Chapter 97 Chongyang
"You..." Zhao Zongheng moved back silently, and said quietly, "It's very suitable."

It's been a long time since I let you kiss me!
Si Ningchi stood up angrily, turned around to call for food, but only ordered a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Zhao Zongheng to watch but not let him eat.

Zhao Zongheng's whole body began to feel depressed. Looking at the dishes on the table and smelling the tempting fragrance, he sighed again and again. Si Ningchi took a bite and he sighed.

Si Ningchi couldn't take it anymore, and glanced over with sharp eyes.

Zhao Zongheng held back, and said with deep resentment: "I am the emperor, what's the point of being the emperor..."

Si Ningchi gave a hand, and then heard Zhao Zongheng continue to answer: "The emperor who has no food is really pitiful."

"Ugh--"

"..."

Sleeping at night, my mind is still...

Si Ningchi rolled on the phoenix couch in pain, and at some point she seemed to gradually start to care about Zhao Zongheng.

like?

Si Ning Chi looked at the top of the bed curtain and was a little absent-minded for a moment. Once he started thinking about something, he couldn't stop. Si Ning Chi tossed and turned for a long time and did not fall asleep.

The next morning.

Si Ningchi looked listless, Suyun looked helplessly and said: "Did you become a thief yesterday?"

"Are the Double Ninth Banquet arranged?" Si Ningchi yawned, looking at himself in the mirror and asked casually.

"Mother Jiang has discussed with several Shangyi adults." Suyun said in a low voice: "I will report the specific preparations to the empress in a while, and wait for the empress to make a decision."

"Jiang Momo is an old man who is used to it, so there is no need to report it if there is nothing wrong with Momo." Si Ningchi turned his head slightly and said, "I am too lazy to look."

Suyun was a little helpless when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything, Jiang Nanny was sent by the emperor, and fortunately there was Jiang Nanny, otherwise the empress would not be so relaxed.

The Double Ninth Banquet is nothing new, but because the Emperor is happy with the victory at the border, he intends to celebrate it at the Double Ninth Banquet, so this year's Double Ninth Festival will be more lively.

The specifications have not changed, but the banquet will be a bit richer, and the place to hold the banquet is set above the viewing platform hall, in the hall of the high pavilion, intended to climb high, and outside the hall is full of chrysanthemums of various colors for decoration. Appreciation, the color and appearance of this chrysanthemum is one in a million, and it is much more joyful to appreciate chrysanthemum and drink wine.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, all the concubines in the palace learned to put dogwood on their hair buns to attend the banquet. This time the palace banquet did not invite many foreign ministers, and only a few military ministers came here with the emperor's instruction. The man was sent home by the emperor for the holidays, which is unexpected.

When they entered the hall, they suddenly found the holy king Zhao Yuanli who was sitting opposite the emperor. He took off his mask and put on the royal python robe. Even if you want people to ignore it, you can't ignore it.

The sudden appearance of Zhao Yuanzhang made everyone guess. They had learned that the Holy King had returned to Beijing earlier, and said that the Holy King was about to return to the court.

But there was no movement after so long, thinking that the emperor just had this intention, but he hadn't acted yet.

But in the palace, the whereabouts of the holy king are erratic, and few people have seen the holy king. In addition, Zhao Yuanzhen often wears a mask, even if he meets him, he will not know that he is the holy king.

Now at the Double Ninth Banquet, the Holy King appeared so abruptly, which naturally aroused the astonishment of many people.

But the few military ministers who lived in the back looked normal, presumably the emperor had already greeted them, and the others gradually calmed down.

The holy king is the emperor's closest relative and uncle, and no one can stop him if he wants to return to the government.

It's just that the timing of Shengwang's return to the capital is a bit subtle, which inevitably makes people feel a little suspicious.

"The emperor and empress have arrived—"

Shouts came from outside the hall, and everyone stood up to greet them one after another.

Si Ningchi followed Zhao Zongheng to sit above the main seat, looked up and saw that almost everyone who was supposed to come had come, and to her surprise, Concubine Rong also came.

She was dressed in simple clothes, with a small white flower on her hair, and her complexion didn't look too good, even the thick powder couldn't suppress the blue and black under her eyes.

Si Ningchi raised her eyebrows lightly, she thought that Concubine Rong would be hit hard by this, and she was afraid that it would take a long time to come out again, but she didn't expect her to be in such a good mood, that today's banquet is still here?
Zhao Zongheng was talking to the lords, Wang Chengxiang ran over from the outside, and said to Zhao Zongheng in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager said that the emperor should pick her up before coming to the banquet..."

"Then let her stay alone." Zhao Zongheng didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and said in a calm tone: "The queen mother is old and should not work hard."

"..." Wang Chengxiang bowed his head silently: "Yes."

I have to say that this queen mother is as good as ever.

She seemed to have been working very hard to get the emperor's attention, but every time she attracted the emperor's repeated ignorance.

Empress Dowager Cui is also really determined. Last time she was forcibly sent back to the Ci'an Palace, she hasn't given her a long memory. Today, the Double Ninth Banquet still wants the emperor to invite her in person?
Really...

I don't know how much I weigh.

"Banquet." With the emperor's order, the banquet officially began.

It is very standard to arrange a song and dance first, and the women dancing in the temple are in full bloom like chrysanthemums. These dances are danced like this every year. There may be some small changes, but most of the time it is the soup without the medicine. of.

Zhao Zongheng's expression was gentle, and he didn't know where his mind had wandered.

Boring seems to be written all over his body.

But the expression on that face was still the same as before, others couldn't see the emperor's true thoughts at all, but for some reason, Si Ningchi could tell it at a glance.

He rubbed and rubbed the hand holding the corner of his clothes boredly, and he didn't even bother to move the chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, all the empresses in the palaces are good at singing and dancing. I'm tired of watching these songs and dances." Princess Chaoyang turned her head to look at Zhao Zongheng and said with a smile: "Why don't you change some tricks this year?"

"If you say that she is good at dancing, she is the number one concubine Yuan." Concubine De concubine Yuan turned her head to look at concubine Yuan with a smile, and said, "Concubine Yuan's Song of Floating Life back then is really admirable by this palace to this day."

"Since the emperor and Princess Chaoyang are interested today, why not Concubine Yuan replay the song from that year?" Concubine De said slightly raising her eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyang, forgive me. The concubines have not practiced dancing for many years, and they are already rusty now. How dare they show their shame in front of the Emperor." Concubine Yuan looked embarrassed, and looked at the eyes of everyone. She was a concubine after all. How can you dance in front of so many people so rashly?
"The Fusheng song is a sad parting tune. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and my concubine feels something is wrong." What people never expected was that Concubine Rong would suddenly stand up and speak for Concubine Yuan.
