Chapter 26: The Hongmen Banquet
The ginger soup flowed over his warm lips, and Song Huaixi swallowed it before he could react.
There was a light spicy taste between her lips and teeth. She put her hands on Zhao Fangye's shoulders and lowered her head to kiss him.
Song Huaixi's eyes were blurry and his waist was so weak that he could hardly stand.
She sat on Zhao Fangye's legs, and her waist was instantly restrained by a pair of big hands. Zhao Fangye fed me a whole bowl of ginger soup while I was still in a daze.
After a long time, Zhao Fangye let go of his lips and kissed him on the forehead.
Song Huaixi was still in a daze, with her arms around his neck and moving upwards.
Like it’s still not enough.
This time Zhao Fangye did not stop him. He allowed him to touch his lips intimately and held his waist, enjoying the tenderness.
Some things are hard to end once they start, just like what happened to him with Song Huaixi.
Taste the marrow and you will know its taste.
After being in love for a long time, Song Huaixi finally stopped. Leaning on Zhao Fangye's shoulder and playing with his slender fingers.
Song Huaixi was born slow-witted and didn't think anything of this behavior.
For him, it was just following his heart, but in Zhao Fangye's eyes, it was a naked provocation.
Restraining his inner emotions and interlacing his fingers, Zhao Fangye placed his head on top of Song Huaixi's head: "I haven't seen you come to the study to write in these days, what have you been doing?"
Zhao Fangye has been very busy lately and is usually in his study.
Song Huaixi, who used to stick by his side, hasn't come often these days.
"I'm reading a comic book and playing with the little wolf."
Song Huaixi leaned in his arms and complained softly, "The study is so cold. My hands hurt every time I go to write."
He hated the cold the most. The stinging feeling of cold made him feel very uncomfortable.
Zhao Fangye was used to living in the northwest, so the coldness in the capital was nothing to him.
Therefore, there was not much charcoal fire burning in the study.
Song Huaixi is different, he is afraid of the cold. My limbs become cold when winter comes. He couldn't stand the slightest bit of cold, so he preferred to stay in his bedroom which was warmed by the heating of the underground heating system.
Listening to his complaints, Zhao Fangye said with a doting tone: "Huai Xi is afraid of the cold, so can I order people to add more stoves? Is Huai Xi coming?"
“I’m coming!”
Song Huaixi agreed immediately. If the study wasn't too cold, he would also like to stay with Zhao Fangye.
As the two were talking, Wang Bo came outside the door and asked, "Your Majesty, there is an oral order from the palace."
When he heard that it was the palace, Zhao Fangye's good mood disappeared.
He frowned slightly and said to the person outside the door, "Come in."
Uncle Wang walked into the room and saw the two of them hugging each other, and he was secretly happy.
He calmed down and said, "There's a verbal order from the palace, saying that you and the princess are to attend the New Year's Eve banquet tomorrow."
"I know." Zhao Fangye's eyebrows were cold.
After listening to their conversation, Song Huaixi was very eager to attend the palace banquet: "Do you want to attend the banquet? It sounds like fun!"
He had never been to a party before, as usually only his father was allowed to attend.
Poking his little head, Zhao Fangye said calmly: "Who said you didn't like the palace last time you came back from it? Did you forget it so quickly?"
With his reminder, Song Huaixi's expectations were immediately shattered. Thinking of his last experience, he still felt a little scared. There were so many bad people in the palace, and he didn't like them.
So she lay in his arms frustratedly and said sullenly, "Then I don't want to go."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Zhao Fangye didn't care.
He would definitely not let go of what he did to the prince that night, especially since he was still under house arrest. The emperor asked him to attend the palace banquet at this time, and he must have wanted to make trouble for him.
It’s a Hongmen Banquet, it’s better for Song Huaixi not to go.
There were too many dirty things in the palace, and he didn't want Song Huaixi's clean eyes to see them.
Early the next morning, Zhao Fangye got up and prepared to attend the palace banquet.
Song Huaixi was still sleeping soundly on the bed and noticed that there was no one beside him. He mumbled a few words in his sleep. The little face is so rosy when she sleeps, which makes people feel soft-hearted. Zhao Fangye reached out to tuck the quilt in for him, put on his court clothes, and turned to leave the yard.
Sitting in the carriage, preparing to set off for the palace.
Suddenly, he was stopped by Nanny Zhang who came from the mansion.
Song Huaixi ran out in a panic and stood beside the carriage: "Zhao Fangye! I want to go too!"
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Fangye lifted the car curtain and looked at him, already fully dressed. He was puzzled: "Why? Have you changed your mind?"
Without saying much, Song Huaixi got into the carriage with the help of Adjutant Sun.
Getting into the carriage, Song Huaixi held Zhao Fangye's arm and sat down.
He remembered what the nanny had told him.
I must not bring shame to Zhao Fangye.
Originally he didn't plan to attend, but Nanny Zhang said that if he didn't go, the bad guys would use this as an excuse to bully Zhao Fangye.
I, my parents and my brother may also be bullied.
Thinking of this, he had to go to the palace no matter how scared he was.
He wants to protect Zhao Fangye, his parents and his brother.
Not knowing what he was thinking, Zhao Fangye thought he was just playing around. Since he had never seen the banquet before and wanted to go with them, I just let him do it.
The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate.
Various carriages were parked at the palace gate, and many officials brought their families into the palace for the banquet.
The particularly luxurious carriage of Prince Ning's Mansion slowly stopped at the palace gate, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
There was a look of inquiry in his eyes.
After all, Zhao Fangye's strength cannot be underestimated with the support of the prime minister, and he also has military power. If he wants to compete with the crown prince for the throne, he is equally matched.
He even has a slight advantage over the Crown Prince.
Now that the prince is dissolute and immoral, they also want to see what Zhao Fangye’s attitude towards the prince is.
However, he had only been in Beijing for a few days when he was granted a male wife in marriage. He also failed to attend court without reason and was ordered to be under house arrest.
This time, Prince Ning attended the banquet, which made everyone even more curious.
Zhao Fangye got off the carriage first, then reached out to the carriage and led Song Huaixi down.
The moment Song Huaixi got off the carriage, everyone's gazes on him became even more wanton.
"Why are they looking at us..."
Sensing the gazes around him, Song Huaixi felt inexplicably uneasy and hid timidly behind Zhao Fangye.
Putting his arm around his shoulders to comfort him, Zhao Fangye's sharp eyes glanced at the people around him.
Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked away.
"Don't worry about it, just follow me." She took his hand and walked into the palace gate.
After being taken to the banquet and seated, Song Huaixi was immediately attracted by the food in front of him.
He swallowed and couldn't move his eyes away.
Noticing his subtle movements, Zhao Fangye couldn't help but curl his lips.
What a greedy little cat.
She bent her fingers and stroked the tip of his nose: "Eat it. Don't worry."
"Really?" Song Huaixi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Will it cause you trouble?"
The nanny repeatedly reminded him before leaving, telling him not to cause any trouble for Zhao Fangye.
Hearing this, Zhao Fangye chuckled and said, "No matter how much trouble you cause, I can afford it. Besides, it's just a cake."
After hearing what he said, Song Huaixi felt completely relieved and concentrated on eating the pastries in front of him. His cheeks are puffy like a little mouse.
When he eats something delicious, Song Huaixi will feed a piece to Zhao Fangye.
He didn't care at all that this was in public.
However, Zhao Fangye ignored their gazes and opened his mouth to take the food from Song Huaixi.
The ministers in the hall were a little confused when they saw their interaction. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the attitude of a man who is granted marriage be this?
But judging from Prince Ning's appearance, he seems to be quite fond of this male concubine.
A look of resentment flashed in the eyes of the prince sitting on the throne. Although he was drunk that day, he remembered Zhao Fangye's face clearly.
Pinching his wrist which was slightly painful from being stepped on by Fangye under the table, Zhao Jingshuo looked at the two of them with anger burning in his chest.
He will never give up.
Isn't it because he has the military power that he is so arrogant? Let's wait and see today.
