The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 80 Benefits
Hearing Xie Xi's harsh words, Lin Zisu said angrily, "What a good friend! My grandfather has always kept himself clean and has been working outside, how could he have anything to do with the eldest princess?"

Seeing Lin Zisu, Xie Xi didn't believe what he meant, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and told Lin Zisu in detail what he had inquired about in the past.

The late Emperor was obsessed with elegance and longed for the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. After more than ten years in office, he went to the south of the Yangtze River nine times overtly, and the number of times he went secretly was countless.

Princess Yong'an was the eldest daughter of the late emperor, so naturally she often traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with the late emperor.On the way to play, there was a heavy rain, and Bi Suinan was going to Nankang City for the exam.

After some tribulations, Princess Yong'an fell in love with Bi Suinan very much, but Bi Suinan didn't know it.He only thought that Princess Yong'an was an official lady in Beijing, and after delivering Princess Yong'an safely to the provincial capital, she left immediately.

Later, Princess Yong'an sent many people to investigate, but they got news of Bi Suinan.Hearing that he passed the Juren examination in the south of the Yangtze River, he was full of joy and waited wholeheartedly for Bi Suinan to go to Beijing.

In the examination that year, Princess Yong'an waited until Bi Suinan, but Bi Suinan had no intention of doing so, especially when Bi Suinan heard of Yong'an's identity, he was very resistant.

The young and energetic Bi Suinan wanted to make contributions, but according to the historical rules of the Dayan Dynasty, Princess Shang could only do some idle work, which was obviously unacceptable to the passionate Bi Suinan back then.

After the Princess Yong'an was declined, because of love and hatred, she took advantage of the late emperor's favor and forced the officials to send Bi Suinanwai to a mountain county in Huainan.

Knowing that he had offended the princess, Bi Suinan sealed up his blood, and became a hard-working parent official, quite famous in the local area.

However, due to the suppression of Princess Yong'an, Bi Suinan had served as a county magistrate in Huainan Province for more than ten years.

It wasn't until the 11th year of Zhengxing that Bi Suinan was rated as excellent by the chief envoy for his meritorious service in expelling the Huainan epidemic. Then he entered the emperor's sight and was promoted all the way, and he just arrived at the position of Qingyang Mansion.

Xie Xi mentioned the past of Princess Yong'an, as if talking about a romantic affair.

Lin Zisu really couldn't stand his frivolous tone, suppressed her displeasure, and when he finished speaking, she immediately rolled her eyes at him, and said, "How can that be my grandfather too, can't you be more polite?"

Xie Xi laughed, and said: "Susu, you are making things difficult for me. Ever since I was born, I don't know what politeness is."

Lin Zisu was worried that Xu Wentao was a fierce and domineering person, and he would definitely not let it go.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xi found another way, and he didn't know where to inquire about such old things, but it blocked Xu Wentao's way out.

Bi Suinan is his grandfather, and since Princess Yong'an has such a relationship with his grandfather, no matter what, Xu Wentao will not pester him anymore.

Thinking of this, Lin Zisu felt relieved, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

Seeing this subtle expression, Xie Xi salivated and said with a smile: "Susu, I have done such a big thing for you, how can you thank me?"

Lin Zisu spat at him and said, "You asked me to help you with something, and I haven't asked you for a reward yet, do you have the nerve to ask me for a gift?"

Xie Xi sighed, and said: "I knew that, after all, I won't get any good from you."

After being reminded by Lin Zisu, Xie Xi remembered his business.He had just gone to the main hall where the congratulatory gifts were stored, and he wanted not to alarm others, but he was stopped by Xu Wentao first, and then Lin Zisu, who was so focused on talking that he completely forgot about the business.

Xie Xi pointed to his sleeve, and said: "I have already got the elixir, you can't take it out of the palace, and I will deliver it to your house at night."

Hearing that Xie Xi was coming to her home again, the corner of Lin Zisu's mouth twitched, but she still nodded reluctantly.Xie Xi said again: "Your cousin, I saw her sneaking towards the east just now, do you want me to ask someone to watch?"

Lin Zisu returned to the Zhongji Hall as if nothing had happened. The banquet was about to start at the Huangji Hall. Qin Yajun hadn't turned around yet, and Bi was a little anxious. Seeing Lin Zisu, he hurriedly said, "Elder sister, Where have you been, can I see your cousin Yajun?"

Lin Zisu shook her head, and it was almost noon when Qin Yajun turned around.

Seeing that she changed her depressed expression in the past few days, her face was beaming, and she didn't know what she had experienced.Lin Zisu asked curiously: "Cousin, what kind of happy event did you encounter?"

Qin Yajun had just received the care of the third prince Xie Hui, at this time he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I just met a nobleman in the palace and got a few compliments, so I am very happy."

Lin Zisu knew that Qin Yajun's words were not true, but she didn't care too much about it. Xie Xi had her own way of inquiring, and said with a smile, "Cousin is very lucky."

The Longevity Banquet was held in the Huangji Hall. Officials above the fourth rank and their families hosted the banquet in the hall, while officials below the fourth rank held the banquet in the corridor outside the hall.

Although Uncle Conning's title is inconspicuous, it is still a title, and his position is higher than those of the envoys of the vassal states and tribes.

Because men and women came to sit separately at the banquet, Lin Zisu followed her mother to the side hall of the Emperor's Palace.

Lin Zisu originally wanted to see the location of his father and eldest brother, but he did not expect that the location of Changli Kingdom was next to Uncle Kang Ning.

The person sitting in that seat looked familiar, but it was Li Zongyan, the eldest prince of Changli Kingdom.

Li Zongyan had already sat down, when he saw a young girl looking at him, he took a few glances, and then remembered what happened in Linlang Pavilion.

He was extremely impressed with Lin Zisu, but he never expected that this pretty girl was also the daughter of a prince of the dynasty.

Due to the great defense of etiquette, Li Zongyan bowed his hands to Lin Zisu in vain, and Lin Zisu also symbolically blessed his body, which was regarded as a return of the gift.

The exchange of movements between the two was only a few breaths away, but this series of movements was still seen by interested people.

At noon, with the sound of whips outside the hall, all the officials inside and outside the hall stood up and raised their glasses to pay tribute to the emperor.

The emperor held up the wine glass in his hand, let out a long laugh, and said: "Lai Zu protects you, and all the ministers have worked so hard to achieve the prosperity of Dayan today. This glass of wine is to pray for the blessings of our country and the country of Dayan, so that the peace of the world will be eternal!"

The sound in the hall was like thunder, and the emperor drank three cups of wine one after another. Seeing all the civil and military officials talking and laughing, the emperor felt infinitely happy.

After all the officials finished toasting the Jiujue wine to the emperor, and the secretary of Jiaofang finished playing the music step by step, the Wanshou banquet came to an end.

However, the emperor didn't want to finish it. Regardless of the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he said: "Today, the whole world celebrates together. I will have fun with you all!"

The third prince Xie Hui saw that his father was in high spirits, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Father is celebrating his birthday today, why don't all the lords present express their feelings and jointly celebrate Father's birthday!"

The emperor immediately agreed to this suggestion. Seeing that everything was going according to his plan, Xie Hui was secretly delighted, and was about to tell the emperor about the next step, when someone stood up and said loudly: "My minister, Yang Xingyao, present a poem to my emperor." a!"
