Lin Yunxi continued to ask Zhixia.

"Has he met Tang Jingjia?"

"Back to your Majesty, the secret guards have met Wang Xubai by chance in the restaurant where he ate in the past few days. Wang Xubai is now obsessed with Tang Jingjia. Look, Your Majesty."

While waiting for the queen, Zhixia raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Xubai.

Lin Yunxi followed Zhixia's gaze and found that Wang Xubai was peeking at Tang Jingjia, who was sitting far away opposite him, in various postures.

"Well done, I'll reward you later."

Lin Yunxi discovered that his secret guards were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very reliable in their work. I don't know what method they used to make Wang Xubai fall in love with Tang Jingjia. They were really a group of powerful secret guards.

"Thank you, empress."

Murong Hao naturally understood what Xi'er and Zhixia were going to do next. He glanced at Wang Xubai in the audience. This playboy would definitely have a good show to perform later.

During this palace banquet, the Ministry of Rites asked the Yuefu Bureau to arrange a lot of songs, dances and operas for the Empress Dowager. It was still early, and the gift-giving part was placed before lunch.

The royal nobles and civil and military officials all prepared birthday gifts for the Queen Mother. The Ministry of Rites stipulated that a representative of each family unit should be sent to deliver congratulatory gifts and blessings to the Queen Mother.

For a time, there was a long queue under the stage, and the official of the Ministry of Etiquette read out a birthday gift after receiving it.

The Tang family naturally gave this opportunity to Tang Jingjia. They all hoped that she could become the emperor's concubine, so they naturally left it to her to get close to the emperor.

Mr. Wang, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, gave this gift to his eldest son Wang Xulai.

Wang Xubai was the second legitimate son and was not favored by his family, but this was a good opportunity to see Tang Jingjia up close, and he did not want to miss the opportunity.

"Dad, let Bai'er go this time."

Before Mr. Wang could agree, Wang Xubai grabbed the gift box from his brother-in-law and ran forward.

"This traitor." Mr. Wang said angrily.

On the side, his legitimate son Wang Xu Lai smiled and comforted his father, "Dad, just let Xu Bai go, it doesn't matter."

Mr. Wang saw that everyone in the hall was queuing up in an orderly manner. He couldn't say anything, so he could only nod.

The Tang family had the background of the Empress Dowager and Marquis Anyuan, so they were naturally ranked higher.

Tang Jingjia walked to the top of the stairs with the gift box in both hands, handed the gift box to the official of the Ministry of Etiquette, said a few words of congratulations to the Queen Mother, and finally followed the people in front of her down the stairs.

She walked up to the emperor, secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Murong Hao. The emperor was really extraordinary. As long as she got a little closer to him, her heart beat faster and faster, reminding her of the moment when the emperor held her in his arms that evening. .

Just as she was thinking, she glanced at the emperor secretly. The emperor didn't know what he had just said to the queen. He raised his eyes and looked down at the first place. At this glance, her eyes and the emperor's eyes were intertwined.

She pretended to be calm, nodded to the emperor with a smile, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Her heartbeat was racing at this moment, her palms were sweating, her cheeks were hot, and her pink cheeks were reddened.

At this moment, Wang Xubai was queuing up when he saw the most beautiful Tang Jingjia walking down. Now he could see her beauty up close. She was indeed a beauty as rumored.

She was charming and charming, but also had a bit of cold air. This kind of woman looked as pale as a chrysanthemum, and she must have been very fragrant on the bed. He, Wang Xubai, was fascinated by her.

Tang Jingjia walked next to him, and he could smell the sweet fragrance of his daughter's house. She was such a beauty in the world. This fragrance was so to his liking.

He swallowed his Adam's apple unconsciously, stretched out his right foot, and lightly tripped Tang Jingjia.

"what……"

Tang Jingjia almost fell due to this trip, and she shouted softly.

"Girl, be careful."

With quick eyes and quick hands, Wang Xubai held the Wang family's gift in one hand, and held Tang Jingjia's slender waist with the other, pulling him into his arms.

Tang Jingjia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the man holding her. She didn't recognize him. She habitually looked at the emperor who was in the first place.

Fortunately, the ceremony officials are all collecting gifts now, so not many people saw the little episode here.

The emperor was still talking to the queen, and she struggled to break free from Wang Xubai's arms. She felt sick in her heart, but she still looked at him politely.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Girl, you're welcome."

Wang Xubai's hand suddenly broke away from the soft fragrance. He came back to his senses and looked at the beauty in front of him with a warm expression. She was so beautiful. It would be great to marry her and be his wife. He didn't have his first wife yet.

Tang Jingjia returned to her seat, Caiyun half-crouched next to her.

She had just been watching her young lady's every move, and when she saw her being hugged by a strange man for a moment, she looked at her worriedly.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay. After giving away the gifts, we can start our plan." She ordered in a low voice.

"Don't worry, miss, everything and people are ready." Caiyun vowed.

"Ah."

Tang Jingjia responded and looked at the first young master who was holding her just now. She didn't know which young master he was. It seemed that he tripped her just now, but she was a little unsure because she was too focused on the emperor's affairs and didn't pay attention. At the foot, maybe she thought wrong.

The gift-giving process took nearly half an hour. After all the gifts were recorded, the Queen Mother stood up and thanked all the officials.

"Thank you everyone for the gifts. The Ai family has received everyone's thoughts."

After speaking, she looked at her emperor's grandson.

Murong Hao understood and looked at Zhongliu, "Pass the meal.".

"Pass the meal..." Zhongliu's sharp father-in-law's voice sounded, and for a while, the hall was once again singing and dancing.

"Caiyun, go quickly."

Tang Jingjia told Caiyun who was waiting at the side that she had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and if she didn't succeed today, she would be fine.

"Yes, ma'am."

Caiyun agreed and quietly ran from the side door of the main hall in the direction of the woman's toilet.

When she came to the corridor where meals were passed around in the imperial dining room, she hid behind a large pillar and observed the dishes being served by the palace people in the imperial dining room. She remembered that her own lady had taught her the order of serving dishes at palace banquets.

The first plate of food and wine was dedicated to the Empress Dowager, the second plate belonged to the Emperor, the third plate belonged to the Empress, and the fourth and fifth plates belonged to the Emperor and the Empress.

Afraid of making a mistake, she carefully looked at the plates and dishes brought by the eunuchs.

Indeed, the bowls and chopsticks used by the emperor and empress had dragon and phoenix patterns, and those of the empress dowager, emperor and empress dowager had crane patterns.

After making sure there was no problem, she hurried to the corridor.

He ran to the middle of the corridor and bumped into the fourth and fifth palace servants serving dishes.

"Who are you? Are you looking for death?"

The two palace servants carried the dishes and drinks for the emperor and the empress. Fortunately, they were protected in time and the food was not spilled, otherwise it would have been too much for them to lose their heads.

"My dear father-in-law, I'm sorry, could you please tell me how to get to Gong's house? I feel uncomfortable in my stomach."

Caiyun was a brave maid who was not afraid of danger. She asked her two father-in-laws with a distressed look on her face. When they were not paying attention, she sprinkled the powder she had just prepared on her right hand into the Queen's drink, and the one on her left hand. The powder was sprinkled into the emperor's wine.

What she didn't know was that the two father-in-laws pretending to be serving food were the emperor's royal guards.

Seeing that Caiyun succeeded so easily, the little bird in her heart sang on the branch, not to mention how happy she was. The young lady was not far away from becoming the emperor's woman.

The madam at Yihonglou said that the powder and silver needle that killed the queen could not be tested.

The medicine given to the emperor was bought from another black market pharmacy, and the silver needle could not be tested. The two medicines had the same effect, but the medicine given to the queen would kill people, while the medicine given to the emperor only made people greedy.

It can't be detected, and no one will know it was her who poisoned it.
