Chapter 373 The Prime Minister's Gifts Are Too Many

The Queen immediately stood up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

The entire banquet was silent, and everyone looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's words just now clearly showed that she was angry. She was angry that the Queen Mother did not take her seriously, and that things in the harem were done without her consent.

"Mother, please calm down. I was thinking that you were not feeling well, and that the Crown Princess had been in your palace recently, and you were very tired, so I made the decision myself!" said the Queen.

"What are you doing? Everyone is watching. Do you want everyone to think that I have treated your daughter-in-law harshly and that I am partial to you?" After the empress dowager finished speaking, she bent down and dragged the empress's hand, saying, "Get up. You have just come out of confinement. If you are so exhausted, I am afraid that the emperor will be distressed later."

"..." The empress lowered her head, not knowing how to respond to the empress dowager's words. With the empress dowager's pretended enthusiasm to help her, she had to stand up.

"Okay, let's start the banquet!" The emperor was also a little unhappy. He turned his head and ordered lightly.

Baby Ruoxi looked at the empress, and then at Huang Lide in the court. Seeing that his right shoulder was bulging, she knew that this man was bandaged, but he didn't want others to know.

So, baby Ruoxi raised her mouth and pinched her hands.

A stream of mysterious energy quickly rushed towards Huang Lide's shoulder.

"Hiss!" Huang Lide's whole body sank down, and he was shocked. This was the trick of that little girl again. How could this girl be so powerful?

I underestimated her last time!

"What's wrong? Is General Huang injured?" someone asked.

"Some time ago, General Huang was slapped by the princess in the court. Could it be that he was so useless that his shoulder was broken?" Yuan Hui said on the side. "

That's not the case. I just feel a little unwell recently. How could I be hurt by the little princess? The little princess is cute and smart, and she will definitely not hurt anyone." Huang Lide didn't dare to say that his shoulder was broken by the little girl, which caused him to have almost no feeling in his right hand for more than ten days.

If all the civil and military officials knew about this, they would surely laugh their heads off.

He was hurt by the little princess in public. He was so useless that the emperor could easily dismiss him.

Besides, being hurt by a little girl was quite embarrassing for him.

He didn't say anything at the time. He couldn't say that it was the little girl who hurt him later!

Thinking of this, Huang Lide became angrier.

"Yeah!" Baby Ruoxi nodded to Huang Lide and spared him this time.

The banquet began, and everyone gave gifts to the empress and the little princess.

As the grandfather of the prime minister's family, they naturally gave the most luxurious gifts.

"Three hundred pieces of silk, three sets of pure gold head ornaments, a pair of mutton-fat white jade pendants..." When the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs counted the gifts, the whole scene was in an uproar.

"This is too much!"

"This is much more extravagant than when the empress was in the palace and gave birth to the eldest prince!"

"Of course, it's different!"

"Back then, the eldest prince was just the prince, and besides, he wasn't very favored!"

Everyone was talking in a low voice. Everyone knew that, in fact, Lin Rou was not liked by his parents at the beginning, otherwise she would not have married the fourth prince Xiao Yin who was not favored at the time. As

for the throne later, Xiao Yin really got it by accident.

"The prime minister is probably trying to compete with the emperor!"

"I wonder if the prime minister has any plans recently. It seems that he is not too afraid of the royal family. I'm afraid..."

Everyone whispered and looked at the emperor together.

Baby Ruoxi looked at this scene, looked at the pile of gifts, and looked at Liu Rushi.

"He is just a prime minister, but he is so rich. It seems that his family needs to be thoroughly investigated, just like the former Minister of Personnel! At this time, being arrogant and high-profile is not a good thing."

After such a long time of contact with baby Ruoxi, Liu Rushi seemed to understand what the baby meant.

No, she understood with just one look from the baby. She stood up and walked slowly to the boxes of gifts with a smile on her lips.

"This gift is a bit expensive, Prime Minister. Your family is so rich. Which young master did something to earn it, or is the family very rich?" Liu Rushi said in a sinister tone.

Without saying it, the people present only whispered in private.

Once it was said, everyone would be shocked.

"Miss Liu, you can't say that. The sons of the prime ministers are all officials in the court. They all get salaries." Someone agreed. "

Oh, they get salaries, which means that the salaries are quite high." Liu Rushi tilted her head to look at the gifts and said, "Who gave them to the prime minister's family? I guess there are more than these!"

The faces of the prime minister and his wife darkened in an instant, and they glanced at the people on the high seat in panic.

The emperor was feeding little Xi'er milk bean cake, while the queen mother looked at the little girl in her arms with drooping eyelids.

Baby Ruoxi knew that now, all the attention was on her, which made her feel that being a well-behaved baby was actually quite rare!

"These things of the Prime Minister must have been given by others. He should immediately say that they are worthless. However, my uncle is really taking advantage of me. Well... let me help you. After all, you are the emperor. It is not good for you to be ridden on by others and still greet them with a smile!"

Baby Ruoxi thought so, and moved her little hand holding the cake. A stream of purple mysterious energy went towards the gifts.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, all the gifts exploded and scattered all over the floor.

"Wow wow wow..."

On the side, the one-month-old baby who was awakened began to cry, and the five or six-year-old children who were brought to the banquet also cried. For a while, the whole banquet hall was very lively.

"Prime Minister, you have hidden gunpowder in here?" Yuan Hui stood up immediately.

Eunuch Gao and the guards all protected the emperor and the empress dowager, and this commotion also scared Huang Lide, who had never expected such a thing to happen.

It is impossible for the gift to explode. The prime minister is in cahoots with him. Today they want to put a damper on the arrogance of the eldest princess Xiaoyue and let everyone know that the real princess is the daughter of the queen, not a bastard.

"Someone come!" The emperor slowly put down the teacup at this time.

The queen mother patted the little girl calmly. She naturally knew that it was the little girl who did it, but she did not intend to let the emperor be more restrained and pay attention to the opinions of other court officials.

"Your Majesty!" When the queen saw this scene, she immediately turned around and knelt down, saying: "There must be a bad guy who put something in the gift. My father loves me, he will definitely not do anything wrong"!
