On the day of the banquet, the Shen family watched the whole process.
When Grand Tutor Feng died, Old Madam Feng cried out to the heavens and begged the emperor to take charge.
Other officials who were drinking with him cried out that they were being wronged.
The emperor had a severe headache.
Finally, people from the Dali Temple were called in to handle the case.
The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is innocent. What can you say about this kind of thing? He is wrong anyway.
When people die, they lose everything and deserve sympathy.
The drinkers are also innocent. They just drank a glass of wine. It is too much to urge them to drink more.
Anyway, after all the quarrels, the emperor finally took charge and ordered each person to compensate the Feng family with 1,000 taels of silver, and to give Master Feng a grand funeral.
Old Madam Feng was unwilling to accept this.
The officials who had paid the money were unwilling to give up, and were about to start a quarrel. The emperor threw his teacup and said, "Shut up! You all want your property confiscated, don't you?"
This time, they didn't make trouble.
They all knelt before the emperor and begged for mercy.
The emperor looked at the people who were trembling like partridges and rubbed his brows: "Get out, all of you!"
A good banquet was ruined just like that.
The Shen family also planned to get out of the palace. Fu Qi came over and said to Shen Shoufu: "Shen Shoufu, please stay. The emperor wants to see you."
Chief Minister Shen nodded.
Madam Shen was about to leave first, but was stopped by Concubine Jing's people: "Why don't you go sit in my palace for a while and leave together when the Prime Minister leaves?"
Madam Shen looked at Yan Bao.
Yan Bao nodded in agreement. She hadn't spoken much to the Thirteenth Prince yet!
When they arrived at Concubine Jing's palace, Xu Zhimo chatted with Madam Shen and Concubine Jing, while Yan Bao and the Thirteenth Prince were playing in the yard. With palace servants watching them, they were not afraid of them running around.
It was snowing and the yard was covered in white.
Yan Bao secretly asked the Thirteenth Prince, "Don't you make snowmen with the snow in your yard?"
"Snowman?" The Thirteenth Prince had never played with one.
Yan Bao patted his chest and said, "I'll make one for you."
The Thirteenth Prince smiled and nodded.
The two of them squatted on the ground and helped each other. Under Yan Bao's guidance, and with the help of Ziyun, the three cute kids quickly built a snowman, which was made in the style of the Thirteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince's eyes lit up.
Concubine Jing saw that they had been playing outside for a long time and was afraid that they would catch a cold, so she called them back and asked her maid to bring out a can of heated yellow peaches.
Concubine Jing said, "This was a gift from the Emperor. I've been keeping it for Yan Bao to try. The Thirteenth Prince likes it very much. It's sweet. Yan Bao, come and see if it tastes good."
Concubine Jing didn't know that this can of food was made by Yan Bao.
Seeing that a can of food was left for Yan Bao, Yan Bao was a little touched. He took a bite with a smile and gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious! How can it not be delicious if we make it ourselves?"
The Thirteenth Prince didn't expect Concubine Jing to take it out, and he blushed and felt embarrassed.
Even if others don't know, he still knows that the canned yellow peaches from Jun Xiji are all Yan Bao's.
He also went to pick yellow peaches!
Unexpectedly, the sales were so good that he sold out before he had saved enough money.
Seeing that Yan Bao liked it, the Thirteenth Prince gave his share to Yan Bao.
Yan Bao smiled sweetly, ate the yellow peach, and gave the syrup to the Thirteenth Prince.
The thirteenth prince drank the sugar water and couldn't help licking his lips. It was so sweet.
On Shen Shoufu's side, the emperor was in a bad mood, so he asked Shen Shoufu to accompany him to talk for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and played three games of chess. The emperor won and his mood immediately improved.
When Chief Minister Shen received Madam Shen and Yan Bao and the others, Yan Bao was holding a cake made by Concubine Jing herself, saying that he would take it back to eat.
The emperor also rewarded Yan Bao with a box of things, saying that they were pearl flowers prepared by the palace for the little princess. It was New Year's Day, so he gave Yan Bao a few pairs to wear for fun.
Yan Bao accepted everything that came his way and held the box tightly. He selected a pair of beautiful pearl flowers and put them on Ziyun's head. Compared to the pearl flowers, Ziyun wanted to eat the snacks sent by Concubine Jing more, as they smelled good.
Concubine Jing looked at the snowman in the yard and saw that it looked a bit like the Thirteenth Prince. Knowing that they had made it, Concubine Jing praised it, "It's very well made. Does Thirteen like Yan Bao?"
The Thirteenth Prince blushed and nodded shyly: "I like it, Yanbao is cute."
"She is indeed very cute, no wonder the emperor likes her." Except for not being able to speak, this little girl is very cute and her smile is so heartwarming.
He is smart, lively, generous, and simple-minded. He looks like a likable child.
Compared with those little princesses in the palace, Yan Bao is much more cheerful.
She is also bold, can act coquettishly and cutely, and likes to be close to the emperor.
At the banquet today, the emperor hugged Yan Bao for a while, and Yan Bao even pulled the emperor's beard out of curiosity. If it were someone else, who would dare to pull out the tiger's hair?
Many people were frightened by Yan Bao's little action, and expressed gloatingly that the Shen family was in trouble.
Who knew that Yan Bao, with her beard pulled out, smiled sweetly at the emperor. Not only was the emperor not angry, he also pinched her face lovingly, fed her and gave her water, taking better care of her than his own daughter.
Many people wanted to send their daughters to the Shen family and let Mrs. Shen teach them how to teach a daughter who dared to pull the emperor's beard without being punished.
If Yan Bao knew, he would definitely show off proudly, saying that it was a natural talent that no one else could compare to.
After the seal, Shen Shoufu and his men no longer had to attend court and began their annual leave, returning to court on the 16th of the following year.
Of course, if the emperor was bored, he would summon a few ministers a few days in advance, such as on the 90th day of the first lunar month, to start working.
After he was free, Shen Shoufu wanted to have a good rest at home, but he had no choice but to go out and have fun at home. When reading Shen Shoufu's travel notes, Yan Bao discovered that there was a hot spring villa near the capital.
Yan Bao looked at Shen Shoufu eagerly: [Let’s go to the hot springs, let’s go to the hot springs, Daddy, let’s go to the hot springs. If we don’t go, I’m afraid that the Third Prince will plot against us. He and Xu Zhirong are in cahoots and are preparing to cause trouble!]
