Chapter 63
"I can't eat it."

Zhao Cuo had no choice but to deal with the empress dowager who was filling her mouth again. This bad woman wanted to eat everything she saw along the way, but after eating two bites and feeling tired, she would "reward" him.

Queen Mother Zhao didn't care about his stomach, she forcefully stuffed the moon cake that she had only bitten into Young Master Zhao's mouth, and wiped her oily hands on his clothes along the way.

Princess Xinning saw all this overly intimate behavior.

"Ok?"

Zhao Cuo, who was eating the overly sweet pastry in his mouth, suddenly seemed to feel something strange, raised his head and looked forward, and his eyes happened to meet a pair of eyes full of horror.

'Oops……'

Zhao Cuo felt a "thump" in his heart.

He has an impression of the woman in front of my lord sister.

Princess Xinning, the daughter of King Han!She had a ghostly look on her face, obviously she recognized the current queen mother, right?

"What a coincidence~"

At this moment, he heard a chuckle coming from his side, and when he glanced over, he found a trace of coldness on the delicate and flawless face of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and she was looking at Her Highness the princess with interested eyes.

'The female devil wants to kill someone? '

This idea came to Zhao Cuo's mind. The Empress Dowager's face at this time was very similar to the expression when she wanted to kill him, with a cold expression and the corners of her mouth raised.

"elder sister."

In a hurry, he led Zhao Qinglan to the side of his elder sister.

"Won't you introduce us?"

Zhao Xiaogong said with a smile on his face as usual.

"Ah."

Zhao Shangxin was about to ask if his little sister was not feeling well, but was interrupted by Zhao Cuo, and the words on his lips changed to:
"His Royal Highness, this is my brother you have seen, this is Miss Lan."

"Ah... yes!"

After all, Princess Xinning grew up in the palace, so she immediately reacted, and said with a forced smile:
"It turned out to be Ms. Lan. The little girl was dazzled. She thought she saw an elder in my family. When I thought about how that adult could be here, I didn't see anything."

She has a strong desire to survive, and she tries hard to express that she will keep her mouth shut, but she knows in her heart that she has never admitted the wrong person!

The self-respecting arrogance of the woman in front of her can't be faked.

This is the Empress Dowager of Dayu Dynasty!
"Your Highness..."

Zhao Shangxin looked at Princess Xinning blankly.

She knew the temperament of her friend.

This jewel in the palm of the King of Han is also famously arrogant in the circle of celebrities. She used to call herself "the main hall". How could she become a modest "little girl"?

"Sister, let's play, Miss Lan and I want to go over there to have a look, I won't bother you."

After Zhao Cuo said with a smile, he led the queen mother who was beside her and walked to the other side.

"That daughter of King Han is not your little lover, is it?"

Although Zhao Qinglan walked away with him, the killing intent on her little face became even stronger.

"Why did your mother say such a thing?"

Zhao Cuo gave her a strange look.

"It's the first time that Princess Xinning and I have spoken to each other."

"Then why are you defending her in front of Ben Gong?"

The Empress Dowager asked with a cold face.

"Um……"

Zhao Cuo paused and said bluntly.

"Your Majesty, did you want to kill her just now? Do you deserve to die just seeing the two of us admiring the lanterns together? I don't want anyone to die because of me."

"is it?"

The empress dowager's little face, which was more beautiful than the lake covered with bright lanterns, smiled again. She raised her thin eyebrows at Zhao wrongly, and sneered arrogantly between her eyebrows:

"Do you think Bengong will worry about being seen with you?"

As she spoke, she raised her slender hands with a smile and adjusted Zhao Cuo's neckline.

"Do you know why I'm angry? That idiot didn't mind seeing us, and he looked like he was afraid that others wouldn't know. I'm just about to start enjoying tonight's lantern show. Of course, it's a capital offense to spoil my good mood." .”

"Your Majesty still wants to kill her?"

Zhao Cuo pursed his lower lip.

"It was originally like this..."

The empress dowager continued to touch his cheek with her hand.

"But for the sake of your pretty little face, it's not impossible for me to spare her life, as long as you make me happy again now."

"Please show me, my lady."

Zhao Cuo said with a slow breath.

"Here."

The Empress Dowager Zhao raised her lotus arms and pointed to the banner on the sail with a smile on her face.

"Wait a minute, it seems that you want to chant poems and chant the moon, you go and get the first name back to Ben Gong, this is a piece of cake for you, right?"

"You can't say that."

Zhao Cuo shook his head sullenly.

"what is that?"

The empress dowager's delicate face showed unkindness.

"Find out what you want."

Zhao Xiaogong said lightly, the queen mother was startled when she heard the words, and then she covered her mouth and laughed until her flowers trembled!

"That's right, I thought you were going to make me angry again, and I was going to kill you and the princess together."

She confides the bitter words with a smile.

"I'll do my best to get back whatever the empress wants."

Zhao Cuo, who was used to her sarcastic remarks, said not-so-sincere flattering words without changing his face.

"Humph."

The empress dowager pinched his cheek in dissatisfaction, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped off the oily spots on the corners of Zhao Cuo's mouth mercilessly. In the eyes of Mr. Zhao, she was erasing the evidence of the crime.

These marks on his face were all caused by this woman when she brought up the leftover food!
However, this scene of concubine love is different in the eyes of Zhao Shangxin and others.

"Sister Zhao, the girl next to the young master is so handsome, which family is she from?"

A petite girl in everyone's circle of ladies asked curiously.

"I only met that Miss Lan today. If she is a native of the capital, she cannot be unknown. She should be from outside."

Zhao Shangxin shook his head.

"Speaking of which, Young Master Zhao is really impressive!"

A muscular woman said suddenly.

"Yesterday, he publicly interrogated King Youjun and uncovered the case of the Huting Chamber of Commerce transporting cigarettes into Beijing. He really deserves to be the empress dowager's valued person."

"Master Zhao is very good."

Princess Xinning, who had lingering fears in her heart, quickly nodded in agreement, looking at the son of the Zhao family who asked the queen mother to take out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, he was shocked but also full of gratitude.

His Royal Highness, of course, could see that Zhao Cuo was helping him just now.

Otherwise, she should be on the bottom of the sea now instead of a boat.

"This Lantern Festival has a part of reciting the moon every year, but it has been several years since no masterpieces have come out. This time, Mr. Zhao Xiaogong is also present, maybe it will be worth watching!"

"But Young Master Zhao has only written one poem so far, right? It shouldn't be possible to pass down a famous poem as soon as he writes it. Don't praise the murderer."

"It's about to start, it's about to start!"
