Hei Xuanyi doesn't need to talk nonsense, and after tonight, all the ministers of the court and the most humble servants in the family will know what happened at the family banquet, and if they want to gossip in the future, they have to think about what the prince said tonight.
Hei Xuanyi said everything that should be said, and let everyone sit down for dinner.
The emperor, the empress and their children and grandchildren sat at the same table, and other people sat down according to their ranks. After everyone sat down, there were a few empty tables on both sides of the emperor's throne. According to the previous practice, those were the people with the highest seniority. sitting position.
Hei Xuanyi put Xiao Xiao on the table, and glanced at the empty table next to him, "Grandfather and the others didn't come?"
The emperor said: "Your great-grandfather and the others value you the most, and they cannot accept that you marry a man for a while."
Hei Zihe sneered: "A group of stubborn old people, now that the boat is done, what else do they want to make trouble with?"
The empress who took the seat with her balls in her arms said, "They just can't bear to come here. If they know that they have such a lovely grandson, they will wish to hold them in their arms and play with them every day."
Wu Ruo asked strangely: "Grandfather and the others don't know about the existence of Dandan and Xiaoxiao?"
"Of course I know." The empress explained to him: "It's just that they have a conservative concept, thinking that the child was not born to the wife of Xuan Yi's famous matchmaker who is marrying back. If they came to see the child excitedly, it would make Xuan Yi's wife feel sad It’s uncomfortable, so, on the one hand, they are taking your feelings into consideration, which means that they have accepted you in their hearts who have married Xuan Yi, and on the other hand, they don’t accept that Hei Xuanyi’s partner is a man. contradiction."
"The last time Xuan Yi announced that the child was my own, didn't he tell them?"
"No, Xuan Yi wants us to keep it secret for the time being." The Empress looked at her eldest son and said with a smile, "I think Xuan Yi wants to see how other people treat you."
Hei Xuanxu chuckled: "After tonight, they know that the child is the birth of the sister-in-law, so they will definitely not be able to sit still, and then they will secretly go to see Dandan and the others."
"After the crown prince announced that the child was born to the crown princess, they couldn't sit still." A voice interjected into their chat.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the Great Spiritualist smiled and sat beside Wu Ruo.
"Great Spiritualist." The emperor and empress called out in a respectful tone.
The great spiritual master said: "When I first came, those children wandered around in the compound, wanting to enter but were too embarrassed to enter, depending on the situation, they were waiting for you to invite them in, but I sent them back, lest When they came in, they were putting on airs again, making it impossible for everyone to eat.”
Wu Ruo was rather awkward hearing this. A man who seemed to be about the same age as him called the emperor's great-grandfathers children. It was a bit funny no matter how he heard it.
The Great Spiritualist noticed Wu Ruo's gaze, turned his head and smiled at him: "Don't pay attention to those old stubborn people, if it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be so many objections."
The emperor frowned: "Send them back, okay? They should be more angry?"
"I told them, wait until Xiao Ruo really accepts Xiaoruo to see the children, so as not to make troubles and cause the children to dislike them, and when they heard that the children would dislike them, they quickly left." The great spiritual master laughed. Stretching out fingers and stroking the little head: "If you two little children meet those stubborn old people in the future, show them your face. If you don't accept your father, don't talk to them."
Little nod.
The empress smiled and said: "That's good, let them also taste the taste of not being accepted by others.
The corners of the emperor's and Wuruo's mouths twitched.
Hei Xuanyi remained silent, indicating that he had no objection to the Great Spiritualist doing this.
Seeing that the dishes had been served, the emperor announced the opening of the table.
The great spiritual master said in Wu Ruo's ear: "I know you have opened a shop, and the business is very prosperous. It happens that there are a lot of magic talismans in my palace. How about you selling them for me?"
Wu Ruo asked softly, "How much?"
The Great Spiritualist made an estimate: "There are probably thousands of boxes of talismans, and hundreds of boxes of pills."
Wu Ruo asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"
"When I'm okay or when I'm angry, I draw talismans to make alchemy to calm my mind. The backlog of hundreds of years is a lot. Most of them are low-level pills and low-level talismans that I refined before I became a great spiritual master. I can't send them out. , and I can’t bear to throw it away, my painting is so beautiful, it’s a pity to throw it away.”
"Why can't you send it out?"
"It's not that I can't give it away. At the beginning, my status was relatively low. I was too embarrassed to give it to others. I was worried that others would not accept it, or they would make fun of me behind my back after receiving it. My master will not let me give it away randomly. These things. After I become a Great Spiritualist, everyone who comes here wants high-level talismans and pills. In order not to lower my status, the pills and talismans refined before can only be stored.”
Wu Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your pills will be sent to my palace, and the talismans will be sent to Shop No. 1 for Lao Hei to receive, and they will be settled for you at the end of each month."
"Okay." The Great Spiritualist said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't throw them away, otherwise, I would have lost a lot of money."
Wu Ruo: "..."
Hei Xuantang, who was sitting opposite, saw that Wu Ruo was having such a happy chat with the great spiritual master, so he asked casually, "Great spiritual master, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
The great spiritual master was embarrassed to tell Wu Ruo about selling the magic talisman, so he turned to the topic that many people have discussed recently and said, "We are talking about the magician competition in a month's time."
Hei Xuantang was surprised and said, "Will the Great Spiritualist also participate?"
"As a Great Spiritualist, I really lose my status to participate in the magician competition." The Great Spiritualist said very confidently: "But if I participate, I will definitely win the first place."
Hei Xuanxu sneered: "With my elder brother here, you want to take the first place?"
Wu Ruo was surprised. Hei Xuanyi is more powerful than a 400-year-old great spiritualist? Just kidding.
Hei Xuanyi said: "On the day of the competition, I will be responsible for the security of the Necromancer Kingdom, so I cannot participate in the competition."
Wu Ruo heard that she was very glad that she didn't have to fight against Hei Xuanyi, but if Hei Xuanyi didn't participate, the chance of getting the first prize would be reduced.
Hei Xuanyi glanced at Hei Xuantang and the others: "You guys had better not participate."
He was worried that someone would take the opportunity to kill Hei Xuantang and the others on stage.
Hei Xuanxu and the others nodded.
After dinner, everyone left the imperial palace.
After Eggy left Yuxiang Palace, she collapsed into Wu Ruo's arms comfortably, and asked Wu Ruo to rub his round belly for him. Then, she burped contentedly and let out a loud fart at the same time, hee hee Smile: "When you are full, you should relax."
Hei Xuanyi glanced at him lightly.
Wu Ruo patted his butt amusedly: "It stinks."
Eggy pouted and said, "Daddy lied."
Wu Ruo raised her eyebrows: "How did I lie to you?"
The stench disperses in the air.
"Daddy, you said that I am good in your eyes, so the farts I fart should also smell good to you."
The corner of Wu Ruo's mouth twitched.
Hei Xuanyi bent the corners of his mouth, and just about to laugh out loud, he heard someone snort and laughed out loud before him.
"Who?" Wu Ruo looked towards the laughter, but didn't see anyone coming out.
Hei Xuanyi glanced lightly, and pulled Wu Ruo back to Hengxing Palace.
Wu Ruo asked, "Who was laughing just now?"
"Grandfather and the others."
Wu Ruo was speechless: "Didn't they leave?"
"They didn't see how the children were willing to leave. If they don't show up by themselves in the future, ignore them." Hei Xuanyi sent the children back to the room and went to the study to handle business.
While undressing the child, Wu Ruo asked Heixin, "Uncle Xin, Xuanyi's great-great-grandfather is still here, why is it his father's turn to be emperor?"
Heixin smiled and said: "Emperor Gao Zu and the others don't like to meddle in political affairs. After the child can support the overall situation, they will quickly pass the throne to the next generation. Crown Princess, after you marry the crown prince, the emperor may do the same."
Wu Ruo was ashamed: "Isn't it?"
"Since the emperor took over the position, the empress has been clamoring for the emperor to give way to his children. The emperor doesn't like to take care of political affairs, so most of the things will be handled by the prince. Try to wait until the prince gets married before leaving Pass the position to him."
Wu Ruo said: "I don't like Xuan Yi being the emperor either, he doesn't even have time to accompany me."
He rubbed Dandan's head: "You grow up quickly and take over your father's position."
Eggy threw herself into the soft cotton bed and said, "Daddy, I don't want to be the emperor."
Wu Ruo looked at him worriedly: "Why not?"
"I don't like sitting on the dragon chair."
"Yes, you are a person who can't sit still. If you become the emperor, I will always worry about whether you will destroy the kingdom of the dead." Wu Ruo looked at Xiao Xiao who was sitting quietly on the small bed: " Still small is more suitable.”
However, the minister who is too small and has bad eyesight may not be able to see someone on the dragon chair.
"The old slave also thinks that your highness is more suitable."
Wu Ruo smiled and said: "It's too early for us to say this. If this was discussed in other countries, I'm afraid they would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago. By the way, Uncle Xin, when I was eating just now, I saw that everyone dared not refute it." For Xuan Yi, why is that?"
"The prince treats all his relatives equally. He will not be soft-hearted just because he is a relative, and he will not let them act unscrupulously in front of him. Over time, he will establish his majesty, forming a situation where everyone can dare to refute the emperor's words, but not Dare to say a word in front of the prince, they are very clear that as long as they follow the prince's words, the prince will treat them with courtesy."
"So that's how it is," Wu Ruo thought for a while and asked again: "During dinner, the fifth younger brother said that if Xuan Yi participated in the magician competition, the great spiritual master would not be able to win the first place. Why is that? Isn't the great spiritual master more than four hundred years old?" Is his cultivation level? Could it be that he is not as good as Xuan Yi?"
Heixin said: "It's not a matter of cultivation, but whether the secret arts are strong enough. The crown prince has inherited all the secret arts left by the immortals, so when facing the great spiritual master, the odds of winning are still very high."
"What secret technique?"
"This old slave doesn't know much about secret arts, so you should ask the prince when he is free."
"Okay." Wu Ruo covered the children with quilts before leaving the room.
