Behind him, congratulations came one after another.

"I, your Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

Turning his head, he saw a large group of Jinshi kneeling in a black mass. Even the beauties knelt down leisurely and glanced at Emperor Jian'an from time to time.

"Okay, stand up and take a seat."

Emperor Jian'an nodded slightly, and the scholars all stood up in panic.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Su Lili in Emperor Jian'an's arms and was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

Now, we finally know Su Lili's identity. She is the only princess of Dayong Kingdom and the darling of the emperor's heart!

It is also said that she knows magical powers and is a fairy princess.

They were just ordinary newly-appointed scholars. The little princess was the monarch and they were the subjects. As subjects, they actually dared to offend the monarch. The thought of doing so made them feel terrified.

The look he gave Su Lili also changed in an instant.

...

...

Fortunately, the princess is still young and can't speak, otherwise if she tells them about rubbing her, ten heads would be enough to chop off!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, but the lingering sound lingered in the air. Li Yun lifted his sleeves, knelt down, and paid great respect to Emperor Jian'an.

"My dear minister, please stand up. You have worked hard on the investigation these past few months. I will reward you handsomely when you return to the palace."

Emperor Jian'an smiled and nodded, motioning to Wang Yun to help him up. After Li Yun thanked him, he belatedly noticed Su Lili staring at him with her eyes wide open.

Recalling the faint voice he had just heard, his eyes flickered slightly.

Their eyes met, and Su Lili turned her head away angrily, leaving him with only her round back of her head.

Emperor Jian'an held the baby in his arms and sat on the throne at the top.

The scholars took their seats one after another, stringed music began to play again, and the atmosphere finally became lively again.

"I declare that the Qionglin Banquet has officially begun. Everyone, please don't be polite and eat and drink to your heart's content!"

After that, more food and wine were served. They were all expensive gourmet dishes with great color, aroma and taste.

Su Lili took a bite of the fish soup, and then began to feel grateful.

If you manage to slip away, you will miss a richer meal and regret it! '

Looking up, he noticed Wei Xi and Meng Yiyi again, and saw that the two were having a passionate relationship.

He glanced at Emperor Jian'an furtively again, and he was still as calm and composed as usual.

Before I had time to think about it, I saw the third place winner Xu Can stand up with the cup in his hand.

He said in a voice as loud as a bell, "I, the common people, wish your majesty a long life, wish the Great Yong Kingdom to last forever, and wish all my colleagues all their wishes come true!"

After saying this, he raised his cup and drank it all. After a pause, he said, "We are all the future loyal ministers of the Great Yong Kingdom. We must have our own opinions on the current situation. Your Majesty, I suggest that everyone speak out their thoughts."

"Alright." Emperor Jian'an thought about it and thought it was feasible. He nodded slightly and said, "Then everyone can express their opinions freely!"

【Haha, it’s time to eat melons! 】

There was melon to eat, so Su Lili immediately sat up straight, picked up a piece of crispy peach cake and licked it, her glass-like eyes flashing with gossip.

"Now the country is stable, the people live and work in peace, and the borders are as solid as a rock. This is all due to your majesty. I dare not speak nonsense!"

"Yes, yes. Today, the Great Yong Kingdom is prosperous and peaceful. It is a prosperous era that is hard to come by in a million years. If we have to find fault with it, it will really embarrass everyone!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is a wise ruler. We dare not interfere. When we become officials in the future, we will only do our duty well, seek the well-being of the people and the country, and continue the current peaceful and prosperous era!"

Hearing these compliments, Emperor Jian'an felt comforted and even a little smug.

After governing the country for many years, I am quite popular among the people. Those who keep praising me are all the top talents in the world!

As the wine got half drunk, the singing and dancing became more and more exciting. When the atmosphere was about to reach its climax, Wei Xi suddenly raised his glass and stood up drunkenly.

Emperor Jian'an thought that he was being praised again, so he straightened his back, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked calm and composed.

"If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak up. I am all ears."

Being praised as the new number one scholar is an honor worthy of showing off. It just so happens that the historian is also there, so it is just the right time to leave the most striking mark on his resume in the Great Yong Kingdom!

Su Lili, who was sitting in his arms, curled her lips in disdain. They were all flatterers, and it was annoying to look at them.

"Okay!" After receiving the nod, Wei Xi staggered and raised his voice slightly, "In ancient times, there were Yao and Shun, and now there is Your Majesty, but the rule of Yao and Shun is very different from the rule of Your Majesty today..."

As different as heaven and earth? Was he praising him or insulting him? Emperor Jian'an's face darkened slightly.

On the side, Meng Yiyi wanted to stop him, but Wei Xi, who was drunk and lonely, just wanted to speak his mind.

Then, he quoted classics from the Four Books and Five Classics, combined with various historical facts, and denounced the current political situation. His words were sharp and straightforward, and every word hit the nail on the head.

Looking at the historian writing furiously, Emperor Jian'an was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His knuckles turned white and he almost crushed the white jade cup in his hand.

Finally, he threw the white jade cup out, and it shattered at Wei Xi's feet.

"Enough, enough, shut up!"

If he continued to curse like this, he would probably be cursed for all eternity. The Emperor Jian'an was filled with shame and anger, and his heart ached.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Seeing the furious emperor, all the scholars knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Wei Xi also sobered up instantly, and broke out in a cold sweat after he realized what was happening.

His legs and feet went limp and he fell to his knees, panic-stricken and at a loss as to what to do.

He also realized that he had completely offended the emperor and had ruined a good hand.

[Father, please don't be impulsive. It is said that good medicine tastes bitter and honest advice is unpleasant to the ears. Although Wei Xi's words are unpleasant to the ear, they are also practical tips for governing a country that can be copied directly from homework! ]

[Using history as a mirror, and people as a mirror, and comparing them repeatedly, can make the Great Yong Kingdom move to a higher level! 】

[Father, if you want to become an emperor of all ages, you should use him. Wei Xi is indeed as talented as Wei Zheng in history books! ]

The persuasion from the little baby voice finally brought back Emperor Jian'an's sanity, and his anger was unknowingly dissipated by more than half.

At the side, Li Yun looked over in surprise. He could not believe that such a little baby could have the ability to govern a country.

"Alright, all of you get up. Wei Xi, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver!"

After these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked. Wei Xi, who was so frightened that his legs went limp, suddenly raised his head.

Facing the admiring gaze of Emperor Jian'an, she burst into tears of joy and bowed deeply to him, "Your Majesty has a broad mind. Given time, you will surely become an emperor of all ages and lead the prosperity of the Great Yong Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive the narrow-mindedness of what I just said. It is a blessing for the country of Yong and even more so for the people to have such a wise ruler!"
