The Queen's attitude toward her today was good or bad, no different from other officials' female relatives.
Thank God, this is exactly what Lin Xi hopes.
The empress is also quite intriguing, as she was doted on by the emperor because of her family background, and she was sacrificed by the emperor because of her family background.
In this entire harem, beauty appears on the surface, but hidden beneath the brilliance is a cold conspiracy.
Later, when the emperor died, in order to clear the way for his son, he ordered his successor, who was fifteen years younger than him, to be taken away and buried.
The imperial censor was also outrageous. He sent his granddaughter to the palace to become a queen, hoping that she would become a holy queen and pave the way for her family by giving birth to a prince.
Are you confused? I don’t know what his granddaughter’s brain is? The old man has a better chance of winning if he goes in person.
Well, the emperor liked civil servants very much
Lin Xi sat in the most inconspicuous corner, thinking aimlessly. Fortunately, she was not bored for too long.
The palace servants came to report that the banquet was ready.
The emperor's fortieth birthday was more grand than in previous years.
Today's banquet will be held by King Xin, and only the family members of officials of third rank or above can participate.
Lin Xi had already guessed that Zhong Xiao would be creative and use this to show his filial piety.
There will definitely be something you haven't seen before.
'
After all, Su Yangyang is the one who makes the plans behind the scenes. She always has a lot of amazing ideas.
But even though she was mentally prepared, Lin Xi was still surprised when she saw the dishes at the palace banquet.
Really, I don’t know how much money I can make if I sell these in Qionglou.
Now this group of ministers, even though they have seen a lot of things in the world, all expressed their admiration.
There are dishes made of flowers on the table. To be precise, various dishes are made into flowers.
Every dish is very exquisite, paired with unique tableware, and looks beautiful.
You don’t even need to taste it to be surprised.
The emperor also felt very fresh and asked with a smile: "Can these be eaten?"
King Xin raised his lips and said, "Reporting to my father, this is called the Centenary Banquet of Flowers. The dish in front of you is called 'Lotus Flowers'. It is made by first mincing the shrimps and adding fresh lotus flowers."
"Every dish here has a name. Father, please taste them one by one."
Emperor Zhou was very happy. His youngest son was considerate and more reliable than his two royal brothers.
This "lotus flower is full of charming words", just like a real lotus flower.
Well, even the name of the dish is unique.
He asked the palace servants to prepare dishes, and when he ate them, he found that they had both the freshness of shrimps and the fragrance of flowers, which was strange.
Immediately, Long was delighted and proudly asked the ministers: "What do you think?"
Everyone raised their hands in admiration.
King Zhou glanced around and looked at Lin Xi.
He changed his mind and asked quite affectionately: "Lin Xi, what do you think of King Xin's thoughts?"
Lin Xi: "..."
This is what Su Yangyang and Zhong Xiao thought about. What do you want me to praise for this?
I don’t even want to see Zhong Xiao remain proud today.
Amid the joy, Lin Xi stood up.
Her voice was not loud, but she spoke loudly, and she sighed from the bottom of her heart: "I heard that your Majesty and the late emperor were born on the same birthday. Now that the world is at peace under your majesty's rule, it would be great if the late emperor could also eat these dishes! I miss you, late emperor!"
emperor:"……"
Why are you suddenly talking about the late emperor? It was as if he, as a son, had no one else to be filial to his father.
A group of veterans: "..."
Something is wrong...Should they also say a few words of remembrance to show their loyalty?
Zhongxiao frowned, not understanding why she answered the question incorrectly.
He and Su Yangyang spent a lot of effort on this birthday banquet, and there must be no accidents.
Why is Lin Xi so crazy?
The author has something to say:
Lin Xi: I'm crazy. The life and death of others has nothing to do with me.
Chapter 30
◎Eat and take ◎
The originally lively palace banquet suddenly became strangely quiet.
Embarrassment spread steadily.
In the current situation, this person's approach is inappropriate, but raising objections is even worse.
It is inevitable that there will be suspicion of "disrespect to the late emperor".
The guests attending the banquet today are all court officials and their families of third rank or above.
No one wants to stand out these days.
Apart from anything else, the daughter-in-law of a British father-in-law is a bit evil, and many people have suffered losses recently.
Besides, she is quite popular with the Queen Mother. Who knows if this is what the Queen Mother means.
It's better not to express your position for now, it's okay if it's embarrassing.
In the midst of loneliness, Lin Xi called out again in a cadence: "O late Emperor!"
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at King Duan diagonally in front of him. Is this guy a fool?
I've been howling for so long, do you know what cooperation means?
Prince Duan received Lin Xi's gaze and was a little puzzled.
Why does she keep looking at me? Are you amazed at the majestic appearance of this king?
After being stunned for a few seconds, King Duan finally came to his senses and prostrated on the ground: "Grandpa Emperor! In this life, you have created a land with virtue, your armor has been hard-working, and your might and virtue have served you far! Grandpa Emperor!"
King Xin stole the show at this banquet, how could he let it go?
His father even secretly planned to marry him to the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family.
Then he should always beware of Zhongxiao's ascendancy.
Otherwise, if you defeat the crown prince, you will continue to fight against King Xin.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Prince Duan, I read you right. Not only is your boy more wicked than the prince, he is also smarter than the prince."
He's a scumbag.
King Duan knelt down like this, and several ministers who supported him also knelt down.
"Late Emperor, you opened up new territories throughout your life!"
"The late emperor was a man of great talent and strategy, and was versatile in both civil and military affairs! The late emperor!"
"..."
"Late Emperor, you..." The gray-haired veteran realized that he had finished his words, and began to praise the emperor in front of him, "The tiger father has no dog son. Today, the Holy Emperor has worked hard to rule and slander the world! You, late Emperor, can rest in peace!"
The Crown Prince reacted belatedly and kowtowed on the spot.
The ministers who supported the prince also began to remember the late emperor and praise the current emperor.
Emperor Zhou took a deep breath, his birthday, why are these ministers like this?
Well, the late emperor did not value his son during his lifetime. But as a son, he always respects and reveres his father.
Sure enough, among the late Emperor's many sons, I am the most like him!
Even if I am not very happy, the atmosphere is here...
Emperor Zhou stood up and said loudly: "Father, in your spirit in heaven, have you ever seen the prosperous country under the rule of your son! The great Zhou Dynasty will surely be prosperous for generations to come!"
There was a lot of praise.
After being interrupted like this, mentioning those exquisite and beautiful dishes will inevitably make you feel petty.
Everyone present knew that something was wrong, but no one said anything, so they just cooperated and tried to act natural.
Into this embarrassment.
With a "click", everyone looked and saw that Wang Xin crushed the cup in his hand.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhongxiao squeezed out a smile: "I am grateful to Grandpa Huang... Grandpa Huang's martial arts skills are very admirable."
Many days of thinking are now in vain.
Lin Xi must have done it on purpose. Why is she going against herself like this?
The emperor said that he would grant a marriage, and Zhong Xiao had been hesitant at first, although he knew that it would be beneficial to his great career. But marrying another woman as your first wife would betray Su Yangyang's sincerity.
Now it seems that there is no need to hesitate.
The first step in marrying this woman is to use the military power of the Duke's palace and the money in her hands to seek the throne, and then abandon her.
She married into Prince Xin's palace so that she could keep an eye on him at all times to prevent others from going against her again.
Zhong Xiao made up his mind and looked up at Lin Xi, who looked a little bright and beautiful after dressing up today.
Then I thought about it, could it be that I mistook her for someone else and felt resentful?
She mentioned this matter in front of her father last time, which shows that she is very upset about it.
