Chapter 844 It’s a Deal!
Jin Yao was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year. When she was born, everyone said that she had a precious destiny and would be blessed in the future.
Now she is indeed a royal concubine, and she is only one step away from becoming the queen.
Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "Yes, today is indeed your birthday. Do you want to have a banquet tonight?"
"Yes, if the emperor is not busy... I would like to invite the emperor over for a drink." Jin Yao smiled softly.
Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while, looked at her expectant eyes, nodded and said, "That's fine."
A happy smile appeared on Jin Yao's face.
Zhao Yuanjing held Yun Dai's hand and said, "Let's go."
Yun Dai took out her hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please leave first. I have something to say to Aning."
She was two steps behind, waiting for Guo Ning.
Zhao Yuanjing looked back at her.
Jin Yao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's go, the Empress Dowager is still waiting."
Yun Dai ignored them and waited for Guo Ning to come over. The two of them walked side by side.
"Headache?" Yun Dai asked Guo Ning.
Guo Ning's eyes were filled with the remnants of a hangover, and he said with a wry smile: "I went back to stay vigil and watched the fireworks before going to sleep. Fortunately, you sent me the hangover soup, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wake up."
"Drink less from now on."
"I was also happy last night, so I drank a few more drinks." Guo Ning held her arm and smiled, "Yun'er, why did you let Concubine Jing off just now? Today is the first day of the new year. In terms of rules, how can the emperor not do that? You should be in your room."
Yun Dai looked at the backs of the Emperor and Concubine Jing in front of her, and said calmly: "Wherever the Emperor is going, no one can stop him. Besides, today is her birthday, and I can't stop her. If word spread, it would be said that I, the Queen, are jealous and stingy."
Guo Ning said: "Her birthday is also very coincidental... However, on Yun'er's birthday last time, the emperor seemed to be in her room."
"Yes." Yun Dai was noncommittal.
Last time on her birthday, Zhao Yuanjing went to Jin Yao's house in order to fool the Queen Mother. And she followed Zhao Shu out of the palace, which eventually led to irremediable consequences.
It was precisely because of that incident that Zhao Shu helped her become the queen.
Speaking of which, Yun Dai didn't know if she wanted to thank her.
They all went to see the Empress Dowager together to greet each other and wish them happy New Year, and received another letter of silver. Everyone stayed and drank a bowl of sugar water, then excused themselves and left.
When I came out, I met Zhao Shu, Zhao Yuan and these princes entering the palace to see the Empress Dowager.
Yun Dai's eyes passed through the crowd and landed on Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu glanced at her, his cold face expressionless.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yun Dai felt that he seemed to have lost some weight.
At this time, Yan'er shouted over there: "Uncle Huang!"
Several princes looked over.
In terms of seniority, Yan'er did have several uncles, but there was only one with whom he had the closest relationship - King Zhao Shu of Qin.
Yan'er is particularly close to this little uncle.
When he saw his uncle, he let go of his mother's hand and ran towards Zhao Shu.
People were coming and going, Yun Dai was worried about him falling, and Baoxing was following closely.
Yan'er ran all the way to Zhao Shu, raised her little face, and said innocently: "When will the emperor's uncle teach Yan'er to ride a horse?"
Zhao Shu was slightly startled and bent down to touch his head. His cold voice became a little softer: "Yan'er, don't worry. When you grow up, my uncle will teach you how to ride a horse."
"Yan'er is three years old."
"Then this time next year, okay?"
"It's a deal! My uncle, please don't cheat." Yan'er stretched out a small finger and said, "I promise."
