It was a navy blue robe made of brocade, embroidered with asparagus fern.
When Yao Jinse saw the robe clearly, she felt as if struck by lightning.
In the morning, she heard Liang Chaozong instruct his servants to bring the newly made brocade robe.
It was a brand new robe, one she had never seen before. Liang Chaozong had recently ordered a large number of custom-made new clothes from the clothing store, so even if she had taken the new clothes back, she would not have had the energy to examine them one by one.
However, she clearly remembered that in the morning, Liang Chaozong said that he wanted to wear that dark blue brocade robe.
Navy blue, brocade, all matched.
Also, the asparagus fern pattern embroidered on it is a pattern that Liang Chaozong usually likes. Many of his clothes are embroidered with asparagus fern.
At this moment, even though she couldn't see the face of the man in the black veil clearly, she was sure that the man in the black veil was Liang Chaozong.
Yao Jinse held her forehead with her hand, her face pale.
Han Lie was originally glaring at Zhu Ling and the man in black veil, but he suddenly turned his head and caught a glimpse of his daughter's horrifying appearance, and was immediately frightened.
He quickly supported his daughter.
On the other side, the little emperor and Xia Miaoyuan and his group.
They heard rustling sounds coming from the rockery and immediately guessed that someone was coming up, so they became alert.
It can be basically concluded that he climbed up the rockery at this moment in order to peek at the Empress Dowager's private meeting.
Who was so bold as to peek at the Empress Dowager?! This was something the young emperor could not tolerate.
So he suppressed his anger and signaled his trusted eunuch Santai with his eyes.
Santai understood what he meant and tiptoed to the other side of the rockery.
[Wow, this has gotten even worse. Besides us, there are other people peeping.]
[Ahhh, just thinking about it is so exciting!] Xia Miaoyuan became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
Looking at the front of the Qilin beast pen, Zhu Ling seemed to have entered an empty space, frequently throwing seductive glances at the man in black veil, and her fragile body, like a willow in the wind, also frequently leaned towards the man in black veil.
The man in black veil had no choice but to put his arm around her waist and coax her gently.
The followers on the rockery: Ahhh! I’m so scared of getting stye! I’m so scared of being silenced!
Little Emperor: I don’t want to live anymore!
Han Lie: Why does that guy look familiar to me?
Yao Jinse: You are such an ungrateful man, the mistress is actually the Empress Dowager!
Xia Miaoyuan: Roar, roar, roar! Keep going, keep going, make it more intense! It's not enough!
After Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong had been together for a while, a strong wind suddenly blew.
Liang Chaozong pulled the black veil on his hat and said, "The wind is blowing, let's take shelter first!"
Zhu Ling readily agreed, "Alright, then let's go to Yupinxuan for some tea and snacks."
After saying that, Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong walked out one after the other.
Everyone on the rockery pricked up their ears to listen.
When the little emperor saw Zhu Ling and the others leave, he anxiously asked, "Where did they say they were going?"
At the same time, Han Lie didn't hear clearly where Zhu Ling and the others were going, so he couldn't help but ask his daughter, "Where did they say they were going?"
Xia Miaoyuan and Yao Jinse said almost in unison: "Yupinxuan!"
The two calls of "Yupinxuan" startled everyone on both sides.
Almost at the same time, the little emperor stood up from the rockery, and Han Lie also stood up from the rockery, and the two looked at the rocks opposite.
For a moment, the little emperor and Han Lie looked at each other, and both the old and the young were stunned.
Little Emperor: What a sin! Why is Prime Minister Han here too? It's over. This family scandal can no longer be concealed.
Han Lie: No way! What a coincidence?
Xia Miaoyuan: Oh my god, it’s even more fun.
After being stunned for a while, Han Lie was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this is..."
The little emperor laughed awkwardly and said, "Today I brought Princess Anguo to visit the South Garden. I happened to hear a cricket chirping on the rockery, so I wanted to catch one for the princess to play with. I'm sorry to have made such a fool of myself, Lord Han."
Han Lie pulled the corners of his mouth hard, revealing a smile uglier than crying. "Your Majesty, this is just childishness. How could I possibly make fun of you?"
The little emperor's excitement had calmed down a lot by now, so he asked, "Then why did you climb the rockery, Lord Han..."
Han Lie stroked his beard and chuckled a few times, saying, "I'm just exercising!"
As he spoke, he stretched his arms and exercised them twice.
"Hahaha!" The little emperor laughed dryly. "Lord Han is truly a role model for all the civil and military officials in the court. He never forgets to exercise even on his days off. Only a strong physique can withstand such a heavy workload!"
Han Lie smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
The little emperor glanced at the exit out of the corner of his eye and saw that the empress dowager and her entourage were too far away to see, and he felt extremely anxious.
He had to see for himself who that man in the black veil was.
Thinking of this, the little emperor said, "Lord Han, I would like to take Princess Anguo to visit somewhere else. Please feel free to do so."
When Han Lie heard that the little emperor was leaving, he felt relieved and said hurriedly, "Goodbye, Your Majesty!"
The little emperor and his entourage then went down the rockery.
The little emperor picked up Xia Miaoyuan and walked all the way to the entrance of the Garden of Wonderful Beasts. He then said to everyone, "We've been walking around for quite a while. Princess Anguo must be tired. Let's go to the Imperial Pavilion and have some fruit and tea before we continue."
When the little emperor said this, everyone's heart started beating wildly.
Xia Miaoyuan, [Oh my god, your mother and her lover just went to Yupinxuan, and you want to go too? It's obvious you're going to catch them in an adultery!]
[Ahhhhhh! Little Emperor, are you serious?]
The followers: I really want to go, but I’m also afraid of being killed along with my entire clan! What a contradiction!
Without waiting for everyone's response, the little emperor had already carried Xia Miaoyuan and strode towards a small path.
Nanyuan is huge in scale, with many crisscrossing paths and paths.
The path the little emperor was walking on was the path leading to the Imperial Pavilion. It was a popular shortcut for palace servants transporting things to the Imperial Pavilion.
The followers had no time to think about anything else and had to try their best to keep up.
On the other side, Han Lie and his daughter.
The little emperor and his entourage left at lightning speed, leaving only Han Lie and his daughter at the foot of the rockery.
Yao Jinse's face was frighteningly ugly. She squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Father, we should go back. The Empress Dowager is here having an affair with someone today. Since we accidentally ran into this, we'd better go back quickly."
Han Lie's eyes widened and he said, "No! I want to see who that man is!"
After saying that, he strode forward.
Yao Jinse hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Father, don't go. That man is Liang Chaozong! I recognized him."
Han Lie's heart started beating like a drum instantly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "How is it possible?!"
At this moment, Han Lie's anger reached its peak.
After his plan failed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Liang Chaozong became a stray dog.
If it weren't for Han Lie, who took him in and supported him to serve as an official in the court for the sake of his daughter, it would be unknown whether Liang Chaozong would still be alive at this moment.
But now, he, the son-in-law who rose to power by stepping on his father-in-law's shoulders, actually dared to seduce the empress dowager!
He went behind my back to try to climb the Queen Mother's high position! He was really rebelling against the heavens!
