Chapter 164: Is the Banquet at Hongmen?
Qiao Xiaoxi followed the queen and left the palace.
Zhao Wudi reached out and held Qiao Xiaoxi's hand tightly, afraid of losing it.
In fact, Zhao Wudi didn't want to bring Qiao Xiaoxi into the palace. He hoped that Qiao Xiaoxi could live a quiet life in Wuyuan.
It’s okay to go out and play when you’re bored. The guards at the Duke’s Mansion can guarantee your safety.
No guards or secret guards from the Duke's Mansion are allowed to enter the palace, unless they are plotting treason!
Zhao Wudi looked at the two girls who followed him. It was hard for these two girls to protect themselves, let alone their master.
Ten years ago, the Queen wanted to kill people and the Emperor wanted to drink blood.
Qiao Xiaoxi is risking her life by entering the palace!
It has been ten years. I hope the emperor has forgotten Qiao Xiaoxi's blood.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wudi's fingers trembled slightly and sweat oozed out of his palms.
Qiao Xiaoxi didn't understand this, and looked at Zhao Wudi with a smile: "My hands are sweating, let go."
Zhao Wudi ignored her, his eyes focused and worried, glancing around from time to time, and instead holding Qiao Xiaoxi's hand even tighter.
He whispered: "Don't let go, don't leave me, follow me all the time."
Qiao Xiaoxi's hands were clasped tightly, and she could feel the uneasiness and concern from Zhao Wudi.
This is so scary!
Qiao Xiaoxi felt amused. It was just admiring the flowers, not the Hongmen Banquet, and the Queen could still kill people in public.
"Master! Don't be nervous. Killing someone at the flower viewing banquet will make the Queen lose face. Who will dare to enter the palace to attend any banquet in the future?"
Zhao Wudi leaned over and whispered: "Silly girl, this palace is the royal territory. The queen wants to kill people. Under the imperial power, you and I are all ants!"
Qiao Xiaoxi shuddered in her heart. As a modern person, she doesn’t understand the ancient imperial power, but Zhao Wudi does.
It really is the Hongmen Banquet that I am attending!
Qiao Xiaoxi was shocked and couldn't help but lean closer to Zhao Wudi.
Looking at his hands being tightly clasped by Zhao Wudi, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
In this ancient time, this big ice block really cares about my life or death.
Zhao Wudi really has deep affection for my sister.
Good news! Zhao Wudi is protecting me, and I have one less life-threatening person in the capital.
Qiao Xiaoxi silently spread out her five fingers and interlocked them with Zhao Wudi's.
The corners of Zhao Wudi's icy face rose slightly, and he clenched his hands, expressing a silent oath and a promise to protect.
The two interlocked their fingers and slowed down their pace.
When we arrived at the Imperial Garden, it was just afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently.
Flowers are in full bloom in the imperial garden, the colorful flowers compete with each other in beauty and exude charming fragrance.
The Queen, along with the Imperial Noble Consort and the Virtuous Consort, walked towards the pavilion in the center of the Imperial Garden.
When she reached the pavilion, the queen looked back and saw Qiao Xiaoxi falling behind. She stopped and seemed to be waiting.
When the Queen saw Qiao Xiaoxi and Zhao Wudi holding hands, she sneered in her heart, thinking, "They are watching you pretty closely!"
How come this enemy is just like his father back then, so stubborn and determined to stick with one woman for his entire life?
The queen whispered something to a palace maid beside her.
The maid left, and the queen walked to the pavilion in the center of the imperial garden, sat down gracefully, and greeted the guests with a smile.
The noble ladies, dressed in their best attire, came forward and saluted the queen.
Zhao Wudi took Qiao Xiaoxi and walked towards a place with fewer people.
Groups of noble ladies are enjoying the flowers.
They are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, with graceful and beautiful figures.
In the imperial garden, flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance is overwhelming.
The ladies either strolled among the flower paths, or stopped to admire, or gently twisted the petals, or whispered and smiled.
It's quite comfortable and harmonious.
Zhao Wudi chose a secluded corner and pulled Qiao Xiaoxi to sit down together.
The surrounding area is shaded by green trees and colorful flowers, forming a natural barrier that isolates the noise from the outside world.
"It's not bad here." Qiao Xiaoxi said softly.
"Yeah." Zhao Wudi responded, but his eyes were always vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him.
At this time, a burst of laughter came from not far away, attracting Qiao Xiaoxi's attention.
Qiao Xiaoxi looked curiously and saw several noble girls chasing a butterfly among the flowers.
A girl raised her head and looked into Qiao Xiaoxi's eyes.
Just as the girl was about to speak, Qiao Xiaoxi put her hand on her lips and made a gesture to stop her from speaking!
