Chapter 947 Good Luck
That night, there was a banquet in the palace.
The new emperor hosted a banquet for all civil and military officials to show that the monarch and his ministers were united in planning state affairs.
Before the dinner started, Fu Ciyi went to the imperial study room to look for Long Yi.
"Father, mother, Ning Ning, Bei Mo and Nan Yao are still in the palace, and I want to go back to accompany them."
Long Yi did not agree directly, but asked: "Today, the first day of the first lunar month, do you have nothing else to tell me?"
"It's really gratifying that my father has officially ascended the throne."
"That's all, I see you said it so reluctantly." Long Yi waved his hand, agreeing that his son should return to the palace. "Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year. It's time to move into his own mansion. You can go back early today to prepare."
Fu Ciyi bowed: "Thank you very much, Father."
"Yeah."
Long Yi waved his hand again.
Fu Ciyi left the palace and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.
As soon as he reached their courtyard in Mingzhu Garden, he went straight to the bedroom.
"Ning Ning."
He probably went too far last night.
She was slightly injured. When I applied medicine to her, I found redness, swelling and a cut. I felt extremely guilty.
So he spent the whole day wondering if she was feeling better.
I didn't even want to attend the palace banquet, so I just wanted to come back to accompany her.
Regarding his return, Yan Funing was surprised: "Didn't I say that there will be a palace banquet tonight, and it will be attended by hundreds of civil and military officials? Why are you back?"
"Do you have any better ones?"
"It's okay."
"Is everything okay?" He didn't believe it, "Let me see."
"It's really okay." She smiled slightly, "Since you're back, you have to tell the kitchen to make some more dishes." Then she called out, "Caiyu, go and add some more dishes."
"Okay, maid, go now."
Caiyu's voice came and she left quickly.
Fu Ciyi then said: "On the left and right, hundreds of civil and military officials are participating. In a few days, my position as chief assistant will probably be removed, so it doesn't matter whether I attend the palace banquet or not."
"It just so happens that we can have a good meal tonight." Yan Funing took out the remaining red envelopes, "I asked Lengfeng Lengying to take some to Fu Mansion and Nanshan this morning. The ones at home haven't been distributed yet, so I thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity. It will be served during dinner, and everyone will be happy together.”
She handed him a thick stack of red envelopes: "Just send it."
"What you prepared is naturally yours to send." Fu Ciyi was still worried about her and said softly, "Take a look at it at night."
"Yeah." She smiled playfully at him, "It's really okay."
Two quarters of an hour later, dinner began in Mingzhu Garden.
As usual, the master and his servants eat together.
Qiao Wanyou raised her glass and said loudly: "Today is the New Year, let's eat well and drink well."
"Okay."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
Qiao Wanyou added: "From now on, we, mother and son, will all depend on you. I will drink this glass of wine first as a token of respect."
"What did the empress say?"
"Yes, your Majesty, we will do whatever your Majesty asks us to do from now on."
"We are loyal!"
"So, thank you all!"
Qiao Wanyou poured herself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
After three rounds of wine, Yan Funing handed out red envelopes one by one: "Red envelopes for the New Year, for celebration and good luck."
Jiang He Hu Hai and others all received red envelopes.
"We are wearing brand new clothes today and we have red envelopes. We are so happy!" Fu Jiang said, "In the morning, I saw Lengfeng Lengying holding a thick stack and asked him to give me one. He also No. "I asked them to send it to Fu Mansion and Nanshan first. Your party is still in my hands."
After saying that, Yan Funing sent the red seal to Leng Feng Lengying's hand: "Well, they didn't receive it until now."
Everyone laughed.
Fu Ciyi said: "Let's eat well tonight. Let's move tomorrow. Ning Ning and I will go to our own mansion. Beimo has to go to the prince's house first, and then come to our house. As for mother and Nan Yao, they should probably go in tomorrow. The palace is here.”
Fu Nanyao was surprised: "Ah, do we have to live separately tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Fu Ciyi nodded.
"Brother and sister-in-law, can I come and stay at your house occasionally?" Fu Nanyao said, looking lonely.
Yan Funing nodded gently: "Of course it's okay. You can choose a yard to live in by yourself."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Fu Nanyao felt better now.
Meng Li asked in a low voice: "Master, who should I follow?"
"Of course you're following me." Fu Beimo and Fu Nanyao said in unison.
Fu Nanyao rushed to ask: "Brother, you agreed to let Ali follow me, right?"
Fu Beimo said: "Ruan-face is a princess, living in the inner palace. I live in the prince's residence, and the prince's residence can bring guards. Ali, it's legal for you to follow me, in what name do you follow her?"
Meng Liwen was knocked down by one sentence.
He looked at Fu Ciyi with a sad expression.
Fu Ciyi said softly: "You'd better follow Bei Mo. If you follow him, you can use Bei Mo's name to go see Nan Yao."
Even if Meng Li is given the status of a royal guard, he cannot enter and exit the princess's palace at will.
My sister's reputation is important.
That's all for now.
Meng Li nodded: "I listen to the young master."
Aunt Li said with a smile: "Old slave, please tell me a few words. You young people, why do you still call me Young Master? You should call Your Highness."
Li Xinheng also said: "Yes, my mother is right. The young master is now the third prince, so he is the third prince, and the young lady is the third prince's concubine. Miss Nanyao is the fifth princess, and Mr. Beimo is now the ninth prince, that is. Your Majesty, Ninth Prince. Let’s change the name of our master first, so as not to make the servants in the courtyard laugh.”
Everyone agreed: "It makes sense, it makes sense."
When the title was changed, everyone tried to shout, and the laughter continued for a while.
Qiao Wanyou smiled and shook her head: "Okay, let's eat. The food is getting cold."
Everyone said yes.
Fu Beimo kept eating and talking a lot: "Brother, today my father ascends the throne, is there anything worth mentioning?"
Fu Ciyi said: "The ascension to the throne went smoothly because after he accepted the visit of hundreds of civil and military officials, he discussed how to enthrone the Queen Mother, and the courtiers had some disputes."
"What's the result?" Fu Beimo asked again.
Fu Ciyi then explained the results.
In the concubine's courtyard at this moment.
Mrs. Ling sat aside, not daring to say a word.
The concubine was pacing back and forth, not in the mood to eat.
"How unreasonable, how unreasonable!" she shouted angrily, "When my son became the emperor, it was natural for me to become the empress dowager, right? But she was an emperor empress dowager, and she was still a long way from an empress dowager."
Mrs. Ling persuaded in a low voice: "Aunt, the Queen Mother is also the Queen Mother."
"You ask me, do you think I don't know?" The concubine choked coldly, "I am the empress dowager. That is because I can become the empress dowager because of my aunt."
"Aunt, the current question is, how can you become the empress dowager?" Ling asked, "As long as there is a way, can we do it according to the method?"
"You reminded me of this." The concubine sat down and lowered her voice, "Only when the legitimate mother is gone can the biological mother be named the empress dowager."
"The Queen Mother is now over eighty years old, and she is one year older in the New Year." Ling persuaded her softly, "Aunt, just wait, you will be the Queen Mother in a few years."
"But I don't want to wait. The thought of that old woman still riding on my head makes me angry."
