After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly: "Don't you think Miss Su is cute?"

Chun Ning followed her line of sight and saw Su Qing being given a seat by the eldest princess. Although she was still confused, she was not panicked or uneasy.

The three children gathered together, whispering something.

Perhaps it is because she is well-read and has a refined temperament. Although Su Qing's family background and appearance are not as good as other noble ladies, her talent and knowledge are real.

However, the Su family has always been low-key and did not help her become famous in Beijing.

She has something in her belly, so she won't be afraid even in front of the prince or princess.

Qin Yaoguang knew this very well.

If she had not been so talented, how could she have written a manifesto denouncing the eldest princess in every word at the execution ground in the original book?

You have to know that at that time, Su Qing was only two years older than he is now.

Chun Ning looked at it for a moment and nodded: "My sister is right."

When Su Qing sat among a group of noble ladies, it was not obvious.

At this moment, Chun Ning liked her more and more.

I don’t know whether Su Qing is a good child or because the princess likes him so she loves him as well.

Qin Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief.

Why did she suddenly promote Su Qing?

The answer is very simple, it is because of the sudden strong emotion that arises in my heart.

She should have guessed correctly that the original owner felt deeply guilty towards Su Qing.

Sure enough, after she spoke up to help Su Qing, the depression that had been lingering in her heart disappeared without a trace.

This made her wonder in what form the original owner existed in her body.

Could it be that after the original owner died, she found herself living in a book and became a vicious cannon fodder female supporting role to serve as a stepping stone for Zhou Qinghe?

So you suddenly realize your mistake and want to make up for your regrets?

But this doesn't make sense.

When he saw Zhou Qinghe, he did not immediately feel hatred for her life.

Qin Yaoguang pressed his brows and decided to put aside this difficult problem for the time being.

In short, since making amends to Su Qing could make the original owner feel at ease, she would make amends.

Maybe I can find another opportunity to interact more with the Su family and take the chance to meet Su Ziyu, the most direct victim.

If her speculation was correct, the original owner should feel more guilty towards Su Ziyu.

The birthday celebration in the greenhouse was lively and exciting.

Seeing the budding children and the dazzling array of birthday gifts, the Empress Dowager was always in a good mood.

It was the happiest day since the sudden death of the old lady of the Cui family.

Qin Yaoguang and Chun Ning stayed with her all the time, and Queen Xie would go to arrange the birthday banquet in the evening from time to time.

The Empress Dowager looked at Qin Yaoguang with a smile: "Leyang, do you have to wait until the evening for your birthday gift?"

All the birthday gifts for the concubines and ladies in the palace have been presented.

Including Chunning, who presented a jade statue of Guanyin as if it were a treasure.

The jade is soft, delicate and transparent. What is even more rare is the excellent craftsmanship. The compassionate expression of Guanyin Bodhisattva is carved into the wood to the point that when you look at it, you will have a sense of tranquility as if you are bathed in Buddha's light.

The Queen Mother liked it very much.

Qin Yaoguang smiled mysteriously: "Mother, if you don't want to wait, I will offer it to you now."

She wanted to present the "Eight Immortals Celebrating a Birthday" at a more grand birthday banquet in the evening, in front of all the civil and military officials.

Qin Yaoguang knew in her heart that in ancient times when there was no television or the Internet, it was not easy to clear her previous bad reputation.

Here, you can only rely on word of mouth.

With the Wanmin Building, she helped many people during the hailstorm and set up a ten-day porridge factory to rescue refugees, gaining a certain reputation among the people.

However, this may not be the case in the court.

People's stereotypes cannot be reversed overnight.

Especially those who hold great power, they rely more on existing experience to judge a person.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was very grand and solemn, and it was a perfect opportunity.

At the very least, she wanted to evoke their past memories in front of the civil and military officials - Le Yang was originally an eldest princess who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Qin Yaoguang is sure that once the painting "Eight Immortals Celebrating a Birthday" which transcends the times is taken out, it will definitely cause a sensation.

This is the effect she wants.

As for fame, I will build it up slowly.

She now urgently needs a new label to cover up everyone's previous impression of her.

Because she still has a lot to do.

His notoriety would no longer be a help to her, but a burden instead.

Seeing her confident look, the Empress Dowager's curiosity reached its peak.

"Okay, as you wish, we'll watch it tonight!"

As it turned out, everything was just as Qin Yaoguang expected.

The birthday banquet in the evening was held in the Wende Hall where all officials attended court.

The once solemn and dignified hall is now decorated in a festive manner.

Fifty large round tables were set up in the hall. On the left were nobles arranged in order of their titles, and on the right were civil officials and military officers ranked in order of their official ranks, all of them men.

In front of all the nobles was a special group - the Banquet for a Hundred Old Men, with a total of ten tables, with ten people at each table.

Each round table in the hall can seat ten people, which is a good omen for perfection.

In the middle is the royal seat.

The Emperor and Empress Xie sat on either side of the Empress Dowager to show their filial piety.

But the Empress Dowager's position was one step further back, highlighting the authoritative status of the Emperor and Empress.

Further back, Qin Yaoguang and Chun Ning were sitting.

There were only four women in the entire hall.

The first step of a birthday banquet is, of course, to celebrate the birthday.

Led by the Emperor, everyone raised their glasses to wish the Empress Dowager a happy birthday.

For a moment, the hall was filled with noise, filled with all kinds of pleasant and auspicious birthday greetings.

The Empress Dowager drank the wine with a smile, and then it was time to present birthday gifts.

This stage starts with the person with the lowest rank among everyone present, and then gradually moves up.

For civil and military officials, offering birthday gifts is of course very particular.

You can’t offer too much, surpassing your superiors.

He couldn't be worse than his colleagues, or it would appear he was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager.

This degree must be grasped well.

The first birthday gift was given to the hundred elders present.

They hold no official positions, and are all long-lived, vigorous elders.

Only after being reported by various government offices and undergoing screening and verification of a clean background can one get this precious spot at the birthday banquet arranged by the Honglu Temple.

In light of the lesson of the previous dynasty's Banquet for a Hundred Old Men, the Empress Dowager specifically instructed that they be given enough time for the journey and that their food, drink and daily life in the capital be guaranteed.

Never let the elderly suffer from the fatigue of long journeys, or else they may die after returning home.

Now seeing that they all had rosy faces, the Empress Dowager felt relieved.

The birthday gift prepared by the hundred old men was a birthday article written by them all in unison.

This was also the Empress Dowager's idea, not to let this honor become a burden to the old man.

Seeing a hundred elderly people celebrating birthdays with radiant faces, Qin Yaoguang felt that if he ignored everything else, this dynasty was filled with a prosperous atmosphere.

If a dynasty can allow its elderly to live out their years in peace, then this dynasty must not be too bad.
