Two days later, it was the little prince’s hundred-day banquet.

Ye Yanxing attended with Fu Qianrun and Xiaopang.

When they arrived at the palace, almost all the civil and military officials were present, and officials above the fifth rank all brought their families with them.

At such a large banquet, they do not distinguish between seats for men and women.

Family seats are placed next to the seats of all officials who bring their families.

Ye Yanxing took Fu Qianrun to sit in the seats assigned to them, and the wet nurse and Fuling took Xiaopang behind them.

"Nephew." As soon as Ye Yanxing sat down, a voice sounded beside him.

Ye Yanxing turned his head and looked over. It was a person he didn't know, but he was sitting in front of him. He had a young face and called him nephew. He thought it was King Wei Ye Beiting.

The other two princes had not been seen yet, and Ye Yanxing guessed that they would not come.

"Fourth uncle, how are you?" Ye Yanxing greeted him.

"Okay, okay, I think the person next to you is Ruyu. I'm sorry that I couldn't come back for your wedding." Ye Beiting had a smile on his face and said sorry, but there was no apology in his tone.

"How is King Wei?" Fu Qianrun followed with a greeting.

Ye Beiting nodded in response.

"Nothing. Fourth Uncle is busy. I can understand." Ye Yanxing said calmly.

The truth is that he and Ye Beiting are not familiar with each other and don't want to make these false greetings.

"Don't be so cold, I took care of you when you were a child!" Ye Beiting didn't care whether Ye Yanxing wanted to or not, and insisted on talking to him.

Ye Yanxing was speechless and really wanted to tell him that the person he brought was not me!

"Thank you for your care, Fourth Uncle."

"Look, you're boring now. Bring your son over here for me to take a look." Ye Beiting glanced at Xiaopang.

Ye Yanxing did not refuse. He signaled the nanny to bring Xiaopang over and introduced him, "My son, Ye Chenan."

"Oh, the little guy looks exactly like you when you were a child! So handsome." Ye Beiting praised with a smile, and then took out a top-quality mutton-fat jade pendant, "It's just a small gift, I hope your nephew won't despise it."

"How could that be? Thank you, uncle." Ye Yanxing took the jade pendant and put it around Xiaopang's neck.

When Ye Beiting saw Ye Yanxing putting it on the child without any hesitation, he finally smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Regardless of whether Ye Yanxing accepted it sincerely or did it for show, this scene made him feel comfortable.

There was something extra on his neck, and Xiaopang kept pulling it with his hands to play with it.

When he hit his face for who knows how many times and wanted to cry, Ye Yanxing directly stuffed the jade pendant into his collar.

"Ah, ah." Xiaopang reached out to grab the jade pendant, but couldn't find it. He kept looking at Ye Yanxing and calling out, with an expression as if asking him, where is my thing?

"No more, stop playing." Ye Yanxing asked the nanny to take him away.

Once we got to the back, Xiaopang became quiet. When he was bored, he would just stare at the ceiling and wouldn't interact with the nanny or Fuling at all.

Ye Beiting kept talking to Ye Yanxing. Some people who had wanted to come over to find them stopped in their tracks when they saw that they were still chatting and did not dare to interrupt.

People nearby were a little surprised to hear that Ye Yanxing had a son. They had never thought that Ye Yanxing would have an illegitimate child, and it seemed that the mother had been killed and the son was left behind.

It seems that Fu Qianrun is not as favored by King Yan as the legend says.

Otherwise, how could there be illegitimate children?

But even so, it couldn't dispel the other little thoughts in my mind.

Let’s not talk about Ye Yanxing for now, as for Ye Beiting, there are still many people who have ulterior motives.

Ye Beiting is still single, and no matter what the reason is, as long as he is willing to marry someone, everything is possible.

But Ye Beiting is a stubborn person.

Besides, Ye Yanxing already has a principal wife, so the position of concubine is still vacant, right?

Therefore, all the unengaged women present were eager to make a move, and many of them came to the banquet with this idea in mind.

Their gazes were so naked that Ye Yanxing had no choice but to ignore them, but he didn't want to explain anything either.

He didn't live to be what they said he was.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

As they hesitated, a voice came from outside the door.

Ye Beiting also stopped talking and sat down in his seat.

Ye Xingche and the Queen walked in side by side.

"Greetings to the Emperor and Empress. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress, a thousand years and a thousand years!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Because it was a wedding banquet, there was no need to kneel and kowtow when facing the emperor. This was a unique rule of the Qingli Dynasty.

"Everyone is safe."

Ye Xingche sat down in the first seat, the queen sat beside him, and a nanny stood not far away holding a child.

"Today is the emperor's hundred-day banquet. Don't be restrained, just treat it as a family dinner."

The first step is to pray for the little prince. Since the late emperor passed away and the former imperial teacher stepped down, Ye Xingche resigned from this position.

So he asked the abbot of Huguo Temple to be in charge of this prayer.

The nanny carried the little prince to the center of the hall and prayed for the abbot.

The blessing process is very simple and is completed in no time.

After praying, Ye Xingche announced in public that the little prince would be made the crown prince and named him Ye Xiuran.

Cultivate both blessings and good fortune, and be full of righteousness.

Next comes the gift-giving part.

The first one was Ye Beiting. He also gave a piece of mutton-fat white jade, the same one he gave to Xiaopang.

Then came Ye Yanxing, who gave a cheetah with pure white fur without a single spot.

This was what he encountered last night when he and the king went out to the forest outside the city and found themselves in a very remote cave.

This little cheetah must have been just born. There was still blood on its body and it was lying in the corner of the cave, dying.

If the king hadn't insisted on coming, Ye Yanxing probably wouldn't have come even if he had noticed that there were living beings here.

There are so many living creatures on this mountain, it is impossible for him to save them all.

Originally thought it was just a small thing, but unexpectedly it was a pure-colored cheetah. Ye Yanxing immediately changed his mind and rescued the little cheetah immediately.

There was another breath left in the cave. Ye Yanxing guessed it was from the female leopard, but now the female leopard was nowhere to be found.

After stabilizing its vital signs, Ye Yanxing took it back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, it was cured with the help of Fu Qianrun's special powers.

Ye Yanxing was originally struggling with what gift to give to his nominal nephew, and now, this leopard arrived at the right time.

Moreover, pure-colored leopards are extremely rare. Even Ye Yanxing had never seen one before. He had only heard of this species.

In the main hall, Ye Ling brought in a cage containing a little cheetah. Everyone else was talking about what kind of animal King Yan was sending.

"Brother Emperor, I am sending a little leopard to the Crown Prince as a pet."

After Ye Yanxing finished speaking, he lifted the cloth covering the cage, and a little white leopard appeared in front of everyone.

"What a beautiful leopard!"

“It’s actually a white leopard!”

"King Yan is very capable!"

Others began to praise him.

When the leopard was first mentioned, everyone was a little scared, and they had heard that Ye Yanxing had brought a tiger into the city.

After all, tigers are dangerous species, and everyone was already quite dissatisfied with this matter. Now with the leopard involved, the way people looked at him became even more strange.

Why does this King Yan always do dangerous things?

And this is the imperial palace, how dare he?

But now, when everyone saw such a tiny and cute little thing, they temporarily forgot about its dangerousness and were left with only praise and love.
