After I woke up, my whole family eavesdropped on my thoughts and changed my life against the will of

Su Yun nodded blankly.

She now understands that Guan Xi's temperament will follow whoever it is. Offending someone is really offending, but when he was beaten, she looked really comfortable.

The little eunuch leading the way bent down.

When living in the palace, the most taboo thing is talking too much. Sometimes learning to pretend to be deaf and dumb can also be a life-saving talisman.

The dinner party hasn't started yet.

The little eunuch led Yang to sit next to the female family members.

Su Yun took a quick glance without looking around. When she came, Yang had already told her about the rules in the palace.

The dinner was held in Baohe Hall. The male ministers and their children and grandchildren sat on the left, and the female relatives sat on the right.

There is also a carved pear flower table placed in front of everyone.

Hundreds of palace maids shuttled through the hall, serving wine and jade liquid. The aroma of various delicacies was overflowing, making people salivate.

The concubines, princesses, and princes all arrived early and took their seats closest to the emperor.

At first glance, the group of concubines is dazzling.

Su Yun and Yang sit in the middle position.

Su Jiaojiao was next to her, her hands pulling at the corner of Su Yun's clothes.

Seeing Su Yun looking over, she blinked.

Su Jiaojiao lost her mother and had a little maid by her side.

The maid reminded quietly.

"Miss, Eunuch Li is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Li stood aside holding a whisk and shouted.

"The Queen Mother has arrived~"

"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." The ministers and female relatives knelt down and worshiped.

The Queen Mother wore a gorgeous palace robe with golden brocade embroidered with intricate patterns. She is 55 years old and has never had a single gray hair. It was as if time had left no trace on her body.

The Queen Mother was originally the concubine that the late Emperor took when he was old. She was still alive and well until the late Emperor was sent away.

She said casually after sitting down.

"Be flat."

Zhou Yingwan and Prime Minister Zhou came together. First, they bowed in turn and then took their seats.

Guan Qing and Prime Minister Zhou were sitting next to each other, and they were talking quietly.

Zhou Yingwan was in the previous position of Su Yun.

"The little guy is here too." Zhou Yingwan nodded with a smile.

"Aunt Yingwan."

Su Yun shouted softly, and the two of them said hello.

"The emperor has arrived~The eldest princess has arrived~" Eunuch Li sang from the side.

Everyone knelt down and worshiped again.

[There should be no need to kneel now. Everyone should be here...]

Su Yun knelt on the ground and thought boredly.

The emperor on the high platform looked at them with sharp eyes. However, there were so many female relatives that he didn't know who made the sound just now.

However, only he should be able to hear everyone's reaction.

"Everyone loves you." The emperor sat on the golden dragon chair.

Qin Fuying was sitting next to the emperor.

The Queen Mother waved, "Fuying, come to the Ai family."

"Royal grandmother, today is Ying'er's birthday, and I want to get close to my father." Qin Fuying declined.

The Queen Mother was embarrassed and smiled kindly on the outside.

"Okay, today's birthday is to see if there is someone you like. If you like it, the imperial grandmother will make the decision for you."

Having said that, Qin Fuying knew that the Queen Mother wanted to grant her a marriage.

She pretended not to understand, "I can't bear to leave my royal grandmother and my father, and I don't want to get married yet."

The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing more.

She held the handle of the chair and glanced at Concubine Shu below from the corner of her eye.

Concubine Shu squeezed the silk handkerchief tightly, this old guy was putting pressure on her.

Concubine Shu is still the Queen Mother's niece, but as a daughter and an aunt, there is no need to say who is close to her.

Concubine Shu smiled weakly and said despite the pressure.

"It's my birthday today, just make Ying'er happy."

The Queen Mother was about to speak when she was interrupted by the Emperor.

"Okay, the palace banquet begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of palace maids came up in dancing skirts and danced in the center.

The sound of the guzheng sounded to accompany it. [Phew, it’s finally time to eat. 】

The emperor stopped in mid-air with his chopsticks.

Who is it?

Eunuch De had just served a dish. When he saw that the emperor was holding the golden chopsticks and still didn't move, he was so frightened that there was a layer of dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

It's over. Is he about to lose his head just after being promoted?
He clearly remembered that the Holy One ate squirrel and mandarin fish. Could it be that he remembered it wrong?

Eunuch De knelt down.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

"No problem." The emperor waved his hand, picked up the fish and put it in his mouth.

Only then did Eunuch De stand up and exhale.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, and his heart really can't bear it.

After the emperor moved his chopsticks, everyone started to move their chopsticks.

Su Yun picked up a small piece of Dongpo meat and put it in her mouth.

[This Dongpo pork melts in your mouth and is delicious! The quantity is just a little too little. 】

Only the emperor had a whole plate of dishes placed in front of him, while the ministers and female concubines only had small delicate dishes in front of them.

The emperor looked down.

But there were many people eating Dongpo meat, and he still couldn't find out who it was.

He looked at Dongporou.

Is it that delicious?
Eunuch De agreed and immediately put a piece into the carved gold plate.

The emperor put it in his mouth and frowned.

So-so, no different from the past.

Eunuch De was so frightened that he knelt down again.

Fu Yuan and Qin Shi in the audience noticed Eunuch De and the emperor, and they both thought at the same time.

The Dog Emperor (Father Emperor) can also hear it.

The emperor said, "Xiao Dezi, if you can do the work, we can't use anyone else."

"Slave can."

Eunuch De stood up, and this time he carefully picked up a piece of emerald cabbage.

When he saw the emperor eating it, he felt relieved.

Qin Fuying kept staring at Su Yun, and she ate whatever Su Yun ate.

Before she knew it, she was full.

So, she put down her chopsticks and stared at Su Yun with her face raised.

The Queen Mother gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief.

"Fuying has been in a daze, maybe she has a sweetheart. Tell her to the Queen's Grandmother. If she is a good son, the Queen's Grandmother will make the decision to arrange this marriage for you."

[This Queen Mother really loves her. 】

Su Yun sipped the tea. She had almost eaten.

Zhou Yingwan nodded in agreement. If her father hadn't insisted on recruiting a son-in-law, the Queen Mother would have given her some tricks.

The emperor smiled slightly.

Whose girl is this? She's quite bold.

Qin Fuying sat up straight and said, "Grandma Huang, I'm just thinking about what grandma Huang will give me as a birthday gift later."

The nun beside the Queen Mother took out a brocade box.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You little girl, it turns out you are thinking about the Emperor's grandmother's things."

Although it was a joke, Qin Fuying didn't feel any closeness at all. She took the brocade box and thanked him.

"Thank you, Grandma Royal."

After the meal was almost done, the next step was for everyone to present gifts to the princess.

They were presented by the female relatives of the officials, and were usually given to the palace maids, who then unfolded them for Qin Fuying to see.

The palace maid unfolded it and the Queen Mother nodded.

"This painting is quite good."

Qin Fuying lazily raised her eyelids.

Today is her birthday, but those who didn't know it thought it was the Queen Mother's birthday.

After the gift, the emperor cleared his throat. The hall fell silent for a moment.

"I heard that the girls from various provinces are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if someone can come forward to play?"

[Your Majesty, do you want to choose a consort for the eldest princess? The prince and the prince choose a concubine? Also, except for Qin Zhihuai, everyone else has reached the right age and it's time to make a choice. 】
