Although Rui Shen did not attend the palace annual banquet this year as in previous years, his seat position was not much better, and he was already at the end of the princes' table.

Even if his prudent eyes are clear and his eyesight is good, he can't see the emperor's face clearly from a distance, let alone whether the emperor can notice him in the room.

The emperor and the empress sat side by side, and the banquet was opened only when the emperor spoke.

The singing and dancing during the banquet leveled down, leaving aside the competition between you and me on weekdays, but it also showed a bit of joy.

The princes beside Rui Shen exchanged words from time to time, but no one thought to turn around and ignore him. In this regard, he was so cautious that he didn't care. But the magpie watched from behind, and his heart was sad again. I also agree more that it is time to fight for prudence.

After the banquet is halfway through, all the princes will pay New Year's greetings to the emperor in turn, and offer a few words of plattery, at this time, the emperor will also give different rewards to the princes according to the good words they say and his personal mood.

The princes and concubines will also use the size of this reward to say goodbye to each other, to see who is more favored by the emperor. Everyone was full of energy, and they thought about how to say wonderful things to make the emperor happy.

It's just that this link is there every year, let you talk in a trick, just a few words that come and go, this year it's not you who say it, or he says it, and there is nothing new at all when it sounds around. In addition, there are many princes in the palace, so the emperor is actually tired of hearing crookedly, but he can't stand this convention, he can only smile and wait for his sons to coax him.

The order of this New Year's greeting comes according to the order of the seats, and those who are favored are naturally ranked first, so that they don't worry that what they say is the same as others, and later people say it is the same as him. The emperor listened to the good words offered by a few princes who were favored on weekdays, and said happily and signaled to the great eunuchs around him to reward.

Since it is pampered, of course, this reward is not small.

A few words per person, and the emperor rewarded him according to it, which was not slow, and soon it was the turn of prudence.

When Rui Shen came out, the emperor looked at it twice in wonder, he had hardly seen Rui Shen in his usual life, if it weren't for the other party being his son, he probably wouldn't have recognized it. However, it wasn't until the big eunuch beside him reminded the emperor that this was the eleventh prince's prudence, that the emperor remembered the concubine in a trance.

The beautiful woman has been gone for many years, and the emperor can't remember the appearance of the beautiful woman now, only the shaking temper of the beautiful woman, and the last unpleasant past.

"The son of the emperor to pay New Year's greetings to his father." Rui Shen knelt down and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor tilted his head and looked at the little figure, which was so small that he really couldn't see anything, so he said aloud, "Well, get up." When he was about to order the big eunuch next to him to give a reward, Rui Shen did not get up on his knees, but bowed to the emperor again, and the emperor's face pale, "What?" A little unpleasantness could be clearly heard in his tone, and the others couldn't help but look different.

But most of them look like they are gloating, waiting to see what happens to Ruishen.

Prudence but not in a hurry, he was not frightened by the anger of the Son of Heaven at all, after this bow, he straightened up, and then replied to the emperor and said, "The son is not filial, and he has never attended the banquet in the palace since he was sensible, nor has he ever bowed to his father for the New Year." This time, I watched all the royal brothers bless their fathers, and then thought that all the royal brothers blessed their fathers like this every year, and the sons and daughters felt deeply guilty. Erchen is really unfilial! ”

After some earnest words, the emperor's complexion immediately improved a lot, but the empress beside the emperor had a somewhat heavy complexion.

The emperor was about to follow Ruishen's words, but Ruishen didn't give him a chance, and bowed again, "Please forgive your son for being ignorant over the years, and ask my father to give his son a chance to turn his merits." ”

"Oh? Do you want to compromise the chances? The emperor raised his eyebrows, so much so that he thought it was interesting, and he didn't know how he was going to fold the work, so he couldn't help but follow his meaning, "Then what do you want?" ”

Rui Shen saw that the emperor was really following him, his little face was red with joy, and his eyes glanced at the emperor secretly, and he seemed to be ashamed. This posture is very similar to his mother Concubine Li, the emperor just looked at it and remembered that he liked Concubine Li very much at the beginning.

Now that this appearance is reflected in his son, the emperor doesn't know whether to be angry or nostalgic for a while.

"Erchen will not do anything else, so I have to congratulate my father and emperor today with all the blessings that have fallen every year since Erchen was born."

That's ......? Many people couldn't help but laugh.

Even the emperor was no exception.

Wise and prudent don't care so much about them, and after each big prostration, he will add a little poem of praise. The artistic conception of the poem is also plain, and a discerning person will know that he is patting the emperor's sycophants as soon as he hears it.

As the emperor listened, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes. After Rui Shen had recited all seven poems, the emperor slapped his knee with one hand and praised him loudly, "Good! ”

When I look at Rui Shen now, my heart gradually erases some of my disgust with Concubine Li. On the contrary, I feel that this son is quite like Concubine Li, and Concubine Li is a wonderful person with witty words.

Moreover, today's prudent poems are too much to the emperor's liking. The emperor has always liked Fengyue, and poetry and painting are his favorites. Rui Shen's move completely hit him in the heart.

When the emperor looked at the big eunuch beside him again, he started teasing with a smile, "Hu Dehai, you look at this son, I have to make up for all the shares of the past few years in one day today, so don't I have to make up for all the rewards that I didn't do in the past?" ”

Hu Dehai is an old man next to the emperor, so he can naturally see that the emperor is really shunned and happy. He hurriedly followed the emperor's words very colorfully, "The emperor looked at what you said, these eleven princes are also filial, thinking about what you just said, listen to the poem just now, every sentence is to praise the emperor for being good." In this way, can it still covet your little reward? ”

The emperor pointed at him with one hand and nodded with a smile, "You old fellow, I haven't been rewarded yet, so you know that I can't get anything good?" Today, I'm just going to let you see if I can send something good. As he spoke, he began to wonder what else he could do in his private vault.

The queen was anxious in the eyes of the sidelines, and was about to speak with a smile, but was preempted by Rui Shen, "The sons have thanked their fathers, but the sons can't be rewarded by their fathers." ”

Hearing this, the emperor paused and looked at Rui Shen in puzzlement, "Oh? Are you like Hu Dehai, who looks down on what I sent? ”

"Father's reward, even a gadget, is a good thing that can't be compared to the outside. How dare the retainers look down on it. It's just ......" Rui Shen changed his breath, "than what rare treasures his father gave his son, the son wants to ask his father for a favor." ”

The Emperor raised his eyebrows, and his tone lightened slightly, "What grace do you want?" ”

"Please ask my father to allow his sons to worship Song Taifu as a teacher, and follow Song Taifu to learn knowledge."

As soon as the prudent request was spoken, the emperor was dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
