Chapter 64
Xiao Changyin hooked his lips helplessly, stretched out his hand and pinched her face, "Don't think about it."

Yun Zhao snorted and forgot to slap his hand off.

Immerse yourself in your imagination.

So it wasn't Xiao Changyin who was possessed by the spirit, but the emperor?
Xiao Changyin lost some memory, and it's normal for his behavior to be different from before, while the other...should have never knocked his head.

It is not known if he is insane.

But... I heard that if you have a mad disease, you will drool and bite.

It shouldn't be, and if the king of a country is insane, he won't be let out so easily.

What a pity, Yun Zhao thought.

Since he didn't hit his head or get mad, then he was possessed by a spirit?

Yun Zhao moved the chair indistinctly, getting further away from the emperor, but getting closer to Xiao Changyin.

The queen moved the corner of her lower lip impatiently, and looked at the emperor with a lot of resentment in her heart, how could he do it like this, as if nothing had happened.

As if everything had never happened, as if he could turn back the time to a few years ago as long as he looked back.

The queen only felt it was ridiculous, she pretended to be calm, but in fact she knew that she had never forgotten everything, she always remembered it.

"Once or twice is enough, it's not interesting to listen to it all the time." The queen said.

On the stage, there was already babbling and singing.

After hearing this, the emperor did not forget to say to the queen, "What Zitong said is true."

Several concubines who wanted to have a look in front of the emperor were in a hurry. They finally begged the empress to allow them to meet His Majesty.

It can be seen that I saw them, but His Majesty didn't look at them much.

If it weren't for the lack of a mirror at hand, several people would have to take a closer look to see if they had become ugly.

On the contrary, they are beautiful, in addition to the beauty of appearance, there is also beauty from youth.

Compared with concubines with children, they don't have the charm and gentleness of children, but they have a vigorous temperament like the growth of all things in early spring.

This kind of temperament is not inferior to the concubines who have been in the palace for many years.

But in the eyes of the emperor, they are no different from the delicate flowers in the imperial garden, the palace servants around them, and the actors on the stage in front of them.

Halfway through the play, the queen asked someone to take the reward money and throw it on the stage.

Seeing this, the emperor asked Shouan to do the same.

Several concubines kept winking at the queen, hoping that the queen would remind His Majesty that they were here.

The queen was so focused on the play that she didn't see these winks.

Concubine Zheng saw it, and slowly took a sip of the tea, and smiled, "Your Majesty is always busy with court affairs these days, so it's hard to find time for leisure."

Concubine Zheng was on the emperor's right hand side, rubbing his arm to please the emperor at this time.

Seeing the emperor's eyes falling not far away, she continued, "It's okay for the courtiers and concubines, these younger sisters haven't seen His Majesty for several days."

She tugged on the emperor's sleeve, winking like silk, "Your Majesty should take a good look at your sisters."

Hearing this, several people couldn't help but cast grateful glances at Concubine Zheng.

They waited intently for the emperor to look at them.

The emperor really took a look, but after that one look, he withdrew his gaze and said, "The empress is thrifty, so don't be too extravagant."

The smiles on the faces of several people froze instantly. If they were in the bedroom at the moment, they would cry out loud.

Lin Guiren was also among the extravagant people, but she was not sad because of the emperor's words.

She carelessly covered the somewhat harsh sunlight with a round fan, and looked at the stage seriously.

The cost of what she wears is what a nobleman can use, and it is not beyond the rules, so the four words extravagance and waste really shouldn't be used on her.

If you want to blame, you can blame the person who made the grades in the first place.

Left and right will not be her problem.

Several people were said to be extravagant and wasteful. At this time, they tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, lest His Majesty look over and think of their extravagant waste again.

The queen frowned, and said to the emperor, "That's the case with them, it's not extravagant."

The emperor paused, knowing that the empress was soft-hearted, but he would not take back what he said just now to a few people, so he just nodded and said, "I know."

The actors on the stage continued to sing, but most of the people present had no intention of listening to the opera.

Yun Zhao should be the busiest one among them.

While watching the play on the stage, she stretched her ears and paid attention to the play next to her from the corner of her eye.

I was so anxious that I wished I could learn the split body technique, split one into two, and the scenes on both sides would not be left behind.

After a while, she seemed to feel that her behavior of listening to the play over there was quite inappropriate, so she leaned over to ask Xiao Changyin.

"Do you want to leave first?"

"It seems that we are not suitable to appear here?"

Xiao Changyin didn't watch any of the plays, just rested his eyes with half-closed eyes, and pulled Yun Zhao's sleeve with his right hand.

Hearing her words at this moment, he unconsciously opened his eyes.

Because the sun was high, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Yun Zhao's heart skipped a beat when he saw him like this, always thinking that he was planning to plot something.

"You don't have to leave."

"Just watch a play."

He meant something, and gave Yun Zhao a bowl of almond tofu.

The chefs in the small kitchen of the East Palace are really good at their skills, Yun Zhao immediately gave up his wild thoughts and began to taste the food seriously.

"Princess Concubine is still like a child, how long has it been, and she's hungry?" Concubine Zheng covered her lips with a handkerchief, giggling.

Seeing that the emperor's expression remained unchanged, Concubine Zheng continued softly, "I don't know where this habit came from. In the past, when courtiers and concubines went to theaters, at most they would eat a piece of dim sum."

Yun Zhao looked at the bowl in his hand, he couldn't take it or put it away for a while.

It would be great if Concubine Zheng was closer to her, so she could directly slap the almond tofu on her face.

The Queen looked at Concubine Zheng, Concubine Zheng's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and she regretted what she said just now.

"How can the Crown Princess compare to you, Concubine Zheng?" the queen said.

Concubine Zheng didn't think it was a compliment to her, so she said, "Prince Princess is young, so naturally she has a good appetite."

Concubine Zheng's face froze, and she heard the voice, is it saying that she is old and therefore has a bad appetite?
After all, she was much younger than the Queen.

Concubine Zheng touched her cheek, wanting to stab the queen a few words, but she couldn't say such words to the queen's face where no signs of aging could be seen.

She inadvertently met the emperor's gaze, and was startled by the coldness in it.

So he quickly sat there obediently, and said, "What the empress said is that the concubine really feels that she is getting older, not as old as before."

"I vaguely remember that I used to love to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes when I went to theaters, and I could eat a whole box every time."

With Concubine Zheng's words, the other concubines, including those who were old and already had children, all stretched out their hands and started to eat snacks.

Yun Zhao ate almond tofu and guessed, maybe they had a good appetite to prove that they were still young?
