Chapter 721
"Could it be that Lord Hou has too much to drink? Why didn't you raise your glass?" A minister asked curiously.

"Quit." Sima Fengji replied concisely.

"Stop it, a good man doesn't drink, that's a great joy in life!" The minister couldn't help joking.

"Helpless, the family education is very strict. Now, I don't drink at all."

As soon as this remark came out, the minister's expression became a little bit uneasy, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

There are not a few people who are afraid of guilt, but there are very few who admit it. It is really only one who admits it openly like this.

"Since that's the case, then don't force it any more. Lovers can do whatever they want." Bai Lihui said, and the atmosphere in the hall eased up a bit.

Ye Yao found that Concubine Zhen was sitting beside the Queen, serving the Holy Emperor and Queen like a maid.

Such a situation made Bailiyu on the side feel uncomfortable, a little forbearing, and a little distressed.

Ye Yao could tell that the mother and son must have a deep relationship.

Bailiyu is a child who knows how to love his mother.

"Do you want to eat something?" Sima Fengji asked softly.

"Just eat some fruit, I want that grape." Ye Yao pointed casually.

Sima Fengji immediately put it in front of her, and saw that little hand was holding a purple one and stuffed it into her little mouth.Afterwards, that small white jade-like hand was on the grapes, pulling back and forth.

The melons and fruits for the banquet in the palace were originally selected to be of the highest quality, but Ye Yao was still picking and choosing, eating up the purplest ones, and didn't want the rest, which was slightly green.

Seeing this scene, the queen had a slight smile on her lips.

"What do you think of these grapes, madam?"

Ye Yao raised his head, looked at the queen, and thought to himself, is she getting in the way of the queen if she eats a grape?
"The grapes are full, sour and sweet, and taste very good."

"Since the taste is good? Why do you think it doesn't suit Madam's taste? I just picked a few grapes. I still have some grapes here. If you don't have enough, eat them." The queen gestured to the person beside her The palace maid took down the grapes in front of her.

"The empress is different. When the grapes are growing, one side faces the sun, and the ones that receive more light will be darker in color, and naturally sweeter. Those that receive less light, or are not yet ripe, will appear green in color. Or if it is not dark enough, the taste will be slightly worse. It is normal that there are so many grapes in a bunch, the taste can be good or bad."

"I didn't expect Madam to do so much research on grapes. Madam usually eats grapes, but she always picks the purplest and sweetest ones?"

"That's natural. People have a mouth, so they naturally like delicious things, and I do the same. Besides, I have never seen such green grapes in our house." Ye Yao responded calmly, with the same momentum as the queen, Even, there is a feeling of being overwhelmed.

"So, there is a reason why Madam is so picky." The corners of the queen's lips raised slightly, and a smile appeared.

"That's natural, my wife, and I naturally want to do everything I can to give her the best, let alone a bunch of grapes?" Sima Fengji's voice cut in, not wanting the queen, because of this Channel the grapes and continue entanglement.

"What Marquis Shenwu said is correct. My wife is now in the palace, and her whole body is exquisite and impeccable."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I can still afford this expense." The smile on Sima Fengji's face had faded, he raised his head, and looked in the direction of the Empress.

The queen met that look, but it was only a moment's staggered.

"Empress, please try to see if what Mrs. Shenwuhou said is true. I usually only know how to eat grapes, but I don't know that there is such a thing. Instead, I can ask those grape growers to learn more, so that a bunch of grapes can be accepted. With the light, there will be more sweet ones in the grapes." After Zhenfei finished speaking, she immediately picked a few darker ones and put them on the plate in front of the queen.

"This is really a good idea, Concubine Zhen is really smart." Bai Lihui praised softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine is just listening to Madam's words and getting touched, otherwise how would the concubine think of these things." Concubine Zhen tactfully evaded.

"You don't have to refuse my beloved concubine, how can I not know about your kindness?" Bai Lihui held Concubine Zhen's hand.This time, she was willing to give up her son to the queen to make Yu'er the crown prince, and she didn't want any titles herself. Not everyone could have such generosity.

Seeing this scene, the queen felt very uncomfortable. If her prince hadn't died, why would she suffer such grievances!The majestic mother of a country has to accept the love of a concubine.

Besides, how could this Baili Yu compare to her prince!

In the main hall, it was restored to its previous appearance. Several ministers toasted each other, and Bai Lihui also raised his glass and drank from time to time.

Sima Fengji picked up Ye Yao and walked out of the hall.

"Go to that gazebo, there is no one there." Ye Yao casually pointed.

Sima Fengji immediately carried her over. It was indeed relatively quiet here, and he was not willing to put Ye Yao on the stool beside him, and just sat on his lap like this.

Ye Yao leaned in his arms like a docile kitten.

"What's wrong? Are you a little unhappy?"

"Is it necessary to be careless because of such a trivial matter?" Ye Yao sneered, "Today, I know how deep the empress's grudge against us has reached the point where it cannot be eliminated."

"That's her business, what does it have to do with us?" A trace of displeasure flashed across Sima Fengji's face.

Ye Yao smiled faintly, holding his cheeks, "You were really angry just now, weren't you?"

Sima Fengji held her little hand, sticking it to his heart. He held it in his hand for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting. He is so small that he can't allow others to say no!
Of course he is angry!If the queen continues to entangle, it will definitely not end like just now.

"Master Hou, madam." A voice came from behind.

Ye Yao turned around and saw that it was the two maids assigned by Concubine Zhen to serve them.

"The concubine Zhen ordered my servants to bring some melon and fruit snacks, please use them slowly."

"Thank you, Concubine Zhen, for me." Ye Yao replied politely.

The two maids immediately put out the contents of the food box, blessed Sima Fengji and Ye Yao, "Your servant will leave."

Ye Yao looked at the things on the table. They were all fruits, which seemed to have been carefully selected.

"Some people don't tell the truth, and some reciprocate. The forest is so big, what kind of birds don't exist? The world is so big, what kind of people don't?" Ye Yao raised his head and looked at Sima Fengji, only to see that he was still tense. A face, suddenly raised his hand and pinched his cheek.
