After the rebirth

Chapter 60 060 Palace Banquet (1)

"Mother, I haven't seen you for many years. Your face is still the same. I... feel very relieved." Looking at the mother who is almost the same age as the old lady of the Hua family but much younger, the emperor is indeed full of complicated feelings at this moment.

Back then when she chose to sacrifice herself to fulfill the imperial brother born by his mother, his heart was really chilled!

He was appointed as the crown prince by the former emperor, but her biological mother was so eccentric, if not for the protection of the Hua family and the courtiers, he almost wanted to give up, and followed her wish to go with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you must hope that Ai's family will die in the imperial mausoleum?" The queen mother was elegant, dignified, and soft in tone, but there was no kindness in the content.

"Mother, it has been 18 years, and it seems that you still haven't changed." The emperor sighed.

She went back to the palace for a few days and avoided seeing her all the time. Today, she received a note from Hua Shaoyun, she wanted to see her, so why didn't he think too much about it?

"I don't know about the palace banquet, how is the emperor preparing?" The queen mother didn't care about the emperor, and continued to ask with a smile.

"The preparations have been made, the queen mother doesn't have to worry." The emperor tried his best to suppress the complicated feelings in his heart, and said in a low voice.

"Really?" A trace of strangeness flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, "I hope it is as the emperor said."

"Your Majesty is busy with everything, so let's get busy!"

"Okay." The emperor nodded and saluted, "The mother's journey is hard, so let's rest more!"

"Heh!" After leaving the Empress Dowager's Qinghe Palace, the emperor sneered, "Even if Shaoyun doesn't hand over the booklet, I won't just let you get your way!"

"Why do you come back, do you really think I don't know?" Closing his eyes, the emperor raised his head and let out a long sigh.

It was not easy to get rid of the Cheng family, but now there was another resistance, and the emperor felt so depressed that he wanted to get angry.

"Master, you should go back to the bedroom to rest!" Wu Fu stepped forward to carefully support the emperor, and said in a low voice worried.

"En." The emperor took a breath, answered, and let Wu Fu support him to go back.

Two days later, at the mid-year ceremony, the emperor participated in the ceremony with the queen mother and empress, and prayed to God to protect the Fengjin Dynasty.

The courtiers finally got to see the graceful Empress Dowager, Hua Shaoyun couldn't help but secretly gasped as he looked at her, and a little bit of coldness came out of his heart.

He remembered that the emperor was three years older than himself, and the empress dowager was a few years older than his mother, but it seemed that his mother was older.

Returning to the imperial city in the evening, thinking of the palace banquet tonight, Hua Shaoyun's heart sank again.

Although my wife won't come, my mother has to bring her bastard.

He suddenly had a feeling that that bastard probably had a bad idea. Some people's goal is not their wife, but...

"Father, what are you thinking?" Hua Yanbai, who appeared out of nowhere, approached his father's father and whispered.

"Yan Bai, why don't you stay in the mansion tonight!" Hua Shaoyun took a deep breath, turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice.

"Father, it's all right, I've made all the arrangements!" Hua Yan bai raised his eyebrows and smiled silently, baring his teeth.

It's rare, but this time my Tai Fu father thought a little more.

"That's good." Hua Shaoyun nodded, but did not feel relieved.

"People are going to the palace one after another, it seems that the empress dowager really can't wait!" Hua Yanbai sneered in a low voice.

"Can't wait for what?" Hua Shaoyun didn't understand what she was referring to for a moment.
"I'm in a hurry to let everyone see her, know her, and respect her." Hua Yan's white eyes turned cold.

"Master, Mrs. Hua left Mrs. Hua alone in the mansion. It is estimated that Hua's mansion will go to the iron bucket tonight." Ji Lin saw that his master's eyes fell on someone again, and said.

"Do you want to remind Mr. Hua to be more careful tonight?"

"No need!" The fourth prince withdrew his gaze. He felt that something was wrong with the person not far away, but he believed that the guy would make arrangements properly, and he could take care of him in the palace.

Washington, maybe Ji Lin is right!
"Yan Bai, I'm a little worried." Madam Hua looked at the people beside her during dinner in Washington, bit her lips, and said in a low voice.

"Your grandmother and your father shouldn't be in the same hall, and your father doesn't know martial arts yet."

"Mother, you don't believe me?" Hua Yanbai swallowed what was in his mouth, pursed his mouth, "I have discussed it with my grandmother!"

"And I'm with dad, many people have seen it!"

"Are you looking for someone to impersonate you?" Mrs. Hua was startled, she thought she really wasn't going!

"Mother, eat with peace of mind, my brother is hungry!" Pushing the bowl in front of Wenrou's mother, Hua Yanbai softly coaxed him.

"Okay!" Madam Hua agreed with a sigh.

The sky was getting dark, but the two main halls of the banquet in the palace were very lively.

Naturally, the emperor was the head of the male guests, and the empress dowager was the first to sit upright on the female guest's side. This made the queen, who had always been firmly seated at the top, feel a little bit of resentment.

In particular, no matter how you looked at it, the empress dowager was better than herself, which made her even more resentful.

"No drinking tonight." Hua Shaoyun looked at the people around him and said in a low voice.

"Understood, Dad!" The answer was very serious, making Hua Shaoyun a little suspicious.

"Is your grandmother all right?" Hua Shaoyun looked at the emperor who was talking and laughing happily with the courtiers, and asked hesitantly.

"Of course." Hua Yanbai responded even more simply.

The fourth prince, who was sitting diagonally across from them, glanced at them, feeling somewhat certain in his heart.

This person should be that guy's stand-in, otherwise he wouldn't have never looked at himself.

"Madam Hua." After drinking for three rounds, the empress dowager spoke.

"Empress Dowager, my wife is here." Mrs. Hua stood up, saluted, and answered.

"Why don't you see your daughter-in-law? I heard that Hui Zhi Lan Xin is virtuous and virtuous!" The Queen Mother laughed.

All the wives present and the courtiers' family members listened to the conversation of these two with complex expressions.

"The empress dowager was joking." Mrs. Hua blessed the God of Fortune, and returned naturally, "The daughter-in-law found out that she is/is pregnant. The time is short. The doctor said that she is weak and needs to be recuperated."

"Under the empress dowager's holy face, she may be too nervous, and it will be her fault for disturbing the empress's interest."

"So Zuo invited the emperor to pay homage to the empress dowager when she gets better."

"Oh, that's right, that's really congratulations!" The Queen Mother didn't see any displeasure.

"The Hua family has been single-handed down for several generations, and now the eldest son is very outstanding. This adds to the joy. The Ai family and everyone should congratulate together."

As soon as the queen mother said this, everyone followed and congratulated with a smile, but in this case, Mrs. Hua couldn't hear it, and few of them really meant it.

Moreover, when the Empress Dowager mentioned her Yan Bai Baobao, her tone was quite strange, and it seemed that Yan Bai would not be worse than expected.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, and all the ladies." Mrs. Hua replied with a smile, and then sat down slowly.

The queen mother called the names directly. To be honest, she was a little surprised. In all these years, she has never been as tired as she was just now.
