Chapter 203 Birthday Banquet (Addition)
Zhu Yan pursed his lips and smiled charmingly: "Of course there are benefits. If you enter the palace as Prince Jing's concubine, you will be able to piss off a lot of young girls and become the most beautiful woman on the spot. Most importantly, you can still see the old lady at the time. Those who abandon you, make them regret what they did."
Yuan Qiu shook her head: "I don't care about any of this!" She yawned, her eyes hinting at constriction: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep, you can move all of these away!"
Zhu Yan became anxious, and grabbed her wrist: "Don't, don't, I say it's okay?"
He coughed angrily, and secretly thought that this woman was too smart, and he couldn't hide anything from her.
"I want to take this opportunity of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to make the Queen and Concubine Jiang stop trying to manipulate my marriage. At the same time, I want to announce to everyone that Zhuo Qinya is back. My fiancée is back again after twelve years." Arrived in the capital, returned to my side, and told the people in Zhuo Mansion that Zhuo Qinya is no longer Zhuo Qinya, her name is Xia Yuanqiu, and she only belongs to Zhu Yan's Xia Yuanqiu."
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. In fact, he did all this for her.
Since the empress and queen mother can recognize her appearance at a glance, so can others. Sooner or later her identity will be exposed. It is better to preemptively strike her because she is caught by others.
She looked into his eyes for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is it worth it?"
He didn't understand: "What?"
"Is it worth it for you to do so much for me?"
He reached out and pinched her lovely nose, and said with a smile: "I only do what I want to do, and never ask whether it's worth it or not."
She smiled slightly, her eyes were warm, she blinked her bright eyes, tilted her head and said: "Okay, I will be responsible to you just once, I don't care if it succeeds or not."
From the Baihua Palace, within seven days, the secret Tianyilou strongholds all over the country were uprooted by a mysterious force.
According to rumors in the world, all the high-level leaders of Tianyilou died tragically overnight. Judging from the wounds, some people speculated that the person who killed the high-level leaders of Tianyilou was the eighteen blood demons who had been extinct in the world for many years.
At the same time, various industries under the name of Liang Wang Zhu Sheng also suffered unprecedented disasters and suffered heavy losses.
King Liang gritted his teeth with hatred, knowing that Zhu Yan sent someone to do it, but he could only knock down his front teeth and swallow in his stomach. He provoked Zhu Yan first, and Zhu Yan was just fighting back.
He just didn't expect that Zhu Yan, who had always been famous only in battle, would even submit to such a big man as Shiba Xuesha, and even had a deep foundation in the business market, which he never dreamed of.
In this battle, he lost, and he lost badly.
But he has never been a person who resigns himself to fate, he will get up wherever he falls.
On the ninth day of March, spring is already deep, and the night wind is slightly warm.
Today is the Empress Dowager's 70th birthday. Compared with previous years' birthdays, the arrangements are more luxurious, and more people are invited than in previous years.
Ministers of the third grade or above can bring their family members into the palace by decree.
This is a rare opportunity, if you have a son or a daughter waiting to be married, don't hurry to show it, and all of them are dressed in beautiful clothes, which is a grand scene of a hundred flowers blooming.
Originally, there were separate banquets for men and women. After meeting and greeting each other, the female relatives should hold another banquet in the harem.
But the emperor said that for the sake of excitement, he didn't like these things, and everyone sat together to have a good time.
So dozens of tables were set up in Wan'an Hall, and hundreds of tables were set up under the steps outside the hall.
Except for ministers of the first rank and dignitaries such as the princes and uncles of various mansions who can stay in the inner hall, the rest of the officials and family members of the second rank and below can only live outside the hall.
