Li Shangshu, the father of Princess Lijun, came forward to see her. He was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
Since his son-in-law and daughter were both imprisoned, Li Shangshu's situation in the court was particularly difficult and he was repeatedly marginalized. However, he managed to survive with many years of experience as an official.
"Father-in-law, please get up quickly." Prince Li took a step forward and helped his father-in-law up.
Princess Lijun's eyes were slightly red, "Daughter, please pay your respects to your father!"
"Okay!" Li Shangshu looked at his daughter and nodded solemnly.
Not only Li Shangshu, but also Mr. Gong from the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Gong Shilang, came forward to greet him and said, "Greetings to Prince Li and Princess Li!"
Minister Gong is the uncle of Prince Li, and he is still sitting firmly in the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
After Prince Li stepped down, many people wanted to take him down. I originally thought that after having held the position of Minister of Household Affairs for many years, it would be easy to catch him, but in the end, he was allowed to be dug up by those under King Rong of Qi.
I dug again and again, but couldn't find anything!
So for more than a year when Prince Li, his nephew, lost power, he was still the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!
"There's no need to be polite, uncle." Prince Li also helped his uncle up.
For an occasion like today, Prince Li and Princess Li were obviously well prepared.
After scanning around, his eyes fell on King Qi and King Rong.
"We haven't seen each other for a year. The third brother and the fourth brother are now princes. Their position is one level higher than my eldest brother. It really makes me feel ashamed as the eldest brother." Prince Li looked at them and said with a smile.
He said shameful words, but he didn't even think about asking for a gift.
Of course, King Qi and King Rong didn't even have this kind of grace.
"Brother, the emperor is joking. Once you are a brother, you will be a brother forever." King Qi stood up and said.
Prince Rong sarcastically said: "As long as the eldest brother realizes his mistakes and can correct them, with his ability, it will only be a matter of time before he makes meritorious deeds and regains his title."
Prince Li looked at his younger brother who wanted to be skinned alive, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is right. Thank you to my father for giving me this opportunity to make up for my past mistakes. I have thought about it a lot in the palace this year.
There are many things that have been done incorrectly, and it would be better if the two royal brothers could expose them."
"Brother, you're welcome."
"Where did the overnight feud between brothers come from?"
King Qi and King Rong both smiled and ignored their grudges.
Prince Li also had a smile on his face, "That's good."
"The third younger brother and sister, please come and sit at home when you are free. I welcome the third younger brother and sister at any time." Princess Lijun also looked at Yin Ruyue.
Yin Ruyue smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will definitely bother you when you have time."
Prince Li also took a look at Princess Qi, who had attracted a lot of attention, and led Princess Li to sit down where they belonged.
The three brothers also toasted to each other in the distance, looking very happy.
All the courtiers and family members were furious after seeing this. They were worthy of being royal brothers. They looked so kind, but in their hearts they almost wished they could stab each other on the spot!
These turmoils and undercurrents among the princes of the Dayong Dynasty were naturally seen by Chu Mingxu and Taifu Liang.
Prince Li quickly looked at them and said with a smile: "This is the Sixth Prince of Feng Xiangguo, and the Grand Tutor Liang, right? I'm disrespectful!"
"The county prince... ahem... is indeed as charming and charming as I heard before." Chu Mingxu said to him while coughing.
Taifu Liang glanced at him with disgust, smiled and said to Prince Li, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, our Sixth Prince is not in good health."
Prince Li expressed his concern, "Can you please ask the imperial physician to come over and take a look? I see that the Sixth Prince seems to have a severe cough."
"Thank you Prince Li for your concern. I've already seen it, but our Sixth Prince has this old problem."
"Then you should take care of yourself." Prince Li said warmly.
"Thank you." Chu Mingxu coughed and his face turned red, but he still thanked him.
Everyone has already seen the frail Sixth Prince who Feng Xiangguo came to establish friendly relations with, so they didn't pay much attention to him.
After the last group of people, Uncle Qin and Mrs. Qin, arrived at the banquet, Situ Ji just showed up with Yin Ruhua.
All the courtiers in Chonghua Palace stood up one after another.
After the couple sat down, they all saluted: "Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
"My beloved sirs, there is no need to be too polite." Situ Ji glanced around. Although he stayed on Prince Li for a brief moment, he quickly moved away.
When Prince Li looked at the prince who was now in great power and had such great prestige in the court, a look of forlornness and coldness flashed across his eyes!
But nothing is revealed to the outside world.
Situ Ji ignored him and looked at Chu Mingxu and Taifu Liang, "Today's banquet is a welcoming banquet for the Sixth Prince and Taifu Liang. Please enjoy the feast!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Both Chu Mingxu and Liang Taifu stood up and bowed.
Yin Ruhua's original gaze was still on the unfamiliar faces of Prince Li, Princess Li, and the eldest princess.
Hearing the voice, he looked at the prince from a neighboring country who was coming to court. It was this look that made Yin Ruhua almost lose control of her expression.
But Yin Ruhua recovered after a brief shock, and there was no unnecessary expression on her face.
She had some guesses about Mu Mu's identity, and knew that he must have some background. After all, he had a big brothel like Jixiangzhuang under his name, and various other signs showed that he was not an ordinary person.
Of course, the fact that he was the sixth prince of Feng Xiangguo still surprised her.
Chu Mingxu's eyes just passed over her body, nothing strange at all.
It was also at this time that the eunuch's singing and shouting came:
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty and Empress Qin arrived, followed by Concubine Shu and De, and they also arrived together.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and the Queen may live a thousand lives!"
When the emperor and empress took their seats, the courtiers all knelt down and paid homage.
"All my dear friends, please be free." Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen."
When the courtiers took their seats, Princess Kanghua, who was sitting over there, smiled and said: "I just attended the Queen's birthday banquet a while ago. I didn't expect that today there will be a reception banquet for the envoys of Prince Feng Xiangguo. The excitement this time is really great.
Game after game.”
Mrs. Xiao, of course, wanted to praise her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "Isn't it? In previous years, there were very few palace banquets. This year, there are two in a row. It's really lively."
I just don’t know if I will see a butt as white as last time at today’s banquet?
Concubine De glanced at the two people, with a cold look in her eyes.
The old thief Kang Hua was the one who made her so embarrassed last time!
And it was Xiao Han, a bitch, who spread the news to everyone!
Don't ask her to find a chance, otherwise it won't be easy for them!
