The courtiers couldn't help but notice that although they all knew that Ji Yannuo was now blessed as a prince, there were many people who had been demoted as princes throughout the dynasties.
What's more, the prince rebelled against the prince, and the courtiers were filled with doubts.
Prime Minister Li looked at Ji Yannuo, who had the same expression, and frowned slightly. He was afraid that Ji Yannuo would be the next crown prince.
If this were not the case, how could the emperor hand over important political affairs to Ji Yannuo? If they were just the dumpsters sent to the East Palace in the past, they would be nothing. Compared with the political affairs that the emperor needed to deal with, they would be even more important.
No countertop allowed.
The emperor's behavior now undoubtedly spread the news that he valued Ji Yannuo. It also made Ji Yannuo inquire about the identity of the prince and the future prince.
Ji Yannuo's expression remained calm, as if he had heard an extremely normal thing, without arousing any suspicion.
In fact, Ji Yannuo's heart was like a pebble falling into a calm lake causing ripples, and at the same time he also noticed something was wrong.
The emperor was obviously in good health, and Ye Fuxun also checked his pulse. How could such a body leave important political affairs to him?
The more Ji Yannuo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He quickly returned to the East Palace, asked the palace maid Ye Fuxun where she was, and then hurried to find her.
After a while, Ye Fuxun looked at Ji Yannuo, who was still breathing slightly, feeling helpless. Seeing this look, she had already guessed why he appeared in front of her.
"Is there really nothing abnormal about the emperor's body?" Ji Yannuo stared at Ye Fuxun closely, fearing that he would miss any expression on her face, lest she was hiding the emperor's true condition.
Ye Fuxun sighed. She was thinking about how to speak. After a long time, she said: "On the day I took the pulse, I found out that the emperor's pulse was very weak, and it was not caused in one or two days, but over many years."
"I didn't want to tell you the real situation because the emperor told you after waking up yesterday that this matter should not be made public." After saying that, Ye Fuxun looked at Ji Yannuo.
Finally, he opened his mouth to comfort: "As for why the emperor didn't even tell you, he just doesn't want you to worry about him. Once the emperor is really ill, everything in the court and the court will have to rely on you. If you pretend to have other things in your heart,
Things will definitely go wrong."
Ye Fuxun told the truth about the emperor's physical condition one by one. After hearing these words, Ji Yannuo's eyes immediately turned red.
His heart was filled with sadness, but he also understood that the emperor had good intentions.
Every day after that, after finishing his political duties, he would play chess and drink tea with the emperor. The purpose was to spend more time with the emperor and to make the emperor feel better.
Half a month later, the tenth day of the lunar month arrived, and the tenth day of the lunar month was Ye Fuxun's birthday.
It's just that Ye Fuxun has no intention of handling these pretentious matters at the moment, seeing that all the power has been handed over to the female officer.
The female officer was wearing a red official uniform and a black hat, and came over with a pile of brochures in her hands. When she saw Ye Fuxun, she saluted respectfully, and immediately showed hesitation: "Princess, here are all the details of your birthday ceremony.
It’s on the booklet.”
"The list of people participating in the birthday ceremony has been drawn up, please take a look." The female official said as she placed the booklet on the table in front of Ye Fuxun.
Immediately, the female officer quietly waited for Ye Fuxun's suggestion from behind.
Although Ye Fuxun has given her the full authority to organize the birthday ceremony, after all, it is the birthday ceremony of a princess, and there is no room for sloppiness. In many matters, she does not dare to make the decision privately, so this is why she came up with it.
Ask about Ye Fuxun.
Ye Fuxun sighed and looked helplessly.
After flipping through it casually, she stopped, looked at the female official with dark eyes and said: "In this way, I can rest assured that you can handle it, just like the birthday ceremonies of previous princesses. If you feel something is wrong and can't make up your mind, come again.
Ask me."
Ye Fuxun flipped through it a few times, but couldn't stand it at all, so he thought of a way to neutralize it, which was much easier.
When the female officer heard this, she saw that Ye Fuxun's eyes were dark and blue, and his face showed fatigue.
Seeing this, the female officer nodded immediately, took the booklet and left without saying anything more.
In fact, after listening to Ye Fuxun's words, the female officer carefully referred to many matters related to the birthday ceremonies of previous princesses. In the end, the female officer arranged Ye Fuxun's birthday ceremony in a very grand manner.
Not only that, the emperor personally presided over it.
Now the banquet has officially begun. The ministers are all sitting on both sides. The emperor is in the main seat, and Ji Yannuo is slightly below.
As for the female family members, the leader is naturally the Queen Mother. As the protagonist of today's banquet, Ye Fuxun, naturally sits next to the Queen Mother, and the emperor's concubine is also present.
The female relatives of the ministers also sat on both sides, with maids waiting behind them.
The Queen Mother attended today. After making her opening remarks, she looked at everyone below with a smile: "Today is the princess's birthday. Du Fang, go and present the gift prepared by the Ai family to the princess."
After saying this, the personal maid next to the Queen Mother handed the sandalwood box she had been holding to Xi Luo, who was beside Ye Fuxun.
Catching the Queen Mother's gaze, Xi Luo opened it and immediately saw the crystal clear dragon beads.
"This dragon bead was given to Ai Jia as a birthday gift by the late emperor when Ai Jia was young. Today, Ai Jia will give it to the princess." The Queen Mother had a big smile on her face and looked like she loved Ye Fuxun very much.
The reason why the Queen Mother made such a big move was to erase the previous rumors about Ye Fuxun from the outside world, so as not to lose the identity of the royal family.
As soon as the dragon bead came out, the female relatives below all sighed and said it was precious.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the Queen Mother did not stay any longer and found a reason to leave after a while.
As soon as the Queen Mother left, naturally the female family members were no longer so restrained. Concubine Rong from the concubine's side immediately came to Ye Fuxun. At the same time, Mrs. Li's beautiful face also came over.
"Ah Xun, this is my birthday gift to you." Concubine Rong said, then opened a box in her hand, and saw an extremely exquisite hairpin inside.
Ye Fuxun responded with a smile: "I wrote about the empress."
Seeing Ye Fuxun speaking so politely, Concubine Rong couldn't help but laugh, and then she looked at Hua Rong.
She, Ye Fuxun and Hua Rong had a good relationship when they were in the boudoir. Later, she became the emperor's concubine, Ye Fuxun became the princess, and Hua Rong married the young and promising Li Shangshu.
"Rong'er, what are you preparing for Ah Xun today?" Concubine Rong looked at Hua Rong curiously.
Since both of their names have the same character, they didn't feel any distance, but rather became closer to each other.
Huarong covered her lips with a smile and took the gift she had prepared early in the morning.
Ye Fuxun also took it with a smile. So many things happened during these days, she originally thought that the birthday gift was just a casual one.
