As if she suddenly remembered something, Hu Xiao walked out as if she was sleepwalking.

”Zhi Lan, forget about it, change the banquet to tomorrow afternoon, we are in too much of a hurry today. Go and inform His Majesty that the banquet time has changed, otherwise, if His Majesty does not see me arranging the banquet at night, I wonder what he will say about me.”

Seeing Zhi Lan nod her head, Hu Xiao then slowly walked back into the house.

She laid on the bed, speechless. Who told her to be Qin Shuo's Queen now? Eating others was the shortest, their hands were softhearted, and now that Qin Shuo had raised him, it was only natural for him to be so. Otherwise, if he did not raise her, she would suffer a huge loss.

Thinking about it like that, she comforted herself, but after a while, she could not hear Hu Xiao mumbling to himself, Zhi Lan quietly walked in, and covered the cup that was kicked to the side by Hu Xiao.

As if she muttered something, Hu Xiao turned over and continued sleeping.

With a sigh of relief, he remembered Hu Xiao's orders and turned to leave.

When she was at the South Yue, she had once held such a banquet, for which Zhi Lan was experienced and unafraid, but the bad thing about it now was that Hu Xiao had asked for it to be taken as it was!

The imperial palace, especially the empress's banquets, only needed to serve whatever dishes were complicated and whatever was luxurious! However, this was not the palace. Even though the empress was hosting a banquet, this place was still filled with the flying Sui City of the affected people. Naturally, they could not be so extravagant!

After being troubled for a while, he did not know that he should do things like this. As he was thinking and thinking, Zhi Lan, who just informed the emperor about the change in time, suddenly met with a person at the corner.

”Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.”

When ordinary people saw Zhi Lan's face, they would only move aside. After all, Zhi Lan was the empress's close palace maid and the empress was extremely fond of him, so even the eunuchs and eunuchs of palace maid would respect him slightly. Furthermore, Zhi Lan's entire mind was filled with thoughts on what to do.

”Eh? Miss Zhi Lan! ”

Seeing that, Zhao Qiyan pulled Zhi Lan's arm.

In the past, the two of them would not be so distant from each other when they met, so no matter what, Zhi Lan would cast a sidelong glance at him. But today, she pretended not to see anything, causing Zhao Qiyan's heart to become nervous.

”Hmm? ”Who's pulling me?”

Knowing that Zhao Qiyan had grabbed her arm, Zhi Lan started to have a reaction, but she did not hear what Zhao Qiyan said. He only wanted to tear off the fingers on his own hands, but pulling back twice was useless, he could only turn around helplessly.

Ah!

Being shocked by the sudden close approach of Zhao Qiyan's face, it was fortunate that Zhao Qiyan was holding onto her hand, if not Zhi Lan would have already been so scared that she would have fallen to the ground.

”Miss Zhi Lan, it's me. Don't you recognize me?”

Zhi Lan's every movement was too strange, so she could not understand what she was saying.

”I know it's you, Great General Zhao, why are you grabbing onto my hand?”

He rolled his eyes at Zhao Qiyan who looked like a log. Zhi Lan was extremely dissatisfied with being scared by Zhao Qiyan just now.

”Miss Zhi Lan, it's like this. Just now, I saw that young lady's footsteps were unsteady, and was afraid that young lady might encounter trouble here. Thus, I caught young lady. I hope young lady does not mind.”

With that said, Zhi Lan seemed to recall what happened just now.
