Chapter 25 So Noisy
"His Majesty must be very happy that Yue'er is back. He used to treat this sister as a treasure." After the Queen finished speaking, she felt that the Queen Mother's face next to her had turned a little cold. She immediately smiled again and said, "I heard that the little princess is very smart and looks like your Majesty." "
Yes, I have seen her." The Queen Mother said lightly.
The Queen felt a little bored, and just helped the Queen Mother to sit down without saying a word. She sat in the position below the Queen Mother.
Over the years, the Queen Mother has always been indifferent to her and didn't like her very much, although she knew that the Queen Mother had never particularly favored any daughter-in-law except for her own two children.
However, she was the Queen Mother, and her father assisted the Emperor to ascend the throne. Even so, the Queen Mother was still cold and indifferent.
This made Queen Lin Rou very unhappy.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" After a report, the Queen stood up immediately.
"Okay, get up!" The Emperor strode into the hall. He stretched out one hand, slightly raised his palm upwards, and in the other hand, he held a little baby.
Behind the Emperor was the eldest princess of the dynasty, Xiao Yue, who was holding a chubby and very cute boy in her hands.
Xiao Yuting followed on the other side of Xiao Yue. Although he was more than half a head taller than Xiao Yue, he was particularly close to the eldest princess. If it weren't for his status, the eldest prince would probably walk on his aunt's arm.
"Ting'er, how disgraceful!" The Queen looked at her son, frowned, and then said: "Go and sit down!"
Xiao Yuting nodded slightly, turned around and found his own seat to sit down.
This Queen Mother has too many rules, which makes his scalp numb every time he sees her.
"Imperial sister-in-law!" Xiao Yue stepped forward and bowed.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yao, their eyes widened.
The beauty is still beautiful, although she has lost the agility of her youth, but she has become more stable, as if she is a plum blossom that stands proudly after experiencing wind and frost, with a slight chill in the fragrance.
It can be said that the eldest princess is more beautiful!
"Well, Yue'er, it's good that you're back!" The Queen responded with a graceful manner and a smile. This face has always been the one she envied!
"Congratulations to your majesty, long live the emperor, congratulations to the eldest princess, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!" In the hall, the cheers were deafening.
"So noisy!" Stretching his waist and kicking his legs, the big devil's anger value rose!
"...Didn't I tell you to stand still? Why are you making so much noise?" Xiao Yin frowned and shouted coldly.
This bunch of idiots, the little girl in his arms was woken up.
The court officials looked at each other, and the next moment, they all stood up quickly, tiptoed back to their respective positions, shrinking their necks, not daring to breathe.
"Your Majesty!" The Queen came forward, stretched out her hand, and said, "Let me hold Xi'er."
"No need, just call the ministers!" Xiao Yin avoided the Queen's hands, turned around and sat on the high seat with the Queen Mother.
The Queen was embarrassed, she turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue was also a little amused. Her brother was still as domineering as ever, just like he doted on her when she was a child, doting on Xi'er!
The banquet began, and poor Xi'er could only be a baby watching the excitement.
"How boring!"
"Well, this wine smells so good!"
"This meat must be delicious! But children can't eat meat!"
Xiao Yin tasted wine and ate food with the courtiers. The greedy little baby Ruoxi had a mouth full of saliva, and could blow a lot of big bubbles.
Xiao Yin's lips suddenly curled up. His niece was so interesting.
Look at her greedy face, unable to eat, and full of resentment. Sigh...
Think about it, in his harem, there are only three sons, and none of them are close to him.
The eldest son is not interesting at all because he is controlled by the queen. He is only 15 years old, but he looks like a 50-year-old.
The second son, he is always wielding swords and sticks. He is 13 years old, but he can't even read a memorial fluently. It makes him so angry that he doesn't even want to look at his second son.
As for the third child...
born to Concubine Zeng, Concubine Zeng Xian, the daughter of the Lord of Wanhua City in the Western Regions, is good at using poison and is known as the Little Poison Lady of the Western Regions. Since she has been eating nectar and flower dew since she was a child, this little poison lady always has the scent of flowers on her body, which can really attract bees and butterflies. When Xiao Yin, who was still a prince, first saw her, he fell in love with her.
Xiao Yin used all his abilities to pursue her.
Concubine Zeng has a bold personality and has always been nicknamed the arrogant concubine. Usually, she can leave the capital as long as she wants and return to Wanhua City whenever she wants. The emperor gave her the privilege and no one dared to stop her.
Thinking of the fact that he had such a concubine in his harem, the emperor raised his eyes and took a look: Oh, it seems that I haven't seen this Concubine Zeng for two months. Maybe she will be able to return from Wanhua City before the New Year.
"How boring! Baby is sleepy again. Oh! This is the full-moon banquet, it's so boring!"
Singing and dancing were being performed in the center of the banquet hall. The court officials were greeting each other and drinking from their glasses. Everyone was a little relaxed, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
The man on the high seat was no good.
Just think about how many people he had killed to get the throne, and you can see how cruel he was.
"Go and present the gifts that the ministers have sent to the little princess, so that the little princess can also know." Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate, and the emperor suddenly raised his hand to stop the singing and dancing performance, and said.
"Your Majesty!" Queen Lin Rou turned her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes full of disbelief.
The corner of the empress dowager's eye twitched. She looked at the emperor and felt that...
the emperor seemed to know something just like her.
Because the singing and dancing were too noisy, Xiao Yao, who was sitting below, did not hear his daughter's voice clearly.
At this time, Xiao Yao was looking at the seats of the officials opposite.
Shangguan Yuanxi was sitting where Shangguan Jinghong should have sat. Next to Shangguan Yuanxi were Hu and Xu Ruzhen, who were serving Shangguan in first-class imperial robes.
That scumbag has been sick recently. Doctors have seen him, but no doctor could tell the symptoms.
Xiao Yao also asked Hongmei to find the doctors who had treated Shangguan Jinghong, but none of them mentioned the general's illness, which made Xiao Yao curious.
This time, she was even more surprised that Shangguan Jinghong was not there.
Xiao Yao called Dong Ju over, gave her a few
instructions, and then let her go. Baby Ruoxi heard what her mother and Dong Ju said through the hustle and bustle.
"Oh, my father, who is sick at home, must have gone to find his mistress. Mother asked Dong Ju to go, but she didn't let her rush in and beat up the couple. What's the point of going? She wants to know so many details. Is she going to write a storybook? Or a pornographic one?"
Xiao Yin almost choked on his wine. He tried for a long time to calm down and swallow the wine in his mouth.
Eunuch Gao waved his hand, and people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over with gifts presented by court officials.
"Master Liu, send a painting and calligraphy by Master Zhang from a hundred years ago!" The eunuch recited the gift list in a shrill voice.
"Open it and let all the ministers enjoy it together!" The emperor waved his hand and said generously.
