Chapter 1356

The Dragon Boat Festival banquet was set to begin at noon. At this time, all the invited ministers had arrived and it was already past noon, but Empress Dowager Zhou, Mo Chuan, and the Zhao Rong Princess were still nowhere to be seen.

Could something have happened?

The ministers were already wondering in their hearts, but because of Gu Qingze's sudden arrival, everyone's attention was attracted and they completely forgot about this matter.

With Gu Qingze mentioning it at this time, even Duke Ning felt this was strange.

"Quickly go and see what's going on!" He turned to the eunuch beside him and scolded him in a low voice.

The eunuch quickly obeyed and left.

Chen Ning did not feel this was strange. It was the Zhao Rong Princess' birthday banquet, if she didn't play some tricks, she really wouldn't be her.

Her guess was right, this was the Zhao Rong Princess' idea.

She purposely came late, wanting everyone to wait for her and then appear in front of everyone's eyes.

After noon, a eunuch finally appeared at the entrance of the Qing An Palace while gasping for breath. He shouted in a sharp voice.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived! The emperor has arrived! The Zhao Rong Princess has arrived! "

The hall was filled with awe.

Everyone stood up and looked at the entrance of the hall.

They saw Mo Chuan and the Zhao Rong Princess supporting Empress Dowager Zhou on the left and right, appearing in front of everyone.

"Greetings to the emperor, greetings to the Empress Dowager, greetings to the Zhao Rong Princess!"

The ministers all bowed down, welcoming Mo Chuan and Empress Dowager Zhou's arrival. Even Chen Ning stood up from her seat and bowed down in Empress Dowager Zhou's direction.

The Zhao Rong Princess' eyes were filled with pride as she looked over at Chen Ning. She supported Empress Dowager Zhou and proudly accepted everyone's bow.

Humph, so what if you're the empress? Aren't you still bowing down to this princess!

"No need to be so polite."

Empress Dowager Zhou was clearly in a good mood today. She had a warm smile on her face as she held Mo Chuan in one hand and the Zhao Rong Princess in the other. She smiled as she walked to the seats with the support of the two of them.

The three of them sat down.

"Everyone, don't stand on ceremony. Sit, sit!" Empress Dowager Zhou spoke with a smile. Her face was glowing, not looking sick at all.

This made Chen Ning even more certain that Empress Dowager Zhou's illness yesterday was just an excuse to keep Mo Chuan here.

She slightly looked up at Mo Chuan and Mo Chuan was also looking at her.

The two of them looked at each other. Mo Chuan's eyes were very complicated, filled with deep affection and apology. Chen Ning revealed a faint smile and winked at Mo Chuan, meaning that she understood everything.

Mo Chuan's heart relaxed and he revealed a faint smile to her. The two of them had a tacit understanding.

Only the scene of their eyes meeting was seen by the Zhao Rong princess. The handkerchief in her hand was crumpled into a ball and a dark look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly looked away from Chen Ning.

King, little slut, this this, this princess Chuan, this princess, this, this princess, he's Chong!

Emperor Spirit, is, is, Ling, and I will. Dower! Chen, I, Chuan Ling She Yu, Dao, Chen, Mo.

"Yang, I, I Jia's Chen, I Dowager, Chu, Jia, and, one, one, and I, I, I I, I, I, I, I, Dowager, I, is, Yu,, Yu, and, and,.,

After Empress Dowager Zhou sat down, she looked around the hall with a curious look on her face.
