Chapter 415: Surprise at the Banquet

However, Wei Chi Jin didn't seem to care about her attitude at all, and when the hundred officials got up and quietly looked over there, they saw that His Majesty, who had never been a lover of people, actually stood up in person and helped the queen into the seat next to him.

This move can be said to have blinded the eyes of hundreds of officials. However, this is not over, and then Wei Chi Jin directly refuted Zhuo Yu's sentence of "self-punishment for three cups", and said with great concern: "You are not in good health, don't drink the wine, I will have someone send some fruit sherbet over in a while." ”

As he spoke, he really asked the person waiting next to him to fetch the fruit juice, and poured it for Zhuo Yu with his own hands, and his movements looked really skillful. Such a kind of affection as if no one else was around, which really made the officials who went to the banquet below messy, but they really didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, it is a good thing that the emperor loves Qin Se and Ming, and they can't be allowed to interject too much.

After the banquet began, Zhuo Yu didn't pay much attention to the movement below, and only focused on teasing the child in his arms. However, this was the full moon banquet that Wei Chi listened to, even if she didn't want to deal with the ministers below, but the latter would not let her get her wish no matter what.

Soon a minister came over in the name of a toast, although there were Wei Chi Jin's words in front, but they didn't seem to mind Zhuo Yu replacing it with fruit juice, and they had to have a drink with her. Of course, the more reason is that they want to test the attitude of the queen, and they also want to get a glimpse of what the prince looks like.

Wei Chi Jin didn't stop them, he wasn't worried that Zhuo Yu would really choose someone to stand in the ranks. Anyway, it's not her Yu'er who drinks, as long as she is well, as for those who are cautiously tempting, he will pay more attention to it in the future.

It's just that there are too many people who come forward to toast. The first person started, and the rest of the people, whether they had a tentative mind or not, didn't toast and seemed a little unreasonable, and it was completely a posture that everyone had to take turns to go through.

Yu Chi Jin couldn't stand it anymore, and it just so happened that he had other ideas, so he coughed lightly twice, and blocked all the people who wanted to come forward in one sentence: "It just so happens that all of you Aiqing are here today, and I have something to announce." ”

His voice was not very loud, but as soon as these words came out, the still noisy banquet immediately became a lot quieter, and almost everyone turned their eyes to this side. Even Zhuo Yu turned her head to look at him with some curiosity, as if she didn't know what else he needed to announce at such a timeβ€”but soon she knew.

"The queen is dignified and virtuous, and she gave birth to a prince for me. Now the eldest son of the emperor, Wei Chi Ting, is the crown prince, and he will live in the East Palace when he becomes an adult! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was simply a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Not to mention how the people below were boiling, even Zhuo Yu's eyes widened, and it wasn't until Yu Chi Jin pinched her hand under the table that he finally came back to his senses and hurriedly hugged the child in his arms to thank him.

The queen's thanks, many ministers who were stunned because of this sentence finally reacted, and they didn't care that Captain Chi Jin was still on top, and hurriedly looked left and right to look at the looks of their colleagues who were more familiar with them. The already lively scene became more and more boiling for a while.

Not to mention the state of Wu, even the neighboring countries have never heard of a monarch canonized as a prince from the birth of a child. What's more, until he can't stand it anymore, he will reluctantly pick and choose a suitable candidate from among the many princes to replace him. But no matter which one it is, it is to prevent the ministers from standing in line too early, to prevent the balance between the court and the central government, and to stabilize their own throne.

In addition, there is a more noteworthy point, which is the sentence that Yu Chijin said at the end, "Staying in the East Palace as an adult". In fact, the East Palace is also in the palace, if the prince is young, he should have moved in by himself after he was ten years old. But according to the meaning of Wei Chi Jin Fangcai, it is clear that he wants to take the prince with him and teach him by himself, and let him live in another place until he is about to start a family. What a privilege!

At this time, Zhuo Yu also reacted, how exquisite she was, and naturally understood this meaning. It's just that she had doubts in her heart, and was about to ask, but Yu Chijin took her hand and patted it gently, as if to appease.

She glanced at him with disgust, but she still didn't really say it. Well, I'll have time to interrogate after I get back in a while.

Some of the pedantic ministers at the bottom usually wanted to open their mouths to stop them, but no matter what fell into their mouths, they could always come up with a hundred unfeasible reasons. But this time, their mouths opened and opened, and they really couldn't think of anything to refute.

After all, this is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is the heir, if nothing else, no matter what way you look at it, he can only inherit the throne in the end. At this time, the crown prince is nothing more than announcing his identity as the prince in advance.

A group of old ministers gathered together to stare dryly, and before they could pick out the bones from their eggs, the courtiers who were desperately loyal to Yu Chi Jin and the part that could see it had already knelt down one after another, and shouted in their mouths: "Congratulations to the emperor for winning the prince, and the ministers will meet His Royal Highness the prince!" ”

It's like a toast just now, someone took the lead, and they had to make a statement anyway. Helplessly, these old stubborns could only kneel down with them and congratulate them loudly.

After the banquet, Yu Chi Jin and Zhuo Yu returned to Fengyi Palace together. He knew that Zhuo Yu was only afraid that he was full of questions to ask him at this time, so after entering her dormitory, he withdrew all the palace people who were waiting, even Jing Yan and Xiao Quanzi did not stay.

Zhuo Yu put the sleeping Wei Chiting on the small bed specially made for him, and then turned to look at him: "What, you are considerate and sensible at this time?" ”

Her voice couldn't hear the joy and anger, and she couldn't tell what she was asking, but Wei Chi Jin understood that he was asking about the matter of the prince at the full moon banquet.

He pulled Zhuo Yu to sit down at the table next to him, poured her and himself another cup of tea, and then sat down too, ready to explain to her what he was thinking: "I didn't want to hide it from you, but I just watched the group of ministers come over one after another to test your attitude, and then I decided to settle this matter." ”

Seeing that Zhuo Yu raised his eyebrows and did not interrupt his intentions, Yu Chijin continued: "This world is reasonable, and I will leave it to Ting'er after a hundred years. It's just that the struggle for imperial power has never stopped, we won't have only such a child in the future, and it is impossible for Wu to have only one prince. I'm afraid that those people will think crookedly and put their minds on the position of prince. ”
