Chapter 61, Celebration Banquet

【Isn't this noble person the heroine Lu Yiyi? The plot is a little off track, but it seems that Cifeng will get it back on track. It seems that next, the two will really take the main plot. 】

At this time, Ji Linfeng frowned and said: "Dad, brother, I think there is something wrong with Master Cifeng? Think about it, the third prince is obviously a villain, and the respected Master Cifeng is the embodiment of justice, how can he help us?" Abuse?”

【The second brother is stupid. The villain is not the third prince but his mother-in-law. Master Cifeng will only think that his filial piety is earth-shattering. 】

Ji Linfeng pursed his lips. He finally used his brain to come up with some useful information, but was mercilessly crushed by his little sister.

【I'm just wondering, how could the monk, who was clearly aloof from the world, be persuaded by the third prince to go down the mountain? He also became a national teacher. 】

Inexplicably, Ji Hua felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

Ji Yushu's eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly said: "Dad, why don't we go to Huguo Temple to find out something. Even if we don't know why Master Cifeng came down the mountain, we can at least find out whether he took the initiative or was coerced. I need some clues."

Ji Yushu frowned, looking troubled as his thoughts were stuck.

Jihou Ye analyzed: "Master Cifeng is unconcerned with the world and indifferent to fame and fortune. He should not take the initiative to go down the mountain unless"

【Unless someone controls him? 】

Ji Hua was startled by her thoughts and broke into a cold sweat. Who can control a monk who is good at divination? The third prince seems not to have this ability.

Ji Linfeng felt a chill run through his body. He thought of the black shadow that controlled An Yan. Can we see Master Cifeng at the celebration banquet tonight?

“Madam, please take your children up the mountain to worship the Buddha. If you can come back safely from Jizhou this time, you must be blessed by the Buddha.” Lord Ji looked solemn.

He did not allow anyone to help the third prince win the throne. If this Cifeng is ignorant, don't blame him for killing even the monk Ji Xiaoshan.

Mrs. Ji obviously understood what Lord Ji meant and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow morning. It's getting late now. Let's go back and change our clothes and prepare to go to the palace for the dinner." This was a dinner held in the name of the Ji family, and they had to go as guests.

It’s just that they don’t know what dragons and tigers’ dens are waiting for them ahead.

Banquets for courtiers were held in Lintian Hall, which was adjacent to Zhengde Hall. When the Ji family arrived, the palace was already filled with officials and their families. But no one from the Beiheng family has arrived.

 Imperial Physician Mu is already here, surrounded by a group of officials fawning over him.

After the Ji family sat down, the officials who surrounded Imperial Physician Mu and his wives moved toward the Ji family while pushing cups and changing cups.

They all said, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, for your great achievement."

Mr. Ji responded one by one. Mrs. Ji held Ji Hua in her arms and could only nod and smile, unable to clink glasses in thanks.

Everyone can understand it.

Ji Hua played with her little fleshy hands in boredom.

In the original work, this banquet was prepared for Lu Yiyi and the third prince, and had nothing to do with the Ji family.

At the banquet, the third prince kept flirting with Lu Yi, and when it was almost over, he asked Emperor Yu to grant him a hand in marriage. Emperor Yu did not respond immediately. Not to mention Lu Yi's status as a concubine, Lu Qingyan's status as the future crown princess must be considered.

The birth of two concubines from the Lu family was not a huge threat to Emperor Yu.

Later, Emperor Yu agreed because the prince had disappointed him.

Today, the position has been changed to the Ji family, and it is also the Ji family who is receiving the reward. Everything that should have been given to the third prince became owned by the Ji family. What would he think if he could foresee the future?

Ji Hua glanced around and did not see Lu Yiyi. That's right, if she had no merit in this kind of banquet, she, a concubine, would not be qualified to participate.

As soon as the idea came to this, a palace attendant outside shouted loudly: "The emperor is here, the queen is here, the prince is here, the third prince is here!"

The officials who were noisy quickly returned to their seats and all knelt down to worship. Shouting: "Long live my emperor, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen."

Jihua’s fleshy ball was held by Mrs. Ji as she knelt down and bowed. I wonder if it was because she was too heavy. Mrs. Ji loosened her grip and fell to the ground.

Everyone else knelt down, but she made a prostrate posture.

Ji Hua was speechless. She raised her eyes and met Bei Hengjin, who was smiling so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.

Jihua: "."

King Xian and Princess Xian were not present due to business reasons. Only Bei Hengjin came, led by the prince.

"All my dear friends, please get up. Tonight is mainly a celebration banquet, so there is no need to be formal." Emperor Yu spoke, and the officials sat down with cheers.

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor and the queen said a lot of local things, including their gratitude to Imperial Physician Mu and the Houye Ji family for their selfless contributions to the people of Jizhou. Not a word was mentioned about the Qinjiang family.

After all, this matter has a huge impact, and officials only need to be well aware of it.

Today we only talk about merit and not about past achievements.

Emperor Yu publicly rewarded Ji and Mu's family with hundreds of acres of fertile land and countless fines of gold and silver. In addition, Mrs. Hou was granted the title of first-grade imperial concubine.

Cause an uproar.

Jihua and Yourongyan puffed out their chests.

The antidote to the Jizhou incident was proposed by Mrs. Ji, and she played a huge role in it, so she deserves this title.

Mrs. Ji did not refuse and accepted the offer graciously. No one saw a flash of deep thought flash in Bei Hengyuan's lowered eyes.

He carefully thought about the events during this period, and it seemed that everything had changed since the failure of the Ji family's Xiaoyao transfer contract incident.

Which part went wrong?

And is the woman who appeared in his dream the noble person Master Cifeng said? If so, why couldn't he get acquainted with her?

It's strange to think about it now. The night before New Year's Eve, that woman appeared in my dream. He also appeared on Qingtian Street and saved his life.

However, he sat on Qingtian Street for three hours and never saw the woman.

Is it the reason why he was not injured that night?

Beihengyuan was deep in thought as if there was no one around.

In the first chapter, after Emperor Yu had awarded rewards to everyone in the Ji family and Imperial Physician Mu, he toasted Lord Ji and Imperial Physician Mu with a glass of wine, which gave Ji Mu and his family a lot of face. The prince also came over with a wine glass and toasted Lord Ji.

From then on, everyone knew that the Ji family had become a favorite in the hearts of Emperor Yu and the prince, and they must not be offended.

Jihua saw something different in Emperor Yu’s eyes.

Bei Hengjin shouted to the queen to hug Ji Hua.

Just when everyone thought the queen would reprimand Bei Hengjin, unexpectedly, the queen nodded in agreement. He also personally came down the steps, held the Ji family's youngest in his arms and teased her. The loving look in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.

Even Emperor Yu and the prince hugged each other. They were so honored and favored that everyone was envious.

At the same time, I also knew that the queen was not as aloof, cold, and aloof as the rumors said.

The youngest member of the Ji family is so favored by the queen, it will be a big deal when he grows up. If the prince hadn't been so much older, they would have almost suspected that the youngest member of the Ji family was the future prince concubine that the Queen had her eyes on.

Tsk, this honor is not something that ordinary people can have.

Ji Hua neither cried nor fussed, and smiled sweetly at the queen.

【Hehe, after being embraced by the royal family, others will not dare to bully me. Bei Hengjin is not a bad person, and he also knows how to make me look good. 】

Bei Hengjin smiled secretly: Of course, I will be the only one who can bully you from now on.

The queen smiled sweetly at Shang Jihua, feeling happy. If the prince was still young, we could have become a family, but it's a pity that the prince is too old.

But it doesn’t matter, she also watched Bei Hengjin grow up, and he is a sensible child.

In the future, if the two of them are destined, she can arrange a marriage.

After three glasses of wine, Emperor Yu talked about another thing. "I believe everyone has heard of Master Cifeng. Master Cifeng is highly respected, and his divination skills are even more impressive. It is a blessing for our court to have Master Cifeng's help."

Emperor Yu said this because he wanted to dispel the objections of various officials. Furthermore, Cifeng calculated that the third prince's life should not be cut off, and felt that this person was the capable person who could save him. Of course I don’t want to miss it.

All the officials echoed: "Yes, yes, Master Cifeng is a capable person. It would be a great blessing for our court to have this person to help us." The officials were not stupid. Isn't that why Emperor Yu killed him first and then reported the consequences? Don't you want them to object?

There is no more than a monk on the left and right, as long as they are not threatened.

The Ji family did not express their position. They always felt that something was not right about Master Cifeng. Cifeng didn't show up, and Jihua couldn't tell what was wrong with him.

But looking at Bei Hengyuan's complexion, it was obvious that he was not defeated by the Qin family's incident.

This makes people have to wonder what happened between him and Master Cifeng that could change the situation.

The celebration banquet went on smoothly for two hours. The Ji family thought that there would be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den waiting for them, but it turned out to be unexpectedly smooth. It's unnervingly smooth.

The way Emperor Yu looked at Ji Linfeng made people unable to sleep for three days and three nights.

When the Ji family left the palace, Bei Hengjin chased after them, shouting: "Sister Hua'er, sister Hua'er."

Jihua waved her hand at him impatiently.

Why is this guy so clingy? He is not at all as cold and inhumane as described in the original work. 】

Bei Hengjin, who had just been hugged by the queen, sat down next to the queen and teased her, regardless of the unusual looks from everyone. The words that came out made people think even more.

“Sister Hua’er, why don’t you take the jade pendant I gave you with you? There is also the peace charm, which is to protect your safety. You must wear it with you, otherwise, I will worry about you.”

Ji Hua only felt that the brat was extremely noisy and had nothing to do with the character described in the original work.

【I got it, I got it, go home quickly! 】

Bei Hengyuan returned to Yuehua Palace and saw his mother sitting blankly at the door, which touched his heart. "Mother, the ground is cold, get up!"

When Bei Hengyuan stepped forward to help Qin Wan, the latter suddenly grabbed his hand, and his words shocked Bei Hengyuan for a long time.

“Yuan’er, mother still has a trump card in her hand, it’s time to take action.”
