After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Soon, the emperor was going to hold a banquet in the palace to adopt a child for King Xiaoyao, and the news that officials of the third rank and above had to bring their family members to attend, spread throughout Shangjing.

Tang Shuyi hasn't contacted the Seventh Prince in the palace recently, so he doesn't know his current situation, but he believes that child will seize this opportunity.She also made a special trip to Tang Guogong's mansion. Tang Guogong told him that as long as the seventh prince cooperates, there should be no major problems. She was half relieved.

Before the banquet, Tang Shuyi called Xiao Yuzhu, Tang Anle, and Xue Ying to him, and told them again that this time, the sky outside was falling, and they could not leave the banquet or leave the sight of their elders.

When the three of them attended the banquet, they often sat together, so Tang Shuyi called the three of them together and instructed them.

The three of Xiao Yuzhu nodded seriously. They still remembered the last palace banquet, and they definitely didn't dare to run around again.

However, even though the three of them made a promise, Tang Shuyi was not completely relieved. On the day of the banquet, she tightly detained the three of them by her side.Not only her, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang, as well as Mrs. Xue Ying's mother, Mrs. Xue, also put an eye on them.

Xiao Yuzhu's distress at the last palace banquet really frightened them.

On the side of the Seventh Prince, the eunuch from the emperor's side came over early this morning and watched him change into neat and fitting clothes, but he was too thin and the clothes fit too well, making him even more scrawny.

The eunuch frowned even more when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he wore loose clothes, it would be like wearing someone else's clothes, making people feel that the emperor had treated the seventh prince badly.

"That's it." The eunuch said.

How else can it be?You can't put meat on him, besides, he doesn't have that ability!

The seventh prince twitched at his clothes, looking at a loss.The eunuch walked up to him and said with a slightly bent back, "Your Highness Seventh, today is the emperor choosing a adoptive child for King Xiaoyao. You are just going through the motions. Just don't move and talk nonsense when the time comes."

This was what Jiao Kangsheng told him to tell the Seventh Prince before he came.The emperor thought this son was ashamed and didn't want him to show up in front of everyone, but he had already told the courtiers to get all the sons to participate.The emperor is a person who cares about face. If you say something, you can't slap yourself in the face.

Li Jingyi pursed his lips and remained silent after hearing his words, and the old eunuch hurriedly said, "Don't worry, our Seventh Highness is the most obedient."

The eunuch looked at Li Jingyi again, seeing him with his head down and a dumbfounded look, he sighed in his heart, after all, he was also a prince, but he became like this.He waved his hands, "Your Highness, let's go with the servant."

"Hey." The old eunuch responded, and then pulled Li Jingyi to follow behind the eunuch.

After walking for a while, they saw the empress and several concubines approaching from a distance, and they stopped quickly, waiting for the empress and several concubines to pass by.But when she got closer, the Queen asked people to stop, then looked at Li Jingyi and said, "Is this Xiaoqi?"

The eunuch in front of the emperor quickly replied with a smile: "As for the empress, it is His Royal Highness Seventh."

The queen turned her head and looked at Li Jingyi for a moment, then waved to him, "Come, Bengong, take a look."

Li Jingyi lowered his head and didn't dare to go forward. The old eunuch had no choice but to drag him to the queen and said softly, "Your Highness, please greet the queen."

Li Jingyi was stunned, then gave a nonsensical salute, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Greetings to the empress."

The queen sighed, "Poor thing."

"Concubine Min," said Concubine Liang's voice at this time, "I remember that you and Jiang... you and Xiaoqi's mother had the closest relationship back then, so I don't see you taking care of him."

Concubine Min is the eldest prince's mother concubine, and she has been confronting Concubine Liang Guifei on weekdays. Now that Concubine Liang Guifei has ridiculed her again, she snorted coldly: "I remember you had a good relationship with her back then, why didn't you?" See you take care of Xiaoqi."

"Okay," the queen interrupted the two, "today the emperor will choose a step-son for King Xiaoyao, you all should be quiet."

As she spoke, she waved her hands, and the guard of honor continued on.When they were far away, Li Jingyi and the others continued on.After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the banquet hall.There were already many people inside, and the eunuch in front of the emperor found a corner and asked Li Jingyi to sit down.

The other princes of the emperor sat in front, but the second prince was not there, and he was still locked up.The First Prince sat crookedly, his face was pale, and he looked hollowed out.

The third prince stood beside the queen, looking down, looking very cute.After his mother and concubine left, he was raised under the queen's name.The fourth prince was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was full of hostility, as if he could fight anyone at any time.

When the courtiers saw these princes, they shook their heads in their hearts.Some people even wondered whether they should urge the emperor to work harder and give birth to something useful.

"The emperor is here, and Concubine Jiashu is here."

A sharp voice sounded, the banquet hall fell silent, and the emperor and Concubine Jiashu walked in.After sitting down, the emperor said: "My sixth younger brother Xiaoyao Wang died young, leaving no man and half a woman. Every time I think of it, my heart aches."

As he spoke, he sighed, and even his eyes felt a little wet, "I discussed with the concubine to adopt an heir to my sixth younger brother from the clan. You all come here and let the concubine take a look."

He beckoned, and twenty or so children in their teens came out and stood in front of the concubine in a row.The emperor glanced at them, frowned, then looked at the fourth prince and said, "Jingyang, come here too."

The fourth prince, Li Jingyang, heard the emperor calling him, walked to stand among those children with a reluctance on his face.

Seeing this, the emperor frowned, and then said, "Jing...Jing Yi, come here too."

When he heard Jing Yi, many courtiers didn't remember who it was for a moment, until a weak child who seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, everyone suddenly understood.

The emperor looked at his seventh son who was dumbfounded, and felt that his face was dull, but he still calmly said to the concubine: "Look, which one suits your eyes."

The concubine nodded, then glanced across the faces of the children, and finally stopped on Li Jingyi, she said: "A few days ago, I met this child in the palace. This is it?"

"This is my seventh prince." The emperor said.

The concubine smiled and waved to Li Jingyi, "Come, let me take a look."

Li Jingyi looked around, made sure that the concubine was calling him, then walked two steps forward with his head down, stopped and didn't speak, just stood there blankly.The emperor felt that his face was about to be humiliated.But he couldn't help it right now.
