don't wear no acquaintance

Not long after, the palace banquet officially began

The emperor - Ye Lingtian, accompanied by the queen mother, the empress - Yu Danzhen, and the young prince - Ye Zeqi, arrived together with several beauties and accepted the obeisances from hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as relatives of the royal family.

After the emperor's polite opening remarks, it was time for foreign envoys to meet with them. At this time, Bai Shile, who was sitting down in an upright manner, glanced at the Prince Yong's son and his wife who were opposite, to be precise, the concubine.

"Don't keep staring at her!"

Seeing Bai Shile looking diagonally across, Zhao Yunshen covered his mouth with a handkerchief and whispered a reminder.

"Are you afraid of the grass and the snake?"

"right--"

Zhao Yunshen nodded in reply very seriously.

'He' would never admit it, because Ye Lingfeng happened to be sitting next to Ye Lingyu!

Moreover, he always smiles at me!
Regardless of whether Ye Lingfeng was interested in this body or his soul living in this body, Zhao Yunshen felt extremely disgusted, and he didn't want Bai Shile to have any interaction with that guy!
Therefore, 'he' is on guard everywhere, always be careful, for fear of being taken advantage of by Yeling Feng!
"I have to be careful, in case someone misunderstands!"

Suddenly, Bai Shile turned to look at Zhao Yunshen and said this, but there was a malicious smile in his eyes.

"Misunderstanding what?"

Although Zhao Yunshen had guessed what 'she' was going to say, he still asked the question.

"A misunderstanding of the command has led to the Lord being interested in Prince Yong's concubine!"

"Would it cause a big commotion if the news got out?"

Bai Shile held back her smile and asked in a low voice with a malicious look on her face.

Zhao Yunshen...

What on earth is her mind doing?
How can you think of such a thing?

"What do you mean?"

"Then Qian Yihe must have a good figure and good looks. Not to mention a peerless beauty, at least she is a rare beauty. Don't you feel moved after seeing her?"

I don't know what kind of mentality Bai Shile has in saying these words, it seems that he is quite happy in it, anyway, Zhao Yunshen is quite speechless;
Can't stand any of them, are you still excited?
Has he never seen a woman in eight lifetimes?
Besides, he was a woman now, a real woman!

"Having you is the greatest blessing in my life!"

Helpless, in the end Zhao Yunshen could only answer with this sentence that someone often said.

Sure enough, Bai Shile was very satisfied after hearing this;

"It's good that you have this awareness!"

If it wasn't for the occasion, Bai Shile would have wanted to reach out and pat Zhao Juewu on the shoulder!

At this time, the presentation of gifts by foreign envoys ended, and the presentation of gifts by domestic kings and ministers began;
The first is Ye Lingfeng’s eye-catching bag. He stood up and presented a gift carefully prepared by Prince Hui’s Mansion, a blood jade winter plum sculpture half the height of a man. The gift stunned everyone as soon as it appeared. Just like Ye Lingfeng, he featured an eye-catching What a slut!
"Prince An has taken the trouble, this thing is very popular with me!"

Emperor Wenkang looked joyfully at Yeling Fengdao standing in the hall, who was particularly festive and eye-catching.Although a simple sentence may win the emperor's heart, that is also a supreme honor!

"It is my honor to please His Majesty, and it is also the blessing of this thing!"

Ye Lingfeng was respectful and polite, speaking decent words neither humble nor overbearing, the monarch and his subjects were incomparably harmonious, and the men and women sitting below expressed joy.

At this time, the emperor turned his head to look at the empress dowager, who lived in the harem and chanted Buddhist scriptures, who rarely showed her face;
"It happens that the queen mother loves red plums very much, so this thing is most suitable to be placed in Ningshou Palace!"

On his birthday, the emperor did not forget to borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha to honor his mother!
This move made some old ministers nod their heads in praise, feeling that Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, but Bai Shile thought in his heart;

The emperor is quite capable!
This wave of good impressions was overwhelming, and the character of the most filial piety was established!
To nourish people, you must be a royal family!
"Don't roll your eyes!"

Zhao Yunshen at the side saw Bai Shile rolling her eyes several times, although she didn't know what 'she' was thinking, he still reminded her in a low voice.

"I haven't slept well recently, my eyes are dry..."

Bai Shile, who came as soon as she opened her mouth, didn't feel ashamed at all. After speaking, in order to increase her credibility, she even blinked her eyes, expressing that "she" said every word with conscience.

Words spoken out of conscience!
"The emperor has his heart, and Prince An has also taken the trouble. The Ai family has become accustomed to being simple over the years. Such bright colors are a bit too lively, so I'd better leave them to you young people!"

The Queen Mother spoke unhurriedly.

This is the first time Bai Shile has met the Queen Mother!

Of course, it would be difficult for 'she', a foreign minister, to see the Queen Mother without being summoned!
Although from a distance, it is not difficult to see that due to the perennial worship of Buddha, the complexion is a bit paler than ordinary people, and the expression is much more indifferent. The eyebrows and eyes of the queen mother are quite good, and they are three or four points similar to Emperor Wenkang.

Maybe she really underestimated everything. On such a grand occasion, the Queen Mother was dressed very ordinaryly. Not only did she not wear a phoenix robe, but she also did not wear a phoenix crown. The group embroidered double-breasted gown skirt, sat there quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

The emperor can't embarrass my mother, so that's all!
Next, Ye Lingyu presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Yong Palace;
The gift was a map of mountains and rivers made up by Shanghao Dongzhu, which featured a novel and heroic spirit. The careful Bai Shile found that Emperor Wen Kang's eyes flickered inexplicably when he saw this picture, and then looked at Ye Lingyu with sharp eyes for a moment!
And, 'she' was pretty sure she read it right!
Combined with some of the matters related to Prince Yong's palace mentioned by the emperor before, 'she' knew that there was something on the emperor's mind!
As soon as this conjecture came out, Bai Shile turned to look at Zhao Yunshen beside him, and seeing 'him' nodded in understanding, Bai Shile expressed sympathy for Prince Yong's son.

After pretending to be polite, Ye Lingyu returned to his seat, and saw County Lord Xining, who hadn't shown up for a long time, got up, took the box handed over by the maid at the side, and walked towards the hall;
"Princess Yongchang's Mansion congratulates Your Majesty on your longevity and longevity!"

After the Lord of Xining County knelt down and kowtowed, he raised the gift box high. Eunuch Wan took it and carefully opened the box. He saw a ginseng in the red brocade box, as thick as an adult man's thumb and as long as a chopstick, lying inside.

"Auntie is interested!"

Emperor Wenkang thanked Princess Yongchang who was sitting on the seat, and then looked at the Lord Xining who was kneeling in the palace.
"Ping Sheng! I haven't seen you for a while, Xi Ning is quite sensible!"

I don’t know what Emperor Wen Kang meant by praising the Lord of Xining County for being sensible in front of so many people!

This made many people have to recall how ignorant the county head of Xining was in the past and the ridiculous things she did.

It was Bai Shile who sat obediently and watched the show, almost laughed out loud at these words!

Although she couldn't see the expression of County Lord Xining clearly, Bai Shile guessed that she must be surprised at this time!
"Restrain your temper in the future, your aunt is the only daughter at her knees, and I will have to count on you in the future!"

Just when Bai Shile thought that the Lord of Xining County could withdraw, Emperor Wen Kang suddenly gave another serious instruction.
