Li Jiuhua's eyes were filled with hatred, and he said viciously, "Your Highness, we should change our plan. If we continue to be so slow, not only will we fail to kill Nangong Yan, but we will be exposed and eventually killed by them."
Prince Jian knew that all his plans over the years had come to nothing, and he was impatient.
"Master Li, you are different from me. You are capable and smart. Why don't you think about what we should do?"
Hearing this, Li Jiuhua said directly: "Prince, the group of assassins you hired can be dispatched now. Waiting any longer will not do us any good."
Upon hearing this, Prince Jian nodded calmly, took out the token from his waist and handed it to Li Jiuhua, "This is a token that can mobilize ten people, Master Li, take it! Whether it is to assassinate Qingli first or Nangong Yan, it is up to you to arrange it. But Qingli knows the mysterious arts, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. This is something that Master Li should think of a way to deal with. With the help of ten secret guards, you can think of some other ways, and it may be much easier to capture Qingli."
Li Jiuhua took the token and nodded, "Okay, I'll find a way."
After watching Li Jiuhua leave, Prince Jian said to the attendants around him: "Get ready and go to the palace to attend the banquet tomorrow."
The attendant hesitated and said, "Your Highness, why don't we not go? The queen is too evil. It is said that she can see through a person's fate. If she sees something, it will be bad."
Upon hearing this, Prince Jian sneered and said, "Li Jiuhua is also a well-known master who is very proficient in divination and fortune-telling, but he is just that good. He has been with me for so many years, but he still can't see through me. Even if the Queen is better than him, she can't see through a person with just one look. If that's the case, then she is not a human, but a god."
The attendant heard this and thought it made sense.
"Your Majesty is right. I will prepare it right away."
"By the way, go to the warehouse and pick out two gifts that are more valuable and suitable for children and bring them tomorrow."
The servant had just taken two steps when he was stopped.
After hearing what King Jian said, the attendant was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to give gifts to the little emperor and princess in the palace?"
Prince Jian smiled, his expression inexplicable, "After all, he is my grandson, so it's okay to give him a gift."
The attendant looked at his master's smile, somewhat confused, but not daring to ask more questions, and hurriedly agreed to go out and prepare.
On the next day, all the ministers brought their families into the palace for a banquet. Qingli also changed into the queen's palace dress and officially appeared in front of everyone as the queen for the first time.
In the palace, dancers are dancing gracefully, and the sound of soft musical instruments echoes in the palace.
At the eunuch's loud shout, Nangong Yan and Qingli came side by side, and everyone knelt down to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Your ...
It was the first time that Qingli was bowed to by so many people. At a glance, it was full of people.
Seeing so many people prostrating themselves on the ground to greet her, she thought, no wonder so many people are obsessed with power and want to climb to the pinnacle of power. This feeling of being above everyone else is indeed irresistible and makes people obsessed with it.
Even someone like her who had no desire for power felt the temptation of power at this moment.
After walking up to the high dragon throne, Nangong Yan said, "Everyone, please stand up!"
After Nangong Yan finished speaking, everyone stood up and took their seats.
Qingli glanced around, looking at everyone at the banquet, and memorized their faces.
After Nangong Yan said a few polite words, he told everyone to start eating and drinking freely without any restraint.
Prince Jian arrived late, sitting in a wheelchair, pushed in by his attendants.
"Your Majesty, I am late."
Prince Jian is nearly forty years old. Apart from the inconvenience of his legs, he is actually a handsome man with clear facial features and a mature and elegant temperament. Long-term pampered life makes him look very young, not at all like a man in his forties. If it weren't for the restriction of his legs, he would definitely be a handsome man.
Every time we see Prince Jian, we can't help but feel sympathy and pity.
"Uncle Jiu has arrived just in time. The banquet has just begun!"
Nangong Yan said with a smile.
Prince Jian looked up at the smile on Nangong Yan's face and was slightly stunned.
He had never seen Nangong Yan smile so naturally before. It was completely different from his previous coldness.
It seems that the rumors during this period are not false. It is said that His Majesty is different now than before.
Since becoming the queen, His Majesty has often had a smile on his face, and his words and actions have become much gentler than before.
It seems that the rumor is true.
The attendant pushed Prince Jian to the lower left of Nangong Yan, while the lower right seat were Mengmeng and Yangyang.
After Prince Jian sat down, he said to Nangong Yan, "I also heard in the mansion that your majesty has now given birth to two children. This is really a joy for our Nanguo and our Nangong family!"
Prince Jian said excitedly, looking really happy. ''
Nangong Yan looked at the two kids and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, Yangyang, this is your Ninth Grandfather. Go meet him."
Prince Jian was the ninth child, so according to seniority, the two children should call him Ninth Grandpa.
After hearing their father's words, the two children stood up and saluted to Prince Jian, "Greetings, Grandpa Jiu."
Prince Jian looked at the two children with eyes full of the kindness that an elder should have, but Mengmeng felt that the aura of this man was very bad and that he was a bad person, so she didn't like him.
"They are two good kids."
Although Prince Jian was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes. He disliked Mengmeng's face which was similar to Nangong Yan's. This little appearance was exactly like Nangong Yan's childhood.
Prince Jian looked at this little face, and many dark thoughts emerged in his mind, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Here, this is the gift from Grandpa Jiu for you two."
As King Jian was speaking, the attendants behind him had already brought the gifts to the two children and placed them in front of their table.
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiu."
The two children thanked them politely.
Prince Jian smiled, and the scene was harmonious, but Qingli had already seen what Prince Jian had done from him.
But she didn't say anything and just sat there quietly.
The banquet was very lively, with the ministers chatting with each other, and the wives and young ladies of the officials also chatting with each other.
Qingli noticed a pair of eyes that were always looking at her. When she looked over, the eyes moved back. In that direction, the person she knew was Yin Lengdie.
"Your Majesty, I have recently learned a new song and would like to present it to you."
Suddenly, a performer came. Qingli was surprised for a moment and her eyes fell on the girl.
The girl was dressed in purple, had a pretty face and a graceful figure, a standard beauty.
Qingli nodded.
When the girl saw that she did not refuse, her eyes brightened instantly and she immediately thanked her.
The dedication began soon. The song the girl played had a faint sadness. Even people who didn't understand the piano could feel the sadness of her song.
Qingli looked at the girl, opened his third eye, looked at her past and future, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised!
After the song was finished, the girl stood up and knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished playing. Do you like the sound of my playing?"
Qingli smiled and said, "You play very well. Who are you from?"
Before the girl could reply, a woman at the banquet stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my words and actions were rude. Please forgive me."
The girl glanced at her mother, her eyes slightly cold, and then said to Qingli: "My lady, I am the daughter of Jiang Xing, the official of the Ministry of Revenue, and my name is Jiang Man."
Qingli ignored the woman and said to Jiang Man gently, "What do you want from me?"
Jiang Man knelt down hurriedly, feeling uneasy, but she tried to suppress her emotions and said, "Your Highness wants to ask for an imperial decree."
"Jiang Man! Don't be so rude."
The woman hurriedly opened her mouth to stop him, looking very angry.
