"I didn't explain my identity to Miss Bai Shuang before, but I also had my own concerns. It was my fault for letting the girl worry too much."

Si Chen knew that the place where he was now was safe. Since Bai Shuang was able to come to this place, it meant that she was absolutely safe for him. Otherwise, how could the guards inside and outside the courtyard let her in?

"Who the hell are you? What's going on here, tell me quickly."

"My name is indeed Si Chen. I have absolutely not deceived the girl. It is just that I am not someone who cannot escape. I am going to Beijing to sue. I am the county magistrate of Yangjiao County in Kuncheng. I have discovered something that cannot be done. I want to I went to Beijing to report, but was framed, but fortunately, I was rescued by the girl, and the girl is really down to have another parent again."

Si Chen didn't explain the specific matters too clearly, and Bai Shuang didn't ask in detail. Some things are better not to know than to know.

"What is rebirth?"

Si Chen smiled and said, "Miss saved Zixia three times, didn't she? Miss gave Zixia his life three times."

Bai Shuang tilted her head and thought about it, then burst out laughing, "You can talk quite well with this mouth."

Si Chen's thanks are sincere. The last time, he almost blocked his life and stuffed the key of the Zangwu Pavilion into Bai Shuang's hands. If Bai Shuang got the key and didn't give it to Su Ying, he would already dead.

"But you are indeed lucky to have met me."

"Yes, I was lucky to meet a girl in my next life."

It might be that Si Chen's eyes were too straightforward, which made Bai Shuang's heart beat.

She opened her eyes in a panic and said, "Hmph, I'm your savior, why did your mother let me go out of the palace to serve you?"

"The girl is someone who serves by the empress's side?"

"Yeah, that's why I say you're lucky." Si Chen wouldn't be able to survive if it were someone else.

Si Chen couldn't help feeling that he should have listened to Yao Tong's words and went straight to the empress, maybe things wouldn't have been so tortuous.

Si Chen staggered up while supporting the edge of the bed. As soon as he moved, Bai Shuang could see the obvious strangle marks on his neck. Looking at it again, she even found it shocking.

The county magistrate, who both the empress and the emperor are protecting, must be fine. What kind of things put him in danger again and again.

"As I said before, I hope to have the opportunity to thank the girl in the future. Today, I still have nothing in my hands, but I still want to thank the girl first."

After saying that, Si Chen knelt down towards Bai Shuang.

Only then did Bai Shuang come back to her senses, and hurried forward to support him, "The injuries on your body are not healed yet, don't move around, Madam asked me to take care of you, if your body is not healed, Madam Don't you want to blame me?"

"No, the girl is my savior, so how can the empress blame the girl?"

Bai Shuang pulled his arm to get him up. Si Chen was indeed weak. When he got up, his legs felt weak and he fell back on the bed.

Bai Shuang instinctively went to pull him, but didn't want to be dragged down on the bed by him.

"ah!"

Bai Shuang's forehead hit his nose heavily.

Si Chen snorted, feeling a fever in his nose.

Bai Shuang raised her head and saw that she was almost attached to him, so she got up in fright, "I, I said, you, don't kneel to me, I don't need you to thank me! I'm a little hungry, I'll go find something to eat first !” Before she finished speaking, she ran away as if to escape.

Si Chen slowly sat up from the bed, stretched out his hands and rubbed his sore nose, thinking of Bai Shuang's embarrassment, he couldn't help showing a slight smile on his face.

Inside the palace.

Mother Zhao handed Su Ying a list, which was the dishes to be served at the Winter Solstice banquet in a few days and the instructions for holding the banquet.

"This banquet must be held?" Su Ying said, she hates to manage this kind of thing the most, and she will not do it if she can.

If you want to talk about the birthday banquet, you can’t do it, but the winter solstice banquet is different. In Chu State, the winter solstice is a big festival. Every year, the royal family will invite all civil and military officials to the palace to participate in the banquet, and then go up on the stargazing platform. Pray for blessings, worship the gods, and pray for God to bless the Chu Kingdom with good weather and good weather in the coming year, and the country will be safe and peaceful.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to do anything. When the day of the banquet comes, you can just sit on the chair, and when you're in a good mood, talk to the wives and ladies of the aristocratic families. If you don't like it, I will promise you."

"Don't worry, Ms. Zhao, I know what to do."

Mother Zhao smiled happily, Niangniang is getting more and more kind, she can't remember how long Niangniang hasn't fought with anyone, this is a big improvement!

"Your Majesty, now that Bai Shuang is out of the palace, are you willing to leave Zhou Qing alone by your side, and the maid is worried that she will not be able to serve alone, why don't the old slaves choose a few smart ones to come over and choose for the Empress?"

Su Ying doesn't like having too many people around her, but since the palace is huge, and the communication depends entirely on one mouth, it is indeed more convenient to have two people around her.

"It's fine, you can choose according to your choice, and I will choose two people with good eyesight."

"Yes, the old slave will explain it later."

"kindness."

Because of the matter in Kuncheng, Xiao Jin had just said before that he needed to save money, so even if a palace banquet was to be held, the banquet should not be too extravagant, and all the rare and exotic items from the past banquets would not be available this time.

On the day of the banquet, when Su Ying woke up, she smelled a strong sour smell.

She subconsciously secreted saliva while she was half asleep and half awake.

"Zhou Qing."

Zhou Qing had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when she heard the movement, she quickly opened the door and entered.

"Your Majesty is awake."

Su Ying sat up from the bed, "Well, I'm up."

"Has anyone come from outside the palace?"

Zhou Qing nodded. The banquet was held at noon, and the emperor also prayed to the sky at noon. The queens of all dynasties had to get up early on this day to take care of the affairs of the banquet. Su Ying's sleep until now is an exception.

"Why do I smell a sour smell, what is it?"

"Your Majesty's nose is really good. It's vinegared radish made by Uncle Yuchu. He said that there are no fresh fruits and vegetables in this season. It won't taste good when it's cooked and served on the table. So I made a cabbage with radish. It became hot and sour, so the maidservant brought some over and told the empress to taste it first."

"Well, try it first."

Today is the palace banquet, and Su Ying must dress up to attend. When the maid passed the phoenix robe to the eighth floor, her patience was almost exhausted.

"It's almost enough." She didn't understand the meaning of wearing so many bags and didn't keep warm.

"Your Majesty, if you bear with it, the servant girl will be dressed immediately."

Su Ying wanted to push the man away, but seeing that the little maid's hand holding the belt trembled, she still took it back.

Forget it, who made her a beautiful and kind empress.

After putting on her dress, Su Ying ate her breakfast with uneasy steps.

Because of the restraint of her dress, she ate less than usual.

"Ma'am, it's almost time."
