The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Five days later, Xiao Qian, the king of Zhongshan, held a banquet in the palace to entertain all the ministers.

Xiao Qian has never married a wife and does not have many family members. In order to have fun, all the officials from the court, big and small, came to the palace.

He is now the emperor's favorite, and the popular fried chicken around Lu Zan naturally has many people fawning over him.

Therefore, on this day, the usually quiet Zhongshan Palace was particularly lively.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the palace was full of vehicles.

Near noon, the holy driver arrived unexpectedly.

Lu Zan came to the palace with Jing Shu.

As soon as the Holy Emperor arrived, the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion naturally became even more glorious.

Xiao Qian seemed not to have expected them to come, and immediately left the house and knelt to greet them, with a look of sincere fear on his face.

"We didn't expect that the emperor and the imperial concubine would come, so we were disappointed to welcome them from afar. I hope that the emperor and the imperial concubine will forgive me." He said respectfully after saluting.

"Ai Qing, your words are serious, please get back on your feet."

While talking, Lu Zan had already pulled Jing Shu's hand out of the sedan chair.

Xiao Qian quickly welcomed them into the mansion.

The officials, family members, guards, maids, servants, etc. inside and outside the palace were all kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone, get up."

When we arrived in the garden where the birthday banquet was being held today, Lu Zan said to everyone, "Today is King Zhongshan's 40th birthday. I am just bringing my concubine here to join in the fun. You can all do as you please. There is no need to be formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone quickly thanked and saluted, and then stood up one by one.

Afterwards, Lu Zan took Jing Shu and sat in a spacious pavilion facing the garden lake.

The servants in the mansion brought them tea, cakes, melons and fruits.

Lu Zan seemed impatient to ask Xiao Qian to stay here, and ordered him to continue entertaining other guests.

Xiao Qian always listened to what he said. When he heard this, he immediately retreated obediently, so that no one was seen for a long time.

Jing Shu sat there upright, looking around with curiosity on his face.

"What are Shu'er looking at?" Seeing that her eyes were restless, Lu Zan couldn't help but look around. He felt that although the garden of the palace was quite beautiful, it was still not as good as the imperial garden.

"I just haven't been out of the palace for a long time. I just looked around." Jingshu said perfunctorily.

It's not that she didn't want to say it.

It's just that there are so many people talking here, and there are some things that I can't say to him now. If someone else hears them, it will be troublesome.

At this time, suddenly there was a noise from a corner of the garden.

"So many people!"

Only a high-pitched male voice was heard.

Jingshu's ears were sharp and he heard it immediately. He immediately followed the sound and saw an old man about fifty or sixty years old with white hair and fat appearance.

The old man seemed to be a little delirious and excited, with an abnormal red light on his face. As soon as he saw where there were many people, he immediately moved towards the crowd and threw away a few children who were gathering to play with butterflies. The girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they quickly backed away.

The old man came over and said with a smile: "The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming. Queen Mother, please give me a hairpin for you!"

After saying that, he picked a flower, put it in his ear, and ran to the lakeside, looking in the mirror by the water, which made the group of little girls who were scared just now point at him and laugh.

It was at this moment that Xiao Qian seemed to have gotten the news and hurried over.

As soon as he saw this old man wandering in front of Lu Zan, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he quickly ordered someone to take him away.

This old man is already fat and somewhat tall.

At this time, he was very unwilling to be forcibly dragged away. After struggling for a long time, he was forcibly carried down by several strong guards like they were carrying a flying pig.

"The humble minister neglected his duty and shocked the emperor and the imperial concubine." Xiao Qian hurriedly went to Lu Zan to apologize.

"King of Zhongshan, who is this person? Why have I never seen him or heard of you talking about him?" Lu Zan asked casually.

"Back to the emperor, he is an old friend of Wei Chen's father. He has taken care of Wei Chen since he was a child. Since he has no relatives, Wei Chen takes him with him to take care of him. But when he gets old, he becomes a little confused. , I am confused because of my illness, and sometimes I will do some unbelievable things, which will make the emperor and the imperial concubine laugh." Xiao Qian replied in a respectful tone.

Jingshu immediately laughed when she heard his answer.

Just because she already recognized who this old man was.
