Chapter 286 New Year’s Eve Banquet
New Year’s Eve arrives as promised amidst great anticipation.
The streets were bustling with activity early in the morning, filled with noise and cheers, and it was truly a festive occasion.
When Emperor Ruijing appeared at Duke Xue's mansion, everyone in the mansion was extremely surprised.
Qing Ning was in her dream, dressed up like a puppet and meeting the legendary emperor.
The little girl was brought in drowsily. Before she could completely wake up from her sleepiness, she heard a voice beside her ear.
"Chen Qingning, why don't you pay your respects to the current emperor?"
This was Qing Ning's first time meeting the emperor. She had only heard about him before, and in her previous life she had only seen him in history books or film and television dramas. This time, seeing the real person, she was not only surprised, but her mind was also confused.
Gao Fan saw that she was stunned and reminded her again.
Qing Ning didn't even think about paying homage for a moment. Instead, she looked at Emperor Rui Jing in disbelief and said, "Oh my God! I saw the emperor. This is really the emperor! I saw the real person. Is there smoke coming out of my ancestral tomb? No, it must be because the fire is too big and it is about to burn down."
When everyone in the room heard her words, they didn't know how to react.
Emperor Ruijing was delighted to hear this, but he looked at her sternly, "How come you don't know etiquette, little kid? You don't even know how to kneel and bow to me when you see me?"
When the emperor asked questions, everyone suddenly became bolder and wanted to speak up for Qing Ning, but Emperor Ruijing raised his hand to stop them.
Everyone was anxious, looking at Qing Ning and then at the emperor, afraid that this little girl would say something shocking again.
Meng Er kept winking at Qing Ning, but the little girl just didn't look at him.
Qing Ning, however, was not afraid. She stepped forward and saluted as instructed. Although awkward, she made no mistakes. Then she said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is my first time to see your Majesty. I was extremely excited and I may have lost my manners for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Ruijing did not speak, and listened to her continue: "The main reason is that Your Majesty is different from what I imagined."
"What's the difference?"
Qing Ning stared at him for a long time, and everyone held their breath, "He's so powerful, handsome, and still so young."
This is the truth, Qingning is a fangirl, and you can't blame her for being superficial.
But as soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked at each other with silent worry in their eyes.
This was the first time that Emperor Rui Jing had received such straightforward praise. He felt a little shy for a moment, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
"Look, the child is so honest. This really touches his heart. He is a young and capable emperor. Hahahaha."
Everyone was confused about the emperor's thoughts and looked at Gao Fan. Seeing that Gao Fan was smiling, they understood.
Emperor Ruijing did not make things difficult for her. He gave her a seat and everyone discussed the recent events.
Finally, Emperor Ruijing asked, "Qing Ning, do you think the title of Lucky Star is a blessing or a curse?"
Qing Ning was daydreaming, and when he heard the emperor's question, he immediately tensed up.
"Your Majesty, I think the title of Lucky Star can be both a blessing and a curse. Things have two sides, yin and yang. Between family and friends, it means love and protection, but for the other family, it brings disaster rather than blessing."
She didn't dare say that she was a lucky star. At most, she was loved by her relatives and friends.
Everyone became interested and wanted to hear what she had to say next.
"But speaking of disaster, if a lucky star doesn't bring blessings, but only disasters, then it's a star of misfortune. The greater the majesty of a lucky star, the more stigma a star of misfortune will bear, double or even multiple times. The myth of lucky stars is rampant right now. If a catastrophe follows, then the purpose of this lucky star will be put to use."
"The better ones are used for offering sacrifices to the heavens to appease the wrath of the gods. The worse ones say that the lucky star is actually a disaster star and needs to be offered sacrifices to the heavens even more. In the end, the final destination is that this lucky star must die, and this disaster star must die even more. With rumors in the past and accidents as support, how difficult is it for this disaster star to maintain his position?"
Everyone was silent, and then Duke Xue asked, "What disaster do you think will happen?"
"The end of the year is approaching, and the weather is freezing cold. If there's a heavy snowfall, what if the poor people in Beijing die and their houses collapse, and it's worse than in previous years, how will we blame them? Or if there's an epidemic somewhere and this lucky star happens to pass through, how will we blame it? Add to that rumors and stir up public opinion, and the people are easily instigated. How will we clarify the situation and help them?"
A series of questions were thrown at everyone, and everyone frowned and thought deeply about what was said.
"Good boy, go ahead. Don't starve yourself before breakfast."
The old Duke was kind and had Qing Ning taken away.
Qing Ning bowed to everyone and walked out.
After she left, Minister Guo spoke again, "This child looks so young, but he not only sees things clearly, but also thinks things through carefully."
During the few days they came to Beijing, they also went to his house. They only met him briefly and thought he was a good boy, but they never expected him to be so smart.
"How could the person I've chosen be any worse?" Mr. Yu hadn't recovered from his illness, but he still managed to get through it.
Old Duke Xue couldn't stand his arrogance and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, this child is very thoughtful. We must take comprehensive precautions to ensure that nothing goes wrong. If this child makes a mistake, it will be our fault."
Qing Ning knew they were praising her so much, and she couldn't help but laugh a few times. After all, history wasn't learned in vain, and novels and TV weren't watched in vain, hahaha~
Emperor Ruijing came quietly and left quietly. In a blink of an eye, he was urged to dress up and go to the palace to attend the banquet.
Not everyone can attend the palace banquet. Commoners like the Chen family have to obtain special permission from the emperor. Entering the palace suddenly becomes a rare sight.
The people of Daxia are open-minded and all banquets are held in one place. The queen was thoughtful and arranged the Chen family between the Xue family and the Yu family so that they could be taken care of at any time.
The daytime ceremony was over, and at night it was just the emperor and his ministers having fun together, which was quite relaxing.
After the emperor and empress paid tribute to heaven and earth, the banquet officially began.
The Chen family was reserved and cautious. They didn't dare eat or drink too much for fear of causing trouble, even Qing Ning was the same.
Having seen too many dark palace fights, she dared not act recklessly.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Chen Qingning, the daughter of the Chen family, is the reincarnation of the lucky star, able to bless the common people and save them from all disasters. I wonder if I could ask the lucky star to bless my son?"
Suddenly, a minister came forward in the hall and asked the emperor to bless Qing Ning.
The emperor looked at him, his eyes devoid of warmth.
The Chen family members were startled and felt uneasy.
Qing Ning rolled her eyes secretly. Couldn't she just finish it?
"Where did Li Qing hear this?"
There was no emotion in the emperor's voice, but the pressure from the superior was not abated at all.
The man said, "Your Majesty, the news has spread throughout the capital recently, and I am at my wit's end. My son is seriously ill and has sought medical help from countless doctors, but to no avail. I am at my wit's end and am thinking of trying this. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on my son."
After saying this, he knelt on the ground with a sad voice.
