A year ago, Mingruo felt most unfamiliar and fearful about the palace and the world. Now, instead of facing the world alone, she is much calmer and calmer.
The carriage stopped in front of the Qianqiu Palace. Mingruo and Si Haochen got off the carriage and walked into the palace. The officials and nobles saluted one after another.
As soon as Ming Ruo sat down, the eighth princess came.
The eighth princess held a brocade box and said respectfully: "This is Mingyu's carefully selected apology gift. Please accept it from Aunt Yunhuang."
"Princess Ping is interested, but I am disrespectful." Mingruo was also curious about what gift the Eighth Princess had prepared for Queen Mother Qian, and winked at Aunt Dong.
Aunt Dong took the brocade box from the eighth princess and silently returned behind Mingruo.
The eighth princess was a little surprised that Mingruo accepted the gift so easily. However, she didn't think much about it and sat back in her seat after giving the 'big gift'.
Mingruo looked around and saw that her grandfather was not here. Only her third uncle came with her third aunt and cousin You. When she glanced at the table in Prince Duanze's mansion, Princess Ningping made a face at Mingruo.
Afterwards, Emperor Danxu, the Queen, and the Queen Mother sat at the table together, and all the distinguished officials kowtowed again.
Ming Ruo raised her eyebrows. The Empress Dowager Qian and the Empress did not deal with each other. Even reunion banquets such as New Year's Eve and Moon Eve were in the rhythm of 'with her without me' and 'with me without her'.
Did you take the wrong medicine today?
After the emperor and empress were in place, Zhang Jinliang was ordered to announce the presence of envoys from other countries.
Yan Zhaobai walked into the Qianqiu Palace with two civil servants and a military commander. After bowing, the young eunuch led him to the table. Yan Zhaobai was wearing a blue-gray python robe today, with a purple gold crown on his head. Looking at the majestic and noble equipment, he was attracted by
During the banquet, the hearts of all the noble ladies were moved.
Especially Princess Kang Yi, who was sitting next to the queen, looked straight.
Alarm bells blared in Mingruo's head - the brainless pig wanted to eat the most energetic cabbage in his field!
Si Haochen only found it funny, tilted his head and whispered: "With your mouth pouted so high, are you asking your husband to tie the horse?"
"Hmph! Your niece wants to fuck my brother."
"That's only if she can reach it." Si Haochen poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Mingruo.
"Emperor Danxu will probably fulfill Kang Yi's wish." Although two princesses from Nanrong have already married into the Donghuan royal family, Prince Si Haochen and Danxu are not of the same mind.
"In terms of closeness, Kang Yi is still the prince's sister." Si Haochen said quietly, "Even if Dan Xu is willing, if you write a letter back and say that you don't like Kang Yi, your father-in-law will not agree."
"Ah, I forgot about my father's trump card." Mingruo patted his head, "I also wrote that Kang Yi and others planned to frame me!"
"If you write like this... my father-in-law may ask Yan Zhaobai to marry Kang Yi to Nanrong and torture him to death just to avenge you..." Si Haochen had already understood that the emperor who was taking advantage of his father-in-law was just playing for fun.
, doesn’t play by the rules at all.
"..." Ming Ruo blinked her big eyes. Although she felt that what Si Haochen said was wrong, it made sense.
As long as Kang Yigong could not reach his fifth brother, Mingruo would feel relieved and wait for the banquet.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinliang said again: "King Yuan of Xikang and his envoys have an audience."
"Why is he everywhere?" Mingruo had a headache when he saw Feng Muyuan. This man could do a lot of bad things secretly. He came so blatantly, and he didn't know what trouble was going to happen.
Linglong, who had been sleeping on Mingruo's shoulder, suddenly opened her eyes and felt a little excited in her heart: Mom, it's delicious! It's delicious!
Ming Ruo held her forehead, Linglong, the foodie, had fallen in love with Feng Muyuan's natal Gu. She gently stroked Linglong's wings, rejecting its bloody plan to kill people and seize their 'meat'.
Linglong began to discuss: He wanted to release the life poison, can the baby eat it?
Mingruo: If you eat his life poison, will he die suddenly on the spot?
Linglong rubbed her thin legs: No.
Mingruo: That’s okay.
Linglong was trembling with excitement: Mommy is the best.
Although Si Haochen didn't know what the Gu spirit communicated with the little princess, seeing the Gu spirit staring straight at Feng Muyuan, he knew it was going to cause trouble.
Si Haochen took a sip of tea calmly. As the 'backing' captain, even if the Gu spirit caused a 'mess', he could still sort it out.
Fortunately, it was Mingruo who was connected with Linglong. If it were Si Haochen, Linglong would have directly implemented the 'bloody plan' instead of waiting for the natal Gu to come out on its own. That would be a super feast second only to the 'Queen Gu'
ah!
(Mingruo: So, you healed Feng Muling's 'Queen Gu' to fatten her up before eating her? Linglong: It depends on how she chooses... Anyway, there are only two types of Gu bugs in my eyes, one is
'Wife', one category is meaty!)
The palace maids began to serve the dishes, and before the song and dance performance, everyone still presented birthday gifts. However, those who presented gifts at the palace banquet were basically relatives of the emperor. There were also some ministers who felt that the birthday gifts they prepared were very decent, so they would
Choose to give the gift in person. After all, it is impossible to leave a deep impression on the emperor if it is mixed in a pile of gifts.
Although King Heng was the eldest son, he was not favored by Emperor Danxu. No matter how much effort he put in, he could not get any praise. Therefore, giving him a jade Guanyin was considered a decent gift.
The prince presented a screen with twelve glazed lines inlaid with tapestry and gold silk. It was carried into the hall by six powerful eunuchs. The whole screen was filled with light and was very beautiful.
Emperor Danxu was very satisfied and praised him a few times.
Afterwards, Princess Ping presented a birthday gift on behalf of King Ping: "The sun set in the water before the prince, and his leg was injured and he could not enter the palace to celebrate his father's birthday. He specially asked his daughter-in-law to confess to his father.
However, the prince found the Yong Ding, one of the ancient Nine Provinces Dings, and dedicated it to my father. I wish my father a healthy body and good luck to our country, Donghuan!"
"Okay, the third one is interested." Emperor Danxu's eyes were bright. It was rumored that if he got the nine Kyushu tripods, he could rule the world. Although Danxu didn't have the ambition to rule the world, being able to get one Jiuzhou tripod would prove that he was the king.
The emperor who was destined to be king.
Queen Mother Qian immediately spoke up and said, "Jue'er is really filial. Whatever good thing she gets, she always thinks of her father."
He was really happy to get Yong Ding, and with the help of the Queen Mother, Emperor Danxu rewarded him with longevity noodles, longevity peaches and a bunch of supplements, so that King Ping could recover from his injuries.
The birthday gifts prepared by the next few princes were quite satisfactory. With the third child in front of them, Emperor Danxu found them boring.
Turning his eyes, he saw Si Haochen sitting upright and looking seriously at his princess eating fish.
"Zhang Jinliang, what did the Nine Emperors Brother give you this year?" In the past, no matter what Si Haochen gave him, Zhang Jinliang would always report it. This year, Dan Xu really couldn't remember what Si Haochen gave him.
When Zhang Jinliang heard that it was about Prince Yun, he sweated reflexively - he had noticed that Prince Yun's Mansion did not send any gifts this year. Was Prince Yun going to give the gift in person, or had he not prepared any gifts at all?
Based on past experience, Zhang Jinliang felt that it might be the latter.
