The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

Chapter 236 The Emperor’s Birthday Banquet

The hundreds of forbidden troops were dispersed into shops and workshops, and Li Yi chose one person to follow him as a servant.

The dormant leopard can strike at any time.

The Emperor's birthday banquet was extraordinarily grand, and the whole world celebrated it.

Early in the morning, Li Yi and Yun Niang got up, washed and dressed.

It is impossible to wear casual clothes when entering the palace. How can you be solemn?

After dressing up, they went to Sheng Mansion and set off with Sheng's father and others.

There are Xiangwu guards at the entrance of the palace to check to prevent anyone from bringing sharp knives into the palace.

After a series of procedures were completed, they were led to the Chengtai Hall. The seats had been set up, so they did not need to find their own seats. The palace officials would guide them to sit down.

Since it was a birthday banquet and the Second Emperor hadn't arrived yet, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Everyone talked and laughed, warming up the place.

After all, it is a birthday banquet, not the death of an emperor, so the atmosphere still needs to be there.

Otherwise, it would not be intentional to make the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor unhappy.

Tea, cakes, and fruits were placed on the table. Li Yi peeled a lychee and fed it to Yun Niang. Women's court clothes were more cumbersome than men's, especially the headdress, which looked heavier.

Yun Niang usually wears very casual clothes, with a few gold hairpins at most. Today's outfit is probably a torture every second.

"When we get back, I'll give you a squeeze." Li Yi whispered.

Yun Niang looked sideways at him and smiled. Her clothes and headgear were indeed heavy and she couldn't relax even a little bit, but having him care about her made her heart feel sweet.

"Why should we be familiar with them?"

A little further away from Li Yi, Wen Heng pulled Xu Jiaojiao and patted the back of Xu Jiaojiao's hand comfortingly.

The more he behaves like this, the more angry Xu Jiaojiao becomes. Which woman can tolerate her husband being bullied by others.

Looking at Wen Heng's handsome face, Xu Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. It was because Wen Heng's official position was not high enough that these people dared to ridicule him.

I must go back and ask my father, the son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister, how could he be bullied by others.

After taking a sip of tea, Wen Heng lowered his eyes. In the past, he disdained forming cliques for personal gain, but how could he succeed if he didn't have anyone at his disposal?

These days, he has changed his aloofness and never fails in any game where he should be socializing.

Even if he was a small official, Wen Heng did not look down upon him.

If there are too many ants, a tree can fall down.

The Right Prime Minister is the power he can take advantage of. At the beginning, he married Xu Jiaojiao with this purpose in mind, and it was really ridiculous to pretend and stand up.

"Taste it."

Wen Heng picked up a piece of pastry, held it in his hand, and brought it to Xu Jiaojiao's mouth with gentle eyes.

Men can be seduced by honey traps, and vice versa.

In Wen Heng's tenderness, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.

With such happiness, she has put Sheng Yun behind and no longer troubles her.

As long as this continues, the name Sheng Yun will no longer appear in front of Wen Heng, and he will always completely forget about that old relationship.

"Your Prime Minister has been cultivating his moral character recently."

Sitting at the front of the table, a man who looked like a middle-aged scribe raised his eyes and smiled.

"As I get older, my body is not as strong as the left prime minister. I always leave opportunities to young people." The right prime minister smiled at him.

"It would be great if that was really the case." The middle-aged scribe sipped his tea with a hint or two of meaning in his eyes.

The two of them were chatting like normal people, but the sharpness in their words made the atmosphere less relaxed and leisurely.

As the eunuch sang, everyone stood up and saluted the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor who came over.

Taking a sneak peek, Li Yi lowered his head. The old man looked square, but his heart was so sinister.

After the two emperors, Princess Xiangyu wore a palace dress and had a beautiful face, but her face had no expression, not even the slightest detail. Looking at it this way, she was indeed favored.

Even though the prince stood aside, she and the second emperor were the only ones who could receive the courtesy from all the officials.

The two emperors took their seats one after another, and the emperor raised his hand lightly, "No need to be polite. Today is the His Majesty's birthday banquet. All your beloved ministers can drink as much as they want without being constrained by etiquette."

The corner of Li Yi's mouth curled up slightly, believing him to be a ghost, it was just a conversation, he really lost his etiquette, maybe he would be a guest in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are in place, and the next step is for hundreds of officials to come to congratulate the Supreme Emperor on his birthday.

Create a harmonious and happy scene between the king and his ministers.

In this regard, all of them are human beings. In other words, their beauty is as beautiful as a rainbow, and Li Yi feels ashamed.

After all the officials have congratulated them on their birthday, the next step should be the singing and dancing at the banquet.

But the emperor took out a painting for all the officials to appreciate. Li Yi was quite familiar with that painting.

In order to let the jade sculpture paint this picture, Li Yi used all the ideas he could, and he just had to sell himself.

The Emotional Emperor was prepared for the Supreme Emperor's birthday.

Glancing at Princess Xiangyu above, Li Yi had to say that this woman was really pathetic.

What the Supreme Emperor did, but the sin was forced upon her. A wake-up call ruined all the good things in her life.

Even though this was the case, the royal family still didn't forget to squeeze out her value.

They made Princess Xiangyu conspicuous and outstanding. In this way, no need to say anything, others knew how remorseful the royal family was for what happened back then.

The girls who did not like the good ones were all used to atone for their sins.

The paintings that Princess Xiangyu was forced to paint in the past were kept by the emperor in the library. According to rumors, the emperor often secretly wiped tears in them, feeling very distressed.

With a black-hearted father and a good acting brother, it’s no wonder that Princess Xiangyu turned into a jade sculpture.

This world is really colorless.

The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were each wiser than the other. The Supreme Emperor's reputation could not be cleansed, so he was too lazy to spend the effort and just kept sharpening his sword.

Anyway, my son is there to block it.

The emperor was even more sinister. He basically let the Supreme Emperor do his evil deeds, while he stayed behind and played the red face.

The Emperor is ruthless, unjust, cold-blooded and vicious. This is all his own. The Emperor is a kind and wise king, but his power is insufficient and his will is weak, so he cannot stop the Emperor's butcher knife.

He is such a wise man! This is the perception of the people.

After all, there is no way to know the inside story, we can only look at the created personality.

Although they think that the Supreme Emperor is crazy and criticizes the unjust, at least the Emperor is good. In the future, as long as the Supreme Emperor is killed and the Emperor is in power, it will be fine.

With this mentality, people think that they can touch the sun through the canyon. They can tolerate it and will not fall into despair.

In such a situation, the rebellious spirit will most likely be suppressed, and the crowd will not gather to revolt and rise up.

The two father and son both fight and cooperate.

Especially externally, their hearts are actually very consistent.

If the emperor tried his best to stop it, how could he not be able to stop the Supreme Emperor? It's just a meaning.

Faced with everyone's gaze, Princess Xiangyu just behaved well and played her role.

She didn't like the excitement, but every time it was lively, the emperor would take her to experience it.

What she touched was not fire, but the cold that penetrated her bones again and again until she could no longer feel it.

The paintings that the emperor allowed to see were not good even if they were good, and all the ministers praised them.

Looking at Princess Xiangyu, everyone felt a little pity. It was a pity for such a talented, talented and beautiful person.

"Xiang Yu is more thoughtful than me and has prepared preparations for my father's birthday gift in advance. In addition to this painting, there is also..."

The emperor spoke to himself, with a smile on his face, just like an elder brother showing off his younger sister.

The Supreme Emperor's eyes were moist and he looked very moved.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes. Today's meal has turned off his appetite.

Princess Xiangyu was the only one in the audience. She had no expression from beginning to end. No matter what you say, we are not in the same world and cannot hear it.

"Look at me, I forgot the time again."

After talking for a while, the emperor knocked on his head and asked the eunuch to put the painting away. There was a sadness in his eyes that a blind man could feel.

"Have a banquet!"

Following the emperor's order, the maids came in one after another carrying dishes.

Singing and dancing also took place.

Produced by the royal family, well, it was of a higher grade than what Song Cao showed him.

While everyone was immersed in it, a eunuch hurriedly walked to the emperor and whispered in the ear. The smile on the emperor's face disappeared instantly. He slammed the table and stood up.

The dancing girls immediately fell to their knees in fear.

All the officials looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

For a moment, there was silence in the hall.

The Supreme Emperor frowned, "Emperor, why are you so angry?"

"Go back."

The emperor waved the dancing girl away, then looked at the officials, "All the ministers, please come back too."

"I'm waiting to retire."

The emperor issued an order to expel guests. They would not be greedy for the food on the table. In half an hour, all the ministers in the palace dispersed.

I was speculating in my mind as to what happened outside to cause the emperor to have such a big reaction.

"Father, all the people you sent have been sent back, and Daqian's envoys are outside the palace." The emperor's voice was condensed, "I said it was a gift for you, and I asked you to receive it in person."

The Emperor's face darkened, "How brave!"

"Do you need to tell me this? Just kill him."

"I'm afraid it won't work." The emperor shook his head, "A hundred thousand troops united with the Rong Kingdom are pressing towards Fengdu Ridge. I'm afraid they are just waiting for us to give them a reason to fight."

"They really dare." The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes, murderous intent surging.

The Rong Kingdom has been severely damaged and there is no need to worry about it, but Daqian, they also have gunpowder. If they want to break the pot, they will lose both sides. In the end, I don’t know who will get the advantage.

This would lead to a war, which is really not a wise move.

The Supreme Emperor overturned the table and walked away with his sleeves thrown away.

"Brother Zhao, do you think the King of Chu will come to receive birthday gifts? We worked hard to send people back to him, and everyone is still angry."

At the gate of the palace and in front of the prison car, the four guards looked at the Xiangwu guards surrounding them with a smile, and one of them spoke out.

"It doesn't matter whether he takes it or not, we just follow the mission. It's not our shame anyway." Another guard answered and spat.

"I can't yell anymore, Yaozi, it's your turn to take over."

"I've been missing out on you along the way, so why are you so weak?"

The man who was called Yaozi tilted his eyes at his companion with contempt, and took a deep breath, "I would like to congratulate the Grand Emperor of Chu on his birthday, and I would like to offer you a birthday gift. You are despicable, but we are kind, and we have sent all the people back to you. "

"No need to thank me, the master told me to use whatever tricks you have."

"We give you this birthday gift every year!"

The people were surrounded by Xiangwu guards, but the sound could not be isolated, especially these middle-aged men. The sound was like a loud bell, making it impossible for people to pretend not to hear it.
