Chapter 26 The Emperor Has Already Made a Murderous Intention
Baby Ruoxi is complaining.
She said, "My uncle is a little silly. If all the gifts are shown, wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone gave a cheap gift? Besides, how boring it would be!" So
, when the court officials learned that the Taifu had given a priceless calligraphy and painting, they all stretched their necks and their eyes lit up.
"It's the original work of Master Zhang. The Taifu is really generous. This is priceless and hard to find!"
"When did Taifu Liu become so generous?" Just
when the court officials were staring at it, His Majesty the Emperor unnoticeably had the scroll opened, allowing everyone to see the priceless treasure presented by the Taifu.
A hundred years ago, the original work left by the Taoist master was a great honor for everyone to see.
So, everyone stretched their necks to look over.
Even baby Ruoxi followed the sound, blinked her little mouth, and turned her head to look at the scroll.
"Your Majesty, the little princess is also very curious, why not let her take a look?" The queen was really bored sitting there, she turned her head and saw the little girl in the cradle stretching her neck, she immediately smiled and said.
"Hey, this is an authentic work, I wonder if it has spiritual power, if it does, let me touch it!" Baby Ruoxi turned her head, her face full of anticipation.
"Gao Sheng, present the scroll!" The queen mother looked at the little granddaughter's appearance, thinking about the way her granddaughter touched her bracelet before, she also shouted to Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao presented the scroll, the emperor took it, he took out little Ruoxi's little hand and placed it on the scroll.
"Spiritual power, spiritual power, as expected, these valuable treasures can increase my spiritual power, good, good, I like them!" Baby Ruoxi expressed her satisfaction.
Then, the gifts of several ministers were presented one by one.
It was rare for the royal family to hold such a grand banquet, and it was the full-moon banquet of the little princess. Moreover, the queen mother had not revealed the news before, so the court officials had limited time to prepare gifts. These people have been observing the words and expressions in the court for many years. After experiencing the struggle for the throne, they can still stand here steadily. None of them is easy to deal with.
Therefore, they knew the grandeur of this full-moon banquet, and almost everyone gave precious objects.
When the emperor took down the scroll of Master Liu, he called Eunuch Gao and whispered something to him. Eunuch Gao understood immediately and turned around and ran to the door of the main hall to give some instructions. There were
a lot of gifts. After looking at some, the rest were taken down.
The gifts were arranged from high to low positions, so the officials at the back didn't have to worry about their gifts looking cheap.
During the halftime break, everyone went to the Yu Garden to appreciate the flowers.
This banquet started before noon. Now that the sun was setting, everyone was able to come out for some fresh air. It was the back garden, so everyone was in high spirits.
If Baobao took another nap in the main hall.
Before falling asleep, she saw the prime minister.
At that time, the night-shining pearl presented by the prime minister made her eyes light up, and in order to make the emperor look at her father with new eyes, the queen deliberately let her father go out.
The queen may not know that it was this trip that put her father in danger.
"Full of evil spirit, this is the prime minister? Oh, no wonder my uncle will be destroyed in three years, it turns out that the important minister is a person full of evil spirit!" Baby Ruoxi sighed and continued to wake up: "Historical records say that because of the struggle for the throne, the people's taxes in Wei Dynasty increased, and many families could not even eat. There was almost a situation of starving people all over the ground. However, this prime minister... after Wei Dynasty was destroyed, he took a million taels of gold to surrender to the enemy!"
The emperor was in a bad mood, and he just let people take out the gifts at the back and took them away.
No one knew that it was at this banquet that the emperor, who was calm at this time, had already had murderous intentions.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and said to the Emperor, "Emperor, Xi'er has fallen asleep. Let me hold her. You and the ministers have a couple of drinks. It's a rare sight!" The
Queen Mother was also heavy-hearted.
Her son's father-in-law, the father-in-law of the emperor, the Prime Minister, would be the first to rebel in the future. So, the Prime Minister had already had a conspiracy.
After the Emperor drank a few glasses of wine, he ordered everyone to go to the Yu Garden to appreciate the flowers first, and the banquet entered a free stage.
From this moment until dark, they didn't have to return to the banquet hall, and the Emperor would not show up again without reason.
This kind of royal banquet is also called a blind date banquet.
The families of each family would bring out their adult children to talk to each other. If they were not engaged and they were attracted to each other, they could go back and walk around, and it would be settled.
Many officials also took the opportunity to curry favor with those who should be currying favor, and to flatter those who should be flattered, taking advantage of their abilities after a few glasses of wine, and each worked hard for themselves.
"Princess, it's bad, the young master has been bullied!" Someone came in a hurry.
"Huh?" Xiao Jian was in the Yu Garden, chatting with Liu Rushi, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. It was only half a minute, and Lin'er was in trouble?
Xiao Jian and Liu Rushi turned around and ran over with the palace maid.
Hongmei had already gone over first. Just now, because the young master wanted to drink water, she asked the young master to sit on the swing and not move, and she went to get him some water. Who knew that the young master was beaten.
"Tell me, who started it first?" Hongmei shouted coldly.
"Hmph, what right do you have to scold me? You are just a dog of our general's mansion!" A child's voice, but with a full of savage breath, made many people turn their heads to look.
"You..." Hongmei was angry and gritted her teeth.
"Bang!"
With a sound of hitting, Shangguan Yuanxi fell to the ground, and then Xiao Ruilin rushed forward. Although he was shorter, younger and smaller than Shangguan Yuanxi, he was very strong. He punched Shangguan Yuanxi one by one, making Shangguan Yuanxi hold his head and scream.
"What's the matter? You, you stupid... little prince, are you crazy?" With a sharp scolding, Xu Ruzhen rushed over, grabbed Xiao Ruilin and threw him away.
Hongmei caught the young master and said coldly: "It was the second young master who started it first, he deserves to be beaten!"
"What did you say?" Xu Ruzhen looked at her son with a bruised face and nose, who had long lost his mind. She turned around, raised her hand and slapped Hongmei: "Who are you to dare to talk to me like this?"
Everyone around was stunned.
"Isn't this the daughter of Minister Xu? She was better before, but she had a bad temper. Why is she like a country woman now?"
"She actually dared to hit Hongmei. Haha, this lady's status is only second to Nanny Jin!"
Some people sighed, some wanted to see the show, and some turned their heads to look the other way.
"What's going on?" Xiao Jian came forward and asked coldly.
