Yu Yuzheng looked at the men's guest area again.
Several ministers were seen leaving the room, either to go to the toilet, to have a chat, or to find a place to communicate with their colleagues. Even the emperor was watching the performance absent-mindedly.
Every palace banquet was like this, nothing new, just a celebration between the emperor and his ministers.
The queen was still chatting with several concubines around her.
At this time, the Seventh Prince stepped forward and said, "Father, Mother, my son Chen and my Eighth Sister have recently learned a very festive song and would like to dedicate it to the Moon Goddess and to Father and Mother."
"Oh? Didn't you just study for a few days? You've learned it?" The emperor became interested.
"Father will know once he hears it."
The two eight-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, were ready.
The actors who were performing were asked to leave, and then someone had the piano moved to the middle.
The two siblings smiled at each other and sat down calmly.
It looks quite good.
The Eighth Princess shouted, "Begin."
The two started fighting at the same time.
When the cheerful, strong-beat music sounded, the old ministers who had previously been dismissive stopped drinking.
The tempo is too fast, and I can't even clap along.
But the joyful rhythm is shocking.
The piece was very short and was finished in just a short while.
This drew applause.
"Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, you two really impressed me. You have learned to this level in just a few days. Not bad, not bad.
Your teacher teaches better.
reward!
The eldest lady of the Rong Palace was awarded a pair of jade ruyi, and the two princes and princesses were awarded a zither made by Master Lin each."
When Yu Yuzheng heard that she had also received a reward, she stood up to thank him.
"Actually, they play much worse than you." Shangguan Ziqi whispered in her ear.
"They are still children, and their hands are not strong enough."
At this moment, a eunuch came in from the side and whispered something in the emperor's ear, causing the emperor to frown.
Only then did Yu Zheng look at where Princess Nanhua was.
It's been so long, and he still hasn't come back.
Looking at the men's area, Shangguan Zishu was not there either.
It can't be as she guessed.
Should I tell my husband about this?
While she was struggling with this, the Emperor said something to the Queen, and then she saw the Queen stand up and leave.
"Husband, let's go out and take a breath before coming back." Yu Yuzheng suggested in a low voice.
"Let's go."
"Ziqi, you must take good care of Zheng'er." The princess instructed lovingly.
It used to be said that Zheng'er took care of Ziqi, but since she became pregnant, the role of care has been reversed.
"Don't worry, mother."
The two men left the Taiyi Hall. Outside, several ministers were standing in groups on the east and west, chatting.
This is the first time Shangguan Ziqi has appeared in public since waking up.
Everyone took the initiative to greet me.
When meeting elders, Shangguan Ziqi speaks first.
"Madam, push me over there."
Yu Zheng saw that there was an old man chatting with the prince.
"Grandson greets grandfather." When he arrived, Shangguan Ziqi bowed while sitting in a wheelchair.
"Ma'am, this is my grandfather." He immediately introduced Yu Yuzheng.
"Zheng'er has met grandpa."
"Okay, okay, Ziqi, I'm glad you've woken up. Your father said that your grandmother cried for joy all day at home the day you woke up. Your grandmother's birthday will be soon, so come to her house to pay your respects to her then." Duke Weiguo was very happy to see his eldest grandson.
The Duke of Wei was already fifty-eight years old, and the princess was his first child.
It was a pity that his first wife fell ill after giving birth and left them father and daughter within two years. When the princess was three years old, the old lady of the Duke arranged for him to marry another wife, and the princess was taken to live with her grandmother and spent much less time with her father.
"I am an unfilial grandson. I should have paid my respects to my grandparents earlier. Why didn't my grandmother come to the palace today?" Shangguan Ziqi only saw his grandfather enter the palace.
"She hasn't been feeling well these past two days so she hasn't come to the palace. Your two uncles and aunt stayed behind to take care of her so they didn't come." Duke Weiguo explained.
"Is it serious?" Shangguan Ziqi asked with concern when he heard that his grandmother was not feeling well.
"It's nothing serious, just a little dizzy. I've consulted a doctor and taken some medicine. I'll be fine in a few days."
"That's good. On grandma's birthday, I will come to pay my respects to her."
"Okay, I'll tell your grandmother. Ziqi's wife, you are a good one. As soon as he entered the door, Ziqi woke up.
I heard from your father that you are pregnant with twins.
Not bad, not bad, you are the lucky star of the Shangguan family. For so many generations in the Shangguan family, no daughter-in-law has ever been pregnant with twins. You are the first." Duke Weiguo praised Yu Zheng lovingly again.
"I'm a little embarrassed about what my grandfather said about my granddaughter-in-law. This kind of thing is not something I can control. I don't deserve this lucky star." Yu Yuzheng said modestly.
"Grandfather is right. Madam is my lucky star." Shangguan Ziqi affirmed.
At this time, a young eunuch from the palace came hurriedly over.
"We are here to see Prince Rong, Duke Wei, the eldest son, and the eldest young lady. The prince has encountered some problems, and the queen wants the prince to come over."
"What?" the prince was surprised.
Yu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat. No way, had she really guessed it?
The king confessed his crime and hurriedly followed the young eunuch to the back of the hall.
The couple looked at each other, said goodbye to Weiguo, and followed the prince's direction.
When they arrived at a back room used for guests to change clothes, they saw a lot of people gathered and heard a woman crying.
"Empress, you have to make the decision for our county lady. Prince Rong has seen our county lady's body naked. How can she get married in the future? Our prince's wife is looking for a matchmaker for the county lady. Now that it's good, who dares to come to propose marriage?"
"Okay, everyone, go back to Taiyi Palace." The queen rubbed her brows with a headache.
When the crowd who came to watch the fun heard the queen's words, they dared not continue to watch.
The prince looked at Shangguan Zishu, who was squatting on the ground, expressionlessly.
"Tell me, what's going on?" the prince asked coldly and kicked him again.
When Shangguan Zishu heard his father's voice, he looked up in panic, then knelt before the prince.
At this time, the princess and Yu Chaoyang also came, and they were also called by the queen.
"My son, what's wrong with you?" At this time, a woman in her thirties in gorgeous clothes rushed over and hugged the crying Nanhua County Lady, feeling distressed.
This person is none other than Lin Xinru, wife of the Crown Prince of Laomo.
Following behind him was Prince Mo's son Cao Mengxing.
"Mother, I won't live anymore. I am too ashamed to face anyone." Upon seeing her mother, Princess Nanhua looked like she was dying and cried even more sadly.
"Tell me, what happened?" Lin Xinru became even more anxious.
Seeing his eldest daughter in such a mess and with her clothes not properly dressed.
"Mother, my clothes got dirty while I was eating and I didn't notice, so I wanted to change. Just as I took off my clothes, someone pushed the door open, and I saw the prince of Rong Palace looking at me stupidly. Woo woo..." The Princess of Nanhua County cried endlessly again.
"Nanhua County Lady, you deliberately seduced my husband. Everyone knows that you want to marry my husband and become the Crown Prince's Consort of the Rong Palace.
This is the trap you designed to make my husband fall into. You shameless person, how dare you cry." Yu Chaoyang was furious when he heard this and cursed without caring about anything else.
