Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

"Everyone, please take your seats. I have not been feeling well lately, so I will not waste any more time. Just drink as much as you can. But don't leave the palace and say that you only ate until you were half full. If you spread the news, people all over the world will think that I am a stingy queen."

Everything the Queen said was very interesting, and the atmosphere in Fengluan Palace was lively.

Climbing up the stairs, the queen sat in the hall. There were many delicacies on the table, but she seemed to have no appetite when looking at the food. She then ordered the musicians and dancers to perform, and then watched with gusto.

Your Highness, Su Xuqing looked around and found that the Duke's family of three were quite far away from her. She immediately felt relieved and just focused on tasting the dishes.

I have to say, the food in the palace is really delicious. The steamed bear paws are soft and tasty. Su Xuqing almost swallowed her tongue.

Seeing how greedy she was, Shen Xuanheng smiled indulgently and gave her the bear paws in front of him.

The third prince was sitting on the opposite side of the aisle and glanced at Su Xuqing from a distance. This was the first time he saw her in person. Seeing that she was only concerned with eating and drinking and there was nothing special about her, he laughed coldly.

As the Queen's biological son, the eldest prince Xiao Yuheng naturally stayed by her side. Seeing that she had no appetite, he asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong with your body? What did the imperial physician say?"

The queen sighed and said calmly, "What else can I say? It's just that I'm middle-aged and my health is starting to decline, so I feel uncomfortable everywhere. You don't have to worry about me, just do your own thing."

As she spoke, the Queen turned her gaze and found Shen Xuanheng in the hall below.

"My son, have you come into contact with the Prince of Zhennan today?"

“Yes.”

The eldest prince said truthfully, "This man is estimated to be dying soon. He wants to continue the reputation of Zhen'an Palace as a loyal and good man, so he entered the court to serve as an official. Just now, I tried to test him, but he declined on the spot. His words and deeds showed that he did not want to participate in the fight for the throne."

A hint of dissatisfaction emerged in the queen's phoenix eyes.

"The emperor gave him face, but he dared to refuse. Let me punish him later."

Xiao Yuheng frowned, but didn't say anything.

"what."

The queen looked at Shen Xuanheng, and then deliberately raised her voice, "Isn't this the prince of Zhennan? I haven't seen you for many years. Why did you think of congratulating me on my birthday this year?"

Shen Xuanheng didn't expect the queen to actually talk to him, so he stood up and bowed, explaining, "Please forgive me, Queen, I have been recuperating at home these years, so I didn't come to celebrate your birthday in previous years."

The queen smiled and said slowly, "It seems that your health has improved a lot this year, which is a good thing. I wonder what gift you brought today. You have only come for a short time in so many years. If the gift you brought is not good, I will be unhappy."

Although the queen said this in a joking tone, she had already made up her mind that if the things Shen Xuanheng brought were really not good, she would belittle him on the spot.

Shen Xuanheng hadn't noticed anything unusual at this moment. He just smiled calmly and said, "What I brought today is a meteorite from outer space. Would Your Majesty like to take a look?"

"Oh? It's something from outer space. It's a rare thing. Bring it up here for me to have a look."

The queen suddenly became interested, so the imperial guards outside the palace brought in the meteorite.

The red cloth was lifted, and the meteorite, which was as tall as a person, appeared before everyone's eyes. The light gold and dark red colors were intertwined together, and the whole stone was shining.

The most amazing thing is that on the light golden stone, the dark red lines intertwine to form a natural "longevity" character. This object is absolutely suitable for celebrating birthdays.

"Empress, this thing fell from the sky a month ago. There is a word for longevity written on it. I'm afraid it was sent down to the world by the heavens to congratulate you on your birthday." Shen Xuanheng bowed his hands and smiled, "I wish you a long life, Empress."

Upon hearing this, the queen felt both happy and depressed.

This gift of happiness is unique in the world, and it comes from outer space, so it has excellent meaning.

There was nothing wrong with Yu Ming's gift, and it was difficult for her to criticize Shen Xuanheng.

"Well, the stuff is pretty good, it's thoughtful."

The queen's cold tone surprised Shen Xuanheng. The royal family believed in destiny and should like this item very much. How could it be...

Shen Xuanheng suddenly looked at the eldest prince beside the queen, and immediately had a guess in his mind.

No wonder the Queen singled him out, it turned out she wanted to use the eldest prince to intimidate herself...

Shen Xuanheng smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart. After all, they were members of the royal family, so it was normal for them to have a bad temper and be a bit arrogant.

Su Xuqing had already finished eating the fat but not greasy bear paw, and patted her bulging belly with a satisfied look on her face. After eating, she lazily watched the performance in the hall, waiting for it to end.

Halfway through the banquet, a drizzle suddenly began to fall outside.

A young eunuch held a huge umbrella and walked down to the center of the eunuchs outside the Fengluan Palace to hold an umbrella for the golden phoenix made of gold to protect it from wind and rain, which might cause it to be worn out.

The young eunuch was standing next to the golden phoenix, holding an umbrella. He took a closer look at it and suddenly discovered that a feather was missing from the golden phoenix's wing, as if it had been broken off by someone.

"No way?"

The young eunuch suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Who was so bold? He even dared to pluck a hair from the golden phoenix in the palace!

The horrified young eunuch quickly reported the matter to the chief eunuch of Fengluan Palace, who was also greatly shocked and hurried into Fengluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, someone broke a feather of the golden phoenix outside the palace."

The queen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and thought she had heard it wrong.

"What did you say?"

"My queen, someone broke a feather of the golden phoenix outside the palace."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked and the ministers began to discuss the matter.

"I heard that this golden phoenix was originally given to the queen by the emperor. How dare someone break off a golden feather from it?"

"Whoever says it's not is really too brave."

Zhao, who was eating and drinking, suddenly became flustered when she heard this. She reached out and touched her sleeve, feeling as if she was on pins and needles.

At this moment, Su Xuqing couldn't help but look in the direction of the Duke's family. If she remembered correctly, when she entered the palace just now, the three of them lingered in front of the golden phoenix for a long time...

No way? No matter how stupid these three are, they can't be so stupid as to take advantage of the palace, right?

The queen took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.

"Who did it? Which slave did it?"

The eunuch chief was sweating profusely and said quickly: "Madam, even if you give us the courage of heaven, we dare not pluck the feathers of the golden phoenix."

The queen's eyes were slightly cold, and she said in a cold voice: "What do you mean, do you mean to say that the person who took the feathers was a guest of mine?"
