This reason for liking it is quite unique.
Everyone couldn't help laughing for a moment.
Only Jiang Zhaorong was standing there awkwardly.
[This is so embarrassing. Let me put myself in your shoes. My toes have already dug out a three-bedroom apartment.]
【Mom doesn’t have to worry about me having no place to live anymore. 】
"puff……"
Xiao Lingyu spat out a mouthful of wine, covered his face tightly with his sleeves, and his face turned red.
The emperor's mouth curled up, and so did the others. Coughing sounds broke out everywhere. Jiang Zhiyu protected the chicken leg and looked at them vigilantly.
[You can cough, but don't spit saliva up.]
The Queen Mother was just as confused as Jiang Zhaorong. She looked at Xiao Lingyu, whose face was flushed red, and scolded him lightly, "Why are you in such a hurry? You are the Crown Prince. If you lose your manners like this, you will lose face for the royal family."
Xiao Lingyu took a few deep breaths, and after a while, he gasped and said, "Grandmother Royal is teaching me that it is my fault that I was choked for a moment."
The ministers at other tables all looked over when they heard the sound. The Queen Mother did not want to continue speaking and looked away.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Jiang Zhaorong closed the brocade box and hid it in his sleeve. He said goodbye to the emperor and the empress dowager, then found a table and sat down.
It's no wonder that he was not qualified to be the prime minister. If it were someone else, they would have taken their things and left long ago. However, Jiang Zhaorong sat at the table as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with the others at the table.
Regardless of whether others were willing to pay attention to him or not, he would always chuckle and try to find topics to talk about.
There were laughter and congratulations in the courtyard.
…
At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the other side, Song Shiwei had finished packing and was standing at the door, waiting for the Queen Mother.
It was exactly the same mood as the people waiting for the Prime Minister's Mansion in the palace yesterday.
She looked at the sky outside and kept comforting herself in her heart.
It's this hour now, the Queen Mother must have been delayed...
Wait from noon until it gets dark.
The night is like water, the moon is in the sky, and the moonlight like frost and snow covers the courtyard, making it as bright as day.
Today, because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were here, the ministers couldn't help but drink a few more cups, and everyone's face was flushed.
The empress dowager pressed her head and sighed softly. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she coughed lightly and sighed a little louder.
This time the sound was too loud to ignore. Impatience flashed across the emperor's eyes. He looked at her with a hint of concern in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, mother? Are you feeling unwell?"
If you feel unwell, just go back to the palace immediately. He will send someone to take her back.
"It's an old problem. I always have trouble falling asleep at night. Your Majesty, don't worry." The Queen Mother pressed her brows and suddenly looked at Jiang Zhiyu: "I heard that Zhiyu's medical skills are comparable to those of a miracle doctor. Why don't you take a look at him?"
Life is dull, and Toad comments on humans.
"You're trying to gouge my eyes out again, and you're even trying to arrange a marriage for me. I've already dealt with three waves of your spies in the past few days, and you still want me to show you how to do it?"
【Dream on.】
[Besides, I was the one who gave you the drug in the first place, so why would I give you the cure?]
The Emperor said, "...Zhiyu is the birthday girl today, so there's no need to bother your mother. Return to the palace and I'll have the imperial physician examine you."
Afraid that Jiang Zhiyu would refuse directly and be embarrassed, the emperor tried to smooth things over.
His tone was filled with warning. If the Queen Mother had been awake and listened, she would have definitely gone down the stairs. However, she had also drunk a few more glasses of wine today. She said coldly, "Show me how tired I can be. The Emperor, please don't pamper her too much."
The smile on the emperor's face froze slightly, and his lips pursed slightly.
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Zhiyu and waited for her to come over.
However, Jiang Zhiyu did not move. "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. If you always have trouble sleeping, I suggest you sleep on your eight-pack abs. The effect will be immediate."
The sounds of stringed instruments and music stopped for a moment, and everyone looked over with wide eyes, their pupils trembling slightly.
The atmosphere fell into dead silence for a moment.
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Zhiyu with disbelief. She was about to explode, but alarm bells were ringing in her heart.
When she was still a concubine, her subconscious saved her life again and again.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyelashes as she thought deeply.
Why did Jiang Zhiyu suddenly say this? Was she warning him that she knew his secret?
Although she was the empress dowager, if the fact that she secretly kept a male lover was exposed, she would be cursed by the people of the world.
What's more, his identity as a male concubine is something that cannot be made public.
If I hold on to this now and the emperor investigates thoroughly, it will be difficult for me to hide it.
Just bear with it today, it won’t be too late to get it back from her later.
There is still a long way to go.
After comforting herself mentally, the Queen Mother let out a breath, met the surprised gazes of the crowd, and chuckled softly, "Zhiyu was just joking. Don't take it seriously. Continue."
Seeing that the empress dowager looked normal, everyone smiled again, regardless of whether they believed it or not.
Then the music started and the dancing began.
After such a commotion, the Queen Mother didn't want to stay any longer, but if she left now, others would inevitably think too much.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to continue sitting.
Feeling like sitting on pins and needles and having a thorn in one's back.
Suddenly, there were sounds of fireworks and crackling sounds, meteors flying from time to time, bright bullets bursting out, and then thousands of flowers burst out, like a dragon leaping, like a phoenix flying, and finally lightning and thunder roared, and the sky was full of flowers.
Everyone looked up, and the fireworks in the sky were bright and dazzling.
Jiang Zhiyu also looked up. She hadn't seen fireworks since the end of the world.
When I heard the sound of firecrackers, I subconsciously thought it was gunshots or bombs.
Just now, the moment the voice sounded, her body tensed up involuntarily. Only when she realized that this was not the end of the world did she relax.
She withdrew her gaze and tilted her head slightly, just in time to meet He Yanting's eyes.
He Yanting didn't expect her to suddenly look away. His pupils trembled slightly, but the next moment, they returned to normal.
Jiang Zhiyu looked at him and asked with his mouth: How?
Jiang Zhiyu didn't say anything, but just chuckled. She moved her fingertips slightly, and the plum petals floated gently in front of He Yanting with her internal force.
One, two, three... they formed a smiling face and were placed in front of He Yanting.
There was a smile on He Yanting's face. With a wave of his hand, the smiling face on the table was hidden in his sleeve.
Their eyes met and then looked away.
The others: “…”
No, just pretend they don’t exist.
The fireworks lasted for half an hour. When the fireworks died down and everyone left, He Yanting suddenly stood up and walked out of the yard.
After a while, he brought someone back.
"Are you all idiots?!"
Someone who recognized the man exclaimed.
That's all stupid!
He is very good at painting figures, and his paintings are worth a fortune!
He Yanting stepped forward and said, "May you live a thousand years, and may spring come to you every year. Today is worth commemorating. I have thought about it for a long time, and the only way to fully record this moment is through a portrait."
After much thought, he felt that only Du Chi's painting skills were worth a try.
