Chapter 256 Sima Zhao’s intention!
Jiang Yingcheng observed carefully for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that her aunt, the Empress, had returned to normal.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yingcheng stuffed a small snack into her aunt, the queen's hand like offering a treasure: "Aunt, have a snack. Eat a snack and you won't feel dizzy anymore!"
Although the Yunxi Palace is spacious, there are too many people attending the banquet today. The people from the Ministry of Rites are worried that many nobles will catch a cold, so they placed several braziers in various corners of the palace. The air is hot and stuffy, which is likely to cause hypoglycemia!
Kan Nian really didn't know what "hypoglycemia" meant, but she still reached out to take the snack and thanked him warmly.
She reached out and touched the little guy's furry head. The smooth and soft touch made her feel less angry.
Jiang Yingcheng was completely relieved.
His mind then returned to the previous important matter.
[Fortunately, Cheng Cheng had done enough good deeds recently and accumulated a lot of merit points. Even if she exchanged so many hidden weapon boxes today, she could still buy a lot of pills! ]
[Even if Cheng Cheng failed to defend against the two men's conspiracy today, Cheng Cheng can still cure the prince! ]
Guaranteed survival!
Kan Nianzhen felt relieved. She reached out and picked up the teacup on the table. The warm Longjing tea slid through her mouth and flowed into her body, finally bringing her back a little from her freezing cold state.
The emotion in his eyes was still cold.
Now that Ting Huai is no longer in danger, she can ask for more and more!
Kan Nianzhen's right hand tightly grasped the glass teacup in his hand, squeezing it so hard that his fingertips turned white and almost transparent.
Jiang Yian and Kou Qiwen, the fight between me and you two will not end easily!
…
When all the dishes were served, Jiang Yanchuan raised his cup, said a few opening words in a loud voice, and then told everyone not to be restrained and to enjoy their meal at their leisure.
The people from the Jiaofangsi changed the music to softer ones at the right time, and turned the volume down very low, which was just convenient for people to talk.
No one was walking around at this time, so Jiang Yingcheng lowered his head and concentrated on enjoying the food in front of him.
She has a lot of things to do today, so she has to feed herself well in advance!
However, before Jiang Yingcheng could take a few bites, he heard a slightly hesitant voice coming from below -
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Your Majesty!" Another loud voice suddenly sounded, directly overshadowing the previous voice, "Today's snacks are very delicious. Can I bring some back to my daughter?"
Jiang Yingcheng paused in her chewing and raised her head with a slightly dazed expression. One side of her cheek was stuffed with delicious food, making her look particularly cute.
[Eh?]
Da Rui's ministers were seated on the right side, with Pan Jifeng's position very close to the front. Therefore, Jiang Yingcheng could see the angry expression on his face particularly clearly.
Along with this, there was an excited expression on the face of Jiao Hongmiao, the Minister of Revenue, who was sitting not far from him.
【Why is the atmosphere so weird? 】
Jiao Hongmiao curled his lips in an almost imperceptible smile.
How can I not blame you?
It was obvious that the old man wanted to ask about his missing daughter and his grandson who was nowhere to be found. He was interrupting him deliberately to make things difficult for him!
Jiang Yanchuan saw clearly the undercurrent between the two and nodded calmly: "Yes."
Jiao Hongmiao thanked him, lowered his head and smiled as he picked up a "very delicious" snack for his youngest son who he brought to the banquet today.
Pan Jifeng took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Ah!" Jiao Hongmiao raised his head again and held up the snack in the direction of the young man. "I almost forgot to say, little prince, today's snack is really sweet. You must taste it carefully!"
Jiang Yingcheng didn't know what the strange Uncle Jiao was going to do, but she really liked seeing the embarrassed expression on Pan Jifeng's face, so she happily said "Okay" when she heard that.
When the place returned to calm, Pan Jifeng spoke again: "Your Majesty..."
"Wow!" Chu Jiaxu, the Minister of Rites, was amazed. "Brother Jiao is right. This snack is indeed very delicious. I like it very much!"
“Hahahaha——” Jiao Hongmiao was so excited that he seemed to have found a soulmate, “As long as Brother Chu likes it!”
From then on, the two of them started chatting and laughing as if no one was around, and the topic shifted from snacks to parenting, and then they ran towards the absurd direction of how many new snack shops had opened in Beijing.
Pan Jifeng had to take several deep breaths to suppress his anger, and the expression on his face was very interesting.
Jiang Yingcheng was so happy that he almost forgot to eat the snack, but Kan Nianzhen twisted a piece and handed it to her mouth, and she subconsciously started to eat it.
【Ohhhh, wonderful! 】
【The expression on the villain's face is really wonderful! 】
Pan Jifeng closed his eyes and endured it for a long time, and finally when the two of them talked about going out together, he suddenly exploded. He didn't bother to wait for them to finish their conversation, so he stood up from his seat and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty," Pan Jifeng controlled his voice just enough to not be drowned out by the noise of the crowd, but also not to appear inappropriate, "Today is the New Year's Day banquet, and I have prepared a small gift to add some joy to today!"
The atmosphere in Yunxi Palace was silent for a moment because of these words.
During the reign of Emperor Darui, court officials were not required to present gifts on days like the New Year's Day Banquet. Even the tributes brought by various countries were delivered to the palace on the day of their arrival in Beijing.
This has been the custom for many years, so they have gotten used to bringing only a few mouths to taste the food today.
Pan Jifeng's move directly embarrassed all the ministers who had nothing in their hands.
Jiang Yanchuan had long expected that Pan Jifeng would try his best to rescue Jiang Huaian today, but now he has punished Pan Jingwan as well, so he is very curious about who Pan Jifeng will choose to save first.
He narrowed his eyes: "Oh?"
After receiving a signal from Emperor Mingze, Pan Jifeng immediately asked the palace servants to go to the door and fetch the things he had prepared.
He handed it to Eunuch Changshun with both hands.
Eunuch Changshun directly called two eunuchs, who unfolded the scroll on the spot. After making sure that Emperor Mingze and others had seen it clearly, he ordered the eunuchs to show it around.
The content on it also came into everyone's sight.
The painting shows a night banquet with four generations living together.
An old man in his seventies sat in the center, surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Everyone had a pure smile on their face, which was quite in line with the atmosphere of the day.
only--
The ministers had mixed feelings: Ah, this...
Isn't this purpose a bit too obvious?!
"Your Majesty has worked hard to govern the country, making our country of Darui peaceful and the people safe and happy," Pan Jifeng said with every word, "All the people can enjoy the happiness of family life on this day. I am grateful for this, so I ordered people to make this painting to celebrate the peaceful and prosperous era of our country of Darui!"
This clear intention made all Pan's party members silent for a moment.
After a long while, a light laugh broke the unspeakable silence.
