Chapter 210: Feeling Proud
After hearing what General Cheng said, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Qin, whose expression was about to collapse, and curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
"Lord Qin is truly a good parent. He should be a role model for everyone to follow."
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qin in front of him seriously, but he felt very contemptuous in his heart.
When Chen'er was exiled, he insisted on marrying the unfavored daughter to him, but he gained a good reputation for it.
Looking at his constipated face, he probably had no idea that his daughter took away so much dowry.
This can be considered as shooting oneself in the foot, which is really satisfying to watch.
If he had not produced the evidence of Chen'er's so-called rebellion, he would not have been forced to exile his most proud son to a cold and bitter place.
Xiaohua has ignored me until now. It has been almost a year and I have never entered her yard.
Hearing the emperor's praise, Prime Minister Qin almost vomited blood.
He is a good parent. If he is, that damn girl wouldn't have emptied his treasury and given the money to someone else.
After her mother died, all her dowry had been put into the treasury by herself. This dead girl didn't have much monthly salary, so how could she have saved so much?
Although he couldn't figure out how that dead girl stole the gold, he was sure that the gold was taken away by that dead girl, otherwise she wouldn't have spent millions of taels of silver in one go.
Even though she was about to explode with anger, she had to hold it in for now and saluted the emperor with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply ashamed to accept your compliments!"
Seeing Prime Minister Qin secretly angry and depressed, the Emperor and General Cheng looked at each other and saw pride in each other's eyes.
"What time is it?" The emperor looked at Eunuch Li beside him with interest.
I had no interest in tonight's dinner. There had been drought for two consecutive years and the treasury was empty. There was really nothing to be happy about.
But at this moment, knowing that the people in Qingzhou Prefecture were spending the New Year peacefully, my mood suddenly improved.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Eunuch Li also smiled happily.
"Your Majesty, it's almost evening. The Queen has already sent someone to urge us twice."
Eunuch Li pointed outside. Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to mention this matter.
"Oh, then what are we waiting for! My dear friends, let's go now!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked ahead. His light steps seemed to have taken him back to twenty years ago.
Just by looking at his back, one could feel that the emperor was in a good mood today, and General Cheng also followed happily behind him.
Marquis Yongning stared at Prime Minister Qin again and again, with a look that said, "You have raised a good daughter."
“…………” Prime Minister Qin frowned.
I feel so depressed that I can't even describe it. Just now, only my big tooth was hurting, but now all my teeth are hurting.
As soon as they walked out of the imperial study, the emperor stopped.
"Go tell Concubine Jing the good news."
As he spoke happily, he pointed to the courtyard in the direction of Concubine Jing.
Xiaohua was angry with me because of Chen'er's matter and didn't go out for a whole year. Now that she heard the good news, she might be so happy that she won't be angry with me anymore.
Then I can live in her yard like before.
Seeing the emperor's uncontrollable joy on his face, Eunuch Li was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Jing has gone to the palace banquet."
"Oh, good!" The emperor looked happy.
He glanced at Eunuch Li and hurried to the front hall in big strides.
I think Xiaohua should have heard the news, otherwise how could she leave the yard? I haven't seen her for a year and I miss her so much.
Seeing that the emperor wished he could grow wings and fly to the front hall, the people behind him quickened their pace without saying a word.
As soon as he arrived at the palace banquet, he saw Xiaohua, whom he hadn't seen for a year, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
He didn't even bother to nod when the ministers beside him greeted him, and ran straight to Concubine Jing.
"My dear, how are you feeling lately?"
Looking at the little flower in front of him, the emperor rubbed his hands with joy and almost hugged her and kissed her twice.
I haven't seen her for a year, but she's still so charming.
Concubine Jing, who had originally had a happy expression on her face, suddenly became gloomy after seeing the emperor.
But she still stood up and bowed towards him.
"Your Majesty!"
He seemed respectful on the surface, but his eyes were twitching.
If I wasn't in a good mood today, I wouldn't bother with him.
"My beloved, please stand up!"
Although he was glared at several times, the emperor was still very happy at this moment. He was about to get closer to Concubine Jing when he heard the queen's voice.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Please take a seat!"
The queen suppressed her displeasure and ignored everything else when she saw the vixen. After all, the ministers' families were there, so she was not afraid of losing her status.
"Oh, okay!"
The emperor nodded, then realized that the occasion was not right. He straightened his posture and slowly walked to the queen's side and sat down.
His eyes were indeed glued to Concubine Jing, as if he was afraid that she would fly away.
Seeing the Queen looking at her with her eyes almost popping out, Concubine Jing didn't care at all, because she was in a good mood today.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Nanny Su beside him with a smile.
"Mammy, it's so boring to just sit here. Hurry up and bring me the food that Chen'er and Chuchu sent me."
"Yes, I'll get it right away!"
Nanny Su smiled and nodded, taking a bag of popcorn from the palace maid behind her.
As soon as the bag was opened, the rich aroma of chocolate milk spread around, causing the palace maids and eunuchs to sniff.
He secretly glanced at the popcorn in Concubine Jing's hand. He didn't know what it was and why it smelled so good.
Seeing the people around her secretly looking at the things in her hands, Concubine Jing was in an extremely good mood.
He casually grabbed a handful and handed it to Nanny Su.
"Mammy, this tastes better than what we had before. If you don't believe me, try it!"
Although she wanted to piss these people off on purpose, she had to admit that this chocolate-flavored food was really fragrant and very much to her liking.
Seeing the Empress so happy, Nanny Su's face wrinkled with laughter, and she hurriedly took it with both hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After saying this, he put one in his mouth and his eyes lit up instantly.
"It's true, this one is much more fragrant than the original one!"
Seeing the master and servant eating with such enjoyment, the people around them kept looking over here, wondering what was in Concubine Jing's hand, but it seemed to be delicious.
Especially the most greedy Concubine Wan, who was trying to control herself at first, but the fragrance kept drilling into her nose and she really couldn't control herself anymore.
"Sister Jingfei, I wonder where you bought the food in your hand? Why does it smell so delicious?"
She pointed at the popcorn in Concubine Jing's hand and swallowed uncontrollably.
This was exactly the feeling Concubine Jing wanted. After hearing what she said, she generously grabbed a handful and handed it over.
"Sister Wan, this is something Chen'er and my daughter-in-law sent over from Jibei. They said it's called popcorn. This one has a flavor of something or other."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him and felt so happy.
Damn it! I'm finally proud of myself!
