After thanking him, Chen Jingxi retreated and stood quietly aside, unable to extricate herself from the past. Throughout history, how many prime ministers' daughters have had birthdays that have attracted the emperor to personally congratulate them? If you count on your fingers, there are only a handful of such occasions. Chen Jingxi suddenly became proud, feeling very proud, and straightened her back, as if she was bragging about how great she was.

"Jingxi, even the emperor came to congratulate you on your birthday!" Chen Jingxi's good friends said enviously.

The emperor came to congratulate the birthday of his minister's daughter. What a great honor it was. You have to know that some unfavored princesses didn't even have this treatment. As the daughter of a prime minister, no matter how high her status was, it couldn't be higher than that of the royal family.

Chen Jingxi raised her head, her face flushed as she listened to the praises from the people around her, feeling very proud. People here were envious of Chen Jingxi, and in the prime minister's courtyard over there were also a group of officials praising her.

The prime minister is still full of doubts about this. He is not Chen Jingxi, who would only be proud of this. He is also a high-ranking figure in the court. He has been able to get to this position, so naturally he is thinking more about what the intention behind this matter is. The emperor is not confused, so how could he favor the daughter of a minister so much and come to celebrate her birthday? Wouldn't this cause others to speculate without reason?

But all these cannot be revealed in front of outsiders, otherwise those people in the Censorate will surely impeach him the next day for relying on his "favor" to become arrogant and speculating on the emperor's thoughts.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the Emperor invites you." As the Prime Minister was walking around to deal with his colleagues, a man dressed in eunuch's clothes quietly walked behind him, whispered, and reminded him, "Don't let others see." After that, he retreated.

The prime minister knew that person, he was a eunuch who often followed the emperor. He glanced at the people around him without leaving a trace, and knew that the emperor's visit to the prime minister's residence was definitely not just for birthday celebrations. He really had something else to tell him, and it was very important. Otherwise, he would not have come tonight under the pretext of celebrating his daughter's birthday. You know, he can also say it after the court meeting tomorrow.

"Come, I offer a toast to the Prime Minister, wishing your daughter a happy birthday!" An official at the side came to toast the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister drank the wine in the cup in his hand, smiled and thanked him. After many years in the court, who can't do a little bit of superficial work?

Then after a while, when the prime minister was drinking with others, his body suddenly swayed, his eyes were hazy, and he looked drunk. Someone nearby saw him like this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Prime Minister, why don't you go back first, you are so drunk."
