After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

Shen Bingning pretended to be coquettish, rubbed her cheek against his neck twice, and added: "We are already husband and wife, and we have a long life ahead of us. There is no need to rush now, right?"

After saying that, she looked up silently and observed his reaction.

She wasn't sure whether Xiao Yi would fall for it.

After all, up to now, he still likes her zero.

After another heart-wrenching silence, a hint of relaxation appeared on Xiao Yi's cold face, along with an almost imperceptible nod.

"I knew you were broad-minded and wouldn't make things difficult for me."

Shen Bingning was delighted and was about to get up from Xiao Yi, but she found that he had no intention of leaving: "What is this about?"

As if he had seen through her confusion, Xiao Yi turned sideways and lay beside her, saying calmly, "Although I can choose not to disturb you, this is our wedding night after all. If I leave suddenly, it will inevitably cause criticism."

"understand!"

Shen Bingning responded repeatedly, and lay down as well, firmly assuring: "Don't worry, I will cooperate well!"

Isn't it just sleeping in the same bed? It's not like I haven't tried it before. As long as I can stick to the bottom line, everything else can be discussed.

Speaking of which, although Xiao Yi is scheming and has many schemes, once he makes a promise, he will never go back on his word.

Once her heart knot was untied, Shen Bingning felt the day's fatigue surge away like a tide. She became sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Noticing that the person next to him was breathing steadily, Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and quietly fell on the sleeping face.

She is still the same as she was three years ago, incredibly beautiful, with an inviolable and sacred temperament, beautiful as a dream.

He stared blankly, and involuntarily stretched out his fingers to gently touch the white cheek, feeling the delicateness, and then stopped.

The warmth between his fingers reminded him that everything before him was real.

A sigh disappeared in the wind.

Finally, the man slowly closed his eyes.

A good night's sleep.

The sky was slightly bright, and the scorching sun rose from the mountains, followed by a dazzling golden glow.

The dazzling sunlight shone on her face. Shen Bingning opened her eyes with great effort and looked to the side, but Xiao Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"My queen! You finally woke up!"

As soon as there was any movement in the house, Lu Zhong immediately came in with a basin of water.

While Shen Bingning was washing up, she asked, "Where's Xiao Yi?"

"The emperor hasn't finished his morning court yet."

Lu Zhong seemed to be thinking about something, and then smiled and said, "However, the Emperor said that the beginning of autumn is approaching, and there will be a spring banquet, so he asked the Empress to prepare for it."

"Spring Feast?"

Shen Bingning raised her eyebrows.

Recall that the Spring Banquet was a major event in the palace. At that time, in addition to the royal family, many dignitaries would also participate.

But Xiao Yi was not favored in the past and had never participated in the Spring Banquet, so she didn't know much about the specific circumstances.

"Do I have to go?"

By then, there will be countless people waiting for the new queen to make a fool of herself, which will be a headache.

"Of course. This is your first public appearance since becoming queen, so it must be grand and spectacular."

Lu Zhong said as a matter of course.

"understood."

Shen Bingning nodded helplessly.

She originally thought that she would be able to spend more time with Xiao Yi after marriage to enhance their relationship, but unexpectedly, except for the wedding night, Shen Bingning did not see Xiao Yi again until the Spring Banquet was approaching.

I heard that he has been handling government affairs in the Xuanzheng Hall day and night.

She went to look for Xiao Yi, but was always turned away on the grounds that he was busy with official business, which was really frustrating.

Shen Bingning didn't care much. Given the current data, it was understandable that Xiao Yi was cold towards her.

However, there were many eyes and ears in the palace, and rumors began to spread that the new queen was being neglected.

The rumors lingered for a while, and the Spring Banquet quietly arrived.

Shen Bingning was pulled out of bed by Lu Zhong early in the morning. After dressing up carefully, she walked out of the room wearing a heavy pearl and jade headdress and bright and complicated clothes.

"Would it be too much to dress up for the Spring Banquet?"

She stretched out her hand to support her head, which felt heavy from the weight, and said helplessly.

"Your Majesty may not know that although the Spring Banquet is a stage for military officials, the more beautifully the girls participating in the banquet dress up, the more attractive it will be for men to compete to offer their prey."

There was a gleam of excitement in Lu Zhong's eyes.

Shen Bingning disagreed: "What use are those prey to me? I would rather go into battle myself."

"My lady, we women are not allowed to participate in hunting."

Lu Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Men give their prey to women not only to express their admiration, but also to show respect and worship.

The more things you collect, the more people will love and respect you!"

Shen Bingning curled her lips and muttered to herself: Why can women only be vases and wait for men to come back?

If she could also participate in hunting, she would definitely not be inferior to those men.

She could only keep these thoughts in her heart.

After all, this is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is difficult for her alone to shake it.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, Lu Zhong's voice interrupted her reverie: "My Lady, we're here."

Looking up, I saw a neat row of knights and a luxuriously decorated carriage parked in the middle.

Shen Bingning lifted the car curtain and opened her eyes slightly.

When she first saw Xiao Yi's hunting outfit, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He was dressed in a black tight-sleeved python robe, looking majestic. The golden dragon pattern under the collar sparkled in the sun, and he had a wolf-skin and white jade belt around his waist, revealing a wild majesty.

Hearing the sound of the car curtain, he slowly raised his eyes like a wolf awakening, with a cold gaze.

Shen Bingning sat down next to Xiao Yi and said in a flattering tone: "Your Highness is so heroic and charming today."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, noticing the distance she deliberately kept, and frowned unconsciously.

Even though they were married, she still couldn't let go of her feelings for Xiao Qian and was unwilling to fully accept him, her "emperor's brother", as her husband.

Thinking of this, the atmosphere around seemed even more depressing.

Shen Bingning adjusted her sitting position and finally decided to move closer to Xiao Yi. She found a comfortable position, almost touching his arm.

The chill in Xiao Yi's body gradually disappeared, his eyes became soft, and he unconsciously focused on the person who was gradually approaching him. His voice was slightly hoarse: "You..."

"Oops, sorry for squeezing you."

Shen Bingning quickly distanced herself and apologized in a low voice.

Xiao Yi wanted to say something but stopped himself, his face darkened, and finally he remained silent.

The carriage continued to move forward steadily. The atmosphere inside the car was depressing. Shen Bingning finally couldn't help it and lifted the curtain to get some fresh air.

The breeze ruffled her hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

"This is my first time attending a spring banquet."

She tried to find a topic.

Xiao Yi responded calmly: "After all, you disappeared on the eve of the Spring Banquet three years ago."

"..."

You really don't know how to chat!

Shen Bingning pursed her lips and forced a smile: "I didn't expect that you, who couldn't even shoot a sparrow back then, can now stand on your own."

Xiao Yi just looked at her deeply without saying a word.
