Du Zihuan nodded and went to the main hall with Andrew.
After all, it was impossible for the emperor to have no one to take care of him, so Yun Zhexuan naturally stayed.
"The Emperor is here—" With Andrew's singing, "The Emperor" appeared in front of everyone.
"The concubine has seen the emperor." The queen looked at the "emperor" in front of her, always feeling a little strange, but she couldn't tell. But today is to give gifts to two children, so I can't take care of that much.
"Get up." The emperor said indifferently, expressionless.
The queen felt lost for a while, but she didn't say anything else. The emperor has always treated him like this, he won't even give him a smile, how come he is getting older and expecting more and more from the emperor
Du Zihuan is also a little nervous now, for fear that something will happen to him, so he can only act cautiously.
"The auspicious time is here, the prince, the prince concubine will serve tea!" The ceremonial official on the side sang loudly.
Only then did Du Zihuan remember what Yun Zhexuan had specifically instructed, that the human skin mask would leak when exposed to heat.
So he cleared his throat and said, "My throat is a little uncomfortable today, I just want to drink cold tea."
The Empress, Nan Xuanyu and others were a little surprised, but they took it for granted when they heard the Emperor's hoarse voice.
The palace servant's movements were naturally quick, and he gave the emperor a new cup of tea in a short time.
Duan Zhilan's knees on the ground were already numb, but there was still a somewhat reluctant smile on her face.
"Father, please drink tea." Duan Zhilan raised the tea above her head, and there was a hint of exhaustion in her tone.
Du Zihuan, who pretended to be the emperor, took the daughter-in-law's tea handed over by Duan Zhilan with a very subtle mood, and he was indeed filled with emotion. I haven't gotten married yet, but I'm drinking my wife's tea. Anyone else would feel a little strange in my heart.
"Okay." Du Zihuan took the tea and drank it. He was happy, but his face was a little warmer at this time.
The queen was relieved. If the emperor wanted to embarrass Zhilan, even she could do nothing.
"As a father and emperor, I don't know what to give to my daughter-in-law. Well, I will give you a gold medal to avoid death." After saying that, he took a meaningful look at the queen and Duan Zhilan.
When the queen saw the emperor's look, her heart froze for a while, but thinking that the emperor could come up with a gold medal to avoid death, I am afraid she already wanted to attack the Duan family.
Thinking of this, the queen's face turned pale in an instant. Do you really want to attack the man you love the most
Duan Zhilan was also a little stunned. Looking at her aunt's expression, she didn't know whether to accept it or not for a while.
"What? Don't you want to accept my gift?" Du Zihuan looked at the pale face of the queen, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"No, how could it be, the emperor's gift is too big, and Zhilan may not have reacted for a while." The queen smiled reluctantly and said quickly.
Duan Zhilan then took over the death-free gold medal in Du Zihuan's hand, and gave him a big gift, "Thank you for the reward from the father, Zhilan is deeply grateful."
Du Zihuan glanced at the queen and nodded.
After that, it was natural to serve tea to the queen. Although the appearance of the emperor before made her a little nervous, but today is also a festive day, she naturally can't keep that expression all the time.
"This hairpin phoenix has been prepared by the Queen Mother for a long time. This is your entrance, so you must be more solemn. Ben Gong also watched you grow up, and now you have become a big girl. In the future, you must take good care of the Prince's Mansion. , do you understand?" The Queen urged with a smile.
Chai Toufeng, as the name suggests, what the Queen's action shows is self-evident. Although Duan Zhilan was overjoyed, what happened last night made her unable to laugh now.
"Thank you mother." Duan Zhilan smiled reluctantly. According to her past, this expression would never be the same.
After all, the queen was a visitor, so there must be something wrong with Duan Zhilan, but now that there are so many people, and in front of the emperor, it is natural that she can't say anything.
The queen frowned slightly, but in the eyes of others, she was smiling like a flower.
"Zhilan, it seemed that Yu'er was too unkind last night. Seeing how tired you are today, it's really distressing for your mother to see. You came here early this morning, and you didn't want to rest well. The queen mother will return to the Fengxi Palace for a break." The queen said with a smile.
Duan Zhilan knew that the queen saw her strangeness, so she responded with a smile: "The queen mother said so, but Zhilan is also disrespectful."
Then she thought of something, looked at Nan Xuanyu gently and said, "Your Highness, can the concubine go?"
A bit of unpleasantness flashed in Nan Xuanyu's eyes, but after all, it was proposed by his mother, so naturally he would not have any intention of rejecting it. He nodded, agreeing.
"Since that's the case, I'll go back to deal with political affairs." Du Zihuan knew that he couldn't last long like this, so he hurriedly coughed twice.
Andrew naturally knew that Mr. Du was acting, so he quickly echoed: "What's wrong with the emperor, the weather is changing, the emperor should pay more attention to his body."
"I'm fine, I'll see the guest off for me." Du Zihuan's guest word bit hard, like a stone thrown into an ancient well without waves, causing the Queen's heart to splash countless water.
It turned out that in his heart, he had always been just a guest.
They have been married for so many years, but they never thought that they could not compare to the little eunuch serving him next to him.
The queen smiled miserably, and the thick powder on her face couldn't hide her paleness.
Duan Zhilan looked at the Queen's expression, sighed in her heart, and finally just sighed, "Mother, let's go." Then she couldn't say anything else.
The queen has been in the harem for so many years, and naturally she will not be disturbed by the emperor's one or two words, but just smiled lightly, "In this way, the concubine will not disturb the emperor. I hope the emperor will take care of his body, the weather is really cold. ."
Du Zihuan did not answer the queen's words, leaving only a bright yellow back.
"Since Zhilan is going to her mother's place, my son will leave first." Nan Xuanyu didn't want to stay any longer, so he left after bowing.
So is the father, so is the son.
The queen gave a wry smile and took Duan Zhilan back to the palace.
Du Zihuan breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the dormitory, and finally managed to hide it for a while, which also laid a foreshadowing for the next matter of pretending to be sick.
"Looks like, Lord Du went well." Yun Zhexuan said with a slight smile when he saw Lord Du come in with an unhappy expression.
