Chapter 768: Birthday Celebration
After the two made up their minds, the third princess had a smile on her face again, but when she thought of Su Yiyi's current situation, she couldn't smile anymore.
"Yiyi, you have offended Concubine Shu now, you went to ask for peace just now, and she didn't embarrass you?"
"No, she's busy today, how can she have time to take care of me, Yunying, don't be too nervous." Su Yiyi smiled helplessly.
"Not necessarily, you don't know this woman." The third princess said, "Concubine Shu is the most moody, you think she won't do anything to you, maybe she just anticipates your mentality, and she will trouble you even more." ”
After all, the third princess has been here for a long time, and she also understands the temper of the concubine, hearing her say this, Su Yiyi's face is a little worried, but it can't help but make the third princess the same as herself, she still comforted, "Today is her first year to manage His Majesty's birthday banquet, and it is the time to show her ability, so she shouldn't think about smashing her own field, right?" ”
Her analysis was also reasonable, and the third princess thought about it, but there was also such a possibility, and she didn't speak again for a while.
"Okay Yunying, don't worry so much, anyway, I'll be careful for a while." Su Yiyi couldn't see her like this, so she comforted again.
"No, you still try to be with me for a while, no matter who comes to invite you, you have to leave my sight alone, so are the two girls Qiushuang and Caiyue, you must let them follow you every step of the way, you know?"
The third princess was still not at ease, and hurriedly explained.
"I know Yunying, you relax, don't be too nervous." Seeing her like this, as if Concubine Shu was going to send someone to take her life in the next moment, Su Yiyi couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing her like this, the third princess knew that she didn't listen to her words, and she didn't say anything more, she only planned to guard Su Yiyi well for a while, and she wouldn't go there.
In this way, after that, the three princesses have been accompanying Su Yiyi every step of the way, even if a good lady came to say hello and asked the three princesses to go over to talk together, she did not agree.
Su Yiyi was a little embarrassed, and said a few times that she was fine, and asked her to go over by herself if she had a social, but the third princess insisted on accompanying her.
There was no way, Su Yiyi had to accept her kindness, but the guilt for the third princess deepened in her heart.
After that, knowing that the emperor's birthday banquet was open, the third princess had to return to her seat, she didn't want to be separated from Su Yiyi, but the rules were like this, she also had to tell Su Yiyi again, and then sat next to the third prince.
But fortunately, most of the seats in this banquet are next to each other, and the three princesses can see the situation on Su Yiyi's side at all times, and they are also a lot more relieved.
Today is the emperor's birthday, if it is in previous years, it must be singing and dancing, silk and bamboo are endless, but this year it does seem a little lonely, although there are songs and dances during the banquet, but they are all some clichés, there is not much new.
This is not that Concubine Shu deliberately neglected the emperor, but the emperor's own request.
At that time, because it was the first time for Concubine Shu to organize the emperor's birthday banquet, she was afraid that she would not do well and make the emperor unhappy, so she once deliberately took the list she had prepared and asked the emperor to look at it.
The emperor didn't have much thought about these things, and only said that except for the singing and dancing that was used last year, she would let her watch the rest by herself.
But this sentence made Concubine Shu very uncomfortable.
Because last year's song and dance was specially choreographed by the queen herself in order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and now the emperor lets herself continue to use last year's, isn't it clear that he is suspicious of that slut?
In this way, how can Concubine Shu's mood be good?
So when the dancing girl came up on the spot, her expression sank a little bit.
Fortunately, she is not the protagonist today, so few people look at her face, only Concubine De on the side found out, and secretly fell into the well in her heart.
Although she is also nominally the same as Concubine Shu, she is the assistant of the Sixth Palace.
But Concubine Shu, a slut, was afraid that she would rob her of her rights, so she deliberately handed over all the thankless drudgeries to herself, and these errands that had oil and water to make money and could please the emperor were all in her own hands.
In this way, how can Concubine De not hate Concubine Shu?
Now seeing her deflated, Concubine De is a burst of pride, and said in her heart, don't think that the queen is dead, you can ascend to the sky in one step!
"Your Majesty, the concubine respects you with a cup, and I wish you good fortune and longevity."
"Okay, then I'll thank Concubine Ai Jiyan." Hearing this, the emperor laughed heartily, raised his glass from afar, and then drank the wine in the cup with Concubine De.
Seeing this, the people next to them were naturally not far behind, and for a while, there was a toast and a birthday celebration.
In the bustle, only the seats of the eldest prince's family were a little calm.
Neither the prince nor the princess has ever joined in this excitement, Su Yiyi needless to say, the emperor hates her, and she doesn't need to go to the emperor to join in the fun.
Yin Jinghan looked at this scene, and suddenly stood up, looking at Yin Jingrui with a bit of conspiracy in his eyes.
"Today is my father's birthday, why does my eldest brother seem to be unhappy?"
He seemed to sigh inadvertently, but in fact, he was just deliberately giving Yin Jingrui eye medicine.
After all, today is the emperor's birthday, but Yin Jingrui is not happy, and when he says this, everyone will think that Yin Jingrui has any opinion on the emperor.
Hearing this, everyone's inquiring eyes really fell on Yin Jingrui's face.
The emperor's expression couldn't help but sink because of these words, and he didn't know who he was angry with.
In a strange silence, Yin Jingrui stood up lightly and said, "Fifth brother misunderstood, I was just worrying about my father's affairs in Suizhou, and I had no other intentions. ”
Suizhou is the border defense of Chen Kingdom, because Helian Feng's matter is ironclad, even if these people in the army want to stand up for him, they can't find a reason, so it is calm for the time being.
After Helian Feng was ambushed, the emperor was worried that his subordinates would commit rebellion, so he accepted the courtiers' proposal, intending to find some reason to replace those who finally Helian Feng and empty the rights in the hands of these people.
Although most of this matter is smooth, there are also one or two restless, this Suizhou is one, and Xu Qing, the guard general of Suizhou, was also a confidant of Helianfeng at the beginning, so he was very repulsive to the emperor's practice of breaking them one by one.
At the beginning, the emperor sent the general to take over his position, but he refused to hand over the military seal on the grounds that he did not understand the military affairs of Suizhou, and drove people out.
Because he was afraid that forced persecution would backfire, the emperor didn't dare to force it too hard, so he had to let people think of a way, who knew that this solution had not yet come up with, but he received a secret report that Xu Qing had secretly contacted the generals in several other places, and there was a faint tendency to rebel.
