Chapter 204 Jealousy
It's three o'clock in the unitary hour, and the night is already dark.
All the officials and princes were present, offering birthday presents to the Empress Dowager one after another, bringing their family members to kowtow to celebrate the birthday.
The empress sat in the first place beside the empress dowager, seeing the officials retreated after the ceremony, and the next official hadn't come up yet, she hurriedly lowered her voice, "Empress mother, Prince Jing hasn't come yet."
The Empress Dowager glanced around the hall, but she did not see Prince Jing, and the banquet was about to start. He was clearly in the capital, so why wouldn't he come to celebrate his birthday?
The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly became a little ugly. She and the Empress had selected several suitable girls in the clan, and wanted to take advantage of today's grand event to let them get close to Prince Jing, and then she, the old woman, would speak to the Emperor, given It's her 70th birthday today, presumably the emperor will agree to it for the sake of complete filial piety.
But if Prince Jing doesn't come, their plan will come to nothing.
The queen mother turned her head to look at the emperor, and raised her voice, "Emperor, have you assigned any errands to Yan'er?"
The emperor denied: "I haven't sent any errands to Yan'er recently. He asked me what birthday gift I would like to give when he entered the palace last time. I think he will definitely come today."
After hearing the emperor's words, the queen mother felt much more relieved, and nodded with a smile: "That's good, the Ai family hasn't looked at Yan'er for quite a while, it's strange to miss him."
The emperor didn't take it seriously. He lived in the palace for a long time, so he naturally understood that a woman's words cannot be trusted, especially for these women in high positions. Every word and every thing they do has a special purpose.
The emperor glanced around the hall seemingly casually, and his eyes stayed behind Zhuo Zhonghai intentionally or unintentionally. Chang's dress was gorgeous, and her smile was stiff. Beside her, sat two girls, one with a pretty appearance and a restless mind. , the one with more refined facial features, slightly younger age, a pair of beautiful eyes constantly looking at the dignitaries in the palace, with a smile on his lips, but his expression was indifferent.
His eyes fell on the girl's head, the younger one, the hair ornaments on her black hair were very delicate, especially the magnolia hairpin inserted obliquely in her hair, which was very eye-catching.
There was a sneer at the corner of the emperor's mouth, mocking eyes.
A carriage with a plate of King Jing's Mansion stopped outside Wan'an Hall. A young man in brocade clothes jumped out of the carriage. Under the moonlight, there was a faint warm smile on his handsome and unparalleled face, which warmed people's hearts.
A pair of white and slender hands stretched out from the curtain of the car, gently lifting the dangling crystal bead curtain, and a delicate face as beautiful as ink painting stretched out from the car, combing the current flying bun, the back of the head is soft and bright The rest of her hair is as long as her waist, her eyebrows are green like distant mountains, her eyes are like stars, her nose is beautiful and straight, her cherry lips are not rosy, and the rouge on her cheeks is even more delicate, so beautiful that you can't take it away. look.
He looked up at her, the light green embroidered bamboo skirt with a wide brocade waist, and the length of the skirt reached the floor, making her slender waist fit perfectly, and her legs were slender and straight.
He really wanted to hide her like this from other men.
"I'm starting to regret it!" He reached out to support her back, and carried her off the carriage.
The slender and strong fingers tightly wrapped around her slender waist, the warmth of the palm penetrated into her skin through the fabric, and her heart slapped lightly, her pretty face flushed.
"What do you regret?" She asked, pretending to be indifferent.
He lightly pinched her waist with his fingers, and laughed heartily, but his voice was low and charming: "I regret that I shouldn't have brought you here, your beauty will make people jealous."
