Chapter 56 Emperor's Birthday
That night, Jamel Xiao broke into the restricted area without any surprise.
However, during this time of integration, the two of them put the four words "the joy of love" into practice thoroughly.
Because the whole process was done in water, even though Xiao Jingheng thought Song Zhao had her period, it did not dampen his interest at all.
At first, Song Zhao tried to persuade him, saying that there was a saying in the palace that "seeing blood is not good", and he refused to do so.
After hearing this, Xiao Jingheng joked in a nonsensical way:
"There is no taboo. If seeing red is unlucky, why do people put up red and colorful decorations everywhere during the New Year?"
It can be seen that as an emperor, he does not need to abide by the rules when doing whatever he wants.
So if you can truly become the one in his heart, then all the constraints and rules will be just for show.
Of course, Song Zhao also wanted to be a 'free' person, so she knew how to hold Xiao Jingheng's heart.
After the boudoir secrets were completed, Xiao Fuzi sent Xiao Jingheng to the imperial carriage and then returned, whispering to Song Zhao:
"My lady, Imperial Physician Zhao has been dismissed and banished from the palace."
Song Zhao sat in front of the dressing table, taking out the Fairy Jade Girl Powder to mix with her face, and asked casually:
"What's the crime?"
Xiao Fuzi said, "I heard that he made a mistake when prescribing medicine for Concubine Yun, and he was demoted because of his poor medical skills."
Song Zhao sneered, "Even Imperial Physician Zhao dared to make mistakes when serving Concubine Yun, which shows how poor his medical skills are. So when he took my pulse, he mistook it for a pregnancy pulse, which is 'excusable'."
Song Zhao knew that Doctor Zhao was demoted from the palace just to find a pretext to accuse him of a crime.
After being pointed out by Concubine Chen, Concubine Yun was naturally afraid that her crime would be exposed, so she withdrew her actions in a hurry.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Song Zhao wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Xiao Jingheng the news of her pregnancy at his birthday party.
This matter was originally planned by Concubine Yun to plot against Song Zhao.
In the end, her plan failed and she was exposed in front of the queen.
After all this time, she gained nothing except proving that she was a complete idiot.
When Song Zhao finished mixing the noodles, Xiao Fuzi smiled and said while helping her rinse her mouth:
"My lady, your guess is correct. The emperor rarely comes to our palace at night, but he came today."
Song Zhao smiled and didn't respond.
At first, Song Zhao was just speculating whether Xiao Jingheng would come tonight.
Thinking that the Queen would definitely tell Xiao Jingheng about what happened today in order to bring down Concubine Chen, she was sure that she would.
Song Zhao thought that if Xiao Jingheng really came because he missed her, then she would have to give him some good food.
After all, the key point of "receiving but also accepting" is on "accepting" rather than "rejecting".
If you want to control a man's heart, you must first be able to relax and be able to control yourself.
This is the same as fishing.
A fishing line that is too tight will easily break, and one that is too loose will easily fall off the hook. If you want to hook a big fish, it's a complicated matter.
Let Xiao Fuzi stand guard in advance. If Xiao Jingheng comes to Yaohua Palace, let him imitate the cuckoo's call three times outside the door to inform everyone.
When Song Zhao heard the birds singing, he immediately asked Yunshan to go out to get some hot water, thinking that if she went out at this time, she would definitely meet Xiao Jingheng.
Based on Song Zhao's understanding of Xiao Jingheng, he is not a rigid and uninteresting person.
Then as long as Xiao Jingheng comes in, tonight will be a carefully planned "bathroom fragrance",
Men,
I have to give him a different experience so that he can distinguish himself from other women.
The memory is deeper, more firmly, and with endless aftertaste.

Two days later, on September 16,
After such a long period of preparation, the palace finally welcomed Xiao Jingheng’s birthday.
On this day, the entire palace was decorated in a festive manner, with red and colorful decorations, and it looked even more lively than during the New Year's Day.
Xiao Jingheng takes a rest today,
He got up in the morning and took the empress to the imperial mausoleum outside the capital to pay homage to his ancestors. After returning to the palace, he went to pay his respects to the empress dowager.
Speaking of the Queen Mother, he has never met her since Song Zhao entered the palace.
The Queen Mother's health has not been good. She has been recuperating in Xianshou Palace and has never left the palace.
In order to allow her to recuperate, the concubines were exempted from paying respects to her in the palace on weekdays.
However, I heard from the old people in the palace that the Queen Mother was easy-going and tolerant by nature, and was a very easy-going master to get along with.
In the afternoon, the concubines dressed up in their best clothes and went to the Tonghua Terrace where the birthday banquet was to be held to wait.
Song Zhao went there with Concubine Yao. Concubine Yao was a very cautious person in everything she did. Today, she even dragged Song Zhao to the table half an hour earlier, for fear that something might go wrong and they would be delayed.
Later, the concubines entered one after another.
Unexpectedly, Shu Fei, who had been sad for a long time because of her miscarriage, also came today.
She looked much better, no longer complaining about herself, and a smile appeared on her face again.
As soon as she arrived, she became the focus of the whole place. Everyone gathered around her and greeted her insincerely or hypocritically.
Concubine Chen was also a person who had lost a child. Although she looked down on Concubine Shu, the two of them could be said to share the same suffering, so she also expressed symbolic concern for Concubine Shu.
After the people surrounding Shu Fei had almost dispersed, Song Zhao went over to pay his respects to her.
"May your Majesty Shu Fei be well. Seeing your Majesty looking radiant today, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart. The past cannot be brought back. Your Majesty is a very blessed person, and good days are still ahead."
Shu Fei smiled and nodded, "I appreciate your words. Li did such a thing to me and my son before, it is not a pity that she died. But I heard that you were wronged that day. Fortunately, the emperor cleared your name, otherwise I would be uneasy if you were implicated in this matter again."
The two chatted for a while, and then thought it was almost time to sit down.
At today's birthday banquet, the concubines all took their seats according to their respective positions.
The first seat was naturally Xiao Jingheng, and the second seat was the Queen.
However, they had not arrived yet, and the four concubines, led by Concubine Chen, took their seats one after another.
Song Zhao sat next to Xiao Changzai and Liu Chang.
After what happened last time, Xiao Changzai's voice hadn't fully recovered yet and still sounded a little hoarse.
"I heard that several princes who have a close relationship with the emperor will also be here today?"
Liu Changzai glanced around the hall and said, "That's what I said, but the banquet is almost about to start, why is there no one here?"
Before she finished her words, she heard several loud men's laughter coming from outside the palace door.
Song Zhao looked in the direction of the voice.
Three men came in, talking and laughing.
These three people were all wearing dragon robes, and their identities were self-evident.
What caught Song Zhao's attention was the man walking in the middle.
He looked very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, thin lips and white teeth, and was very handsome.
The hem of the dragon robe he was wearing was slightly turned up, and he casually tucked it into the white jade waistband around his waist.
But he didn't look sloppy. Compared with the two princes next to him who were dressed neatly, he seemed more casual.
He was calm and confident when talking and laughing with others, his laughter was hearty, and his every move was quite arrogant.
In terms of appearance, he and Xiao Jingheng are on par with each other.
But he lacks some of Xiao Jingheng's calm and majestic style, and instead has more of his unique unruly and ruffian spirit.
Xiao Changzai whispered, "Who is that prince in the middle? His court dress is not even neatly dressed."
Liu Changzai said, "It looks like the Sixth Master, Prince An. The Sixth Master and the Emperor were raised together by the Queen Mother since they were young, and the two have the deepest brotherly love. He is used to being casual, but the Emperor always dotes on him and never argues with him about such trivial matters."
Song Zhao was looking at her, and Prince An glanced at her inadvertently, and his eyes happened to meet hers.
He put the tip of his tongue against his chin and smiled lightly, nodding slightly to Song Zhao.
He looked just like those low-class hooligans in the city.
Song Zhao did not respond to him. He quickly looked away and continued chatting and laughing with Xiao Changzai and the others.
(P.S.: Turn back, there is another update.)
