As an emperor who loved eating, drinking and having fun and didn't like dealing with memorials to the emperor and state affairs, his favorite things were new things and beautiful women.
It can be said that the fact that the State of Yan could persist for so long under the rule of Emperor Yanqing and still maintain the superficial strength of a great power was all due to the good governance of the late emperor when he was alive, as well as the loyal minister General Zhou and his loyal soldiers who worked hard to defend the country at the border.
The news that the emperor had decided to invite the troupe to perform in the palace spread throughout the palace, and the performance was set to take place in the imperial garden.
At that time, in addition to the guards on patrol at fixed points, there will also be eunuchs and palace maids on duty at fixed points, and everyone will be able to enjoy it.
Eunuch An worked with Eunuch Li and had a first-rate seat for watching performances.
A few days ago, Eunuch An asked Chu Qi if she wanted to go with him. Not only could she get close to the emperor and show her face in front of him, but she could also watch the rare excitement up close. It was a rare and good job.
...Chu Qi didn't want to have any contact with the emperor. Throughout history, serving an emperor is like serving a tiger. Her life now is very good.
In the original plot, the original owner did not have Chu Qi's ability to hypnotize Eunuch An. At Xiang Fei's birthday party, Eunuch An did not let the original owner go. Now, Chu Qi naturally would not go either, to avoid causing trouble.
She declined Eunuch An's invitation and recommended Xiao Baozi instead.
Xiao Baozi was almost dying of envy. He didn't expect that Xiao Wuzi would be willing to give up this rare opportunity. He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. As soon as Eunuch An left, he immediately took Chu Qi's hand and called him "Fifth Brother" affectionately and flatteringly.
"Don't call me Brother Bao anymore. You are my brother!" he said excitedly.
Chu Qi asked innocently, "Brother Bao, aren't you 15 this year?"
Xiao Baozi was stunned: "I'm seventeen."
"That's right, I'm only 15, I should call you Brother Bao, and you can just call me Fifth Brother."
"Fifth brother!" Little Baozi nodded heavily, moved and said, "You treat me well, and I will not treat you unfairly. I will see if I can steal some delicious food for you. I heard that the food at the palace banquet is delicious, and I haven't tasted it yet!"
Isn't this the same as taking away food after a banquet in modern times? Chu Qi's mouth twitched, "No need, Brother Bao, just eat it yourself. Be careful not to be discovered while eating and taking it."
…
Early December.
Xiang Fei's birthday banquet was held as scheduled, and Shi Qiang, as a concubine, also had the opportunity to attend the banquet.
This opportunity can be said to be Shi Qian's second chance to meet the emperor.
The first time was during the talent show. However, when it was her turn, the emperor had already left, so she did not see the emperor at that time.
After nearly two months, she finally had the chance to see Shengyan. Logically, she should be excited.
However, her mind couldn't help but think of that night, Xiao Wuzi's tearful and breathtakingly beautiful face.
