After the emperor finished his formal remarks, Eunuch Cao said loudly, "Now please begin your congratulatory speeches."
Yu Yiluo blinked her big eyes.
【Huh, there's actually this part. 】
The palace maids serving in the hall collected all the congratulatory messages and presented them to Eunuch Cao, who then presented them to the emperor.
The emperor randomly picked up a few books and read through them, then said to Eunuch Cao, "Present the congratulatory message I wrote for Luo'er."
The adults whose congratulatory messages were read out were originally smiling, but after hearing what was said, they realized that the emperor's real intention was not with their congratulatory messages, but to show off the congratulatory message he had written for the little princess.
After Eunuch Cao brought the emperor's written congratulatory message and spread it out in front of the emperor, the emperor picked up the red brush, dipped it in ink and handed it to Concubine Xian.
"Princess Xian, please also write a congratulatory message for Luo'er."
The concubines below almost bit their teeth when they saw this. The clothes on the little princess were obviously embroidered with kesi silk, which made them jealous. They didn't expect that she had asked the ministers to write congratulatory messages just now.
A one-year-old princess actually received such a blessing from heaven. Empress Xian was so lucky.
Tian Lan sat next to Concubine Shu, watching the changes in the concubines around her, feeling confused.
It's just writing a few words, why are these people so angry?
Empress Xian took the pen and wrote her congratulatory message on it with a flick of her sleeve. Yu Yiluo curiously stuck her head out to take a look, but she didn't expect that the message had already been picked up by the emperor.
"May my son's wishes come true and all his wishes be granted."
After saying that, he looked at Empress Xian.
"I only wish Luo'er to be happy and peaceful forever."
Their congratulatory messages were very simple, not the kind of wishes full of expectations. They just sincerely hoped that their child would be happy.
The Fourth Prince stretched his neck and whispered to the Third Prince, "Fortunately, Father didn't blame us."
He didn't know what to write, and everything he wrote was almost the same, so he just wrote a few sentences casually.
The Third Prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "What did you write?"
The Fourth Prince touched his nose and said, "Of course it's a blessing."
The emperor had already rolled up the congratulatory message and handed it to Eunuch Cao, "Frame this calligraphy and send it to Concubine Xian."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upon seeing this, the ministers below congratulated her, and the female members of the family also naturally congratulated Empress Xian.
The Fourth Prince thought that the congratulatory speech had been read and that the banquet with singing and dancing would begin next, but he did not expect the Emperor to look at him and then give instructions to Eunuch Cao.
"Read the congratulatory message from the Fourth Prince to the little princess."
The fourth prince's heart skipped a beat. Shouldn't his father be thinking of his brother, the Crown Prince? Why was he thinking of him instead?
Eunuch Cao took out the Fourth Prince's congratulatory message, flipped it open, and looked a little hesitant after reading the words on it.
This made everyone below and Yu Yiluo curious.
What on earth did Fourth Brother write? Why does Eunuch Cao have that expression?
The emperor took a look and said, "The fourth brother's handwriting has improved a lot. I am very pleased."
Knowing that the emperor meant it was okay to read, Eunuch Cao said loudly, "The Fourth Prince wrote this congratulatory message for the little princess, wishing her a long and healthy life with lots of energy and happiness."
[It rhymes quite well. I like this blessing of prosperity.]
Concubine Shu said softly from the first seat below, "Although the Fourth Prince's congratulations are simple, they are also the most difficult to achieve."
Upon seeing this, Concubine Chen quickly agreed, "Yes, I heard that many of the sisters have been unwell in recent days. I hope everyone will be in good health after the little princess's first birthday ceremony."
As soon as these words were spoken, the lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle, and some people were already cursing Concubine Chen in their hearts for being tactless.
What day is it today? She actually brought up this matter so thoughtlessly. Wouldn't this bring bad luck to the little princess's first birthday?
When everyone was silent, King Liang spoke loudly.
"I heard that the ladies in the harem are ill because of an evil spirit. I wonder if the Supervisor can tell who this evil spirit is by observing the celestial phenomena?"
Luo Ji stood up and said, "Prince Liang, you are wrong. I am an astronomical observer, not a Taoist priest. Besides, the Emperor is here. With the Emperor's true dragon aura, what evildoer would dare to offend me?"
Yan Fan was so shocked by his words that he sat down with a wave of his sleeves.
[Huh, it's been so long and Yan Fan still hasn't found someone to replace Yan Min'er. How pathetic!]
At this time, a concubine heard the word "monster" and accidentally knocked over the teacup.
She began to tremble, huddled into a ball, and muttered to herself:
"There are evil spirits, evil spirits."
Some of the timid women turned pale and felt a little cold after hearing this.
"evildoer?"
The emperor scolded with a sullen face, "Where is the evildoer? Who is the evildoer?"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, not daring to breathe.
Everyone could see how much the emperor cared about the little princess's first birthday gift, but there were some short-sighted people who spoiled the fun.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Zhou Cainv has gone insane. Since Miss Tian is from the Divine Doctor Valley, why not let her take a look at Zhou Cainv?"
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced sideways at Concubine Shu who was speaking.
Before the emperor could speak, Zhou Cainv stood up and staggered to the center of the hall, pointing at Yu Yiluo with a look of horror.
"Monster, she is a monster."
"Ms. Zhou, stop talking nonsense."
Concubine Shu scolded the crazy Zhou Cainv.
Zhou Cainu's personal maid came forward, knelt tremblingly on the ground, and cried:
"Your Majesty, all the ladies in the harem are sick, except for Concubine Xian and a few others. Please help me with this."
"What a pitiful thing," Concubine Shu sighed.
I thought that with Zhou Cainv taking the lead, others would follow suit, but Concubine Shu didn't hear anyone agreeing for a long time.
She lowered her eyes. When she invited people to appreciate the flowers that day, she had deliberately arranged for a few timid ones to sit in the front, so their symptoms were more serious.
Logically speaking, everyone should be convinced that it was an evil spirit causing trouble, so why are they not moving at all?
Xiao Shize also felt strange. Everything was normal at the Imperial Hospital and nothing had gone wrong. What had he overlooked?
【Hey, has the show started yet? 】
[Zhou Cainu's acting is terrible. Even when she's so scared, her goal is still so clear.]
At this moment, Zhou Cainv in the center of the hall curled up her hands hanging in her sleeves. All of them were sick, except Concubine Xian and a few others who were fine. Was it really a coincidence?
Since Concubine Xian and others are so unsatisfied despite being favored by the emperor, then don't blame her, the barefoot one.
The few people who could hear the inner voice were a little worried at first, but after hearing Yu Yiluo's next words, they relaxed and watched the show.
"Your Majesty," Concubine Shu said, seeing no one joining in, "Today is the little princess's first birthday. We cannot let this person's words cause the little princess to be branded as a monster."
Her words seemed to be for Yu Yiluo's own good, but in fact, she was forcing the emperor to prove Yu Yiluo's innocence.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the people from the Divine Doctor Valley treated the empresses but still could not get any results. This is indeed suspicious."
Yan Fan, who finally had a chance to speak, stood up and said, "The little princess is a precious girl, and she must not bear this stigma."
"Monster, monster," Zhou Cainv continued to mutter, her eyes filled with fear, "The little princess is a monster."
