Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 141 Yuan’s Night Banquet ([-])
"My slave welcomes you, Long Live the Lord."

"My son, I respectfully welcome the emperor."

Suddenly, the voice of greetings sounded neatly from the platform in front of the Qianqing Palace.

"Everyone, get up and sit down. Today is a family dinner, so there is no need to be restrained." Kangxi sat on his dragon chair and said.

"Thank you, Long Live Lord." "Thank you, Emperor Ama."

All the royal relatives quickly stood up and sat in their seats.

Wanxian was also helped up by Qiaoguo and Yunxia and sat in her seat.

"At noon, the Queen Mother sent a servant. He said he was feeling unwell, so he didn't come. Liang Jiugong, go to Ningshou Palace in person and pay a visit to the Queen Mother. See how the Queen Mother is doing." Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong .

"Come on, I'll do it now." After Liang Jiugong saluted, he hurried to Ningshou Palace.

"Please rest assured, Lord Long Live. I have arranged the meals that the Queen Mother likes on weekdays, and there are also two small plays, which will definitely not leave the Queen Mother alone." Concubine Tong Jia stood up and said.

"The imperial concubine's arrangements are very appropriate. Sit down." Kangxi was very satisfied with the imperial concubine's arrangements and said.

"Thank you, Lord Long Live, for the compliment." Concubine Tong Jia said happily.

The prince found the right moment, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to pay a toast to Your Majesty. I wish your Majesty a long life, good winds and good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

"Okay." Kangxi was very happy after hearing what the prince said, and drank all the wine in the cup.

When the prince saw that Kangxi drank all the wine in his glass, he sat down with satisfaction.

The prince's next person was the third elder brother Yinzhi. The third elder brother Yinzhi had just stood up and had not spoken yet.

Kangxi stood up and spoke: "Come, I will drink this cup with you." Kangxi said to everyone.

The third elder brother Yinzhi was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything. After all, it was not only his father but also the emperor who was sitting above him.

Everyone stood up quickly and drank a glass of water and wine.

The third elder brother Yinzhi poured himself a glass of wine and saluted his superior: "Your Majesty, Ama. On this good day when spring returns to the earth and everything is renewed, I wish you good luck, wealth and longevity. May the whole palace be happy and wish you good luck. My son, Yinzhi, would like to offer you a drink." The third elder brother, Yinzhi, is indeed a man of great learning and wealth.

"Well, not bad." Kangxi sat on the dragon throne and listened to the auspicious words of the third elder brother.

Seeing that the third elder brother had finished speaking, the fourth elder brother also stood up and started to toast.

Continuing the discussion in turn, it is the turn of the eighth prince Yinsu.Everyone here breathed a sigh of relief. No one here knew what happened in Ningshou Palace today.In particular, the reason why the Empress Dowager did not attend tonight's banquet was not because of Ba Fujin's rude words.

Especially the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother who were good friends with the eighth elder brother looked at Kangxi and the eighth elder brother worriedly.

Liang Fei also held the handkerchief in her hand and stared at Kangxi closely.I'm just afraid that Long Live Master will be unhappy and scold his son.

"My son, Yinhu, wishes the Emperor Ama to live as long as the heaven and earth, and to shine with the sun and the moon." The eighth prince Yinhu was actually worried, after all, the Emperor Ama looked very displeased with him.

Kangxi didn't want to reprimand his son again in Yuan Rizhong, otherwise Kangxi would get angry at noon.Kangxi looked at the eighth prince and drank all the wine in the glass.He said: "Okay, sit down and have a drink. You can go and apologize to your Queen Mother tomorrow."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama." Eighth Prince Yinhu said sincerely.All those who cared about Eighth Prince finally felt relieved.

But those who were not convinced by the eighth prince became unhappy.It's not just a day or two since Long Live Lord has disliked Ba Age and Ba Fu Jin.This time Bafujin made a fuss in Ningshou Palace in front of his concubines, clan members, etc. and attacked the empress dowager.Long Live Lord actually handles it so gently.

The prince was the first to be unconvinced and said loudly: "Huang Ama, Lao Ba Fu Jin is so unfilial..."

Before the prince finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kangxi: "Prince, today is a good day, and I don't want to spoil the fun. Drink more wine."

After listening to Kangxi's words, the prince was still a little aggrieved, but he finally obeyed Kangxi's arrangement and sat down.

After watching the prince sit down peacefully, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On the big day, I really don’t want to cause a scene of quarrel between brothers.On the other hand, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were about to speak for the eighth elder brother after the prince finished speaking.So it became quiet.

Brother Ninth also picked up a glass of wine and spoke auspicious words to Kangxi.For a while, the scene was very happy and harmonious.

The concubines who had children under their knees were also happy. After all, they were old and did not like to see their sons being disliked by their father.

Kangxi was in a good mood, and people below him could tell at a glance.So the atmosphere at the scene also became active.

The brothers also left the table and went to Kangxi or his uncles and brothers to compete in drinking.

The little elder brothers and little princesses in the palace also went to their aunts, mothers, and mothers to act coquettishly and make fun of them.

Kangxi held the wine glass and looked at the lively scene below, his smile unstoppable.

Wanxian saw Long live the Lord's good spirits and became happy herself.

"Sister Shubin, come and have a drink with us." The superior Hebin said to Wanxian.

He would not hit the smiling person with his hand, and besides, he and his concubine have always been kind and harmonious.Wanxian quickly picked up the wine glass on the table, toasted to the concubine, and drank a little.

Wanxian started drinking slowly after entering the palace. Wanxian knew that she was a light drinker, so she never dared to drink more.After toasting to each other and the concubines, Wanxian filled up the wine glass herself and said to the noble Bu who was next to her: "Sister Bu, come here. I propose a toast to you and wish you all the best and everything goes well."

The Bugui people were very happy to hear Wanxian's auspicious words.He quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing the harmonious appearance in front, Wang Changzai, who was sitting behind Wanxian, was very unhappy.Because in Wang Changzai's heart, Wanxian's current status should be his.It was Wanxian who took away the glory that originally belonged to her.Because of Wanxian, not only was he not promoted, but he was demoted from noble to permanent. Now he is constrained by his concubines everywhere in Chuxiu Palace.If he hadn't given birth to fifteen or sixteen, he wouldn't be here.

The concubine, that bitch, is not a good person. After entering the palace, she not only took away her favor, but now she also wants to take away her son.Don't think about it. Fifteen and sixteen have grown up, so I can bear it for now.Let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, and we'll see.

After drinking, Bu Guiren became interested and quickly said to Wanxian: "Hurry up and bring the wine glass. Let's go to the empress's place and offer a toast."

Wanxian nodded and stood up quickly.Qiaoguo beside her quickly filled Wanxian's wine glass.Yunxia also supported Wanxian and walked to An Bin's seat.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu and my concubines will toast you to your concubine. I wish your concubine good health and good luck." Standing next to Wanxian, Bu Guiren said to Concubine An.

Wanxian also said: "I wish you good health and everything goes well."

"Okay, okay, okay. Come and drink together, the three of us." An Bin picked up the wine cup and drank everything in the cup.

Cheng Bin, who was sitting under An Bin, saw the commotion on An Bin's side and wanted to join in the fun, but she didn't wait to say anything.

The seventh elder brother, Yinyou, brought his Fu Jin to propose a toast to Concubine Cheng.

The seventh elder brother, Yinyou, is a capable elder brother.Although he had a disease in his leg, it did not affect his achievements in any way.In the 37th year of Kangxi's reign, he was named Baylor, and in the 48th year of Kangxi's reign, he was promoted to the county king.Yinyou was extremely filial to his concubines, and he himself understood that as long as he made meritorious service in the previous dynasty, his wife would live better in the harem.

As soon as she saw her son, the concubine forgot everything.In Cheng concubine's mind, her son is the most important, not even Long Live Lord.

Qi Fujin's surname was Hadanara, and he had a daughter with Qi Age, but she died in the 41st year of Kangxi and had no more children.But she was very filial to Cheng Concubine, and Cheng Concubine also valued her daughter-in-law very highly.He often comforts his son to take pity on his daughter-in-law.

Although Yinyou is a junior, he is still a man. He nodded awkwardly to An Bin, Wanxian and others, and then went back.

When the Seventh Fortune Jin Hadanara arrived, he politely gave a blessing ceremony to An Bin, Wanxian and others, and shouted. "Empress An, Empress Shu, and Lord Bu are blessed."

An Bin sat on the chair and smiled politely.

This was the first time for Wanxian to have Prince Fujin come to say hello, so she was a little uncomfortable.Seeing Bu Guiren return a Wanfu gift, Wanxian also returned one.

Qi Fujin hurriedly walked to Wanxian, helped her up and said, "Get up quickly. I am a junior, but I can't afford Empress Shu's return gift. If our seventh master finds out, I'm afraid he will point his finger at me, a junior who doesn't know. It’s polite.”

Wanxian didn't know what to say, so she could only smile awkwardly.
