Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

"Why do you want to marry Di Ji together?"

Concubine Lin frowned immediately when she heard that she and Nan Xi would be getting married together.

"Mother and concubine, think about it from another angle. The fact that Wan Yue can marry Di Ji together proves that the father attaches great importance to Wan Yue." Nangong Fuyang said with a smile.

When Concubine Lin heard what Nangong Fuyang said, she thought it was reasonable, but in the end she said nothing more.

After coming out of Bailing Palace, Nangong Fuyang breathed a long sigh of relief. This matter was finally over.

Now it seems that the best result is now.

Before Nan Xi and Xia Houqi got married, the most important thing was Nan Xi's birthday party.

It can also be said to be the birthdays of all princes and princesses.

In the past, because the Emperor Ji was not found back, the birthday banquets of all princes and princesses were kept as low-key as possible to prevent Nangong Rui from falling in love with the scene and thinking of the Emperor Ji who was living abroad.

But things are different now. Di Ji has returned, and in more than a month, it will be the wedding day of Di Ji and the third princess, so the birthday banquet before their wedding will be extra grand.

Nangong Rui held a banquet in the imperial garden to celebrate the birthdays of the princes and princesses.

"Master, this is the first time this slave has heard of so many people holding a birthday banquet together."

"This is my first time, but it is a coincidence that these children of my father were all born on the same day, but it saves trouble." Nan Xi laughed in a low voice, only thinking it was convenient.

By holding a banquet, you can celebrate the birthdays of four children and receive four gifts at the same time. In modern times, the host would be extremely happy.

"This is the most important thing before Di Ji and the prince get married. I don't know what birthday gift the prince will prepare for Di Ji. Is the master also looking forward to it?" Huanyun couldn't help but ask.

"Expectations don't count, I will like whatever you give me."

Hearing Nan Xi's words, Huanyun couldn't help but laugh:

The master doesn't like gifts, he is obviously the one who likes to give gifts.

The night before the birthday party, Nan Xi went to bed early, but was woken up by a faint sound in the middle of the night.

"Xia Houqi?"

In the darkness, Nan Xi gently called Xia Houqi's name, and the man was stunned, and then the oil lamp in the room was lit.

When the candlelight illuminated half of the room, Nan Xi could clearly see Xia Houqi's face.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Nan Xi frowned slightly, not quite understanding Xia Houqi's behavior.

"I'm here to give you a birthday gift. Today is your birthday. I want to be the first one to give you a gift. I don't want to wake you up. I plan to quietly put down the gift and leave." Xia Houqi smiled helplessly. , explained.

Hearing this, Nan Xi was stunned. It took her a while to react, and then she smiled:

"You are so sneaky about giving a gift, let me see what it is?"

Xia Houqi smiled softly, then walked to the bed and handed over the birthday gift he had carefully prepared.

"Open it and take a look. You should like it." Xia Houqi looked into Nan Xi's eyes and said.

Nan Xi opened the small wooden box that Xia Hou Qi handed over out of curiosity.

Inside is a jade bracelet with the four characters Nangong Chuxi engraved on the inner circle.

Nan Xi reached out and touched the words engraved on it, her heart was filled to the brim.

"What's the meaning of this bracelet?" Nan Xi asked, and as soon as she raised her head, she met Xia Houqi's affectionate eyes.

"This bracelet was given by my grandma to her future grandson-in-law. My mother didn't even give it to her. She gave it to me directly. I had a craftsman engrave your name on it some time ago. It will be yours from now on, and you can't pass it on to us. My child belongs only to you." Xia Houqi smiled softly.

Hearing Xia Houqi's words, Nan Xi felt very soft in her heart.

"Put it on for me." Nan Xi stretched out a hand and looked at Xia Houqi.

Xia Houqi understood immediately, took out the bracelet from the box, and put his hands on Nan Xi's slender wrist.

"Well, it's so beautiful. It makes your skin tone even whiter." Xia Houqi held Nan Xi's hand and praised with a smile.

"Okay, I received the gift, you can go."

"How did your little cherry mouth say such cold and heartless words?"

Nan Xi looked over, and Xia Houqi immediately changed his words:

"But I just like Di Ji's temperament, I love her to death."

After saying that, Xia Houqi stood up, extinguished the oil lamp in the room for Nan Xi, and climbed out of the window.

Looking at Xia Houqi's back as he climbed out of the window, Nan Xi couldn't help laughing.

I don’t know what his hobby is. He refuses to leave the main entrance and insists on climbing through the window. Is there anyone in Tianfeng Palace who doesn’t recognize him? He is the one who is hiding his ears and stealing the bell.

After receiving the birthday gift, Nan Xi lay happily on the bed and fell asleep again soon.

In the morning, Huanyun waited for Nan Xi to wake up, then started to help her wash up, and also prepared the clothes she would wear today.

"I've never seen these clothes before. Are they new ones from the Garment Bureau?" Nan Xi knew they were new clothes just by looking at them.

"Well, the Clothing Bureau said that today is the Emperor's birthday, so of course she has to wear new clothes. The other princes and princesses also have them." Huan Yun answered truthfully.

"Well, let's put it on then."

Nan Xi's birthday suit was a dark purple dress, which looked particularly noble and luxurious.

The birthday banquets of the princes and princesses were held at noon, so early in the morning, the ministers brought their families into the palace and waited in the imperial garden.

When Nan Xi arrived at the venue, she found that Nangong Fuyang and the others had already arrived.

"I've met Di Ji."

As soon as Nan Xi arrived, everyone saluted her.

"We are all brothers and sisters, no need to be polite." Nan Xi said with a faint smile.

The clothing bureau prepared new dark red clothes for the third and fourth princesses, and light purple robes for the eldest prince.

The eldest prince has already married, so it is not appropriate to wear red anymore, and the emperor's status is the most expensive. Apart from red, the only colors he can wear are yellow and dark purple, so the clothing bureau made separate clothes for Nan Xi.

When Nangong Wanyue saw Nan Xi, she was a little embarrassed and her movements were a little reserved. On the one hand, it was because of the child in her belly, and on the other hand, she was in awe of Nan Xi.

After the last incident, her view of Nan Xi had somewhat changed, and she no longer disliked her as much as before.

"Aren't the emperor and the emperor's grandmother here yet?"

Nan Xi looked around and asked.

"I've sent someone to invite my father and my grandmother. They must be arriving soon." Nangong Fuyang explained with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Nan Xi nodded and waited for the arrival of the two of them with peace of mind.

The emperor's father and the emperor's grandmother did not wait, but they waited for Xia Houqi first.

"I'm late, please forgive me." Xia Houqi appeared in front of Nan Xi with a smile.

Nan Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw Xia Houqi's clothes.

His dark purple robe looks exactly like his own. (End of chapter)
