Chapter 50
"The emperor is here—the empress is here—"

Ji Yuan's voice came from outside the hall, the prince immediately got up and followed the officials to salute.

The empress and the emperor came side by side, dressed in a grand manner, until they sat down on the throne, the emperor raised his hand and said, "Zhuqing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone sat down, the emperor looked around with a smile on his face, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Cijiu, and he paused for a while.

"Yongning's clothes are still so plain today. The materials that the queen and I rewarded you before, you put them in the warehouse to eat ashes?"

Xie Cijiu stood up neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "The courtiers are still in filial piety, so it is not appropriate to wear bright red and green."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Is it inappropriate, or not happy?"

The prince also looked over, what does the father mean by this?
Everyone in the hall watched with bated breath, a little uncertain about the emperor's attitude.

But the queen was still smiling.

Xie Cijiu was silent for a moment, and said bluntly, "I don't like it."

The officials were surprised, okay, dare to say, the emperor has rewarded you with so much material, why don't you just say you don't like it?
The eyes of many people looking at Xie Cijiu changed, as if they were looking at the stunned young man who was ignorant of the world.

The smile in the queen's eyes cooled down inch by inch.

Really the same answer.

She turned her head to look at the emperor, and as expected, the emperor smiled more and more heartily, "Okay, since you don't like it, I won't reward those in the future. A few days ago, a small border country paid tribute to some moonlight brocade materials. I think it suits you very well." , I will reward you."

Xie Cijiu did not refuse, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sit down, stop standing."

The emperor waved his hand, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed again.

The queen joked: "This moonlight brocade is a rare and good thing. This year, I paid tribute to three horses, and the emperor rewarded you. You can't live up to the emperor's kindness this time."

Xie Cijiu smiled and said nothing.

A few words caused everyone to secretly speculate, what exactly are the emperor and queen trying to do?
Holding the thank you wine like this?Is it to make up for it or for the military power in the north?Or just flattering?

Although no one dared to speak, the audience was full of thousand-year-old foxes, and they could instantly understand each other's meaning with just one look.

The hall seems calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

The emperor raised his wine glass and finally got down to business, "Today's banquet is for the crown prince to clean up the dust. The corruption and fraud case in the south of the Yangtze River has been handled very well by the crown prince. I am very relieved. I respect the prince with this cup."

The prince stood up in fear and trepidation, holding the lamp in both hands, "It is the responsibility of the ministers to share the worries of the king. The sons and ministers have only done their duties, and the father is too honored."

The emperor's humble attitude towards him was quite useful, "Today we don't talk about the emperor and his ministers, but only about father and son."

He raised his glass and drank it down.

When the prince raised his head to drink, his eyes fell on Xie Cijiu from the corner of his eye. Seeing her looking over, he almost choked, his face flushed slightly.

Yan Zhihui: Why are you blushing? ?

He ground his teeth, turned his head and rubbed Xie Cijiu's wrist, don't look at him, look at me.

Xie Cijiu really looked down at him, just missing the Queen's sight.

"Apart from that, it's also for Yongning."

The queen poured wine for the emperor, and when it was full, the emperor raised the wine cup and turned to thank the wine.

Xie Cijiu was called and could only stand up.

"King Anbei did a great job in rescuing him. In order to protect me well, he sacrificed his life for righteousness. I feel ashamed in my heart. I will definitely take good care of Yongning in the future."

The emperor's words were sincere, his eyes were focused, and he looked quite sincere.

Xie Cijiu lowered his eyes to cover up the darkness inside.

Ashamed?I'm afraid it's not likely, right?
