At the request of the Empress Dowager herself, everything on the Holy Birthday Festival was kept simple, but there were not many regulations, and Qin Zhao arranged everything properly.

Whether it is the banquet process or the list of people participating in the banquet, everything is under Qin Zhao's control.

The birthday banquet will be held in Mingyuan.

It was rare for Xiao Ce, a workaholic, to leave all government affairs on this day and accompany the Empress Dowager early in the morning.

The Empress Dowager also deliberately kept Qin Zhao by her side. The purpose was obvious, but she wanted to get along with Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce.

Qin Zhao understood the intention of the Empress Dowager, and of course Xiao Ce also understood, but the two of them could see through it and not say it. In addition, today was the birthday of the empress dowager, Xiao Ce couldn't disobey the empress dowager.

His respect for the Empress Dowager is not false.

Even so, when the Empress Dowager forcibly shoved Qin Zhao's hand into his palm, he still resisted slightly.

But when the Empress Dowager looked over, he could only barely hold Qin Zhao's hand.

The hand of the woman he was holding was soft and boneless, exquisite and small, and he could grasp it with one hand.

Qin Zhao was patient at first, until later, Xiao Ce became more and more excessive, pinching her palm over, as if pinching a clay figurine.

She doesn't have anything else, but she is strong enough. As soon as she exerted herself, she retracted her palm.

Xiao Ce's hands were empty, he looked at Qin Zhao who was beside him, but Qin Zhao didn't look at her, he focused on the guests in the garden, smiling Yan Yan.

This hypocritical woman, didn't you enjoy it just now?

He didn't know what kind of psychology he had. As soon as he made a move, he took Qin Zhao's hand into his own.

This time, no matter how hard Qin Zhao tried, he couldn't break free from Xiao Ce's control.

Their hands were fighting in the dark, but the birthday party below couldn't see this scene.

In the end, Qin Zhao gave up his dying struggle.

Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Neither she nor Xiao Ce are the protagonists. It is not good for people to see that she and Xiao Ce are competing in public.

However, under Xiao Ce's control, his hands were not very comfortable, and the weather was getting warmer. After struggling a while ago, his hands were sticky and sweaty.

Unconsciously, Xiao Ce, who is obsessed with cleanliness, is always holding her hand and seems to be interested in her hand.

And Empress Dowager Guo stayed in the palace on the grounds that the phoenix was unwell, and did not come with everyone to celebrate her birthday, otherwise Xiao Ce would not be so arrogant.

"These snacks are very delicious. They look inconspicuous, but they are extremely delicious." It was Concubine Hu who spoke.

This time, she accompanied Xiao Yi to Mingyuan to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday. Xiao Yi said less, but she felt it.

The Empress Dowager's birthday celebration this time was very low-key, not as luxurious as in previous years, but the delicate place did not fall at all.

Even these inconspicuous snacks are served in small plates, but there are as many as twenty dishes, which require a lot of effort.

The new clothes worn by the Empress Dowager are also tailor-made by Qin Zhao at Yongxin Garment Store. This is the only one in the world, and it is not very luxurious, but wearing it on the Empress Dowager is very young and noble, and it is in the crowd. is the most eye-catching.

It can only be said that Qin Zhao, the noble concubine, is doing practical things.

"It was carefully prepared and delivered by the Secretary of Food. The banquet was prepared early in the morning. It is about the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager. Naturally, no one dared to neglect." Qin Zhao did not take credit.

At this time, the palm meal came out and explained: "It is the menu written by the imperial concubine, what ingredients are used in which dishes, and what are the taboos of the empress dowager? Only by doing things from a book can you do them properly, it is all the credit of the noble concubine, and the lower officials dare not take credit."

"Girl Zhao has always been careful in her work, and Aijia is very happy." The Empress Dowager did not hesitate to praise Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao was not accustomed to such occasions, so he had to answer falsely: "This is the responsibility of the concubine, and it should be, the concubine is also the blessing of the empress dowager to gain knowledge."

Her words made the Empress Dowager smile from ear to ear.

Everyone could see that the Empress Dowager did like Qin Zhao.

On the other hand, the arrogant Long Live Master had an unclear expression and seemed to have no likes or dislikes towards Qin Zhao. From the moment he entered the seat, he never looked at Qin Zhao squarely.

So the era of Qin Zhao's glory should be gone forever?

The banquet was held in the same park. Everyone could watch the play while eating. The stage was performing "Double Happiness". Qin Zhao pretended to watch it seriously, but the sticky feeling on her hands made her very uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have long since questioned Xiao Ce face to face what she wanted.

Others were eating and drinking, only one of her hands was in Xiao Ce's hands, she was so uncomfortable, and her stomach was screaming with hunger. Fortunately, the voice was not loud, but Xiao Ce, who was closest to her, could hear it clearly and glanced at her with unpredictable eyes.

She herself is calm. When she is hungry, her stomach growls. This is a normal physiological reaction. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and this is all thanks to Xiao Ce.

It's a pity that she woke up early this morning, and she didn't have time to eat breakfast, so she was busy planning the birthday of the empress dowager, and she couldn't even eat a single bite at noon, which was extremely sad.

Because she didn't eat or eat snacks, by the time she finished watching the movie, her legs were already weak from hunger.

At this time, Xiao Ce finally showed mercy and let go of her poor hand.

She sighed to herself that it was not easy, and she didn't know whether it was because she was too hungry, or she was too happy, and she almost fell to the ground when she went down the steps.

She secretly screamed, just when she thought she was going to be embarrassed, suddenly there was a man's hand in the air, which was able to support her waist.

Not far away, Xiao Yi saw Qin Zhao's fall and wanted to rush over, but fortunately, Concubine Hu stopped him in time.

Concubine Hu blinked at him, and Xiao Yi realized his gaffe.

He looked again and found that Xiao Ce had stabilized Qin Zhao. At this moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or regretful, but all kinds of feelings came to his mind.

He clearly knew that Qin Zhao was someone he couldn't imagine, but his selfishness was always longing for her. This was wrong, but his heart was out of his control...

The moment Xiao Ce held Qin Zhao's waist, he only felt that the woman's waist was unbelievably soft.

He was sighing that a woman's body was too far from a man's body structure, but he felt a line of sight on their side.

He looked in the direction of the strong line of sight, and saw Xiao Yi and Concubine Hu standing together, not looking at them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Zhao's voice came into his ears, pulling back his thoughts.

"Does the concubine know Wang An?" Xiao Ce asked mysteriously.

Even though King An didn't look at him just now, he felt that the person King An looked at just now was Qin Zhao. This was his intuition as a man.
