Chengxi's eyes were full of expectations.

"Nature is true."

"Then you can only look at the stars with me in the future, you know?"

"Wechen obeys."

"Then you don't talk about Weichen, I don't talk about me, I want to be an equal identity with you and say equal words."

"Okay." What an honor this is, Qin Chongzhou's heart warms.

"Qin Chongzhou, let me ask you, are you good to me because Grandpa Huang gave you to me?" Zhao Chengxi said the question in his heart.

"No, because you are the only one-of-a-kind majesty."

"Then Huyan Qingwu is also good to me because I am Your Majesty, and you are too?"

"I'm not good to you because you're Your Majesty, but because Your Majesty is unique, I'm good to Your Majesty."

"Hmm...... All right. Actually, Zhao Chengxi didn't understand.

"Would you be happy if I were a woman?"

Qin Chongzhou was stunned, Zhao Chengxi's question was completely beyond Qin Chongzhou's expectations, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Qin Chongzhou thought for a while: "Your Majesty, no matter what kind of appearance you look like, I am always full of joy. ”

When Zhao Chengxi heard this, two blush flew on his cheeks.

The two of them have their own careful thoughts, whether they hope or take into consideration, whether they are happy or sentimental, they all turn into small stars and blend into this inky night.

Zhao Chengxi woke up and found himself lying on his dragon bed, and asked puzzledly, "Xiao Lianzi, how did I come back?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty was sleepy and asleep last night, and it was the Hou Ye who sent you back. The minion will serve you to get up. ”

"What about him?"

"Hou Ye left the palace early in the morning, and Hou Ye still has to change his clothes and go to court."

"In this case, it is time for me to go to court."

Xiao Lianzi summoned people to wash and change clothes for Zhao Chengxi.

"Your Majesty, you are growing up, fortunately, your clothes are wide, I can't see it now, I'm just afraid that you will have to wear a corset in a while......" Mama Yue said while waiting for Zhao Chengxi to change clothes.

"By the way, Mama Yue, how is Concubine De?" Zhao Chengxi didn't care about Mama Yue's conversation, so she asked about Mu Wan'er, as if there was no news of her after seeing her that time.

"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine De suffered from the cold some time ago, and she will be raised in the palace, so it is inconvenient to go out." Mama Yue concealed Mu Wan'er's house arrest.

"Then let the Imperial Doctor take good care of it." Zhao Chengxi has no doubt about him.

"Lord, there is news from the palace that two days ago, the little emperor seemed to have discovered the adultery between the Protector and Mu Wan'er, and he was furious in the imperial garden. But now it seems that he doesn't care about it anymore, and he often summons the protector into the palace again. That Mu Wan'er was under house arrest in her palace and was not allowed to go out, as if she wanted to suppress this matter. ”

"It seems that the little emperor is not too stupid, knowing that he is temporarily indispensable for Qin Chongzhou's support, and he can even endure the entanglement of his concubines and ministers, and would rather not have the dignity of the royal family than dare to touch Qin Chongzhou." Hu Yanjue has his own opinions on speculating on other people's minds......

"What then?"

"He wanted to press it, and we lifted it to the faΓ§ade." Hu Yanjue smiled imperatively, "This king remembers that there will be a winter banquet in the palace in two days." ”

The winter banquet is the winter solstice, inviting the ministers of the court and the central government to participate in a dinner in the palace, listen to music, watch performances, chat, and contact feelings. It happened that the three princes of the Northern Zhou Kingdom were also in Jingling City, so they were naturally invited.

But Hu Yanjue made his own calculations, and when he saw that the song and dance had also ended, he said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang heard some gossip today, and he originally thought about his identity, and it was not good to talk to His Majesty, but he was afraid that His Majesty would be kept in the dark. Xiao Wang weighed it again and again, but decided to inform His Majesty. ”

Zhao Chengxi had an ominous premonition, presumably what Hu Yanjue was going to say was definitely not a good thing, and he really wanted to tell her that he could just find an opportunity in private, why bother in such a public, I was afraid that the person who came was not good.

Zhao Chengxi smiled and refused: "Tonight is a banquet, don't talk about anything else, the third prince has something to say, let's talk about it another day." ”

"This matter is a matter of Your Majesty's face, and Xiao Wang thinks that it is better for Your Majesty to know as soon as possible. I'm afraid that all the ministers have heard about this matter, and Xiao Wang really doesn't want His Majesty to be alone and still ignore. ”

Hu Yanjue's words were awe-inspiring, and Zhao Chengxi couldn't stop it anymore, so he could only say: "If the third prince has something to say, just say it." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Wang heard about it recently...... I don't know if it's true or not...... "Hu Yanjue paused, as if there was something unspeakable, "It's about this Concubine De Niangniang having an affair with the Protector Marquis......"

As soon as these words came out, the officials of the main hall all gasped. This His Majesty's family affairs were said so casually by these three princes, and it was too disregarding His Majesty's face. They have all received rumors about this matter, but when it comes to the protector, no one dares to come forward to poke it out first.

Hu Yanjue secretly observed Zhao Chengxi's expression, and saw that he was not surprised, but his face was pale, and he looked faintly angry. Hu Yanjue smiled secretly, it seems that this little emperor does have a grudge against Qin Chongzhou.

Zhao Chengxi was angry, she was angry that this matter was said in front of so many people, how would Qin Chongzhou be viewed, maybe everyone would think that he was a rebellious and ungrateful betrayer.

Qin Chongzhou still has the usual appearance of being light and light, as if he is an outsider.

No one in the palace dared to speak out, but Zhao Chengxi broke the deadlock: "These rumors are not credible, is it difficult for the third prince to take it seriously?" ”
