rebirth will be hard to find

When he came out of the Chonghua Palace, Chu Yi looked up at the burning sunset in the sky, and let out a long breath.

Of course she understood what His Highness the Crown Prince meant by beating grass and scaring snakes. After all, although the old emperor was not a wise man, he was by no means a fool.Naturally, he didn't do this thing to alert the other party, but to lure the snake out of the hole!

Occupying people's fields and slavery are not considered heinous crimes. With the identities of Wei Wang and Zhao Wang's royal family and princes, even if the evidence is convincing, it is at most a punishment of demotion.They haven't conspired against them yet, nor have they aroused public grievances. Even if the old emperor intends to severely punish them, he can't do anything, so he should only do this to send a signal to attack the vassal king.

The vassal kings in the court are not limited to those brothers of the old emperor, and the whole body will be affected by a single hair, and there will be a lot of opposition voices at that time.But this is not important, what is important is that some people will be restless and will do something when the time comes.

Back then when the vassal kings raised their troops, the most troublesome ones were Qi Wang, Zhao Wang and Wei Wang, but now two of the three kings have been recruited, so what will be the "snake" that the old emperor wants to lure the snake out of the hole? who?

Chu Yi has not forgotten the assassinations she and the prince encountered in the past two years. Although after dismissing a large number of palace people, the palace has been peaceful in the past two years, but who knows what is hidden under these calm appearances? How dangerous?After all, the concubines who were suspected of being serious back then are still living in their son's feudal land!

Who is the black hand behind the scenes?What exactly did the prince and the others find out in the past two years?

Chu Yi stood at the gate of Chonghua Hall and thought for a while. Although she couldn't think of a reason, she soon felt relieved, and walked briskly towards Linzhi Hall——she thought of the prince For His Highness, no matter what happens tomorrow, she can just watch!

The night passed quickly, and on March 27, Longevity Day finally arrived.

This time Chu Yi didn't bring two companions, but dressed in gorgeous formal attire, and followed the prince into the Xuande Hall again.

Xuande Hall is the place where celebrations are held in the imperial palace. Whether it is the palace banquet on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival, or the state banquet to entertain envoys from other countries, it is basically arranged here.In the past, the old emperor only held a small banquet like a family banquet, but never used the Xuande Hall, but this time, the big event of the Longevity Festival will obviously be held here.

Two years later, Chu Yi also got to know these ministers a lot, and he was much more attentive than in his previous life, who only remembered faces.While Chu Yi was familiar with these ministers, they were no longer curious about the princess who was found out from the cold palace. Seeing Chu Yi coming with the prince, they bowed slightly and raised their hands to salute. They also went to do their own things.

The prince took Chu Yi into the Xuande Hall, and there were many people saluting, but very few people went to the two of them after saluting.

None of the ministers who can enter the Xuande Palace are fools, even if they want to please the prince, they dare not do it too blatantly at this time.After all, His Majesty is not old yet, so he probably wouldn't like his ministers to take refuge in his son early on. All those who come to the Prince's side at this moment are more royal family members.

Even if he didn't know the first young man who approached His Royal Highness, Chu Yi could recognize him with his face that resembled King Qi. He was the son of King Qi.

Chu Yi adhered to the principle of talking less and listening more. He didn't say anything, but just listened to the conversation between the two.After exchanging pleasantries, the prince asked the young man, "Is Ning Ya okay recently? She seems a bit arrogant, and I don't know if she can get along well with the young master of the Duke of Wei's family?"

The expression on Prince Qi's face froze slightly when he heard the words, he made a haha, pretending to complain: "My sister is arrogant, and since the little son of the Duke of Wei's family can be valued by His Highness, he is naturally one of the people. Longfeng, but she doesn't seem to like each other..." He glanced at the prince as he spoke, and although he didn't see anything from the other's face, he added: "Maybe it's also due to fate."

Hearing this sentence, Chu Yi snorted coldly in his heart: What did you say that the fate has not arrived yet, could it be that her fate has arrived after seeing Cheng Zian?When she was in the small garden that day, Ning Ya still had the guts to dislike her family, Zi'an!

After exchanging a few words with the crown prince, the prince of Qi said his farewell and left, and then several vassal kings or princes came one after another.These people are all relatives, but Chu Yi still recognizes them. Even if they don't recognize their faces, they can at least recognize their names or titles.

The two of them didn't come very early, and exchanged pleasantries with others one after another. After a while, the old emperor came.

After the salutes, the people in the hall stood in two rows in the hall as they did in the morning, and began to offer birthday gifts to the old emperor sitting above.

Naturally, the royal family members stood in front, and the first one to present the birthday gift was the crown prince.

He presented a picture of Pine Pine painted by himself, with exquisite layout and smooth brushwork. The Pine Pine in the painting is lifelike and seems to be full of vitality.Although it is not comparable to the masterpieces of famous masters, it can be seen that he painted with great care, and obviously spent a lot of time preparing.

The old emperor obviously liked it very much, so he had someone accept it properly, and even said: "You are busy with government affairs, so you should take a good rest when you have time. I know what you want, so why bother?"

The crown prince hurriedly said that he didn't dare, the old emperor had no choice but to say anything in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and all the royal family members.

As the princess, Chu Yi was the second to give the birthday gift of course.She presented the Longevity Picture written by herself. The layout is also exquisite, and at first glance, it looks like she has put more effort into it than the prince.The old emperor looked at it a few more times, and let people accept it carefully, but he only said: "I have a heart."

There was a big gap between the front and the back, but people's hearts were biased. Chu Yi had already gotten used to it, and didn't think anything of it. He just said a few polite words before retreating behind the prince.

After that, those vassal kings sent some things one after another.Naturally, they would not give away the things they made with their own hands, but all kinds of rare treasures were presented, because Chu Yi had been an emperor for several years in his previous life, and he had seen many good things, and occasionally couldn't help but look at them.

The old emperor who sat high on the dragon chair was habitually indifferent to his emotions and anger. Except for the first few words he said when the crown prince presented the picture of pine trees, he has been indifferent since then. A noncommittal look.In contrast, Chu Yi can get a three-word response, which is already very good.

The vassal kings presented their birthday gifts one after another. No matter what the old emperor liked or not, at least there were no mistakes in these birthday gifts. For many people, it was enough.And after these vassal kings, it was not yet the turn of the officials to present birthday gifts, and there were still younger generations in the clan who wanted to show their faces, and they would also prepare birthday gifts for them.

The birthday presents given by the younger generation are all kinds, and they are not necessarily expensive. Some people made things with their own hands to show their sincerity, and some people collected kits and kats to make people happy.For example, Ning Ya showed her face again today. She presented a jade longevity peach, with white jade on the bottom and crimson on the top. The workmanship is also very fine, and it looks like a peach at first glance.

King Qi presented two golden dragon fishes with long beards before.This kind of fish is rare, and it looks a little aura, and it is mostly regarded as auspicious.If he only offered this one, he already had the limelight, and now Ning Ya, the birthday peach, is even more icing on the cake.He had always been proud of himself, and now he couldn't help showing a bit of arrogance on his face.

However, at the same time when King Qi raised his chin slightly, showing arrogance, Ning Ya, who was personally carrying the birthday peach, went forward to offer it, and for some reason, her feet gave way suddenly, and she fell down.

With a "plop", Ning Ya fell hard to the center of the hall.

With all the attention, this time the proud little princess was ashamed and humiliated.

Ning Ya was thrown a little hard, and she got up after a while.She frowned slightly, and tidied up her demeanor a little bit, thinking that no one would come to help her, when she raised her head, she met King Qi's almost fiery eyes.

King Qi is arrogant, but most of the time he treats his children well, and it is obvious that Ning Ya was favored by him to bring him to Beijing.She had never been looked at by her father with such eyes, and she felt a little panicked, and then she seemed to catch a glimpse of a white fragment from the corner of her eye... She turned her head, and saw the exquisite jade longevity peach in front of her. It was smashed into several pieces!

Ning Ya's face turned pale all of a sudden - what she gave wasn't any other birthday gift, it was birthday peaches!On the day of Longevity Day, the longevity peach was broken in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the old emperor. Is this cursing the old emperor for shortening his life? !

Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the old emperor slapping the armrest heavily.

This was the first time the old emperor had shown his emotions since the two heirs presented their birthday gifts, but it was obviously outrageous!

Ning Ya knelt down again with a "plop", this time she was no longer arrogant, because everyone in the hall knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"

After shouting three times to appease his anger, some ministers couldn't help but sweat on their backs—the old emperor is not young anymore, if he dropped a birthday peach on the Wanshou Festival 20 years ago, he might not care, but How can people not care about life and death when they are old? !Wrestling on the ground and smashing the birthday peach, such a bad omen, let alone the emperor, even if it happens to any elderly person, it is impossible not to worry about it.

After shouting angrily three times, the Xuande Hall fell into silence.Including Prince Qi's father and daughter, they didn't dare to look up to see the old emperor's face that must be ugly.

I don't know how long it took, but the old emperor finally spoke, with a deep voice, which made people feel terrified: "Qi Wang taught his daughter Wu Fang, demoted Changping county king, changed the domain to Changping, and Ning Ya removed the princess." title!"

King Qi bowed his head and knelt on the ground. After a long silence, he finally received the order to thank him.

Chu Yi followed behind the prince, kneeling right behind King Qi.She secretly turned her head to look at King Qi, and saw King Qi's ashen face and his hands tightly gripping the floor tiles of the hall.

Obviously, he is not reconciled!King Qi's title and feudal land were bestowed by the late emperor himself. Quzhou is vast and rich. After all these years of his governance, this feudal land has long been tightly held in his hands.And after being demoted to a lower rank, not to mention the lower title and status, what kind of place is Changping?The backcountry is full of unscrupulous people!

King Qi almost gritted his teeth with hatred, but he is now in the capital, in the palace, facing the enraged old emperor, how can he say "no"?It's just that when he looked at Ning Ya occasionally, his eyes almost turned into knives, wishing he could just cut her like this!

After Chu Yi glanced at it, he withdrew his gaze.She still knelt behind the prince obediently, and followed her brother's instructions, saying nothing and not caring about anything.But she didn't expect that it was not King Zhao or King Wei who was attacked first today, but King Qi instead.

The author has something to say: I can't think of a title again. . .
