My Princess Has Been Reborn - Chapter 90

When the prince led the kings and princesses, the hall of Xuande was full of excitement.

Today, the emperor’s birthday, no one dared to be late for the palace banquet, including a group of envoys who arrived early, and everyone gathered together in twos and threes to talk gossip, and even those small country envoys were not left out, making the atmosphere in the palace very impressive. harmonious.

After Qi Yang and Lu Qipei sat at the same table, the princes and princesses were on both sides, and the envoys and courtiers sat opposite. The two of them were left alone, whispering together, the Rongshi who was looking at him frowned, and did not dare to cast his eyes too far.

Fortunately, everyone stepped on the dot to leave the Xuanshi Hall, so shortly after the princes and princes took their seats, the palace banquet began.

The emperor was dressed in profound clothes and was late. When he walked through the hall calmly, everyone on both sides stood up and bowed, bowed their heads in salute.

The black clothes were placed in the crowd, and finally they came to the top and took a seat in front of the throne.

The emperor’s majestic voice sounded immediately, avoiding everyone’s salute, and then opening the scene with two polite words. The awe-inspiring majesty that had arisen from the emperor’s entry into the hall before gradually dissipated, and the atmosphere in the hall became much calmer.

When this palace banquet was to celebrate the emperor’s birthday, the prince and the prince took the lead.

The prince, the prince, and the prince, first attended the line to the imperial court, and bowed and said, “The birthday of the emperor is celebrated throughout the country, and the sons and ministers wish the emperor a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan.” He said, “The son and the minister are dull, and everything in his body is the grace of the king. Today, I only have a picture of a hundred years of life written by myself, and I hope my father and the emperor don’t blame it.

Of course, the emperor would not blame the prince for the simple gift, and immediately smiled and encouraged, and the servant took the picture of the 100th birthday presented by the prince, and began to taste it in public.

The so-called Hundred Life Picture is written by one hundred characters for longevity. Someone used tricks to get a hundred people to write a longevity, and they could also make up a picture of a longevity. However, some people bother to make a hundred birthday characters by themselves, and it takes a lot of effort to write beautifully with different characters. The prince is obviously the latter. In his capacity, it is too simple to find hundreds of people to come to this Hundred Life Picture. On the contrary, it is better to write it yourself.

The emperor knew that this character was actually handwritten by the prince himself after reading it, and he thought that his right hand was half-spent to practice his left hand calligraphy, and now he does not know how much time and effort it takes to write such a character. Moved in my heart for a while, I said three good words.

Even the emperor had said yes, how could the officials be disappointed, and the hall was full of praise.

This makes the faces of the other princes not very attractive. They spent money and thoughts, thinking that they had found an exquisite and precious thing to make a birthday gift with the emperor, just to win the emperor’s praise and praise from the officials. However, at this moment, they have not offered the birthday gift, and let the prince use a pair of worthless Hundred Life Diagrams to take the lead. How can it not make people angry?

But angry to angry, at this palace banquet, in front of the emperor and courtier envoys, the kings did not dare to say a word. Only a few gazes fell on the prince, full of jealousy and unwillingness.

The prince has been the crown prince for many years, and he has been deeply graced since he was born. How can he see that the gaze is less, or that the prince grew up under such jealous and unwilling gaze, now he is self-assured. After thanking the emperor for praise, he sat back.

The birthday celebration started, and it should continue.

Under the prince, the second prince died young, the third prince was condemned for conspiracy, and then the fourth prince Qi Wang.

King Qi was a little bit unable to sit still when the officials were praising the prince. At this moment, he jumped up and said, “Father, my son heard that auspiciousness was born in Qizhou a month ago, and there is a glow in the sky. Winding around makes people look for it. Fortunately, I found it before my father’s birthday, and dedicated it to my father. I wish my father a healthy body and a happy life.”

The emperor has sat on the throne for decades. He has never heard of anything, and what kind of auspicious has never seen him. He knows that the so-called auspicious is mostly caused by man, and the purpose is to please him.

Because of the auspicious matter, the emperor was eight percent unbelieving, but it was always a happy event to involve auspiciousness. Therefore, although the emperor lacked interest in his heart, he still showed two points of joy on his face, and asked, “It is He Xiangrui, and I will show it to the palace.”

Seeing the emperor’s face with a smile, King Qi thought he had given his birthday present well, and his back was three points straighter than before. He personally ordered, and soon four servants came up to the temple carrying the birthday gift from the red cloth. When it was set, King Qi came forward with a red face and lifted the covered red cloth. A glass water tank underneath was exposed.

At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, and the warm yellow light penetrated the clear glass, clearly revealing a dragon fish in the water tank.

It was a real dragon fish, slender like a snake, with golden scales attached to its body, a dragon’s beard on the lips, and only half of its face like a fish. The other half looked more like a legendary golden dragon.

Since ancient times, it has been said that a fish leaps over a dragon gate. Except for it has no claws or horns, and is trapped in a fence, this dragon fish has the appearance of a dragon.

No one had seen such a dragon fish, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was auspicious. For a while, his eyes were widened and his face was full of surprise. Even the emperor who hadn’t cared before could not help but take a few minutes in his heart, and even got down from the throne himself and walked to the glass water tank to take a closer look.

Seeing this, King Qi became more and more complacent, looking at the emperor with bright eyes, only waiting for his father to praise him.

However, the emperor stared at the water tank for a long while, but he didn’t say anything. He was silent for so long that King Qi was a little flustered when he waited, so he cautiously called “Father Emperor”

The emperor returned to his senses and nodded and said, “The emperor is bothering, yes.”

After saying this, the emperor waved his hand and motioned to the waiter on the side to carry the birthday gift down. He also turned and walked back to the throne. He didn’t say anything bad, but the reaction was a bit flatter, not like seeing this. What Xiang Rui should look like. Especially the emperor was quite interested before seeing it up close, but how could he react like this after seeing it?

There was a bit of suspicion in everyone’s hearts, and they all suspected that it was Qi Wang who cheated, and the emperor found out the clues.

Such speculation, but no one dared to say, only looking at King Qi was a little weird. King Qi was so angry from his heart that he felt inexplicable, and the gaze on the throne couldn’t be more aggrieved.

Qi Yang, who was on the sidelines, also felt strange, sneaking into Lu Qipei’s ear, and whispering to her, “Father, what happened before I looked so happy, and this Dragon Fish Xiangrui had never seen it before.”

Lu Qipei observed more carefully, or maybe it was because she was at a good angle, so he whispered back to Qi Yang, “I see the dragon fish in the tank, the belly seems to be a little white.”

When Qi Yang heard that, his beautiful eyes opened slightly and his fish belly turned white, he was about to die. The ominous implication of such a birthday gift on the emperor’s birthday was self-evident. Thanks to the emperor’s calmness and a clear head, he knew that King Qi couldn’t do it intentionally, otherwise there would be thunderous anger right now. But this is the case, it is estimated that the stomach is holding fire right now.

As the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard a loud bang, and everyone in the hall turned their heads in shock.

But seeing that the glass water tank was being lifted down by the red cloth by the servant, the whole bottom of the tank suddenly fell off for some reason. The water in the tank splashed all over the floor without talking, among the broken glass fragments, the golden dragon fish was instantly conspicuous.

No one expected it would be such a scene, and there was a moment of silence in the hall.

What Lu Qipei saw before was not wrong. The dragon fish was about to die, so even if it fell out of the water and fell into the shards of glass, its golden tail only swept twice weakly, and then completely stopped moving.

Even if everyone in the hall has no knowledge, there is always common sense. When I see the dragon fish, I don’t know how it is. The hall is full of air for a while. Only then did the few servants who carried the tank reacted and knelt down and begged for mercy. All are panic.

The emperor’s face was so dark that he could drip ink, watching the chaos in the palace without saying a word.

King Qi finally reacted from this shocking change, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the palace and said, “Father, father, listen to your son’s explanation. The son’s minister indeed found auspiciousness to offer it. When he entered the palace before, the dragon fish returned Okay, it’s alive and kicking, and I don’t know why it’s just like this. And this colored glaze is also made of a whole piece of colored glaze. How can it fall off the ground? Someone must harm the child, and ask my father to give it to you.”

When things came to an end, King Qi finally had two points of alertness, and this explanation sounded plausible. However, in this situation and situation, in front of outsiders, the emperor and Liang Guo’s face was really lost after a farce.

The emperor had chosen to forbear his anger before, because there were foreign envoys in the palace, and he didn’t want to make the family scandal public.

But now that his face was lost, the emperor had to continue to bear it, staring at King Qi fiercely, “I still don’t retreat.”

King Qi tremblingly got up, wiped his cold sweat, and returned to the table. He looked around, but felt that his left and right brothers were all harming him. Finally, his gaze fell on the prince, and the hatred was even worse. Obviously, he felt that the prince was the most suspicious.

The prince ignored him. Seeing that the emperor was still in anger and the atmosphere in the hall was depressed, he ordered the waiters who were still begging for mercy, “Don’t clean up the hall, and go back.”

The few servants, who heard the words like an amnesty, were busy picking up the shards of glass and water in the temple. Only that dragon fish, no one dared to move for a while, but Zhang Jian ordered someone else to take away the body of the dragon fish.

The palace people moved quickly, but within a moment, the palace returned to its previous appearance, as if that had never happened before.

But the atmosphere has gone bad. At this moment, who can really take the emperor’s birthday, and continue to celebrate the birthday with the emperor. The king Wei, who is in line behind the king of Qi, is shrinking his neck. At this moment, he dare not move forward. The emperor was unhappy, and for the first time it was a pity that the king of Chu had been seized of the title. The king of Chu was ranked in front of him. If he was still at this time, he would be in front of him.

It was a pity that King Chu was not there, but he couldn’t hide it if he wanted the atmosphere to be restored. In the end, King Wei had to bite the bullet and step forward under the gaze of everyone, saying a congratulatory message to the emperor, and giving him a birthday gift.

Wei Wang’s birthday gift is also quite expensive, it can be seen that it was carefully prepared, but compared with Qi Wang, it is considered quite satisfactory.

The emperor didn’t like such extravagant gifts, but when he saw him at this time, he couldn’t help but relax. He nodded, then said a few words of encouragement to Wang Wei, and smiled slightly, which gradually eased the atmosphere in the hall.

Then King Wu offered birthday gifts, and then a group of princesses. When it was Qi Yang’s turn to present the birthday gift, the emperor heard that it was the Bodhisattva she had specially invited to Huguo Temple to fast, and the smile on his face finally became more real.
