But the Empress Dowager had to bear the anger, because after the emperor finished speaking, other royal relatives and nobles and ministers had already stood up with their glasses and toasted the Empress Dowager respectfully: "I wish the Empress Dowager as blessed as the East Sea and as long as the South Mountain!"

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and raised a graceful and decent smile: "Everyone is happy."

The King of Xijiang, King Rouran and Prince Qing came forward respectfully and carried all the carefully prepared gifts. The Empress Dowager smiled and greeted the guests one by one, with a grace and superiority of the Empress Dowager of a great country.

Everyone returned to their seats after toasting.

The palace maids in pink dresses shuttled through the table, adding wine and tea to the long table in front of everyone. The beautiful dancers who were carefully rehearsed walked to the red carpet under the stage with graceful lotus steps. After celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday, they shook their light long sleeves and began to dance.

The meal soon became lively.

The younger generations successively presented their carefully prepared gifts, all kinds of which were included. The queen mother smiled and ordered the palace maids and General Manager Yang around her to accept the gifts one by one.

Most of the people who came to offer gifts were women. Princess Baoling and Qin Jingshu, who were closer to the Queen Mother, would act spoiled at the right time and say a few words to make the Queen Mother happy. Of course, with the help of the gifts on the stage, Qin Jingshu's eyes would intentionally or unintentionally pass over the emperor and Nan Si.

Princess Baoling would also take the time to hand Nan Si a poisonous knife look.

Nan Si does not hurt or itch.

Cang Hanyu lowered his eyes, peeled a lychee for Nan Si, gave Nan Si a piece of sweet and juicy peach meat, and fed her a piece of carefully prepared snacks in the imperial kitchen. He lowered his head and kissed her face, and whispered: "Are you annoying?"

"Not annoying." Nan Si's tone was faint, "I really like to see these people who obviously want to swallow me, but they just look helpless. It's quite interesting."

This sentence was not loud or small, and it happened to be heard by Princess Baoling and Qin Jingshu. Their faces froze for a moment, and then Qin Jingshu retreated silently to the female mat. Princess Baoling seemed to want to say something, but when she spoke, she suddenly thought of Nan Si.

Tonight's Empress Dowager's birthday party, why didn't Nan Xiang, who was once the emperor's favorite, come?

This question is actually more than just confused.

Many people were thinking about this question on the seat. Except for Rong Chuxiu and others who already knew the inside story, a doubt flashed through most people's hearts-

Why did Lord Nan Xiang, who was powerful and favored by the emperor, not attend to tonight's palace banquet?

Is it because the emperor doesn't want him to attend, or is it because he knows that the emperor has a new favorite with a woman and is unhappy, so he deliberately refuses to come?

Also, when did this Qin girl meet the emperor?

It was rumored outside that Nan Xiang also took a fancy to this girl and wanted to take her into the mansion as a concubine, but then Miss Qin became the emperor's woman?

Is it because the emperor has been acting with Nan Xiang or the emperor has enthroned Qin Si, not because he likes her, but just doesn’t want Nan Xiang to take a concubine?

Everyone had a lot of thoughts, and when they were thinking, they had guessed countless versions.

After everyone's gifts ended one after another, the King of Qi also stepped forward and said a few words of congratulations. Seeing his gloomy face, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong?"

The King of Qi glanced at the emperor from the corner of his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and smiled humbly: "It's nothing, it's just that the emperor just gave Erchen a marriage in the morning."

What??

The queen mother was surprised and tightened her fingertips with her veil: "Which woman has the emperor given you?"
