Chapter 66: Palace Banquet Riding on the Neck
Palace banquet.
There was laughter and chatter in the palace, and the sound of stringed instruments was endless.
Some people even changed "Song of the Wine" into a sword dance, and the ups and downs of the poem amazed everyone watching.
"That Mr. Lu is truly a man of great talent."
"At only seventeen, he has created such a masterpiece. He is truly a genius."
Lu Yuanze was sitting in front of the hall, and when he heard everyone praising Lu Jinghuai, he raised his neck slightly.
"Come to think of it, the last person who was so outstanding was Lord Lu's eldest son, right? He was only eight years old and a scholar, and he ranked first." Seeing Lu Yuanze's proud look, a minister couldn't help but sneer.
"Excessive wisdom will lead to harm. It's a pity for Lord Lu's eldest son."
"Now that he is disabled, he still occupies the position of the crown prince. What a pity, what a pity..."
Lu Yuanze seemed to have something stuck in his throat, and the hidden joy and pride on his face were instantly shattered and trampled underfoot.
"I heard that he can't take care of himself and needs someone to help him with his pee and poop." The person who spoke sighed, and Lu Yuanze was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
Lu Yuanze took a deep breath.
"Yanshu doesn't have that fate." His eyes sank slightly.
The huge marquisate must be handed over to the prince in the future.
But now, the inkstone book is in ruins.
Can't support such a huge mansion.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already seven years old, and His Majesty has already been looking for a tutor for him. If Lu Jinghuai can really get the top three places in the imperial examination, I'm afraid..." Several officials looked at each other.
Lu Yuanze clenched his fists.
The one who passed the imperial examination and became the prince's teacher would be the future junior tutor.
A rising star.
"However, Lu Jinghuai's status is humble, so I'm afraid it will be a bit of an obstacle."
"It is said that Lu Jinghuai is the son of a concubine. With such an identity, even if he passed the imperial examination and became the top three candidates in the imperial examination, he is not qualified to be the prince's tutor. It is a pity not to bring such an outstanding young man back to the mansion to be included in the family tree." Everyone sighed.
"Speaking of which, the Jiang family is still far-sighted. They actually broke off the engagement with the disabled Lu family so early and decided to marry Lu Jinghuai. This marriage is a good deal for Miss Jiang!"
No one noticed that Lu Yuanze seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"Hey, there are roasted chestnuts in today's palace banquet?" The court officials looked at the small plate of roasted chestnuts, roasted sweet potatoes and roasted peanuts on the table in amazement.
Such small snacks that are only available in the market are actually served at the palace banquet?
How could they know that the emperor was brought out by Lu Chaochao! !
Lu Yuanze was only a fourth-rank official, and was currently sitting near the palace door.
Xu was on good terms with the eldest princess, so she sat at the table beside the female relatives.
The eldest princess held Chao Chao affectionately, her eyes full of love.
"I haven't thanked you enough for saving my mother." The eldest princess held her waist. The twins were a huge burden to her, but it was a sweet burden.
"My mother has been seriously ill and cannot go out to get some fresh air. She is grateful for your kindness and specially asked someone to bring this item to me."
Lu Chaochao's eyelids suddenly jumped! !
Hey! !
It can’t be a jade pendant!
Just as Lu Chaochao finished muttering to herself, she saw the eldest princess silently take out a emerald green jade pendant from her bosom.
[Ahhhhhhh!] ! 】
Lu Chaozhao screamed in her heart like a groundhog.
Perhaps the emotions were too intense, even the prince on the platform couldn't help rubbing his ears.
[Is the royal family seriously ill?] ! The whole family loves to give jade pendants as gifts! 】
The prince was stunned?
The whole family? Which family?
[The eldest princess gave a jade pendant, the emperor gave a jade pendant, the prince gave a jade pendant, and even the empress dowager gave a jade pendant! No place to hang it! ! 】Lu Chaochao widened his eyes and looked at the jade pendant in front of him.
The prince opened his mouth in confusion: Ah? Has his whole family been sent there?
[I don’t give you money, and I don’t give you food. I have collected all the jade pendants. 】Lu Chaochao looked sad.
The eldest princess pinched her chubby little face and said, "Your parents haven't divorced yet, so the favor they bestowed on you cannot be displayed yet. We Chaochao will have to bear with it for now." If Lu Chaochao was favored, Lu Yuanze would probably hold her tightly and not let go.
Xu's eyes were slightly hot.
Yes, from the very beginning, she had no intention of leaving the children in the Lu family.
"You, don't even know the weight of the jade pendant." This represents commitment and power.
Her royal brother, who was such a suspicious and cautious person, gave Chao Chao a jade pendant that looked like the emperor himself was present.
It can be seen that he loves this little girl.
[The jade pendant cannot be eaten.] 】Lu Chaochao shook his head, his face full of disgust.
The eldest princess couldn't help but chuckle.
If your father knew, he would probably want to worship you.
But you, little guy, are so disgusted.
After the palace banquet, fireworks will be set off in the palace.
Brilliant and colorful fireworks shot up into the sky. Lu Chaochao looked up, and the more he looked up, the further back he got.
finally……
Sit down on the ground.
She was confused.
She blinked her eyes, and while everyone was watching the fireworks, she climbed up the stairs.
The highest position, the best view.
The chief eunuch, Eunuch Wang, was standing on the viewing platform. When he saw her climbing up the platform using her hands and feet, he was stunned for a moment.
Watch her crawl towards His Majesty.
Pulled at His Majesty's dragon robe.
She sat on the ground and stretched out her hands to the emperor: "Uncle...hug me." The baby's voice was particularly soft and she smiled innocently, which stunned the emperor.
The viewing platform has an excellent view.
The emperor bent down and picked her up.
The ministers gathered around and all looked up in the direction of the fireworks.
The fireworks exploded, emitting puffs of smoke. I could only vaguely see a figure on the platform, but it was not clear.
Lu Chaochao grabbed the emperor's hair, which made Eunuch Wang terrified.
"Not enough! Not enough!" She raised her head, wanting to go higher and higher.
She smiled and kissed the emperor on the cheek.
Leaving behind a string of saliva.
"Gao Gao!" Then he pointed at the emperor's neck.
Before the emperor could react, she used her hands and feet to climb onto his neck.
"Be careful, be careful not to fall." The emperor hurriedly supported her. If she fell, even the coffin of his ancestor underground would not be able to hold her down.
The eunuch Wang who served in the imperial court had always been a prominent figure.
Even the court officials would be polite when they saw him, but at this moment, they were so shocked that their lips opened wide and their faces were filled with shock.
Lu Chaochao! !
Riding on the emperor's neck! ! !
Ahhhhh!
Even the prince doesn’t have this treatment! !
Eunuch Wang secretly glanced at the prince, and sure enough, the prince's face turned black.
The prince frowned angrily: It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault! ! You are short and never ride on my neck every day! !
"Wow...what a good deal..." Lu Chaochao's face was full of excitement.
"It's Chao Chao's first time to celebrate the New Year and watch fireworks." The prince said sourly.
The emperor initially felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have let her ride on his neck and embarrassed him.
This is the first time I’ve seen it!
First time riding a neck!
I am the first one!
Not shameful!
Lu Yuanze, who was sitting in the stands, turned around inadvertently and rubbed his eyes.
In the hazy smoke, he seemed to see a baby riding on the emperor's neck.
Baby, looks like Lu Chaochao? ! !
He looked carefully again, but it was shrouded in smoke and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Haha, he is really crazy. Lu Chaochao is riding on the emperor’s neck? ?
He can eat shit while standing upside down!
I guess I'm dazzled.
