As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 216
Emperor Xuanwu originally wanted to order someone to set up a seat for Lu Ci, but Lu Ci had rejected the Holy Will twice before. He expected that he would refuse again this time.

Then where does he show off his dignity as an emperor?
Emperor Xuanwu finally dismissed him and gave Eunuch Li a look of care.

Xie Zhaozhao also stood up and returned to his seat, kneeling and sitting down again.

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at her lightly, and saw that she looked calm and calm, and her sitting posture was upright.

In fact, holding a banquet is not a comfortable thing. There are very strict rules for walking, walking, sitting, standing, and even picking up vegetables and drinking tea.

Except for the prince Long and his grandson who often walked around the palace, the other guests had to be very reserved.

If you are too restrained, you will get tired easily.

Therefore, usually when such a palace banquet is held in the middle, some people will become unable to sit still.

Especially the female relatives, most of whom are coddled in the boudoir and have fragile bodies, cannot help but secretly do some exercises such as slumping down to relieve fatigue.

As a result, the demeanor is naturally not very good-looking.

This is a trivial matter that Eunuch Li had just discussed with Emperor Xuanwu while accompanying him.

At that time, Emperor Xuanwu laughed it off and didn't take it too seriously.

Now comparing Xie Zhaozhao with some female relatives who are so discreet, she really stands out.

Moreover, the fateful incident happened just now, and she almost had to marry King Zhou to celebrate the wedding, but now she can still be so stable.

Emperor Xuanwu looked away while stroking his beard.

He had many things to do every day. Xie Zhaozhao saw him more often when he was a child, but as he grew older, he only saw him once or twice a year.

In my impression, Xie Zhaozhao was energetic and lively. When did he become so quiet and dignified, like a lady trained by a noble family?

Looking at it this way, this guy Yun Qi actually has good vision.

But he himself made a mistake.

……

The banquet lasted for another half an hour and then ended.

Because of the farce between Prince Liang and Qin Tianjian, everyone was cautious at the end of the banquet.

At the end of the banquet, Emperor Xuanwu rewarded the prince Long and his grandson, and no one was left behind. The rewards were also graded according to their status.

The reward given to King Liang was a few more books, all of which taught how to cultivate one's moral character.

Prince Liang was holding those books, his face was almost earthy, and his teeth were broken.

To King Zhou and Concubine Ning, Emperor Xuanwu also specially rewarded them with some tributes such as ginseng and deer antlers, and asked Concubine Xian to check on them and ask the imperial physician to take good care of them.

Xie Zhaozhao knelt on the ground with everyone to send the Holy Emperor off, and thought to himself: Does he really care about Concubine Ning and King Zhou that much?

But Xie Zhaozhao found out that Emperor Xuanwu had never set foot in Concubine Ming's palace since King Zhou and Concubine Ning became ill.

King Zhou only sent Eunuch Li once.

He was already dissatisfied with King Zhou and Concubine Ning and his son, but he acted benevolently and righteously on the surface.

Such an emperor is really watertight.

If it were not for his past life experience, Xie Zhaozhao would not be able to understand Emperor Xuanwu's words and actions at all.

A corner of his robe slipped across the back of his hand, and the man paused for a moment in front of him.

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes moved and he saw the Ruyi cloud pattern embroidered on the top of the man's boots.

She looked up.

Yun Qi lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, then followed Emperor Xuanwu and the Crown Prince.

After the royal family members left, Xie Zhaozhao and other guests stood up.

When they arrived outside the palace, Hong Xiu quickly came over to support Xie Zhaozhao: "It was really critical just now."

"Yes."

Zhang Liangdi came out from behind, frowned and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Lu is in the palace, otherwise today would have been -" "Fortunately, there was no danger." Xie Zhaozhao smiled, "It's already very late, and we can't stay in the palace. , let’s get out of the palace first and then talk.”

"indeed."

Zhang Liangdi and Xie Zhaozhao went to the palace road together.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they said goodbye and took carriages back to their homes.

It was just past midnight when we returned to Wangyue Pavilion.

Xie Jiajia had already put Yue Ya'er to sleep, and came to Wangyue Tower when she heard that Xie Zhaozhao was back.

"Lao Wu went out to hang out, and I guess he won't be back tonight." Xie Jiajia took Xie Zhaozhao's hand and said with a smile: "Tonight, we sisters, let's stay up late."

The palace banquet on New Year's Eve is a big banquet for the ministers and their family members. The prince, dragon and grandson will stay in the palace to watch the New Year, and the ministers and family members will also go home to reunite.

Get up early on the first day of the new year and go to the palace to meet the emperor for a hundred years.

This has been the case during New Year celebrations over the years.

Xie Jiajia asked Xie Zhaozhao how he felt about the second volume of the book "City Lord".

Xie Zhaozhao sneered and said, "I haven't looked at it yet."

When I suddenly saw those contents before, I really wanted to know the follow-up, but after I put them down for a long time, my curiosity faded, and I didn’t really want to know anymore.

"I'll tell you!" Xie Jiajia said, "I finally separated them!"

Next, Xie Jiajia told the twists and turns of the story enthusiastically, sobbing when she talked about the sad parts, and laughing when she talked about the happy parts.

After she finished speaking, she asked again: "Did you have any interesting things when you were marching with your parents in the past? Tell me about them. I might be able to make plain colors to write in the storybook."

"Before—" Xie Zhaozhao thought for a while and casually talked about some things that happened when he was in the army.

There were some tragedies that Xie Jiajia could not imagine, and those joys that Xie Jiajia had never participated in.

Now everything sounds fresh and exciting.

Xie Jiajia said with emotion: "If I hadn't grown up in my maternal grandparents' house, I should have been able to hang out with you since I was a child and see the scenery you mentioned."

"Let's be together in the future." Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile.

"Ah."

Xie Jiajia nodded, took Xie Zhaozhao's arm, tilted her head, and rested her head on Xie Zhaozhao's shoulder, "Zhaozhao, you like Yun Qi very much, right?"

"Why did sister say that?"

"Of the things you just mentioned during the march, [-]% of them were talking about how we were with Yun Qi. The remaining [-]% were about talking to our parents and brothers, and the remaining [-]% ​​were about the scenery."

"If he didn't hold an important position in your heart, you wouldn't subconsciously say so much."

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned.

In fact, she just chatted casually and said whatever came to her mind.

Did Jiang talk so much about Yun Qi without realizing it?
"That boy Yunqi..." Xie Jiajia curled her lips, "Looks good now. I only care about you in my eyes and heart, but I don't know what will happen in the future. Men can change easily."

In the intertwining of all kinds of fame and fortune, love is elusive and harder to grasp than the wind.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and did not say this, but asked about Xie Jiajia's life in his maternal grandfather's house.

Xie Jiajia thought for a while and chatted with Xie Zhaozhao about Pennsylvania.

In previous years, when Xie Wei and Yu were in the capital, the eldest and second brothers would come back to reunite, which was very lively during the New Year.

This year, there are only two people, Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Jiajia, which seems a bit deserted.

However, these two sisters, one comes from another time and space, and the other has seen too much misery in the past life, and they are not people who like liveliness. The two of them gathered around the small red clay stove and chatted all over the world, but they were not so deserted.
