After being interrupted, Xia Wan looked at Eunuch Li unhappily, her eyes wanting to eat him up.
Eunuch Li, who was smiling beside the Emperor, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the resentful Xia Wan. When did he offend her? Eunuch Li was a little depressed, but he still respectfully followed behind the Emperor.
Everyone stood on both sides with their heads lowered and bowed respectfully.
"To the emperor!" "Greetings, Empress!"
"Rise!" The Emperor's majestic voice resounded throughout the Golden Crest Palace. Xia Wan couldn't help but sigh. This Emperor was also a great expert. She raised her eyes and secretly sized up the Emperor and Empress.
Emperor Mo Zhiqi was over fifty years old and had been in power for more than thirty years. Although he looked a little worn out, he was still handsome and spirited. It was not difficult to imagine how he had charmed a large number of women back then.
The years had polished him into a strong and determined man. He had a charming sense of maturity that only belonged to a man who had experienced wind and rain. It was fascinating. His dignified face was also gentle. Perhaps because of today's banquet, his slightly wrinkled lips always carried a subtle smile. This was such a perfect man, worthy of being the emperor of Ziqiu Kingdom!
The Empress was a mother to the world, and her appearance was a must, and Empress Qin Ya blended these well. Although she was wearing gorgeous gold jewelry, she did not look tacky like ordinary people. Instead, she exuded a noble aura from the inside out. Time had only left a shallow mark on her face. Her delicate and shiny skin showed how profound her maintenance skills were. The fragrance of the fragrant orchid was rich but comfortable, making people unable to resist smelling it a few more times.
Behind the Emperor and Empress were the meticulously dressed concubines. Xia Wan said softly in a daze,
"The emperor is really blessed. The three thousand beauties in the harem are really fat and thin, with all kinds of beauty.”
When Mo Lingyun heard her words, he lowered his voice and said,"
"Why don't you take a look at whose father it is?"
"How thick-skinned!" Xia Wan pinched his muscular arm with her right hand.
Mo Lingyun laughed and let her pinch him. This bit of strength was nothing.
The Emperor and Empress took their seats. The Empress turned to Eunuch Li and said,"Thank you, Eunuch Li. Are all the guests here?”
"The Crown Prince and Little Princess haven't arrived yet.”Eunuch Li lowered his head and replied, his voice tinged with helplessness.
"Alright, let's not wait for them. Let's begin.”the Empress said faintly.
"It's the Empress." Eunuch Li nodded and retreated respectfully.
The Empress turned to look at the Emperor beside her, her eyes filled with deep love.
"Now, let the banquet begin!"
Eunuch Li's high-pitched voice made Xia Wan shiver. After that, she followed Mo Lingyun to his seat. Seeing Mo Yuhao and Mo Ze at the side, she nodded politely.
Following Eunuch Li's voice, more and more palace maids and eunuchs brought out delicacies and fine wine. They immediately toasted each other, creating a lively atmosphere.
"This subject son and Wan 'er would like to offer a toast to Imperial Father and Aunt.”Mo Lingyun brought Xia Wan to the Emperor and Empress with a glass of wine.
"Wan 'er cheers to the emperor and empress.”
"Alright, alright!"
Mo Zhiqi looked at his beloved ninth son and daughter-in-law with a gratified smile, and Qin Ya also raised her glass with a smile. The four of them drank the wine in their cups and smiled at each other.
"I didn't expect my son's wife to have such a good alcohol tolerance.”Mo Zhiqi laughed happily and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with satisfaction.
"Replying to the emperor, Wan 'er's alcohol tolerance is still shallow and can only drink a little.”
"Don't call me emperor, emperor. We're all family in the future. Just call me and empress, father and aunt.”
"Yes…Father." When Xia Wan heard this, she called out stiffly.
Qin Ya waved at Xia Wan and gestured to her side.""Wan Er, come over and let this widow take a look."
"Aunt."
"She's really exquisite! Ninth Brother sure is lucky with women…"
"YiNiang praises me too much!" Although Mo Lingyun said that, his eyes were filled with approval.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Xia?" Qin Ya, who was chatting with Xia Wan, saw Xia Yi holding a wine glass and greeted him warmly.
"Yo, Brother Xia Yi!" The emperor completely dropped his airs as an emperor and knocked Xia Yi's shoulder with his fist." How have you been?”
"Haha, you old fellow, thanks to you, everything went smoothly.”
"Come, let's not talk about political affairs today. Let's get drunk!”Mo Zhiqi raised his head and drank the wine in his glass. Xia Yi also drank it and raised his glass to signal to each other.
"Hui 'er, I didn't expect us to really become in-laws.”When Qin Ya saw Ouyang Hui, she held her hand intimately.
"Yeah, these two children are really compatible!”Seeing her best friend of many years, Ouyang Hui started to chat, leaving Xia Wan and Mo Lingyun to the side. The two of them looked at the four people who were chatting happily with black lines on their faces.
The rest of the people also ate and drank. A few of them who were familiar with each other drank and chatted together, enjoying the singing and dancing. The banquet was filled with joy.
Xia Wan and Mo Lingyun returned to their seats and saw Mo Ze leisurely drinking wine while Mo Yuhao was arguing with Lu Minxi over a piece of chicken breast.
"Lu Minxi! Don't you have any?" Mo Yu Hao gritted his teeth, he had no image at all.
"I only have chicken drumsticks. I want to eat chicken breast. You're the older brother, so you should give it to your younger sister!”Lu Minxi glared back.
"But I want to eat too. I won't give it to you!" Mo Yuhao pulled the plate away from Lu Minxi.
"Will you die if you don't give it to me?"
"Then will you die if you don't eat it?" Mo Yu Hao raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with ridicule.
The battle between the two became more intense. Xia Wan ate the chicken breast on the plate while happily watching the two of them quarrel as soon as they met.
"Look, Sister Xia Wan has it. Why don't you ask her for it?”Mo Yu Hao's sharp eyes saw Xia Wan who was eating the chicken breast and pointed at her.
"Wan 'er is about to finish eating. You still have a lot. I want yours!”When he wasn't paying attention, Lu Minxi picked up the chicken breast with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
"Lu Minxi!" Mo Yuhao saw that the chicken breast was eaten and immediately became angry. Lu Minxi saw that the situation was not right and quickly sneaked to Xia Wan's side, making a face at Mo Yuhao.
At this moment, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess rushed over. Everyone was looking at them, making the two of them very embarrassed.
"Everyone, please continue. This highness encountered some small trouble on the way, so I came late with the crown prince consort.”
Everyone laughed and continued eating and drinking.
"Tian 'er, why are you only here now?"
"Greetings, Imperial Father!" Crown Prince Mo Tianqi bowed respectfully." Your son should have arrived on time, but the road was being repaired, so I had to take a detour.”
"I see."
"Since you're here, hurry up and sit down." Qin Ya waved at them.
"Thank you, Mother!" Mo Tianqi supported the Crown Princess, Duan Cai, who was more than four months pregnant, and slowly walked to her seat.
Xia Wan looked at them from the side, and coincidentally, Duan Cai's eyes met hers. Xia Wan nodded with a smile, and Duan Cai also responded silently but politely, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. However, according to the memories of Xia Wan's body, she had only seen Duan Cai at the Crown Prince's wedding. At that time, she had only been sighing at her beauty and did not realize that the two of them had such a strong tacit understanding.
