Only Gu Nazhi could hear Cui Yao's words.

She was not afraid at all when Cui Yao threatened her. Instead, she smiled like a flower and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Cui."

She did not push Cui Yao away, "Why is Miss Cui's hair messed up!"

Gu Nazhi raised his hand to straighten the broken hair on her temples, and said in her ear in the same way: "Of course I can't compare to Miss Cui, who calls Miss Cui the best thing in the world."

With a gentle expression on her face, she continued: "I'm here to thank Miss Cui for the Tanzhou matter."

She said and tidied Cui Yao's collar thoughtfully, "Next time, remember to use a thicker powder so that it can cover up the stinky smell on your body."

This bitch actually knows that she ordered people to do what happened in Tanzhou!

Cui Yao was shocked inside, but she quickly calmed down. Even if this bitch knew that she did it, where was the evidence?

Who would believe her without evidence?

She also heard about something. This bitch actually found a wild man in Tanzhou.

Does Mr. Chief Assistant know?

Princess Anding and Mu Ci were completely unaware of the confrontation between them.

The weather was hot, so the banquet was held at the East Palace Waterside Pavilion, with mountains and water. The decoration was very exquisite, which showed that they had put a lot of thought into it.

After a few people stepped into the waterside pavilion, several eyes were cast on Gu Nanzhi.

One of them was Shen Zhui, who winked at Gu Nanzhi in an uninhibited way.

One of them was He Jinzhi. His eyes looked a little lonely. He glanced at her dreamingly, as if he was afraid that others would notice, and quickly looked away.

However, this scene still caught Xie Ni's eyes. His hand holding the tea cup stiffened slightly, and a meaningful smile flashed across his lips.

The maid who led the way led them to the table. As soon as Gu Nanzhi sat down, the Crown Princess's personal maid came to look for her. She only said that the incense she gave to the Crown Princess last time was very useful and the Crown Princess thought it was very useful and asked her to send some more.

Gu Nazhi naturally remembered the transaction with the Crown Princess.

Cui Yao was far away and didn't hear clearly what the maid said, but she recognized that it was the Crown Princess's maid. Her eyes were red with jealousy, but thinking that the bitch would soon lose her pride, she pursed her lips and smiled. got up.

Xie Ni naturally saw it too, thinking that Linglong and Yueying Guard were protecting her secretly. Although this was the East Palace, there were many people there, so he calmly withdrew his gaze.

Gu Nanzhi came back soon. The Crown Princess sent someone to invite her over. As usual, she asked her to check the bedroom, her clothes, and daily necessities. This time, no abnormality was found. After what happened last time, , the Crown Princess especially trusted her.

Cui Yao had been paying attention to Xie Ni's every move. When Gu Nanzhi left, the maid next to her also left for a while. Seeing that Gu Nanzhi came back and Xie Ni had no special expression on his face, she felt better. Some.

As soon as the guests arrive, the party begins.

All the princes were present.

After recuperating for so many days, the prince's injuries have recovered. Following the eunuch's singing, he came dressed in bright yellow robes and a golden crown, carrying the prince's wife.

The Crown Princess's abdomen was obviously swollen. She was dressed in a bright red palace dress and appeared gracefully in front of everyone. She looked like she was singing in harmony with the Crown Prince.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince, Crown Princess!" Everyone stood up and saluted. The third prince, the fifth prince, and several other princes were naturally among them.

Seeing that the third child, who was favored by his father these days, still had to pay tribute to him as the prince, the gloom in his heart dissipated a lot. He is the legitimate son of the middle palace, and he is the legitimate one. No one can replace him.

"Excuse me." He sat condescendingly on the main seat, looking down at everyone, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

Everyone got up and sat down.

It's almost noon.

In previous years, whether it was the birthday of the prince or the princess, both the majesty and the queen would reward them with dishes to show their favor.

At this time in previous years, the dishes given by the emperor would have been served long ago. Seeing that at this time, there was still no movement in the palace, the prince looked unhappy, and even the princess could not help but feel a little uneasy.

Gu Nanzhi's father and brother also came.

The ministers all speculated, what happened in the palace this year?

Has His Majesty already disliked the prince so much?

The prince did not move his chopsticks, so everyone could only wait.

The third prince glanced at Mu Ci with a smile. Everyone thought he was smiling at his fiancée, but they didn't know that he was laughing at the prince. As a direct descendant of the middle palace, the prince looked down on concubines like them since he was a child, but he forgot One thing is that my father is not a direct descendant.

The prince waited patiently for a while. Fortunately, there were silk and bamboo formations and a dancing girl dancing gracefully, so it was not a dull moment.

Does your father really want to be so heartless?

The prince's eyes were full of evil, and he decided not to wait any longer.

"The queen has a reward." At that moment, the dishes the queen rewarded finally arrived.

The maids holding dishes were lined up in a row. Perhaps because the Crown Princess was pregnant this year, the Queen rewarded her with a total of eighteen dishes this year. You must know that in previous years when the Crown Princess was born, the Emperor and Empress combined would only reward eighteen dishes.

But the prince's expression did not ease at all, but became more and more gloomy.

There is naturally a distinction between emperors and empresses.

In previous years, His Majesty would reward the dishes first, followed by the Queen, but this year, the Queen comes first. Does Your Majesty not plan to reward the dishes this year?

The Crown Princess' face was visibly stiff. Seeing that the Crown Prince was sullen and silent, she secretly tugged at the Prince's sleeves. Only then did the Crown Prince react and stood up to thank her with the Crown Princess.

When he returned to the main seat, the prince first used his chopsticks, then picked up the wine bottle and invited everyone to drink together.

The atmosphere quickly heated up.

Some people are still speculating whether His Majesty is a little late in rewarding the dishes this year. The prince is the crown prince after all. Could it be that Your Majesty is not even willing to give the prince such dignity?

Everyone was almost full of wine and food, and they already knew it in their hearts before they even waited for His Majesty's reward.

Your Majesty will not reward you with dishes.

Xie Ni received the news early in the morning. His Majesty did not ask the imperial kitchen to prepare the dishes for the reward this year.

The queen was furious at the news.

"Your Majesty is really becoming more and more careless about face. How will others view the Crown Prince by doing this? How will the Crown Prince gain a foothold among the civil and military officials in the future? Isn't the Crown Princess giving birth to his grandson? This is tantamount to telling the world that he is right. The prince's dissatisfaction." She wanted to reward the prince with dishes again, but felt it was inappropriate. After thinking about it, she asked someone to go to the East Palace again and rewarded him with many things.

But no matter how much she doted on the prince, she could not make up for His Majesty's lack of favor.

Your Majesty is the king of a country, and she was originally comparable to him.

The civil and military officials had already made plans in their minds, and looking at the third prince, he was obviously much more enthusiastic.

Only the fifth prince was dumbfounded. After eating and drinking, he still felt unsatisfied. "It's a pity that we don't have the anchovy fins gifted by our father this year."

He was simply adding salt to the prince's wounds.

The prince glanced at him coldly when he heard this.

The fifth prince didn't even know where he was wrong. He looked innocent. It was just a dish, but the emperor didn't allow him to be greedy!

"Sister-in-law, please see if you like the birthday gift I gave you this year." Seeing this, Princess Zhaohe quickly gave the maid next to her a look. The Fifth Emperor Brother was really stupid.

Since it is a birthday banquet, birthday gifts naturally have to be given, and then everyone should also give their own congratulatory gifts.

Princess Showa's maid came forward holding a box.

Nanny Qin, who was next to the Crown Princess, immediately took it. Now that the Crown Princess was pregnant, she could not be careless at all. She opened the brocade box for routine inspection. After the inspection, she confirmed that there was no problem before she presented it to the Crown Princess.

Inside is a jade unicorn. The jade quality is excellent and it is carved from whole jade, which is very rare.

"Qilin sends a son, bringing good luck again and again. The imperial sister is here to wish the emperor's sister-in-law that all her wishes will come true and everything goes as she wishes." Princess Zhaohe is younger than Princess Zhaohua, but this one is the real heart with seven orifices. Look at this What he said instantly coaxed the princess into grinning from ear to ear.

This was the Crown Princess's first pregnancy, and what could make her happier than getting a boy at one stroke.

"Imperial sister is interested." Even the prince's eyebrows were filled with joy. As long as the prince's concubine could get a boy in this pregnancy, no one could shake his position.

Then everyone offered their congratulatory gifts.

At the birthday banquet of the Crown Princess, all the officials brought their families.

After several princesses, it was the turn of Princess Anding. What she gave to the Crown Princess were two jade handles, the meaning of which was no worse than Princess Showa's. Good things come in pairs and everything goes well.

Seeing that it was Gu Nanzhi's turn soon, Cui Yao twitched the corners of her lips and said, "Just wait!"The show is about to begin.

After saying a few auspicious words, Gu Nanzhi presented his congratulatory gift, which was a palm-sized brocade box that looked small and delicate.

After taking it, Nanny Qin checked it as usual.

There was no expression on her face the previous few times, but this time, her expression suddenly changed.

The prince saw it clearly, "Mother Qin, is there anything wrong with the birthday gift that the Lord of Huayang County presented to the Crown Princess?"
