Chapter 223 Give Gifts During the Mid-Autumn Festival
Chapter 223 Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and giving gifts
At night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Decheng City is still brightly lit, and the city is particularly lively because of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After all, Xiao Qi was just a child, and Su Jinxiu took him and played like crazy for a few days.
Now, I feel much better.
In the afternoon, Su Jinxiu took them back to Yueji.
Get into the kitchen and prepare a table of delicious dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When he looked up, he saw Deng Donkey carrying two plucked game animals.
"Uncle Deng bought some wild duck again today? The wild duck last year was delicious."
Uncle Deng laughed twice and handed the wild duck over.
"Yes! Maybe there will be wild ducks to eat every Mid-Autumn Festival from now on!"
Su Jinxiu took the wild duck and started working.
By the time the food was served, it was getting dark.
The family gathered in the backyard, preparing to eat.
Suddenly, I heard Li Zhaodi's surprised voice outside.
"Jinxiu, Naofumi and Taohua are back."
Su Jinxiu got up and went out, only to see Su Shangwen and Su Taohua jumping out of the carriage.
He ran through the door and hugged Su Jinxiu.
"Sister (eldest sister), we will come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."
Su Jinxiu smiled and looked back.
“It came just in time, the food is on the table, just waiting to be eaten.
By the way, where is that boy Shangwu?"
When Su Taohua heard this, her expression changed.
It was Su Shangwen who reacted quickly and took over the conversation.
"That boy was too bad at his studies, so he was left behind by his teacher.
We have a heavy workload and cannot stay long.
I have to go back tomorrow, just bring him some food when I go back."
Su Jinxiu was a little funny and pulled Su Taohua back.
"We have to let that kid remember a long time. Let's go eat first..."
The moon is full in the sky and the people on the earth are reunited.
The whole family was having a great time eating and drinking.
————————————
In the capital city, the full moon rises into the sky.
The dinner in the palace was really lively.
Singing and dancing made peace, and people drank and drank.
Everyone was drunk, but Xiao Jingze, dressed in black, was sober alone.
Sitting under Emperor Jing, he was out of tune with everyone.
Emperor Jing looked at Xiao Jingze and frowned.
This time, he clearly sent Mu Qingyu and Shen Yu to take over the investigation of the Jingtie case.
However, Xiao Jingze still intervened and intercepted the fine iron.
It was a combination of circumstances that solved the Decheng Huazi case.
Amid the public disparagement of Xiao Jingze, there were actually a few more favorable words.
Xiao Jingze, the regent, is not that cold-blooded and violent.
This was not what he wanted to hear.
It's a pity that Xiao Jingze has been very calm recently, so he can't find a single fault.
Emperor Jing's hand couldn't help but tighten.
Seeing this, Xu Liangdi on the side smiled and held his hand.
Although he was implicated in a corruption case and was demoted earlier, it was only a few months ago.
She was promoted from a beauty to a good lady, which shows that Emperor Jing loved her.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the daughter of the Hou family in Zhenyuan was found a few days ago.
Are you here today? Are you at the table?"
These words reminded Emperor Jing, and he had a thought in his mind.
He curled his lips and raised his hand slightly.
"Of course it is there, I just saw it.
It seems to be over there!"
Lin Zhaozhao heard this and hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"My daughter Lin Zhaozhao, please see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Emperor Jing nodded and motioned for her to get up.
"Earlier, I heard.
The daughter of the Hou family was lost, and it took him sixteen years to find the real daughter.
This is more exciting than the drama in the picture book, is Miss Lin still used to it in the capital?"
Lin Zhaozhao nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything will be fine with my mother here."
Emperor Jing glanced at Xiao Jingze and smiled mockingly.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the regent was in trouble while he was in Wucheng.
Fortunately, he was rescued by a village woman, who was the fake daughter who was kicked out by the Hou family.
The regent seemed to have met her in Decheng.
I am so curious that I have been able to establish relations with the Prince Regent several times.
Who is this woman who has not been scared away yet?"
Emperor Jing was afraid of Xiao Jingze and kept sending people to keep an eye on him.
Knowing these things, it’s not surprising.
When it came to Su Jinxiu, Lin Zhaozhao didn't know what to say.
Saying someone is good is putting yourself down.
It's okay to say that people are bad! There is also a suspicion of jealousy.
Fortunately, Zhou Yixiu got up and rescued Lin Zhaozhao.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, Zhaozhao has been detained by me since he came back.
He did not meet Su Jinxiu alone.
However, I have been Su Jinxiu’s mother for sixteen years.
But I know a thing or two, she is not a good person..."
Snap, Xiao Jingze put down the wine glass he was playing with.
Just in time, Zhou Yixiu was interrupted.
"Madam, I have brought you some interesting things from Decheng.
Go back later and have a good look."
Zhou Yixiu frowned and could only thank him first.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I would like to thank you in advance for your kindness."
She only thought that Xiao Jingze said this in front of Emperor Jing because he was deliberately using the Hou Mansion to cause trouble for the emperor.
At that moment, I forgot what I was going to say, so I bowed and went back to sit down.
The banquet was coming to an end when it was interrupted by this.
Emperor Jing also showed no interest, so he stood up and hugged Xu Liangdi and left first.
Everyone also dispersed.
Zhou Yixiu took Lin Zhaozhao out of the palace gate and prepared to take a carriage back to Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
As soon as Lin Zhaozhao raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Jingze dressed in black.
Riding a black horse passing by the palace gate, the people attending the banquet tonight are all bringing their families.
Three or two people were gathered together, but he was alone and out of place.
Now that I was drunk, I thought that Xiao Jingze had actually prepared a gift for his mother.
Does this mean that he intends to win over the Hou family?
She composed herself and was about to step forward.
Zhou Yixiu caught a glimpse and held her hand without moving.
"Zhaozhao, there are many eyes and ears at the palace gate.
If the emperor knew that you were close to the regent, he might be afraid of the prince's family.
Besides, I suffered a loss at the hands of the regent last time.
It's better to stay away from him."
Lin Zhaozhao smiled and patted Zhou Yixiu's hand.
"Don't worry, mother, I know it."
Who is that little emperor? He is just a puppet of Xiao Jingze.
It won't be long before Xiao Jingze will replace him.
Seeing Xiao Jingze riding over, Lin Zhaozhao slightly bent his knees and saluted.
"Your Majesty is a thousand years old, and the moonlight is extremely beautiful today.
Zhao Zhao was bold and invited the prince to admire the moon together.
I sincerely request the prince to move to the Marquis Mansion."
Zhou Yixiu frowned, a boudoir lady.
Taking the initiative to invite someone outside is already out of bounds.
What's more, the person who invited me was Xiao Jingze.
Xiao Jingze curled his lips mockingly and looked at Zhou Yixiu.
"My wife has taught my daughter well, and I am impressed by her."
Zhou Yixiu's face turned red and white, and she caught a glimpse of the ministers looking here.
Regardless of saluting, he gritted his teeth and pushed Lin Zhaozhao into the carriage.
The carriage left and Lin Zhaozhao opened the curtain.
I saw Xiao Jingze, dressed in black and wearing a black horse, disappearing into the darkness.
She couldn't help but get angry and glanced at Zhou Yixiu.
"Mother, if you don't stop me, the prince will definitely come back to the prince's mansion with me."
Zhou Yixiu came back only after thinking about Lin Zhaozhao, but she didn't understand the power of it.
"If mother doesn't stop you, you will become a joke to the whole city tomorrow."
