Chapter 526 The Sixth Prince is adopted at the palace banquet
The emperor then cast a loving gaze on Jun Moye.
"Aye is here. Has your health improved recently?"
Jun Moye's face was still pale when he heard this.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Emperor. I've been recuperating these days and haven't seen much improvement. However, I'm feeling pretty good today, so I wanted to join in the fun."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan nodded slightly and spoke with a smile.
"Well, you seem to be in good spirits today. From now on, whenever you have the energy, go out and walk around more often. Exercise will also help you recover from your illness."
The Queen Mother also spoke with a smile.
"Yes, Ah Ye, now that you've returned to the Imperial City, if your health permits, the Imperial Grandmother hopes you can come to the palace to chat with her. Originally, I wanted to invite you and your wife to the palace to chat, but considering your health, I gave up. A few days ago, I had a long chat with your wife. You have married a good wife."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye turned his head to look at Su Hanchu, and the tenderness that spread across his face stunned the people around him for a moment.
"Grandmother, you're right. It's my grandson's blessing to marry Chuchu. Ever since I came to the Imperial City, I've always admired her. I've seen countless doctors and taken a lot of medicine. Although the effects aren't very obvious, perhaps being in a familiar place like the Imperial City has made me feel happier. If Grandmother doesn't mind me bothering you, I'll come to pay my respects to you as soon as I feel better."
The Queen saw that both the Emperor and the Queen Mother were so kind to Jun Moye and his wife. Thinking that the Prince's current situation was basically caused by the couple, she felt even more hatred in her heart. However, she maintained the dignity of a queen on her face and reminded them calmly.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time for the palace banquet to begin. If Your Majesty and the Queen Mother like A Ye and his wife, why not summon them to the palace tomorrow to speak?"
Emperor Tianyuan nodded upon hearing this.
"Well, Ah Ye, since you are not feeling well, please sit down. If you are not feeling well, it is okay to leave early."
Jun Moye spoke hurriedly upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."
Emperor Tianyuan then nodded and looked at the people who came to attend the palace banquet.
"My dear ministers, today is the annual New Year's Eve. Let us raise our glasses together and wish our Tianyuan prosperity!"
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their glasses, toasted the emperor, and wished each other a happy new year.
"Congratulations to Tian Yuan for his eternal prosperity. I wish Your Majesty good health, a long and happy life, and may Your Majesty's rule be forever stable and the country peaceful."
Emperor Tianyuan took a sip of wine.
"Then enjoy yourselves, my dear ministers, and don't be shy."
Then he exchanged glances with the Queen.
The queen smiled and spoke.
"Come here, tell us the song and dance."
Soon the court band began to play cheerful music, and the dancers danced gracefully, adding more joyful atmosphere to the banquet.
The ministers and their families ate delicious food, drank fine wine, and tasted various precious fruits and snacks.
They whispered to each other about the joy of the New Year.
The New Year's Eve banquet was so joyful that Concubine Mei spoke at the right time.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, respect you for the rest of my life. As the new year arrives, everything becomes new. I respectfully wish your Majesty good health, a long and prosperous life, and may Your Majesty shine as brightly as the sun and the moon."
Everything is renewed, the sun and the moon shine together. This unique blessing immediately caught the attention of Emperor Tianyuan.
His eyes suddenly turned to Concubine Mei. Time had not erased her beauty, but instead added a bit of mature charm.
He recalled the time they had spent together, especially the hairpin on her head, which seemed somewhat familiar to him. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, as it seemed like he hadn't seen Concubine Mei for a long time.
"As expected of Concubine Mei, this congratulatory message is different from others. She admires her beauty and laughs at the cold wind, and is cold, noble and proud of her peers. I also wish that Concubine Mei will always be as noble and pure as the plum blossom, no matter what era she goes through."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and clinked it with Concubine Mei's.
Mei Fei raised her head and said with sincerity in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve. The Emperor and all the officials are celebrating together, and the whole family is having fun. I would like to take this auspicious day to ask the Emperor for a New Year's grace, so that I can have a new beginning."
In such a good atmosphere, although there was a hint of guilt in his heart, Emperor Tianyuan naturally spoke with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Mei Fei, what do you want?"
Seeing this, Concubine Mei spoke with a guilty look on her face.
"Your Majesty, I know I haven't been able to bear you a child for many years, and I feel deeply guilty. A few days ago, I accidentally ran into the Sixth Prince in the Imperial Garden. He didn't even have a eunuch to serve him, his clothes were a little worn, and he was thin. As your concubine, I haven't been able to take care of your children. I feel guilty towards you and also distressed for the Sixth Prince. I dare to ask Your Majesty to adopt the Sixth Prince into my family, so that I can have the opportunity to make up for this regret and do something for Your Majesty."
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly spoke with a proper smile on her face.
"Concubine Mei's intentions are good, but the Sixth Prince will be able to come of age and have his own residence in a year or two. Isn't it a little too late for him to have a foster mother now?"
Seeing this, the Sixth Prince stood up respectfully.
"Father, Mother, I am indeed approaching adulthood, but I am naturally ignorant and don't know much. If I had a mother to teach me and give me some advice, it would be a great blessing."
Then he looked at Concubine Mei and bowed respectfully.
"It is my honor to receive the care of the Concubine Mei. I will certainly be filial to my father, the emperor, the queen mother, and the Concubine Mei in the future."
Seeing this, Jun Moye spoke at the right time.
"Uncle Emperor, the Sixth Prince has been to the Bai Residence several times, and every time I see him, he's always wearing the same two sets of clothes. It's clearly winter, but he's so lightly dressed. Ah Ye thinks it would be great if the Sixth Prince had a mother to take care of him. Not to mention teaching him to excel, at least someone would care about his food, clothing, daily life, and studies."
