Chapter 108 Birthday Banquet (1)

On the day of the birthday banquet, Zhou Yan and Han Ji arrived in the [Holy City] early in the morning. Because the itinerary was low-key, it was not eye-catching. Even though it was the day, people from all over the world were still in an endless stream.

  The Royal Study Room of the Royal Palace

   "Oh? Are you there."

  Zhao Ziheng's calm voice sounded. After many days of absence, Zhao Ziheng's expression only recovered a little blood, and his face was still pale.

   "I am afraid he is not here for the birthday banquet of the empress dowager."

  Wang Ye expressed his views, and they are discussing the news that Zhou Yan has just received.

"Ok."

  Zhao Ziheng gestured to understand that he had known Zhou Yan was coming back, but it was a little unexpected that Han Ji would be together. He didn't care about Han Ji's arrival, he just cared more about why Zhou Yan came, simply for Yinyin? Zhao Ziheng shook his head secretly, even Zhou Yan didn't believe he would come for this reason.

   "We guessed here to no avail. Since we have caught up, we will meet soon."

Zhao Ziyin on the side of    also expressed his own views, no matter when, they will pay more attention to some individual characters, Zhou Yan is one of them.

   "Well, by the way, King Lian—"

  Zhao Ziheng nodded slightly, then suddenly remembered something and spoke.

   "That has been confirmed, so it is likely to be raised at the birthday banquet."

  Wang Ye will tell the truth. Zhao Ziheng's face sank after hearing it. Wang Ye and Zhao Ziyin looked at each other and were silent because they knew exactly what it meant.

   "Ahem--"

The moment of silence was broken by Zhao Ziheng’s light cough. Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng looked at Zhao Ziheng with worry at the same time, but they could only look at Zhao Ziheng helplessly. No one could say anything to appease, but it did not increase further. pressure.

   "Where is Wu Yao?"

  Zhao Ziheng's eyelids drooped slightly, and he turned the topic weakly.

   "Please rest assured, the emperor, there will be no trouble if'Gryphon' secretly joins."

   "...I hope so, cough cough--"

  After a brief question, Zhao Ziheng coughed lightly again, as if not feeling well?

   "The emperor, take a rest before the birthday banquet begins, right?"

  Wang Ye was a little worried. Zhao Ziheng’s light cough reflected his physical condition, and Wang Ye was very clear about his physical condition. Zhao Ziheng’s pale face was enough to prove that his injury had not healed.

   "I'm fine, the reception work is already being done by others, how can you be lazy as the king of a country? It doesn't make sense to reason."

  Zhao Ziheng made a simple statement, seemingly reluctant or unable to say more, on the one hand physical factors, on the other hand psychological factors.

   "Well, you guys go down first."

   "Yes, the minister retires."

  Wang Ye and Zhao Ziyin could feel the exhaustion in Zhao Ziheng's tone, so no one left without saying a word, because they knew that Zhao Ziheng needed a little personal space.

When Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng left, Zhao Ziheng put his right hand against his forehead and closed his eyes tiredly. Thinking of Wang Ye's words just now, Zhao Ziheng frowned and opened his eyes. Suddenly there was a faint sadness in his eyes, and his lips opened slightly: "Shu child--"

When calling the name of his lover, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and there was a touch of tenderness in his faint eyes; even if he can’t meet now, Zhao Ziheng still feels happy that Yinyin is within reach. Even with pain, Zhao Ziheng already feels satisfied.

  Although he was satisfied that Yinyin was right by his side, Zhao Ziheng did not forget what he was about to face right now, and quickly spread a piece of white paper and started writing...

  Birthday feast starts at noon

   Approaching the eve of the birthday banquet, the huge [Zhenghe Hall] was filled with guests.

   "It is indeed Zhao Guo, a birthday banquet can also be supported by so many people."

   "No, and at this time, I didn't expect that Zhao Guo, who has experienced so many storms and waves, still has such a big influence, and its prosperity is still undiminished, and even stronger in the past."

"Zhao Guoneng owes much to the current King Zhao. Although there has been a lot of things before and after his accession to the throne, he has reached his current glory in his hands, not to mention that he is still young, and his heroic deeds are even those of our country. Six-year-old children know it, so this time I specially invited Ying to come to see if this young King Zhao has the legendary bravery."

The guests began to talk about it. Compared with this birthday banquet, they are more optimistic about Zhao’s wealth and strength. Of course, Zhao’s wealth and strength will remind people of Zhao Ziheng, who can only become rich and strong under the rule of a Mingjun. The prosperous countries and dynasties of the past and the current state of Zhao are the best proof; Zhao Ziheng's wisdom and bravery have been spread all over the world, his deeds have long been praised by people, and his name is well-known.

   "I will definitely not let you down."

  A middle-aged guest suddenly opened his mouth with a wine glass in his mouth, successfully diverting the attention of a group of people who were talking about it.

"have you seen?"

   "I saw it when we held an unprecedented state banquet in Zhao State last year."

   "How does it feel? He is as brave as the rumors say?"

   "Well—"

  The middle-aged guest put down the wine glass in his hand, as if thinking, and the others listened intently with a look of expectation, fearing that they had missed something.
