Chapter 81 Phoenix Crown
The atmosphere in the room was weird, and Zhao Zongheng looked pale and didn't seem to want to participate in any topics.

Si Ningchi looked at Si Qionglian and Zhao Yuanli with a smile and said, "I don't know, when did the emperor know my step-sister so well?"

"Accidental acquaintance." The implication is that they are not too familiar?
"It's really a surprise that you can come to the door to deliver food in person?" Si Ningchi leaned back slightly, and said with a smile in his tone: "I heard that since I entered the palace, King Jing often talked to Qiong. Sister Lian sends out an invitation."

A smile bloomed on Si Ningchi's lips, he looked at Si Qionglian very seriously and said: "I thought that sister Qionglian was on good terms with King Jing, but I didn't want to, but I misunderstood it. So my sister is interested in the Holy King?"

Si Ningchi's words fell, Zhao Zongheng and Zhao Yuanzhang's eyes fell on her at the same time, Si Qionglian also looked at Si Ningchi with a tight expression, lowered his head and said softly: "The empress misunderstood, Qiong Lian is not familiar with King Jing, so she declined King Jing's invitation several times."

Si Qionglian raised his head, looked at Si Ningchi sincerely and earnestly, and said with a smile: "I heard from my father that in the past, Empress Empress and Prince Jing were childhood sweethearts, and now that Empress has entered the palace, King Jing must also be thinking about Empress, I will often visit Xiwu Houfu."

"Why would he go to the Marquis Mansion if he wants to see Bengong?" Si Ning Chi smiled coldly, "I'm afraid he has feelings for my sister."

"Sister Qiong Lian is not yet married, if she can marry King Jing..." Si Ningchi didn't care what Si Qiong Lian was implying, and brought the topic back to the past between her and Gao Hanqi.

"Qiong Lian has her own, thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Si Qionglian looked at Si Ningchi, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"That's really a pity." Si Ningchi sighed rather regretfully, "I don't know which young master got my sister's favor, but my father would be happy if he found out, after all, my father loves my sister so much."

Si Qionglian lowered her head and did not answer, looking as if she was ashamed to speak, but Si Ningchi knew that she was deliberately avoiding the topic.

"The Gao family and the Si family have always been on good terms. It would be great if they could get married." I thought the topic would stop here, but I didn't expect Zhao Zongheng to speak up suddenly. Even Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zongheng.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. King Jing is not the one who pleases Qiong Lian." Si Qiong Lian's eyes were slightly panicked. Hearing what the Emperor said, she was really afraid that she would marry her in the next second, so she worked so hard. It will be wasted for a long time!
"Oh."

"..."

Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes indifferently, and there was a bit of pity in the covered eyes, and he suddenly wanted to marry King Jing very strongly.

Si Qionglian completely lost the intention to stay any longer, so she left on the pretext of having something to do at home.

After having fun for a long time, it was time to return to the palace. Before returning to the palace, Si Ningchi even asked Wang Chengxiang to go to the market to buy a lot of gadgets. He originally went out of the palace with light clothes, but this time he returned to the palace. At that time, there were two more large boxes.

When Suyun was counting for the queen, and when he dug out the sweet potatoes and clay figurines in the box, he wondered for a while that his empress had gone to the street, she had entered the village, right?
After Zhao Zongheng returned to the palace, he disappeared and did not enter the harem for several days.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Guards is here." The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the palace is bustling again. There are many Ministers of Shang Yi who have entered and left Fengwu Palace in the past two days, all for the preparation of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Please come in." Si Ningchi waved his hands and got up and went to the main hall.

Empress Dowager Cui, who had been confined for a long time on the grounds of recuperation, finally "recovered" before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The guard brought a record for the Queen to check and choose the style of the phoenix crown to be worn at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It also brought news to Si Ningchi that Empress Dowager Cui will also appear at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the hair crown that Empress Dowager Cui wants is exactly the same as that of the empress.

The guard looked at Si Ningchi solemnly and said: "According to the rules, the empress dowager can also wear the phoenix crown, but she should always avoid the phoenix crown of the queen mother. Now the empress dowager also wants this phoenix crown. The slaves dare not refuse, so come here Report to Empress Empress, how should I deal with this?"

There are also differences in phoenix crowns. Historically, the queen mother’s phoenix crowns are mostly in the style of phoenix feathers and phoenix tails. Even the hairpins of the phoenix crowns are also inserted obliquely. There has never been a phoenix crown worn by a phoenix in the middle. This clearly shows that it is to steal the limelight from the queen. ?

If the emperor has not yet established a queen, that's fine. There is nothing wrong with only the queen mother wearing the phoenix crown, but the empress is the empress in the middle palace. Could it be that the empress dowager is trying to embarrass the empress?
Wei Fangruo was a servant, but he didn't dare disrespect the queen mother's will, so after weighing this, he decided to leave the matter to the queen.

"Since it's the queen mother's will, then follow it." Si Ningchi fiddled with the jade beads on the table, his eyes drooping and his lips curved into a smile: "I want to see if she is worthy of this phoenix crown."

"You are so..." Si Ningchi waved at Wei Fangruo, leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

"Your servant understands." Wei Fangruo bowed her head and responded cautiously.

The mid-autumn feast was a feast for the ministers, and it was a lively place in this palace. Now that Princess Chaoyang has returned to the palace, it adds a bit of joy to the palace banquet. You must know that Princess Chaoyang is not married yet.

There is a state banquet in Qingxiang Palace, and all the ministers and their families enter the palace for the banquet. Those who can enter this banquet are all important ministers who are highly valued by Emperor Tianqing.

Xiwu Marquis Si Yirong was naturally also invited.

"The emperor's temper is like this. I can't take you to this banquet." In the Hou Mansion, Si Yirong looked at his stepwife Liu Shi helplessly and said in a low voice: "The state banquet is not like an ordinary place, Lianer I'll take care of myself."

"Master Hou has brought me into the mansion for so long, but he has never taken me out. Do you think I'm shameless?" Liu's eyes were tearful, and those eyes couldn't be more similar to Si Qionglian's. With tears in his eyes, I really feel pity. .

"Why did I ever say such a thing?" Si Yirong frowned a little anxiously, and continued to coax him in a low voice: "It's fine to take you to an ordinary banquet, but today..."

"It's the concubine's fault." Liu Shi wiped away the fine tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile and said, "The concubine should not embarrass Lord Hou."

"Since the state banquet cannot be delayed, Lord Hou should leave earlier." With a cute and sensible appearance, Liu looked at Si Yirong affectionately and said, "I am waiting for Lord Hou to return home in the mansion. I have nothing to ask for, I just want to be inseparable from Master Hou forever."

Seeing Liu Shi being so sensible, Si Yirong couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He stepped forward and took her into his arms and said, "I've wronged you, next time the Marquis will definitely bring you to a banquet."

Liu Shi snuggled into Si Yirong's arms and responded in a low voice, but there was a coldness in her closed eyes.

In the end Si Yirong took Si Qiong Lian out the door and headed towards the palace.
