Emperor Hui looked at the young man who was bending over in front of him, his attitude could not be more submissive, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Forget it, sit down."

After receiving Emperor Hui's words, no one dared to show anything, they happily called the people beside them to sit down.

Seventh Prince: "..."

No one cares whether he has a position or not.

"Seventh brother, sit here." Ji Wuhen patted the stool beside him and waved to him.

"Third brother still remembers me."

Ji Jinyu snorted softly, and when Yao Xinyu passed by, the smile on his face restrained a lot.

This woman was almost married to him by his father before, so he should stay away.

Concubine Wan had a panoramic view of the expressions of the people on the table, she was somewhat interested in Lu Xiyue who had been carefully guarded by Xiao Yunheng.

In the past in the palace, there were many rumors about Lu Xiyue.

This banquet was originally prepared to celebrate the new marriage of Ji Wuhen and Yao Xinyu. As the elders and empresses, the emperor and empress have a distinguished status, so there are naturally things that should be rewarded.

The queen casually changed the subject and talked to Yao Xinyu, her attitude was polite yet intimate, neither deliberately trying to win over nor showing any obvious alienation or indifference.

She has no children under her knees, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, she is a decent empress dowager, naturally she has nothing to worry about, and treats them all equally.

Yao Xinyu answered every word in a very polite manner, and no one could find a single fault.

After finishing questioning Yao Xinyu as usual, the Queen's eyes fell on Lu Xiyue.

"Miss Lu came to the palace in a hurry last time, but she didn't have time to see Miss Lu. In the past two years, Miss Lu has become more and more marked. When I saw her just now, I almost didn't recognize her."

Speaking of which, the empress only met Lu Xiyue twice, both at palace banquets, as for the reason, there is no need to say more.

"Thank you for your praise, my lady. I haven't seen you for two years, but your style is still the same."

Lu Xiyue held the teacup in her hand, she didn't want to spend any money for the kind words she said.

The Queen listened with a deeper smile on her face, "This kid really can talk."

"The queen likes the girl of the Lu family very much." Emperor Hui suddenly mentioned this while watching.

Everyone present was stunned.

The queen was still calm, and echoed Emperor Hui's words in a gentle voice: "These young girls are like flowers blooming in the palace in the new year. Your Majesty, tell me, there is no reason why my concubines don't like it."

Emperor Hui picked up the teacup and took a sip, seemingly not paying attention to what the queen said.

Lu Xiyue lowered her head and silently ate a piece of sea bass that Xiao Yunheng had caught for her, trying to minimize her sense of existence.

However, Emperor Hui held this banquet to celebrate the wedding of Ji Wuhen and Yao Xinyu on the surface, but in fact he wanted to find a suitable and decent opportunity to beat her up.

Right now, it is this opportunity.

"The Orchid Flower Festival will be held in a few days. I won't have the chance to witness such a grand event with my own eyes. Third child, you are newly married, so you should take the third prince and concubine to have a good time."

Ji Wuhen was eating when he was ordered inexplicably, and immediately responded seriously.

Emperor Hui said again: "As for the five and seven, I think you are not too young, and this marriage should be put on the agenda. Empress, the two of them have to trouble you to worry about it."

Ji Yunyan lost her mother when she was young, and Ji Jinyu's biological mother also passed away due to illness two years ago, so no one worried about their marriage.

"My son is not in a hurry. My son has no intention of getting married yet." Ji Yunyan said lightly, and declined Huidi's proposal.

Ji Jinyu also echoed: "Father, so does my son. My son is still young. You and the queen mother should not worry about your son."

What's so good about getting married? It's too troublesome for a girl to deal with the family. In the future, I will be free to appreciate this great river and mountain and be a leisurely passer-by.

When Emperor Hui heard this, his nose turned out of anger, "Stop saying a few words, among my sons, you are the one who is the most worrying. gone."

Eighteen of his sons have all made meritorious service on the battlefield, but his son is lucky, drowning in gold and silver nests all day long.

"What's wrong with eighteen, the third brother is now 22, and he just got married."

"What did you say?"

Huidi's cold eyes turned sideways.

"No, nothing." Ji Jinyu immediately became honest.

Emperor Hui snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

Right now, two sons have participated in the power grab, and he doesn't want his sons to kill each other. Besides, the seventh son is a no-brainer, so he can't compete with the others.

Just lying in the gold and silver nest like this is considered a blessing.

Emperor Hui knew the matter of fighting for the reserve, and not pointing it out didn't mean he didn't know.

"Yun Heng, you are not young anymore, why have you been married for so many years, and there is no movement at all until now."

Emperor Hui looked as usual, as if he was saying something unimportant.

Lu Xiyue stopped eating with chopsticks, slowly raised her head, and saw Emperor Hui's sharp eyes staring at her.

Xiao Yunheng on the side looked over, and the hand under the table held hers, with a sense of comfort.

The queen and others looked at each other, and Emperor Hui called Xiao Yunheng so affectionately.

Even King Ning didn't call him by his name.

Although His Majesty is ashamed of King Ning's family who died unjustly, but now that the title has been restored, Xiao Yunheng has returned, and all the things that should be made up for have been made up.

Could it be that the [-] military power that was taken back from King Ning to guard Jiaguan was handed over to Xiao Yunheng!

Several people secretly guessed, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed.

Facing the gazes of everyone gathered together, Xiao Yunheng remained calm and composed: "Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that I am still young, and the child's affairs are not in a hurry."

He directly refuted the excuse of Ji Yunyan and Ji Jinyu just now.

The corner of Emperor Hui's mouth twitched, almost doubting whether these boys had discussed it together and used this sentence to anger him.

He looked at Ji Yunyan and Ji Jinyu, his eyes finally turned back to Xiao Yunheng, and he came to a conclusion after thinking about it.

This nephew is just a martial artist, but he doesn't have such a good brain as the third and fifth to come up with these twists and turns.

"You are also twenty, not too young." Emperor Hui frowned, and glanced at Lu Xiyue, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the heirs of the palace. If not, let the queen choose two smart ones." Send it to the palace and wait on it first."

A young man like him was just in his prime, and now he is fascinated by Lu Xiyue's good looks, but when he tastes something new later, he won't be so obsessed.

Faced with Emperor Hui's online birth, Xiao Yunheng always maintained a firm attitude: "Thank you for your concern, the minister and the princess will consider the matter of the heir, but it's not now, so I don't bother the empress to worry about the minister."

Emperor Hui's complexion sank visibly with the naked eye, and he stared at the handsome face in front of him that had never shown any waves, feeling a little dissatisfied.
