There was singing and dancing in the Funing Palace.

Yu Zhaoyi's dance was passionate and unrestrained, which made people's hearts beat faster and faster. Emperor Yong was distracted while watching her.

She also danced like this by the Yuhua Lake, which is separated from the Funing Palace by a garden.

But her dancing is so graceful and beautiful that it makes people addicted to it.

No matter how many people in this world look like her, no one can have half of her charm.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong suddenly felt that the dance in front of him became boring.

Yu Zhaoyi's eyes looked around as her body spun. She was dancing well at first, but suddenly she saw something and her body tilted slightly, almost ruining her dance.

When Liu Lu, who was waiting outside the hall, saw this scene, her heart almost jumped out of her throat!

Fortunately, Yu Zhaoyi had solid dancing skills and added a move in time to avoid making a fool of herself in such an important occasion.

After the dance, Yu Zhaoyi thanked the emperor politely.

Emperor Yong lost his initial interest. He just raised his lips, praised him indifferently, and gave some gifts.

Yu Zhaoyi thanked him profusely, but when she returned to the side hall to change clothes, her eyes were red.

While Liu Lu was helping Yu Zhaoyi change her clothes, she said distressedly, "My queen, please don't let your makeup get ruined by crying."

Yu Zhaoyi felt aggrieved. "I have been rehearsing for a long time for today's palace banquet. I even wore out several pairs of shoes."

"But Liu Lu, am I not beautiful enough? Am I not a good dancer? Otherwise, why is there someone else in his eyes and heart!"

Liu Lu wiped the tears from Yu Zhaoyi's eyes with concern and said softly:

"Our queen is a fairy-like figure, who wouldn't be happy to see her? It's just that with so many eyes watching at the palace banquet today, it's inconvenient."

Liu Lu's words finally comforted Yu Zhaoyi. She thought about it carefully and then burst into laughter.

"Liu Lu's words make sense. Have you made your appointment?"

Liu Lu nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, we have made an appointment. I have made this very serious, and I believe it will be taken seriously."

Yu Zhaoyi's face was full of anticipation when she heard this. "My dear Liu Lu, you are still the best to me. I have waited for this day for too long."

When Yu Zhaoyi returned to the palace banquet, she was as charming as ever.

It was already time for lunch, and delicious food was served in a continuous stream. The palace servants were waiting to serve wine and dishes at any time.

Liuyun had been guarding behind the Second Prince. When the eunuch serving the dishes handed a bowl to Liuyun, he took the opportunity to whisper something.

Liuyun's expression suddenly changed. After he realized what was happening, he quickly pretended nothing had happened.

She bowed and walked forward, and while serving food to the Second Prince, she whispered something.

There was toasting all around, and the Third Prince, who was closest to the table, left early. Otherwise, Liuyun would not have dared to take the risk of passing on the message at this moment.

The second prince heard something and his eyelids suddenly opened, but then closed again very quickly.

His face was gloomy, revealing a hint of coldness, and then he nodded slightly.

Qiao Jiaojiao had been sent back to Madam Qiao's arms. Madam Qiao was not allowed to prepare food for the palace banquet, so she could only pick out some soft and light-tasting food to feed Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao ate with gusto. She was not picky about food and it turned out that the food at the palace banquet was quite delicious!

But while she was eating, her big eyes were not quiet and kept rolling around.

This time, she happened to see the Second Prince's maid and the eunuch who served the dishes whispering to each other secretly.

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't know who had harmed the Fourth Prince, it was always right to keep an eye on the male protagonist!

In the original novel, the plot of the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet was mainly to gild the heroine Meng Guxue, allowing her to become famous and successfully enter the royal family's vision.

As for other twists and turns, there was no mention at all!

At least from Meng Guxue's perspective, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet went very smoothly, but at the end of the banquet, the tragic news came that the fourth prince had drowned...

[The male protagonist is indeed a bit tricky! Although I don’t know if he has anything to do with the death of Silly Bai Tian, ​​it’s always right to bite him! 】

When the Qiao family heard this, they all became secretly alert.

Today is also the Fourth Prince's birthday. Emperor Yong doesn't care about it, but Huang Pei is thoughtful and prepared a gift for Emperor Yong early on.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Eunuch Huang quietly reminded Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong was reminded of his worries by Yu Zhaoyi's dance. He just wanted to go back to the imperial study and talk to Yu Liu as soon as possible, so he said perfunctorily:

"Little Fourth, today is also your birthday. Father hopes that you will think carefully and act diligently in the future, strive for perfection, and be a good and motivated child."

When the Fourth Prince heard this, he couldn't help but feel flattered.

He immediately stood up from behind the desk, walked to Emperor Yong, and bowed properly.

"I will never forget your teachings, thank you so much!"

The five-year-old child knelt there respectfully. Even though he had been sad and disappointed, he could not suppress his admiration and respect for his father.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she sighed secretly.

[If Emperor Yong knew that this was the last time he would talk to Silly Bai Tian, ​​would he still be so official and emotionless? ]

Eunuch Huang stepped forward respectfully, handed a square brocade box to the Fourth Prince, and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, this is the birthday gift that His Majesty prepared for you."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince could not help but smile sweetly even though he had tried his best to behave dignified and proper.

"Thank you, Father!"

The Queen Mother looked at the Fourth Prince sitting under the seat, her heart softened and sour.

This child is actually very precocious. He must know everything, but he still has expectations for the emperor.

"One gift for every year of age, Xiao Si. This is a gift from your mother. I hope you will be happy, safe, brave and healthy in the future."

A mother’s blessing is always gentle and tolerant. She does not ask for her children to be rich or successful, but only for their well-being.

The Fourth Prince blushed slightly. What his mother said was as if she was treating him as a child!

"Thank you, mother!"

The prince walked straight forward and personally hung a jade pendant on the fourth prince's waist belt.

His eyebrows were gentle and his face was full of doting.

Xiao Si is the source of joy for him and his mother, and the most precious treasure in the world.

"Brother hopes that Xiao Si will soon become a man of integrity and ability!"

The prince knew that this was Xiao Si’s wish.

But in the heart of his brother, he hopes that he can always protect Xiao Si and let him live a worry-free life.

The fourth prince looked at the jade pendant around his waist and recognized that it was the one his brother often wore. It was his brother’s favorite jade pendant!

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince was delighted. If he had not been in front of others, he would have been impatient to throw himself into the Crown Prince's arms.

"Xiao Si thanks Brother Prince!"

Next, the second prince and two young masters presented gifts, and the court officials said a lot of nice words.

In this way, lunch was finished.

After Emperor Yong finished his closing remarks, he left in a grand manner with the palace servants, just as he had come.

The Queen stayed behind to greet the ladies.

At this time, the Fourth Prince came to Qiao Jiaojiao happily.
