Sure enough, many young eunuchs soon appeared behind him.
Holding the eight-treasure food box in their hands, they served dishes to the concubines' tables one by one.
But no matter how exquisite it is, it cannot be seen by everyone at this moment.
They were looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they got the emperor back.
But I couldn’t even meet a few people.
A good New Year's Eve banquet should have been celebrated happily, but now...
Many people blamed Concubine Yi in their hearts. If her inappropriate words in the morning had not angered the emperor, the emperor would not have given up the choice like this.
But anger is just anger, and no one dares to show it.
Concubine Yi's majesty is not something they can challenge casually.
If you are not convinced, okay, then be prepared to accept death.
But who would think that they are tired of life?
Therefore, I can only suppress my anger in my heart and say nothing.
Concubine Yi looked quite embarrassed, but she had to pretend to be calm at the moment.
Concubine Ying next to her was not happy either, so she asked more questions.
"Eunuch Dong, didn't your concubine go to invite the emperor? Why didn't you see her come back?"
This question made everyone think of Lin Wanyi again.
Dong Yuzhong, on the other hand, has been serving the emperor for many years and has never seen anything like this.
Start acting immediately.
He said with a sigh.
"My concubine went there at the wrong time. The emperor is worried about state affairs, so... I asked your concubine to go back to the palace first."
Dong Yuzhong said it euphemistically, but it was this euphemism that made everyone think that if she was asked to go back to the palace first, she must have been scolded so badly that she would not be able to come back again.
What's more, the emperor banned him!
Thinking of this, Chu Yaosheng couldn't hold back the excitement on his face.
Others also expressed their anger at the emperor's absence here.
I suddenly felt that I deserved it!
Whoever allowed her to be in the limelight like this should let her know what it means to be morally unworthy.
Concubine Ying said with distress on her face.
"Hey, it's all my fault. If I hadn't suggested that your concubine go, it wouldn't have happened..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Changzai immediately comforted her.
"Don't worry, Madam. Today is the New Year's Eve banquet. You have to be happy. Otherwise, what will happen if your luck in the coming year is affected?"
As soon as she said this, everyone thought it made sense.
Especially the draft every five years that the emperor only mentioned, this is beneficial to everyone.
Everyone wants to be lucky and be favored by the emperor at a glance. Wouldn't it be possible to rise to the top like Lin Wanyi?
Therefore, everyone had a smile on their face.
"Well, in that case, let's celebrate it as sisters. The first glass of wine at this New Year's Eve banquet will be a toast to the Emperor and Wei."
Concubine Yi spoke, and the other concubines naturally followed suit.
So even though there was no emperor present, they still had a lot of fun and laughter during the meal.
It's warm inside the palace and lively outside.
Thousands of households closed their doors early and cooked many meals in a lively manner, just for this reunion day.
The Dong family is like this, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is like this.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, without the participation of the First Fang, this reunion dinner was the most comfortable one for Princess Rongkang.
The table is full of dishes, all of which are auspicious and festive.
Sitting around the table today, in addition to the second master Lin and the second wife Wang, there is also Lin Guangzhi who has returned from studying in the Imperial College.
He is now around eighteen years old, but he doesn't look mature at all.
I am tired of being around Princess Rongkang, and I am still as fond of asking for rewards as I was when I was young.
Princess Rongkang holds this grandson in the palm of her hand.
Naturally, there is no room for him to make any mistakes.
It's just that this appearance made Prime Minister Lin feel that he was a kind ancestor but a defeated grandson.
So he opened his mouth and asked.
"It's been five or six years since you studied in the Imperial College. Why haven't you come back with a degree? Could it be that you're just having fun in there all day long?"
Prime Minister Lin has been away from Shengjing City most of the time in recent years.
Therefore, we know very little about our grandchildren.
As soon as he spoke like this, Lin Guangzhi's face didn't look very good.
Said with a smile.
"Grandpa Lao is worried. My grandson's health has never been good, so he always gets sick when exams are approaching. Originally, he could answer those questions, but in the end...that's why..."
His words were hesitant and hesitant, but it turned out to be false at first glance.
Prime Minister Lin had never had hope for his grandson, who had never been very successful.
So I can't say I'm very disappointed.
Second Master Lin, on the other hand, is more in line with Prime Minister Lin's expectations.
He is not too old, not even forty years old, and he is already the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Given time, he might be able to get his position as prime minister.
Therefore, it does not matter if the grandson fails, as long as he can give birth to a legitimate grandson for the Lin family, he will retire from the court and educate himself himself.
It will surely keep the Lin family worry-free for generations to come!
So he said to Mr. Lin and his wife.
"If Guangzhi's studies continue like this, he should stop hanging around in the Imperial College and find some free time. You parents should also consider his life events. After all, over the past year, nineteen years have passed since he was born.
If I delay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good house."
Hearing this, Princess Rongkang laughed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, Guangzhi is just a little weak. If he takes more care of himself, he will definitely be able to make a difference. Besides, we are looking at this marriage. Several wives have sent me letters and are very satisfied with Guangzhi.
It’s just that I’m still paying attention.”
Upon hearing Princess Rongkang's words, Prime Minister Lin just hummed.
As for the marriage, he wasn't too worried.
You can tell from the way she picked her daughter-in-law that she must have a good family background and be easy to handle, so this granddaughter-in-law is probably the same.
So he didn't say anything more.
Aunt Guo couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she saw that Lin Guangzhi, the only male grandchild in the family, was so valued.
As my aunt, I can only stand and serve her.
Although my daughter sat with everyone to eat, no one at the table even glanced at her.
Except for the occasional Mr. Lin who would order some food for her, everyone else treated her as transparent.
She couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.
So while everyone was talking and laughing, he suddenly pretended to be dizzy and fell to the ground unsteadily.
Mr. Lin always liked Aunt Guo, so when he saw her like this, he immediately stepped forward to help her get up.
He asked anxiously.
"What's wrong? Why did you faint suddenly?"
Aunt Guo looked weak and unable to take care of herself, and pretended to be innocent.
"I don't know why, but I can't get enough energy these days, and I always feel a tightness in my chest."
Her symptoms sounded like she was tired to Mr. Lin.
But things suddenly changed for Princess Rongkang and her second wife, Mrs. Wang.
