Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua
Chapter 374: The Hongmen Banquet at the Yangxin Palace
"Yes, Madam, I just saw that the scene outside was really huge."
Just now, Huanbi was watching the excitement from a distance and took a quick look.
It was a truly lively scene, and one could tell at a glance how much the Emperor favored Concubine Hua.
But when Zhen Huan heard the news, she felt a little disappointed.
"Is it possible that the Emperor has really forgotten me?"
Zhen Huan was talking to herself, and no one knew who she was talking to. Huanbi was looking out the window and didn't notice Zhen Huan's emotions.
"My dear, how could that be? The Emperor will definitely be thinking of you."
Liuzhu noticed Zhen Huan's mood and spoke words of comfort.
However, Zhen Huan didn't want to think too much about it now. She just waited until it was over and then went to Yikun Palace to congratulate Concubine Hua.
But when the Queen Mother learned about this situation, she became a little worried.
"I don't know whether the emperor's plan will succeed. I am really worried. I just have to be sorry for Shilan."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother coughed twice and sighed.
She was really worried. After all, Nian Gengyao held military power, and it would not be easy for the emperor to deal with him.
Although the matter is difficult to deal with, Nian Gengyao's power is growing stronger and stronger. If he is not eliminated now, he will become a disaster in the future.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven. He will be fine."
Zhuxi comforted him from the side.
"I know that, but I know that the emperor is not happy sitting on the throne. But who would like to see the power transferred to others? I worry about this and that every day."
"You don't have to worry about this, Queen Mother. The Emperor will know what to do."
Zhuxi has followed the empress dowager for her entire life, so naturally, she doesn't want to see the empress dowager worrying about these things for the emperor at her old age.
After hearing Zhuxi's words, the Queen Mother said nothing. She just sighed and went to bed.
The emperor had already prepared a celebration banquet for Nian Gengyao in the Yangxin Palace.
But it would be more accurate to call it the Hongmen Banquet rather than a celebration banquet. This meal was carefully arranged for Nian Gengyao.
Nian Shilan knew that a lot of trouble had occurred in the previous life because of this meal, so she had already given all the instructions on the way.
But it is not known whether Nian Gengyao had forgotten what Nian Shilan said or he did it on purpose, because when they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, before the emperor sat down, Nian Gengyao had already sat down.
But seeing this, Nian Shilan could still give a slight reminder: "Brother."
Nian Shilan spoke in a somewhat coquettish tone.
Turning around, he saw that his sister was unhappy, so Nian Gengyao stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, all right."
Seeing Nian Gengyao's attitude, Nian Shilan gave up.
"Don't be shy, we are a family."
The emperor also noticed Nian Gengyao's actions, so he said this. Maybe Nian Gengyao couldn't hear it, but Nian Shilan knew that this was a test from the emperor.
Although the emperor said this, Nian Shilan noticed that every look he gave his brother was full of calculations.
"Although the emperor said so, he is still the emperor after all, and my brother is still a subject. We should first discuss the relationship between the emperor and his subjects, and then the relationship between the brothers."
Nian Shilan answered first because she was afraid that her brother would say something inappropriate.
After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the emperor smiled slightly, which looked better than before.
Although we have passed this hurdle now, there is no telling what tests the Emperor may make next.
The imperial kitchen served a dish, roasted lamb.
There were three portions in total, which were placed in front of the emperor, Nian Gengyao, and Nian Shilan respectively.
Since Nian Gengyao was a meritorious minister, the emperor naturally had to give him enough face. At the same time, he was also testing whether he was really ignorant of the rules and usurped the throne as rumored outside.
"This roasted lamb is my favorite dish. My dear, you should try it too."
After the emperor finished speaking, he deliberately did not pick up his chopsticks, just to see how Nian Gengyao would react.
But as a military general, how could Nian Gengyao understand the etiquette of civil officials?
Having been on the battlefield for many years, he naturally didn't care about details. Since he heard the emperor say so, he did just that.
He picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth, and at the same time, he gradually took away the emperor's patience.
"elder brother."
Seeing this, Nian Shilan quickly called out again.
Looking at Nian Shilan's expression, Nian Gengyao knew that he had made his sister angry again.
I know my sister. She has been clamoring to marry the current emperor since she was a child. Now that her wish has come true, the emperor's reputation is related to my sister's mood.
This is because my brother, as a military general, has been away from home all year round and has probably forgotten the palace etiquette long ago.
I am a rough person, and although I have tried my best, I still don’t know how to make my sister happy.
"I have been disrespectful, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Seeing Nian Gengyao like this, Nian Shilan felt a little relieved, but she didn't know whether the emperor would still mind.
In fact, Nian Shilan was not afraid that the emperor would be unhappy because of her brother's disrespect for etiquette, but was just afraid that it would cost her brother's life.
I have had the best relationship with my brother since childhood. I already had regrets in my previous life, but I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes in this life.
"Get up. You have made great achievements in the war. You don't have to follow the rules in a remote and cold place. Now that you suddenly come back, it's inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable."
This time, the emperor didn't care.
Immediately, a dish of duck soup was served.
"This duck soup is also good and delicious. The one made in Shilan's Yikun Palace is the best."
The emperor spoke slowly, waiting to see how Nian Gengyao would perform.
But Nian Gengyao just thought that eating was eating, so he didn't think about it too much and naturally didn't know how to do it.
In a hurry, he glanced at Nian Shilan. Although she glared at him, Nian Gengyao still didn't know what his sister wanted to say.
But Nian Gengyao also knew that he should not pick up his chopsticks: "Your Majesty, please go first."
When these words were spoken, the emperor's expression obviously improved a lot, and Nian Shilan also relaxed a lot.
In fact, Nian Shilan had thought about it all. It didn't matter whether her brother flattered the emperor or not. She would be thankful as long as she didn't ask Su Peisheng to pick food for him.
Maybe it was because I often gave instructions to my brother in this life, so he was much more restrained than in the previous life.
But my brother is easy to change, but it is the emperor who is unpredictable.
The Emperor hasn't mentioned a word about the memorial I submitted last night. I don't know what he is thinking.
