Chapter 275 I don’t understand, what makes me worthy of my father’s special attention?
The queen had a headache.
They could have done something stupid at any other time, but they had to choose this critical moment as the Emperor's Birthday.
The Ning Prince's Mansion and the An Prince's Mansion would not be able to do without their food.
He had to start a fire in the Imperial Garden.
Lin Miaoyin closed her eyes, "Mother..."
Seeing her speak, Beigong Yi hurriedly said, "Fourth sister-in-law!"
Lin Miaoyin waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, don't call me Fourth Sister-in-law."
She is scared.
This Beigong Yi must be here to collect debts.
I followed him to steal food twice and was caught twice.
This luck is really bad.
In fact, it’s not Beigong Yi’s fault, it’s her fault for being greedy and not controlling her mouth.
Putting aside Beigong Yi's abilities, his attainments in food alone are comparable to Fanfan's.
Beigong Yi also felt like crying but had no tears.
Since he dared to roast a chicken in the imperial garden, he must have thought about the consequences, which were nothing more than a reprimand, a salary reduction, and house arrest.
The great victory over Beidi only brought him rewards such as gold, silver, and jewelry. He was not afraid of a salary deduction, and house arrest was something he wanted more than anything else. Isn't it wonderful to study delicious food quietly in his mansion without being disturbed?
He didn't expect to meet his fourth sister-in-law here.
Thinking about being fined for eating lamb legs at the Temple of Heaven two days ago, he felt guilty and wanted to make up for it, so he kindly invited her to come over for chicken, but he didn't expect to implicate her again.
He glanced carefully at the thin figure.
As expected, he got a dark face.
I guess Fourth Brother wanted to kill him.
He quickly picked up the beggar's chicken on the ground and knelt down in front of the queen. "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, mother."
You can fine him, but you can't confiscate his chicken.
Hearing his righteous tone, the queen's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Mother, it is your son..."
Before Beigong You could speak, Beigong Yi interrupted him, "Mother, today's incident has nothing to do with Fourth Sister-in-law. It was I who insisted on inviting her to taste it, and she agreed because she couldn't resist. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone."
Seeing that Beigong Yi knew how to get rid of Lin Miaoyin, the queen didn't want to embarrass him, so she gave him a lenient sentence. "Prince An violated the palace rules. Considering it's the first time, he will be fined 4,000 taels of salary and clean up the imperial garden. If it happens again, I will not let him off easily."
"After such a serious incident as arson in the palace, Her Majesty the Queen just fined the salary?"
Beigong Yu stared at Beigong Yi and spoke softly, accusing him of a crime without mercy, "Prince An can set fire to the Imperial Garden today, and he can set fire to my father's bedroom tomorrow. Who will be responsible for my father's safety?"
Beigong Yi immediately shouted, "I'm just eating a beggar's chicken, what's the big deal? If you want to eat this bite of food, I'll give it to you. A man is so petty, and if someone doesn't know, they would think you are taking advantage of the situation and setting fire to my father's bedroom and blaming me for it."
"You!" Beigong Yu was shocked by his outrageous words, "Don't spit blood on me."
"Don't you dare say you didn't think so!"
"I don't……"
“That’s enough!”
The Queen interrupted their argument with a cold voice and glanced at Beigong Yu, "I am the master of the six palaces. If Prince Jing is dissatisfied with my handling of the matter, you can report it to the Emperor and let him make the decision."
"Empress..."
"Yu'er."
Beigong Yu was about to speak when Chen Wanrong interrupted her, "As the head of the six palaces, your Majesty the Queen will naturally deal with it fairly. Why bother to bring this to your father over such a small matter?"
Chen Wanrong hinted at Beigong Yu with her eyes.
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Beigong Yi in the future, so there is no need to do it on Emperor Ming’s birthday.
Furthermore, the Queen's blatant attack on Beigong Yi and Lin Miaoyin was not without benefits to them. At least for her, this was a good opportunity to catch the Queen's handle.
If the emperor gets angry with the queen, he will have the power to manage the six palaces.
"The Longevity Festival is about to begin. We should go and congratulate His Majesty. Sister Queen, I will take my leave first."
Chen Wanrong didn't wait for the Queen to answer and left with Beigong Yu.
After everyone left, Beigong Yi stood up and touched the beggar chicken in his arms, "I'm so scared, could it be that the mother and son are attracted to my chicken? I would rather feed it to a dog than give it to them!"
He said this with a painful but flattering tone as he handed the beggar's chicken to Beigong You, "Fourth brother, would you like to try it?"
Beigong You: “…”
Seeing that Beigong You ignored him, he handed the beggar's chicken to Lin Miaoyin again, "Give it to the fourth sister-in-law. The fourth sister-in-law is in poor health and needs to be nourished."
Lin Miaoyin: "..."
You are the dog!
Your whole family is dogs!
Beigong Yi looked at the twitching corners of their mouths and immediately understood something. "That... Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. This chicken... I give it to you sincerely!"
Lin Miaoyin waved her hands tiredly: "No, no, no, we are not worthy of it, you should keep it and enjoy it slowly."
The queen stroked her forehead, feeling a little headache, "Come here, confiscate all of Prince An's things."
Beigong Yi wailed, "Mother, no! No!"
These are his lifeblood...
The queen didn't bother to pay attention to him and took Lin Miaoyin's hand, "Miaoyin, let's go back quickly."
Beigong Yi saw the palace servants cleaning their earthen stoves and ate a big chicken leg with tears in his eyes.
His plum garden is called the chicken...
Can’t eat it anymore!
…
Inside Qianqiu Palace.
Officials from the capital and some local officials all came with their families, and concubines and princes had also taken their seats.
Qianqiu Hall is the palace where Beiliang holds birthday celebrations and palace banquets. It looks majestic and magnificent from the outside, and is magnificent inside with carved beams and painted buildings. It can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. This year's Wanshou Festival is unprecedentedly grand. At this moment, there are about seven or eight hundred people in the hall, and it does not seem cramped at all.
Prince Jing Beigong Yu sat at the bottom of the dragon throne, which was the position closest to the emperor.
The eldest son, Prince Shu Beigong Shu, ranked second, followed by Prince Qi Beigong Xian, Prince An Beigong Yi, and Prince Ning Beigong You.
The court officials below looked at the seating order and exchanged glances with each other, their emotions mixed.
Concubine Chen is always favored in the palace, and Prince Jing is deeply loved by His Majesty. Even on the Emperor's Birthday Festival, he is the first to be included, which shows that His Majesty loves him very much.
It seems that the position of crown prince will be secured in the near future!
You have to join the team early to win the first place.
There was an undercurrent among the people below. When Beigong Yu noticed it, he became even happier, his face flushed, and he was almost raising his tail.
Beigong Shu, who was suppressed, looked calm and still as gentle and elegant as before, but the fingertips holding the wine glass turned slightly pale, revealing the unwillingness in his heart.
Those eunuchs are used to serving different kinds of food to different people.
Without the emperor's permission, who would dare to put King Jing ahead of him?
There is an order of seniority. As the eldest son, he is now overshadowed by the youngest, Beigong Yu. However, his father, who attaches great importance to rules and etiquette, does not think it is wrong.
He put his preference clearly in front of everyone.
But he couldn't understand why a fool like Beigong Yu deserved his father's attention?
Chen Zhimo, who was standing beside him, keenly sensed Beigong Shu's displeasure. He clenched his hands and moved a little further away, then lowered his eyes and looked to the back while no one was paying attention.
Ah You...
She was looking forward to Beigong You looking over here.
