The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time
Chapter 552: Palace Banquet Incident (6)
When the empress dowager passed by Shen Yu and the others, she deliberately lowered her eyes and looked at them with contempt, as if to say, you guys made such a big noise, but am I not still the high and mighty empress dowager?
After the so-called big shots sat down, the emperor first gave some encouragement in an official tone, then music started playing, the dancers began to dance, the ministers ate and drank, and the scene looked lively and harmonious.
At this time, Prince De finally entered from the back in a low-key manner. If Shen Yu had not been paying attention to him, they might have missed his appearance.
After three consecutive songs and dances ended, it was time for the princes and grandchildren to present birthday gifts to the empress dowager.
The eldest prince and his wife were the most wealthy. They gave a large scarlet coral that was half a person's height as a gift, symbolizing health and longevity.
At Shen Yu's suggestion, the second prince presented a large birthday bun that he had made himself. The bun was as big as a person's arms, implying that the bigger the heart, the bigger the bun.
After all, he wanted something that was flashy but cost little... Shen Yu smiled evilly, and the two of them hit it off and decided to do this. After all, these were big buns made by his grandson himself, so how could they be compared to money and other vulgar things?
Later, it can be added to the menu of "Wangyue Tower" under the name of "The Queen also ate it", which is perfect!
When the Queen Mother saw this big boy, her facial expression twitched noticeably, and Shen Yu became even more satisfied. She lowered her eyes and smiled, hiding her achievements and fame.
As for themselves, of course they couldn't give anything too outrageous, otherwise it would easily cause trouble... Shen·Wealthy and Powerful·Yu directly ordered people to use gold to make a large gold plate with the words "Live as Long as the Southern Mountains" inscribed on it, with the main goal of not making any mistakes.
Until Earl Cheng En appeared, followed by eight palace servants, carrying a super large wooden box into the hall, everyone in the hall was guessing what it was.
Cheng Enbo stood up and walked to the front, bowed and saluted, "The Queen Mother is of an extremely noble status. In my opinion, she is a perfect person..."
Although she knew that his words were a compliment, the Queen Mother still curled her lips slightly, obviously enjoying it very much.
"If I were to ask if there is any place around the Queen Mother that can be decorated, I can only think of one place..."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the box suddenly opened one by one from the inside to the outside in four directions. Everyone saw a wisp of green smoke coming out, and inside the box were eight beauties holding longevity peaches!
Each of them is as beautiful as a flower and has a graceful figure. They dance gracefully against the backdrop of the fragrant mist. For a moment, it even feels like a fairyland.
"The Queen Mother is extremely noble. How is she different from the Fairy Queen described in the storybooks? In my opinion, the Fairy Queen is still missing eight fairies to follow her... So I took the initiative to help the Fairy Queen get the eight fairies together, hehehe!"
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded at him, "Nonsense!" Almost everyone present knew that her brother had been fond of beautiful women since he was a child. Earl Cheng En himself was not doing his job properly, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the oldest playboy in Luo City.
So it was not surprising that he would send a beautiful woman to the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, no, Fairy Queen~~ I have put in a lot of effort to find these eight fairies for you. When you go out in the future, just let them follow you. It will be so impressive! These beauties are all carefully selected by me. Take a look at them when you have nothing to do. It's so pleasing to the eyes, isn't it? I hope the Fairy Queen will accept it!"
The Queen Mother was very considerate and did not find this behavior abrupt at all. She even smiled and responded, "Eight fairies? Haha, all raise your heads and let me have a good look!"
The eight beauties standing in a row were indeed pretty, with the main point being that they all had bright eyes but no amorous feelings, which showed that they were of high social status. All of them had skin as white as snow, and wore uniform pink and white clothes. Even Shen Yu stared at them intently, not to mention the men present.
Each of them looked at him without blinking even when their wives were beside them, proving that Lord Cheng En had a good eye for selecting people.
It’s hard to describe the old emperor and the queen, but they are not given to me, so as long as the empress dowager is happy.
The Queen Mother also praised their beauty after seeing them, "They are indeed beauties. I have also been enlightened! You really put in a lot of effort this time!"
Cheng Enbo smiled and bowed slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother!"
The empress at the side seemed to be thinking. The emperor's harem had not had any new people for several years. Who didn't know that Cheng Enbo was following the orders of the empress dowager? Could it be that he was targeting her this time?
Did the Queen Mother want her to take action and propose to fill the Emperor's harem?
She secretly glanced at the emperor who showed no interest... Whatever, there was plenty of room in the palace anyway, and even ten or eight more could live there! Although the emperor's health was not as good as before, who wouldn't love a beauty?
Just as the Queen was about to speak, the Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject, "Although I also like this gift, these are girls of their prime years. Wouldn't it be a waste of their time if they followed behind an old woman like me? It's just that..." She looked at the Emperor with an embarrassed look on her face.
The emperor's mouth twitched. Was this prepared for him? What was going on? Then he glanced at the people below him with annoyance, and suddenly saw the Prince of De standing there, looking indifferent. Suddenly, he had a better idea.
"Mother, I already have enough concubines in my palace, and I have no intention of adding more. But my brother still refuses to marry a princess. How about you help him make some plans?"
Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat. Although his tone sounded like he was giving a suggestion, his intention to stir up trouble was too obvious.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. "It is really good to have someone who understands you. My son, why don't you..."
"Mother, wouldn't it be a burden to the girl if I were a useless man? What's the difference between that and staying by your side?" Prince De was too lazy to play a role with them and directly refused!
It happens every year. Aren’t you tired of it?
Although Shen Yu was unhappy, he couldn't help laughing when he saw him directly refuse. It seems that Prince De has been stuffed with women many times over the years!
"Princess Zhuo, are you happy?"
The Queen Mother's voice suddenly came from above. Before Shen Yu could come back to his senses, he heard her say, "By the way, you have been married for several years, but Prince Zhuo still only has one princess by his side. It's really too shabby. So, I will give these to you as a reward! There are no older women in Prince Zhuo's mansion to help you run the business. Offspring are the most important thing. I have neglected this in the past. Princess Zhuo, why don't you thank me quickly?"
She looked at Shen Yu proudly and said, "It depends on whether you dare to refuse."
Shen Yu, "..."
Shen Yu, "!!!"
Damn it, it turns out that they are targeting me today?!
Lu Yingxing held her hand in his palm under the table and pressed it gently, signaling her to be patient.
Mu Ruilin on the opposite side was also angry, and looked left and right anxiously, but Su Wei gently held him down and said, "Look again..."
He didn't believe that Lu Yingxing would agree. If he really dared to agree, even if it cost him his life, the Su family would take Yu'er away! !
The emperor finally relaxed his breath after being blocked in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today. He silently praised the empress dowager in his heart and agreed with her with a laugh, "Yes, yes, yes, the queen mother is still thoughtful. The elders' gift cannot be refused. Prince Zhuo, Princess Zhuo, thank you quickly!"
If they dared to refuse in public, it would be a great disrespect to the Queen Mother, especially Princess Zhuo, who would definitely be branded as jealous. If this matter were to get out, he wouldn't even have to do anything, as those old scholars in Zhuo City would be able to scold her to death with just one word!
Haha, it turns out that the old ones are the wisest. The emperor has already seen that the empress dowager has been hiding her true colors these days and has not exploded. It turns out that she has been waiting for this day!
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
Everyone finally looked up from their sitting position, and they didn't expect that the first person to jump out and oppose would be Duke Dingguo?
Shen Yu was also surprised. In order to avoid suspicion, they did not visit the mansion after arriving in Luocheng. They just sent gifts to Xiao Yanlei in the name of the twins. They didn't expect that he would openly help themselves?
"Even I have heard that Prince Zhuo once said that he only wanted one princess in his life. The phrase 'If you can only get one person's heart, you will never leave each other' is a beautiful saying passed down by word of mouth among the people. I know I can't do it, but the young people are willing to try. Shouldn't we help them? If the Queen Mother rewards them like this, isn't she going to ruin this beautiful thing herself?"
The Queen Mother was stunned by his words, and the smile on her face faded a little. This old thing actually dared to openly oppose her! She and their lineage really don't get along!
"Duke Dingguo, what you said is wrong. Can the younger generation act recklessly and the elders know it is wrong but not stop them? Look around the world, is there any prince who doesn't take concubines? Even the previous Prince Zhuo, his biological father, had several concubines in the backyard, right?"
As soon as she changed the subject, she looked at Shen Yu and the others and advised, "Prince Zhuo, I know you promised the princess not to take concubines, but she is young and ignorant. Don't you understand? Even if you love her as much as you love her, you still have to consider your offspring and descendants!"
Lu Yingxing, who was named, stood up slowly, first touched the top of Shen Yu's head in public to comfort him, then bowed to the leader to thank the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for their concern.
Finally, he set his sights on Lord Cheng En, curled his lips and smiled contemptuously, "May I ask Lord Cheng En, what are the origins of these women?"
Cheng Enbo was stunned, and suddenly he was furious. What did he mean? Did he think that the person he had found was someone of questionable character? Feeling insulted, he immediately knelt down and cried out for justice.
"Don't worry, Prince Zhuo. These eight women are not prostitutes from brothels. I would offer them to the Queen Mother. They are all girls from noble families. Their parents agreed to let them serve the Queen Mother because they knew they would enter the palace!" He glared back and yelled loudly. Do you really think you can have any woman? Pah! Who are you looking down on?
Shen Yu felt that he was just missing a handful of melon seeds to watch the show. Look at the Prince of De who was calmly drinking tea over there? If he said that this was not his doing, even Xiao Tiantian would not believe it!
Lu Yingxing looked at him coldly, "Oh? Really? Do you dare to use your title as a guarantee?"
At this time, Prince De finally spoke up, "Yes, does Earl Cheng En dare to use your title as a guarantee? Also, you know that Shen Yu is my adopted daughter, right?"
He was choked by his question. Although he didn't know if the two were necessarily related, he still nodded honestly, "I know, but this..."
"You know? Ha! Very good, since you know that Shen Yu is my daughter and Lu Yingxing is my son-in-law, and you dare to deceive the Queen Mother to send these women to Prince Zhuo's Mansion... So, what do you want to do?"
