As soon as the birthday gift presented by the Zhongxian County Bo's Mansion came out, the second prince caught the attention of the left prime minister and stood up on his own initiative and said that the treasury was empty and the second prince's manor donated 20,000 taels of silver notes to rebuild the homes of the border people.
The second prince had said so. The eldest prince and other princes were still indifferent. At that moment, they all stood up and said how much the government had donated. Even the officials had donated more or less. However, there was no reward, so the emperor said
Thumbs up.
A thousand dollars bought a compliment, but everyone smiled as if they didn't care or were proud of it. I just don't know how their hearts were bleeding. I was afraid that they hated Zhongxian County's uncle's family to death. Fortunately, Zhongxian County's uncle's house got it.
Instead, it will bleed.
Tian Minyan lowered her eyes, thinking that she was the first person in her family, but she was quite calm about it.
Anyway, my family has no real power at all, so showing off this little limelight will not arouse the emperor's suspicion. Instead, it can make the emperor remember my family and not be despised by others. This will save those people from all their ideas.
After the gifts were presented, there was a mingling of toasts, the sound of silk and bamboo, dancing, and calls for drinks, and everyone was smiling, looking very happy.
The married woman also prepared several performances by talented women. Qiu Ningyan performed a dance, and Yao Yuying naturally played the piano. However, maybe because she was about to get married, but she was not her beloved, the sound of the piano was a bit resentful, and the listeners frowned.
Several other pretty people also prepared various performances. The queen was very happy and rewarded them with jewelry one by one.
Qiu Ningyan learned better this time and did not let Tian Minyan perform. Instead, she came over with a glass of wine and apologized to her sincerely.
"My dear sister, the County Lord, has a lot of people, but don't blame me." She smiled, but there was resentment in her eyes. If her aunt hadn't told her in every possible way or even ordered her, she wouldn't have come here.
Tian Minyan didn't see the reluctance in her eyes, but she stood up with a smile and said: "How could it be possible? Miss Qiu is too polite." You are the one, I won't let you go in vain!
"Then I'll do it first as a token of respect." Qiu Ningyan said, raising her head, drinking all the wine in the glass, and turning the glass over.
Tian Minyan smiled slightly, used her sleeve as a face, flipped her wrist slightly, and poured most of the wine into her sleeve. She took a small sip and turned the cup over. Out of the corner of her eye, she was paying attention to Qiu Ningyan and the Queen.
side.
But seeing the queen look relieved, her heart sank, but she still smiled, sat down, took out the handkerchief, put it to her lips, and spit the small mouthful of wine on the handkerchief.
This place is really disgusting. The palace is really disgusting. There are too many monsters and monsters. Fortunately, Qi Shiqi is not the heir to the throne. Otherwise, she would really have to consider whether to come together!
Poor Qi Qi Shiqi didn't know that he was disliked. He was watching the singing and dancing, listening to a report from a chamberlain, and looking at Qi Jin sitting opposite, he smiled even more heartily.
After Tian Minyan threw away the first glass of wine, she kept waiting for the second glass, but there was no second glass. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that she had thought wrong?
Impossible, Qi Qiqi will never be a person who does unprovoked things, and his feelings are not wrong either.
And what is in this wine?
Just as she was thinking this, Tian Minyan looked up and saw Qiu Ningyan's face flushed, her eyes slightly blurred, and her heart skipped a beat.
It looks like he is drunk, and a little like he has been drugged.
Tian Minyan's eyes sharpened and she lowered her head. Could it be that it was really what she imagined?
At this time, the queen said that Suigong had brought new tea, and she wanted everyone to try it while the emperor lived a long life. A group of palace maids came forward to serve tea. This time, the one in front of Tian Minyan was a very smart-looking palace maid.
However, this palace maid was too clever. Her feet slipped or her hands trembled, so she poured the hot tea on Tian Minyan.
Tian Minyan burst out laughing. It was too obvious. Seeing that the queen was furious, angry and worried, and arranged for her to go to the back hall to change clothes. Tian Minyan lowered her head and patted the water on her body. It was okay, just to see what was going on.
, since Qi Shiqi can remind her, he probably has some arrangements.
Following the young chamberlain who led the way, she entered the back hall not far from the Hall of Eternal Life. After entering the hall, a faint scent of incense hit her face. Tian Minyan was immediately alert. Ruyiben, who was following beside him, carried Tian Minyan's clothes and baggage, and the two of them entered.
In the palace, Ruyi unpacked his bag and shook off the gorgeous dress, only to see a large gash on the back of the dress.
Tian Minyan's face darkened. Now she was really sure of what she was thinking. Before she could say anything, the little eunuch also saw it and said in surprise: "Oh, why are these clothes torn? You can't wear them. Otherwise, the county prince
You will be charged with disrespect."
"Miss, this..." Ruyi also frowned.
"There should be another set. Sister, go and get it quickly. The fireworks will be set off in a while, so we can't delay." The little eunuch seemed very nervous.
Ruyi looked at Tian Minyan, very hesitant. Tian Minyan nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Please, father-in-law, please serve my county king." Ruyi stuffed a small piece of silver over her.
"Go quickly." The father-in-law took it and said with a smile.
Tian Minyan thought to herself, these two taels of silver might as well be thrown into the river.
Ruyi left soon. The little eunuch poured Tian Minyan a cup of tea diligently, and then used the tongs to stir the burning charcoal stove. The incense seemed to be stronger.
Tian Minyan took a sip of tea, spit it into the handkerchief, and covered her nose with the wet handkerchief.
Suddenly, there were panicked footsteps outside, and someone came in and said there was water outside, and asked the little father-in-law to go out and help.
The young father-in-law immediately apologized to Tian Minyan and ran out, leaving Tian Minyan alone in the inner hall. Not far behind him was a huge sleeping couch with flying gauze and a charming bed.
Tian Minyan became more and more alert, and suddenly the window opened with a creak. She was startled, and when she looked over, it was Guan Yang.
"Guan Yang, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Guan stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty asked me to take you away, I'm sorry." He picked her up and jumped out of the window.
In the small garden not far from the Eternal Life Hall, Qi Qi Qi had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Tian Minyan and the others arrived, he asked Yang Guan: "Are you ready?"
Yang Guan nodded, and the corners of Qi Shiqi's mouth curled up coldly.
"Go and invite Princess Ruimin to come over."
As soon as Yang Guan left, Tian Minyan quickly asked: "What is going on?"
"You!" Qi Shiqi lightly chiseled her forehead and said, "You are so popular, but sometimes it can be a bad thing."
"What do you mean?" Tian Minyan frowned.
Qi Shiqi sneered and said, "Don't worry, we'll go see a good show in a while."
Whoever dares to plot against him, shouldn't he be allowed to retaliate in kind? He wants to see if the queen can afford to lose her face today?
Seeing his expression, Tian Minyan felt determined. She looked in the direction of the Eternal Life Palace and narrowed her eyes.
