I rely on gossip to save the country

Time passed quickly during Xie Chuyue's busy days, and soon it was Emperor Mingde's birthday.

On the eve of the birthday banquet, in the Tianlu Hall, where guests were received, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy making arrangements.

Inside the hall, the golden nanmu tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the brocade tablecloths were embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, which were simple and elegant yet solemn. On each table, jade plates and golden bowls were arranged in a dazzling array.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Xie Chuyue prepared ibuprofen capsules for her father. She originally planned to give them to Emperor Mingde and then tell him how to take them.

But she thought that if she just sent it over like that, it would arouse suspicion. After all, they had never seen this kind of strange medicine before, and they might not dare to use it. So she poured out all the medicine, crushed it, and packed it together in small packages.

On Emperor Mingde's birthday, Xie Chuyue packed up early and went to Concubine Rong's Xueyang Palace. She wanted to go with Concubine Rong.

Because it was the emperor's birthday, the whole country celebrated, the emperor issued a general amnesty, and the people cheered.

Civil and military officials in the court came with their families, princes and nobles, and envoys from various countries all came to congratulate him. Everyone was smiling, but it was unclear how real or fake this smile was.

The whole palace was bustling with activity. As the musical instruments played, envoys from various countries and civil and military officials entered the palace one after another.

All civil and military officials wore court robes in uniform, while foreign envoys wore the gorgeous costumes of their respective countries, which was a bit out of place.

After entering the hall, civil and military officials of Nanyue State sat on the left, while envoys from various countries sat on the right.

The ministers took their seats in order according to their official rank. When everyone was seated, they were waiting for Emperor Mingde to appear.

After that, they didn't have to wait long.

The eunuch's voice came from outside the Tianlu Hall: "The Emperor has arrived, and Concubine Rong has arrived. The Crown Prince has arrived, and Princess Chunyang has arrived."

After a moment, Emperor Mingde, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, appeared outside the hall.

Emperor Mingde was wearing a dragon robe, which exuded natural majesty and a natural domineering aura.

When everyone saw this, they all wanted to prostrate themselves in worship for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

The envoys from various countries had calm expressions at the time, with no emotion on their faces.

Next to Emperor Mingde was Concubine Rong, and following behind him were Xie Yunqi and Xie Chuyue.

When the two of them appeared with the emperor, envoys from various countries would sigh in amazement. The crown prince would be fine, but they were puzzled as to why Xie Chuyue, a mere princess, was so honored in the Nanyue Kingdom.

When the civil and military officials saw this, they all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor!

May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!

May His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!

May Princess Chunyang live a thousand years and a thousand years!"

Civil and military officials, as well as courtiers of the Nanyue Kingdom, all knelt on the ground.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please stand up!" Emperor Mingde was in a good mood. He smiled, raised his hand, and walked towards the main seat.

Now that there is no queen, Concubine Rong is the concubine with the highest status in the harem. Although she is not on an equal footing with the emperor, she sits below him.

Xie Chuyue sat next to Concubine Rong, and the prince sat to the emperor's left.

When the light came, everyone just sat down, and all the civil and military officials brought their families to kneel again and shouted, "Your Majesty, we wish you great blessings, a long life, good health, and a long life!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up!"

The smile on Emperor Mingde's face was more sincere: "My birthday banquet, you don't have to be so restrained, just treat it like a family banquet, just be casual!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up! They answered, "Yes!"

Xie Chuyue complained to the system in her heart, "Look at what Father said, this is too official, how can this be compared to a family banquet! Whose family banquet even has foreign envoys present? Whose family banquet is so timid?"

Emperor Mingde: …………

Civil and military officials: Why do they suddenly find that what the little princess said makes sense? Although they responded verbally, they really didn't dare to speak carelessly. If they accidentally said something wrong, they would lose their official positions! They are not stupid!

System: [Host, your father's response is just an official one, just listen to it.]

"Okay, please take your seats." The majestic voice of Emperor Mingde sounded, and then he waved his hand, and the palace maids and guards came up with plates of dishes and delicacies.

The birthday banquet began, with wine and food flowing in the hall, singing and dancing, and everyone sitting together, chatting, having a great time.

Xie Chuyue sat in the seat that belonged to her alone and ate happily.

She is the only little princess of Nanyue Kingdom, and her status is almost equivalent to that of the crown prince. All her configurations are almost the same as those of the crown prince, so she also sits in the front row.

After a period of singing and dancing, all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the official families, sent their blessings and gifts to the emperor!

Civil and military officials gave antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of strange and eccentric things as gifts. What's worse, some people even gave silver directly, which left Xie Chuyue dumbfounded.

Xie Chuyue: [Tong, this is also possible???]

System: [Host, this person is a straightforward person. I don’t know what to give, so I just give him money. ]

After hearing this, Xie Chuyue could only sigh and say how rich he was!

After the civil and military officials had presented their gifts, envoys from various countries also brought out their gifts one after another. After all, the two countries had diplomatic relations, and they did not have any bad intentions in the gifts.

Business as usual.

Xie Yunqing got a famous painting from somewhere and gave it to Emperor Mingde. From the smile on Emperor Mingde's face, it can be seen that he liked it very much.

What Xie Yunqi presented was a piece of beautiful jade, and Emperor Mingde happily accepted it.

What Xie Yunshen gave was a night-shining pearl, as big as a fist.

Xie Chuyue gritted her teeth secretly, [Okay, okay, everyone is richer than the other, they are all talented, and I am the only pauper.

Well, if there are too many talented people, there has to be a loser to set them off, and I am that loser. 】

All the civil and military officials in the court said: Their little princess is quite self-aware.

Xie family father and son: …………

Seeing that everyone had given their gifts, several brothers of the Xie family, Concubine Rong and others looked at Xie Chuyue nervously.

They all asked this girl, and Xie Chuyue said that she didn't need help, she could do it herself. I wonder what this girl is preparing for this year?

After seeing the gifts from everyone, Xie Chuyue began to feel a little regretful: "What should I do? Compared to everyone else's gifts, mine seems a little inferior. What should I do? If I had known earlier, I would have prepared another one."

System: [Host, this world doesn't have ibuprofen or anything like that yet, so you can give it away. Your filial piety will move your father.]

Xie Chuyue: [OK! ]

When everyone heard Xie Chuyue say that it was a bit embarrassing to give, they became curious about what she was going to give.

The envoys from various countries looked at the people from Nanyue Kingdom curiously, wondering why these people were looking at Princess Chunyang?

After Xie Chuyue prepared herself mentally, she stood up and Qingyan handed her a wooden box.

Xie Chuyue came to the emperor's side, holding the box and smiling, "I, your son, pay my respects to your father. Long live your father. I wish your father good health, longevity, and a long and prosperous life."

Emperor Mingde's hearty laughter echoed throughout the Tianlu Palace, "Hahaha, good, good, my Yue'er is thoughtful."

Emperor Mingde did not ask his daughter what she had given him. He was afraid that his daughter would be embarrassed in front of so many people, so he quickly asked her to get up.

Emperor Mingde signaled to Fu Yuande. Fu Yuande received the order and came to Xie Chuyue's side. He took the medicine box from Xie Chuyue and handed it to Emperor Mingde. Emperor Mingde took it personally and placed it beside him.

Xie Chuyue stood up straight and explained to her father, "Father, I know that you are exhausted from handling state affairs and often have headaches. So I found a good medicine from the folks to relieve your pain. This medicine is called Ibuprofen. I guarantee that after you drink it, your pain will be relieved immediately."

Xie Chuyue felt that the gift she gave was a little insignificant, and it would be embarrassing if she didn't explain.

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde could hardly suppress the upward curve of his lips. She was indeed his caring little cotton-padded jacket, much more reliable than those bad boys. She knew that he was not feeling well, so she sent him medicine.

"My son, you have taken so much trouble. I will reward you handsomely. I am very pleased to have such a daughter."

Xie Chuyue said, "It is my duty as a son to share my father's worries."

After saying that, he retreated.

Xie Yunqi curled the corners of his mouth. He was still worried about this girl, but this girl really grew up and knew how to please others.

Not long after Xie Chuyue sat down, Princess Jianing of Beiqi Kingdom could no longer sit still and walked over with a wine glass.

Xie Chuyue: [Tong, this is Princess Jianing who has been looking for me? Hey, what do you think she is doing here? ]

System: [I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, the host will act according to circumstances. 】

Princess Jianing came over and stood in front of Xie Chuyue, holding up her wine glass and speaking with a smile,

"I have long heard of Princess Chunyang's great name, and I have come here to make her acquaintance. I hope Princess Chunyang will not despise me?"
