Chapter 162: Let’s consummate our marriage while the fireworks are everywhere and the fire is raging!
"Pingling Jun requests an audience!"
Hear this sound.
The smile on Zhao Ji's face turned cold, and he waved his hand: "It's not time for him to say auspicious words yet, let him wait!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Li responded and hurried out of Chongli Palace.
Ying Wuji curled his lips. Under normal circumstances, a married young man like Zhao Qi would have to wait until the New Year's Eve dinner was almost over before coming over to say auspicious words. But this guy couldn't wait to come over before they even had the dinner.
The relationship between father and son was not particularly harmonious.
It doesn't look like I'll bring any good news this time.
It was my father-in-law who was decisive and simply didn't let him come over to avoid affecting his mood.
Given Zhao Qi's personality, he would probably be very angry while waiting.
Zhao Ji turned around and glanced at the table filled with sumptuous dishes, and said with a warm smile: "Let's eat!"
After saying that, he walked over slowly and was the first to sit down.
After he sat down, everyone took their seats one by one.
The king and queen mother sat side by side in the main seat.
The second on both sides are Ying Wuji and Li Caimei. After all, there is nothing strange about the fact that one is the Crown Princess and the other is the popular prince consort.
Although the two people were not sitting next to each other, they were sitting opposite each other, and their eyes met from time to time, and there was some tenderness and sweetness in their hearts.
On the other hand, the princesses were chattering about all kinds of interesting things while eating, not behaving like princesses of a big country at all.
Zhao Ji was much gentler than usual. He did not blame his daughters at all and even chatted with them from time to time, making the conversation quite interesting.
It didn't look like a royal dinner.
It seems more like a father who is a daughter slave, and the warm daily life with his daughters.
Ying Wuji looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling touched.
This should come from guilt!
Because of a decision she made when she was young, she was deprived of almost everything that princesses should have, and was left inferior to the daughters of ordinary families.
No matter how ruthless a king is, he still has a heart of flesh and blood.
well……
Amidst laughter and joy, the New Year’s Eve dinner soon came to an end.
It's said to be very fast, but looking at the time, it's actually been almost an hour.
Zhao Ji gave each of the princesses a copy of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio re-illustrated by a court painter. His expression became a little serious, and he looked at Eunuch Li beside him: "Let that rebellious son come over!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Li responded and hurried outside.
After a while, Zhao Qi strode up. When he saw Ying Wuji sitting next to Zhao Ji, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it cleverly.
He smiled, bowed to Zhao Ji, and presented a gift.
"Greetings, father! Today, the might of Dali is known all over the world. I have specially asked a famous artist to draw a painting of "Peace in the World" for you, father. With this painting by your side, in the future, Dali will surely..."
Auspicious words come one after another.
Ying Wuji was stunned by what he heard, thinking that this must be someone who grew up in an aristocratic circle. He kept repeating the same words, and each sentence was extremely gorgeous, which made the audience excited, as if with this "Picture of Peace and Prosperity in All Seas", the State of Li could directly dominate the world.
Of course, more people praised Zhao Ji's achievements.
That praise is so flattering.
If he hadn't spoken in a clear and loud voice, one would have thought he was a bootlicker with no skills at all.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be a book of some kind...
The auspicious words are really well said.
Zhao Ji also smiled and asked someone to hand over the scroll. He then looked at Ying Wuji: "Wuji! If you have the chance, learn from Zhao Qi. Don't just do things without saying polite words. Look at you just now. What else did you do besides eating and drinking?"
Ying Wuji grinned: "Okay! I will definitely watch carefully and learn well from now on!"
Hearing this.
Zhao Qi's face turned extremely pale, and he was choking and having trouble breathing.
What does it mean to only know how to do things but not be able to say a word of courtesy?
So I am the kind of person who only knows how to talk and can't do anything serious, right?
And the tone.
It is obviously the tone used to educate his son.
But Ying Wuji is clearly a son-in-law from the Gan Kingdom. Why should he enjoy this treatment?
Why was he able to sit next to his father during the New Year’s Eve dinner?
And I can only wait outside in the cold for an hour, and only after the New Year’s Eve dinner is over can I come in and say a few auspicious words?
Even my mother can only celebrate the New Year in her own bedroom!
I haven’t been able to enjoy these treatments since I was ten years old!
If that were all, that would be fine!
Zhao Qi couldn't understand why such a position as the chief academic officer of the Imperial Academy was given to an outsider, and even the proposal for political reform was handed over to this mere son-in-law?
Why?
Father, you owe me too much!
Zhao Ji looked at him with a smile: "I've accepted the gift. I like it very much. Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Qi's face was slightly stiff: "Father! No more!"
"Since there is nothing left, then go down and rest!"
Zhao Ji smiled and said meaningfully, "Da Li has been a bit chaotic recently. It's hard to have a quiet time during the New Year. Just take a good rest and don't let external affairs bother you."
Like caring.
More like banging.
Zhao Qi raised his head and saw Zhao Ji's seemingly kind eyes, but he felt an indescribable sense of suffocation in his chest.
