When giving gifts, isn't it necessary to wait until the banquet is over and the guests have left, then go back and slowly open them piece by piece?
Two-thirds of the princes belong to the party of the eldest prince Rong Yu.
The eldest prince was forced into the palace and arrested, so these people formed a faction of their own and had almost no contact with Rong Chu on weekdays.
Rong Chu was appointed as the crown prince, but their most respected eldest brother was still imprisoned, which made them have more hatred towards Rong Chu.
What kind of gift can you sincerely prepare for a child born to a person you hate?
Rong Qi's face turned pale after being named.
"Father, my son..." His face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, and it was a little difficult to breathe. He swallowed hard and said, "My son, I only found out an hour ago that Emperor Cheyue's nephew was holding a 100-day banquet today.
I blame the servants in the mansion for not knowing to tell me such an important thing earlier, so...so..."
"So what?" Although Emperor Yun seemed to be in low spirits due to illness, as an emperor, the majesty revealed in just a few words made Rong Qi tremble all over, making it even more difficult for him to swallow his saliva.
His voice was trembling, and cold sweat continued to fall from his forehead, "So... So I was in a hurry... and didn't have time to choose a gift properly. I was afraid that my father would be angry when he saw it."
Emperor Yun looked at him twice and sneered, "You will know if I will be disappointed or not. You will know after seeing it. Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and present the gift."
Rong Qi knew that he could not refuse, so he gritted his teeth and presented the gift timidly.
A long box.
There is a stuffed animal in the box.
The puppet is dirty and smelly, with a hideous face and a bloody mouth, making it look extremely sinister.
Yao Ji turned her head and glanced, her face instantly turned cold, "Your Majesty, is this the gift that the second prince gave to Che Yue? This gift is really special and impressive. Not to mention a child, it is just a concubine.
I’m afraid I’ll have nightmares at night.”
Emperor Yun also quickly darkened his face.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Rong Qi, is this your gift to Prince Che Yue?" It seemed as if the temperature suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, the surrounding air condensed into ice, and the bursts of cold air emitted made Rong Qi tremble uncontrollably and made a plop.
Kneeling on the ground, he said with a fearful expression, "Father, this... I didn't choose this gift. I just ordered my entourage to prepare the gift. I didn't know what was in it beforehand!"
Emperor Yun shook his head, his face full of disappointment, "Since you don't know? Why did you just tell me that you were afraid that I would be angry when I saw you? Rong Qi, you let me down so much."
"Father..." Rong Qi's face turned red.
The so-called family scandal should not be publicized.
In front of all the ministers, it was another hundred-day banquet of Xiao Yuanxiao, and Emperor Yun did not want to spoil the atmosphere.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he closed his eyes and said, "You don't have to attend Che Yue's 100-day banquet. Go back immediately and spend three days in isolation."
After Rong Qi left, the other princes became even more uneasy.
Three days of shut-up and reflection is not a very serious punishment.
But it wouldn't be a good idea if you angered your father because of the gift and aroused his disgust.
What made them relieved was that Emperor Yun did not ask to check the gifts of other princes later. He must have been afraid that he would see something that would make him angry. Then he would be unable to suppress the anger in his heart and get angry. This Hundred Days Banquet
