The ministers didn't want to have such an unexpected joy, and all of them were overjoyed for a while, and thanked him quickly.

There are not many people in the whole court who can get a banquet from the emperor, let alone a mere fifth-rank county guard.The ministers were very happy, and when they served tea, they brought it to their lips, and talked to their neighbors in low voices.

Mu Sheng was perfunctory to the conversation of the sheriff beside her, and her attention was involuntarily placed on the man sitting on the throne.The emperor's face was paler than just now, and his dark eyes also dimmed, but his senses were still sharp, and when he sensed her gaze, he also swept towards her.

Mu Sheng hurriedly looked away, just as the colleague beside her asked something, she quickly turned her head and answered intently.

The light in Meng Xiuyi's eyes dimmed, and Mu Sheng looked intently at the young sheriff beside her, smiling from time to time, the sheriff seemed flattered, it could be seen that he deeply felt for Mu Sheng Attracted by her beautiful appearance, status and her frank yet gentle demeanor.

Meng Xiuyi's gloomy gaze gradually condensed, his pale lips were tightly pursed, and his stomach suddenly felt cramped.

In the past two days, she has been busy with the series of scandals caused by the Ministry of Rites. Last night, she summoned the five prime ministers to discuss the matter. She couldn't sleep all night. Today, she just swallowed a bowl of porridge in a hurry and arrived at Penglai Island. superior.She originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Penglai Island was surrounded by water and completely isolated from land, and tried to keep Mu Sheng behind, but at this moment, the pain in her stomach made her almost unable to hold on.

She wanted to see Mu Sheng when there were no outsiders around, but she didn't want Mu Sheng to see her fragility and helplessness.

The oral order to give the banquet was spoken in front of everyone, and the emperor kept his word, so naturally he could not take it back.Meng Xiuyi had no choice but to endure the increasingly severe cramps in his stomach, and gestured to Mai Rongen, signaling him to hurry up.

There is a hall specially used for banquets on the island, which can hold a banquet for a hundred people, and the dinner will be served there.

After receiving His Majesty's instructions, Mai Rongen hastily dispatched a few servants to urge for help.

Soon, it will be arranged over there.

Penglai Island is surrounded by water, and the temperature on the island is much lower. In addition, when night falls, it will be chilly in spring. As soon as Mu Sheng walked out of Qinzheng Hall, she couldn't help shivering.

Meng Xiuyi noticed that it was not easy to add clothes to her in front of everyone, so he quickened his pace.

A group of people followed behind the emperor, walking on the road like chasing back and forth, and soon reached the palace.

The palace was brightly lit, the outside was full of guards, and inside the palace servants stood in a staggered manner, and food tables were filled with various delicacies.

After being seated, the emperor made a gesture, and the sound of silk and bamboo played.

This is just a simple banquet, so there is no need for all kinds of flowery birthday toasts.But how are the ministers willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?Naturally, they either recited poems or made fuss, trying their best to praise the emperor's wisdom, the prosperity of the country, the strength of the people, and the cleanliness of the sea.

These shepherds, acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, worked hard in the local area. Meng Xiuyi hosted a banquet today, and the crowd was full of enthusiasm and sincere prayers. She couldn't refuse too much, and most of them took a sip. More than [-] people came down, and there were enough glasses up.

Most of the royal wine in the palace is paid tribute from various places. The wine is clear, mellow in the mouth, and full of stamina.After Meng Xiuyi drank a few cups, he felt his stomach burning like fire, and the pain became more intense.

Mu Sheng sat close to the front, and could clearly see every subtle change on the emperor's face. She soon noticed that the emperor's face was paler than before, and his face was stiff. Although he was still smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, but seeing Meng Xiuyi glance at her coldly, as if asking her to mind her own business, Mu Sheng's heart twitched, and the worry was quickly suppressed.It happened that all the other ministers had toasted to His Majesty, and only Mu Sheng was left.

Mu Sheng knew that she was right under her nose. If she hated her, she hesitated and cowered, which would only make her look down on her even more, so she simply stood up gracefully, and raised her glass to pray: I respect your majesty for a glass, may your majesty be forever. Baoqing spring, the elegance will last forever.

Unlike other ministers toasting, Meng Xiuyi just took a sip, she heard Mu Sheng's congratulatory speech, drank the wine in the glass in one go, and said slowly: "I accept Shangqing's wishes."

Luantai Shangqing is really different from others.This is the way in everyone's heart.Presumably after tonight, the story of how the emperor looked at Shangqing differently at the banquet will spread.

When the banquet was over, half of the candles in the hall, as thick as a child's arm, had been burned down, and the thick wax oil was piled up high. Meng Xiuyi, supported by Gong'e, went out first.

The remaining ministers were also guided by a few eunuchs, walked out of the hall in twos and threes, and walked towards the lake.Fortunately, everyone finally remembered that they were in front of the imperial court, no matter how excited they were, they did not dare to get carried away, and no one dared to get drunk.

The Taiye Pool is right in front of you. The sparkling lake surface is glowing with soft moonlight under the moonlight, which is beautiful and elegant.Mu Sheng was about to board the boat when she heard an urgent shout from behind: Lord Shangqing, please stay!

There were several shouts, from far to near.

Mu Sheng turned around to look, and saw Mai Rongen trotting towards her. Seeing her stop, panting heavily, she stepped in front of her, bowed roughly as a salute, and glanced behind her again. All the ministers with curious eyes, regardless of whether they were impolite, stepped up to Mu Sheng's side and whispered to her ear: Your Majesty is ill, please hurry up and follow the young one to get a diagnosis and treatment.
