On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

There were already dozens of eyes in the hall looking over.

Some were surprised, some laughed...

Xiao Ding glanced over, his eyes filled with coldness. Those gossips quickly looked away and lowered their heads.

You can't afford to offend people.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet." Ning Luo smiled and poured wine for Xiao Ding: "Your Majesty, let's quench our thirst first."

Xiao Ding nodded and just raised his glass and took a sip.

The eldest prince Kang Wang whom he met in front of the palace gate came into the palace. The princes and princesses stood up again to salute and call out.

"Brother Wang."

King Kang gently waved his jade fan, with a spring-breathing smile on his face: "Sit down, no need to salute."

He didn't seem to care about the respect.

He Shi Shiran walked to the table opposite the Sixth Prince, King Chu, sat down and poured wine by himself.

Instead, King Chu poured himself a glass of wine, stood up and walked towards him, raising his glass in a toast. The two chatted casually while drinking.

At this time, the emperor and the prince have not arrived, and the highest-ranking people in the palace are the eldest prince, King Kang, the sixth prince, King Chu, and the fourth prince, King Zhan.

The princes knew that the King of War had been poisoned by a poison that could not be cured. He was still in bad shape, and they no longer held the grudge against him that they had in the past.

His eyes looked at King Kang and King Chu from time to time.

However, after King Chu finished his toast, he poured another glass and walked towards King War's table.

"Fourth brother, let me toast you too."

"Have your feet been feeling better recently?"

The War King raised his glass and took a symbolic sip with a cold expression. There seemed to be no desire to speak.

King Chu looked at Ning Luo awkwardly. He wanted to call his fourth sister-in-law, but when he saw her bright face, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He just nodded to her, turned back to his seat, and drank a few drinks. .

Ning Luo looked over suspiciously.

She was depressed and frustrated, probably because her status as imperial concubine was no longer guaranteed.

Sure enough, mother and son both prospered and suffered losses.

Xiao Ding reached out his hand in displeasure and turned Ning Luo's little face towards him.

"See no evil."

Ning Luo chuckled: "Yes."

"The Emperor has arrived! The Prince has arrived!"

The announcement from the eunuch Zhang Eunuch came from the back of the palace.

All the princes and princesses immediately stood up, saluted respectfully, and shouted together.

"Long live my father!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!"

Ning Luo looked up and saw a group of people walking out from behind the screen.

At the head is the emperor in dragon robe, followed by the prince and princess, and behind them are the concubines.

There were also several eunuchs and maids serving closely.

The emperor walked slowly towards the high seat, his face solemn and majestic.

"Sit down." The emperor said calmly.

After the emperor took his seat on the high throne, the prince and the princess sat down on his lower left side.

Several other concubines followed and sat down on the lower right side.

There was no trace of the imperial concubine Wang Ru, so the boils on her face were probably not healed yet.

After receiving the permission, the princes and princesses sat down after bowing.

There were a few who looked longingly at the supreme emperor, hoping that their father would recognize them and give them a compliment.

The emperor had too many children. From birth to adulthood, the emperor had only hugged some of them in person, and only a handful of them had met in private.

As children, in addition to longing for father's love, they also hope to be favored and treated by the king.

The princes and princesses whom the emperor valued had different statuses, rewards, and expenses.

What's more, there are still people coveting the East Palace.

Of course, the emperor would also act like a loving father on such occasions.

At this time, with a slight smile in his eyes, he glanced around the children in the hall.

He paused for a moment on the King of War and the Princess of War, and said in a gentle tone:

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival family dinner is a rare gathering, so you don't have to be too formal."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

But the emperor had not moved his chopsticks yet, and no one moved.

The imperial maid prepared dishes and poured wine for the emperor in an orderly manner.

There was also a palm-fanning maid who was fanning behind the emperor in a hurry.

It was a scorching summer day and it was hot outside. There were many ice cubes placed in the four corners of the hall, but no one felt warm.

The emperor held his chopsticks leisurely and took a bite of the dish.

"Eat."

"Yes."

The prince picked up the chopsticks first, followed by the prince and concubines, followed by the prince and princess.

There was no words to eat, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.

Fortunately, within a few moments, a female music official came into the palace to play music, sing and dance, and everyone felt much more relaxed.

The emperor took a bite of the rice dumplings peeled by the palace maid, and looked at the table of King War again.

At this time, King War was peeling off a rice dumpling with his slender fingers and put it calmly into Princess War's plate.

Princess Zhan smiled sweetly at him, her eyebrows gentle.

The emperor was surprised that a rough man like King Zhan could love a woman.

However, the princess was dressed gorgeously today, and her appearance was better than that of the concubines in the harem.

Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty, and it seems that the king of war is no more than this.

Thinking of this, the emperor smiled slightly.

When a person is about to die, if he knows how to enjoy himself in time, he will have no regrets.

The princess noticed the emperor's gaze, touched the prince lightly with her hand under the table, and pursed her lips in the direction of the war king.

The prince also looked over.

His eyes paused on Princess Zhan's face, and then she picked up some vegetables with chopsticks and put them on the Princess's plate.

"Eat."

The princess had no interest in eating food at all and whispered: "I want to say that she is very arrogant..."

"Can't food stop you?" The prince glared at her coldly.

This Princess Zhan, she still owed her a favor, so naturally she didn't think she was hateful.

Even cute.

In addition, the unscrupulous King of War looked somewhat respectable.

The Crown Princess flattened her mouth angrily and said no more.

After a song and dance.

As soon as Ning Luo was half full, the sixth prince stood up and said to the emperor:

"Father, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I have prepared a small gift to present to my father."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest prince also stood up.

"Father, I have also prepared gifts for you."

Then other princes and princesses also stood up and presented gifts.

The emperor smiled slightly: "Send them all over."

The eunuch took the boxes of gifts and opened them for the emperor to see.

Most of these gifts are jade jewelry, thousand-year-old ginseng, coral and the like.

The emperor looked at it lightly and nodded: "I accept your filial piety."

Seeing that Princess Zhan did not offer a gift, Lan Zhaoyi reminded her in a low voice: "Princess, didn't you also prepare a gift?"

"No rush." ​​Ning Luo took another bite of food, finished it, took a sip of wine, and then didn't get up.

She looked at the emperor quietly with a pure and kind smile.

A bit silly.

The King of War frowned and tried to turn her face away again, but the Emperor spoke.

"Does Princess Zhan also have a gift to give?"

"My daughter-in-law does have a gift that she wants to give to her father, but she's just afraid that she won't be able to get it." Ning Luo stood up cautiously.

Who can't act?

She was ready to put on a good show of filial piety.
