Chapter 30 - Confused Monarch's Dream

However, reality often went against one's wishes. Until Baili Yi Chen walked to Hong Zhong's front, Hong Zhong still did not show any signs of waking up.

Seeing this, Baili Mingyue frowned and said, "Your Imperial Majesty, please sit. We shouldn't let the officials wait too long."

Baili Yi Chen looked at the crowd standing behind him. Even the emperor hadn't sat down. Besides the imperial uncle's regent, Baili Mingyue, who else would dare to sit down first? With a cold snort, he swung his sleeves and stepped onto the dragon throne.

It was only at this moment that Red War Hous finally felt at ease. She gave a meaningful glance at Qingya, and then calmly sat down next to Hong Zhong.

While Hong Zhong was sleeping soundly, she heard someone calling out to him by her ear, "Young miss, young miss."

"Ah?" What's wrong? "What's wrong?" Hong Zhong forced herself to calm down and opened her eyes. She saw that the great hall was already filled with people, and on top of the dragon throne, Baili Yi Chen was staring at him with an extremely ugly expression.

"The Third Miss is truly extraordinary." This Si Nvren, she could actually fall asleep in such a scene?

"Heh heh... "How could that be? Your majesty, you're too kind!" Hong Zhong came to her senses, her face filled with a modest expression. Her pitch black paint-like eyes revealed a crafty light.

Praise?

Hearing these two words from Hong Zhong, Baili Yi Chen's eyes darkened. Could this Si Nvren not hear the mockery in his words? "You still want to praise me?!" Aren't you afraid that the actions of the Third Miss in the great hall will lead to you being chopped off because of the crime of being disrespectful to the Emperor? "

"maidservant was originally afraid." Hong Zhong looked at Baili Yi Chen with a pure and innocent face. She pulled up the golden chain on her chest and waved it in front of Baili Yi Chen, "But maidservant no longer worries after obtaining this item."

Baili Yi Chen frowned, only to see that on the golden chain in Hong Zhong's hand, there seemed to be a gold medal? Just as he was about to ask, Hong Zhong spoke out, "Your majesty, I have heard from my father that this piece of Gold Medal for Free from Death was bestowed by the previous emperor. So, let's just forget about the matter of kicking you last night, okay?

It was said that it was bestowed to the Red House by the late emperor himself. At that time, it could be understood as a method for royal father to rope in the ministers of the court, but now, the Southern Qi was able to do so with the help of the country and its citizens. Although the Red House held a neutral stance in the court, her prestige in the army had long ago become like the sun in the sky.

Just as he was about to carefully size up the Gold Medal for Free from Death, he was suddenly retracted by Hong Zhong, and leisurely hung the gold medal on his chest. Then, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This thing is only a maidservant's protective talisman, it's definitely not pleasing to the emperor. He had wanted to kill himself, yet he was in a good mood because of such a thing!

"You!" Baili Yi Chen's expression turned cold. He held his breath and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your expression is too petty. If you want to laugh until the end of the banquet, then I'd advise you to restrain yourself!"

"I thank the Emperor for his concern. This maidservant will definitely follow the imperial edict and act with caution!" Hong Zhong's expression did not change as she continued smiling and mumbling softly. It was not because she did not dare to speak loudly, but because she believed that even if she were to speak softly, Baili Yi Chen would still be able to hear her.

"I hope so!" A few words came out between his teeth with a stiff face.

"Definitely!"

"Humph!" Baili Yi Chen let out a cold humph, but in his heart, he was determined to kill this Si Nvren, even more so than before. It was also because of Baili Yi Chen's anxious anger that he did not notice the disbelieving and worried expression on Red Battle, who was at the side, when he saw the Gold Medal for Free from Death in Hong Zhong's hands.

Outside the door, a loud report came in, "Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived."

Following that figure of the phoenix robe, the woman with the luxurious body walked into the hall. Everyone stood up and exclaimed three times, it was no different from Hong Zhong this time.

Nangong Lingwei walked into the palace with Nangong Yimeng's support. Behind him was a large group of beautiful women who slowly walked towards the empress dowager's seat and sat down. The ladies behind slowly turned to look at the leader of the group. "maidservant greets the Emperor and the Regent."

When Baili Yi Chen saw the group of girls, his expression stiffened. He loosened his clenched fist under his sleeve and unnaturally raised it up, "Rest from being so courteous." Every single one of them were the daughter of a renowned family of the Southern Qi. However, he had set his sights on the country and did not want to fill up the harem so early on. Therefore, he was not too pleased with the way the Empress Dowager had tried to force all of these women into the harem.

As for Baili Mingyue, she did not even turn her head to look at those women. In fact, she did not even have a single eye. Instead, she only picked up the wine jug on the table and began to drink by herself.

"Thank you, your majesty." All the girls stood up. Only when she received the's imperial edict did she sit below Hong Zhong. After all, they were invited to accompany him today.

After everyone sat down, Baili Yi Chen held a wine cup in his hand and said to the people below, "Today is Imperial General's Estate's young general and Third Miss's welcoming banquet. There is no need for everyone to be so courteous. Little Fuzi, let's have a meal together."

"This subject thanks Your Majesty, and thanks the Regent." The ministers bowed once more. As for Young Prince Fu, he instructed the head eunuch of the imperial kitchens to begin serving the dishes.

"Play the music." Following Baili Yi Chen's command, the atmosphere of the Yanqing Hall became lighter and more cheerful.

Everyone knelt down once again. Hong Zhong speechlessly rolled her eyes, this evil feudal society, before even starting to eat, she had already knelt down several times. How could they still let people eat properly?

Get up and sit down.

However, he heard the words from the battle in his ears: "Zhong Er, if all the noble ladies are inviting us to fight, you can just say that we are from the family of generals and do not understand this path."

"Got it." Hong Zhong laughed mischievously. She had seen many scenes of this woman fighting techniques in her novels in her previous life, but all of them had one goal, which was to embarrass the female lead and lead a good life. How could she not be prepared for such a scenario?

"Also, explain to me what's going on with the Gold Medal for Free from Death later!" Red House does have a Gold Medal for Free from Death, but big brother has always been carrying that gold plate with him. But big brother did not rush back to Shengjing City yet, that gold plate in Zhong Er's hands … In fact, he really did not dare to think too much into it. He only felt that perhaps his father's worry was right, Zhong Er really shouldn't have returned this time!
