There is no way to celebrate this birthday.

Other people's carnival was the source of difficulty for the brothers and sisters. All tragedies started from this day. How could they live like this?

But Yu Huan is now excitedly looking forward to her birthday, so how can she tell her.

Do you want to mention the past again?

Yu Huan is not yet seven years old.

Yu Yan's mood calmed down, "This year there is a big funeral for the prince, and there may not be a palace banquet held three days later, but three days later happens to be this year's autumn scientific examination, and I will be watching the whole process in the Imperial College. I can't get away.

If something unexpected happens here, and you don't have time to tell me, you can decide what to do."

Yu Yan's words became a prophecy.

Three days later.

At the same time that Qiu Wei opened, Xiao Jiayuan picked up people from Prince Duankang's palace and finally entered Beijing.

Yu Yan couldn't get out of the Imperial Academy, so Xiao Jiayuan brought people from Prince Duankang's palace into the palace.

In the imperial study, the emperor was talking to the Minister of Rites.

The emperor frowned, "Now that the eldest princess has gone to Lotus Temple, Yan'er and Huanhuan have become children without a father and a mother. It's already miserable and pitiful, and they can't even celebrate their birthdays?"

Every year in the past, Huanhuan's birthday would be held grandly in the palace and the eldest princess's mansion. This year, Prince Yu's mansion was raided by everyone, so her birthday was not a good one. What do the people outside think? I think I can't tolerate this.

Two children.”

The Minister of Rites is almost bald with sorrow.

"Your Majesty, I'm not saying it won't be done. It can still be done. However, the prince's funeral has not yet been carried out and the mourning hall is in the prince's palace. It is really not suitable to hold a banquet in the palace."

The Minister of Rites found it unbelievable.

How could someone think about celebrating the birthday of their nephew's daughter when their son died and the body was still lying in the mourning hall without being buried? This is the daughter of Prince Yu and the eldest princess.

Not only should the birthday party be held, but it should also be grand.

Not only silk and bamboo singing and dancing, but also fireworks and firecrackers.

Aren't you afraid that the prince will fake the corpse?

The objection from the Minister of Etiquette made Emperor Long Yan furious. He slapped the table and said, "Even if Huanhuan is not given a biological child, wouldn't Prince Duankang and his family come to Beijing and hold a banquet to welcome the emperor?"

Princess Yunyang is the late emperor’s favorite princess. She has lived in Liuzhou for so many years, and this is the first time she has returned to Beijing since she went to Liuzhou. Shouldn’t she have a banquet?”

The Minister of Rites tried his best to persuade: "Your Majesty, even Princess Yunyang will understand. It makes no sense for them to go to the Prince's Mansion to express condolences and then go into the palace to laugh at Yan Yan. Your Majesty is wise. It is really inappropriate to hold a banquet in the palace at this time.

.”

The emperor looked angry and sat on his chair dissatisfied.

The chamberlain stood on one side and pushed the cup of Sydney soup at a suitable temperature forward, "Your Majesty, please drink a little to moisten your throat."

The emperor took a deep breath, grabbed the cup of snow pear soup, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

It was okay not to drink it, but after drinking it, I became more angry. He placed the bowl heavily on the table and said, "This matter is settled like this. You said it is impossible to do something grand, and I will not force it, but Prince Duankang's Palace

There still needs to be a welcoming banquet. In addition, since Huanhuan’s birthday cannot be held in a big way, then we will open the treasury and reward all serving officials in Kyoto, regardless of their rank!”

The Minister of Rites twitched his lips and obeyed the order silently.

As they were talking, the little chamberlain outside called out, "Your Majesty, Princess Yunyang, I would like to see Prince Duankang."

When the emperor heard this, the anger on his face immediately dissipated, replaced by an unconcealable tension.

The chamberlain added another cup of pear soup at the right time, and the emperor almost immediately grabbed it and drank the whole cup.

After waving his hand to dismiss the Minister of Etiquette, the Emperor cleared his throat and said, "Come in..." before his voice came out completely, he suddenly turned around and asked the chief chamberlain, "Where is Yan'er?"

The head chamberlain bowed and said: "Prince Anbo is in the Imperial College. Today is the first day of autumn. According to the rules, the prince cannot come out of the Imperial College until the end of today's assessment."

The emperor rubbed his hands, "What about the second child?"

"Your Highness is taking care of the funeral arrangements for the Crown Prince. He is at the Crown Prince's Mansion."

The emperor searched through all the princes in his mind, and for a while he couldn't find one who could hold up the scene at this time. Finally, a wave of evil fire jumped up, dispersing the nervousness about the unknown in his heart. He turned around and snorted coldly,

"Let them in."

The head chamberlain glanced at the emperor, sneered and took a step back.

That's all you've got.

With this evil spirit, he has occupied the throne for several years without achieving anything.

When it comes to abusing the young prince and the princess, you are the best among men, but apart from this, what else can you do!

Are you so nervous when meeting Prince Duankang?

The more contempt the chamberlain felt in his heart, the more unwilling he felt for the late prince.

As his thoughts raced, the door to the imperial study room was pushed open from the outside. Lu Pingshan's biological sister, whom the late emperor had requested and was instead granted the title of Princess Yunyang, was now over fifty. Lu Yun was supported by King Duankang from the outside.

Stagger in.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty in Qingyang, Your Majesty is in good health."

"I pay homage to your Majesty. Your Majesty is in good health."

Lu Yun and Prince Duankang both knelt in front of the desk in the royal study. The emperor looked at the white-haired old lady in front of him, with appropriate concern on his face, "Sister Huang, there is no need to pay such a big gift. Get up quickly and give me a seat."

"

King Duankang helped Lu Yun stand up slowly. Lu Yun sat down on the chair brought by the chamberlain. Her eyes were red and tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "It's been thirty years since Qingyang left the capital.

It’s been a year, and I’m finally back. Qingyang thanks His Majesty for your grace.”

The emperor leaned back on his chair and said, "Sister Huang, you have been working hard all the way. I said you had a cold earlier, but are you okay now?"

Tears welled up in Lu Yun's eyes instantly. She helped Prince Duankang stand up next to her, then knelt down again. She cried and said: "Your Majesty, Qingyang didn't catch the cold, but was poisoned and almost died. Your Majesty gave Qingyang

Yang is in charge."

The emperor was stunned, "Poison?"

King Duankang also knelt down again.

"I and my mother were ordered to go to the capital with the whole family, but when they walked to Fujiang City in Yuhang, they were suddenly ambushed. Fortunately, I came out from Liuzhou with a lot of guards and managed to escape.

But when they arrived in Shanxi, they were poisoned again.

Chen's mother is old and was injured by the poison, so her arrival in Beijing was delayed."

The emperor's face became solemn when he heard this, "Since you encountered this, why didn't you say anything at the time, just that you were infected with the cold?"

Prince Duankang said: "At that time, I heard that the concubine of Prince Yu Xiao in Kyoto was attacked by someone. The man claimed to be assigned by Prince Duankang's palace. After hearing the news, I was very worried and uneasy, lest I cause trouble, so I

Don’t dare to say anything.”

The emperor snorted angrily, "But do you know who is responsible?"

King Duankang shook his head tremblingly, "I don't know. I am ignorant. I only received the favor of the late emperor and His Majesty to be crowned king and minister. However, I am ashamed that I really have no talent or ability..."

As he spoke, King Duankang suddenly kowtowed three times to the ground.
