C474 Her Majesty's birthday

"Leave this matter to me, don't worry."

"I'm not worried. Anyway, it's not just a day or two since my man is popular."

Liu Ruo Qing turned his head and avoided Yan Yuan's teasing, either intentionally or unintentionally. She immediately raised his head and sealed Yan Yuan's lips, "If you tease me again, I'll be furious."

Liu Ruo Qing's low warning voice came from between their lips.

"Don't you think turning over a new leaf is better than turning hostile?"

"Rogue."

The empress dowager's birthday was on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. In recent years, it had already been a lively day. Today was the empress dowager's birthday, and the imperial palace was filled with an incomparable sense of joy.

Kaiser was filial, and this year was the empress dowager's birthday celebration.

The birthday banquet was being held in the Hall of Excellence. At this time, the hall was brightly lit, and all of the ministers and their families had arrived. In addition, the foreign ministers had also entered the hall one by one to take their seats.

There was a jubilant smile on everyone's faces.

Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing were slightly slower than them, when everyone saw the couple walk over, they all went up to pay their respects, and then, welcomed them to their seats.

Yan Yuan and Yue Yang's seats were located at the bottom of the Kaiser, which showed just how noble their status was.

Yan Jue was sitting opposite to Yan Yuan and the others, and was also at the top seat. The two seats were respectively placed on the two sides of the seat of the Kaiser.

Liu Ruo Qing sat beside Yan Yuan. Seeing that Yan Jue was drinking with his eyes downcast, without a trace of a smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel somewhat puzzled.

She lightly pulled on Yan Yuan's sleeves and lowered her voice: "Eighth brother doesn't look right."

Hearing that, Yan Yuan turned his gaze over, and saw that Yan Jue seemed to be drinking, and was not in a good mood.

"Could it be that he has gotten into an argument with Princess Tian Xin?"

It was very lively in the Main Palace. Liu Ruo Qing's voice was low, and at the same time, she came close to Yan Yuan's side to speak, so no one heard what she said. They only thought that the husband and wife were whispering, and no one paid attention to what they were saying.

Hearing this, Yan Yuan laughed, "You really brought them together?"

Liu Ruo Qing did not think much of it, and said: "I think they are quite compatible."

But unfortunately, this matter wasn't easy to resolve unless she disappeared.

Yan Yuan thought about the interaction between Yan Jue and Yan Jue and thought that it was natural.

Looking at Eighth Emperor's current bad mood, he really couldn't think of anything that could cause him to feel dejected, could it really have something to do with Liu Tian Xin?

But even if it was related to Liu Tian Xin, why would the Eighth Emperor be so annoyed?

Yan Yuan's brows slightly furrowed, and he was a little worried in his heart.

"The emperor has arrived, esteemed empress dowager has arrived ~"

When the servant's voice rang out, everyone turned to look. They saw the Kaiser in bright yellow dragon robes helping the empress dowager walk up the hall slowly.

The empress dowager had lived for fifty years. Although there were faint lines at the corners of her eyes, she looked like she was in her early forties because she had taken proper care of herself.

In addition to her noble and noble temperament and beauty that could move the capital when she was young, her appearance in the great hall made the entire Hall of Prosperity look even more magnificent.

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed three times before sitting down again after congratulating the empress dowager on her birthday.

"Today is Wailing Home's birthday, I would like to thank all of you for your help, I am extremely grateful."

The empress dowager's words caused everyone to feel flattered and overwhelmed. All of them rose to bow and kowtow, but no one dared to accept her words of thanks.

"No need to be so formal, vassals. Just treat it as if it's your own residence, and you can do whatever you want."

Following that, the envoys from various countries presented their congratulatory gifts to the empress dowager and said a few more words of congratulations.

When it was Fenglan's turn, Liu Ruo Qing raised his eyebrows and looked towards them with interest.

Prime Minister Lan Tu got up from his seat with Princess Feng Yi and walked forward step by step.

Although Feng Yi looked sincere at the moment, her gaze was quietly looking in Yan Yuan's direction. However, the smiling eyes of Liu Ruo Qing made her look like a thief who had been caught, and she immediately retracted her gaze with a guilty conscience. She bit her lower lip.

When she couldn't help but look towards the Prince Jing a moment ago, she initially wanted to let the prince take a look at her from a close distance. Today, she dressed even more beautifully than she usually did in order to attract Prince Jing's attention, but she didn't expect that he would only lower his eyes and not look in her direction.

She was both disappointed and unreconciled in her heart, but she also felt that maybe that Shen Wu Yun Ai lied to her. Actually, the Prince Jing didn't have that kind of intention towards other women, but did he treat the Crown Princess Jing with sincerity?

This thought only flashed past Feng Yi's mind.

Furthermore, how could there be a man who would not cheat? Furthermore, he was a person with a high position and authority like the King Jing, how could he not be satisfied with only having an imperial concubine by his side?

For a man to climb to a higher position, aside from authority, what he needed was money and beauties.

How could the prince waste such a good opportunity on such a high position?

Therefore, Feng Yi still thought that the Crown Prince really respected his Royal Concubine. It wouldn't be good to have such thoughts towards other women in front of her.

After offering her gift to the empress dowager, Feng Yi followed Prime Minister Lan Tu back to his seat and looked in Yan Yuan's direction, whether intentionally or not. Because the seat was far away, although she could peek presumptuously, she could not see it clearly.

He really didn't know how the honorary officials of the Great Heaven Dynasty ranked, to actually place her, the princess of Fenglan, at the very end of the line.

She did not know that in the eyes of the people of the Great Heaven Dynasty, the status of these subordinate states were the same, and there was no difference in importance.

Other than the Sky Empire's officials who were ranked according to their rank, the envoys from the other subordinate countries all sat down according to the order in which they came in first.

She arrived too late because of her heavy dress, so she had no choice but to sit at the end.

After sitting down, Kaiser subconsciously searched for Yun Jiao Rong's figure.

These seats were arranged according to the rank of official. Even though the ceremonies officials knew that Yun Jiao Rong was the Emperor's most elite, they did not dare to go against the rules and bring Yun Jiao Rong to the front.

She — not the Empress, not the concubine — was at the front of the line, and she was afraid of being picked up by the censors.

However, she didn't dare place Yun Jiao Rong in the last row, so Yun Jiao Rong's position was placed at the bottom of the official rankings, and was also placed first among the envoys and officials of the various nations.

Actually, to Yun Jiao Rong, such an occasion was a little out of place.

She wasn't the empress dowager, nor was she an official's family member. Sitting here was a very awkward position, but now that she lived in the palace, how could she not come over to congratulate the empress dowager's birthday celebration? She had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.

When she received the mocking gazes of some of the Shangguan family's young misses, she couldn't help but frown. Her eyes drooped down and her nose focused on her heart, no longer looking at those people.
