Lu Jiuqing turned a deaf ear and started to leave.

Today's banquet was not what she wanted to come to.

Mrs. Hou's face turned red and she didn't care much. She stood up and went to pull her. At this moment, the sharp voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside, shouting: "The Emperor is here!"

At some point, the entire Yinghua Hall fell silent, and then there was the sound of everyone kneeling down.

Lu Jiuqing paused for a moment, then knelt down behind everyone.

She lowered her head, and could only see a man wearing Emperor Ming's robe walking past her eyes. The footsteps stopped at a high place, followed by a majestic voice: "Ping Shen."

Everyone shouted long live before standing up.

After Lu Jiuqing stood up, he did not dare to raise his head and look around. He only stood slightly behind Mrs. Hou, lowering his head as much as possible to reduce his sense of presence.

The emperor's voice was very majestic, and he said some polite words that the emperor and his ministers were enjoying themselves together, and then he asked everyone to eat and drink freely without being too restrained.

The emperor has said so, even if everyone doesn't dare, they still have to pretend to be happy and lively.

The Yinghua Hall became lively again. Lu Jiuqing had just failed to leave, and was stopped now. He could only sit down again.

She saw the prince leading the princes and princesses to pay New Year greetings to His Majesty and the Queen. Her eyes stayed on Mo Xiao for two more seconds, and then quickly moved away.

The emperor was quite kind to these children and rewarded them with gifts before letting everyone retreat.

The emperor stepped down from the high dragon chair, holding a wine glass in his hand, and whispered something to his courtiers, as if he had no airs at all.

Lu Gaofei stood beside the emperor with his head slightly lowered. The emperor seemed to have asked him something. He answered in a low voice and glanced at Lu Jiuqing.

After a while, a eunuch came to send a message and asked Lu Jiuqing to come over.

Lu Jiuqing's heart skipped a beat again, and he stood up to follow.

Mrs. Hou said quickly as she passed by: "Be careful what you say and do."

Lu Jiuqing's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his attention was somewhat diverted by Mrs. Hou's words.

She thought in her heart that Lu Gaofei and Mrs. Hou seemed to be really afraid of her talking nonsense.

But, what can she say in front of His Majesty?

This question went all the way to the emperor.

She didn't dare to look up. As soon as she got close, she knelt down and lowered her head: "I have met His Majesty."

There were several other people standing beside the emperor. At this moment, he was looking down at the woman kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice: "Are you Lu Jiuqing?"

Lu Jiuqing: "She is my daughter."

"Keep your head up."

Lu Jiuqing took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

At this time, she saw the emperor's appearance for the first time. His voice is very similar to his, and his appearance is also very majestic. His facial features are extremely straight, his eyebrows are thick, and he looks a bit fierce.

She suddenly thought inappropriately that Mo Xiao didn't look like His Majesty, but more like the Queen sitting on the chair above.

The emperor's eyes instantly softened when he saw Lu Jiuqing's face, and he said softly: "It's so similar."

Lu Jiuqing heard clearly, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.

She didn't know what the emperor was talking about.

Over there, the emperor had come to his senses, and his tone was much more friendly than before: "Get up and answer the question."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Jiuqing stood up and stood upright.

Many people looked here, curious, but Mo Xiao's eyes were full of worry.
