Chapter 297: Making Trouble

Ministers:!!!

Prime Minister Su, you are going too far!

But then again, it's better to give it now than as a birthday gift!

"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Great Qin!" Everyone in the hall saluted and congratulated, their voices echoing throughout the front hall of Wuying Palace!

Even many ministers looked at their Majesty with affectionate eyes. So many umbrellas for all the people have never appeared in history!

They must secure a place to be buried with His Majesty in the Imperial Mausoleum!

Rong Yue had tears in his eyes. He did not carry out reforms for the sake of the common people. The aristocratic families were so powerful that they could even compete with the imperial power during the previous emperor's time. He had been working hard to clean up the court for more than twenty years, and his reforms were also for the sake of the Qin Dynasty.

He didn't expect that the people would actually remember him in their hearts. How could Rong Yue not be moved?

He subconsciously looked at Crown Prince Rong Jinyou. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Rong Yue felt inexplicably relieved.

"My dear ministers, please stand up. I am happy today. All the people of the Great Qin who reclaim wasteland will be exempted from taxes for three years." As for the general amnesty, Su Zhenzhen once complained that the laws of the Great Qin were so strict. Wouldn't the general amnesty release those criminals who were finally apprehended?

When Rong Yue heard it, he thought it made a lot of sense.

"Long live His Majesty!"

After he blinked hard and held back the tears in his eyes, the banquet began.

The sound of ritual music lingered in the air. When His Majesty started to eat, everyone else started to eat as well.

Rong Jinchen looked at the little Tangyuan in his arms. He was wearing three thick layers of red brocade embroidered with little golden dragons in gold thread. He also took off his own little cloak.

In fact, Su Zhenzhen felt that it was inappropriate to bring Xiao Tangyuan to the palace banquet, but Xiao Tangyuan couldn't leave her and Rong Jinchen, so one of them had to be there.

So she originally wanted to stay in the mansion by herself, but her father insisted that she bring Xiao Tangyuan with her.

What does it matter if his precious grandson cries? He's not an outsider. Wanshou is a family feast.

What else can Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen do?

She had no choice but to keep brainwashing Tangyuan in his ear, emphasizing the importance of today's occasion.

Although Tangyuan is a very, very well-behaved baby, she is afraid of accidents.

At this moment, Rong Jinchen was giving milk cake to little Tangyuan, who was enjoying the surrounding scenery with relish, and he stuffed it into his little paw with very skillful movements.

Tangyuan brings his own complementary food.

The three of them were so conspicuous, how could the royal family ministers and female relatives in the hall not notice them?

But who made His Majesty speak in person?

Prince Jin Rong Jinyu and others looked at the little Tangyuan in Rong Jinchen's arms. Although they didn't get along with Rong Jinchen, why was his son so cute?

Yuxue is so cute like a fairy, even hard-hearted people like them can't help but feel soft-hearted.

Prince Jin Rong Jinyu looked at Su Zhenzhen, who was smiling like a flower, then lowered his eyes and took a sip of Henian tribute wine as if nothing had happened. This fourth brother is indeed a love-brained person.

However, five years have passed since Princess Yan's death. Not only has her appearance improved, but she is still as pretty and lively as ever.

Thinking of the open and secret struggles among his wives and concubines in his house, he couldn't help but drink up the wine in the white jade wine jug in his hand.

Inexplicably, he felt a bit angry towards Princess Jin. Who made her not have a biological father like the Prime Minister?

If his princess consort was Su Zhenzhen, the crown prince position would be his now, and the chubby and cute little nephew in Rong Jinchen's arms would also be his son.

Su Qiyang will definitely help him with all his strength.

His father didn't like any of his sons, so why did his father love Su Zhenzhen's son so much?

He was even allowed to attend a palace banquet like the Wanshou Festival!

"Aqiu~" Su Zhenzhen turned sideways and sneezed lightly, covering her head with her sleeve.

"What's wrong? Qingqing, did you catch a cold?" Rong Jinchen was a little worried. "It's okay, maybe someone scolded me." Su Zhenzhen didn't care.

The next part was the presenting of gifts, which was pretty much the same as previous years, except that when little Tangyuan wished Rong Yue a happy birthday, it was so adorable that it made everyone fall in love with him.

The envoys from the surrounding small countries took advantage of the fact that the emperor of the suzerain country was happy and expressed their wish to ask the Qin Dynasty to grant them a divine cow that could give birth to many treasures at one time.

Since it only takes one or two years for the breeding bulls and cows to be introduced to the border areas, and the cows also need time to get pregnant, the surrounding small countries only prepared to take advantage of the Emperor Qin's birthday to request the granting of breeding bulls before they set off.

"Your Majesty, I believe that our great nation is a nation of propriety. The Fusang envoys are sincere and should promote the benevolent and glorious prestige of the Great Qin and demonstrate the magnanimity of the Great Qin Celestial Empire. Therefore, I will bestow a breeding cow upon the Fusang."

"I second your suggestion. Fusang, Luoxiao, and other vassal states are extremely respectful to the Qin Empire and never fail to pay tribute. We should grant them breeding cattle. Wouldn't that mean the world will be united?"

The people in the hall were obviously divided into two groups, one group agreed, and the other group followed Su Qiyang and waited for him to speak.

At times like this, you have to learn to take sides.

Su Zhenzhen was so angry that she almost laughed. What? Just because it was a cow, not a horse, could it be given to a vassal state at will?

She looked at the little glutinous rice dumpling in her arms, then looked at Rong Jinchen. Seeing him nod, Su Zhenzhen prepared to start the performance.

She openly knocked the meat bone out of Xiao Tangyuan's hand. Rong Jinchen whispered in his ear, "Chao Chao, cry quickly."

Little Tangyuan blinked her eyes and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu~" and a few bean-sized tears fell, which was very appropriate. Su Zhenzhen bit her lip and looked at him angrily, "Rong Yuchao, how can you be so willful!" She was so scared that the little Tangyuan's crying became quieter.

Everyone in the hall also looked at them.

Rong Yue couldn't help but put his fist to his lips to block it. He was the emperor and had to be elegant.

"Zhenzhen, what's wrong?" Rong Yue asked her calmly. Su Zhenzhen stood up and replied, "Father, I'm just worried about the food that's wasted every day." Then she looked at the ministers who agreed with her and smiled an extremely affable smile.

"We, the common people of Great Qin, can't even eat meat every day. Chao Chao, the crown prince of Yan, enjoys the people's offerings, yet he is so unreasonable and makes a fuss! He's wasting other people's money!"

Su Zhenzhen burst into tears, "Father, don't you think Chao Chao is very willful?" She was still looking at the group of people openly. Little Tangyuan pointed her finger directly at the group of envoys and ministers, and said angrily in her baby voice: "Bad guys! Daddy said they were trying to steal his flesh!"

Rong Yue couldn't help laughing out loud, and he felt lucky that he covered his mouth with his fist.

The envoys were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks thickened. "Princess Yan! You don't have to be so indirect. Also, the harem of the Great Qin is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You have overstepped your bounds!"

Su Zhenzhen raised the corners of her mouth nonchalantly, not to mention shedding tears, her eyes were not even red, "This envoy from the Fuso Kingdom, do you know who my husband is?" The short envoy with a mustache retorted without thinking, "You are the Princess of Yan, so your husband must be His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan." He was not a fool.

Su Zhenzhen laughed wildly, "I guess you don't want to have any common topics with the former Huns, right?" It feels so good to bully others by taking advantage of your power.
