The seats in the hall were not divided into men's and women's sides, but each family sat in one area.
Zhao Lin, as the prime minister, took Ying Xixi and sat at the lower right corner closest to the high dragon throne.
Ying Xixi didn't need to look up, she could see the high position with her peripheral vision.
But the emperor had not arrived yet, and the throne was empty.
Ying Xixi took the opportunity to look around.
Officials such as the Minister of Justice, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, etc. were all there.
When the emperor comes later, she will expose what the Zhao family has done, and the Zhao family will definitely not be able to escape!
After sitting for a while, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard outside the hall, "The Emperor has arrived!"
The hall, which was originally filled with voices, immediately became quiet.
Everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"
Ying Xixi didn't have much concern about whether to kneel or not, and she followed the local custom and knelt down to pay her respects.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached from the palace gate not far away.
Ying Xixi thought that the emperor would only shout "Stand Up" when he was sitting on the dragon throne.
But then, she saw a pair of boots embroidered with gold edges falling in front of her.
"Look up."
A deep voice sounded above her head.
Ying Xixi: “???”
"Madam Prime Minister, His Majesty is speaking to you."
The eunuch beside her saw that she didn't move and whispered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xixi straightened her upper body, looked up at the emperor, and met his eyes that were full of interest and explicitness.
Xiao Xieyun has a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, bright red lips, and a cold white skin.
His fair skin made his lips look even redder, as if he had just eaten a child.
Especially with his eyes that showed no concealment of desire.
Ying Xixi felt that if there weren't so many people here, Xiao Xieyun might have just eaten her in a few bites.
Oh, that's not right.
There were already so many people here, but Xiao Xieyun could still come directly to her and ask her to look up.
From this we can see that Xiao Xieyun really does not care about the eyes and thoughts of his ministers.
From the above, it seems that Xiao Xieyun is really a tyrant.
Ying Xixi tried not to be afraid as she looked at Xiao Xieyun.
She wanted to see, in public, Xiao Xieyun asked her to raise her head, then what would happen next.
And then what will he do.
The two of them just stared at each other, and Ying Xixi noticed that the interest in Xiao Xieyun's eyes grew stronger, and the invisible desire seemed to have turned into a huge net that wrapped her whole body.
Just when she thought Xiao Xieyun would say something.
Xiao Xieyun raised the corners of his lips and gave her an evil smile, then looked away and strode towards the high position.
After he sat on the dragon throne, a voice of "Stand Up" was heard in the hall.
Everyone stood up and sat down one after another, but their hearts were still pounding.
Everyone was hoping that tonight's banquet would go smoothly.
Ying Xixi sat down next to Zhao Linjian. Zhao Linjian gave her an ambiguous look and asked her in a low voice.
"Have you met His Majesty before?"
Ying Xixi lowered her eyes without saying a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Zhao Lin was not annoyed when he didn't hear the answer.
I just started to have a bad feeling in my heart.
The banquet continued, and officials toasted each other, but the atmosphere remained low, and everyone seemed a little cautious.
Ying Xixi lowered her head and ate the fruit and pastry in front of her.
As expected of a royal family item, it’s truly delicious.
Of course, if Xiao Xieyun's eyes hadn't fallen on her, she would have thought the pastries tasted better.
