The prince spared his life! The lady has been reborn to save you

The Shen family was clever and placed the chair in the pavilion, with those sitting at the table being the main branch of the Shen family.

At the end of the table, a girl stared at Wei Xingli, who was standing next to the Emperor and Empress, with eyes full of amazement. She secretly pulled Nie Yuqing's sleeve and said, "Aunt, who is that person? How come I have never seen him before? He is so arrogant that even my cousin, the Crown Prince, has to give up his seat for him."

Nie Yuqing pulled out his sleeves with a cold face, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Give up your thoughts. If you want to die, don't drag us down."

Shen Yanran's hands were empty, and she was stunned for a moment. She frowned and said, "You took the wrong medicine, you are crazy."

Nie Yuqing ignored her.

Shen Zheng's niece was a smart girl who often caused trouble for her. She had endured it for Shen Zheng's sake, but she didn't want to endure it today.

The host Wei Xingli glanced at him with a light smile, which made people feel cold all over. Nie Yuqing suddenly felt that it made no difference whether to tolerate or not. If he offended this person, his life would be in danger.

"Your clothes..."

Wei Xingli rarely went out, so Emperor Yuan An talked to him more and even left the crown prince and the queen aside.

As he was talking, he felt something was wrong.

This misty white brocade with gold threads looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

When Wei Xingli heard him mention it, he smiled sincerely and boasted, "Your Majesty, do you think it looks good? It was given to me by someone else. I still have three or four sets at home."

"It looks good." Emperor Yuan An gave his approval, but in the middle of winter, why did his nephew's eyes and eyebrows reveal a hint of spring...

Emperor Yuan An narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who is so generous? Tell me about it."

Wei Xingli just smiled without saying anything. Shen Ni looked at the brocade and knew what was going on. His eyes glanced at Wei Yu, who was obsessed with his brother, and he paused slightly. The usually wise and shrewd prince now smiled like a fool.

Her heart was clogged and she could hardly maintain the proper smile on her lips.

As they were talking, the last dish of the banquet - black-bone chicken stewed with pearls - was served.

The whole black-bone chicken is stewed until soft and juicy, and is supplemented with pearlweed, fire wings, bird's nest, abalone, ginseng, tripe and six kinds of delicacies to make the broth.

The color is golden and the soup is sweet.

Shen Ni served the bowl to Emperor Yuan An. The fragrant broth was placed in a jade bowl. It was crystal clear and made the taste buds salivate. Wei Xingli took another look.

"Your Majesty, the black chicken in this soup was raised by my mother for my birthday banquet. I am so proud to serve it as a famous dish. Your Majesty, please taste it."

"Really?" Emperor Yuan An showed surprise. Zhou ruled the country with filial piety. Being a filial son, one should perform filial deeds. He believed that the relationship between a mother and her child is the purest and most intimate. Mother Shen personally raised chickens for her son's birthday. Her deep love for her son hit the mark exactly what he wanted.

Emperor Yuan An looked at Shen Zheng and said, "You have a good mother."

Shen Zheng lowered his head, feeling something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Duke's wife spoke.

Madam Shen was an old lady with a kind face. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Black chickens are easy to raise. Chickens lay eggs, and eggs hatch chickens. If they can't lay eggs, just raise a few more hens. At least the inheritance will not be cut off."

The table fell silent. Everyone put down their chopsticks and lowered their heads. Shen Yanran didn't know why, so she put down her chopsticks after a while.

The hen that doesn't lay eggs, who is it referring to? Everyone knows it. Shen Zheng's face is stiff. He didn't expect his mother to face the emperor directly. Emperor Yuan An didn't like Ah Qing in the first place...

The fear and panic in my heart felt like a sharp arrow piercing my liver. My hand, hanging down under the table, reached out to grab the trembling hand.

He said: Don't be afraid.

With their fingers clasped together, Nie Yuqing suddenly thought of the moment in the Ministry of Justice prison ten years ago, when Shen Zheng's chest was wrapped in bandages and he could barely walk steadily, yet he carried her home in his arms, with warm liquid dripping down her cheeks. She couldn't tell whether it was her tears or his blood.

She held the man's big hand tightly, just like the promise they made when they were engaged.

Hold your hand and walk with you forever.

Emperor Yuan An did not look very happy. He knew exactly whether the chicken had laid eggs or not.

Thinking of Shen Zheng, this big rooster, who is nearly thirty years old and still has no live eggs... Never mind, just give him some mercy.

As he thought this, a slender finger pressed against his dragon robe, and the gold dragon eye on the cuff became dented.

"How dare you." Emperor Yuan An brushed Wei Xingli's hand away and scolded, "You put your hands on my dragon robe, you're asking for a beating!"

Wei Xingli held his forehead with his hand, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I don't have that much time to listen to eggs. I need to go back to the mansion for a nap."

He pointed to the bowl of steaming soup and highly recommended it, "After you drink this bowl of soup, I have good news to report."

Shen Zheng raised his head suddenly, and felt that his action was too abrupt. He exhaled slowly and said, "Your Majesty, raising chickens is rough work, and there are many tricks involved. It is better to let mother explain it to you in detail later. Your Highness is weak, so you should take a nap to rest your mind. You can't delay it."

Everyone was silent. The lady of the noble family and the imperial edict knew very well that the man was trying to win the emperor's favor, but she had to embarrass herself.

In the silence, Wei Xingli suddenly laughed, and the sound of his laughter was as continuous as needles.

Old Madam Shen's face froze. Shen Ni put down the bowl of soup and glanced at her brother indifferently.

The atmosphere at the banquet was tense. Wei Yu raised the corners of his lips and followed Shen Zheng's words, "Yes, it's just a few chickens. It's rare for the prince to attend a banquet, so you're not here to learn how to raise chickens."

"Ming Guang." Shen Ni placed a bowl of soup in front of Wei Yu, "Try it."

Wei Yu stopped talking, and Emperor Yuan An's eyes fell on the soup. Seeing that everyone had finished their performance, he stood up leisurely, "Let's stop here today."

"Xing Yu, the bright light follows me."

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan An called Wei Xingli and Wei Yu away. The banquet cooled down and Shen Ni's expression darkened. She looked straight at Nie Yuqing and was about to speak when a sharp pain rose from her stomach.

"boom!"

A loud bang exploded from the flower pavilion and spread to the front of the door, leaving only a slight vibration. Emperor Yuan An and the other two looked back.

Wei Yu frowned, "What's going on?"

A nice birthday party turned into a mess.

Wei Xingli said: Your mother is furious.

In the fifteenth year of Yuan'an, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Zheng's birthday banquet was avenged by evil bandits. The ground was covered with golden juice, the stench was overwhelming, and the foul sound of thunder was like thunder. The guests covered their noses and ran around like mad dogs. The old man fainted and the children cried. Jade bowls and porcelain plates fell to the ground and shattered. The mellow wine and delicious food were poured on the crowd.

Jade branches and green tiles, swallows flying in front of the hall, the raging fire cooking oil, the tile jar cracking, the swallows in the hall fly into the clouds and disappear.

Unofficial history records: The phoenix robe fell to the ground, stained and wet, and leaked golden soup. The phoenix screamed, howling at the thunderclouds in the sky. The peony trembled and cried blood. The emperor was furious and imprisoned the phoenix in the Zao Palace to cover up the dirty rumors in the market. Those who violated the rules would be bloodied!

Zao Palace was hidden behind Zhengyang Palace. Shen Ni took off her hairpin and let her hair down. She fell into Wei Yu's arms and cried bitterly, "It's him! It must be him! My son, it was Wei Xingli who harmed me——!"

Wei Yu gently stroked her shoulders, his eyes filled with pain, "Mother, calm down..."

"No, not my brother."

Shen Ni was humiliated like this, which was more embarrassing than death.

She clutched Wei Yu's collar tightly, her eyes red with anger, "He stayed indoors everyday, but he went there that day! I was humiliated, but you didn't take revenge, but spoke for the murderer. Are you still my son?"

Wei Yu's eyes trembled, and after a moment, he frowned, "Mother, father has already found out everything."
