Chapter 177 177. Palace Banquet
Concubine Shu looked on with cold eyes, not caring at all about Concubine Wei's hatred.
The two of them have met before, but its a pity that Concubine Wei is too arrogant. How did she survive in a harem that eats people without spitting out their bones for more than 20 years?
It seems that the Duke of Wei behind him is a difficult person to deal with.
"Your Majesty, Sister Wei only speaks out in a moment of anger. You must not take it to heart."
When Emperor Qi saw Concubine Wei leaving in grief and anger, he was naturally very angry, but then he thought that she was just a woman. If she hadn't been deeply in love with him, she wouldn't have been so angry. Thinking of many past feelings, he faced the palace next to him. said the man.
Go and send the ice jade bracelet that Xueyu Kingdom paid tribute to Hanzhang Palace this time, and tell the noble concubine that I will treat her as before. If you have figured it out, you can come see me again.
After all, he is someone who has been with him for many years, so it is not easy to criticize him harshly.
Your Majesty is really nostalgic.
Hearing Concubine Shu's joking, she was immediately seduced by her eyes. He held her in his arms and said, "It's not you who made me and the concubine estranged, and even sent the humerus to the emperor." Ling, they say beauty is a disaster, but when I saw your beauty, it turned out to be very powerful!"
"Humph, Your Majesty made up his own mind, and the decree he made was all blamed on me. If you say this, I will not dare to go to the palace banquet with you, lest others do the same as Your Majesty and say that I am a concubine. Disaster."
Emperor Qi almost couldn't help it because of his coquettish look, and whispered in her ear, "I am the True Dragon Emperor, are you afraid that I won't be able to suppress this trouble like you?"
Concubine Shu lowered her head and smiled softly, smiling.
In the Ninghui Hall, when the Queen arrived with everyone in the harem, Emperor Qi and Concubine Shu had not arrived yet.
The palace servants whispered to her about Concubine Wei's confinement, and a proud smile soon appeared on her face.
The eldest princess next to her was also happy, "After all, the queen mother is so clever that she can overthrow the imperial concubine without even using a single soldier."
"It's too early to talk about bringing her down now, but she has been domineering in the harem for so many years, so she should learn how to write the word "suffering a loss".
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both showed successful smiles, and then heard the eunuch's voice coming from outside.
After hearing this, Concubine Shu replied more respectfully than obeying orders, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the Queen."
After everyone above the chairman was seated, the eldest prince raised a toast. He was in a lot of limelight today. His father was absent, Duke Wei was demoted, and the ninth prince, who had always been on the same level as him, was nowhere to be found. .
He is the only one in Ninghui Palace. How can such a scene not be exciting?
Father, mother, queen, and sons and ministers, I would like to borrow this thin glass of wine today to wish me a prosperous Jin Dynasty that will be passed on to all generations.
Okay, your Majestys words are very comforting to me. Ill drink a full cup!
After saying that, he picked up the golden cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. The queen next to him also drank the wine together. The couple looked at each other and said nothing.
"The prince has made great progress recently, and the congratulations this time have been done well. The prince is about to give birth. In this case, why not have good things come in pairs? To convey my will, the eldest prince can be named Prince Ke to show his merits. .
Prince Ke is the first prince of this dynasty. Although he is not a prince, he is already a higher rank than the other brothers. I originally thought that the ninth prince would be the first among the brothers to be crowned prince. Unexpectedly, God Sui Ren's wish actually fell on his head.
The queen was overjoyed, and the eldest prince was also filled with joy. He and his concubine knelt down to thank her.
When he stood up again, one of the courtiers spoke up and said, "Congratulations to Prince Ke, congratulations to Prince Ke."
The eldest prince was so happy that the corners of his mouth never curled up all night.
"Zheng Aiqing from the Ministry of Rites has also worked hard. Since the minister has retired and returned to his hometown, I will simply let you take this position. You should work harder in the future."
The order was issued urgently and quickly. Although it was expected, in the end it was better to actually implement it.
Zheng Junyi, the Minister of Rites, immediately knelt down to thank God for his great kindness.
The Zheng family also became enthusiastic and became the target of toasts from various officials.
"My dear friends, there is no need to be restrained. Although it is a palace banquet, it is also a family banquet for the envoys to wash away their dust. Don't be formal, just be happy." Emperor Qi gave an order, drums and musical instruments were played one after another, and the dancers were alone. She jumped up gracefully, and the scene was relaxed and lively.
Gangs and cups mingled with each other, and drums and music played in unison.
Emperor Qi drank a few drinks with the queen, and then turned affectionately towards Concubine Shu. Concubine Zhen behind her also rushed up to offer a toast. Wu Nong's whispering tone made Emperor Qi even more happy.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy, and then they heard a figure hurriedly walking in from outside, with a serious look on his face.
