Chapter 430

Soon after, the palace hall became even livelier. Today’s small banquet was considered a family banquet, with most of the guests being princes, princesses, royal clans, and nobles. Everywhere they looked, there were princes and princesses in sight.

In comparison, the classless Qin Jiu was inconspicuous little shrimp among them, as she conscientiously followed the crowd, bowing when it was time to bow, and then eating and drinking.

Empress Dowager Liu was old and lacked energy. Not long after the banquet started, she returned to her palace to rest.

Halfway through the banquet, people gradually went out to change clothes and then came back, in, and out, creating a lively atmosphere. Qin Jiu who was already full of food was now sleepy and almost fell asleep after hearing the slow and leisure sound of silk and bamboo lullaby.

Suddenly, a young eunuch hurriedly walked up to the emperor and whispered a few words to him.

The emperor’s face suddenly turned pale and anger surged in his eyes.

Only Empress Wei who was sitting next to the emperor notice his reaction causing his brows to twitch.

The next second, the wine glass in the emperor’s hand was placed heavily on the table making a “bang” sound.

The banquet, which was originally filled with chatter and laughter, suddenly fell silent, and all court musicians who were playing the music stopped.

All the eyes below turned towards the emperor on the throne. Although they could not hear what the eunuch reported, they could still tell that the emperor’s mood had become quite bad because of this matter.

What the hell was going on? Was it public affairs or personal?

There was silence in the hall and the air became solemn.

Many people below whispered to each other, speculating on what had happened. Qin Jiu was also curious, and her drowsiness ran away in a flash, feeling refreshed.

“Your Majesty?” Empress Wei approach with concern, and when the emperor raised his hand, signaling her to be silent, she did nothing else.

By the time the next day, the well-informed Qin Zening inquired and came back to tell Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu. “Yesterday, when Miss Tang went out to change her clothes she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the Second Prince.”

Qin Jiu: “?”

Qin Jiu’s expression became extremely complicated, why did she think this scene sounded so familiar.

So, the same plot was staged twice on the same day?

Qin Jiu was almost ready to applaud Tang Fengchun.

It was winter now, she feels cold even after holding hand stove and only wished she could hide in her room every day with a charcoal basin, and yet, this Tang Fengchun actually had the determination to jump into the lake twice.

This was truly a well-deserved female protagonist, and she was not afraid of pneumonia due to cold. She was really very dedicated!

Qin Jiu could not help but start thinking wildly.

Meanwhile, Qin Zening was still talking. “I heard that there were three or four princes who went to change clothes at that time, and they all saw it. They said that the second prince had a close physical relationship with Tang Fengchun. Tang Fengchun was rescued and fainted from shame...”

Qin Jiu felt like she was listening to a radio drama, although she did not see it with her own eyes, but based on her shallow understanding of Tang Fengchun, her acting skills have always been good that she may even be able have a chance in the entertainment industry in modern times.

Qin Zenin sighed, “The Emperor must be angry.” That’s why the emperor gave the Second Prince and Tang Fengchun a marriage right then and there.

“Definitely.” Qin Jiu felt the same, and Qin Zeyu from the sideline was in charge of nodding in agreement.

The second prince has been jumping up and down, which had worn out the emperor’s last patience.

Although it has only been a short year since she came to this era, Qin Jiu already feels that it has been a very long time, and she has bounded with the people here. They were no longer people in the novel, but living people.
