Chen Yun didn't care what others thought of her. She was indeed a little hungry. What was wrong with eating while enjoying singing and dancing?
The dancers in the palace were all outstanding. Chen Xun watched the singing, dancing and opera on the stage with great interest.
On the other side, where the men stay.
"Brother Nine Emperors, congratulations on your recovery." King Qi Yan Lijue said to Yan Lizhou with a smile, raising the cup in his hand to toast, "Brother Nine Emperors, don't you have a drink? To celebrate your recovery."
"Yes, Ninth Brother, how about a drink?" King Yan Lisheng of Jin also toasted with a smile.
"Ninth brother, your body has recovered well. You should be able to have a drink? Have a little?" Wei Wang Yan Li'an also raised a glass and said to him.
"Yes, yes, my ninth brother was still in a coma when he got married, and my brothers haven't congratulated you on your wedding yet."
"Third brother is right. Ninth brother, you were not awake when you got married. None of your brothers congratulated you on marrying the princess in person. Now that you have woken up and recovered, it is a double happiness. No, it is New Year's Eve now.
It’s a great time, Ninth Brother, why don’t you have a drink?”
"Ninth brother..."
Yan Lizhou was surrounded by a group of brothers for a toast. Their relationship was not that good. Even if they were biological brothers but their biological mothers had different feelings, it was certainly not a good relationship.
Especially Yan Lizhou, who left the palace when he was a teenager. It has been nearly ten years since he left, and his relationship with his brothers has become even less deep.
But now he was surrounded, and the brothers showed they cared about him and were very happy for him and toasted him, and he couldn't refuse.
"I would like to thank the emperor and his younger brothers for their blessings here." Yan Lizhou is not afraid of the stage. He knows that he will definitely be toasted when he attends the palace banquet, either by his brothers or the ministers, or the clan, etc. He
Can't avoid the wine.
Fortunately, he has taken good care of his body during this period. Before entering the palace, he took the hangover pills given by Dr. Zhang. His princess also gave him hangover pills, so he didn't worry about losing his temper after drinking too much.
Discourteous.
Yan Lizhou drank a glass of wine happily, smiled and said to the brothers, "Thank you brothers for your concern and blessings."
"Come on, come on, ninth brother, keep drinking. I won't come home until you're drunk tonight!"
"Your Highness Prince Ning, congratulations on your recovery. Can you have a drink?"
"Prince Ning, congratulations on marrying an excellent wife."
"Prince Ning, congratulations..."
After the princes and princes toasted Yan Lizhou and he drank, the other clans and ministers joined in, and each one seemed to want to completely overwhelm Yan Lizhou.
Yan Lizhou didn't have any stage fright. He had been accustomed to such scenes for so many years in the military camp. Moreover, his ability to drink was not bad, and he had cheated on hangover pills, so he was not afraid of being drunk by others.
Of course, he still had to maintain the persona that he had not completely recovered, so he would shirk it when he could. There was absolutely no way he would really get drunk.
Emperor Yun Zhao, who was in power, sent away Empress Dowager Su who did not like lively scenes after her appearance. He talked with the queen, the noble concubine and several concubines, and chatted with the minister he was very fond of for a while. After that, he finally noticed the person sitting below.
The situation of the sons.
Emperor Yun Zhao was quite happy to see his sons surrounding Yan Lizhou and toasting him. He was very happy that his sons had a good relationship.
"Prince Ning is indeed looking very good. Have you taken good care of yourself during this time?" Queen Mu looked at Yan Lizhou, who was surrounded by people toasting him, and said to Concubine Yun with a smile.
No matter how much Empress Mu dislikes the other women in the harem, she will not show it directly on such occasions. This is why Emperor Yun Zhao is quite satisfied with her as the empress.
Making Mu as his queen was a choice he made after careful consideration and pressure from his courtiers. It would be impossible to say how much he liked her and how satisfied he was with her.
However, in the past twenty years, Queen Mu has done very well, and Emperor Yun Zhao was quite satisfied with the queen he chose.
Concubine Zhou was Emperor Yun Zhao's favorite woman after Empress Yuan, so she made her a concubine early. However, Emperor Yun Zhao still felt that Concubine Zhou was not of Mu family and was suitable to be a queen.
"I still have a century-old ginseng plant there. I will send it to Prince Ning later." Empress Mu said to Concubine Yun with a smile.
The centuries-old ginseng is indeed a rare medicinal material, but as a queen, she is not in short supply, so she doesn't feel bad about giving one to Yan Lizhou.
How could she not be willing to spend a hundred-year-old ginseng plant to express her tolerance and generosity, her concern for her concubine, and her generosity and love as a legitimate mother?
"I thanked the Queen for Zhou'er. The Queen is so kind to Zhou'er." Concubine Yun Gui didn't care at all what Queen Mu had in mind. If she could get a century-old ginseng, what could she refuse?
"Prince Ning is His Majesty's child after all, and I have watched him grow up. He has been stationed at the border these years and has worked hard and made great achievements. I also feel sorry for this child." Empress Mu said with a smile.
"Speaking of it, Prince Ning's concubine is indeed very lucky. She woke up Prince Ning as soon as she entered the house and waited for the arrival of Divine Doctor Zhang."
"What a blessed child." Queen Mu had a standard smile on her face. I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.
Although Yan Lizhou woke up after Chen Xun fed him the detoxification pill, he did not tell anyone outside that the poison in his body was detoxified, and no one in the palace knew either.
It was only after Xiuning brought the miracle doctor Zhang Jingyan to Chang'an that it was gradually reported that the miracle doctor Zhang had cured Yan Lizhou and cured the "thousands of poisons" in his body.
Yan Lizhou himself didn't know how his princess detoxified him, but he didn't intend to push her out to make her shine. He could thank her quietly, but he couldn't push her out in front of everyone.
Chen Xun also likes such a "low-key" life, so she did not express any opinions on Yan Lizhou's actions.
"The Queen is really a kind and kind aunt." Concubine Zhou said in a strange tone.
Empress Mu was her biggest mortal enemy. The original Empress Yuan had passed away. Even though she knew the status of Empress Yuan in Emperor Yun Zhao's heart, she knew that she could not compete with him no matter what.
Originally, she was sure of winning, thinking that she would become the successor after the death of Empress Yuan, but she was passed over by the Mu family. How could Concubine Zhou not hate the Mu family?
With deep resentment, she couldn't help but sneer and ridicule when she saw Empress Mu acting like her legitimate mother.
"The Queen is so concerned about Prince Ning. When Prince Ning just returned to Chang'an, why didn't I see you sending more medicinal materials and famous doctors to Prince Ning's mansion?"
"Also, the Queen is sending a hundred-year-old ginseng to Prince Ning? Isn't this too stingy? The Queen must have a lot of good medicinal materials in her library. Why not give more to Prince Ning to replenish his health?"
"Prince Ning must have suffered a lot of injuries while stationed at the border over the years. This time he suffered such serious injuries. He needs to make up for it."
"The Queen will not be stingy with these medicinal materials, right? The Queen is the legitimate mother of Prince Ning, so she cannot care about Prince Ning's health, right?"
"Prince Ning is in good health and has recovered as before. Only then can he continue to contribute to Dayong and His Majesty, and continue to protect the family and the country." Concubine Zhou looked at Empress Mu with a smile.
