Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chapter 45 Emperor Ji returns to the palace ([-])

Nan Xi didn't expect that they would kowtow to her whenever they disagreed, but when she thought that this was Wansheng Country, she just let them go. If they were forced to change their habits, they wouldn't be able to adapt.

"Get up. Just serve him with all your heart in the future. You don't need to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire." Nan Xi laughed and raised one hand slightly to signal the two of them to get up.

Feiyun Huanyun thanked her excitedly, and then stood beside Nan Xi again.

Xia Houqi watched from the side and sighed again:
Nan Xi is more suitable to be the emperor concubine than Chu Xi, and she is better at winning people's hearts.

Feiyun Huanyun helped Nan Xi put on palace clothes and put on exquisite makeup. Xia Houqi looked at the carefully dressed Nan Xi and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes:

Very pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until you get into the carriage and take a closer look? If you don't go to the palace now, I'm afraid you'll miss the time."

Grandma Su was observing the two of them from the side and couldn't help but joke.

When Nanny Su said this, Xia Houqi coughed twice in embarrassment, then pretended that nothing happened and got on the carriage entering the palace with Nan Xi.

In the carriage, Nan Xi stared at Xia Houqi openly, and Xiahou Qi also stared at Nan Xi's face calmly.

"Is the prince satisfied with my face?"

"Well, I am very satisfied. What about you, are you still satisfied with me?"

The two people went back and forth, asking very straightforward questions.

"Your Majesty, you have a good figure and a good face. I am very satisfied." Nan Xi nodded with a smile and said.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi raised his eyebrows, looked at her playfully, and asked:

"It's just good? Are you not tempted?"

"Tempted? Is the prince asking about Chu Xi or Nan Xi?"

The two people raised their eyebrows to seduce each other, pulling each other ambiguously.

"Ask whoever it is now."

Hearing this, the corners of Nan Xi's lips raised, then she reached out and hooked Xia Houqi's neck, pulling him in front of her. Their breaths sprayed on each other's faces, and the distance was dangerous.

"What about the prince, are you tempted?"

When Nan Xi said this, her fingers kept wandering around Xia Houqi's face. Xia Houqi was stunned for a moment.

Just when Xia Houqi was slowly approaching Nan Xi, and just when Xia Houqi's lips were about to touch Nan Xi's face, Nan Xi directly reached out and pushed Xia Houqi away, pushing Xiahou Qi against the frame of the carriage. "Duang" sound.

"Tsk—"

An unhappy voice escaped from Xiahou Qi's lips. Just when Xiahou Qi was embarrassed, Nan Xi said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, if you kiss me now, you will lose your lips and lips. It will be a palace banquet later, which is not appropriate."

"It's not appropriate for you to hook up with me?"

"I didn't expect that the prince would be so irresistible to tease. It's my fault." The smile on Nan Xi's face grew wider.

Xiahou Qi was itching his teeth with hatred, thinking:

She must have done it on purpose!She knew clearly that it was a palace banquet later and couldn't make any mistakes, but she still wanted to tease him in the carriage on the way to the palace banquet!
But she was right about one thing. He really couldn't resist her deliberate teasing.

In the following period, Nan Xi and Xia Houqi both restrained themselves and did not provoke each other again.

In the palace, everything was festive, and the emperor's birthday was naturally held in a very dignified manner.

The ministers had already brought their families to the Imperial Garden and took their seats first.

The eldest prince and the third princess arrived at the scene early, and the courtiers who came and went greeted them respectfully.

The fourth princess, Nangong Zhaoxing, sat quietly in the corner and did not participate in this.

"Brother Emperor, why hasn't the regent come yet? Is he not coming?" Nangong Wanyue asked worriedly. "No, today is my father's birthday. The regent will definitely come. Please be patient and maintain the manner of a princess. Don't be anxious." Nangong Fuyang reminded softly.

After hearing this, Nangong Wanyue calmed down a little and waited patiently for Xia Houqi's arrival.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, they saw Xia Houqi appear wearing a dark red robe.

"I've met the eldest prince and the third princess." Xia Houqi walked up to them and said hello when he saw them.

"The Regent is well."

Nangong Wanyue glanced at Xia Houqi shyly:
The regent was particularly handsome today, which made Nangong Wanyue's girlish heart ripples.

Nangong Fuyang saw his sister's shy expression and smiled.

"Prince Regent, please take a seat. Father will arrive at the banquet shortly." Nangong Fuyang said calmly.

Xiahou nodded and walked directly towards his position without saying anything else.

Nangong Wanyue's eyes never moved away from Xia Houqi's appearance.

Xia Houqi only felt that the gaze directed at him was very disgusting, but he couldn't avoid it, so he could only sit there, drink tea, and pretend not to see Nangong Wanyue looking at him.

It was not until evening that Nangong Rui appeared in everyone's sight.

Following Eunuch Fu's shout, Nangong Rui came slowly in leather boots inlaid with gold threads.

"I am here to see you, your majesty. My emperor will enjoy happiness forever for thousands of years——"

Nangong Rui took his seat and then raised his voice:
"Everyone loves you——"

"Thank you, Your Majesty—"

After everyone took their seats, Nangong Rui smiled and said:
"Today is my fortieth birthday banquet. My dear friends, don't be cautious, just treat it as a family banquet."

After saying that, the people sitting below nodded in agreement.

Under the signal from Nangong Rui's eyes, Eunuch Fu began to arrange a song and dance performance to officially start tonight's banquet.

Dozens of dancers, dressed in pink sheer gauze clothes and holding folding fans, stepped forward, kissed Nangong Rui, and then began their choreographed dance steps.

Their slender waists swayed flexibly to the sound of musical instruments, and the folding fans in their hands kept turning, which was very graceful. Everyone present was infected by their dancing and immersed in it.

After one dance, the dancers all left and moved on to the next stage.

"On the emperor's birthday, the ministers present gifts——"

After Eunuch Fu finished singing, the courtiers below began to present gifts. Most of them were rare and rare treasures, which were just eye-catching and did not attract much attention.

It wasn't until all the courtiers had finished presenting their gifts that it was the turn of the royal family.

"I congratulate my father on his fortieth birthday. What I present here is a picture of a hundred years of longevity drawn by my own hands. I hope that my father will be more graceful every year."

As Nangong Fuyang spoke, he ordered the two young eunuchs to unfold the picture of a hundred years of longevity he had drawn.

After seeing this, Nangong Rui finally had a real smile on his face.

"Yes, Yang'er has a filial piety." Nangong Rui smiled and nodded, boasting.

Immediately afterwards, the third princess presented a gift. What she gave was the Diamond Sutra she had copied, saying that she would send it to the royal temple after the birthday banquet to pray for Nangong Rui.

Seeing this, the smile on Nangong Rui's face became even bigger. Finally, it was the fourth princess who had always been ignored.

Nangong Rui waved to her and signaled her to start giving gifts.

The fourth princess prepared an embroidery called Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.
