Chapter 221 Discovering the Emperor's Secret

They kept thinking along the way, and soon they appeared in front of a magnificent and magnificent palace.

Right above the palace gate, there hangs a large vermilion plaque, on which are clearly engraved some majestic gold-carved characters - Fenghua Palace.

When the emperor arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs who were in charge of cleaning Fenghua Palace, as well as the guards on duty, knelt down in fear and trepidation to greet him.

The emperor never comes here on weekdays. Now that he has arrived suddenly, the people in the underground palace are inevitably frightened, fearing that their lives will be in danger if they anger the emperor.

Xiao Jue asked everyone to stand up, and then gave instructions to Eunuch Feng who was standing beside him.

"Eunuch Feng, have someone go to the imperial kitchen and bring a table of wine and food. Today, I will entertain the Second Young Master and Miss Shen in Fenghua Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Feng casually pointed out a few palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side and sent them to the imperial kitchen to serve the meal.

Without him asking, the emperor took the initiative to bring wine and food, which made Chen Yaoxing very satisfied, so he became more and more demanding.

"Your Majesty truly understands me. Your Majesty, I wish to drink the first-class immortal wine presented by the Jiangzhou Prefecture."

"Oh, you really know how to drink. I can't bear to drink this kind of immortal wine."

Having said that, the next moment, Xiao Jue waved his hand and said, "Eunuch Feng, have someone bring us a first-grade immortal wine."

The evil plan succeeded, Shen Yaoxing raised the corners of his lips and smiled like a fox.

The Yun Kingdom worships the virtue of water, so the dragon robe is mainly black, with exquisite and gorgeous golden dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread.

Against the backdrop of this dark golden dragon robe, the man looked more handsome and majestic than ever before.

Shen Qingyi glanced at him secretly and couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for him. He had treated them so warmly, how could he have imagined that they, the brother and sister, were plotting against him at this moment.

Shen Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Suddenly, he looked over and their eyes met. His eyes were dark and deep, with emotions that she couldn't understand, but it made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

Shen Qingyi clenched her fists and quickly lowered her head, not daring to continue looking at him.

"Miss Shen, do you want to go to the warm pool first, or have dinner with me and the Second Young Master first?"

ah? ? ?

Shen Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Yaoxing.

Chen Yaoxing raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't we have dinner yet? You eat first, and then go to see the warm pool after dinner."

"good."

Shen Qingyi nodded and turned to look at Xiao Jue again, but she only dared to look at his neck and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Your Majesty, I will dine with you and my second brother first."

"Well, that's fine. Let's go after dinner. No one is using the warm pool. If Miss Shen is interested, you can go and use it. The water in the warm pool is very beneficial to the body."

Hearing this, a dark light flashed across Chen Yaoxing's eyes.

It is an honor for the servants to be able to take a look at the Fenghua Palace floor heating pool. When did they become able to use it at will?

Does the emperor he knows seem to be such a generous person?

The image of Eunuch Feng, who was panting and almost dying of exhaustion, appeared in his mind. Shen Qingyi might not be able to see it, but he knew at a glance that the emperor had lied at that time.

He was not patrolling near the palace gate out of idleness, but he had deliberately appeared there at the fastest speed.

Before, he couldn't understand the emperor's intention of lying and concealing the truth, but now, he seemed to suddenly understand.

The Emperor might...

No wonder he came to the palace so many times, but only today did he enjoy the treatment of being personally welcomed by the emperor. It turned out that it was because he brought Shen Qingyi with him only today.

Haha, it’s like giving you a pillow just when you feel sleepy.

He was worried that the emperor would not be seduced by Shen Qingyi, but he didn't expect that he would discover such a secret.

Tsk, why hadn't he noticed this before?

It seems that today's plan is almost certain to succeed.

Chen Yaoxing was completely relieved, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

On the side, Shen Qingyi was flattered when she heard those words. She felt confused and unreal.

"Thank you, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty..."

But no need for that. She was very self-aware and would never dare to go down and pollute the warm pool.

That belongs to the future queen.

Soon, the wine and food were ready, and even the first-grade fairy wine that Chen Yaoxing had been thinking about was brought in.

Xiao Jue sat in the main seat, Chen Yaoxing and Shen Qingyi sat opposite him. Behind them, palace servants held wine jugs in their hands and carefully added wine for them.

"Qingyi, come, let's toast to the emperor and thank him for his hospitality."

Chen Yaoxing picked up the wine glass, stood up first, looked at Shen Qingyi beside him, and winked at her.

The twins, a boy and a girl, had an extraordinary tacit understanding. With just one glance, Shen Qingyi knew that his invitation to her for a toast was fake and his real intention was to let her take the opportunity to seduce him.

They had just started eating, and he was urging her to seduce him. It was too hasty.

But he had already said it, and she couldn't refuse it at all. If she refused, it would be disrespectful to the emperor. If the emperor wanted to punish her, she would be in big trouble.

Cursing Shen Yaoxing silently in her heart, Shen Qingyi picked up the wine glass, and under his silent threat, she stood up, moved her feet slightly, and moved towards Xiao Jue little by little.

All her little movements were seen by the man.

Xiao Jue curled his lips, his eyes filled with some confusion and expectation.

She was acting very abnormally today. Not only did she come to the palace on purpose, but she also dressed up so beautifully and seductively, and now she was doing this little trick.

All signs indicate that she has some plans for him today, but no one knows what they are.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I offer you a toast. Thank you for your hospitality..."

The girl's nervous but exceptionally pleasant voice rang in his ears. Xiao Jue stretched out his arm, casually took the wine glass from her hand, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

When he took the wine glass away, he accidentally touched her hand, and now the skin he touched seemed to be on fire.

Shen Qingyi stood there in a daze, staring at him as he finished drinking and then returned the glass.

This operation completely confused her.

She stood there blankly, holding the empty wine glass, not knowing what to do.

Don’t they drink together when toasting?

Why did he take her wine?

Also, what did he mean by returning the wine glass?

Let her use his wine glass?

But he has already used this wine glass, how can she use it again?

Not to mention Shen Qingyi, even Shen Yaoxing was confused by Xiao Jue's action.

He almost couldn't help but think that this was Xiao Jue's unique drinking table culture, so he walked over with a wine glass and said almost the same words as Shen Qingyi.

"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a toast as well. Thank you for your hospitality."

After he finished speaking, he respectfully handed the wine glass to Xiao Jue with both hands, and drank it all after it was taken away.

But who would have thought that Xiao Jue would raise his glass, clink it lightly with his, raise his eyebrows and look at him with a smile.

"Drink first as a toast. How dare you say toast if you don't drink first?"

Chen Yaoxing: “????”

Shen Qingyi: “???”

Hey, why did the style change so quickly?
