Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

"I am thinking that when the Laba Palace banquet is held, the family members of the concubines can come to the banquet to show His Majesty's grace and relieve the sisters from missing their families. What do you think, husband?"

Except for the empress, the concubines and the emperor's heirs, those who could enter the Laba Palace banquet, that is, a few of Emperor Yinde's most important courtiers could bring their families. Su Qingyao's words made Emperor Yinde feel very reasonable.

Let the concubines and family members meet, and the courtiers can also see their daughters or sisters. Naturally, they are thinking of his grace so that they can serve him well in the previous court.

"Yao'er said that. Naturally, I have no objection. You can arrange this matter." Emperor Yinde patted Su Qingyao's hand and saw Li Fuhai and the palace people serving dinner in the palace.

Emperor Yinde suddenly felt that something was wrong and a little quiet in Fengyi Palace today.

"Xiao Rui is not in the palace?" If Cheng Rui was here, how could it be so quiet?

"He's studying." Su Qingyao showed a proud smile on her face, "I asked Shu'er to look at him."

Children all know that Cheng Rui doesn't like reading and practicing calligraphy. Cheng Jue was really able to control him before when he was still in Fengyi Palace.

Now that Chengjue has gone to Yuxiu Palace, Yun Shu has taken over her brother Chengjue's class and is responsible for supervising Chengrui's homework every night, so as not to make the tutor angry if he fails to learn anything the next day.

But Chengrui really doesn't have any interest in Wen Chuchen's homework. He often writes his homework until almost midnight, while Su Qingyao or Yun Shu is watching him. If not, he might stay up even later. Or simply don’t write about going to the Master’s room the next day to piss off the master.

Su Qingyao also knew that her youngest son didn't like this very much. She didn't expect him to have any high attainments in literature. At the very least, he had to finish the homework left by his tutor, no matter how late every day.

Emperor Yinde checked Chengrui's memorization of ancient poems and found that it was indeed not good, but he could still memorize it reluctantly.

After all, he was still a three-year-old baby, so Emperor Yin De didn't say much.

Su Qingyao and Emperor Yinde came to the side hall together, and saw Chengrui sitting in front of the desk, feeling so bitter and resentful that he didn't know what he was writing with a brush.

Suddenly he lost his concentration, and when he looked up, he saw his father and mother looking at him at the door.

Then he had to put down his brush and go over to act coquettishly. Yun Shu pressed his shoulders hard and sat on the chair. "You are not allowed to leave this chair until you finish today's homework."

Yun Shu then smiled at Su Qingyao and Emperor Yin De, and gestured to them not to let them come in and disturb Cheng Rui's study.

"Let's go." Seeing this, Emperor Yinde took Su Qingyao's hand and left the side hall.

"Why are you gone?" Cheng Rui seemed to have seen the savior, but he was so disappointed that the savior was gone again. He pouted, and saw his sister's look like she was about to hit him, so he had to continue writing his homework honestly.

As he wrote, he muttered, "I'm not even allowed to eat dinner, I'm going to starve to death."

In a blink of an eye, the day of Laba Festival came.

Thanks to the grace of His Majesty and the Queen, the families of the concubines can enter the palace for the banquet today. It is naturally a good thing to be able to meet relatives.

It is really a blessing for the emperor and his ministers to enjoy themselves together in Jinse Hall.

Nowadays, the world of Wanjin is peaceful and the seas and rivers are clear. Regular banquets like this can better demonstrate the national prestige.

"I bring my brothers and sisters to toast my father and mother, and wish my father long live, and my mother a thousand years." After three rounds of drinking, Yi'an, the eldest child of Emperor Yinde, brought his own The younger brothers and sisters, as well as their betrothed husband Shixian, stood in a row under the golden steps and toasted Emperor Yinde and Queen Su Qingyao who were sitting at the top.

"An'an, your injury has just healed, so drink less, you know?" Su Qingyao warned.

When the children reached the age of ten, they could drink at palace banquets. Su Qingyao was afraid that Yi'an would be greedy for drinks today, so she gave her some extra instructions.

"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother." Yi'an smiled sweetly at Su Qingyao, and her every move was very polite.

After the emperor's heirs finished toasting to the empress, Yi'an took Ruoyan's little hand and sent her to Concubine De's table first, and then he sat down on the table.

This was the first palace banquet after Yi'an and Shixu were granted marriage. The two people sitting together naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

But Chengjue was also making a fuss today. He raised his glass and said to Yi An and Shi Xu, "Sister An An, brother, here's a drink to you and Xiao Xu."

"The Queen just told me, Sister An An, to stop drinking." Shi Xu came to protect Yi An, but she didn't even give Cheng Jue face.

"You don't know how to drink fruit wine? Sister An'an, right?" Chengjue smiled, and he had to respect the wine today.

Yi'an smiled, she would not give Chengjue face, she just raised her own and the three of them drank it down.

With Chengjue taking the lead, other children also came over to toast Yi'an and Shixian. For a while, Yi'an's table became the most lively place in the entire banquet.

Emperor Yinde and Queen Su Qingyao naturally didn't care. After all, this would make the banquet lively.

Yun Shu and Yi An were still arguing, insisting on having another drink, but Shi Xu and Cheng Jue on the other side discovered that Wang Cai and her brother Mr. Wang had quietly gone out just now.

"Have you sent someone to follow?" Shixian asked quietly.

Chengjue replied softly, "It's all arranged, don't worry."

As expected, Chengjue guessed it right. Wang Cai and her brother Wang Sheng left Jinse Hall one after another and talked in a small corner of the imperial garden.

"You just kept winking at your brother at the banquet. What happened?" Wang Sheng asked, with a bit of displeasure in his tone.

Wang Cairen looked around and saw that there was indeed no one around, so he whispered, "What else can happen? It's Xiao Zhuo's business. How's it going?"

"Looking at Shangguan Shixu's proud look just now, those who didn't know would have thought that he and Princess Ning Le were already married." Wang Cairen said bluntly, his tone showing contempt for the Shangguan family.

Wang Sheng sighed heavily and said, "Can you please stop doing such stupid things? Now the young master of the Shangguan family and Princess Ning Le have been granted marriage by His Majesty's decree. I heard that it was His Majesty's initiative to make the decree. Do you think it would be really good if Xiao Zhuo did something else?"

"Then you have to give it a try." Wang Cairen curled his lips, and his grievances immediately came to his heart, "When I entered the palace, my status was low, and your official position was not high, so I could only grant you a title. Is it wrong for me to want to rely on my own family to climb up the ladder?"

"Besides, if this thing comes to pass, it won't just be me who will benefit, but our Wang family will also benefit, won't we?"

"But once this matter is discovered, what can we do? Being scolded by His Majesty is the lightest punishment." Wang Sheng reminded me.
