Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 142 Yuan’s Night Banquet ([-])
The scene became awkward again and again. After all, Wanxian and Cheng Bi didn't want to get acquainted with each other, let alone Qi Fujin.

Fortunately, Qi Fujin didn't want to stay any longer. He bowed to Cheng Concubine and left.

An Bin quickly said to Wanxian and Bu Guiren: "You two, go back and sit down and watch the singing and dancing."

Wanxian and Bu Guiren quickly returned to their seats and sat down.

Wanxian touched the Dongzhu ring on her left index finger and watched the singing and dancing in the center boredly.

The elder brothers all walked up to Kangxi with wine glasses to toast, and Kangxi drank them all without hesitation.

After finally retreating, Kangxi glanced at Wanxian consciously and couldn't bear to see the little girl looking so bored.

"Liang Jiugong." Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong who came back from Ningshou Palace.

"Long live my servant, I'm here, please give me your orders." Liang Jiugong hurried forward and asked respectfully.

"This bean sprouts dish is very delicious. Give it to your empress Shu and let her try it." Kangxi pointed to a dish on the royal table and said.

Liang Jiugong quickly responded: "嗻." Then he carefully picked up the dish on the imperial table.Carefully walked towards Wanxian.

Who is Liang Jiugong? He has been serving Long Live Lord since he was a child.Liang Jiugong means Long live the Lord.As soon as Liang Jiugong made any move, the interested people at the banquet kept staring at Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong walked to Wanxian's table with the dishes and said, "Ms. Shu, Long Live Master said this dish is very delicious, and I want you to try it too."

Wanxian looked at the dishes on the table and quickly picked up the golden chopsticks to taste them.He said happily: "Thank you very much, Eunuch Liang, and on my behalf, thank you, Lord Long Live. By the way, please tell Lord Long Live that drinking less will harm your health."

"Hey." Liang Jiugong bowed respectfully and left.

Everyone saw Liang Jiugong walking to the concubine's banquet carrying a dish.Oh, it turns out that that one is the concubine whom Long live the Lord loves most now.

Wanxian happily tasted the oily bean sprouts, regardless of the probing eyes around her.

Kangxi kept looking at Wanxian, and saw Wanxian using the dishes with his own eyes, and happily poured himself wine.

Just as Kangxi was putting the wine glass into his mouth, Liang Jiugong came back.

Liang Jiugong bowed and said, "Long live Lord, Lady Shu said thank you very much for Lord Long live's grace. She likes it very much. Lady Shu also said, please Lord Long live, drink less wine, as too much alcohol will harm your health."

Kangxi was very happy to hear Wanxian's concern for him conveyed by Liang Jiugong.Kangxi turned his head and saw the little girl staring at him on the left.Kangxi had no choice but to put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled at Wanxian.

Wanxian kept looking at Kangxi and smiled brightly when she saw Kangxi put down the wine glass.

Kangxi naturally noticed that fiery gaze, and he knew it was Wanxian without even looking.

"Hmph." After Kangxi snorted twice, everyone present fell silent.

After Kangxi saw that the scene had calmed down, he said: "The Empress Dowager is still feeling a little unwell. Tomorrow's congratulations from the concubine will not be in Ningshou Palace, so as not to disturb the purity of the Queen Mother. Your concubine, tomorrow's congratulations from the concubine will be in your care. Let's go to the palace. The Crown Princess and the concubines above the concubine rank will accompany you."

Kangxi thought for a while and finally added Wanxian.Thinking that his clan relative Fujin was a well-connected person, so was the imperial concubine.

"I thank you, Lord Long Live, for your great kindness. Please rest assured, Lord Long Live, that I will treat my wife well." As soon as Concubine Tong Jia heard Kangxi say that her wife was congratulating her in the Chengqian Palace, she immediately got up from her seat and knelt in the center to thank her. road.This is a great grace, and it was always given to Ningshou Palace in the past.My elder sister also had such grace when she was alive, but at that time it was because my elder sister was the imperial concubine and had the same position as the deputy empress.Now that I am worthy of such grace, will Long Live Lord also give me a promotion?Although there is only one word difference between imperial concubine and imperial concubine, their statuses are worlds apart.After the new emperor ascends the throne, she will be regarded as the legitimate mother.

"Okay, get up. I naturally trust you and entrust this matter to you. You must handle this matter well. Don't lose your royal decency." Kangxi looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face. Imperial Concubine Tong Jia spoke to comfort her.

"Yes, I will definitely handle this matter well." Concubine Tong Jia stood up and said respectfully with the support of her nanny.Even if I don't sleep tonight, I still have to sort out tomorrow's schedule.

Kangxi looked at the people of different shapes below and ordered: "Don't go to pay your respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow, so as not to overwork the Queen Mother." As soon as Kangxi fell behind, he added: "Eighth Brother, you will do it by yourself tomorrow." Go to Ningshou Palace alone and apologize to your Queen Mother. Remember to be careful with your words."

The eighth prince Yinhu hurriedly walked to Kangxi, knelt down and said, "Yes, I will definitely apologize to Queen Mother." The eighth prince Yinhu sighed in his heart: "There is still something in Queen Mother's heart no matter what. It’s my son’s.”

"Go back and sit down. After all, there are too few heirs in your house. Remember to spread more branches and leaves." Kangxi looked at his eighth son and warned him. "Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your concern. Please keep this in mind, son." After the eighth prince finished speaking, he respectfully withdrew.After the Eighth Prince sat on his seat, he thought carefully: "Sure enough, Hui'e Niang was right. When he no longer doted on Empress Xiuzhen, Huang Ama became kind to him. Even Empress Xiuzhen Emperor Ama did not blame herself for causing trouble in Ningshou Palace. It seems that she really wants to have more children. Children are also a bargaining chip to seize the throne."

Kangxi watched the eighth prince return to his seat, and then said: "It doesn't matter that Yinhu wants to spread more branches and leaves, so do you. Only when the royal family continues to prosper can the Qing Dynasty be able to produce talents in large numbers and prosper."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your admonishment. I will definitely work hard." All the brothers stood up quickly and said.

Kangxi looked at his son and shouted with satisfaction: "Liang Jiugong."

"My servant is here." As soon as he heard Kangxi calling him, Liang Jiugong immediately stepped forward.

"Go to the warehouse, get a pair of fine jade Ruyi, and give it to the Fourteenth Fujin." Kangxi said.

The Fourteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Fujin quickly stepped forward to express their gratitude.

"My son, thank you, the emperor." "My daughter-in-law, thank you, the emperor." The fourteenth prince and the fourteenth Fujin knelt on the ground and said.

"Get up. Old Fourteen's family is very good, he is a virtuous and generous man. Just look at it. After only five years of marriage, Old Fourteen has given birth to two sons. The concubine Fu Jin in the mansion also gave birth to many children. These It's all because the direct descendant, the Fourteenth Fujin, did well. Old Fourteenth, you have to treat your Fujin well." Kangxi was very satisfied with the Fourteenth Fujin.

The fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen is only 22 years old, and he already has four younger elder brothers and five younger brothers.He has the most children among the princes, two of whom are legitimate sons.

"My son will treat Fujin well, please rest assured, Emperor Ama." The fourteenth prince never dreamed that he would be praised by Emperor Ama for having many heirs.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you Emperor Ama for your praise." Wanyan, the [-]th Fujin clan, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.Sure enough, what E Niang said was right, they can give birth to them as they please, and they don’t have to raise them themselves anyway.

"Okay, go back and sit down." Kangxi nodded and ordered.

"Long live my lord, my servant brought the jade Ruyi." Liang Jiugong panted and presented the treasure box.

Kangxi looked at the treasure box and said, "Give it to the Fourteenth Fortune."

"Hey." Liang Jiugong quickly presented the treasure box to the Wanyan family of the Fourteenth Fujin.

Wanyan quickly took the treasure box and walked to her seat proudly.

"Long live Lord, the auspicious time has arrived. It's time to set off the fireworks." Liang Jiugong approached Kangxi again and said.

"Shu concubine, come here." Kangxi listened to Liang Jiugong's reply and was worried that Wanxian was as scared as yesterday, so he spoke quickly.

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Wanxian from the Fourteenth Prince and his wife.

Wanxian heard the shout of Long Live Lord and quickly walked to Kangxi with the support of Qiaoguo and Yunxia.

"Liang Jiugong, let's set off the fireworks." Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and the couple said.

"Hey." After Liang Jiugong responded, he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, let's set off fireworks."

After Liang Jiugong gave the order.Fireworks in the square compete to bloom their colors in the sky.

Kangxi stood up, hugged Wanxian and looked at the bright fireworks under the starry sky.

Yesterday it was not enough to hug him in front of all the concubines, but today he hugged him in front of the prince and his clan members.Bah, shameless.

The Yuan Day Night Banquet in the 49th year of Kangxi's reign disturbed the hearts of many people.

On this night, the Long Live Lord rewarded Concubine Tong Jia with her congratulations, gave the Eighth Prince Yinsu a rare good look, praised the Fourteenth Prince and his wife who were flourishing, and even hugged his beloved concubine Shubin to spend time together. Enjoy the fireworks.
