C268 hyperpyrexia (1/2)

Almost all of them had arrived. They sat down as they talked in groups of twos and threes.

Yun Mengqi could not stand hearing how intimate Zhou Xu and the empress dowager were. Standing up, she walked over and smiled, ”Esteemed Empress Dowager, they are almost there. The emperor should be here soon.

After Yun Mengqi finished speaking, she glared at Zhou Xu, like a child fighting for candy.

Zhou Xu did not care about Yun Mengqi, and hugged the empress dowager's arm: ”Aunt, let's wait for the emperor to come before we start. Little Sister still has a lot of things to say to Aunt.”

Empress Dowager Xi smiled, but she couldn't win over Zhou Xu. She then nodded towards Yun Mengqi and said, ”Then wait for the emperor to come, then we can begin.”

Yun Mengqi clenched her fists, nodding as she smiled and sat back down.

When he sat down, Yun Mengqi realized that the Zhong Miao Yi was looking at him.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her face suddenly became a little hot.

Zhong Miao Yi had been looking at him this whole time? Didn't she already know about the changes in her expression?

Yun Mengqi looked away somewhat embarrassedly. This kind of recognition made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

”Esteemed Empress.”

Yun Mengqi was stunned for a moment. The one who whispered into her ear was Bao Er's voice.

Yun Mengqi regained her senses, looked at Bao Er and asked: ”What's wrong?”

”Empress, the emperor has already arrived at the front garden.” Bao Er reminded him that Su Zeyi was about to arrive.

When Su Zeyi came, at least she could follow him and sit together with him.

This was very crucial, and it also showed his status, serving as a warning to Zhou Xu.

When Su Zeyi arrived, the place was in an uproar. The imperial concubines looked forward to him and bowed as a form of greeting.

Su Zeyi walked past them, and when he arrived in front of the Zhong Miao Yi, he stopped and said: ”Come with me.” He pulled at her.

After doing all this, Su Zeyi sat down beside Yun Mengqi.

Zhou Yitong, who was beside Zhong Miao Yi, had an ugly expression. She was the one closest to him, so she could clearly see the charm and gentleness in the emperor's eyes.

Su Zeyi had never seen her with such a gaze before, so it was natural that he wouldn't look at anyone else with such a gaze as well.

That kind of expression could only belong to the Zhong Miao Yi.

was about to go crazy from this knowledge. She was just too jealous, what right did she have to do this? Which part of her Zhong Miao Yi was stronger than them? Why does the Emperor only have this woman in his heart?

After Su Zeyi sat down, he looked at Yun Mengqi, ”Empress, thank you for your hard work.”

Yun Mengqi was overwhelmed by the favor as her face flushed red, ”Your concubine did not work hard.

Su Zeyi was waiting for her to say these words. Once Yun Mengqi had finished, she turned and smiled at the Zhong Miao Yi: ”Consort Yun is also working hard.”

The gaze he used to look at Zhong Miao Yi was completely different from the one he used to look at Yun Mengqi.

Since Su Zeyi had arrived, the banquet would officially begin. After Yun Mengqi gave the order, dancing and singing came up, along with the prepared dishes.

Empress Dowager Xi did not continue talking to Zhou Xu, but continued to chat with Su Zeyi.
