Emperor Longqing seemed to have little warmth, but Ji Xiaotang once paid attention to the fact that the last time he was in the Imperial Garden, it was not like this between Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han.

I wonder what happened these days, which made a gap between Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing?

Empress Dowager Han said a few more words and the banquet officially began.

At the banquet, there were alternative beauties coming forward to show off their talents, including playing the piano, singing, dancing, writing, etc., which made the whole banquet look very elegant.

Ji Xiaotang naturally had no intention of watching the beauties' performances, and she found that she was not alone.

First, Emperor Longqing was Emperor. Although the man was sitting there, he obviously didn't know where he flew to. Everything in the hall seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Empress Dowager Han was also a little distracted. She looked at Emperor Longqing from time to time, and obviously more of her thoughts were placed on Emperor Longqing.

Qin Zhen didn't look at anyone, he only looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang looked around and found that no one was watching the performance in since they were really watching it, even though they were not doing so.

The banquet soon came to an end.

Empress Dowager Han mentioned that the harem was not rich, and then criticized Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, saying that they were unwilling to work hard to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. Qin Lin was fine, but there was only one seedling, but Qin Zhen had no concubine yet.

Qin Zhen glanced at Ji Xiaotang and was about to get up, but Qin Lin was ahead of him.

Qin Lin stood up and saluted Empress Dowager Han.

"The Empress Dowager taught a very good lesson." Qin Lin bowed and said. "My son is very careful to follow the Queen Mother's instructions and want to ask the Queen Mother for some grace."

"Oh, what kind of grace?" asked Queen Mother Han.

"My son asked the Empress Dowager to point the Lord of Anle County to me." Qin Lin said loudly.

Qin Lin finished speaking, and before Empress Dowager Han could react, Qin Zhen stood up suddenly and saluted Empress Dowager Han.

"My son asked the Empress Dowager to point Xiaotang's sister to me. My son had asked the Empress Dowager for this grace, but the Empress Dowager had never given her final reply." Qin Zhen meant that he asked for this grace before Qin Lin.

If you pay attention to coming first and then coming, you should also point Ji Xiaotang to him.

Qin Lin was not in a hurry.

"Just now, my brother and I were in Qianqing Palace. My brother also asked the emperor for this grace."

It turned out that Qin Lin and Emperor Longqing were late just now, because they were talking about this in the Qianqing Palace.

At the banquet, the two princes asked Empress Dowager Han to marry Ji Xiaotang, and the beauties in the hall were stunned. Ji Xiaotang, the center of the topic, naturally received countless sights.

Ji Xiaotang thought that neither Qin Lin nor Qin Zhen would give up on her. But the two of them raised this way at the banquet, which still surprised her. At this time, it would be strange if nothing happened.

Ji Xiaotang looked a little restrained.

After Qin Lin said that he had asked Emperor Longqing for grace, everyone's eyes fell on Emperor Longqing. Empress Dowager Han was also silently asking Emperor Longqing.

"The third brother did mention it to me just now." Emperor Longqing confirmed Qin Lin's words.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Dowager Han's face froze slightly, and then she smiled, "Your Majesty must have not responded to you, otherwise you wouldn't ask me for grace!"

"A beautiful lady is a gentleman, and I am about to discuss this with my mother." Emperor Longqing said.

His answer indirectly confirmed Empress Dowager Han’s guess.

Empress Dowager Han’s smile was even more kind.

"You brothers all asked to marry Xiaotang, which really made Your Majesty and I very embarrassed." Empress Dowager Han said slowly. This sentence is reasonable. Not to mention that it is in the imperial family, even if this situation occurs in the home of ordinary people, it will make it difficult for people to make decisions.

"You two are both your Majesty's brothers, but there is only one Xiaotang, which one should I promise to." Empress Dowager Han really seemed very embarrassed.

"I met Xiaotang first, and I asked the Empress Dowager for the first time. Of course, I should point Xiaotang to me." Qin Zhen said.

"Although the fourth brother met Xiaotang first, I knew Xiaotang. Not only did I ask the Empress Dowager for an order, but I also expressed my feelings to Your Majesty first. Moreover, Xiaotang and I are even more with me." Qin Lin said.

"I also like Sister Xiaotang very much." Zheng Gui actually laughed at this time.

Qin Zhen and Qin Lin actually started fighting in front of everyone.

Empress Dowager Han looked at it with a smile for a while, and suddenly she was shocked.

"What kind of tradition is that you are not children anymore, and you are not fighting for a candy!" Queen Mother Han said this, and Qin Zhen and Qin Lin both closed their mouths for the time being. "You two are also spoiled by the Ai family. They are not as good as three-year-old children, and they don't know the word "politeness."

Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, meaning to see who made humbleness.

"I can give in to my fourth brother for anything else, this is the only thing..."

"I can give in to my third brother for anything else, this is the only thing..."

Qin Lin and Qin Zhen actually had the same argument.

"You two are so different. You are old and noble, you can keep Your Majesty and your royal brother in your eyes!" Empress Dowager Han rebuked.

Qin Lin and Qin Zhen both lowered their heads.

This time, the female official was selected to enrich the harem by Emperor Longqing. Before Emperor Longqing could pick it, Qin Lin and Qin Zhen stole the people first. This is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, Qin Zhen and Qin Lin both lowered their heads and stopped talking, but their expressions showed that they would never give up on Ji Xiaotang because of this.

"Forget it, forgot, I'm old, I still have to worry about your affairs." Seeing the two of them, Empress Dowager Han's tone eased, as if he was angry with his children and grandchildren, but he couldn't bear to treat his children and grandchildren like a kind old man.

Empress Dowager Han stood up and let everyone disperse.

The banquet at Cining Palace ended like this.
