"Mother, what happened to your face?"
Yun Chang raised her hand and touched her face, she came back to her senses, and couldn't help laughing: "Mother has a new makeup today, does it look good?"
Chengye stared at it for a long time, pursed his lips and shook his head: "It doesn't look good, it looks like it's sick."
Listening to Chengye's childish words, Yunshang smiled even wider: "It's not good-looking, that mother will not dress up like this in the future."
"En." Chengye nodded solemnly, his eyes turned around in the hall, and then landed on the bed: "Hey, why is Father still sleeping?"
Yunshang followed Chengye's gaze and took Chengye's hand lightly: "Father is tired, let's let him sleep for a while. Today is mother's birthday. Later, Chengye will accompany your mother." Would you like to go to the birthday banquet together?"
Chengye nodded: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he widened his eyes again, put his fingers to his lips, and gestured for silence: "Father is sleeping, mother, let's speak softly."
"Okay, keep your voice down."
Yunshang pulled Chengye to sit down on the soft couch, and asked softly: "Can Chengye have fun with grandma?"
"Happy, my grandmother and grandfather made me a lot of things, but it's fun, and my grandfather still plays with me."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "What did grandfather play with you?"
"Riding a big horse!" Chengye said excitedly, "Riding a big horse is fun, and my grandfather even gave me a big horse."
It never occurred to him that Xia Huanyu would still play with Chengye. Didn't he always... dislike Chengye
"Oh? What else did your grandfather play with you?"
Chengye tilted his head and thought for a while: "Reading and reading, playing Jiulianhuan, making paper kites...there are many more."
After hearing what Chengye said, Yunshang understood. Previously, rumors about Chengye being an idiot spread everywhere, and Xia Huanyu once believed those rumors. It's just that Xia Huanyu became suspicious of those rumors because of the growing business and knowing more and more things.
It was convenient for Xia Huanyu that she sent Chengye to Hualing's side. Xia Huanyu seized this opportunity to get along with Chengye, under the guise of playing with Chengye, but in fact he was testing whether Chengye was really an idiot.
Yun Shang hooked the corners of her mouth, but didn't say a word about what Xia Huanyu did, but turned away.
"Your Majesty, the banquet has been set, and all civil and military officials have arrived."
Yun Chang heard the voice, stood up, and took Chengye's hand: "Let's go, it's time for us to go to the palace banquet."
Chengye was holding a puppet in his hand. Hearing what Yunshang said, he nodded and raised his foot to go outside, but he suddenly remembered something: "Isn't the father going?"
"Father won't go. He's too tired and needs a good night's sleep. Let's not disturb him."
"good."
The banquet was held in Changting Garden, and Yun Chang paused slightly when she walked to the door, but there was not much noise inside.
"The Empress is here—"
"His Royal Highness is here—"
Yunshang took Chengye's hand and entered the garden.
"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"His Royal Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old."
Yunshang took Chengye to the main seat and sat down, and glanced at the people below: "Pingshen, please take your seat."
Everyone got up and took their seats one after another. Perhaps because of what happened at the court today and the influence of the rumors outside, the civil and military officials and family members of the garden looked at Yunshang and Chengye with strange eyes.
Liu Wen'an stood on one side, with a smile on his face: "Today is the Empress Empress Qianqiu, and all the adults have prepared congratulatory gifts for the empress. Why don't you take a look at the wishes of the empress?"
"Alright." Yun Chang smiled and nodded.
Only now did Liu Wen'an stand up straight, and shook the dust in his hands: "All officials present gifts."
As soon as Liu Wen'an finished speaking, the officials remained silent.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head and looked at Liu Wen'an with a smile: "Didn't Director Liu say that all the adults have prepared congratulatory gifts for this palace?"
Liu Wen'an smiled embarrassingly: "My lords..."
"Ma'am."
A person stood up, and Yun Chang squinted his eyes to look over, and recognized the identity of that person, Dali Temple Chancellor, Wang Jingyu.
One of the students of the former Grand Tutor Ling Hai.
"Oh? Master Wang, what do you want to say?"
Wang Jingyu lowered his head: "I have always heard that Your Majesty and Your Majesty are deeply in love with each other. Today is Your Majesty's future, so will Your Majesty not show his face?"
Without waiting for Yunshang to answer, Wang Jingyu went on to say: "I went out of the palace early today, and heard some rumors outside the palace, saying that your majesty is not actually sick, but poisoned. And the poison is highly poisonous. Nan. Sui Nan has an antidote, but the antidote is hard to find. If the antidote is not found, after three days, the poison will enter the heart and lungs, and you will definitely die."
"Your Majesty didn't go to the court for three days, and my minister dared to ask the empress. There are folk rumors, but is it true?"
As soon as Wang Jingyu finished speaking, before Yunshang made a sound, Chengye, who was sitting next to Yunshang, spoke loudly: "Nonsense! Father is just tired and sleeping."
When the officials heard Chengye's words, their whispers suddenly became louder.
"Tired? Sleeping?" Wang Jingyu's eyes lit up suddenly: "Although the rumors and rumors outside today are very powerful, and they all sound reasonable, but I still don't want to speculate on anything. However, in the past three days since His Majesty did not go to court, the excuses made by Manager Liu and the Empress were inconsistent and full of loopholes, which really made the ministers have to wonder if something really happened to His Majesty? The rumors outside, Is it true?"
Yun Chang pursed her lips: "What gossip? You might as well listen to it, Mr. Wang."
Wang Jingyu glanced at the other officials in the garden before he said: "There are rumors outside that the empress was locked up in the ice cellar because of being tricked, which caused the little prince to give birth prematurely. Staying in it for too long caused the little prince to become mentally incomplete, and your mother also injured the root of your body because of this, and you will no longer be able to have children."
The smile on Yun Shang's face remained unchanged: "I'm tired of hearing this rumor, but what else is new?"
"There are also rumors that His Majesty is not sick but poisoned, and this poison was given to His Majesty by the Empress herself, in order to control the government of Xia Kingdom!"
Yun Shang sneered: "Is this palace crazy? Your majesty has a deep affection for this palace, and never thought of accepting a concubine. There is only one person in your majesty's harem, and only one of your majesty's children will inherit the job. Why should I do this?" ?”
"This... I don't know. It's just that no matter how good your majesty treats the empress, the empress is only the master of the harem. But if something happens to your majesty, once the young master is established, the front and harem will belong to the empress .”
