Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

uncle?

Hua Xia was slightly startled and looked back at Xiao Taozi, who shrank his neck and nodded at her.

Hua Xia laughed awkwardly: "Ha, ha, uncle, you didn't say you were so young."

Xin Han: "Nonsense! No respect for elders!"

Hua Xia: “…”

"Uncle, where were you going when you were sneaking around like that just now?"

Hua Xia had no choice but to force out a dignified smile and said softly, "Uncle, Yue'er isn't going anywhere."

It seemed that the trip to Xuanyi Hall would have to be postponed. Hua Xia was taken by this cheap and rigid uncle to Ganqing Hall where the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held.

Later, she heard her uncle muttering and realized that the Queen Mother had sent a little eunuch to bring Xin Han to see her, saying that the uncle and nephew had not seen each other for a long time and must miss each other very much.

Hua Xia doesn't miss it at all.

When they arrived at the Ganqing Palace, there were only a few officials there. Xin Han, a man without any official position, and Hua Xia, a deposed queen, could only sit in a remote position.

Liu Cai, the chief steward of the inner palace, was just setting things up in the palace. When he saw Hua Xia, he was stunned and asked with a questioning look: "My queen, didn't you go to Xuanyi Palace to pick up something? Why are you here so early?"

Hua Xia followed behind Xin Han and glanced up and down at his uncle who was a head taller than him: This is my uncle! I was arrested.

Liu Cai nodded, his eyes wandering around, sometimes on the cushion held by the eunuch, sometimes on the current position of Hua Xia and the others, and then he looked at Xin Han: Your Majesty, I will change the cushion for you right now, do you want to change it for your uncle?

Hua Xia shook her head and pouted: He doesn't deserve it!

Liu Cai nodded, stepped forward to stop the eunuch who was arranging the chair for Hua Xia, and put the silk cushion he had carefully prepared on it: "Your Majesty, use this."

Xin Han glanced at the eunuch and didn't care.

After this series of operations, 250 was stunned: [......Host, you and Lao Liu are communicating with each other through brain waves? Why can you two understand each other's words? ! ]

Hua Xia casually said, "We were playing cards and cheating. I used eye contact and he fed me the cards, and I learned it naturally."

What else can 250 say? He has even developed skills in playing cards. He can only feel sorry for those eunuchs who were tricked by Liu Cai into playing cards in Jing'an Palace.

The two waited for more than half an hour before the ministers and officials and their families slowly sat down.

During this period, Hua Xia's ears were almost callused from her cheap uncle's constant nagging.

She sighed softly, what a handsome guy, but it’s a pity that he only has a mouth!

After the seats in the hall were gradually filled, the emperor finally arrived, supported by the empress dowager. Hua Xia noticed that there were still two empty seats on the first seat for officials.

As the two supremely powerful people came in, all the ministers stood up and greeted them: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Hua Xia followed along while swiping, looking at the male protagonist of the world. According to what she had heard from her friends over the past few days, the male protagonist of this world was called Li Shen, and he was considered the most incompetent emperor since the founding of Yuan State. He ignored state affairs, was incompetent, and was obsessed with playing and indulging himself in the harem, favoring only the imperial concubine.

And now this imperial concubine was still following behind the emperor. If the empress dowager hadn't coughed a few times to remind her, the imperial concubine would have almost sat on his lap.

The officials below all shook their heads when they saw this scene, looking as if they were experiencing misfortune for the country but dared not say anything more.

Hua Xia glanced at Li Shen, who was ignoring the ministers below the stage and playing with the imperial concubine, and narrowed her eyes slightly. How could the male protagonist of the world be such a simple person? He was just pretending to be stupid.

Sure enough, although Li Shen tried his best to control himself, he still glanced at the two empty seats from time to time.

The emperor and his ministers were basically playing their own games, with the emperor teasing the imperial concubine and the ministers chattering away.

A faint voice sounded: "The Prime Minister didn't come again today?"

"The Prime Minister hasn't attended the morning court for almost half a month, right?"

"Hey! I'm afraid the Prime Minister is sick again!"

Li Shen on the stage pretended to drink the wine poured for him by the imperial concubine, but in fact his ears had already pricked up.

Hua Xia naturally heard it too and frowned. Is this prime minister a sickly person? Then who is the person sitting in the other seat?

The Queen Mother then came out to say something polite: "Today is a family banquet, the ministers don't have to be restrained, drink as much as you want."

After saying this, servants, eunuchs and maids immediately came forward with wine and food and placed them on the table.

Everyone stood up: "Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty."

Talking about this family dinner, the officials in unison turned their eyes to the tail seat Hua Xia. Seeing that the latter had a gloomy expression, but was still dignified and generous, and then comparing her with the imperial concubine who sat in the main seat, they were all indignant.

When the empress was deposed, all the ministers opposed it, but Your Majesty still insisted on his own opinion!

And the dullness of Hua Xia is all because of this uncle who talks too much!

Liu Cai, the steward of the inner palace, was not in a position to personally deliver the dishes to Hua Xia, so he sent the little fool instead. The little fool was much better than the stuttering little Quanzi. He squatted beside the table and whispered messages while serving the dishes.

"Madam, Chief Steward Liu said that he secretly replaced the plum wine specially provided for the emperor with yours. Now the emperor is drinking other wine. He also asked if you would like to play cards tomorrow?"

System: […Help!] Are these people masochistic? They were beaten by the host like this, yet they are so loyal to him!

Hua Xia nodded and said quickly, "We'll see how things go tomorrow."

Xiao Shazi withdrew, and his uncle asked, "What were you whispering about with that little eunuch?"

Hua Xia: “…” She was speaking so quietly, how could you still hear it?

During the banquet, Hua Xia looked at the male protagonist of the world vaguely and found that he really didn't love the imperial concubine at all. The imperial concubine next to him had a miscarriage not long ago. Her face was haggard and she barely covered it with rouge and forced a smile.

However, Li Shen didn't care at all. He was more concerned about the two vacant positions.

Halfway through the banquet, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the hall, and the officials around gradually stopped talking and looked outside the door.

Soon, a tall and straight man in cold armor walked straight into the hall. The man stood in the middle of the hall, bowed slightly, and said in a disrespectful tone: "Your Majesty, I just came back from Huaixi. I am a little late. I hope your Majesty will not blame me."

A flash of coldness flashed across Li Shen's eyes, which disappeared in an instant, and he smiled: "How could I blame General Zhao? General Zhao has worked hard and made great contributions. Please take a seat."

After the ministers watched Zhao Zhiwu take his seat, their eyes began to drift towards the door, but there was no one outside except a few guards.

After everyone finished their talk, they turned their attention to General Zhao, who was calmly eating the food on the table in front of him, his face cold and expressionless.

Hua Xia squinted her eyes and leaned forward, trying to see more clearly, but seeing the general's cold face and everyone's reactions, she thought that he should hold military power and be extremely powerful.

Isn't this exactly her portrait of the villain in this world? This guy is definitely a villain!

Xin Han, who was standing next to her, frowned when he saw her rude appearance: "Yuer, what are you doing? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hua Xia was frightened by the nagging and started to act: "Uncle, I'm fine, it's just the Queen Mother... I'm fine."

Xin Han: "That's too much!"

250: [......]

Li Shen, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at Zhao Zhiwu who was eating calmly, and finally lost his temper and asked, "General Zhao? Why didn't the Prime Minister come along?"
