Chapter 83 The Princess Usurped the Throne 13
The process of the banquet was to first present gifts to the emperor in the main hall, then the emperor accepted the blessings of the court officials, offered sacrifices to the ancestors and gods, and finally shared the banquet with all the people.
Jiang Yuan sat at the lower right of the little emperor, and the empress dowager at the lower left.
The Queen Mother took out a pair of blue jade luminous pearls and had her maid hold them for the court officials to look at in turn before presenting them to the emperor.
"This is a blue jade night-shining pearl, made of a blue chalcedony heart, which can emit a long blue light at night. There is no other night-shining pearl in the world that is so large and round. I present this to the emperor, hoping that he will be successful and blessed for generations to come."
There was a whisper from below:
"The gift that the Queen Mother brought out is really valuable. This is really causing trouble for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"That's right. If the gift the princess brings out is inferior to this treasure, she will definitely be laughed at."
"I heard that the princess went south. I wonder if she found a treasure comparable to this night-shining pearl."
Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Jiang Yuan remained calm and made a gesture to Chuxue, the maid beside him.
Chu Xue walked forward pushing a large box half a person's height.
Jiang Yuan stood up and said, "Open it."
Chu Xue lifted the red silk cloth, revealing the original appearance of the box. She took two servants who had carried the box and the gifts with her to let the box be publicly appreciated.
The ministers all looked different, as if they were shocked or terrified. The effect was much better than that of the blue jade night-shining pearl just now. There was no trace of pretending to know something.
The Queen Mother gripped the armrest tightly. How could it be possible? Could she really have some rare treasure? She must have bad intentions.
About a century passed before the team displaying the treasures returned to the platform.
The Queen Mother looked inside and lost her temper, knocking over the tea bowl: "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to fool us with a bunch of junk? You have no royal bearing at all!"
Jiang Yuan stood below her, looking up at her without any servility. She raised her head high: "The gifts I want to present are some of the most precious things I think. This pair of broken straw sandals were abandoned by the farmers who built the high platform; this piece of rag was the last clothing of a girl who died unjustly when I met her when I went south; and this broken sword was the weapon of an ordinary city guard in the north..."
"These are what I consider to be precious things. The Queen Mother's Night Pearls are certainly priceless, but I really can't take out these precious things, so I have to show off my ugliness."
The little emperor's expression was also very interesting, but he knew how to be patient. In this respect, a child did better than the empress dowager: "Thank you, aunt, these are indeed precious enough. I will definitely keep them well!"
Jiang Yuan smiled and replied: "It would be great if Your Majesty could understand the preciousness of this gift."
The little emperor's face twitched.
Jiang Yuan was quite curious to see such an "adult" expression on a child's face.
What a precocious person.
After what she did, everyone couldn't eat anymore when facing the people who were invited to attend.
In fact, this was a very bad idea in the first place. Even if they were carefully selected, only wealthy people would attend, and the contrast between the clothes worn by officials and civilians would be particularly obvious.
It is called grace, but in fact it is a foil.
Look, I am so high up and I am willing to reward you with a meal.
Jiang Yuan didn't even pick up the chopsticks from beginning to end. She was testing the pressure, for the court officials and also for the emperor.
The little emperor didn't want anything to go wrong on his birthday, so everything could be put off until tomorrow. With only a princess around him and no real power, why should he be afraid?
Thinking of this, he softened his attitude towards Jiang Yuan: "Aunt, do you think the food is not to your liking? I can ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some lighter meals for you."
"No need. I'm just a little worried because none of the workers who actually built this place have come. That's why I can't eat."
"Those people have worked hard for many days. I will let them go back and rest. Aunt, don't worry."
……
I don't know when the silence fell below, but the atmosphere of impending storm always makes people feel uneasy.
An old minister could not bear it any longer and resigned: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Today, I am feeling a little unwell and I am afraid that I will not be able to enjoy the delicious food and wine. I will take my leave first."
One or two, no one is afraid of him! Bold and tolerant! He is the emperor!
He slapped the table, showing the power of an emperor, and angrily said in a sharp voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female: "How dare you! What do you mean by hosting my banquet, Mr. Hu?"
Before he could finish, a knife flew towards him.
It wiped his face and left a string of blood beads.
Then the situation got out of control.
Neither side wanted to hurt innocent people, and the people did not start running around when they saw this situation. Instead, they provided a lot of convenience to Jiang Yuan and his group.
The commander of the imperial guards suspected that it was Jiang Yuan who did it, and he tried his best to stop her and ordered her men to stop. However, Jiang Yuan, a weak woman, actually had great martial arts skills, and he failed and was injured by her instead.
"I'm sorry, please take a nap first."
Then his vision became blurry...
Xuan Li easily captured the little emperor and killed him in front of everyone.
Jiang then raised his knife and killed the Queen Mother himself.
The overall situation has been decided.
