Here in the Lotus Garden, the banquet has just begun.

Gong E, who has high temples and high temples, swirls and dances on the field covered with thick carpets with long sleeves, and the sound of silk and bamboo lingers in people's ears.

Beautiful people, beautiful music, warm as spring indoors, snow flying all over the sky. The people in the temple were drunk before they had even drunk themselves.

King Xiu picked up his glass and raised it in a few directions: "Thank you for your donations. Xiao Wang represents his father and the emperor, and he will serve the victims of the disaster in the north, and I would like to give you a cup."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness King Xie Xiu." The crowd replied.

"You don't have to be restrained, just be at home."

King Xiu has a dignified appearance, a quiet temperament, and no prince's shelf. The people who were nervous gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere became lively.

King Xiu came to Xin Yu with a wine glass: "Xiao Wang has admired Miss Kou for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to toast Miss Kou, and I hope that Miss Kou will appreciate it."

Everyone toasted each other, and Yu Guang desperately looked this way.

A few days ago, at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, King Qing asked Miss Kou to fight for wine, but they haven't forgotten it, and today King Xiu is also looking for Miss Kou to fight for wine?

Tsk, let's not talk about whether this thing is good or bad, there are a total of two princes who went out of the palace to open the mansion in the dynasty, and they all toasted to Miss Kou, and Miss Kou is also the only one among the women in the capital.

Everyone held wine glasses and looked nonchalant, but they couldn't wait to see how Miss Kou responded.

He Qingxiao looked at this scene and also thought of that day.

After that day, they all said that Miss Kou would not pour a thousand cups, but he knew that she was drunk.

Her drunken words are still in her ears: Lord He, why are you looking better than usual today?

Thinking of this, He Qingxiao unconsciously curled her lips.

It was also because of Miss Kou's words that he returned to the Changle Hou Mansion that day and took a closer look in the mirror for the first time.

The memories of being found by Aunt Gui in the mirror are not very good, He Qingxiao retracted his thoughts, and the hand holding the wine glass was slightly forced.

King Xiu has always been low-key, why is he so enthusiastic about Miss Kou today?

It is true that Miss Kou is the largest donor among the people here, but she is a young girl, and it seems a bit too much to be the king of Xiu.

But looking at the expression of the show king, he was calm again.

He Qingxiao pursed her lips slightly and watched the changes.

Xin Yu's eyes swept over the tray that Gong E was carrying, and picked up the wine glass placed in front of her.

The banquet seat had been booked a long time ago, and her table was served with fruit wine at the beginning.

"His Royal Highness King Xiu is polite." Xin Yu raised his glass and lowered his eyes to drink the fruit wine.

King Xiu drank the wine in his cup happily, and his tone was gentle: "Miss Kou eats more vegetables. This honey-glazed deer breast is a specialty dish of the palace chef, and Miss Kou can try it."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Xiu." Xin Yu thanked him generously.

She hasn't had much contact with King Xiu, and it's not clear if it's because she donated the most that King Xiu treats him differently, or if King Xiu is gentle and polite to people.

Either way, it didn't matter to her.

Xiuwang nodded at Xinyu and walked to the next table.

Seeing that there was no excitement, everyone silently withdrew their attention.

"Miss Kou, I'll give you a drink." A girl at the same table raised a glass to Xinyu.

The girl has long eyebrows and sideburns, and there is a kind of heroic beauty, and there is no cowardice when she introduces herself: "My name is Bai Ying, and I came to the banquet for my mother, who was a general under General Xu......

As soon as Xin Yu heard it, she knew the identity of the girl.

Emperor Xingyuan fought the world in those years, Empress Xin has been moving forward hand in hand with him, which has set an example for many women, and there have been several famous female generals in the troubled times, but unfortunately these female generals either died in the war, or retired due to injury, or married and had children, and there was no trace of the court. Among them, General Bai is the most famous and has the highest military achievements.

Although General Bai is rarely mentioned among the people now, Xin Yu has heard of it.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Bai lived in a simple house because of old injuries, and then suddenly gave birth to a daughter, and General Bai was not married at that time. This caused an uproar at the time, and many courtiers angrily wrote to ask for General Bai's canonization, but Emperor Xingyuan refused.

It is said that Empress Xin slapped the dagger in front of Emperor Xingyuan and said that whoever mentioned depriving General Bai of his merits would step on his mansion.

It is also said that in the years when Empress Xin did not leave, there were few concubines among hundreds of officials and nobles, first, she did not want to make a bad impression on the queen, and second, the fierce women in the family really dared to lift a knife......

Bai Ying looks like she has been in her twenties, and she still has the makeup of a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet.

Xin Yu raised his glass: "My name is Kou Qingqing, respect the white girl."

Thinking about it, the white girl's mother had also had a good time with her mother, and Xin Yu couldn't help but have a good impression of the girl in front of her.

Feeling the kindness of Xin Yu, Bai Ying drank all the wine in the cup.

In fact, she didn't look so breezy as she looked, and when she held up her glass, she was worried about the embarrassment of being rejected.

She is a person whose father is unknown, and those people from childhood to adulthood are polite on the surface, but they are disdainful in their hearts, and many people say unpleasant things to their faces.

She just thinks that Miss Kou, who donated 50,000 taels of silver, is very remarkable, and it would be a pity to be able to sit at the same table, if she didn't even say a word.

"What does the White Maiden do on weekdays? If you have some leisure, you can often come to Qingsong Bookstore to play......

Bai Ying couldn't help but nod.

She is not a person who likes to read books, but she decided to go back and buy all the books from Qingsong Bookstore and take a good look.

He Qingxiao looked at it from afar and couldn't help but raise his lips.

Miss Kou seems to have made new friends again.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was in full swing, and suddenly a news rang out: "The emperor has arrived——"

Everyone in the hall moved, and many people were shocked to lose the fast child in their hands, and then hurriedly bowed down, calling "Your Majesty".

Emperor Xingyuan was hugged and walked into the hall, and the heat on his face made him squint. The splendid cloak that had fallen a lot of snow was taken down by the great eunuch Sun Yan and handed over to the chamberlain on the side.

King Xiu walked over: "Father."

Emperor Xingyuan bowed slightly, his eyes slowly swept over the people in the hall, and he saw the back of his head.

"Dingbei is moving, I think about the suffering of the people and can't sleep at night, but fortunately, there are good deeds to help the victims of Dingbei tide over the difficulties. Get up, I have come here to see the benevolent people of my capital with my own eyes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Many people quietly wiped their eyes when they got up, and even trembled with excitement.

God, donate some money to meet the emperor, next time I have this opportunity!

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan saw the expressions of these people, he guessed their general thoughts, and there was a surging smile in his eyes.

He came here because he was curious about Miss Kou, and if he could inspire these rich people to donate enthusiastically in the future, it would be unexpected.

"I've heard that the biggest donor to the disaster area is the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, Miss Kou."

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan's words came out, some wealthy businessmen with exceptionally rich families regretted it.

I knew that donating 50,000 taels could be named by the emperor, and it was not that I couldn't donate.

Why didn't you say it earlier!

And Duan Shaoqing is in a different mood: Why didn't the emperor say that it was his niece of Duan Wensong, but the owner of Qingsong Bookstore?

Without mentioning everyone's thoughts, there must be a response when the emperor pointed out, Xin Yu stood up and saluted: "Kou Qingqing, the people's daughter, I have seen Your Majesty."
