"Welcome to the Queen Mother!"

The Tongxin Lake in the palace is located at the innermost part of the entire inner palace, and covers half of the imperial city. The annual New Year's Eve banquet is held on the lakeside terrace.

"My son, I respectfully wish my mother to be in peace."

Zhao Cuo saw the true face of the then Emperor Yongzhao for the first time. The face of this fictitious emperor who was only 20 years old was full of kindness, courtesy and thrift without any trace of cruelty.

"Everyone sit down."

The Empress Dowager wore a veil and sat at the head of the table. A pair of awe-inspiring golden eyes scanned the ministers below. No one dared to look at her.

"I, the Crown Prince of Qi State, Chu Yun, have visited the Queen Mother to send greetings on behalf of my father, the King of Qi. May the Queen Mother have auspicious New Year."

A bloated young man stepped forward and saluted respectfully. Zhao Cuo also looked at him twice. The crown prince of Qi can be said to be more noble than the prince. Judging from his status as the second generation, only the crown prince of Dayu can overpower him.

One head.

"Um."

Empress Dowager Zhao responded and then went silent. Then several princes who came to the capital to congratulate came forward to salute. Judging from the depressed mental outlook of these people, it can be guessed that they are basically unfavored bastards who died in

Xiang Jing is not the type to be worried about either.

The so-called banquet was just a family banquet at first, but later it gradually turned into a banquet for the rich and powerful to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. The dignitaries from the capital would come with their families to congratulate.

Zhao Cuo stood behind the female devil as a guard. From a high position, he also saw his sister among the ladies. Miss Yuxin also smiled and waved to him.

'It's so boring...'

After the banquet started, Mr. Zhao couldn't stand it any longer. First, the young emperor spoke on behalf of his mother, which no one listened to. Then there was a gift-giving session. After that, the food started to be served. No one dared to do this in such an occasion.

eat.

It was when the moon and stars were scarce that the palace orchestra appeared.

Zhao Cuo’s evaluation is that it is not as good as painting a boat and listening to music.

"Master."

When he looked down at his toes in boredom, he suddenly heard Fei Wu's voice.

"aunt?"

Young Master Zhao turned his head and looked doubtfully.

"Master, please come with me."

Feiwu said softly.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Cuo subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother who was sitting not far away. Aunt Feiwu was the confidant of the female devil, and everything she did must be under instructions.

"You'll know when you get here."

Fei Wu whispered.

"Please ask my aunt to lead the way."

Although he was worried about being sent to the cleansing room, he could only keep up with him and gradually moved away from the noisy terrace. The night at Tongxin Lake was very pleasant. Although it was winter, the evening breeze blowing on his face did not sting, but rather chilled him.

Arouse drowsiness.

The young prince followed the pretty palace maid and walked by the lake. They didn't go very far. He could still hear the singing of the opera troupe on the terrace, and an exquisite boat appeared not far away.

When Zhao Cuo saw this, he already understood the situation.

"Come over quickly."

Fei Wu urged in a low voice.

'Why does it look like an affair?'

He muttered in his heart and subconsciously scanned the surrounding area. It was dark and silent. The only sound came from the terrace not far away. With the eyesight of a practitioner, he could definitely see where he was, right?

"Empress..."

Young Master Zhao stepped towards the exquisite boat docked on the shore. A girl wearing a black chest-length skirt was lying on the imperial concubine's couch above with her eyes closed. She had a look of grace and elegance on her face.

.

He first bowed as usual, but when he saw that the women on the boat didn't even open their eyes, he simply got on the boat on his own initiative.

To be honest, he didn't know what this bad woman meant when she asked him to come here.

"Paddle to the middle of the lake."

The Queen Mother lazily ordered.

"oh."

This usual condescending tone made Zhao Cuo feel slightly relieved, at least he was no longer as cold as before, which showed that the inexplicable anger of the female devil had dissipated.

'Why don't you let me get a wife?'

Young Master Zhao swung the oar towards the center of Tongxin Lake. He was still aggrieved. No man could accept being deprived of the right to choose a mate.

As he moved away from the lake shore and came to the center of the water, his mood suddenly relaxed.

This illusion that the noise is very close but you are very far away makes you feel very comfortable.

"Didn't the empress say that she would give my sister a marriage?"

Zhao Cuo let go of the oar and let the boat move with the wind.

"how?"

The Queen Mother opened her phoenix eyes and looked at him with interest.

"Are you willing to give up your precious sister to someone else? Do you like the little woman too much, so you want Zhao Shanxin to get married and then you can wear a hat for your brother-in-law?"

"nonsense!"

Zhao Cuo retorted unhappily.

"But the women around you are all older married people."

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at him with a smile and said.

"Or do you just like to steal the emperor's wife? If you please me well, I can reward you with a few concubines."

"I want a queen."

Zhao Cuo felt that he could not be bullied into retreat by her, so he chose to fight back.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

The female devil actually touched her chin seriously and started thinking about it.

"My son has not been named a queen yet, but if you really want it, I can make his most beloved Concubine Nan his queen, and send her to your room on the night of the canonization ceremony. How about that?"

'You are a demon!'

Zhao Cuo was immediately defeated and tried to seize other people's wives for no reason. He really couldn't do such a thing.

"What orders did the queen bring me here?"

He said changing the subject.

“The view here is great.”

Empress Dowager Dayu's tone was still lazy, and Zhao Cuo nodded subconsciously in agreement when he heard this. The sky has been good today, and after nightfall, the sky is full of stars, reflecting the Tongxin Lake like the Milky Way.

"so?"

Zhao Cuo walked up and sat down on the soft couch where she was lying, and disrespectfully leaned his waist on the empress's long beautiful legs together. However, the Empress Dowager just stretched out her slender fingers to poke his side in a lazy and delicate way.

waist.

"Read a poem to me, or I will call you frivolous. You can see us clearly from the balcony."

Zhao Cuo looked a little calmly towards the heated place. Although there was a distance, he could barely see some people's faces here.

"Hurry up."

The Queen Mother urged.

"Yes Yes."

Zhao Cuo suddenly lay down next to her. Their faces were so close that they could both smell each other's favorite scent.

"You are getting more and more presumptuous."

The young queen mother raised her slender eyebrows, then raised her arms that were brighter than the moonlight and put them around the handsome young man's waist, and then bumped his forehead provocatively.

"I asked you to write a poem."

she ordered.

"What do you want to hear, Madam?"

Zhao Cuo could not look away from her beautiful pale golden eyes.

"Everything is fine." Queen Mother Dayu said and suddenly raised the corners of her lips, "You can kiss me if it makes me happy."

"Chen Jiang's talents are exhausted... ugh!"

Zhao Cuo couldn't say anything before he finished his rejection. The bad woman had deceived him, and she wanted to use such despicable means to make him willing to be deceived.
