After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Seeing that Ning'er looked strange, Lu Kui hurriedly said to Chu Yue and Lou Rui, "Brother Chu, Miss Lou, let's go ahead." He half-supported and half-helped her to sit down in a small pavilion.

He personally asked the maid who served tea for a cup of cold tea and brought it to Ning'er's mouth. She drank it in one gulp and felt a little more sober.

Lu Kui looked at Ning'er worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Is it serious?"

She shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just..." Ning'er took a deep breath and whispered: "I always thought that Ling Wei was the second son of the Rui Palace."

Lu Kui seemed stunned by this, and after a long while he stuttered, "You, how could you think so?"

Your Majesty, Chu Yue... Lu Kui didn't know what to say for a moment. Is the kid from Prince Rui's family worthy of it?

Ning Er smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. It was all due to some mistakes. I almost made a fool of myself in front of Chu Yue."

Lu Kui hesitated again and again, but still did not take the initiative to speak, and just comforted her: "What's the big deal? Not to mention that he is just the unfavored second son of King Rui, even if he is the crown prince of King Rui, it is not something we cannot afford to offend."

Ning'er whispered, "I was rude first. How can I blame others?" She thought about it and swallowed the words she was about to say. Anyway, she could see Lingwei today. If it really didn't work out, she could just ask him herself then.

She suddenly thought of something and said to herself, "So, the one who is going to discuss marriage with Sister Lin is Chu Yue?" No wonder the Prince of Qinnan County joked that he was about to discuss marriage, but she was so dull.

Lu Kui had sharp ears and heard everything clearly: "Discussing marriage? Are you talking about Lin Shiqi's daughter?" This question happened to be in line with his recent assignment. Without waiting for Ning'er to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Indeed, Lin Shiqi intends to form a marriage with the Rui Palace, and the target is his eldest daughter Lin Ruozhan and the second son Chu Yue of the palace."

"I see." Ning'er couldn't tell how she felt in her heart. She had worried for so long in vain. It turned out that she had completely "put the wrong name on someone else's head".

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Lu Kui deliberately led her to talk a few more words, and said with a smile: "Looking back, the first time I met you was at the Lin family's house. It seems that you have a good relationship with Miss Lin."

Ning Er said, "Sister Lin has a straightforward personality, and it's easy to get along with her. But on the day when the Lin Mansion and the Rui Wang Mansion were discussing marriage, she asked me to accompany her, and I agreed at that time."

Lu Kui's mind was as quick as lightning, and he immediately figured out the cause and effect. He laughed softly and said, "Master, you don't think that Lin Ruozhen wants to discuss marriage with the master, do you?"

If His Majesty knew this, he would probably be so wronged that he would vomit blood.

With a "swish", Ning Er spread out her folding fan to cover her face: "Stop laughing at me. You are not allowed to tell him about this."

Lu Kui pushed her up and said, "It's windy now. Let's not sit in the wind. Let's find a quiet place to hide."

At some point, the noisy crowd in the garden had already fallen silent, leaving only the servants and maids with solemn expressions shuttling back and forth.

At this time, outside the stone archway at the entrance of Fu Garden, Princess Linping and Duke Ying had already led people a mile away to welcome the emperor. As the matter happened suddenly and time was very urgent, everyone had no time to dress up and could only wear banquet clothes and anxiously wait for the emperor to come.

First there was a steady sound of horse hooves, solemn and crisp, and teams of capable guards wearing red robes and brocade clothes and equipped with swords and bows came galloping over.

In the distance, the sound of cloud gongs, dragon flutes, music shengs, and bronze drums gradually rose. The most eye-catching things in the winding procession of ceremonial guards were the five-colored golden dragon banners, the double-dragon yellow round fans, and the yellow nine-dragon umbrellas. Lou Qi counted them one by one with a suspenseful heart. Only when he saw the nine-dragon yellow satin curved-handle canopy umbrella did he breathe a sigh of relief and whispered to the princess, "Your Highness, His Majesty is so merciful that he only used half of the ceremonial guards."

Lin Ping nodded slightly, until she saw the bright yellow sedan chair slowly approaching, she held her breath and bowed deeply.

The chariot was made entirely of fragrant wood and was decorated with coiled dragon patterns everywhere. Curtains embroidered with bright yellow satin and golden dragons hung down, and gauze covered the windows on both sides, making people dare not peek at the emperor sitting on the coiled dragon throne.

The wedding sedan chair carried by sixteen people sailed into Fu Garden as smoothly as a boat sailing into the vast water. Everyone bowed their heads as the sedan chair passed by, without a single unnecessary sound.

As the beads swayed, they bumped into each other, making low, crisp sounds, as if someone was pulling aside a bead curtain and examining everyone from top to bottom.

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled slightly and said, "Why should I be so polite, sister? Please stand up."

Lin Ping acted as if he had heard an imperial decree, and hurriedly bowed again, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Then a pair of eunuchs dressed in scarlet dragon robes with gold inlays came down and personally helped Lin Ping to stand up.

He then bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, Your Majesty, His Majesty has issued an order," he said in a long voice, "You all don't need to be so polite, the banquet will go on as usual, and don't disturb your elegant mood because of me."

When the carriage reached the right position, the emperor knelt down and invited the emperor to get off the carriage and take the seat. Everyone bowed down again and shouted "Long live the emperor": "We respectfully welcome the emperor and thank the Lord for his great grace——"

The commotion was so loud that, regardless of whether they had left the garden to welcome the emperor or not, everyone in the garden faced the place where the huge yellow dragon banner stood, knelt and kowtowed, and chanted "Long live the emperor".

Ning Er turned her head to look over there, and exclaimed, "What a big commotion! Is this His Majesty's procession? It's much more grand than the eldest princess's procession back then."

Lu Kui smiled when he heard this: "How can the princess compare to Your Majesty? It's just that Your Majesty is calm and reserved, doesn't like to show off, and doesn't want to trouble the people, so he rarely goes out. Today, he only used half of the ceremonial guards. It can be said that it is extremely simple and plain."

Ning Er smiled and said, "It seems that the simplicity of the royal family is not what I thought it was. But now that Your Majesty is here, can the princess' banquet still be held?"

She gently fiddled with the clusters of crabapples in bloom in front of her. The tender green leaves surrounded the numerous flowers, and the rouge-like buds were dotted among the pink petals, making them look more graceful, charming and gorgeous.

"Why can't it bloom?" Lu Kui reached out and broke off a crabapple and handed it to Ning'er: "This is how it should be considered a grand event."

Ning Er asked angrily, "Why are you always so cruel to me?"

Lu Kui smiled lazily and said, "Keep it, you can give it to the master later." He stood up and patted his robe skirt. "It seems that the banquet has started. You want to see the female guests, let's go over and take a look."

Ning'er was wearing men's clothes, but she was holding a beautiful crabapple in her hand. She felt a little awkward. As she walked, she muttered, "His Majesty is here. How can we sit in the main pavilion?"

The pavilions and terraces where the main banquet was held were already surrounded by guards. The eldest princess and Lou Qi personally escorted Emperor Zhaoyuan to the main seat in the main pavilion. Palace servants had already arranged the throne, screens, and other items in the pavilion.

Lou Qi spoke carefully through the screen: "Your Majesty, do you think we should ask everyone to come up to see you?"

It is rare for His Majesty to use the ceremonial procession today. According to etiquette, they should strictly abide by the royal rules and have all those with titles and imperial edicts, starting from the eldest princess, pay their respects in turn.

But the emperor's temperament has always been intolerant of these red tapes. Today he only wore a very low-key ochre-yellow round-necked uniform, with dragons on his shoulders and a gold dragon-bead crown. At first glance, he did not look like the emperor, but rather like the richest and most leisurely young man in the world.

Emperor Zhaoyuan whispered a few words to Wu Shilu, then he turned the screen and said to the Princess and Ying Gong: "Your Majesty, please ask His Highness to hold a banquet and summon the Shen, Luo, and Zhu families to come to the audience."
