Chapter 176 Looking at each other with disgust
In the Chuxiu Palace, Cui Xiu just sneezed. He took the square towel in his hand and gently wiped the tip of his nose. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, Who is thinking about her? This sneeze made her head hurt.
"Mother, is it because the quilt was not pressed tightly last night and I am freezing?" Chunfeng heard Cui Xiu's sneezing sound and came up to express concern.
"How about I ask the small kitchen to make a cup of brown sugar soup to warm up the empress."
When Cui Xiu heard Chunfeng's words, he raised his hand and waved, She said no, it wasn't because she was freezing, but someone was "thinking of her" behind her back.
"No need, I'm going to the banquet soon. If I drink the soup, I won't be able to eat anything for dinner." Cui Xiu said, with a light expression on his face. He didn't have any other problems because of these sneezes. idea.
Cui Xiu knows that there are many people in the harem who "care about" her. They all hope that she will fall as soon as possible, so that they will have many opportunities.
But Cui Xiu is in good health. She is determined to live longer than that dog emperor. She wants to die for that emperor with her own eyes.
Chunfeng heard Cui Xiu's words. She knew that Cui Xiu must have her own meaning when she said this. She did not go against Cui Xiu and followed it: "Since the empress has said so, then Chunfeng will Let’s go down and prepare other things for the queen.”
As soon as Chunfeng stepped out, Qiufeng came in. The two of them seemed to have agreed upon it, and they almost never left Cui Xiu.
"Empress, the fifth prince is here."
As soon as Qiu Feng said these words, the fifth prince came in. He walked up to Cui Xiu, saluted and said: "Yan'er meets my mother, my concubine, I wish you all the best." Jin An."
Seeing how respectful the fifth prince was, Cui Xiu also stood up, raised his hand to support the fifth prince, and said like a mother, "Get up."
"There don't need to be so many rules between you and me, mother and son."
When the fifth prince heard Cui Xiu's words, a faint smile appeared on his face, echoing Cui Xiu's words. They are playing the role of mother here. A loving son and a filial piety, no one loses anyone's interest.
Seeing the fifth prince like this, Cui Xiu couldn't help but applaud him in her heart, thinking: "This child has such endurance when he is only a teenager. No wonder he was able to hide it from her back then."
"Sure enough, these people who can be emperor are not ordinary people, and their singing skills are also unparalleled."
Cui Xiu didn't like the fifth prince, but due to the different circumstances today, , if you need to act, you should do it in advance, just in case when it comes to a banquet, she will suddenly act like a "mother, a loving child, a filial son" in a strange and unfamiliar way, which will be seen as fake.
Cui Xiu is practicing his acting skills with the Fifth Prince.
As for the fifth prince, he also had various complaints about Cui Xiu in his heart. Although Cui Xiu was his biological mother in his heart, he had never fulfilled the obligations of a biological mother.
It was really difficult for him to rely on Cui Xiu.
The fifth prince secretly vowed in his heart that he must win the position of crown prince. Not only that, he also wanted to be the emperor and prove it to his mother, Concubine Jia.
He, Li Ruoyan, has the potential to be an emperor, and he can achieve the position of emperor.
He is not an ordinary person, he is the True Dragon Emperor.
Cui Xiu doesn't know what the fifth prince is thinking right now. If she knew, she would definitely laugh loudly and lose her teeth.
The fifth prince in the previous life did become the emperor, but he did not become the emperor because he was the True Dragon Emperor. It was because of the great help of her Cui Xiu and the Cui family, the Duke of Xu's palace, and the insignificant help of the dog emperor.
He really thought that he was a dishonor, and even said that he was the real Dragon Emperor. Concubine Ning is really holding her up every day, turning her into a retard.
Unfortunately, Cui Xiu does not have the ability to read minds, and she does not know what the fifth prince is thinking.
But these are not important. What is important is that if Germany is not matched, you will fall from your high position and be shattered into pieces.
Being so ambitious never ends well. Since the fifth prince is so arrogant and never listens to the dissuasion of others, Cui Xiu doesn't want to stop him anymore. After all, the relationship between them is just a "show of love between mother and son."
Cui Xiu boasts that he can achieve this level, which is already the end of his benevolence. In the days to come, the fifth prince will inevitably suffer.
The two sat in Chuxiu Palace for a while. Because they had nothing in common, the atmosphere was awkward. When the time was almost up, the fifth prince accompanied Cui Xiu to the banquet.
Above the banquet, Concubine Yun and Concubine Jia sat on both sides of the emperor. The other concubines sat on the lower seats a few steps lower. In the lobby a few steps lower, the long aisle continued. Go to the door.
On both sides of the aisle, there are two rows of low tables. The ministers who came to the banquet have almost already sat down. After all, they are attending a royal banquet. No one dares to be late for a moment in front of the emperor. If the emperor wants to see Whoever is late will not have to do his job anymore.
Just wash your hands and go home to "retire".
We are all officials in Kyoto, and everyone has a thousand tricks. Everyone knows that they can offend no one but the emperor, because the emperor is a "small-minded" and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.
The courtiers who came first politely chatted with their colleagues for a few words. Before the emperor came, they were still relatively loose. There were rules in the looseness. After all, it was not the first time for those who came here to attend the banquet. here.
The more times I come here, the more I get used to it, and the nervousness I used to feel lessened.
After the emperor came out, they all saluted him in unison and said: "Welcome to the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
The emperor, who was standing at the highest position, looked at the courtiers in the audience, his eyes were calm, and he said majesticly: "Everyone loves me."
After the emperor finished speaking, he gestured to the eunuchs beside him, After receiving the signal from the emperor, the eunuch immediately shouted to the door: "Let's have a banquet——!"
Although this sound only had two words, the tail of the sound was stretched very long. The whole palace was filled with lingering sounds, and the ministers all raised their spirits.
This banquet seems to be about eating and drinking, but it is actually a way for the emperor to inspect his ministers. On weekdays, there is not much contact between the emperor and his ministers in the court, except for a few who often Those who spoke, the rest did not have much chance to impress the emperor.
And now the emperor is hosting a banquet in the palace to give those little transparent people a chance.
But such an opportunity is both an opportunity and a challenge. If you make good use of it, it will be remembered by the emperor. If it is useful in the future, the emperor will think of it.
But if he fails to make good use of it and leaves a bad impression on the emperor, then he will probably not be approached if anything happens in the future. Any hard work may happen to him once and for all. on the head.
It seems that the courtiers still pay special attention to the banquets in the palace.
After the banquet, the emperor first made some inquiries, and then went through a few procedures, and the emperor felt a little tired.
After the emperor left the banquet, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and each began to build relationships and chat for their own purposes.
The fifth prince took this opportunity to find his second uncle Cui Chu.
