For this scene, others around them just selectively ignored it, obviously knowing her two faces.
If you meet someone you can't afford to offend, you will act like a white lotus. If you meet someone with a lower status than yourself, you won't be able to tell anyone apart.
It's really written all over his face.
If it weren't for the concern about the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her, no one would even bother to do face-saving projects with her.
Not far away, Gardenia held her cheek with one hand, looking thoughtful.
It didn't take long, after the queen appeared with a group of concubines, the emperor's army came over.
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
Everyone present stood up from their seats, walked to the aisle and knelt down to salute.
"See Your Majesty——"
The emperor waved his hand with a gentle expression. Just when he was about to say goodbye, his eyes fell on the fiery red body again, with a smile in his eyes.
After a long time of waiting for him to speak, while the others were still lowering their heads, Gardena, who was secretly kneeling on the cushions, couldn't help but raise her head and take a look, just in time to catch the emperor's eyes.
The little girl blinked, frowned in annoyance, and lay back down.
Glancing at the soft cushions under her from the corner of his eye, the emperor coughed, spoke as if nothing had happened, and invited everyone to sit down.
The princes were walking behind him just now, and the courtiers following him on this trip. Huo Lichi, who was in charge of safety, stood alone, only half a step behind His Majesty.
So when he raised his eyes, he easily caught sight of the little girl opposite.
This time, Gardenia didn't move away, she just smiled and waved to him to say hello.
Huo Lichi pursed his lips, nodded slightly and found his position.
When he looked over again, the little girl had changed into a lazy posture, with half of her body leaning on Shen Nanqing's arms.
She was wearing a red dress tonight, with patterns outlined by gold threads on the edge. She was flamboyant and noble. Her fair complexion seemed to glow under the light. Her small face was delicate, and her round eyes looked around curiously, like a delicate bird. Raised kittens.
Especially after Shen Nanqing fed her fruit, she would squint with satisfaction, obviously enjoying it very much.
Huo Lichi's eyelashes moved slightly and he lowered his eyes.
Gardenia, who was being served, seemed to notice something and turned her head to look in this direction.
There were only a few procedures for the banquet. After the emperor sat down, he first said a few words, and then the palace banquet officially began.
The difference is that this time several princes are performing, like showing off their archery.
Looking at the princes standing in a row with their bows drawn, Gardena sat up slightly and looked serious.
Huo Lichi, who was always paying attention to her, naturally saw this scene, followed the little girl's gaze, and finally landed on the waists of the princes.
"..."
Huo Lichi was thoughtful.
His Majesty's genes are still very good today, and each of the princes is outstanding. Even the third prince with the worst reputation has his own profile in managing political affairs, otherwise he would not be pulled out by His Majesty and become a target.
One capable prince is a comedy for the court, while multiple capable princes are a tragedy.
Your Majesty has considerations, and there will inevitably be fights between the princes.
But no matter what, everyone is in their prime at this time, and the concubines are all the most beautiful beauties in the world, so this scene is particularly eye-catching.
At least Gardenia watched it with gusto.
They are still very human when they are doing business.
While feeding the little girl, Shen Nanqing paid attention to the movement below. It was obvious that Shen Yang was pulling into the veil, and she seemed a little nervous.
She frowned a little suspiciously, but glanced at the prince on the field and still didn't say anything.
