"Oh?" Prince Qing saw this tall, handsome young man when he arrived. He thought he was someone's son, but he didn't expect him to be from the Secretariat. "How old are you?"

"I am already eighteen."

"Only eighteen. Really promising young man." He didn't know if he was married yet. This boy was a good match for his daughter in terms of appearance and future. Prince Qing thought so, and then he saw that there was a girl standing next to the boy. The two of them were quite close, and it was obvious that they were a couple.

A thin, deep voice sounded at this moment: "The Emperor has arrived, Consort Ming has arrived, Consort Yi has arrived——"

"Let's go and welcome the emperor." Prince Qing smiled and walked over quickly.

Soon, a bright yellow figure came into everyone's sight.

A chorus of welcoming voices.

Although Chen Heng was some distance away from the bright yellow figure, it did not affect her ability to see the emperor's face. The emperor was a man in his fifties and a bit fat, but he was very tall and had a majestic demeanor. It cannot be said that he was particularly good-looking, but the natural imperial aura made people feel that he was the most handsome guy present.

Xie Jian's forehead twitched. Ah Heng looked at the emperor with such a bright gaze that it seemed that he had indeed overthought it before. After all, the emperor was already so old.

"My lords, please come into the hall and take your seats." A familiar voice came.

It turned out to be Eunuch Wang, who had changed into the attire of a eunuch and was smiling in a manner that was six parts polite and four parts fawning. He was clearly welcoming someone, but in fact he was extremely arrogant.

When Shen Heng walked past Wang Nei Shi, she felt particularly fond of him because of Min Er's relationship with him. Seeing him greeting the adults who came in from time to time, she smiled and nodded.

Wang Nei Shi often saw Xie Jian, but this was the first time he saw Chen Heng in the imperial capital. He didn't expect that this little girl would give a smile to such a dear mother. He was happy and nodded.

After the worship, there is singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere.

Meng Xuanlang and his wife sat opposite the singing and dancing group. Chen Heng and Xie Jian didn't know anyone around them. They watched the singing and dancing while drinking and eating meat, and toasted each other from time to time. They were really having a great time.

"Is this wine from the Wu family?" Shen Heng drank it out.

Xie Jian nodded.

Chen Heng looked around and asked, "Is Tian Wu Jin also in the palace?"

"He should be there, but I didn't see him." Xie Jian was also a little curious about where he had gone.

Someone said, "May the emperor live a long and healthy life. Long live the emperor."

At one moment, all the ministers stood up and toasted.

After this happened three times in a row, everyone started to toast freely.

"Xiao Xie, sir." Two lords came over, they looked to be about 28 or 29 years old: "I have heard of your name for a long time. It is great to see you today. You are indeed a handsome man. Come, let us meet each other." Then they introduced themselves.

They are from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites.

Chen Heng was watching Ah Jian chatting with others. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that many girls had gone outside to enjoy the flowers. She couldn't sit still any longer, so she put down her wine cup and looked at her. Sure enough, she saw him glance at her.

Only then did Shen Heng leave.

After drinking three glasses of wine, even though it was fruit wine for the woman, she was still a little tipsy.

Flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is overwhelming, and the laughter of girls around can be heard from time to time.

Chen Heng walked up to a rockery. As she passed by it just now, she seemed to see a pavilion on it and wanted to go there to enjoy the cool breeze. She had taken a few steps when a deliberately suppressed voice came over: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Is it really necessary to do this? This is in the palace. If you really do it, that person will be ruined."

"This man can't be kept. We didn't anticipate his influence would be so profound. We must destroy him. Since he wants to emulate the integrity of his ancestors, then we must destroy his integrity. Go."

"yes."
