Chapter 5.1

The day of New Year’s Eve, the emperor was at Da Ming Palace hosting the hundreds of government officials attending the state banquet . Today’s banquet at Yan Chun Pavilion was considered to be the palace’s family dinner .

Qi Sheng stopped outside of Yan Chun Pavilion, turning his body and slowly extending his hand toward me . I saw that this time he only extended one hand out and estimated that this time it wasn’t to change his clothes . I thought it over again and came to a sudden realization . He wanted to display his affection with me before others and grasp his hand to go in .

I forcefully pushed down the goose bumps that appeared on my body and grasped Qi Sheng’s hand .

The inner servant at the gate stretched out his neck and shouted: “His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Crown Princess have arrived——”

Qi Sheng grasped my hand, and entered Yan Chun Pavilion’s main hall with me unhurriedly .

The Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager, these big bosses had yet to arrive . The ones who had arrived were all those wangye, wangfei, gongzhu, fuma, and such . There was also some junwang and junzhu and so on distantly related relatives . Even though it was just these, the inside of the main hall was still filled with not a little amount of people . It could clearly be seen that the royal family’s reproduction ability was strong ah!

Qi Sheng led me inside, the various people inside the palace hall all getting up and saluting toward us . My face followed along with Qi Sheng’s expression while peeking at the many kinds of beauties inside the hall as well as the different expressions on their faces . Zhao wangfei Jiang shi was still wearing the same white silk dress as before, looking very cute standing next to Zhao wang .

I couldn’t help but sigh: Sure enough it seems like to be cute one needs to wear clothes like mourning apparel, to be beautiful one needs to reveal their legs!

[TN: Lol my mom told me I was reading a bad novel when I had her help me with this, but essentially he’s saying that to be cute, you have to wear funeral clothes (which are simple and not colorful) and to be beautiful you have to show off your legs – but, like, with not that many words]

Jiang shi’s gaze stopped on me for a moment before turning to quickly look next to me at Qi Sheng .

I turned my head – sure enough, Qi Sheng’s passionate gaze was also attentively watching Jiang shi . Hey bro, as a man, I understand and support you, but, can’t you also take into consideration your bro Zhao wang’s face? In the end, this is still his wife ah! Even if you put a green hat on him, you can’t put it on him so brazenly right?

Zhao wang clearly also discovered that the meaningful gaze exchanged between his wife and brother was too warm . As a result, after looking at Qi Sheng again, unexpectedly turned to look in my direction .

Bro, your meaningful gaze, I understand . However, that is your wife, not mine, shouldn’t be mine to manage ah! What? Manage the Qi Sheng at my side? He hasn’t flirted with my wife, why should I manage him?

As a result, I calmly looked face to face with Zhao wang .

This scene was very strange – Qi Sheng and Jiang shi were warmly staring at each other, and Zhao wang and I were calmly staring at each other……

This was until there suddenly was a voice sounding from beside us: “Third Brother, Fifth Brother, fuhuang and muhou are just about to arrive, let us go out to welcome them . ”

I turned my head to look toward the voice, seeing an elegant and beautiful gongzi smiling at the side . I felt that he looked a bit familiar and once again carefully gave him a look, and finally couldn’t keep my calm .

Bathroom Lord ah Bathroom Lord, I only hope that day the light of the bathroom was dim, and your eyes were blurred from intoxication, so you can’t see clearly my appearance……

While thinking about it in my head, the Bathroom Lord looked at me in my direction, and as calmly as before said: “Sansao . ”

After speaking he then turned his head slightly to call out a wusao to Jiang shi .

I saw that his expression was not peculiar in the least, I was able to settle down my heart a bit . There wasn’t even time to rejoice though as the Bathroom Lord’s expression turned not too good as I heard the Bathroom Lord say in a cultured and refined manner: “Sansao, the Three Six Song you wanted that day, my people have finally found it . I will send it over to sansao on another day . ”

I couldn’t help but stare blankly after hearing what was said . Three Six Song? Where did this Three Six Song come from? Looking at that Bathroom Lord’s calm and collected meaningful gaze, I suddenly realized it . Three Six is Eighteen ah! What he was saying was Eighteen Touches ah!

Ha! This youngster wasn’t just the calm and collected emperor! He’s actually more black-bellied!

It’s just a pity that this small grandpa was not to a vegetarian . My face paused on a conspicuously happy expression, putting on an act to clash with the Bathroom Lord: “Then I will thank you a lot, Ninth Little Brother . ”

The Bathroom Lord courteously replied: “Sansao is polite . ”

The two of us exchanged pleasantries, but those beside us were confused upon listening . Qi Sheng liked his face and with a cold expression, did not want to ask, while Zhao wang asked the Bathroom Lord: “What song is Ninth Brother talking about?”

The Bathroom Lord finally leaked out a smiling expression on his face, and took another glance at me, before answering: “Eh, it’s just some vulgar song among the people . Sansao unintentionally heard it, wanted me to help look for it a bit . ”
