Tyrant, your vest fell off

Chapter 9 - Mid-Autumn Festival Promise Banquet
Half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Jianzhang finally returned to the palace with a mighty southern tour of honor.

At the same time, they also brought back more than a dozen beauties from the local powerful gentry during the southern tour. To the shock of the entire harem, four or five of the women from the gentry families were pregnant for two to three months.

Situ Qin gritted his silver teeth in hatred, but secretly rejoiced that the pregnant woman was not the daughter of a powerful family, but just the daughter of a merchant.

Without a powerful mother family, it doesn't matter if there is a prince. She is the queen and the mother-in-law, and all the princes and princesses must respect her as the queen mother.

Taking ten thousand steps back, what if I can't give birth to a son-in-law.
There are many cases of killing mothers and raising children in all dynasties.What's the matter if she adds another sum?

But the concubines in the harem couldn't sit still. After His Majesty named several pregnant women as concubines, the whole harem became restless.

Today Concubine Li, who was newly conferred in the imperial garden, was punished by Concubine Li Xian to kneel in Fengzao Palace, weeping and begging her to be the master.

The queen mother was even more furious and sent her personal nun to reprimand her, the queen, and fined her to kneel in the imperial temple for a long time. Various methods of fighting in the palace kept refreshing Situ Qin's limit every day.

As a queen, she had to be forced to deal with the flattery and deceitful palace battles and could not escape.

In the past few days, the entire imperial palace has been intensively preparing for the five-yearly Mid-Autumn Festival Wuji Banquet. The Wuji Banquet has always been hosted by the four countries in turn.

This year it was the turn of the Gale Empire, and the monarchs of the four countries would send their nobles and famous nobles to attend. It was the first time for Situ Qin to host such a large-scale feast, so she was extremely busy.

In the evening of this day, Mr. Nanshan's book boy, Moran, respectfully handed over an exquisite invitation to the Wuji Night Banquet.

As a prospective student of the academy and also Dafeng's prince, Sikong Que was invited to the banquet tomorrow night even though he was in limbo.

This was the first time Sikong Que participated in such a feast, so the master and servant began to prepare carefully while being excited.

As soon as Mo Ran left, Li Dexi, the chief eunuch of His Majesty the Emperor, came to the Leng Palace with a group of princes dressed in attire.

Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor didn't want his prince to lose face and manners at the banquet.

Even Li Qingmei was bestowed with a water-blue delicate maid's attire.

Li Dexi rambled on to the master and servant to straighten out the banquet process and the etiquette that needed attention.

In the end, seeing that the master and servant were so shy, they seemed to have no intention of rewarding him with happy money, so they shook their heads slightly and left.

This night, the lights in Sikong Que's room were brightly lit, even Li Qingmei was affected by the tense atmosphere and couldn't sleep all night.

It wasn't until the morning glow pierced the dark sky and saw the candles in Sikong Que's room extinguished that she fell asleep in a daze.
During the mid-autumn festival, Sikong Que's master and servant got dressed early and waited in the hall. It was not until the moon went up to the west tower that the eunuch led him to the Qiluo Hall.

At this time, Sikong Que was wearing the purple prince's python robe, with jade on his waist, his hands were clasped together nervously, and they were firmly attached to the belt, until the palm of his hand was pressed against the round little jade bead, he felt a little more at ease.

On the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a gilded plaque of black golden silk nanmu, on which are written three vigorous characters "Qi Luo Dian".

There is the sound of piano and music faintly coming from the hall, the sky steps are as cool as water at night, the red candles are flickering inside the door, silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, the drizzle outside the door is slanting, the accumulated water drips quietly along the eaves, and ripples are dizzy on the ground. like a sigh
Li Qingmei followed behind Sikong Que with her head down, stepped into the hall, and raised the corners of her eyes curiously.

On the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne in the hall, Emperor Jianzhang was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, as if looking down at the world and looking down on all living beings!
Oh, no, he is above all life! However, who knows everything in his heart, the height is extremely cold, so, he will always have a cold appearance!
His brows were tightly frowned, as if he was troubled by something, but just this frown made people feel awe from the bottom of his heart.

Sikong Que, who was familiar with palace etiquette, knelt down respectfully and bowed down.

The long-sleeved and good at dancing, the envoy with a keen sense of politics and the courtier of Dafeng have exchanged countless messages with their eyes. It seems that His Majesty still loves this son-in-law.
All the ministers in the audience have already started whispering and whispering. There has always been a rumor in the court that His Majesty actually loves this prince very much. After all, he is a legitimate son. Recently, there have been frequent news from the imperial study that this time King Shun can successfully enter the Wuji Academy Meng Xue, there are faint traces of His Majesty's figure operating behind the scenes.

It seems that the future of this prince is limitless.
In this infinite feast, all parties have their own ghosts.

Even Emperor Jianzhang on the dragon chair seemed to be absent-mindedly staring at the little eunuch who was serving the dishes in front of him thoughtfully.

Even the appreciation of poems and paintings carefully prepared by various countries, as well as the graceful talents presented by famous women seem to have become much duller.
