The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 268 Qianqiu Banquet ([-])

Xingqing Palace is located in the east of the imperial capital, and it was the place where the kings of all dynasties carried out state affairs activities.

Since Jiang Nian ascended the throne, he has been quite popular among the people. The Qianqiu Festival was held in the Huaexianghui Building of Xingqing Palace, and there were bustling streets and alleys just across the wall.When night falls, the emperor and his husband will go upstairs to watch the fireworks. The common people just need to stand in the street and look up to see the king upstairs. The king and the people enjoy together.

Because the government and the people can enjoy together today, the officials are free to walk around and greet each other. At this time, the most attention-grabbing person is King Kangyu's heir Ning Ziyi.

Although Ning Ziyi was entering the imperial capital for the first time, many of the high-ranking officials in the court had experience of being released. Those officials who had experienced in the south of the Yangtze River were no strangers to King Kangyu.For a long time, the royal family has been jealous of King Kangyu, and other officials in the court are also full of curiosity about this prince.

Ning Ziyi walked among the courtiers calmly, was personable, talked and laughed happily, and immediately gained a lot of praise.Of course, his eldest concubine received more attention than Ning Ziyi, and regardless of Shi Wanyao's arrogant expression, her high belly alone gave her the capital to be arrogant.

The poison case last winter was still fresh in the government and the public. The empress's childhood sweetheart turned out to be Prince Beiqi, and it was a spy who had been lurking in Daxing for many years.Before these things were uncovered, there was news that the empress was pregnant, but the government and the public had no time to celebrate the successor of Jiangshan Sheji, and the news that the empress was drugged and miscarriage came one after another, and all the clues pointed to the emperor's husband.Although it was later found out that An Chen was responsible for everything, and the empress was not pregnant, the hopes of the ruling and opposition parties for the succession of the ancestral temple were ultimately dashed.

After all the dust settled, the imperial husband was seriously injured in the parade on Yuquan Mountain, and he has not recovered from his injuries so far.It has been a year since the empress and her husband got married, but there has been no good news.Thinking about how many twists and turns this couple with the most respected status in the world has experienced this year, it is really difficult for the children of the royal family.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Shi Wanyao caressed her belly, her face even more smug.

Therefore, when exchanging greetings with Ning Ziyi, many people would congratulate him, and Ning Ziyi always responded with a modest smile.

At this moment, all civil and military officials have been in place one after another, but the throne is still empty.

Many people thought of the news that the imperial husband's old illness had relapsed yesterday, and His Majesty quit court because of it.At this moment, the two people in the palace have not yet arrived, so people can't help but guess what happened.

Seeing that it was almost time to start the banquet, Xiao Jingtian frowned and walked in front of Yan Qingchi, and lowered his voice, "What's going on?"

Qingchi glanced helplessly at Lu Ji who was talking happily with his father, spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."

Everyone knew that the Empress had a deep friendship with her, and the officials who had just sent to inquire, Xiao Jingtian came again.

She was more or less aware of Jiang Nian's injuries, so she didn't think too much about the news that came out yesterday. Now she also sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to find out.

At this moment, Ning Ziyi walked towards Xiao Jingtian, and said with a smile, "Ziyi has admired General Xiao's name for a long time, and it is my destiny to meet you today. The general is indeed very heroic!"

Xiao Jingtian had always been impatient with such politeness, and he was worried about other things in his heart, so he said coldly: "Your Majesty, I have met you, I will excuse you first."

After speaking, he strode away.

Ning Ziyi was not angry at being shaken like this, and looked at Qingchi with a smile, "When Ziyi was in the south of the Yangtze River, he had heard of Lord Qing's name, Lord Qing is such a beautiful woman, and he was the first one in my dynasty to win three yuan in a row. Zi Yi admires the female Jinshi!"

Qingchi smiled sweetly, "Young Master Yi is over the award, and Qingchi also congratulates Young Master Yi for becoming a father."

The implication is that you, Ning Ziyi, have nothing worthy of praise except that you have a pregnant concubine who shows off everywhere.The day before yesterday, Shi Wanyao made a fuss in the imperial garden, but was "invited" out of the palace by the female officials in the palace. Qingchi also heard about it, and he has long been insensitive to the couple in his heart.

"Master Qing is so talented and has a bright future. I don't know that young master will be blessed to marry Master Qing in the future. Speaking of it, it seems that Master Qing and Zhuojing are the same age..." Ning Ziyi continued to smile and said There was a pause on purpose here, "However, Your Majesty and Lord Qing have a deep friendship. In the future, Lord Qing will definitely point out a good marriage, and Lord Qing need not worry too much."

Do you want to say that she is so powerful that no one will want her in the future?Qingchi was speechless, she didn't appear to be worried about life-long events.Moreover……

Thinking of the white jade swan that he was wearing next to him, Qingchi finally just smiled faintly, "Young Master, you should worry about yourself."

After finishing speaking, she raised her chin in a certain direction, and Ning Ziyi looked along, only to see Shi Wanyao staring at her with an ugly expression.

Qingchi said again: "The pregnant woman can't be angry, be careful to hurt the fetus, after all, this is the eldest son of the eldest son!"

When seeing Shi Wanyao's maid walking towards him, the smile on Ning Ziyi's face finally couldn't hold back, "Thank you, Lord Qing, for your kindness!"

After sending Ning Ziyi away, Qingchi was in a good mood, but when she saw the empty throne, she became worried again.

All the officials also looked towards the door frequently, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder.

"What's going on, why haven't His Majesty and the imperial husband come yet?"

"Could it be that the imperial husband's injury is different?"

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help looking at Jiang Qixi, who was drinking tea calmly, and the people who tried to ask him for news just now were all blocked back.

Xu Zhi was standing beside Jiang Qixi at the moment, "Mr. Jiang Ge is very calm, but it will be time for the Qianqiu Banquet to start in a moment, can you still sit still?"

Although Jiang Qixi no longer intervenes in political affairs, seeing that he is still occupying the position of Chief Assistant, and Jiang Nian is suppressing Xu's family everywhere, Xu Zhi feels suffocated.

Jiang Qixi glanced at him, "Why can't you sit still? As a courtier, you should obey your wishes, but Xu Cifu can't wait?"

His words completely put himself in the position of a courtier, the emperor can do whatever he wants, even if he is late, he still has to wait.

Xu Zhi's face changed slightly, "How come, Jiang Ge is overthinking."

Just as everyone was discussing, the voice of the eunuch's ceremonies outside the building finally came——

"His Royal Highness is here!"

But after the sound of singing and reporting fell, there was no follow-up sound, and everyone couldn't help showing strange expressions. Why did only the emperor's wife be notified?
Amidst the confusion, a blue palace robe came in from outside the building.

"See Your Royal Highness, thousand years old!"

All the officials knelt down and could only see the hem of the robe embroidered on Haichao Cangya passing in front of their eyes, the breeze brought by their steady steps, and the invisible coercion made people dare not breathe.

"Flat body."

A clear and pleasant voice came from the audience, the officials stood up and entered the table, and when they looked up, the imperial seat was still empty.

The person sitting upright has black hair tied up with a golden crown, sword eyebrows and star eyes, plump lips and high nose, and a handsome face, just like an exile.

The gown is the color of green bamboo, embroidered with gold thread into a phoenix pattern, and surrounded by auspicious clouds, adding an awe-inspiring and dignified atmosphere to the whole gown.

After a short period of shock, everyone's doubts deepened. Didn't the imperial husband's old illness relapse?If you want to come, it should be His Majesty, how come the emperor's husband?
This Qianqiu Festival is specially organized by His Majesty for the birthday of the imperial husband, what is going on if His Majesty is absent?

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, Ning Ziyi stood up and said, "Your Highness, why don't you see Your Majesty?"

Jiang Nian's lips were pursed into a line, and his hands under the cover of the sleeve robe were tightly clenched into fists.Ning Yuezhao didn't know when he would wake up, how to get over this matter, he kept thinking on the way here.

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Nian said in a deep voice, but before he could finish speaking, he heard another singing from outside the door——

"The Emperor is here!"

　Sorry everyone again.
