As if she suddenly remembered something, Hu Xiao walked out as if she was sleepwalking.

"Zhi Lan, forget about it, change the banquet to tomorrow afternoon, we are in too much of a hurry today. Go and inform His Majesty that the banquet time has changed, otherwise, if His Majesty does not see me arranging the banquet at night, I wonder what he will say about me."

Seeing Zhi Lan nod her head, Hu Xiao then slowly walked back into the house.

She laid on the bed, speechless. Who told her to be Qin Shuo's Queen now? Eating others was the shortest, their hands were softhearted, and now that Qin Shuo had raised him, it was only natural for him to be so. Otherwise, if he did not raise her, she would suffer a huge loss.

Thinking about it like that, she comforted herself, but after a while, she could not hear Hu Xiao mumbling to himself, Zhi Lan quietly walked in, and covered the cup that was kicked to the side by Hu Xiao.

As if she muttered something, Hu Xiao turned over and continued sleeping.

With a sigh of relief, he remembered Hu Xiao's orders and turned to leave.

When she was at the South Yue, she had once held such a banquet, for which Zhi Lan was experienced and unafraid, but the bad thing about it now was that Hu Xiao had asked for it to be taken as it was!

The imperial palace, especially the empress's banquets, only needed to serve whatever dishes were complicated and whatever was luxurious! However, this was not the palace. Even though the empress was hosting a banquet, this place was still filled with the flying Sui City of the affected people. Naturally, they could not be so extravagant!

After being troubled for a while, he did not know that he should do things like this. As he was thinking and thinking, Zhi Lan, who just informed the emperor about the change in time, suddenly met with a person at the corner.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

When ordinary people saw Zhi Lan's face, they would only move aside. After all, Zhi Lan was the empress's close palace maid and the empress was extremely fond of him, so even the eunuchs and eunuchs of palace maid would respect him slightly. Furthermore, Zhi Lan's entire mind was filled with thoughts on what to do.

"Eh? Miss Zhi Lan! "

Seeing that, Zhao Qiyan pulled Zhi Lan's arm.

In the past, the two of them would not be so distant from each other when they met, so no matter what, Zhi Lan would cast a sidelong glance at him. But today, she pretended not to see anything, causing Zhao Qiyan's heart to become nervous.

"Hmm? "Who's pulling me?"

Knowing that Zhao Qiyan had grabbed her arm, Zhi Lan started to have a reaction, but she did not hear what Zhao Qiyan said. He only wanted to tear off the fingers on his own hands, but pulling back twice was useless, he could only turn around helplessly.

Ah!

Being shocked by the sudden close approach of Zhao Qiyan's face, it was fortunate that Zhao Qiyan was holding onto her hand, if not Zhi Lan would have already been so scared that she would have fallen to the ground.

"Miss Zhi Lan, it's me. Don't you recognize me?"

Zhi Lan's every movement was too strange, so she could not understand what she was saying.

"I know it's you, Great General Zhao, why are you grabbing onto my hand?"

He rolled his eyes at Zhao Qiyan who looked like a log. Zhi Lan was extremely dissatisfied with being scared by Zhao Qiyan just now.

"Miss Zhi Lan, it's like this. Just now, I saw that young lady's footsteps were unsteady, and was afraid that young lady might encounter trouble here. Thus, I caught young lady. I hope young lady does not mind."

With that said, Zhi Lan seemed to recall what happened just now.

Her face turned slightly red. After all, she had been a bit foolish just now.

"Thank you, General Zhao, for your kind intentions, but since my mother still has things to do, I will take my leave first."

Without waiting for Zhao Qiyan's response, he turned and ran.

Zhi Lan was originally a martial cultivator, so her tutorial was a bit faster, and now she felt like she was forced to flee.

Zhao Qiyan originally wanted to chase after him, but he still had things to attend to, so he could only watch as Zhi Lan walked far away.

"Empress, since Your Majesty has instructed your concubine to guide you in your etiquette, Empress will reluctantly learn this."

Before entering the house, he heard Zhi Lan and Hu Xiao's unhappy voices.

"Greetings Imperial Consort Xue."

After giving Imperial Consort Xue a salute, Zhi Lan stood behind Hu Xiao.

When she went out just now, Hu Xiao was still resting. When she found out that Hu Xiao was forced to sit on a chair to the side, Zhi Lan naturally saw through her impatience.

"I say, Imperial Consort Xue, I am a princess of the South Yue, so how could I not know the etiquette of this palace? Furthermore, Imperial Consort Xue is currently pregnant, I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to be so affected. "

Hu Xiao almost told Xue Mier to f * ck off. She looked at Xue Mier's flat stomach, and saw that the baby inside was innocent. Hu Xiao could not get angry because of this.

"Empress, the etiquette for South Yue and ours, after all, do not really resemble each other."

Xue Mier seemed to be tired from standing, she found a chair to sit on, and looking at Hu Xiao's carefree look, she felt dissatisfied in her heart.

The current Qin Shuo was naturally not willing to do anything. Xue Mier only needed to do one thing and everyone would be happy, and that would be to nurture a baby.

However, Xue Mier had always wanted to find trouble with Hu Xiao, and was even working hard to make Hu Xiao play the fool.

"Imperial Consort Xue, Empress's etiquette has already been taught by the mama in the palace." Imperial Consort Xue, Empress's etiquette has already been taught by the mama in the palace.

Zhi Lan found it hard to continue watching, and said.

"How could a servant like you interrupt Master's speech?"

Seeing how Hu Xiao, a mere little palace maid, was able to stand up for him, Xue Mier naturally felt discontent in her heart. However, she was helpless to do anything about it, because every single word that palace maid said was true.

When she found out that Hu Xiao was going to hold a banquet to invite the famed lady of Sui City tomorrow, Xue Mier had always been a little angry, but she had always wanted to find a reason to suppress Hu Xiao's anger. But who knew that Hu Xiao did not care about him at all.

She felt as if this punch had hit cotton. She didn't even have the energy to turn it around, causing her to be unable to vent her anger.

"Imperial Consort Xue, what Zhi Lan said can naturally be considered as what I said. What Zhi Lan said just now was exactly what I wanted to do, and now I have things to do, even if I need a teacher for etiquette, I would absolutely not look for Imperial Consort Xue. After all, who told me to become pregnant again? Zhi Lan, send our guest off! "

Not wanting to continue interacting with Xue Mier, Hu Xiao on the other hand, spoke happily and got Zhi Lan to send him off. Although Xue Mier was not willing to let it go, she was also afraid of continuing to stay.

Furthermore, Hu Xiao had a sharp tongue, she came here because she wanted to embarrass Hu Xiao, Qin Shuo had warned her repeatedly not to call Hu Xiao out, if Qin Shuo knew about this, she was afraid that Qin Shuo would fly into a rage.
