There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

Several more royal relatives stood up to echo the advice.

The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said resolutely: "It's just a banquet, how can there be so many rules? Today is the birthday banquet of the Ai family. Whoever the Ai family wants to sit, let them sit!"

She turned to look at the emperor and asked: "Your Majesty, don't the Ai family even have this small power today?"

The emperor stood up and said: "Empress Dowager, the etiquette system of the Qian Kingdom was established by the ancestors, and the people of Da Qian have been following it for many years. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. Today, the Queen Mother gave a seat to the young eunuch on such a solemn and grand occasion. It is inconsistent with etiquette. It’s a fact. If everyone acted as they pleased, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”

Zhang Yanzheng added: "Besides, there are noble envoys from the Chu State present today. If other countries make excuses to ridicule our country's broken etiquette, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big loss?"

The Queen Mother said sternly: "Standing on one's own will will only stagnate and follow some pedantic rules. It doesn't matter if you don't follow them! You can't even satisfy the Ai family's small wish. What's the point of eating the Ai family's meal?" "

After that, she flicked her sleeves and said loudly: "Let's drive back to Cining Palace!"

Everyone looked terrified and didn't know what to do. If the Queen Mother really left, wouldn't this birthday party just break up?

The queen suddenly left the banquet, knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, granting a seat is just a small matter, so don't let it hurt your friendship. Today's birthday banquet for the Queen Mother should satisfy her wish, why not just grant her permission?"

The emperor was hesitant at this time. If he broke with the queen mother over the issue of granting the throne, and the two major forces fell into an open and covert struggle afterwards, it would definitely affect the foundation of the country.

Moreover, the prince and princess of the Chu Kingdom saw this matter. The people of the Chu Kingdom have always been open-minded and informal, and many customs and etiquette were very different from those of the Qian Kingdom. When they see that Qian Guo is at odds over these things, aren't they secretly laughing at us for being pedantic?

The emperor came down, supported the Queen Mother and comforted her: "Don't be angry, Queen Mother! Since Xiao Zizi holds the gold medal with the word 'Compassion', he should be different from other eunuchs, so he will give Xiao Zizi a seat as the Queen Mother said!"

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and followed him towards her seat: "Your Majesty is so filial, the Ai family has really not loved you in vain all these years!"

Then some servants moved the seats and placed them at the end of the hall.

After the Queen Mother sat down, she said with an unhappy look on her face: "Little Yezi is sitting so far away that the Ai family can't even see it. Come on, come on, put it next to the prince!"

Although the emperor and the prince looked unhappy, they did not want to argue anymore at this time. The seats are all arranged, how can we not place them according to her?

The one with the ugliest expression was Huang Shixian, who was standing behind the emperor.

He had been running the palace for many years, and outsiders said he had all the power in the palace. However, on this occasion, he could only stand beside the emperor and bow his head.

And the little eunuch was sitting and eating and drinking happily, and he was sitting right next to the prince. Although he was angry, he didn't dare to show it openly. After all, all his power relied on the emperor's favor. Once the emperor wanted to take it back, he would be worse than a dog.

Ye Qingchen sat down, right next to Nangong Feixue.

Nangong Feixue half-bited her lip, turned her head slightly, and glanced at him, only to see Ye Qingchen with an indifferent expression on his face, looking straight ahead.

She was slightly shocked. I couldn't control myself in this situation. If outsiders saw the way I looked at him, wouldn't it be giving someone a thumbs up?

I am a dignified princess, born in the royal family, and have been influenced by my mother-emperor since I was a child. I am still so unstable in my affairs, and the city is not as good as Mr. Ye!

The Queen Mother held up the wine glass with satisfaction, and everyone stood up to congratulate the Queen Mother on a long life, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, shaking the heaven and earth.

Drums and music played in unison, singing and dancing made peace, and people inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony exchanged drinks, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

After half an hour of feasting, the Queen Mother felt sleepy, so she asked everyone to continue having fun, and she took the eunuchs and maids accompanying her back to Cining Palace to rest.

The emperor also left with Huang Shixian and two Xuanjing guards.

After the Queen Mother and the Emperor left, the atmosphere became even more lively. Many royal relatives and courtiers came to toast the prince one after another, and the prince was overwhelmed.

Ye Qingchen turned his head slightly and nodded towards Nangong Feixue.

Nangong Feixue showed unconcealable nervousness and fear on her face.

Although she had been waiting for this moment for a long time, she still hesitated when it came to it.

It is conceivable that even ordinary people would inevitably have concerns about taking a pill that makes people vomit blood and fake death, let alone a princess who has been pampered since she was a child?

After taking this medicine, she will be unconscious and will no longer be able to resist. Your destiny will be entirely in the hands of the man next to you.

If you fail, you may never wake up!

This may be the most dangerous and severe test she has faced since she was a child.

Ye Qingchen saw her concerns, his eyes became gentle, and a smile appeared on his lips, giving her silent comfort and encouragement.

A trace of tears flashed in Nangong Feixue's eyes and she smiled back.

It was as if he had gained powerful strength from Ye Qingchen's extremely determined eyes. She looked around warily, lowered her head and resolutely stuffed the pill into her mouth.

Nangong Feiyu and Nangong Feiyan, who were sitting on the opposite side, also saw this scene, and their expressions suddenly became a little nervous.

After a while, Nangong Feixue frowned and clutched her chest, seemingly enduring great pain.

Ye Qingchen looked at her worriedly, feeling heartbroken. He could have made Nangong Feixue fall asleep in advance before vomiting blood so as to suffer less pain. But I thought that after all, I was acting in public, so the more realistic the performance, the better.

The pain she was suffering now was worth the freedom she was about to gain. After experiencing wind and rain, the rainbow will become more dazzling.

Suddenly, Nangong Feixue jumped forward, spit out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound.

"what!"

People at several nearby tables screamed at the same time.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Someone had already supported her.

"Sister Huang!" Nangong Feiyu and Nangong Feiyan rushed over immediately.

"Quickly, pass on to the imperial physician!"

There was chaos in the field.

The drunken prince looked at all this indifferently and smiled coldly.

……

Early the next morning, the eldest princess got the news. The Crown Princess was in a coma all night. The imperial doctor could not diagnose any problem and declared her to be incurable.

The eldest princess took Ye Qingchen and rushed towards the East Palace.

Before I even entered, I heard a lot of noise inside.

Nangong Feiyu yelled: "If the emperor's sister is not cured, Dachu will never let it go! Then the lives of both countries will be in ruins, and it will be your fault for ruining the country!"

Prince Xiao Qi said coldly: "His Royal Highness Nanling, can you be reasonable? You saw it last night, we have tried our best, but we are really helpless! I have not slept here all night, why are you still here?" What do you want?"

"You tried your best?" Nangong Feiyu said, "You just hired these quack doctors and you have the nerve to say you tried your best? Sister Huang is still angry now, do you just want to give up? Hurry up and find a better doctor. !”

The prince said: "Save it, the best doctor in Daqian is in the Imperial Hospital. Even they can't cure it, how can you still count on those charlatans among the people?"
