The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 530

The emperor couldn't help looking at Li Xingxu, and asked, "Prince, is he in a good mood tonight? Has a good appetite? I've rarely seen you eat so much."

Li Xingxu put down his wine glass, got up, walked out, and said respectfully: "If you go back to Father, I am really in a good mood. I lost my composure for a while, please forgive me!"

"Oh? Why are you so happy?" The emperor was a little dissatisfied. He was so unhappy, and everyone else knew how to act based on his face. Why is this son so ignorant?
The emperor was about to show his face, when he heard Li Xingxu say: "I just got the news that the disaster relief operation in the south of the Yangtze River has been very effective, and the relief with work in the future is also effective. The construction of the dam is very smooth. A big flood will not cause a catastrophe."

"My son also relied on donations to raise 60 taels of silver. He is going to take it to the south of the Yangtze River and dig canals. It can disperse the torrent in the rainy season and irrigate the fields in the dry season. I am grateful for my father's benevolence, and specially presented a gift to my father, this is really what the people want, how can my son be unhappy?"

"Oh? The people in the south of the Yangtze River have gifts for me?" The emperor was surprised.

Li Xingxu clapped his hands, and someone from the Eastern Palace brought up a scroll.

Li Xingxu said: "Expand!"

The two slowly unfolded the scroll, and there were several large characters on it, which said "the emperor's grace is mighty, the hearts of the people aspire" in eight characters, and the characters were written in a majestic and majestic manner.

And around these four big characters are densely packed small characters, some written crookedly, and some directly imprinted with fingerprints, palm prints, and even children's footprints.

It looks messy but there is an inexplicable harmony.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Xingxu said to the emperor: "This is a thank you note presented to the emperor by the people affected by the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River. These eight characters were written by an old man in the local area. Although the old man came from a poor background, he could write well. Write for a living. Other characters are written by the people spontaneously. Those who can write will write their names, and those who can’t write will have their fingerprints. Those small footprints are left by the children who were born after the disaster!”

"These are ordinary people. If it wasn't for the sage father who rescued them in time, these small footprints might not exist, and even the names of most of the people in them would not be preserved. Did the emperor see this palm print full of lines? ? This is left by a 70-year-old man who is blind and accidentally pressed her entire hand when she pressed her handprint."

"At that time, my son was there, and she cried while crying, "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor..."

When Li Xingxu talked about being emotional, he choked up a little, and even his eye circles were red.

The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Okay...okay..." The emperor said a few good words in a trembling voice.

Concubine Hui also wiped away her tears and said: "Your Majesty, look, the common people know it, know that you care about them, know that you will not care about their life or death, they all know..."

"Yes... yes..." The emperor was very moved.

The audience stood up, knelt down again, and shouted: "The emperor's grace is mighty, long live my emperor!"

"The emperor's grace is mighty, long live my emperor!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak in an instant.

Lin Siran had to admire Li Xingxu.

At a time like this, it was a stroke of genius to come up with this ten-thousand-name post.

On the one hand, the stone statue presented by Li Xingjue was extremely vulgar, and on the other hand, it indirectly proved that he was definitely not the one who framed Li Xingjue.

Because there is no need, this gift must have a greater meaning to the emperor than the stone statue.

The emperor raised his hand, feeling emotional again, and said: "All gentlemen, sit down, sit down, come... Let's toast together, pray for the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and pray for the people of the world!"

"Pray for the people in Jiangnan, pray for the people all over the world!"

The crowd responded in unison.

While Li Xingxu was drinking, he secretly winked at Lin Siran, as if showing off to her.

Lin Siran quietly rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help snickering, what she was worried about just now was really superfluous, Li Xingxu is really a reassuring guy.

Qingxuan secretly asked: "How?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Siran lowered her head a little guilty, thinking that she and Li Xingxu were eyeing each other, and Qingxuan caught her.

Qingxuan asked: "What do you think about this matter tonight?"

Lin Siran breathed a sigh of relief, it really is a guilty conscience.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent and safe in doing things. He is indeed brilliant, which makes people have to admire. I don't think His Majesty will suspect that he destroyed the statue." Lin Siran analyzed.

Qingxuan nodded: "Indeed, based on this alone, the second prince lost a lot."

"Look, the imperial concubine's complexion, if it wasn't for the heavy makeup, she would have turned pale." Lin Siran snickered.

Qingxuan also laughed, and said: "Keep a low profile, she is still a noble concubine anyway!"

Lin Sizan stuck out her tongue and said, "Yes, but I'm just curious, how did she get to sit in the position of concubine? I heard that Concubine Zheng's natal family is not prominent. Could it be that she really relies on the second prince and a face that can overwhelm the country?"

"Well..." Qingxuan paused, "Your Majesty probably thinks that she has no strong mother clan to threaten the imperial power, but is also stupid enough to not threaten the imperial power!"

"Huh?" Lin Siran looked at Qingxuan in surprise.

"Beautiful and stupid women always reassure men, especially His Majesty, he has suffered enough from smart women." Qingxuan snickered.

Lin Siran thought of the Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager was still there, I heard that she did not interfere with His Majesty's affairs, not only the marriage affairs, but also the government affairs.

The banquet finally went on amidst laughter and laughter, and everyone attending the banquet didn't have to worry about it, worrying that the emperor was in a bad mood, so they would find fault and get mad.

After drinking for three rounds, many people have left the table to change clothes.

At this time, Princess Huayang suddenly got up and pulled Li Fu to the emperor, asking for a toast.

The emperor looked at Li Fu with a smile, and said: "Time flies, Afu is already this old, she is already a slim girl."

"Isn't that right, I'm already 16 years old!" Princess Huayang smiled and glanced at Li Fu.

Li Fu, who is wearing a red dress today, looks extraordinarily bright and moving.

"Is it okay?" As an uncle, the emperor still cared about Li Fu.

Li Fu pouted shyly.

Princess Huayang smiled and said: "Not yet, this child... is disobedient, I always want to say kiss to her, but she refuses."

"Oh? Is Afu high-sighted?" The emperor asked curiously, "What kind of man does Afu like? Uncle will find it for you."

Li Fu blushed, glanced secretly at Lu Jinnian, and then quickly looked away.

Lu Jinnian's face visibly stiffened.

Princess Huayang immediately said: "I will tell you the truth, brother, my Afu really has her own heart!"

"Oh? Whose son is it?" the emperor asked.

Princess Huayang smiled and said: "What does your Majesty think of the eldest son of the Lu family? I heard that the eldest son of the Lu family has not yet engaged. He is about the same age as our Afu, and he is very talented and beautiful!"
