Today's banquet shows that a lot of care has been taken.
Although it is not very luxurious, it is extremely refined and elegant, which is in line with Cen Yunchu's preferences.
Many people praised the banquet today, and indirectly they also praised Cen Yunchu.
The queen is an old fox and will not be disturbed by these things at all.
But the prince is different.
Although he promised the queen to be patient, the situation in front of him and the words in his ears still stung him like needlepoints.
Especially when he saw the emperor hugging and teasing the fifth prince, he felt that the unknown karma in his heart had already sprung up.
I really want to snatch that little beast away and throw it to the ground!
Although the anger in his heart had overflowed, he did not lose his mind after all.
Since I was sitting far away, I just drank one cup after another.
Halfway through the banquet, a eunuch beside the emperor came over and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.
The emperor then said: "I still have something to do, so I can't finish the banquet. You guys should enjoy it and enjoy it to the fullest."
Everyone then stood up and sent the emperor off respectfully.
At this time, the fifth prince was also sleepy, so Cen Yunchu asked someone to take him back to the palace to take a nap.
Everyone continued to sit down and continue the feast.
Gao Huifei is now trying hard to bridge the relationship with Cen Yunchu.
So he said with a smile: "My dear concubine, I heard that you like to drink white tea. I got two new cans here. I am not good at drinking tea. If you don't dislike it, please ask someone to send it to you later!"
"White tea is a good thing. Thank you to Concubine Hui for your kindness. But I also have a lot of it. I can't drink it all at once. It would be a pity to leave it in vain.
I think the second prince is working hard now, so I might as well give it to him to refresh himself." Cen Yunchu said with a smile.
The second prince is the son of Concubine Gao Hui. Cen Yunchu is not willing to accept her benefits for no reason, but he is also not willing to break up with her over this trivial matter.
"After all, it's the imperial concubine who has a delicate mind. I, the mother-in-law, didn't expect it." Gao Huifei quickly laughed at herself.
"Yesterday, the emperor also showed me the article written by the second prince." Cen Yunchu said with a smile, "I can really say that I can apply what I have learned, and I have fulfilled my purpose."
Concubine Gao Hui couldn't help laughing after hearing this. No mother doesn't like to hear her son being praised.
A kind word from Cen Yunchu in front of the emperor was more effective than a hundred or a thousand words from others.
In this harem, the queen and Cen Yunchu sit at opposite ends of the chess game, each holding their own right and wrong.
He must kill you to the death before he is willing to give up.
Most of the remaining people were betting, some were betting on the queen, and some were betting on Cen Yunchu.
Concubine Gao Hui had previously taken Cen Yunchu into custody, but because of Gao Yueying's relationship, she became wavering.
But one thing she could understand clearly was that the Queen was always ruthless, and even the Prince was not a kindhearted person.
Normally, the prince dislikes the second prince because he is more talented and smarter than him.
Concubine Gao Hui often worried about how the prince would treat their mother and son once he ascended the throne.
And Cen Yunchu is obviously more moral than the queen.
It was originally thought that she died in childbirth, leaving the Queen's family alone.
But who would have thought that now she has become a noble concubine.
This forced Gao Huifei to reconsider how she should stand.
The prince in the distance couldn't help but become even more angry when he saw that Concubine Gao Hui was fawning over Cen Yunchu so much.
He had already drank a lot, but he kept drinking glass after glass.
Shui Zhaoyi said with a smile: "I passed by the Royal Horse Garden yesterday and found that there were two more cows, a cow and a calf.
After asking, I found out that it was the imperial concubine who brought it in from outside the palace.
It looked so cute, the little calf wasn't afraid of people, and even licked my hand."
Shui Zhaoyi likes horse riding very much and goes to the Royal Horse Garden every now and then.
"I met that on the way into the palace," Cen Yunchu said with a smile. "It was raised by a farmer. At that time, he wanted to sell the calf. The cow chased it for dozens of miles and knelt down to beg him.
I couldn't bear to see them, so I bought both cows. I thought that even if the farmers kept them, they wouldn't last long.
I simply reported it to the Holy One and brought it back to the palace."
"Your Majesty has a kind heart, and she also has a child, so she naturally knows how to care for her baby." Song Meiren said quickly.
She has always liked to flatter Cen Yunchu, and even more so now.
Cen Yunchu also reciprocated and gave her many benefits.
Seeing how generous Cen Yunchu was, some people also came forward.
They felt that they had not been able to survive under the Queen's care for so many years, and maybe they would find a different world if they were hugged by their thighs.
Only Gao Yueying still stood firmly with the queen, but unfortunately her aunt was obviously wavering now.
The queen looked at everyone chatting and laughing kindly, and saw that the prince over there was very drunk, so she called Zhou Ren over and asked him to help the prince back to rest.
Zhou Ren stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Prince, I will help you go back and have a rest!"
"I haven't finished drinking yet." The prince rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you talking so much?!"
Zhou Ren knew the prince's temper and was afraid that if he continued to drink, he would make a fool of himself in public, so he had to lie to him and say: "I have something to tell you, and it's not convenient here."
After hearing this, the prince reluctantly stood up. Zhou Ren quickly stepped forward to help him and left the banquet.
"Prince, would you like me to help you go to the pavilion over there to have a rest and sober up?"
"I told you I'm not drunk," the prince said while breathing heavily. "Take me to the Royal Horse Garden. I want to ride a horse."
"You can't do that, Prince." Zhou Ren was so frightened that he quickly dissuaded him, "You can't ride a horse after drinking."
The prince was already so drunk that he couldn't afford to fall off his horse.
But how could the prince listen to his advice?
He staggered towards the Royal Horse Garden.
Zhou Ren followed and persuaded.
Seeing the prince coming, the eunuchs of Yumayuan also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and salute him.
Zhou Ren winked and gestured to them from behind, warning them never to let the prince ride a horse.
The eunuchs then smiled and said, "To tell you, Prince Qi, those fine horses have just been groomed and cannot be ridden."
The prince was about to roll his eyes and question when he saw two cows in the fence, eating the feed of the fine horses.
He knew that the two cows were brought by Cen Yunchu, and all the old and new grudges were tied up.
"Two stupid oxen for plowing the fields deserve to be locked up with the royal horses?! And they eat good feed!" the prince scolded, "Despicable people raise despicable things!"
After saying that, he took the riding crop from the side, walked in and whipped the two cows randomly.
These eunuchs hurriedly went in to persuade him, but how could the prince listen?
Anyone who goes against his will, whether it's a cow or a human, will be whipped hard.
The cow mooed and tried her best to protect the calf under her body.
When the prince saw it, he became even more angry. He simply took a sword and stabbed it into the heart of the cow.
