The sky was bright, and the palace was already busy.

Countless palace people came and went in and out in the morning.

Some of them were arranging the birthday palace where the banquet was held, and some were walking through the palace, holding plates of things for the family banquet in their hands.

The family banquet, as the name suggests, is a day when the Cheng family gets together.

However, the Cheng family's originally prosperous big family has become thinner and thinner over the years.

One by one, the princes were beheaded and exiled.

The three princesses either married far away or disappeared.

Cheng Lu, the happiest second princess, has no news now.

In such a family banquet, only King Rui is left with a descendant.

The rest are all from the Cheng family's side lines to make up the number.

Because of the scarcity of people, the ministers and their families always attend family banquets.

In previous years, the family banquets were decided and managed by Cheng Qing alone.

This time, he handed over everything for the family banquet to Concubine De.

This approach also made the ministers of the court talk a lot.

Cheng Qing has never been the queen, and this time his actions show that he is very satisfied with Concubine De.

Does that also mean that he intends to make Concubine De the queen?

But what they couldn't figure out was that Concubine De, whom he valued so much, had been drinking shunzi soup, and Concubine Li, who he didn't like very much, was pregnant with a dragon fetus after being favored in one fell swoop.

Although they really can't understand Cheng Qing, this approach is really a bit strange.

Among the ministers, in fact, there are two factions.

One faction is dominated by prime ministers, and the other faction is dominated by Taifu.

The two factions have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and every time it is until Cheng Qing makes a move, although this is the case, but like this kind of thing, the ministers are very sleek.

Although it was not yet light, many guests had already arrived.

The most of them are the ministers of the two factions.

The prime minister has always been on Concubine De's side.

Many times Concubine De had an accident, it was the prime minister who secretly helped to save the day.

This time, the emperor personally handed over everything to her to deal with, which reflected the importance he attached to her.

Therefore, the ministers sent by the prime minister are naturally full of spring breeze today.

The Taifu faction is naturally Concubine Li's right-hand man.

Although Concubine Li has been quiet and quiet over the years, she has not made any major movements, but this time she was pregnant with the dragon seed at one time, which is also her ability.

The offspring are no more than the other.

In this harem, once you have an heir, even your waist can be straightened.

What's more, this is the emperor's first child, so it is even more important.

Therefore, the ministers of the Taifu faction are also full of spring breeze and indescribably proud.

In this way, the two factions who are already looking at each other unpleasantly will naturally look at each other even more unpleasantly.

"I'm still wondering what a hen that can't lay eggs can do. ”

"Yes, my family raised a few of them, and because they didn't lay eggs, they would have been eaten by me a long time ago. ”

"What can you do with it? as a vase?"

The ministers of the Taifu faction seemed to be saying something inadvertently, but in fact, those eyes kept looking at the prime minister's faction.

The prime minister's faction is naturally not a vegetarian, and when they saw that they had said it to this point, they became angry.

"I thought it was. It turned out that she was pregnant with a seed, and she thought she was bigger than the sky. ”

"Who knows if the kind of ........ that is born with a handle"

"Hey, isn't it true that if you are pregnant, you will definitely be able to give birth, whether you can give birth or not, doesn't this depend on your ability. ”

The language is sharp, and every sentence is poked into the heart.

In the resting palace, there is a tense atmosphere.

It can explode at any moment.

Everyone in the Taifu faction frowned, and opened their mouths to reply.

"Hello adults, are you all so early?"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded at the door.

"Hello Master Taifu. ”

One by one, the adults who were sitting in the palace got up and saluted.

When I looked up, I saw that there was another person beside Taifu.

"Hello Prime Minister. ”

The prime minister tilted his head and stood beside Taifu.

A small palace man walked by with a tray on which were placed a few white buns.

"Come, get me one. ”

As if he had seen something good, he hurriedly called the palace people.

As soon as the palace people saw that it was the prime minister, they didn't say much, made a salute, and immediately handed over all the buns on the tray to the prime minister.

The adults in the palace all bent down and saluted, but none of the two adults were willing to say a word of disobedience.

They winked at each other, thinking of a way to get the two adults to notice them who had been there motionless.

Just when an adult was about to come and pretend to fall to attract attention, the prime minister spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't stay there, I don't feel comfortable looking at it. ”

The adults who were saluting there were relieved as soon as they heard this.

Finally let go.

Several chubby adults, wearing official hats, had fine sweat on their heads.

"Your Excellency, it's also very early today. ”

Taifu said to the prime minister with his hands behind his back.

Taifu looks very heroic, with two thick eyebrows long and black, and a pair of sword eyes shining.

He always speaks with a smile, and his short beard shakes and shakes.

Compared with Taifu, the prime minister looks more civil.

He has a unique temperament of a man in the water town of Jiangnan.

Gentle.

There is a pair of delicate phoenix eyes on the white skin.

But this phoenix eye is already a little sophisticated, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are getting deeper and deeper day by day.

The eyes are elegant, the eyebrows are slender, and there are some feminine appearances.

He was a little serious and unsmiling.

The combination of facial features on his face makes people feel very comfortable.

It's just that this prime minister can be regarded as a person who has assisted two generations of emperors.

They are all people who have been in this court for most of their lives.

They have the most say in this windy country.

"It was an invitation from the emperor himself. I wasn't happy with this body, but since it was such a family banquet, how could I be missing. ”

"It seems that this is the Prime Minister's son to our emperor. ”

You can understand that too. ”

The prime minister's serious face had a slight expression, but this expression was more of a mockery.

He was holding a bun in his hand, which was somewhat inconsistent with his image.

The two adults stood at the door and chatted with each other, and the other adults naturally didn't dare to say anything and didn't dare to move.

The prime minister and the prince both stood at the door and didn't sit down, they sat down inside, wouldn't that be looking for death?

"Today's banquet was arranged by Concubine De, and I have always thought that this girl is very powerful. Now it seems to be really powerful. ”

"Master Taifu, don't say that. Isn't your girl also very powerful? Aren't they all pregnant with a dragon fetus? You, the old man, are about to become grandfathers. ”

"This is still the prime minister......... you will say"

"Let's go in, what do you look like standing here, you see the other adults are waiting for us. ”

The prime minister took a bite of the bun in his hand, and a rich aroma of steamed bun meat instantly spread around.

"Gollum ......."

There was a lot of swallowing sound around.

In order to come to the banquet, these adults came on empty stomachs.

"Are you all hungry?"

The prime minister just swallowed a mouthful of buns.

"No, no, no.... Something ....... not."

Several adults waved their hands one after another.

"Hey, it's out of the way. Come on, that's, that's right, it's you, I've got this bun in my hand, let's give us more here, we didn't have breakfast........"

A passing palace man was stopped by the prime minister.

The palace man was obviously surprised by the Prime Minister's orders, and he nodded at the Prime Minister with a stupid expression.

"Okay, there you go. ”

The prime minister waved his hand, and the palace people left.

"Shall we go in?"
