As a result, Master Jiang took advantage of Prince Jin's inattention and pushed him hard on the back.

Prince Jin was caught off guard and instantly rushed forward several steps, arriving in the middle of the hall.

"Ouch!" King Jin cried out.

He rushed forward too fast and lost his footing, falling flat on his face, landing on the red carpet in the middle of the hall.

In an instant, the tranquility in the hall was broken by the sound of "ouch".

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the person lying on the red carpet.

Xia Miaoyuan, looking down from above, watched the entire process and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it! You guys are unwilling to be the first to speak up, yet you still let my Tenth Imperial Uncle ask."

【How wicked! 】

Xia Zhengqi saw that it was his beloved brother, Prince Jin, who had fallen, and asked with concern, "Prince Jin, what happened to you?"

"Why did you fall?"

"Help him up quickly and see if he's okay!"

The clever little eunuch had already helped Prince Jin up.

The Prince of Jin was dizzy from the fall and was trying to calm down. He was about to explain to Emperor Mingxi when the Duke of Huguo spoke up at the right moment, "Your Highness the Prince of Jin wanted to step out and ask the Emperor a question."

Prince Jin endured the pain in his knee and turned his head to glare at the Duke of Protectorate.

"Oh? What does King Jin want to ask? Just ask." Xia Zhengqi's face was kind, and he had changed from his previous gloomy look.

Prince Jin was pushed onto the stage, his scalp tingling. But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty, someone asked me to inquire about the absence of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Li from today's palace banquet."
