As a great scholar, Zhu Xi is naturally the representative of scholars in the world. He sits on the right side of the second row. In front of him are three princes and two princesses. This kind of standard treatment is extremely high for scholars in the world.

Encourage and support.

As night fell, the lights in Shengping Tower were extremely bright. The officials exchanged greetings with each other and had their own secrets in mind, watching the performance of the three princes at the banquet today.

Rather than saying that they came to attend the birthday banquet, it would be more straightforward to say that they came to see the status of the three princes who were all over twenty years old in the eyes of the Holy Emperor.

The last time such a large-scale birthday banquet was held was the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, which was six years ago.

The Holy Father does not like extravagance and waste, but he pays special attention to the Queen Mother's birthday. It just so happens that the Queen Mother's health is deteriorating this time. I don't know next year...

Six years ago, the eldest prince had just turned twenty, and the emperor was in his prime, but the matter of the prince had not been put on the agenda. Now that the right prime minister has returned, it is clear that he must put the left prime minister in front to avoid the situation where the tail is too big to lose.

Everyone has someone who is close to him. This year, at this birthday banquet, it was just a dragon, snake, and elephant dance, each showing his magical powers.

Those who can sit here are not ordinary people. If they don't have this political understanding, they will not appear in the court. Without the leftist Prime Minister taking action, a few ministers will probably demote them out.

"The Queen Mother has arrived..."

"The saint has arrived..."

"The imperial concubine has arrived..."

The eunuch stood on the stage and shouted three times in succession, but saw the Holy Emperor and the imperial concubine walking out slowly, supporting the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother has gray hair and is holding Fengyi's crutch in her hand. On the right is the forty-five-year-old Emperor Shenwu, and on the left is the twenty-two-year-old concubine Gu Su Mu. She is charming and charming, and she is in her prime.

All the officials congratulated her, and after the Queen Mother took her seat, the saint made way for her.

However, Emperor Shenwu's eyes were darkened and he looked a little tired, while the imperial concubine on one side was in high spirits, and the queen mother in the middle was also in high spirits, which was completely different from what was rumored before.

Emperor Shenwu stood up, picked up the wine glass, and knelt down towards the Queen Mother: "My son, I wish my mother to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."

Immediately afterwards, the imperial concubines, civil and military officials all knelt down and said in unison: "I wish the Queen Mother to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains..."

"Get up, get up, today is a family banquet, and you are all ministers. There is no need to be too polite. Get up quickly..." The Queen Mother raised her hand with kind eyes and narrowed her eyes.

Emperor Shenwu stood up, helped up the imperial concubine, and said in return: "My dear ladies, please get back on your feet. Mother has said that today is a family banquet, so dear ladies, please enjoy your drink."

After saying that, the Empress Dowager's favorite colorful feather dress dance came on stage. A group of young girls were in the center of the dance floor. The leader was Na Hua Yourong.

Emperor Shenwu watched the songs and dances intently. After dancing, he was rewarded with many rewards.

Hua Yourong came off the stage to get ready. A woman wearing white gauze came slowly and danced lightly. After a moment, she saw the little princess Xia Silu running in with a group of dolls and dancing with the woman.

The seemingly ordinary dance made the Queen Mother's expression stagnant. She slowly showed an incredible expression, reached out and grabbed the guard of the chair, and wanted to stand up.

The maids on the left and right hurriedly helped the queen mother to stand up, while the imperial concubine and Emperor Shenwu also stood up and followed behind. The imperial concubine did not understand why the queen mother was so interested in this program. Even Xia Silu, whom she had not seen for a long time, would not come.

This is the point.

But the Queen Mother's hands were obviously trembling. The three princes and two princesses also saw this scene. Suddenly, a trace of difference flashed in Xia Wanqiu's eyes. She hurriedly pulled Xia Qingxue and said: "It's impossible.

, how is that possible?”

Xia Qingxue seemed to have discovered something, and held Xia Wanqiu's hand tightly: "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, it's obviously already..."

But what happened next shocked all the civil and military officials.

The woman took off the white gauze on her face and knelt on the ground with Xia Silu: "Lu Yutong, please see Your Majesty and wish my mother a long life..."

"What...Princess Changping?"

"How is it possible? People cannot be resurrected after death. This... this..."

"Didn't you die in Jinling? Why are you still alive and well? Which step is it..."

"The state funeral was held, and people are alive again, haha..."

For a moment, the whole hall was in an uproar, saying that the dead cannot be resurrected, but now Princess Changping was standing in front of her alive, and judging from Emperor Shenwu's expression, it was obvious that he knew that Princess Changping would come back today.

Although Changping Princess Lu Yutong was not the Queen Mother's biological daughter, she followed the Holy Emperor before he became the Crown Prince. When Emperor Shenwu succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to confer the title of Queen Mother, and the second thing

The matter is that Princess Changping was established, which shows the status of Princess Changping in the heart of the Queen Mother.

Although there are three princesses, the other two really want to call Princess Changping aunt. With Princess Changping around, the two of them will never get ahead. There are even rumors that this aunt is not actually their aunt.

But...

There can be no waves without wind, and there can be no wind without wind.

The Queen Mother's expression now said everything.

The Queen Mother slowly walked down, trying to reach out to help Princess Changping: "Good boy, good boy, you are okay, I am not dizzy, am I still alive..."

Emperor Shenwu beside him smiled and said: "Mother, my sister is still alive. I congratulate my mother. God bless Daxia, which is a blessing to all people..."

Lu Yutong stood up, flew into the arms of the Queen Mother, and couldn't help sobbing.

Tears flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she patted Lu Yutong with trembling hands: "It's true, it's true, good, good... well done, well done..."

This is the greatest compliment the Empress Dowager gave to Emperor Shenwu: "Whoever has contributed should be rewarded, rewarded..."

Emperor Shenwu smiled and said, "That's natural. Don't worry, Queen Mother. Your children and ministers will be rewarded and punished clearly."

"Welcome to the princess..." Someone shouted, and all the officials shouted in unison.

The Queen Mother pulled Princess Changping and sat down in her seat. Lu Yutong naturally refused, but Emperor Shenwu also pushed her up with a smile and pressed her next to the Queen Mother with his own hands. Lu Yutong then sat down.

Xia Silu ran up, holding a fist-sized birthday peach in her hand: "Grandma, this is the peach tree that Silu planted herself. It is the first time this year that it has produced fruit, so she picked it and presented it to grandma."

"Good granddaughter, good granddaughter, come and sit with grandma." The queen mother took the longevity peach, picked up Xia Silu and put it beside her. On the left and right were Princess Changping and the little princess. They were really enviable.

"Haha, it seems that the weather is uncertain. It is still unclear how much snow will fall this year and when it will fall."

"Haha, no matter when it rains or how much it rains, it will rain anyway. The auspicious snow heralds a good year. Wouldn't it be a pity if it doesn't snow?"

"Yes, if it doesn't snow, how can we know the harvest next year? Just like me, the household department, I don't know what the harvest will be in the coming year, and I have no way of starting with many things..."
