Chapter 261 Queen's Birthday Banquet



On this last day of the journey, King Zhao seemed a little anxious and kept speeding up, wanting to arrive quickly.

After arriving at Tiandu City, he hurried back to his own residence, saying that he had to go to the palace as soon as possible to report the news to the emperor so that he would be happy.

Mo Bai thought that Prince Zhao had gone directly into the palace, but now it seemed that Prince Zhao had washed up and taken a good rest before coming to the palace, so he was earlier than them.

"Mo Bai, this is your third brother, Mo Yu, you don't know him yet, right?"

After King Zhao finished speaking, he turned to Mo Yu and said, "Mo Yu, this is your second brother, and this person next to him is your second sister-in-law. You two brothers should get along well in the future."

King Zhao introduced the two of them and also introduced Su Qingyue.

Mo Ting bowed and said, "Second brother, Second sister-in-law, welcome back."

No matter what, Mo Yu would not have any inexplicable hostility towards his brother.

This first meeting, 놛 had a good impression of Mo Bai, so his attitude was not bad.

Mo Bai nodded, "Thank you!"

Su Qingyue also smiled and nodded as a greeting.

King Zhao said, "Let's go! Let's all go in."

Mo Yu nodded, and then said, "Today is our mother's birthday. Has Sixth Uncle prepared a gift like he did in previous years?"

When Mo Bai heard this, he looked at King Zhao calmly.

According to what we know, King Zhao seems to have a close relationship with the Queen.

The close relationship between the uncle and the sister-in-law was unusual, but the emperor didn't think there was anything wrong, which puzzled Mo Bai.

King Zhao smiled and said helplessly, "Of course I do, but your mother has always had very high standards, and she never likes the gifts I give her."

Talking about the Queen, the two seemed to have a common topic and talked a lot along the way.

Mo Bai and Su Qingyue followed quietly behind without saying a word.

When they reached the depths of the palace, King Zhao stopped and turned to Mo Bai and said, "You guys go to the Imperial Study to see His Majesty! Mo Yu and I will go to the palace banquet first."

Mo Bai nodded and just as he responded, a eunuch came running over and said, "Prince Zhao's Palace, Second Palace, Third Palace, His Majesty summons you to the palace banquet to meet him."

Hearing this, King Zhao's eyes dimmed and he felt a little reluctant, but he couldn't say anything.

"Okay, then we'll go to the palace banquet together."

The eunuch led the way, and several people followed to the palace banquet.

At this time, the emperor was not supposed to come to the palace banquet, but somehow he came suddenly. The queen couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and there was also a hint of surprise in her heart!

"Your Majesty, time flies! In a blink of an eye, I am already forty-two years old. You and I have known each other for four years, and most of my life has passed."

The queen looked at the face of the person beside her, her heart was moved, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

The emperor nodded calmly, his eyes far away and unfocused, not knowing what he was looking at. "Ah, ah! Time flies."

There was also a look of nostalgia in the emperor's eyes, and that look immediately made the smile in the queen's eyes disappear.

Her heart, which had just been warm, instantly turned cold again.

It’s true! No matter how much time has passed, there is still only that bitch in my heart.

She was too naive. She couldn't control her heart and started to look forward to it again when he showed just a little bit of goodness, not even goodness.

The queen's face turned cold, her fingers unconsciously clenched the cup, and she secretly mocked herself for being too stupid.

The atmosphere between the Emperor and the Empress was weird, and everyone around them was afraid to speak for a while.

The queen took a moment to calm down and returned to her previous indifference.

"Your Majesty has not come to my birthday banquet for several years. You suddenly came today. Is there anything special?"

The Queen spoke calmly, seemingly without any emotion.

The emperor turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes full of coldness.

"I am happy today, so I want to come and celebrate for you."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, which surprised everyone!

When the queen saw the smile on his face, her heart grew even colder. Her fingers gripping the wine glass tightened continuously, and she could no longer suppress her emotions.

"Your Majesty, why are you so happy? Can you please tell me so that I can be happy with you."

The queen gritted her teeth, her tone barely suppressing a hint of coldness.

The emperor didn't care. He looked at her with a smile and said, "The second son is coming back. I think he can catch up with your birthday party. You can see me again at the birthday party. It will also be the fate between you two. Is the queen happy about this news?"

The queen's eyes twitched. She couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, but she couldn't vent it. She was so depressed that her face turned purple.

"The Queen?"

"Why don't you speak?"

The emperor still looked at her with a smile, but that smile was like poison to the queen. Every time she looked at him, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

"I...I am very happy too."

The Queen smiled with her lips raised but there was no smile in her eyes as she looked at the Emperor and answered.

What the emperor wanted was not to make her really happy, what he wanted to see was the queen's current appearance.

The more the queen couldn't control her emotions, the happier she was, because it meant that she was very angry and furious.

"Well, that's good. I thought you were unhappy."

The emperor's smile grew wider, and his old face seemed younger because of the smile.

The queen pulled the corner of her mouth, avoided the emperor's gaze, then subconsciously raised the wine in the glass and drank it all.
