Mo Chuan sat alone on the dragon throne, holding a glass of wine between his slender fingers but not bringing it to his lips.
Looking around, the ministers and family members are all happy. Everyone is enjoying the scenery, drinking fine wine, admiring famous flowers, and everyone is feeling happy.
Only his heart was depressed.
He really wanted to look at someone, but he couldn't and didn't dare to look at him. He could only restrain his gaze and not look in that direction.
Feeling agitated, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. After waiting for a long time, Xiaosi did not see him pouring wine for him.
"Xiaosi!" He glanced sideways and saw Xiaosi standing behind him, his eyes staring blankly, he was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that his glass was empty.
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die!" Xiao Si suddenly came to his senses and saw Mo Chuan staring at him with heavy eyes. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and fell to his knees.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Pour me some wine!"
"Yes, yes." Xiaosi picked up the flask and poured wine, but his hand suddenly shook and the wine poured directly onto the back of Mo Chuan's hand.
He broke out in a cold sweat and fell to his knees again: "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die."
Mo Chuan didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on him. After a while, he calmly spoke.
"Tell me, what have you done to apologize to me?"
"Your Majesty..." Xiaosi lowered his head, not daring to raise his head.
"explain!"
Xiao Si cried sadly: "Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die. I just went to the Queen Mother's palace..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his palm and slapped himself hard: "It's the slave who talks too much, so I'll slap you, such a talkative slave!"
Mo Chuan immediately understood what he meant, and anger surged in his chest. He threw the wine glass hard, making a crisp sound and breaking into pieces.
"You deserve to die!" Xiaosi kowtowed repeatedly.
Some ministers noticed something strange and paid their attention.
Mo Chuan shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Get out of here! Send Princess Dingyuan away from the palace as soon as possible!"
Xiaosi got up from the ground. He knew that he was in big trouble, and his face turned pale.
"Yes, yes, I will go right away."
He was about to walk towards Shen Ning when he suddenly heard a loud announcement.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
When everyone in the main hall heard this, they immediately put down their chopsticks and wine glasses and stood up in awe.
All of them had doubts in their hearts, wasn’t it said that the Queen Mother had been ill for a long time? Why did you suddenly come to participate in the flower viewing feast
Then everyone suddenly realized that some ministers and officials who came to the banquet with their wives and daughters could not help but smile knowingly on their faces.
The Queen Mother has personally chosen a concubine for the Emperor.
"It's too late, it's just your slave who talks too much!"
Mo Chuan glared at Xiao Si angrily. It was impossible to send Shen Ning away now because the Queen Mother's chariot had already appeared outside Qingliang Hall.
Eight eunuchs carried the palanquin, with gauze hanging on all sides. The Queen Mother had been ill for a long time and could not see the wind. This time she actually came forward with her sick body supported. The meaning was self-evident.
Mo Chuan took a breath, walked down from the dragon chair to the hall, and took the lead to greet him.
"Welcome to you, Queen Mother."
"Welcome to the Queen Mother and wish her good health."
The ministers and their families in the main hall knelt down together behind Mo Chuan, and Chu Shaoyang also pulled Shen Ning to kneel behind them.
The maids on both sides opened the gauze curtains, and Queen Mother Zhou slowly stepped out of the sedan chair. Mo Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
