When Dongfang Yu'er mentioned that Sima Ao had a miserable life in the mortal world, Emperor Donghua felt as if something had stabbed him in his heart.

Emperor Donghua witnessed the process of Sima Ao being castrated when he was in microcosm. Sima Ao was in so much pain, helplessness and despair at that time. That was truly a cruel punishment.

Sima Ao sighed deeply, feeling remorseful for the suffering Sima Ao had suffered.

"So I will use my last time to accompany him out of the underworld!" Dongfang Yu'er said again.

"My master promised to help you hold Tianting back, but you must remember what you said." Emperor Donghua looked at Dongfang Yu'er with distress and hopelessness.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Donghua, who had always enforced the law impartially, would agree so quickly. Dongfang Yuer looked at Emperor Donghua in disbelief.

Emperor Donghua agreed to help Dongfang Yu'er hold Tianting back. Not only did he believe that Dongfang Yu'er had no choice at the time, he also knew that Xu Siming really deserved to be killed. What's more, it was the relationship between master and disciple!

"Thank you, Emperor! Yu'er will not escape. Yu'er will remember what she said."

"Actually, I prefer you to call me, master!" After saying this, Emperor Donghua helped Dongfang Yu'er up and urged Dongfang Yu'er to leave here quickly and go to accompany your favorite Wenqu Xingjun.

………………………………

The arrival of his daughter 'Little Golden Lotus' brought new vitality to Sima Ao, and he forgot about being castrated.

Before I knew it, it was almost a hundred days since my daughter 'Little Golden Lotus' was born!

Sima Ao wants to hold a '100-day ceremony' to celebrate the 100th day since the birth of his daughter 'Little Golden Lotus'.

In fact, the 'Hundred Day Ceremony' is also called the 'Hundred Day Banquet', which is a custom that has been passed down among the people for thousands of years.

Every child in every family will have a '100-day gift' when they are 100 days old. If you have a big family, do things big, if you have a small family, do things small.

The '100-day gift' is to treat relatives and friends to a meal, tell them that a new member has been added to the family, and celebrate the arrival of the new member.

The '100-day gift' is a big one for a big family, and a small one for a small family.

The Sima family is a bit more settled than before, but it is still a wealthy family after all, so it is natural that they should not be shabby if they want to celebrate the '100-day gift'.

The meaning of '100-day gift' is to welcome and bestow blessings on a new life!

The most important thing on this day is to let this new life (new member) meet its ancestors.

That is, the parents carry the 100-day-old child to the service hall, and instead of the 100-day-old child, they offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors, and pray to the ancestors. This is your descendant. You must bless her (him), grow up healthily, honor your ancestors, etc.

The Sima family has not welcomed a happy event for a long time, and this '100-day ceremony' must be as grand as possible.

On that day, the doors, beams, and trees in the mansion were hung with red lanterns and red knots. In the center of the hall was a large Chinese character "福" embroidered with gold and silver silk threads.

The banquet tables are all made of Lihua white marble, which is a table made of Lihua wood with a piece of marble inlaid on it.

Some stools, furniture, and bed furniture are made of fine rosewood and sandalwood.

Blue bricks, green tiles, red doors, antique screens, and red lanterns all show the magnificence, grandeur, and celebration of Sima Mansion...

Sima Ao wanted to use a grand '100-day banquet' to tell others that the Sima family has not declined yet!

In fact, the Sima family is gradually declining!

………………

Although Sima Xiang has retired and Sima Ao is no longer an official, the Sima family is still quite famous in Kyoto.

Therefore, on the day of the 'Hundred Day Ceremony', there were still many guests celebrating, including of course some wealthy businessmen and officials.

On the day of the 'Hundred Days Ceremony', Jingjing came alone, and Dongfang Yu'er possessed Jingjing's body, so she also participated in the 'Hundred Days Ceremony'.

Li Fulai came even after taking leave from the palace. He also came with his whole family to participate in the "100-day ceremony" of "Little Golden Lotus".

After all, he must have a family. Li Fulai met Jingjing and said hello awkwardly. He must have a family after all, and the two of them don't have much interaction.

When things get awkward, Jiang Bin stays with Jingjing.

As grandparents, the Jiang family naturally had to come.

"Daughter, look at 'Little Golden Lotus'. It looks just like you when you were a child. You will definitely be a beauty in the future."

When Jiang's mother came, she snatched Baitian's 'Little Golden Lotus' from the nanny's hands and kept praising 'Little Golden Lotus' for how cute and good-looking it was, just like the very young Jiang Min. She said that the good thing was the work of the Jiang family.

Ever since he knew that his mother-in-law disliked him and even persuaded his wife to remarry, Sima Ao had no good impression of this mother-in-law! Now every word his mother-in-law said made Sima Ao feel sick.

In order to take care of his wife's feelings, Sima Ao greeted his mother-in-law politely with a forced smile!

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"The guests are all here and the banquet is about to begin. Are the dishes ready?" the housekeeper asked the kitchen cook.

The chefs in the dining room responded in unison, "It's almost ready. You can serve four dishes first."

Four dishes that are indispensable for the '100-day gift' banquet:

1. Stir-fried beef means that the child will be very bullish in the future and will have good luck.

2. Sixi meatballs; Sixi meatballs are four large steamed meatballs. The four meatballs symbolize the four major joyous events in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and nomination for the gold medal.

3. Vinegar and sugar pork ribs. It means making progress step by step; academic progress, career advancement, and love rising.

4. Auspicious and wishful platter; take one kind of ingredients and make it into a wishful platter; such as fruit platter, candy platter, nut platter, etc.

In addition to these four dishes, there are of course various dishes made from chicken, duck, goose and fish.

"It's such a happy day. Why doesn't Mr. Zuodu Yushi invite me?"

Just as the guests were arriving and the banquet was about to begin, an uninvited guest came.

This uninvited guest came in surrounded by a bunch of servants!

When this uninvited guest saw Sima Ao, he bowed to Sima Ao politely, and pretended to be calling Sima Ao 'Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu'.

I am no longer the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu. Isn’t it mocking me to call myself this name in public?

Sima Ao stared at this uninvited guest in shock, suddenly feeling familiar.

Sima Ao remembered, it was Du Di.

"Why, Lord Zuodu Yushi doesn't remember the villain? Will villain not forget Lord Zuodu Yushi?"

Sima Ao remembered, it was Du Di.

Du Di was supposed to be in jail for ten years. After Sima Ao's accident, the villain sent Du Di to prison.

This person came uninvited and brought a bunch of servants with him. His words were full of provocation, and he was clearly here to cause trouble.

Du Di's arrival shocked the Sima family into a cold sweat.

Li Fulai, Jingjing, Jiang Bin, and Xiaopang nervously stepped forward to chase them away.

In particular, Xiaopang led a dozen mighty servants and stood in front of Du Di with iron bars, looking like they were about to fight.

"Haha! What are you doing? I'm really congratulating Mr. Zuodu Yushi."

After saying this, Du Di ordered his servant to hand over the gift.

It’s wrapped in a gift, but I don’t know what it is?

Today is her daughter's 100-day banquet. Sima Ao did not want to get into a dispute with Du Di, so he reluctantly spoiled the interest of the guests and ruined the atmosphere of the 100-day banquet.

Sima Ao waved his hand to Xiaopang and others to leave first, and accepted the gift from Du Di.
