Chapter 82 Identical Phoenix Crown
Standing by the door, Mrs. Liu raised her hand and brushed the broken hair by her ears and smiled.

In fact, Si Yirong knows better than anyone else that his stepmother just can't stand on the stage, and this stepmother was once his concubine woman. You can see the attitude of the emperor how much the emperor in the palace hates the queen mother Cui as a stepmother.

If Si Yirong dared to bring his stepmother to the banquet, it would be tantamount to challenging the emperor. He is not that stupid. He would rather spend more time comforting women than joke about his own future.

Don't look at how affectionate Si Yirong is for the Liu family, no matter how affectionate he is, he has been raised outside for more than ten years, and he dares to bring him back to the mansion when he becomes Marquis of Xiwu and his wife dies?
This man has more means than anyone else.

"Daddy, that's..." In front of the palace gate, the father and daughter unexpectedly ran into Si Haoze who was also about to enter the palace.

Si Haoze obviously didn't intend to talk to Si Yirong's father and daughter, so he was ready to leave with his hand on the wheelchair. Si Yirong couldn't help but feel annoyed at this scene, and stepped forward to block Si Haoze .

"Si Haoze, do you still see me as a father?" Si Yirong stared at him with dark eyes and hidden anger: "Where have you been these past few months?"

"Father seems to be caring too late." Si Haoze looked cold, glanced at Si Qiong who was standing behind Si Yirong and twitched his lips. Back then, his father never brought A Chi to the palace for a banquet. It seemed that he couldn't do much, but now it's good, but he will definitely bring Si Qiong Lian with him when he hosts a banquet in the palace, in the euphemistic name of bringing her to broaden her horizons and increase her knowledge.

"I'm your father, so there should be a limit to being angry." Si Yirong frowned and stared at Si Haoze and said, "What do you come to enter the palace with your legs and feet inconvenient?"

"..."

Another annoying tone.

Si Haoze felt a little physically disgusted, and really didn't want to say a word, so he turned his head and said, "Dongsi, let's go."

Si Yirong still wanted to stop him, but was blocked by Dongsi. He stared at Si Yirong coldly and said, "Master Hou, my general is going to visit the empress, I'm afraid it's not up to you whether you can enter the palace or not." .”

Dongsi said this to Si Yirong, then turned around and pushed Si Haoze away.

Si Yirong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He probably didn't expect when Si Haoze had contact with Si Ningchi. After all, Si Haoze didn't seem to be summoned to the palace to meet the queen after returning to Beijing?

"Daddy, is brother still angry?" Si Qiong looked at Si Yirong with a sad face and whispered, "Does brother not like our mother?"

"Don't think too much, it's not your fault." Si Yirong restrained his expression, gently patted Si Qionglian's head and said softly: "Don't worry about this matter, daddy will take care of it, let's go to the palace first."

This is the first time that Si Haoze went to the Queen's Fengwu Palace. He observed the surroundings all the way, without missing any details, just wanted to see if his sister was really safe and secure living in Fengwu Palace.

Before the palace banquet started, Si Ningchi was dressing up. When she heard that Si Haoze was waiting in the main hall, she put down the phoenix crown in her hand and went over to meet him so easily.

"My minister sees the empress." Si Haoze bowed his head in a wheelchair to salute.

"Brother came late, the road is not going well?" Si Ningchi raised his hand slightly, asking Shen Ting to serve tea casually.

"Fortunately, not being familiar with the roads in the palace delayed a little." Si Haoze never mentioned the encounter with Marquis Xiwu and his step-sister at home, but instead asked about Si Ningchi's recent situation.

"Life in the palace is boring, nothing new." Si Ningchi shrugged and answered quite casually.

"I heard that Princess Chaoyang and Concubine Liang have returned to the palace, and that Concubine Liang..." Si Haoze frowned slightly, and looked at Si Ningchi with some worry, as if he was worried that the queen, Si Ningchi, would be bullied.

"Not worth mentioning."

"..."

Si Ningchi sat in a high position, with a slight smile on his lips, his bright phoenix eyes seemed to have a kind of arrogance looking down on the world, his light words instantly made Si Haoze calm down, it was so worthless.

His sister is really awesome.

A smile spread across Si Haoze's face, he looked at Si Ningchi seriously and said, "After entering the palace, I feel like I have been reborn."

Si Ningchi: ...That's not right.

The two brothers and sisters talked for a while in the main hall, and Si Haoze offered to leave first, so that Si Ningchi could dress up well, and see you later at the Qingxiang Palace banquet.

"Dong Si." After leaving Fengwu Palace, Si Haoze raised his head and called out: "Think of a way to find out what happened before and after A Chi entered the palace. I always feel that A Chi seems to be a different person."

"The general wants to..." Dongsi's expression tightened, and he lowered his head to ask.

"Maybe I'm overthinking, but it's better to check." Si Haoze frowned slightly, he was not sure.

In Qingxiang Palace, all the ministers have basically taken their seats.

When Zhao Zongheng and Si Ningchi arrived, the banquet was almost full of people, the female relatives who were chatting with each other and the courtiers who were chatting with each other saw the arrival of the emperor and empress, and they all stood up to greet them.

Zhao Zongheng yelled, and he and the queen took the main seat.

Seeing that the banquet was about to start, a summons came from outside: "The Empress Dowager is here—!"

Everyone stood up and looked, when they were about to bow down to salute, they turned around and suddenly saw the phoenix crown on the Queen Mother's head, which was exactly the same as that worn by the Empress Dowager! ?

How could the female officials of the Third Division and the Sixth Bureau make such a mistake?

Let the empress and the empress dowager wear exactly the same phoenix crown, this is simply...

Everyone in the hall had different expressions on their faces, and there was a lot of discussion. They looked at the queen mother, then turned to look at the queen, and then looked at the emperor's face. They suddenly felt that the Mid-Autumn Banquet had already been a disaster before it even started.

"Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Cui looked at those surprised and uncertain eyes in the hall, smiled happily, walked forward calmly and nodded to the emperor.

"The Empress Dowager's outfit today..." Zhao Zongheng clenched his hands tightly, staring at Empress Dowager Cui with a cold look, he wanted to stand up for the Empress, but he didn't want to say anything, but Si Ningchi held his hand.

"The Empress Dowager's outfit today is really novel." Si Ningchi said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager, please take a seat."

"Hmph." Empress Dowager Cui sneered, and pretended to reach out to support the hair crown on her head, as if to let everyone take a closer look. She also wears the hair crown that the queen wears.

Such a move was like slapping the Queen in the face severely.

As for the smiling face of the queen, everyone couldn't understand it. Although they thought the queen was smiling, why did the smile get creepier the more they looked at it?

Especially Concubine De, couldn't help but clenched the embroidered handkerchiefs in their hands, always feeling a bloody feeling that the storm was about to come.

"Banquet." Zhao Zongheng held Si Ningchi's hand with his backhand, turned his head and called.
