Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

After taking off her gorgeous palace robe and putting on a Russell satin skirt, Zhang Yan looks like the girl next door, charming but not gaudy at all.

"I pay my respects to the ruling lord!" Zhang Yan bowed slightly to Wang Qi.

"I could have arrived on time, but there was an impromptu meeting that delayed me. I'm a little late. Please don't mind, Queen Mother." Gong'e behind Wang Qi stepped forward, served hot tea and cakes to the two of them, then bowed and left. Only two people were left in the huge palace.

Outside the palace, Nanny Chen ordered several senior palace ladies with a solemn face: "Go and lead people to guard the entire Cining Palace. From now on, no one is allowed to come and disturb without the Queen Mother's instructions. If anyone dares to say a word about what happened today, they will never be able to speak again in this life!"

"The slaves obey."

Following several palace ladies, they left quickly.

Aunt Chen turned back to look at Cining's bedroom behind her, her eyes filled with concern.

At this moment, all the maids in Cining Palace were gone, and it seemed a little quiet. Only Wang Qi and Queen Mother Zhang were left, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

"It's the Queen Mother's birthday today. I heard that the palace is preparing for a big event. However, the Queen Mother issued an order to reduce all kinds of expenses and expenses. She only held a banquet in the front palace, and there were no opera troupes or dancers. ," Wang Qi sat on the stool, fidgeting with the tea lid with his right hand, thinking about saying a few words before leaving.

The stunning Queen Mother of the 20th century was a widow in the palace. As a man and the actual helmsman of the empire, Wang Qi could not stay here for a long time.

Taking a deep breath to calm down her somewhat gloomy mood, Empress Dowager Zhang moved lightly and sat opposite Wang Qi: "The Ai family doesn't like to make noise. Tonight's banquet, if it weren't for the little emperor making a fuss with the capital, The Ai family didn't even want to have a banquet when they met the old people inside. "

"It doesn't matter if we meet each other. Living in the palace for a long time is also boring. In the future, when the time is right, the parliament is also considering releasing the personal restrictions of the previous royal family, and they can freely enter and exit the inner palace." Wang Qi did not care about the previous royal family. The little emperor and the elders were in contact with each other. If they were isolated, it would be too unhuman. Besides, what could a child without any orthodox education accomplish? What does he want?

"The Ai family is here to thank you for Ci Lin." Empress Dowager Zhang stood up and bowed slightly, then remembered something: "Your Excellency came here directly from the government office, and must have never eaten. The Ai family will ask someone to serve it. Your Excellency first Pad your belly."

"I'm not busy. I have something else to do. I'm going back home first," Wang Qi said, already standing up.

"Sir," Queen Mother Zhang looked a little delicate with her bare face and beautiful eyes: "Today is my family's birthday, and I am lonely in the palace. How about having a drink with my family?"

Looking at Wang Qi who was close at hand but out of reach, Queen Mother Zhang almost prayed: "Just this once."

Looking at Queen Mother Zhang, Wang Qi felt a little soft-hearted.

After all, Zhang Yan's situation today was also caused by Wang Qi.

For this queen mother, the consul felt guilty after all.

"Okay, let's try the food in the Queen Mother's Palace," Wang Qi nodded and sat down again.

Not long after, under Zhang Yan's instructions, Grandma Chen personally carried a box of dishes into the hall. After placing the dishes, she bowed and left.

Wang Qi looked at the five plates of side dishes and a pot of wine and smiled: "If these five dishes of side dishes are ordinary food from farmers outside the city, some people would believe it."

"Except for being exquisite, there are no other advantages." Zhang Yan stood up and poured a glass of wine for Wang Qi, and also filled it for herself: "Thank you, sir, for drinking with me today."

"Happy birthday," Wang Qi subconsciously picked up the wine glass and saluted: "Be in good health."

A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she pursed her red lips. Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that adults would say such things in such a scene, so I don't want to hear them."

"Thank you." After saying this, Zhang Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Qi also drank the first cup.

In Cining Palace, there haven't been two voices for a long time. Most of the time, Queen Mother Zhang spent her time alone.

Wang Qi didn't drink too much and spent most of his time listening silently.

After drinking, the Queen Mother seemed to have suddenly taken off her mask and dignity, and instead became a little willful and unruly.

After all, she is just a twenty-one-year-old woman.

Wang Qi didn't know the pressure he was under in the deep palace, and he couldn't empathize with it.

From a carefree life outside the capital as a child, to being selected as a show girl to enter the palace when she grew up, and then to being selected as a queen.

From a carefree little girl, she grew into a stunning queen.

Moreover, Emperor Tianqi's neglect, criticism from officials outside the palace, surveillance at any time and anywhere in the palace, and the frame-up of the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian had to be dealt with.

There are too many things in between that shouldn't be borne by a little girl.

By now, the empire has become history, and even the title of Queen Mother is due to the charity of the man in front of her.

Today is his birthday, but he just had a banquet at the previous dynasty. Who among the old people and relatives of the previous dynasty really care about him?
The remaining elders probably regarded this banquet as a place to communicate and collude with each other.

Who knows the depression in Zhang Yan’s heart?
When a person is depressed, it is easy to get drunk
After Zhang Yan drank half a bottle of wine, she looked at the man in front of her and became a little crazy.

"They all say that the slave's parents are very good-looking, what do you think?" Zhang Yan opened her red lips lightly, her eyes a little blurry.

"Queen Mother, you are drunk," Wang Qi noticed that the atmosphere had become subtle.

"You only had one drink," Queen Mother Zhang pouted, obviously unhappy. She ignored Wang Qi's words and just said to herself: "You stole the wine!"

Wang Qi had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drink it all.

On weekdays, Wang Qi prides himself on being able to drink a thousand cups, and he is unrivaled in drinking with Qin Erbao and others. But today, after only drinking one glass of wine, he felt his chest and abdomen burning, making it difficult to control himself.

While thinking about it, Empress Dowager Zhang, who was one step away from Wang Qi, stood up. As she gently pulled at her with her jade hands, all the skirts wrapped around Xue Ni's body fell off.

Without any reservation, everything about Zhang Yan was exposed in front of Wang Qi.

"Why is this necessary?" Wang Qi was a little confused.

"I only want tonight, not a long time together." Zhang Yan, who had crushed the woman's dignity, became indifferent.

In Wang Qi's eyes, the Queen Mother's identity is not an obstacle, nor is it a big deal. When the matter reaches this point, it is only a matter between men and women.

Zhang Yan has achieved this, so why should Wang Qi think twice?
Drink all the wine left in the jug.

"To answer your question first," Wang Qi said with a smile, "You are absolutely beautiful."

After saying this, Wang Qi stood up and walked towards the Queen Mother. (End of chapter)
