After the audience, the banquet was about to begin.
Azi was surrounded by palace maids and nannies in the Qianyuan Hall. She had changed into a solemn and gorgeous golden phoenix robe and wore a precious and exquisite phoenix crown on her head, with the golden phoenix spreading its wings as if about to take flight, lifelike.
Her makeup today needs to be heavier so that it can match the gorgeous and solemn phoenix robe.
This was the first time Azi had worn such a formal outfit; it was heavy, but beautiful. She looked at her new self in the mirror, admiring herself happily.
The palace servants around were also stunned by the beauty of the Empress before them. Normally, the Empress possessed a more refined and charming beauty, but now she was even more dignified and stunning. The Emperor was truly blessed with good fortune!
Qinghe exclaimed, "This servant has never seen anyone as beautiful as Your Highness!"
"Yes, Your Majesty's beauty is truly unmatched!"
"Her Majesty the Empress is beautiful no matter what!"
...Everyone showered her with praise, and Azi became a little embarrassed. Her face, already stained with rouge, now looked even more radiant.
"Your little mouths are the sweetest!" the beauty said coquettishly, causing all the palace maids to blush. No wonder the emperor couldn't resist, and they couldn't resist either!
One of the bold palace maids spoke up: "When the Emperor sees the Empress, he'll probably be too stunned to walk!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Azi smiled sweetly, wondering what Di Jingcheng was doing now; he must be very busy!
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Azi, a cheerful voice came from outside: "What are you talking about? You seem so happy!"
Emperor Jingcheng strode in, and everyone immediately fell silent and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
He stepped forward and took the girl's hands, his eyes filled with amazement and admiration. Qinghe quickly led everyone away, leaving the Emperor and Empress alone.
Azi showed off her new clothes, her pretty face full of pride: "Doesn't it look good?"
Di Jingcheng also admired her attentively, straightening her collar before pulling her into his arms: "Beautiful, my darling, you're beautiful no matter what! You're absolutely stunning today!"
Ah Zi happily looked up and kissed his handsome face. Her lipstick was applied thickly today, leaving a bright red lip print on his face. Upon seeing this, Ah Zi covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Di Jingcheng thoroughly enjoyed his darling's kiss, and seeing her so happy, he smiled along with her. Azi took out her handkerchief and gently wiped away the lip prints.
Di Jingcheng lowered his head to her, looking completely absorbed in the moment. His eyes were fixed on her, and seeing her earnest expression, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
He couldn't help but kiss Azi's small mouth. Azi deliberately moved back to avoid his kiss. Di Jingcheng kept pursuing her, and Azi fell onto the soft couch that was within reach. The man took the opportunity to envelop the girl's petite and exquisite body beneath him.
He grabbed her little hand and kissed it affectionately: "Baby, where can you run now?"
Azi struggled symbolically a few times: "Hmph, get up! Isn't the banquet about to start?" With that, she pushed the man on top of her.
Di Jingcheng smiled indulgently: "What's there to be afraid of? Let them wait if they want. Now... we have more important things to do."
Upon hearing this, Azi didn't react for a moment and innocently asked, "What?"
Di Jingcheng's eyes flickered. This little thing had no idea how alluring her innocent appearance was. His Adam's apple bobbed as he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
"Ah! You..." Azi's words were completely drowned out, leaving only unbearable passion.
Di Jingcheng lingered on her red lips, tasting quite a bit of her lipstick, until his own lips were also incredibly red.
Azi opened her eyes in a daze, still slightly out of breath. When she saw Di Jingcheng's "red lips," she couldn't help but giggle: "Even our wise and mighty emperor needs to use a woman's lip rouge!"
Di Jingcheng was completely mesmerized and didn't care about anything else: "My darling's lip rouge is so sweet, and your little mouth is even sweeter!"
Azi reached out and gently poked his handsome face: "Hmph, get up!"
Di Jingcheng, however, remained unmoved, and the next second he buried his face in her neck, kissing her passionately. Azi's body went limp from the kisses, and she weakly pressed against his chest like a kitten scratching its heart: "Don't do this, we...we...we should go..."
Di Jingcheng had already slipped one hand inside A Zi's clothes, her belt having been tossed aside at some point. After kissing her for a while, Di Jingcheng found the soft couch too small to make things easier, so he half-undressed himself and carried his disheveled little darling to the bed, then lowered the curtains.
The room was a scene of utter desolation. The magnificent dragon and phoenix robes were carelessly thrown onto the carpet, and the wind chimes on the dragon bed swayed, stirring the soul.
The palace servants outside the door were puzzled as to why the two inside hadn't come out for so long. Qinghe and Zheng He, fearing they were wasting time, decided to go in and check. However, just as they made up their minds, they heard some embarrassing sounds coming from inside.
The two quickly dismissed the palace servants at the door and obediently guarded the entrance.
The two argued for a while, but ultimately missed the start time of the banquet.
Everyone assumed that Emperor Jingcheng had done this intentionally, to give the emperor of Nanling and the emperors of the other two kingdoms a warning. The ministers of Xijing, however, had no objections. They felt that the emperor's actions were not wrong.
However, as time went on, Gong Yuhan's forced smile almost crumbled. Yang Mingyue wore a mocking expression, her eyes filled with provocation; Liu Xinqi, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, simply drinking and eating expressionlessly, as if everything at the banquet was irrelevant to him.
After Yang Mingyue took her seat, a veiled woman wearing a blue veil sat next to her, only revealing her large eyes, and followed obediently behind Yang Mingyue.
