After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 455: Grandfather, boil some water for me

Zhao Ying understood immediately and waited with a blank expression.

Emperor Jianxi arrived soon, and everyone stood up to greet him. "Your Highness, long live the emperor!"

"Be flat!"

Emperor Jianxi subconsciously helped the empress up, but a strange hand suddenly appeared in front of him.

Emperor Jianxi and the Empress looked over together. Concubine Gang first glanced at the Empress provocatively, and then looked at Emperor Jianxi lovingly.

"His Majesty……"

The queen stood up on her own. A trace of heartache suddenly flashed across Emperor Jianxi's eyes. Then he gritted his teeth and pulled up Concubine Gang.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..."

Concubine Qi said shyly, "Your Majesty is very busy, it's okay for me to wait for a while."

Seeing that the emperor and the empress ignored each other, Concubine Gang reminded them, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The empress was invited by me and did not deliberately ignore the emperor's will. If you want to punish me, please punish me!"

"How can I bear to punish you? Ahem...?"

Emperor Jianxi coughed for a while, then looked at the queen with a cold face, "Now that you have come out, you have come out. If you do it again, I will never let you off easily!"

"Humph!" A sneer suddenly broke out from the crowd.

Emperor Jianxi frowned and looked over, "Noble Concubine Rong?"

Imperial Concubine Rong didn't even glance at Emperor Jianxi. She bowed perfunctorily, "I feel a little unwell, so I'll go back first. Your Majesty and your new lover can take care of it yourselves!"

King Liang was horrified when he saw this, and quickly apologized, "Father, please forgive me, mother is just..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Rong scolded.

Concubine Rong was confident because of her excellent family background. She also felt that her son was not capable of becoming the crown prince, so she didn't even want to fight for the position of heir. Did she still need to beg the emperor for help?

She does not compete for favor, has a son by her side, her family is powerful, and she is the emperor's old concubine. She has seniority, so what is she afraid of?

She had a very good personal relationship with the Queen and naturally could not bear to see the Queen being humiliated.

The queen now has no family to support her and has lost favor. She is truly pitiful.

Upon seeing this, the queen also knelt down to beg for mercy. As she knelt, Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi also knelt.

Concubine Gang's eyes were gloomy and she sneered in her heart. This sister Shangguan Shifan was really as annoying as before.

Wei Zhen used to be very versatile and all the noble ladies had close personal relationships with her. They either admired her talent or wanted to curry favor with her status, but Shangguan Rong was an exception.

Although Shangguan Rong was born into a noble family and was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, at that time the Duke's Mansion had not yet achieved the merit of following the dragon and was not that noble. However, she was fearless and everyone else flattered her, but she didn't!

Although Concubine Qi was unwilling in her heart, she had to admit that Concubine Rong had the capital. Although her son was not outstanding, it was precisely because of her son's incompetence that her status was extremely noble and she was not suspected.

Her brother, her nephew, is too important, an old minister who grew up with the emperor. Isn’t she aware of the relationship between Shangguan Shifan and Zhao Rui?

One is a powerful official who holds a large number of troops.

Xier said that if Shangguan Shu could not be used by him, he would have to be discarded.

Now, she also wants to win over Shangguan Shu.

She couldn't help but think of Zhao Ying. If Zhao Ying was a sensible child, would her brother have to worry about her so much?

But fortunately, the two of them divorced, so she could find someone who was easy to control and marry him to Shangguan Shu.

Concubine Gang also knelt down and pleaded for Concubine Rong in order to let the old Duke and Shangguan Shu see it.

As expected, as soon as she begged for mercy, Emperor Jianxi said, "Since it is my beloved concubine who is begging for mercy, I will not disturb my beloved concubine's interest. Concubine Rong, if you want to leave, go ahead. Don't come to Xuanyang Palace again in the future."

Concubine Rong sneered and stood up, "I obey your order!"

After Concubine Rong left, Prince Liang and Princess Liang could no longer stay and left together.

When everyone saw this, they had different expressions. Some looked at the queen with sighs and pity. They understood that the queen's situation was really hopeless.

Maybe he really loved her, but the queen was old and ugly, and a young and beautiful woman who looked similar to her appeared by the emperor's side. How could he not favor her?

Zhao Xi stood up, walked forward to help the queen up, but did not dare to look up at her.

He may be the most heartless, unfilial and unfraternal son in the world.

In order to get revenge, he even ignored his own mother.

He also didn't expect that his father would really change his heart so completely, so...ruthlessly.

The huge regret and guilt almost overwhelmed him.

Zhao Xi was absent-minded throughout the entire banquet and did not notice the vague glances that Emperor Jianxi gave him.

Zhao Ying sent people to call Shangguan Ersansi three times, and Shangguan Qingyue did not come back. When he asked the three children, they all hesitated.

She thought the little guy hadn't even had breakfast and must be starving, so she hurried to look for him.

It happened that Concubine Gui had the divine bird, the peacock, brought over so that they could enjoy it together.

Shangguan Qingwan stopped Zhao Ying and said, "Mother, let's finish watching the peacock before going to find Yue'er!"

Shangguan Bailin swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "Yes, I'm hungry anyway, so I don't care about it for a while."

Shangguan Qiyou was held in Shangguan Shu's arms and nodded when he heard the voice.

"Yue'er said that she is tired of the palace banquet and wants to eat something new!"

Emperor Jianxi, who was at the top of the table, found it funny when he heard this, "Qi You, did Yue'er tell you this in person?"

"Replying to the Emperor's grandmother, this is what she said!"

Emperor Jianxi complained, "Is there anything she is tired of eating?"

Emperor Jianxi felt a little frustrated. What happened? His imperial kitchen couldn't attract his granddaughter?

Concubine Xiang interrupted, "Your Majesty, please come with me to appreciate the peacocks!"

Concubine Xiang raised her voice, "I heard that this peacock is very spiritual. If it sees someone of noble status, it will spread its tail feathers, which are colorful and very beautiful!"

Everyone was instantly interested.

Concubine Gang added, "Your Majesty and the Empress are real dragons and real phoenixes. They can definitely make the peacock spread its tail. I'm just afraid that the dragon is real and the phoenix is ​​fake!"

It was obvious that Concubine Xiang had some hidden agenda, and the people below couldn't afford to offend anyone, so they all kept silent and dared not agree.

Zhao Ying wanted to refute, but was stopped by Shangguan Qingwan, who winked at her playfully.

Zhao Ying was just wondering when she heard a noise outside.

"Young lady, you can't do this!"

"Young lady, please let go!"

"Get out of the way! Don't stop me!" The little guy's clear voice came from outside, and everyone looked over when they heard the voice.

There was a lot of noise outside the palace, with the noise of little kids and palace maids, and the occasional bird calls.

Why do birds sing?

Still heart-wrenching...

"Miss..."

Deng Deng Deng!

The little fellow grunted as he stepped over the threshold, his bun in a mess, his round belly protruding, beads of sweat on his face. He held a big bird's neck tightly with both hands and dragged it into the hall.

The little fellow shouted towards the palace in a baby voice, "Grandfather, boil some water for me!"

Everyone was stunned.
