The goblin in the palace is on top

Chapter 77 The Emperor's Birthday
...the imperial city, the inner palace.Golden Temple.

"I wish the emperor a long life without bounds! May the emperor and empress stay forever!"

Following the two voices of the eldest princess Xuanji and the prince.Fifty concubines and five princes bowed down at Emperor Shun's knees.

The direction in which they bow down is the "Throne of Wentian" in the Golden Luan Hall.

In the jade seat on the side of Wentian Throne, the beautiful woman with phoenix crown and xiapei, graceful and rich, with soft jade skin and a face like a full moon, is the emperor and empress of the current dynasty.Haoyue of Daxing Dynasty.

Sitting high on the throne, with a burly figure, drooping braids, dark circles under the eyes, a long face, a beard, and wearing a dragon-like grandson suit with gold thread balls and splayed feet, is the current Holy Lord of the Daxing Dynasty, ruling the East. The Supreme Shun Emperor of "Eighteen Provinces, Four Seas, and Three Barrens" in the continent.

Although physically and mentally exhausted last night.But today I celebrate my birthday.Dijun was also very happy.

Excited, he took out a bottle of elixir.I poured out one, put it in my mouth, and suddenly became refreshed.

Taking advantage of the erratic energy, the emperor waved his hands at the children: "The eldest princess and the prince will reward ten thousand taels of gold, and the rest of the sons will reward ten thousand taels of silver."

When the children heard Dijun's words, they all beamed with joy.Only the prince was unhappy.

The prince remembered very clearly that when the emperor passed his birthday last year, he only rewarded the eldest princess with five thousand gold as a makeup tin.Now it has doubled, and it is actually the same as his own gift.

This naturally means that the eldest princess's position in the emperor's heart has been greatly improved, and she is now on the same level as herself.

It seems that the eldest princess wears a mask to catch the demon for the emperor, which is very high.

Although the prince is the successor of the imperial court, he also knows the truth of being too cold at a high place.

Therefore, he secretly eliminated the 45 princes who could threaten his succession one by one.

The remaining five little kids, if necessary, choose the opportunity to move.

He thought that in the current court, no one could compete with him.

But the sudden return of Princess Xuanji made him more and more an eyesore.

Since she is a woman... she should be a head lower than herself.

The Holy Majesty rewarded himself with as many things as the eldest princess... Is this a hint?
Although there is no precedent for a heroine ascending the throne in this dynasty.But it's hard to guarantee that this man surnamed Wang won't be tempted...

Maybe she wants to learn from the Empress Xian of the previous dynasty, and the Emperor Zetian of the previous dynasty.Or Empress Lu from the front and back?

Because of his unsteady mind, the prince's face turned blue and then pale.

At the same time, a careless remark made by the ignorant eldest princess Xuanji aroused the prince's suspicion to the maximum!
She actually said: "Report to father! Grace, Xuanji doesn't want it."

"Ah? You don't think so?" Dijun looked at the empress next to him.

The empress nodded.

Then the emperor added, "That will be doubled! [-] gold! As a reward for your hard work in catching monsters and making alchemy for me!"

The prince's mouthful of old blood has reached his throat.

However, Wang Xuanji continued to shake her head and said: "Xuanji regards money as dung in order to enter the Taoist school. If my father has the heart, please distribute the gold ten thousand taels that I rewarded to the civilian husbands and military households in the capital, and let them take ten days off. Have fun with you."

After saying this, Wang Xuanji told her father: "In this way, people in the world can also feel the grace of my father and me, wouldn't it be beautiful!"

"Good suggestion!" The graceful empress said to Princess Xuanji from the side, "It's rare that Xuanji has such a beautiful heart. Let's do it according to her wishes."

The emperor's medicine was a bit overdone, and his body became weak again.Listlessly, he just nodded in approval and fumbled for the vial again.

But looking at the emperor's approval, the prince's heart became dark and hard.

Real hammer!
Wang Xuanji, this stinky and shameless bitch, is plotting to become his crown prince!
Distributing gold to those servants without gold is a clear way to buy people's hearts.

No, I have to choose an opportunity to get rid of it...

Of course, although the crown prince hated Wang Xuanji so much that his teeth were itchy, he dared not speak nonsense on this grand birthday occasion.

And he's not just talking nonsense.He also bowed his hands to the emperor and his stepmother, and complimented Wang Xuanji's benevolence and awe-inspiring righteousness.

After the emperor continued a elixir, he felt refreshed again.

Then the Buddhist birthday celebration team of Baoguo Temple, the Taoist birthday celebration team of Yanshou Palace, foreign envoys, the prince of Fanbang, and important ministers of Bianzhen came forward to celebrate birthday and present gifts.

After the congratulations of the last batch of representatives of the Confucian sect were over, the official ostentation like foot wraps was over.

The birthday has reached the only part that makes people feel happy-eating a feast.

Dijun's banquet is naturally extraordinary.

To celebrate, the eunuchs set up 188 tables in the big square in front of the Golden Luan Hall.In the Golden Luan Hall, nine separate tables were set up for the prince, the eldest princess, and other important ministers and princes.

Also at this time, according to the procedure, the princes of Fanbang, the heirs of King Sai, held wine glasses to drink and bless Emperor Shun one by one.

After the emperor finished drinking, those people without exception winked at Wang Xuanji and showed their hospitality.

Also in the process.Wang Xuanji's mother is like an old-fashioned marriage reminder machine.He took the trouble to introduce her the "seed players" among these princes.

"This is the second son of the Prairie King of Qiang Fan in Saibei. In addition to knowing Taoism, he also has the ability of martial arts. At a young age, he can open a hundred stone bow..."

Wang Xuanji on the side replied implicitly: "Mother, I am a Taoist couple, not a permanent worker..."

"This is the prince of the Ole Kingdom, and he learned the Taoist Beidou Shenquan Kungfu. He is in the fifth-rank realm, and he is very handsome when he hits someone. After beating someone, his bones and joints will slam."

Wang Xuanji nodded: "Mom, I chose a Taoist companion, not a masseur."

"This is the eldest son of Thrall from the Black Chicken Kingdom in the south. He is a Taoist shaman, and he knows how to use lightning techniques. It is similar to your Xuanqing Qi."

"Uh... I don't like the ones that are so green."

After the princes of Fanbang had a round of drinking, the empress introduced all the seeded players.

From her daughter's face, the empress could see that she was not very satisfied with these men.

But she was not in a hurry or urged.

Because after all, let her choose a Taoist partner and quickly give birth to the bloodline of protecting the country.It is a national policy that is highly consistent among the Ouchi, the Clan Mansion, and the Emperor.

These things are not something she or she can change.

"...Hey! That's not right!"

After the princes and sons of foreign countries and King Sai toasted one by one.The empress's spirit suddenly tensed up.

She asked the personal eunuch Pu Wuhua who was waiting on the sidelines: "My nephew, where is Wang Batian, the fifth son of King Saigan? Why didn't he come? And why didn't you toast!"

"This..." Pu Wuhua hesitated for a moment, and then replied to the emperor, "I'll let the sticky pole check."

After the empress nodded, Pu Wuhua left.

When the banquet was halfway through, Pu Wuhua led a sweaty man to the emperor and empress.

It was a Confucian man, wearing the robes of the retainers of King Saigan.Kowtow as soon as they meet.

Then he said: "Report to the emperor and the empress. It is not good for the subordinates to protect the lord, and the son of King Saigan... is crazy!"

"Crazy?!" Dijun was shocked.

The empress even urged directly: "Where is the person? Quickly bring it up for me to see!"

Following the emperor's decree, a basket was carried up from the side hall.

Then everyone saw in astonishment that Wang Batian, the fifth son of King Saigan, was bare-chested, covered with ants and bees bite marks, and was already out of shape.

On his forehead, he was also tattooed with two large characters with something——色贴.

"Say! How could this happen!" the empress asked angrily.

The emperor hurriedly took out the elixir and took another one.

Facing the empress' wrath, the Confucian servants of King Saigan replied in a low voice: "This, this matter, we have to talk about it from the day before yesterday..."
