Legitimate Daughter, Arrogant Consort

When General Situ heard this, he coldly snorted, "Good?" General Situ's tone was strange as he glanced at Situ Hongshui. Situ Hongshui gave him a wronged look.

"Your sister gave you the seat. You didn't even say a word of thanks, yet you sat down openly like that. Is that even okay?" General Situ's voice wasn't loud, but the people sitting nearby could hear him and couldn't help but look over. In fact, General Situ's voice was clearly softer, but it wasn't. It was obvious that he wanted to humiliate Situ Hongshui, so that he would act more courteously in front of everyone.

This General Situ was actually trying to get his own daughter to be a stepping stone for a concubine. Thinking of this, Situ Yaoru couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, the situation was not right, so he endured it. Looking at General Situ, Situ Yaoru's eyes were ice-cold, but his tone was respectful. "Father, if a thief stole your item and returned it to you, would you say thank you?"

"Of course not. In this world, there is naturally no such foolish person." General Situ said lightly. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaoru laughed, "That is also reasonable. Since my younger sister is sitting in the seat that was originally mine, I will naturally not foolishly thank her for giving it back to me."

"Unfilial daughter!" How can it be the same! " General Situ was so angry that his beard was blown and his eyes were wide open.

The disturbance here had attracted the attention of the Upper Emperor. The emperor's gaze drifted over. "General? "What's the matter?"

When General Situ heard this, he quickly restrained his anger and said, "To reply your majesty, your subject is fine."

"That's good then. If General has any unhappiness, you can tell me." "The general's military exploits are impressive, and he is a great savior of our dynasty. In the future, I will have to rely on you."

The emperor kindly said. When General Situ heard this, he respectfully bowed and said, "Yes. This subject will definitely redouble his efforts. "

When the Emperor heard this, he smiled and didn't continue speaking.

As for Situ Yaoru, she couldn't help but applaud General Situ's stupidity. Hard work? What are you trying to do? Another merit? At that time, do you want the Emperor to give you half of the throne as well? Even if he were to seek death, he wouldn't take the initiative to help others sharpen their swords!

The emperor is obviously already dissatisfied with you for praising you like this in front of so many people. First he put on the hat, then he raised his knife. As she thought of this, Situ Yaoru became increasingly convinced that the Situ Family was not reliable. It was best to find another way out in the future and take that cheap mother with him. At the very least, he couldn't let her die with General Situ.

This person was stupid, that was his problem!

The banquet proceeded smoothly. Very soon, it was time for everyone to congratulate the empress dowager on her birthday.

The first to step forward were the princes. Because most of these princes weren't married yet, they had to personally prepare gifts. There was a meaning.

The Crown Prince had given him a pair of jade ruyi. Holding it in your hand will allow you to open your meridians. It had the effect of prolonging one's lifespan. What could be more comforting to an old man than to be able to live a little longer?

When the empress dowager received the jade ruyi, she smiled from ear to ear.

Next came the Second Prince. When the Empress Dowager was young, she liked to play the zither the most. And her beloved guqin was destroyed in a fire. At that time, in order to save the current emperor, she couldn't afford to care about that guqin.

This zither was created by the Second Prince to intentionally find someone to imitate the zither from back then. After the empress dowager received the guqin, she excitedly hugged it to her chest. Ye Zichen caressed with trembling fingers.

However, even though she was excited, her eyes were filled with an unconcealable sadness. This was still a surprise for Situ Yaoru, who was looking around with a lot of boredom.

From the looks of it, that guqin held a great significance to the Empress Dowager, right? No matter how good this zither was, it wasn't the same zither from before. Once something was lost, it would never come back.

Compared to the sincerity of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the Third Prince felt more affectionate. He took a thousand copies of his Buddhist scriptures and said they were a gift for the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager loved to pay her respects to Buddha. Seeing her grandson copying Buddhist scriptures for her, she was naturally extremely touched.

However, the one that attracted the most attention was the Sixth Prince. Almost everyone knew that the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince were at odds. The two of them had always been opposing each other. Right now, the jade ruyi that the Crown Prince had sent to him was rare. What about the Sixth Prince?

The facts proved that the Sixth Prince was someone who could compete with the Crown Prince. He was unwilling to be outdone as he gave her a stalk of ginseng: "Grandmother, this ginseng was specially dug out by my grandson. It is said that its color and age are the best in the world. This item will be gifted to your royal grandmother. "

One was life-saving medicine, while the other was life-saving medicine.

Situ Yaoyue couldn't help but be envious of Lin Ming for putting so much effort into this.

"Good, good, you children, you are all considerate." The empress dowager smiled kindly. Very soon, all of the princes and princes sent their gifts over. Even the princess had given her a gift. However, only the Seventh Prince was gone. This made the empress dowager rather dissatisfied. "Where's that child Xiao Qi?"

At the mention of Seventh Prince, everyone present felt awkward.

Seventh Prince was afraid of seeing women, and everyone knew it. Thus, most banquets would not care whether the Seventh Prince would come or not. But she never thought that the empress dowager would still be thinking about it!

For a time, everyone felt awkward. And the most awkward was the Emperor: "Behind the scenes, that child probably won't come."

"Is that so? That child Xiao Qi, I love him the most. "Why, don't you even look at this old woman?"

Of course, saying such words was no different from courting death. Situ Yaoru still hadn't said anything. Very soon, it was the ministers' turn to present their gifts.

Usually, the ministers would ask their daughters to present gifts. Firstly, they wanted their daughters to show their faces in front of their colleagues, and secondly, they wanted the princes to take a fancy to them.

The first to go was the Prime Minister's daughter. The person who came to present the gift was the youngest daughter of the prime minister, Mu Wanwan. The Prime Minister's family could be said to be in the same mess as the Situ Family!

However, the Prime Minister's family didn't have a good mistress like the Situ Family.

The Prime Minister's wife was a couple who shared hardships when the Prime Minister was poor. Since ancient times, his wife had never been able to leave the palace, which was why she had always followed the Prime Minister. But in reality, he wasn't favored at all. He only had a pair of children. His son went to the border and did not return home. She didn't know how to fight for it. As a result, the prime minister's estate was empty with his wife and descendants.

The youngest daughter of the Prime Minister was the daughter of the old Southern King and Princess Yue. Having been spoiled and raised from childhood.

She was the one who came to present the gift, so it was understandable.

"Wanwan offered a gift to Esteemed Empress Dowager." The woman's voice was crisp and her appearance was extremely adorable. When the empress dowager saw Mu Wanwan, she beamed. "Girl, your mouth is just sweet. Someone come, reward! "
