My Princess Has Been Reborn

When the prince arrived with the kings and princesses, the Xuande Palace was already full of excitement.

Today is the emperor's birthday, and no one dares to be late for the palace banquet, including the envoys who arrived early. Everyone gathered together and chatted in twos and threes. Even the envoys from small countries were not left out, which made the atmosphere in the palace very lively. harmonious.

Qi Yang and Lu Qipei were sitting behind a table, with princes and princesses on the left and right, and envoys and courtiers sitting opposite.The two of them acted like no one else was there, they gathered together and whispered together, Rong Shi frowned on the opposite side, not daring to cast their eyes too much.

Fortunately, everyone left the Xuan Shi Hall stepping on the spot, so not long after the princes and princesses were seated, the palace banquet began.

The emperor was dressed in black and came late. When he walked through the hall calmly, all the people on both sides stood up and bowed down, bowing their heads in salute.

The black clothes flicked past everyone's peripheral vision, and finally walked to the top and sat down in front of the throne.

Immediately, the emperor's majestic voice rang out, first avoiding everyone to salute, and then said two polite words as the opening.The intimidating majesty aroused by the emperor's entry into the palace before gradually dissipated, and the atmosphere in the palace became much more peaceful.

This palace banquet is to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and the princes and daughters will take the lead.

The crown prince is the elder and the crown prince. He first attended and walked to the front of the emperor, bowed and said, "Father's birthday is celebrated throughout the country. My sons and ministers respectfully wish the father a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." After speaking, he presented a scroll, Said, "My son is dull, and everything in his body is the favor of the king. Today, there is only a picture of a hundred years of life written by himself. Let me talk about my thoughts, and I hope my father will not blame me."

Of course the emperor would not blame the crude gift from the crown prince, he smiled and encouraged him immediately, and asked his servants to take the picture of a hundred years of life presented by the crown prince, and appraise it in public in the hall.

The so-called picture of one hundred longevity is written by one hundred characters of longevity.Someone made a trick, so that 100 people can write a long life character respectively, and they can also make up a picture of a hundred longevity.Some people bother to write a hundred characters for longevity by themselves, and it takes a lot of effort to write them beautifully even if the characters are different.The crown prince is obviously the latter, and in his capacity, it is too simple to find hundreds of people to come to these hundred longevity pictures, it would be more thoughtful to write them himself.

The emperor knew that the calligraphy was indeed written by the prince himself after seeing it, and thought of how much time and effort it would take to write such a calligraphy now that his right hand was half useless and he practiced calligraphy with his left hand.I was moved in my heart for a while, and said three good words in succession.

Even the emperor said yes, how could the ministers spoil the fun, and the hall was full of praise for a while.

This made the faces of the other princes not very pretty.They spent money and thought, thinking that they found exquisite and precious objects to celebrate the emperor's birthday, just to win the praise of the emperor and the praise of the officials.However, at this moment, before they presented the birthday gift, the prince used a worthless picture of a hundred years of life to seize the opportunity, how could it not make people angry

But anger is anger, at this palace banquet, in front of the emperor and courtiers envoys, the kings did not dare to say a word.Only a few eyes fell directly on the prince, full of jealousy and unwillingness.

The crown prince has been the crown prince for many years, and he has been deeply favored by the Holy Grace since he was born. How can he see such eyes less? In other words, the crown prince grew up with such jealous and unwilling eyes. After thanking the emperor for his praise, he sat back.

He Shou started and continued on his own.

Under the crown prince, the second prince died early, the third prince was punished for treason, and the fourth prince was the king of Qi.

King Qi couldn't sit still when the officials praised the crown prince, and now he jumped up and said, "Father, my son heard that there was an auspicious birth in Qizhou a month ago, and there was a radiant glow all over the sky. It is so lingering that it makes people look for it. Fortunately, I found it before my father's birthday, and dedicated it to my father. I wish my father good health and a long life."

The emperor has been sitting on the throne for decades, and he has never heard of any kind of things, and has never seen any kind of auspiciousness. He knows that the so-called auspiciousness is mostly caused by human beings, and the purpose is to please him.

Therefore, the emperor did not believe in the auspiciousness, but it was always a happy event to involve auspiciousness.Therefore, although the emperor lacked interest in his heart, he still showed a happy look on his face, and asked, "It is He Xiangrui, and I will present it to the palace for a look."

Seeing the smile on the emperor's face, King Qi thought that he had given a good birthday gift, and his back was straighter by three points than before.He went to order in person, and soon four servants came up to the hall carrying the birthday gifts covered by the red cloth, and when it was settled, the king of Qi stepped forward with a red face, and lifted the covered red cloth, It reveals the next glazed water tank.

At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, and the warm yellow light pierced through the clear glass, clearly revealing an arowana in the water tank.

It was a real dragon fish, with a slender body like a snake, possessed by golden scales, and a dragon beard on its lips. Its face was only half of a fish, and the other half was more like a legendary golden dragon.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a fish leaps over a dragon's gate. Except that it has no claws or horns and is trapped in a fence, this dragon fish has the appearance of a dragon.

None of the crowd had ever seen such an arowana, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was auspicious, their eyes widened in amazement for a moment.Even the emperor, who was indifferent before, couldn't help feeling a little bit of wonder in his heart, and even got down from the throne himself, and walked to the glazed water tank to take a closer look.

Seeing this, King Qi became more and more complacent, looking at the emperor with bright eyes, waiting for his father to praise him.

However, the emperor stared at the water tank for a long while, but he still didn't speak.He was silent for too long, so that King Qi was a little flustered, so he called out "Father Emperor" cautiously

Only then did the emperor come back to his senses, nodded and said, "The emperor has taken care of you, that's good."

After saying this, the emperor waved his hand and signaled the servants on the side to carry the birthday gift down, and he himself turned around and walked back to the throne. He didn't say anything bad, but his reaction was a bit flat, not like seeing such a gift. What auspiciousness should look like.Especially the emperor was quite interested before seeing it up close, why did he react like this after seeing it

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little bit suspicious. They all suspected that King Qi had cheated and let the emperor find out the clues.

Such a guess, but no one dared to say it, and it was a little weird when they looked at King Qi.King Qi was furious when he saw it, but he also felt baffled. He couldn't be more wronged when he looked at the throne.

Qi Yang, who was on the sidelines, also found it strange, so he sneaked into Lu Qipei's ear and whispered to her, "What's the matter with Father, I was obviously very happy to see it before, and I've never seen this Dragon Fish Xiangrui before."

Lu Qipei observed more carefully, maybe because of her position and angle, he whispered back to Qi Yang, "I see the arowana in the water tank seems to have turned white."

Hearing this, Qi Yang's beautiful eyes slightly widened and her belly turned white, she was about to die, and presenting such a birthday gift on the emperor's birthday had an ominous implication that was self-evident.Thanks to the emperor's calmness and sober mind, he knew that King Qi could not have done it on purpose, otherwise there would be thunderous anger right now.But if that's the case, the fire in my stomach is probably simmering right now.

The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard a loud bang, which made everyone in the hall turn their heads.

But he saw that the glass water tank was being lifted down by the red cloth covered by the servant, and for some reason, the whole bottom of the tank suddenly fell off.The water in the tank splashed all over the floor, and the golden arowana stood out instantly among the shattered glass fragments.

No one expected such a scene, and there was a moment of silence in the hall.

What Lu Qipei saw before was not wrong, this arowana was about to die, so even if it fell out of the water and fell into the glass fragments, its golden tail only flicked twice weakly, and then completely stopped moving.

Even if the people in the hall are ignorant, they still have common sense. When they saw the appearance of the dragon fish, they didn't know its condition. All are panic.

The emperor's face was so black that ink dripped down, he watched the chaos in the palace without saying a word.

The king of Qi finally came to his senses from this shocking change, hurriedly went to the front of the palace and knelt down and said, "Father, please listen to my son's explanation. My son did find auspiciousness to present. When he entered the palace before, the dragon fish was still Alright, alive and kicking, I don't know why it is like this. Moreover, this colored glaze is made of a whole piece of colored glaze, how could it fall to the ground if it is so good, someone is going to harm my son, please let my father learn from it."

When things came to an end, King Qi was still a bit alert, and this explanation sounded reasonable.However, in this situation, in front of foreign envoys, after a farce, the face of the emperor and Liang Guo was really lost.

The reason why the emperor chose to hold back his anger before was because there were foreign envoys in the palace and he didn't want to expose his family's ugliness.

But now that his face has been lost, the emperor had no choice but to endure it, and gave King Qi a hard look, "I'm not backing down."

King Qi got up trembling, wiped cold sweat and retreated to the banquet, looked around, but felt that the left and right brothers were the ones who harmed him.In the end, his eyes fell on the prince, and his hatred was even worse. He obviously felt that the prince was the most suspicious.

The crown prince ignored him, seeing that the emperor was still angry and the atmosphere in the hall was depressed, he ordered the servants who were still begging for mercy to "clean up the hall and retreat."

A few internal servants, hearing the words, seemed to have received an amnesty, and hurriedly cleaned up the glass fragments and water stains in the hall.No one dared to move the dragon fish for a while, and Zhang Jian, the superior, ordered someone else to take the dragon fish's body away.

The palace people moved very quickly, but in a short while, the palace returned to its previous appearance, as if that had never happened before.

But the atmosphere is bad after all, and who can really pretend that nothing happened at this time, and continue to celebrate the emperor's birthday? King Wei, who was in line behind King Qi to offer gifts, shrank his neck, and at the moment he was afraid to touch him at all. For the first time in my heart, I regret that the King of Chu was deprived of the title. The King of Chu ranked five in front of him. If he is still here, he will stand in front of him.

It's a pity that the King of Chu was not there, and it's a pity that he couldn't escape if he wanted to restore the atmosphere. In the end, under the gaze of everyone, King Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, congratulated the emperor, and gave a birthday gift.

King Wei's birthday ceremony was also quite expensive, and it could be seen that it was carefully prepared, but compared with King Qi, it was quite satisfactory.

The emperor didn't like such extravagant gifts at first, but seeing him now, he couldn't help but feel relieved.He nodded, and said a few words of encouragement to King Wei, smiling slightly, which gradually eased the atmosphere in the hall.

Then King Wu offered a birthday gift, followed by a group of princesses.When it was Qi Yang's turn to present the birthday gift, the emperor heard that she had specially invited the Bodhisattva to Huguo Temple for fasting, and the smile on his face finally became more real.
