Wu Zechen patiently helped Xia Luotong get to know each other, and the two of them got together very intimately, as if they were whispering as if no one else was around. They ignored the people around them the whole time, as if they were the only two people in their own little world. people.
Such a situation, falling in the eyes of everyone, naturally caused a lot of discussion and speculation.
There were several seats in the main hall at this time, and the most complex looks were directed at Prince An and his wife.
Liu Yingxue's hands hidden in her sleeves had already been clenched tightly. Except for occasionally raising her eyes to glance over there, the rest of the time they were slightly lowered, in order to prevent the coldness in her eyes from being seen by others.
Chu Junxiu was sitting in his seat drinking alone, paying no attention to anyone else. Before the banquet started, he had already drank a lot of wine, and anyone could see that he was in a bad mood.
He never expected that in such a short period of time, he had just discovered his feelings, but already...
Liu Zimo felt the low and cold air pressure of Liu Yingxue behind him. His mood at this time was not much better. He glanced at the two figures closely together and felt something was wrong no matter how he looked at them, those two people The atmosphere surrounding me is really great!
Although there was still a gentle smile on his face, his heart was already cold and he was determined to find out about this matter.
It may be difficult for others to notice Liu Zimo's strange behavior, but Zuo Xiyan is very aware of it, and at this time, he is also feeling uneasy...
Looking at the person he longed for, he felt as if she was gradually moving away. For the first time, he felt a little panicked, and he was even more eager to know what was going on with those two people now.
The fingertips holding the tea cup were slightly white from exerting force. It took a lot of effort for him not to keep looking over there, because he knew he couldn't bring her any trouble.
The New Year's Eve palace banquet kicked off in such an atmosphere where everyone had their own thoughts.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! The Queen..."
As the eunuchs called out names one after another, the bright yellow figure finally appeared. Although he was nearly fifty years old, he still looked very healthy.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"
Everyone in the hall, regardless of their status, stood up and saluted.
"Everyone loves you!" The emperor smiled and raised his hands in vain. He seemed to be in a good mood and sat down. The queen mother and all the concubines also sat down one after another.
As the emperor finished speaking, the banquet officially began, and all kinds of delicacies were served like water, which made Xia Luotong a little more looking forward to it.
Wu Zechen on the side saw the interest in her eyes, a fond smile escaped from his lips, and he squeezed her little hand with his hand under the table.
Xia Luotong glared at him vaguely, then turned his gaze back to the food in front of him.
After the routine banquet between the monarch and his ministers, the song and dance performance began. Everyone tasted the dishes in front of them and exchanged a few words with the people around them from time to time. It was a rare harmony.
However, Xia Luotong knew very well that this banquet would definitely not be so simple, so in order to deal with various situations that may arise next, the most important thing for her right now is to seize the time to fill her stomach!
Wu Zechen on the side looked at her eating movements that were very elegant, but not slow at all. He couldn't help but smile in his eyes, and thoughtfully picked up all the dishes she glanced at for her. Not only did he not look at it with any dissatisfaction, but also As if enjoying it.
Xia Luotong had long been accustomed to him being like this recently, so he naturally enjoyed Wu Zechen's feeding. However, this scene was no longer the case in the eyes of others.
Seeing Prince An holding dishes for Princess An with a gentle expression, everyone felt that their eyes were about to pop out!
Prince An actually has other expressions besides his cold face? ! Prince An can still laugh? !
Prince An actually took the initiative to pick up food for Princess An? And he seems to be enjoying it? !
Looking at the accustomed look of Princess An, everyone was even more surprised to realize that such a scene might not have happened just today, but had happened a long time ago! It’s become the norm!
Are the recent rumors true? Is Prince An really very affectionate with Princess An? But Princess An is infertile...
Everyone had different thoughts, and the emperor sitting at the head was naturally aware of the situation on Prince An's side, and his eyes flashed with an expression that was difficult to distinguish.
This was Xia Luotong's first time to enjoy such a song and dance performance in the Great Zhou Dynasty. His eyes were full of novelty. Just as he was watching it with gusto, the emperor who was sitting on the throne not far away suddenly turned to Wu Zechen and said: "Time has passed. It's so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have been married for four months. Seeing that you and your wife are living well, I feel relieved."
Xia Luotong, who was watching the performance, his eyes flashed slightly and secretly said, "Sure enough, it's here!"
"I thank the Emperor for your concern. I and the princess are living a good life. I thank the Emperor for the marriage." Wu Zechen bowed his hands, his expression as cold as ever. It seemed that as soon as his eyes left Xia Luotong, he would no longer be interested. Soft color.
The emperor seemed to be used to him being like this and didn't take it to heart. When he heard that he was satisfied with the marriage, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "As long as you are satisfied, it's just..."
coming!
Xia Luotong looked away from the performance and looked at the emperor along with Wu Zechen with a faint smile. He already knew what the latter wanted to say.
"You will be twenty-six years old after tonight. The prince is only a few months older than you. He already has several children, but you still don't have an heir. If I hadn't given you the marriage, I don't know where you would be. Only then are you willing to get married." The emperor said with concern, pretending to be an elder, "You are really not young at this time, it is time to consider the issue of heirs."
Sure enough, it was for this!
Xia Luotong sneered in his heart. These words came from the emperor's mouth, but they had completely different meanings from those spoken by the queen mother. The queen mother sincerely cared about Wu Zechen's heirs, but the emperor may not.
Wu Zechen was obviously not surprised by this. His expression was still as cold as ever, but the hand placed under the table held Xia Luotong's little hand tightly, as if he wanted to convey his firm belief to her. Make her feel safe to trust herself.
"I am not in a hurry about this matter. My father did not have me until he was twenty-six years old. I and the princess will definitely have children of their own in the future." Wu Zechen's tone was calm but firm, "Before, the princess was persecuted by her mother's family. , the poison he was exposed to has just been removed, and he is now recuperating."
