Xiao Tang glanced at Zhao Binzhi, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Father, you are wise. I admire you."
Xiao Tang only felt sorry, but Xiao Jin was surprised by what Emperor Mingcheng said: "Father..."
"Please sit down." Emperor Ming Cheng was indeed a little annoyed when he saw that he was indeed a little annoyed. He supported his fifth son to ascend the throne, originally intending to restrain the crown prince, but this son not only caused him a lot of trouble, but now he was blatantly coveting his position as the Northwest Marshal. Could it be that he also wanted to follow Xiao Tang's example and find a force to threaten his throne?
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Xiao Jin didn't know why he was unhappy, so he could only sit down and look at Xiao Tangyun who was sitting opposite him.
Xiao Tang didn't touch the food and drinks on the table. When he noticed his gaze, he looked up and smiled slightly. This smile seemed quite complacent to Xiao Jin, which made him very angry.
Emperor Ming Cheng was now unsure of what his son was thinking. Looking at Cheng Zerui and Zhao Binzhi kneeling on the ground, he said, "Today is a celebration banquet. There is no need to mention this matter for now. After the banquet, I will investigate and give you justice. Go back and sit down."
The matter was undecided, and neither of them would be punished or rewarded. Cheng Ze Rui didn't know why the emperor suddenly changed his tone, so he could only pay his respects and sit back in his original seat. Zhao Binzhi also returned to his seat, but he didn't have the slightest smile on his face when he looked at Cheng Ze Rui.
The atmosphere at the celebration banquet was a bit dull, and the atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's palace was equally terribly dull. The Empress Dowager naturally could not attend the banquet. She had wanted to embroider at night and think about how to deal with Concubine Shu and others, but she did not expect that Lin Su, the Crown Princess who rarely even came to pay her respects, would suddenly visit.
Since he was here, the Queen naturally couldn't leave him alone. Instead, his sudden arrival made the Queen feel a little uneasy, because every time she met this person, nothing good happened. She still felt a lingering fear when she thought about the Buddhist scriptures she had recited a hundred times.
After tidying up and dressing, the queen welcomed Lin Su in and remained secretly on guard. After Lin Su bowed and sat down, he occasionally chatted with her, drank tea, and ate snacks, but his purpose was unclear.
The Empress Dowager had been on edge the entire time, and inevitably felt a little overwhelmed: "I wonder why the Crown Princess came here today?"
"I'm just bored at home and want to come and visit my mother. Don't you welcome me?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
The Queen Mother was genuinely shocked by his address. She said with a forced smile, "How could that be? I'm so happy to have you here."
"It's a pity that as Shuang'er, I can't come here every day, otherwise it would be bad for my mother's reputation." Lin Su said with a smile.
There was something hidden in his words, which was very refreshing, but I couldn't guess his purpose, so I could only accompany him patiently.
Lin Su sat there rather lazily, but he had to maintain his posture. With his back straight, his waist inevitably felt tired, but he couldn't reach out and pound it.
[Host, are you here to cause trouble?] 06 asked.
If the host wanted to find fault, he shouldn't be so leisurely.
"No, I'm just waiting for the Crown Prince's banquet to end." Lin Su said.
In the original world line, Xiao Tang had not moved out of the East Palace at this time, but he could not attend because of his poor health and the deliberate suppression of the queen mother and her son. Depressed, he went out for a trip, and then met the protagonist Ning Yin, who sneaked out of the palace banquet to avoid Ning Xiang.
This happened once in the original world line. If it is fate, I am afraid we will meet again. Since the stamp has been stamped, I naturally have to take my Shuang'er home honestly, otherwise the one who sends him home may become someone else.
Relationships naturally need to be carefully maintained. It’s not all good once you get them.
06Suddenly realized: [The host is now increasingly showing the potential to be a good husband. 】
"I wasn't that before?" Lin Su asked. Without waiting for 06 to answer, he smiled and said, "He would be happy if I acted this way."
I would have resorted to tricks when I didn't take the person seriously in the past. But now that I like you and take the person seriously, I don't need to do that anymore. Gentleness and understanding should naturally be reserved for the person I care about.
After some time, the Queen slowly shifted into her seat, and 06 reported, "Host, the palace banquet is over."
Lin Su stood up and said, "Mother, I remember that I have something else to do at home, so I will leave first. Please take care of yourself and don't worry about anything."
He was leaving without doing anything. The Queen was really confused, but she couldn't stop him. "What's the urgent matter, Crown Princess?"
Lin Su smiled and said, "I reckon His Royal Highness's palace banquet is about to end, so I can just run into him if I go now. You don't have to see me off, Mother."
He turned and left, leaving the Queen standing there staring at his back. Suddenly realizing why he came here, she said, "Does he think this is a teahouse?"
The palace maid beside her lowered her head silently and dared not speak.
The Empress Dowager slammed the table in anger, her chest heaving, but she was helpless and could only vent her anger on the teacups and plates that Lin Su had used to serve the snacks: "If I had known this would happen, I should have poisoned him to death. Take those dishes out and smash them to pieces for me!"
"Yes." The maid hurriedly cleared the dishes and took them out.
The imperial garden in the palace is very large. Tender green lotus leaves have already grown in the lake, but the lotus flowers have not yet appeared. Instead, the other flowers are blooming beautifully. A rockery has been built next to the lake.
The night was extremely dark, and even if a few people hid inside, they would not be easily discovered. Ning Yin was lying on the top of the rockery with a grass root in his mouth. He had witnessed several shameful things in the palace in one night.
There were secret meetings between palace maids and guards, tokens being delivered, and some hiding and passing by this place. If he had encountered such things in the past, he would have been panicked, but after two years in the army and learning martial arts, he was no longer someone these eunuchs and palace maids could easily detect and deal with.
He was curious about what he saw and felt that it was much more pleasant to enjoy the scenery here than to stay in the hall. He didn't know whether General Cheng could stand the sour words from the court officials.
Just as I was thinking about the palace banquet, I heard the sound of the banquet ending from afar, and the eunuch's voice of the emperor setting off was very long.
Ning Yin originally waited for a while, thinking of avoiding his father and leaving with Cheng Ze Rui. After waiting for such a while, when he stood up, he heard voices again.
"Is he really here?" The voice of the visitor was gentle, as comfortable as a spring breeze on your face.
With such a good voice, people naturally expect that person to have a good appearance that matches the voice.
Ning Yin turned his head to look, but his eyes were fixed on it. The moonlight was bright, and it shone on the white clothes of the man without any sense of abruptness. His face was like jade, his temperament was like the moon, and the breeze occasionally blew his clothes, making him feel like a moon immortal who had sneaked down to the mortal world.
His breath trembled, Xiao Tang's steps paused for a moment, and he looked up at the rockery: "Who's there?"
