Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Several powerful soldiers carried up a cage covered with black cloth.

The courtiers, wives and ladies present all stretched their necks, wanting to see the true face of this auspicious beast riding the yellow.

The third prince was in high spirits and introduced proudly: "Father, it is said that those who ride this thing can increase their life span by two thousand years. It is an auspicious beast that even Emperor Xuanyuan rode in the past."

When the emperor heard that this thing could increase his lifespan, he became more curious.Only Old Man Dong sitting next to him gently touched his beard and smiled without saying a word.

The third prince then ordered the guards to lift the door curtain, revealing Chenghuang inside.

A fox with horns on its back, this is a thought that arises in everyone's mind.

However, the moment he saw Chenghuang, the third prince was originally very proud, but his face suddenly changed.

The animal in the cage was lying on the ground, already dying. Hearing the voices of everyone, it only weakly opened its eyes and tried to struggle to get up.

However, the thin limbs seemed to be difficult to support, and he soon fell heavily into the cage, closed his eyes, and looked like he might die at any time.

The third prince did not believe in evil and used his eyes to signal the guards on the side to do something to make Cheng Huang open his eyes again and stand up.

Unexpectedly, the guard poked the object with his hand, but it didn't even move.

Now even a fool could see that this so-called auspicious beast died in front of everyone's eyes.

Xia Keyu covered his mouth and pretended to be thoughtful, but in his heart he admired Chu Yuan's clever idea.

If Chenghuang had been poisoned before, everyone would inevitably suspect that someone was behind the scenes.But now that Cheng Huang had died after showing up, everyone would just think that it was because of the long journey and that the Third Prince's people had not taken good care of the thing.

The third prince's face turned blue and white. He knelt down and apologized, saying that his son deserved to die.

In any case, on the emperor's birthday, a dead animal is still an auspicious beast.Especially in the past few years, the emperor felt that his body was not as good as before.This sign seems unlucky no matter how you look at it.

The emperor's joy at seeing his old friend was completely gone, and he just slapped the table heavily.

Everyone present was so frightened that they stood up and knelt down on the ground, silent and did not dare to say a word.It was originally a joyful and lively banquet, but now it was completely silent.

Xia Keyu also knelt down and lowered his head, muttering silently in his heart, poor little fox, don't blame me for being cruel.The palace is so vicious.

Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you want to blame it, blame the person who came up with the idea to capture you.

Concubine Ning was the old man beside the emperor. In order to honor her son, she just forced a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, I look at you, this auspicious beast has prevented your Majesty from disaster. Your Majesty will be safe and live a long life in the future."

The emperor was still angry and did not accept Concubine Ning's advice. He only asked in a calm tone:
"What kind of disaster will happen to me and I need auspicious beasts to help prevent it?! Do you mean that I am not upright myself and God will bring disaster to me?!"

Such a plain question showed the emperor's anger. Concubine Ning was so frightened that she did not dare to step forward. She only said hastily: "I don't dare."

With the precedent of Concubine Ning, those who planned to defend the third prince did not dare to speak again.

Just when everyone was too excited to breathe, Old Man Dong, who had been sitting next to the emperor, chuckled and said:

"Your Majesty, he is just a wild fox who pretended to be an auspicious beast with an iron horn and deceived an ignorant child. If your Majesty still remembers, the Eighth Prince was also played like this."

The emperor's words from Old Man Dong also brought back memories of the past.

In the past, the Eighth Prince was deceived and bought a so-called ten thousand-year-old ginseng at a high price as a gift to the late emperor, but it was actually a dyed tree stump. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but laugh.When the emperor smiled, all the big things disappeared.He just said to everyone: "Why are you still kneeling? Get up."

Everyone thanked him hurriedly, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and sat back.

The emperor reprimanded the third prince who was still kneeling on the ground: "Why don't you quickly carry this wild fox out? You're not living up to expectations."

The third prince looked submissive and hurriedly signaled the guards to carry the cage out.It's just that he has always been the emperor's favorite son and has always been praised by the emperor.

Now that the emperor scolded him for failing to live up to his expectations, how could the third prince maintain balance in his heart.

I thought of showing my face, but unexpectedly my butt was exposed.

He did not dare to resent the emperor, but in his heart he put most of the responsibility on the old man Dong who pointed out that his auspicious beast was actually a wild fox and called him an "ignorant boy".

There was a trace of viciousness inadvertently showing at the moment.

Next, the Ninth Prince, who had just entered school, presented the Sutra of Infinite Life that he had copied.

The Ninth Prince knelt down on the ground and said in a childish tone: "My son, I wish my father to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains." As he said that, he kowtowed to the emperor several times.

Among the emperor's sons, except for the fourth prince who had an accident in the early years and did not appear often, the other princes were not retained.Most of the princesses are married or still young.

The emperor loved the Ninth Prince the most. He touched the Ninth Prince's round head and said, "My dear son, get up quickly."

With that said, he held the Ninth Prince in his arms and accepted the congratulatory gifts from the remaining princesses.However, the congratulatory gifts for the princesses were presented by servants, and several princesses were not present.

After the princesses finished presenting their gifts, the emperor couldn't wait to announce an intermission and went to the cabinet with Old Man Dong to chat.

Everyone got up and moved around in twos and threes, and Bai Xiaoxiao's mother, Princess Bai, started chatting with several of the clan wives.

Xia Keyu and Bai Xiaoxiao also walked out hand in hand. She took out something wrapped in a white handkerchief from her sleeve, opened it slowly, and smiled at Bai Xiaoxiao:
"Look, what's this?"

"Wow." Bai Xiaoxiao rushed over like a small animal, "It's pine nut and jujube cake~"

Bai Xiaoxiao wished she could hug Xia Keyu and kiss her: "Ke Yu, you are so good to me. You know I love this bite."

Since the royal family had been having troubles one after another, Bai Xiaoxiao didn't dare to eat in the palace, and she felt hungry just now.

Bai Xiaoxiao puffed her mouth and chewed the sweet dessert while saying mysteriously: "Guess why none of the princesses showed up today?"

Xia Keyu was not very surprised by this, and simply said calmly: "Is it because of the fifth princess?"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and said cautiously: "It was Concubine Ning who threatened not to let other princesses come. Who dares to go against Concubine Ning's wishes?"

Then he looked around and saw no one around, and then said: "Ke Yu, do you know that the fifth princess is no longer in the palace a long time ago. Otherwise, how could the emperor just now not even give Concubine Ning face?"

"Oh." This surprised Xia Keyu.

She thought the fifth princess was still praying in the Buddhist hall inside the palace.What's going on?
