The country is the matchmaker!Princess Black Lotus is reborn as a poisonous concubine

"It's all the wishes of the elders, just keep it." Concubine Xian spoke with a smile.

Mu Yun and Gao Ning thanked each other in unison, and after saying a few auspicious New Year words to General Shang, they exited Wanchunyuan, leaving space for the father and daughter who had not seen each other for many years to reminisce.

When General Shang Da saw Concubine Xian smiling happily, his heart that had been hanging around finally returned to its original place.

"Chenxi, seeing you in good health and in a happy mood makes my father feel relieved."

Concubine Xian hurriedly led General Shang to sit down.

"Father, everything is fine with my daughter now in the Villa. You just saw those two little girls. They are very popular. When my daughter looks at them, she seems to have returned to the happy time when she was at the General's Mansion. That Although my daughter was cold and taciturn, her mood was relaxed and joyful, something she had never experienced in the twenty years she had lived in Xingming Palace."

General Shang smiled and said to Concubine Xian: "I see that you also gave Jun'er the jade bracelet your mother gave you before she died. It seems that you are very satisfied with her."

"Satisfied." Concubine Xian raised her hand and signaled the maids to quickly serve tea to General Shang. She sat opposite General Shang, "Jun'er is good everywhere, how could I not like it? Now she works hard for When a first-born child gives birth to an heir, you don’t even know, father, how much your daughter loves her.”

Speaking of Mu Yun, Concubine Xian smiled with crooked eyebrows, "As if she is my daughter."

General Shang smiled and nodded, "Chen Xi still doesn't know that your second brother has been to the other village, right?"

Concubine Xian shook her head, "Second brother has been here? I couldn't see people before. My daughter really didn't know about this."

"It's nothing," General Shang breathed a sigh of relief. "He was just here to hand over Chu'er's property to Jun'er to take care of. It's all trivial matters. I was afraid that he would make a mistake while drinking outside, so I didn't tell him about your matter."

General Shang Da admired his grandson-in-law more and more. She really didn't tell Chen Xi at all about the second child's troubles, which shows that she is calm and generous, and she has the demeanor of a mother who cares about the world.

At the same time, she is not a person who can suffer losses, and handles things neatly and neatly. In the future, if she takes a back seat, she will definitely be able to intimidate the courtiers and people.

He had never doubted Zhuo Lingchu's vision, but now that he had seen her, he could understand Zhuo Ling's original disregard for this woman.

If I can get this girl, my country will be safe.

Although the father and daughter have not seen each other for many years, they are as close as ever. General Shang Da talked with Concubine Xian about some household matters, gave her a few more instructions, then stood up and left.

Concubine Xian reluctantly bid farewell to General Shang. She stared at her father's departing figure in front of the window for a long time before she was willing to look away.

Soon, soon, when Chu'er sits in that position, she can see each other every day like an ordinary father and daughter.

......

On New Year's Eve, to pray for blessings and good fortune, Xingming Palace held a grand palace banquet as usual. After the palace banquet, the emperor will go to Guang'an Gate to light up sky lanterns to pray for his people. All important royal family members must be present.

At the palace banquet, Emperor Rui deliberately did not drink too much in order to avoid losing his composure at Guang'an Gate in front of all the people. He just asked the eunuch to place the jade pot that Zhuo Taining presented last time on the table. The eunuch poured a cup lightly, raised it and said to the princes, ministers and royal family members in the audience: "The king and his ministers drank together, spent a good night, bid farewell to the old year, welcomed the new year, sang and danced all night long, I wish the world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

The audience all echoed: "May your Majesty live forever and may the sea and rivers in Xichang be clear!"

Everyone's attention was focused on the harmonious atmosphere. Only Zhuo Lingchu and Zhuo Taining stared at the glass of wine on Rui Emperor's lips from the corner of their eyes. When Emperor Rui covered his sleeves and drank the wine in one gulp, the two brothers, who had their own thoughts, were willing to look away.

Zhuo Taining felt lucky that he had made the right bet on his father's preference for him.

In order to avoid his concern, his father brought a jade jug to the New Year's Eve palace banquet after ordering someone to confirm that the Crane Year wine was non-toxic, so that the courtiers could see how satisfied he was with his filial piety.

It's just that a glass of wine doesn't seem to be enough medicine. Although he sprinkled the entire bottle of medicine into the jug, how much Ruidi could drink ultimately depended on his ability.

"Father," Zhuo Taining walked up to Emperor Rui with a wine cup, "I was so happy to see that you brought the Crane Year wine that I gave you last time. The reason why this wine is named Crane "Nian" means prolonging life and longevity. You will go up high and light up the lanterns in a while. You can drink more to drive away the cold. I will toast you with another drink. I wish my father, Song He, prolongs life and may you be as blessed as the East Sea!"

Zhuo Taining's words obviously pleased Emperor Rui's heart. He raised his head and smiled heartily. The eunuch next to him immediately saw the opportunity and filled Emperor Rui's wine cup with his hands.

"My son has won my heart deeply. I will drink this wine."

He has given birth to so many sons, so Zhuo Taining is a warm-hearted person. Look at that second brother, sitting there with a cold face, not even taking the initiative to say a word of blessing to him.

As his thoughts swirled, not a drop of the wine in the wine cup in Rui Emperor's hand was left in his mouth.

“This wine is full of aroma and has a sweet aftertaste. It’s a great wine!”

Receiving this compliment, Zhuo Taining worked hard, winked at the eunuch frequently, and persuaded Emperor Rui to drink one cup after another. Until Emperor Rui noticed that his eyes were getting blurry, he waved his hands repeatedly, "I've been really drunk recently. I won't drink until I drink." Sorry, it won’t be good if something goes wrong in a while.”

Zhuo Taining was instantly shocked and said, "Father, there is still some time left in the ion time. I will take you to the side hall to rest for a while."

Emperor Rui tried his best to open his tired eyes and nodded slightly, "Yes, Ning'er will stay with me."

In this way, Zhuo Taining and the chief eunuch carried Emperor Rui into the side hall, one on the left and the other on the right. Before leaving, Zhuo Taining did not forget to take the half-empty jade wine jug with him.

On weekdays, Emperor Rui often reviewed memorials and rested here in order to make it easier for him to go to court. Zhuo Taining helped him sit down on the couch, while the eunuch on the side went to make sobering tea for Emperor Rui.

Right now, in the huge side hall, there are only two people, father and son.

Zhuo Taining couldn't help but feel a little thirsty. However, thinking about the injustice he had suffered these days, the nervousness and discomfort that arose in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He first tested the properties of the medicine, and after some calculation in his mind, he asked the busy eunuch to stop making tea and go to the main hall to get a fruit plate.

Emperor Rui looked at his son in confusion, thinking that he had not eaten enough at the banquet just now.

Zhuo Lingchu took the fruit plate and held the imperial silver-plated fork with a Ruyi handle in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he forked a small piece of peeled apple and handed it to Emperor Rui.

"Father, you don't like apples the most on weekdays, and you don't even bother to look at them. However," Zhuo Taining looked at Emperor Rui with a half-smile, with a frivolity in his tone that he never showed before, "This is handed to your mouth by my son, please take a bite."

The eunuch who was making tea with boiling hot water was stunned.

This scene is really weird.
