Song Qianfan was indeed annoyed at this time. This white deer was in accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor would not be displeased and would certainly give him a lot of rewards, but his most important purpose was to use this opportunity to reinstate his position.
But the emperor at this time obviously did not have this intention.
The Minister of Personnel was also stunned. If His Majesty was pleased, he would definitely reinstate the Crown Prince. But now, there was nothing else except some gold and silver rewards.
It is really difficult to find this fairy deer. The gap is too big.
Su Juan looked at the scene in front of her with amusement. Song Qianfan must be so angry that he must be dying.
[I originally wanted to use this deer to get my job back, but now I am stuck in the middle. How pitiful.]
[But this deer looks really good. It's beautiful. ]
Everyone felt sympathy when they heard this. It was not easy for Prince Jing. He took the trouble to attract such a deer, but only got some money in return. The Prince Jing's Mansion did not need such money.
Your Majesty is extremely disappointed in him. He is not as good as the landscape jade bottle owned by Song Lao Er from Prince Jing's Mansion.
Prince Jing looked disappointed. If he didn't understand his son's thoughts before, how could he not understand them now? What he wanted was too big, so big that the entire Prince Jing's Mansion could not afford it.
I thought he would be more restrained after reflecting on his mistakes in seclusion in the mansion, but now he is obsessed with winning the emperor's heart to seek his future.
He was extremely disappointed that he didn't follow the right path but was instead focusing on these unorthodox ways.
At this moment, the queen, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "Your Majesty, I like this deer very much and feel that we are destined to be together. I wonder if Your Majesty could give the deer to me?"
The old emperor was slightly stunned. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since the queen asked him for something like this.
It seemed like nothing happened since the time their daughter went missing.
The court officials below were all silent, but their ears perked up. How could such an auspicious sign be passed on to others?
But when the queen spoke, the emperor's heart softened. He no longer cared about any auspicious signs. It was a rare occasion for the queen to want something, let alone a white deer. How could he not give her anything she wanted?
"Since the Queen likes it, let her keep the deer."
At this time, the old emperor's mood improved significantly.
The court officials were shocked. For the past ten years or so, there had been rumors in the palace that the emperor and empress had a bad relationship, so much so that all the court officials believed so. But now it seemed that even such an auspicious animal as a fairy deer could be raised by the empress. How could this mean that their relationship was not good?
Song Qianfan looked up suddenly and saw that the fairy deer that he had found with so much difficulty was given to the empress by the emperor with just a few words, as casually as an ordinary pet.
At this point, he seemed like a joke.
Su Juan was surprised. The Queen's move was simply a slap in the face of Song Qianfan. She had been keeping a low profile for many years, so why was she targeting Song Qianfan so much?
In fact, the queen did intend to slap him in the face in front of all the ministers. The prince of Prince Jing's Mansion was really a bastard. Her own children were so good, but he treated them like that.
Song Qianfan's face looked extremely ugly, and he couldn't understand when he had offended the Queen.
The Minister of Personnel sighed heavily. Well, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as the King of Han doesn't please him, it's fine.
Duke Ping was relieved. He was really worried that the Queen would not be able to hold back. Fortunately, he only asked for a deer. Others would at most think that Song Qianfan had offended the Queen, or that the Queen really liked it and asked for it. They would not associate it with Su Juan.
Even though she wanted to vent her anger for her granddaughter, this move was too reckless.
The Queen's gaze lingered briefly on Su Juan. She wanted to look at her a few more times, but was afraid of attracting other people's attention.
She was so happy and satisfied to see her granddaughter that she even wondered what it would be like if her daughter were still alive.
She whispered to the palace servants around her, "The girls can't drink much, go prepare a few bowls of hangover soup and some food, and have them take them away when the girls return home..."
The palace maid responded and hurried to prepare.
The emperor was still immersed in the emotion of the queen bowing her head to ask for something from him just now. Seeing her arrange things so well, he smiled and said, "After all, the queen is more thoughtful."
The queen laughed softly, "This is all for the good of the girls. It would be bad if they got drunk and lost their composure."
The emperor was satisfied. After all, these girls looked weak and frail, but they were really scary when they were drunk, like a different person. But he couldn't beat them.
The sobering soup was served to the girls. When Su Juan heard that it was prepared by the Queen, she was obviously stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked around and saw that other girls also had it. Only then did she feel relieved.
She was so scared that she thought the queen knew about it.
...
The birthday banquet was over, the court officials left, and the palace servants carried food boxes and delivered them to the girls one by one.
Seeing that everyone else had some, Su Juan took it with peace of mind. [The Queen is really kind-hearted. She was worried that the female relatives would not have enough to eat, so she even prepared food boxes. ]
She took a look at the food in the box, smiling, "These are all my favorites."
Hearing this, Liu Miaoqing also took a look at the food box in her hand. It was indeed the flavors that Su Juan liked to eat, but for others, they were too sweet.
In previous years, there were also female relatives present at the banquet, and many people drank, but the Queen had never been seen preparing like this.
The sobering soup and this food box were probably prepared for Su Juan alone.
I had heard before that the Queen liked Su Juan very much and had summoned her several times, but later on I never heard Su Juan mention the Queen. I thought the rumors were too exaggerated. But now it seems that the Queen not only likes Su Juan, she clearly favors her.
I'm afraid that when I asked His Majesty for the fairy deer at the banquet just now, I simply intended to embarrass Song Qianfan. Otherwise, there would be no need to do it in front of so many court officials. I could have waited until the banquet was over and then asked His Majesty for it in private.
Xie Xun glanced at the food box in Su Juan's hand and waved his fan, "It's really unfair, how come only you have food boxes, but we don't?"
Her Majesty the Queen is biased.
Duke Ping slapped Xie Xun on the back of his head and said, "If I had known what you were thinking, I would have made you a girl when you were born, so that you would not have to fight for fairness with other girls now."
He doesn't feel ashamed to keep mumbling something all day long.
Xie Xun touched the back of his head. The old man was really vicious.
Su Juan was excited, [Girl!?]
Xie Xun looked at her, not knowing what Su Juan was so excited about.
Everyone looked at Su Juan, not knowing what she was so excited about. The next second, Su Juan squinted her eyes and looked at Xie Xun:
[Given Xie Xun's entire female body, wearing a floral dress would be so appropriate, but why is he a man? What a pity. ]
[Without the most beautiful woman, the Jin Dynasty suffered a heavy loss. 】
Xie Xun’s face turned dark: “…” You are the one wearing a floral dress, your whole family wears floral dresses!
Many people immediately looked at Xie Xun. It was true that Xie Xun looked so fancy and wore fancy clothes every day, so a floral dress was really suitable for him.
Xie Xun was angry: What are you looking at? Be careful or I will dig out your dog eyes!
