Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. The old man has a deep friendship with King Yan, so he naturally wants to ask for a glass of water and wine."

King Han laughed and took out a string of extraordinary dzi beads from the gift box.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this, with incredible looks in their eyes.

"Oh my God, isn't this the ten-eyed dzi bead that the Supreme Emperor gave to the new King of Han when he ascended the throne?"

"It is said that anyone who wears this item can be protected by the Seven Buddhas and Eight Bodhisattvas. Wu Chengsi even offered a sky-high price of three thousand taels of gold for this."

"I didn't expect that King Han would give it to the little princess of the Fan family."

Princess Taiping was well-informed and had obviously heard about the preciousness of the Ten-Eyed Dzi Beads, so she immediately declined.

"King Han, please take it back quickly. My daughter is just a royal daughter. How can she deserve your great gift?"

A hint of sadness flashed in King Han's eyes, but it quickly passed away and he smiled.

"Take it, a mere string of ten-eyed dzi beads is nothing compared to the great achievements made by King Yan."

Seeing that she couldn't push it away, Princess Taiping had no choice but to give a gift and order someone to accept the gift.

After the King of Han, Shangguan Wan'er arrived in a plain dress.

"It turns out it was Miss Shangguan who arrived, but I haven't seen her for a while."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled as she looked at Princess Taiping a little.

"Some time ago, Wei Chen felt unwell and went home to recuperate for half a year. Today, when I saw His Highness, his appearance remained the same."

As he spoke, he took off a simple sign from his neck, with the word "福" vaguely engraved on it.

"This is a natal amulet given to me by Weichen's mother when she was a child. Later, her mother carved the word "福" on it."

"Now Wei Chen gives her to the little princess, hoping to bless her with a long life."

As soon as this object came out, a strange look suddenly flashed in the eyes of the princes and ministers present.

It seems a little weird that Shangguan Wan'er took out the amulet on such an occasion. The two of them probably don't have any friendship, right?

Princess Taiping took a deep look at Shangguan Wan'er and said gratefully.

"I would like to thank Miss Shangguan for your kindness on behalf of my little daughter. When King Yan comes back, my husband and I will go to the house to express our gratitude in person."

Looking at the happy woman in front of her, Shangguan Wan'er suppressed the jealousy in her heart and nodded.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came.

"Even this girl Shangguan gave such an expensive gift. As Qian Yi's grandmother, how can I be so gentle?"

The crowd parted, and Wu Zetian walked in with the support of Manager Geng.

Behind him, several guards carried a huge painting. The content on it was exactly what Wu Zetian had originally inscribed by himself: serve the country with loyalty.

"My dearest minister, I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Everyone, get up. Today is Xiao Qianyi's birthday party, so there is no need to pay homage."

Wu Zetian seemed to be in a very good mood, and even her face turned rosy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone stood up, Princess Taiping stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Wu Zetian's left arm.

"Mother, how dare Qian Yi trouble you to come to the banquet? If the consort knew about it, he would say that he did not know the etiquette."

Wu Zetian laughed and waved her hands.

"Don't worry about Fan Xin, he can't change the world as long as I'm here!"

"Let's go see Xiao Qianyi!"

Wu Zetian didn't even look at the guests greeting her around, and walked towards the room.

Compared with the officials who have their own concerns, she prefers the pink and tender Xiao Qianyi.

The nanny was sitting on the bed feeding Fan Qianyi when she suddenly saw the Supreme Emperor coming in and quickly stood up to salute.

"This slave is here to see His Majesty the Supreme Emperor!"

"You must be King Jin's wet nurse, I've seen you before."

After looking at the nanny for a while, Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right. His face is full of milk. He looks like a lucky person at first glance. Manager Geng, reward him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Manager Geng bowed and took out a jade Ruyi from the gift box and handed it to the nanny.

"This is the hundred treasures that Turks presented to His Majesty back then. With it, everything you do will go smoothly. Keep it."

Princess Taiping quickly reminded.

"Ms. Zhou, this is a royal treasure, why don't you thank your mother quickly?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The wet nurse bowed and gave a salute.

"Get up." Wu Zetian laughed, looking at Fan Qianyi who was kicking her legs randomly on the bed, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

"Hey, whose doll is so beautiful? Come here, Grandma Huang, give it a hug."

"what!"

The little guy didn't recognize life at all. He lay in Wu Zetian's arms and stared at the old lady in front of him with clear big eyes without blinking.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Fan family and Shangguan Wan'er all smiled knowingly.

Just as the girls were enjoying this rare time, Fan An ran in panting.

"The Supreme Emperor, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty, the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, as well as the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all here!"

"Hurry up and pick up the driver!"

"What! Your Majesty is here with all the civil and military personnel of the court?"

This surprise was no small matter, and a flash of panic flashed across Princess Taiping's expression.

You must know that this New Year's Eve banquet is just a family banquet held by the Fan family.

It stands to reason that it would be a great honor to have some old ministers who are not at the center of the imperial court.

Princess Taiping never dreamed that the emperor would come to the banquet with all the civil and military officials of the court.

This has never happened before in history.

Not only was she unable to figure it out, but Shangguan Wan'er, known as the heroine prime minister, was also unable to figure it out.

He looked at Wu Zetian with a puzzled look.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand that this is just an ordinary family banquet. Why is Your Majesty Li Xian bringing Princess Anle and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty here for?"

"Could it be that Fan Xin made immortal military exploits on the front line?"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian said calmly while teasing Xiao Qianyi.

"No matter what happens, it is against common sense. Since ancient times, a king has been a king, and ministers have been ministers. No matter how good the personal relationship between the two is, the emperor will only come to the house in casual clothes at most."

"There is only one situation for leading civil and military officials to visit with such great fanfare, and that is..."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian's heart skipped a beat, her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes revealed endless fear.

There is only one possibility for the emperor to come to visit with all his civil and military officials, and that is to pay homage to the deceased minister! Not a celebration for the kids at all!

"Your Majesty, what is the other situation? Please tell me!"

While the girls were listening curiously, the Emperor suddenly became silent, which made them very anxious.

"There is another situation where the minister has made immortal achievements, don't you think so, Your Majesty?"

At the critical moment, Manager Geng stood up and looked at Wu Zetian.

"Ah, yes, Fan Aiqing must have made great contributions on the front line, and the emperor personally came to reward him."

Suppressing the chaos in her heart, Wu Zetian forced a smile and said.

"So that's it." Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Wu Zetian.

"Mother, please sit here for a while while I go to greet the imperial brother and the princes of the court."
