While the two of them were talking sweetly. A sharp voice from the emperor's arrival came. The two of them immediately greeted each other as everyone else. After the emperor takes his seat. That's when he returned to his place.

The emperor's birthday pomp and circumstance can't be small. After three rounds of drinking, one by one the princes stood up and presented their birthday gifts to the emperor.

Now it looks like the emperor is still in the prime of life. But age doesn't forgive. Just look at the body now. No one knows how long he will last. So the princes are not trying to express themselves in the open. Secretly to intrigues. Just for those chairs.

It's just that now the emperor is still quite strong. Let them not dare to go too far. Therefore, it is more favored to win the favor of the emperor. And this birthday. I can't let it go. Everyone's birthday gift is carefully prepared.

Su Yirong watched them offer special or expensive gifts one by one. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Leng Yanxi. The other party understood what she meant. Just nodded and smiled at her. Signal that you are ready.

I've just laughed here. It was already their turn. The two of them stepped forward with a smile and said a congratulatory message for their birthday. Immediately after that, the congratulatory gift was presented. Su Yirong hadn't seen what he was preparing before.

But wait until the box is opened. Su Yirong's eyes couldn't help but light up. Somewhat surprised, he turned his head to look at Leng Yanxi. Immediately calm returned. Bow your head but smile silently.

The emperor took the contents of the bag. I took a closer look. But he still looked at Leng Yanxi with some doubts. Xi'er. You look like you're wearing a head. This gem looks very valuable. But I don't know what it is. And what's the use of this thing?"

"Father. In addition to being precious, this birthday gift actually has some special significance." Leng Yanxi heard his question. Explained with a smile.

"Oh. Tell me about it." When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Back to my father. This was the most valuable commodity that Erchen's trading fleet had brought back from its first trip. It's called the crown to them. The gemstone on it is called Diamond and is the most valuable gemstone they have there. And this crown was worn by one of the longest-reigning emperors of that country. He is said to have reigned for seventy years.

The retainer now dedicates it to his father. In addition to being used as a birthday gift. There is another layer of meaning. I wish my emperor to reign longer than this emperor." Leng Yanxi said and kowtowed with Su Yirong again.

He said it too falsely. Even Su Yirong could hear it, and he definitely didn't want the emperor to reign for too long. Otherwise, the competition for the throne will be even more chaotic. Even if it's a win. I don't know when. That would be too variable.

But his words made the emperor happy to hear it. laughed out loud and stood up." Good. All right. Lian is really not expected. The sea ban has just been lifted. You have organized merchant ships to go to other countries. Brought back such a meaningful birthday gift for the union. That means you're not doing anything wrong."

"It's still a wise decision from my father. That's why we have a great situation today. I believe that our navy will become stronger and stronger in the future. Our caravans will go farther and farther to bring back more birthday gifts for our father." Leng Yanxi listened to it, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. The appearance of honor and disgrace.

"Good. The birthday of the six princes is very fond of it." Although the emperor did not say a big prize. But that's just the sentence. It is enough to make everyone's hearts change.

Although the cold and hot tide did not get carried away. But the eyes of others looking at him were already different. Especially a few princes. Quite a few people opposed the opening of the sea ban. When Leng Yanxi made a military order. Still snickering in my heart. Wait to see his jokes. What he didn't expect was that not only did he not make jokes. Instead, everything is done so well. even won the emperor's favor.

At this time, even if he looked down on him before. People who think that Leng Yanxi must be finished this time. Now we have to re-emphasize it. You must know that they didn't put any obstacles in the way of what Leng Yanxi wanted to do before, because they didn't believe that Leng Yanxi could do this without the court's money. in their hearts. This building navy can be a bottomless pit. How is it possible to still make money.

But at this time, Leng Yanxi's actions made their thoughts slowly change. All kinds of thoughts are slowly popping up.

Although Leng Yanxi's birthday gift won the emperor's heart. It's also impossible to stay there on your knees all the time. The two took up the most of everyone's time. Then he retreated.

"Lord Wang. How did your caravan buy this crown? Since it is such a precious thing. How will they sell." Su Yirong is a person who knows goods. Although it can be seen that it is a real crown style. But for what Leng Yanxi said. but expressed doubts.

Leng Yanxi made a silent move. whispered in her ear. This crown is a fake."

"Ahh How is that possible." Su Yirong asked in some surprise. But I also know the severity. It's not too loud." The diamond is real."

"Diamonds are real. Gold is also real." Leng Yanxi explained quietly. Believe so. Su Yirong should understand.

Sure enough, Su Yirong listened to it suddenly. It turned out to be a knockoff."

"What." Leng Yanxi didn't understand.

"It's an imitation. But what you're doing is pretty similar. It's going to be old." Su Yirong had just taken a closer look. It's really the same one she's seen in the museum of her past life. I really don't see any difference other than the different styles.

"Our caravan exchanged their goods for a lot of gold and silver and their diamonds. The captain of the caravan described to me what he had seen and heard there. I heard that there was such a crown. At this time, it is just in time for my father's birthday. So I thought of making such a gift. I have a master of imitation under my men. There are gold and diamonds. Soon to make this crown come. It was the captain of the caravan who saw it. I can't tell if it's true or not." Leng Yanxi explained with a little smile.

Su Yirong really felt a little emotion in her heart. It seems that this cottage was not only in her time. It's to come to this dynasty that has never passed. But it's still so strong. Let's make it from this point. It made her find a sense of familiarity.

But then he asked with some concern. You won't be afraid that the emperor will find out."

"Afraid of what. This is of all those present. Has anyone ever seen this crown and this diamond. Whatever I say, they will believe it. Even if the shipping with other countries is slowly opened up in the future. Some of their men went to that country. But I can say that theirs is a fake. Because none of their crowns have any of our looks." Leng Yanxi showed a hint of a smile.

Su Yirong thought about it too. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. It's so easy to cheat the past. Besides, these princes claim to be great powers. Disdain to look at anything at sea trade. Even if there is a chance to send someone out. Nor will I go to those small countries.

But at this time, I listened to Leng Yanxi's words. Look at the crown again. I felt a little emotional. Where has she ever seen a knock-off that is more gorgeous than the original?

The two of them talked. The birthday gift has been given over there. The emperor saw that the princes with the princesses and princesses. Naturally, it is a dragon's face and a great joy. The atmosphere was much better.

Look at such a scene. Su Yirong was a little annoyed in his heart. But at this time, you can't quit first. The rest of the royal palaces were all in a group of people. Even if you walk one, you can't see anything. Originally, there were only two of them in the palace. If she leaves. The cold and hot tide will be ugly on the face.

So I could only sit there quietly. In addition to saluting the emperor with tea and wine with Leng Yanxi. Or occasionally chat with the princesses on both sides. There's really nothing to do.

But she's got a bit of a break. It's easy to think about it. At least you don't have to worry about them at any time. The reason why she is happy to come here is because of the existence of Leng Yanxi. At this time, I sat here quietly watching Leng Yanxi and talking to people. I was also relieved.

But she wanted to be quiet. But some people disagree. Concubine Liu, who was sitting next to the emperor, didn't say anything all night. But his eyes never left Su Yirong. Although she disguised it well. But anyone can see it. There was a glint of jealousy in it. It makes people shudder when they see it.

Su Yirong was already accustomed to such a gaze. Since the first meeting. And she had bad intentions towards herself. More in the future. The two have torn their faces. I know why she is hostile to herself. So not only is not afraid at this time. but the heart rises up.

Because she can show such jealous eyes. It means that Leng Yanxi is getting farther and farther away from her. But I'm getting closer and closer to myself. It's a really good feeling. So the more jealous she became. The happier my heart is.

After feeling her gaze that wanted to tear herself apart. But he turned his head to look at her and smiled brightly. Immediately I saw her face turned blue.

Liu Guifei would not admit defeat so lightly. After the gas. Immediately change to a smiley face. Turn your head to look at the emperor." Emperor. You just said that the most satisfying birthday gift today is the Six Princes. In that case, shouldn't you let the sixth prince and the princess toast you with another glass of wine alone?"

"What Concubine Ai said is very true. Xi'er's birthday gift today won my heart. Give me a glass of wine." The emperor listened and nodded repeatedly.

Leng Yanxi listened and stood up. After thanking, he took the imperial wine from the eunuch and drank it all. Then he took Su Yirong's wine and drank it for her.

But at this moment, Liu Chuxia suddenly spoke. Slowly. This is the wine given by the emperor. How can you not drink it. I know that Princess Rui is not in good health. The wine before was not persuaded. But the meaning of this cup is different. If you don't even drink this wine. That's not a rebellion."

Everyone below was stunned. I just heard Concubine Liu speak for the six princes. And secretly hate. But at this time, it was difficult to see her for Su Yirong. I couldn't even figure out what she meant.

Others don't understand. But Su Yirong understood what Liu Chuxia meant. She spoke for the two of them first. That's for the cold and hot tide. At this time, it is difficult to do it. Liu Chuxia is to let herself know. She can help Leng Yanxi. And he can only drag him back.

But this is not the time for a battle of righteousness. looked at Liu Chuxia with a smile on his face. The mother is serious. Rong'er is not disrespectful to her father and you. It's really not allowed by the body. This drinking is nothing more than a formality. Father will definitely know that Rong'er respects his father in his heart. I believe that with the generosity of my father, I will definitely not have anything to do with Rong'er."

"That's it. After all, this is the concubine of the Rui Palace. Or be careful. If you don't drink this time, you can make up for it next year." The emperor listened to it, but he didn't embarrass her. Smiled and waved his hand.

Su Yirong immediately smiled and handed the wine to Leng Yanxi's hand. Let him drink it. Bian also looked at Liu Chuxia with a provocative smile. She was so angry that her face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

Among the people present. Only Leng Yanxi saw the intersection between the two. Suddenly his face was a little ugly. After drinking, he sat back with Su Yirong.

Su Yirong felt the change in him. The body couldn't help but stiffen. On the surface there is nothing. But my heart slowly cooled down.

I tried to think about what the two of them looked like when they were sweet. But all eyes are full of scenes when Liu Chuxia hugged him. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart. After that, there is uncontrollable sadness.

Leng Yanxi may have also been affected. Didn't notice the change in Su Yirong. It's still just socializing with the people around me from time to time. but there was much silence. But at this time, it is very different from Su Yirong's speech. In Su Yirong's eyes, it was no longer sweet.

The dinner party for the emperor's birthday is different from the time of the New Year. Even if it's for the sake of the emperor's body, it won't be so late. So after three rounds of drinking. It's almost over.

Su Yirong only came back to his senses when he was touched by Leng Yanxi." I'm going back."

"yes. The emperor has gone back, and you don't react. What do you think. Why are you still stunned? Not feeling well." Leng Yanxi frowned when he saw her appearance.

Su Yirong smiled reluctantly and stood up. Bian shook his head. But I just wanted to say that I was fine. I just felt dizzy. A painful sensation in the stomach.

"Rong'er..." Leng Yanxi's face suddenly changed when he saw her appearance. Hold her up.

Hear his voice. Su Yirong wanted to say something. But my stomach hurt even more violently. I opened my mouth but couldn't say anything. Instead, the eyes are blurred. And he was no longer conscious.

"The Imperial Doctor... Taiyi. Quickly pass on to the Imperial Doctor." Leng Yanxi saw Su Yirong fainting. Finally lost the square inch. Where is the usual calm appearance.

The crowd that was yet to go out heard his voice. It's also not good to say secretly. They all walked around. And the sharp-eyed eunuch had already run to recruit the imperial doctor. You must know that Su Yirong is a treasure in the eyes of the Queen Mother. Leng Yanxi is a celebrity in front of the emperor recently. It's not a small matter if they have something.

So not only did someone go and inform the doctor. There are also people who immediately report to the emperor who has just left and the queen mother who has already rested in the harem. Su Yirong's dizziness turned the palace upside down.

These can happen. Su Yirong didn't know it anymore. Even if she fainted. The last thought was just how could my stomach hurt. How is the child.

When she wakes up again. It's not that hall anymore. but in the queen mother's bedroom. Laboriously turned his head to look. But I saw that both the Queen Mother and Leng Yanxi were there.

But before she could say anything. Others have found her awake. Immediately they all gathered around. Leng Yanxi is the fastest. Hold her hand." Rong'er. You're awake. How does it feel. Where is it uncomfortable."

Su Yirong shook his head lightly. Water..."

"Quick. Bring water." Don't wait for the cold and hot tide to open. The Queen Mother said anxiously.

The water was brought immediately. Leng Yanxi took the cup and helped her sit up. Personally fed to her mouth.

Took a few sips. Su Yirong was about to raise his hand and push it away. But then I realized that I didn't even have the strength to raise my hand. I can only shake my head gently.

"Don't drink any more?" Leng Yanxi understood what she meant. But he still asked.
