Chapter 288: Palace Banquet



Nangong Jiu smiled and nodded.

"That's right, I'm going to have a little brother again!"

The whole family was so happy, and the old man was so happy that he put his hands together and bowed to the sky.

"Haha... Great! My Nangong family is blessed with many happy events and a thriving population!"

Liu Hao smiled and picked up the little guy again.

"Let's go, let's go into the palace!"

On the way into the palace, the carriage deliberately slowed down.

The family's four carriages happily entered the palace gate and then separated. The women went to Kunning Palace, and the men went to the Imperial Study.

Kunning Palace.

Nanny Chen was waiting at the gate of Kunning Palace. When she saw the group of people, she hurried forward to greet them.

"Princess, princess, ladies, please come in. Her Majesty is waiting."

"Thank you, Aunt Chen!"

Nangong Jiu held Chu Ruoyan's hand and slowly walked into the hall.

"Grandmother, we are here!"

"Okay, okay, come and sit down!"

After everyone took their seats and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Empress Chen waved to Nangong Jiu and said, "Come here, Grandmother. Grandmother has something to tell you."

Nangong Jiu ran forward in a few steps, climbed onto Queen Chen's chair, sat down, and raised his little head.

"You go ahead and talk. Jiu'er is listening."

Queen Chen lowered her voice and whispered a few words into Nangong Jiu's ear.

Nangong Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?"

"Really? Wait a minute, take a closer look!"

"No problem, leave it to me!" Nangong Jiuru nodded continuously like a chick pecking at rice.

"Grandmother, has the matter with Li Qingya been dealt with?"

"It's been handled! Your uncle was busy dealing with the Guo family's affairs those days and had no time to deal with her. I didn't expect her to take the initiative to find your uncle.

She said that your uncle hadn't visited her for a long time, and she was worried that something had happened to your uncle, so she came to see him.

Not only did she block the Prince's residence, she even waited at the palace gate, angering your uncle. Just tell her straight away."

"Then what?"

"Then, Li Qingya gave all sorts of explanations, saying that she had long admired your uncle and that was why she did that. She even knelt down and begged for your uncle's forgiveness."

"The emperor's uncle didn't forgive her, did he?"

"After seeing her true face, how could I possibly forgive her!

The lady here tonight is Yang Jiaying.

She has known your uncle since childhood, and later went to other places with her parents. Now her father has been transferred back to Beijing to take up a post, so she naturally followed him back.

Your uncle has already met her, and their current relationship is just that of old acquaintances. He is waiting for your help to see what kind of person she is before we discuss other things.

Jiuer, they haven't seen each other for a few years, so I don't know what the young lady's character is like now. You should take a closer look. The people around your uncle must be of good character."

"Okay! Leave this to me. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings and give you an answer."

After talking about the business, everyone started chatting again.

A palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the palace banquet is about to begin!"

Empress Chen stood up and said, "Let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Empress Chen held Nangong Jiu's hand and did not let go until they reached the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Go to your seats with your father and mother first. Wait a moment, the Empress Dowager will have someone show you."

"good!"

After sitting down at his seat, Nangong Jiu looked around curiously, trying to find the Yang family.

As a result, I saw many unfamiliar faces.

"Dad, Mom, it seems like there are a lot more strangers at this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet."

"There are some people you haven't met. Your royal grandfather summoned some officials who were sent out to report back to the capital."

"oh!"

"Do you know the Yang family?"

"The Yang family? The Yang Shouli family who were just transferred back to Beijing?"

"Maybe."

Liu Hao raised his hand in confusion and pointed: "Look at the family sitting in the middle. The older one is Yang Shouli."

Nangong Jiu followed Liu Hao's hand and looked over, his gaze resting on the only young lady in the family.

It seems that she must be Yang Jiaying.

She was a good-looking girl, sitting there quietly. Her mother seemed to be saying something to her, and a faint smile appeared on her face from time to time.

Well, she looks gentle and quiet, which seems to be the case. But I wonder if her inner self is the same as her appearance?

Nangong Jiu was just about to send out a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to investigate.

At this time, a palace maid beside Queen Chen specially brought a large plate of chicken legs to Nangong Jiu and Xiao Wang Xiaoxing.

He whispered a few words into Nangong Jiu's ear and pointed towards where Yang Jiaying was.

Nangong Jiu nodded to show that he understood, and the palace maid left.

After confirming her identity, Nangong Jiu directly separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and probed into Yang Jiaying's sea of ​​consciousness, then retracted it after a moment.

Not bad, no bad words or actions!

Moreover, she had feelings for the emperor's uncle but dared not express them, so she rejected many people who came to propose marriage and was scolded by many of her parents.

This is a good thing for the emperor's uncle!

The mission is half completed.

Nangong Jiuyi was so happy that he picked up the chicken leg and started to eat it. Empress Chen, who was sitting on the upper throne, was very happy to see this.

As the banquet entered its latter half, after Emperor Dongling and Empress Chen left, Nangong Jiu urged Liu Hao, "Daddy, let's go too!"

The family left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"You guys go back home first, we still have things to do." Nangong Jiu waved goodbye and left with Xiao Wang Xiaoxing.

Liu Hao looked at Nangong Yunxue in confusion: "Jiu'er is a little strange tonight."

"Before the banquet began, the Queen Mother whispered to her for a while. I guess she had something to ask her to do."

I see.

Thinking of her asking about the Yang family, he secretly stared at Miss Yang from time to time.
