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.
The empress dowager's meaning was very simple. It was nothing more than that Zhou Fu was pregnant, so the emperor had to pay more attention to her.
Su Zeyi frowned, but still agreed to it.
None of this was a big deal. It was just that he was very annoyed, as he did not have much freedom of his own. There were many things he had to sacrifice to be an emperor.
Some were lost, some were gained; these were all common things, and Su Zeyi was able to think things through.
Zhou Xu kept staring at Su Zeyi, waiting for him to ask his this question.
As expected, after Su Zeyi finished talking with the empress dowager, he looked at her.
"Is Imperial Consort X well today?" Su Zeyi casually asked, half perfunctory with the empress dowager, half perfunctory with Zhou Xu.
"Chenqie is in great health. Many thanks to the emperor for his concern." Zhou Xu bashfully replied, the stone in her heart finally dropped to the ground.
She thought that Su Zeyi would not ask her, so wouldn't that be a big joke?
"With your pregnancy, you must always remember that your body is no longer on your own. You have to listen to the imperial physician's instructions and not eat because of the medicine. I've been very busy lately, so I can't accompany you at all times. You have to be more sensible." Although it sounded like he was holding onto Zhou Xu and the child in her womb, in reality, he was still trying to find an excuse for not going to see her often.
How could he be so busy? In the end, he just didn't want to go.
Zhou Xu did not understand what Su Zeyi meant, what she heard was just Su Zeyi's care and concern for her.
"Yes, chenqie will remember this. Thank you, Your Majesty." She was overjoyed. She shifted in her seat and straightened her back. She took a deep breath and was very proud of herself.
After Su Zeyi finished speaking, he did not say anymore. His singing and dancing performance was not bad, Su Zeyi said to Yun Mengqi: "You have learnt very quickly, I think the harem is already in order, you must have done a great job."
Yun Mengqi was overwhelmed by the favor, just now when she saw Zhou Xu's small and cute look, she was extremely righteous, and with just a word from Su Zeyi, all the fire in her heart dispersed, leaving only sweetness.
If it was such a Su Zeyi. It would be better if it belonged to her alone.
Yun Mengqi had known of Su Zeyi's excellence since she was young, and she also knew how many women stood by Su Zeyi's side.
But when she was young, she already had such a dream, but the dream was only a dream because it could not be realized.
To be able to sit beside him like this, Yun Mengqi knew that he should be satisfied.
But satisfaction was truly difficult. She had tried it before and also tried it before, but once she thought about how there were still so many women who wanted to use her corpse and approach Su Zeyi, she truly had no way to be satisfied, nor did she have no way to not be afraid.
Right now, she was worrying about things that were happening one after another. Yun Mengqi could only calm down when she looked at Su Zeyi and listened to what Su Zeyi had to say.
Zhong Miao Yi continued to eat. She did not care who Su Zeyi was talking to, as long as he did not talk to her.
She didn't want to be the center of attention, nor did she want to be discussed. She just wanted to eat in peace.
But what the Zhong Miao Yi did not know was that Zhou Yitong had already set her sights on her from the very beginning.
Zhou Yitong seemed to have understood in an instant why Yun Mengqi hated the Zhong Miao Yi so much, why she must kill the latter, and why she would fight to the death in the Su Family.
The moment Zhou Yitong saw the look in her eyes, Zhou Yitong understood.
No matter how many people said that the Zhong Miao Yi was favored over, they couldn't compare to the intensity and terror of that instant of impact.
That's completely deep love, Su Zeyi. he had given his heart to the Zhong Miao Yi.
