After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 512 Extra (10): Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet

At this time, in the Queen's Palace, the emperor and the empress were playing chess against each other.

"I don't know how the boss will handle the affairs in the wife's husband's family." The emperor said casually.

The queen placed a black stone on the chessboard and said, "The boss will always make the right choice."

Of course, even if it is incorrect, the emperor and his wife will not abolish the position of the crown princess just because of this favoritism.

The emperor dropped a white stone on the board and said, "I win."

The queen complained: "We agreed to play chess with me today, but you don't know what to do with me."

The emperor smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, let's play the next game again. This time I will give you a good hand."

The queen shook her head: "It's like this every time. You get the upper hand as soon as it's playing. It's boring, so I'd better recruit a few big players to play chess with me."

The emperor immediately became anxious and said: "Otherwise, let your father-in-law or eldest brother come to play chess with you, and you are not allowed to call Luo Zhang."

The queen gave him a strange look and said, "I'm already married, why are you still sour?"

The emperor's jealousy seemed to be particularly strong. Just because Luo Zhang looked at the queen in a strange way, the emperor asked him about some old things, and he suddenly became jealous.

The emperor was jealous but did not ban the queen from leaving the palace or restrict her behavior. Instead, he tried every means to torment Luo Zhang. Within his own ability, he promoted Luo Zhang and sent people to the capital.

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief when the person was no longer in sight. He felt frightened when he thought that the two families had almost discussed marriage.

If the marriage had really been arranged in his hometown back then, then he really wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Luo Zhang's father has gotten older in recent years and wanted his son to return to Beijing to honor him, so Luo Zhang was transferred back.

At the age when Luo Zhang should have gotten married, he refused all marriages as if to punish himself. However, after returning to the capital, he didn't know if his old father persuaded him, and finally got married and gave birth to a son last year.

Of course the emperor believed that there was no ambiguity between his wife and Luo Zhang, but they had studied together and were childhood sweethearts. The thought of this always made him jealous and tried every means to separate the two.

"I haven't seen Sun's father for a long time. I asked someone to ask him if he is free to play chess with me." Niu Niu said with a smile.

The emperor was completely relieved and did not stay here to be an eyesore. He said: "There are still some official matters that have not been dealt with. I will go back to the imperial study to have a look. Remember to let the Sun family have dinner. I will come when the time comes."

The emperor rarely calls himself "I" in front of the queen, because secondly, for clinical reasons, this title can also be used for the queen, but the two of them rarely use this word when they are with their families.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring the godmother in as well." The queen said with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The palace did not entertain the courtiers, but only invited family members.

Princess Jing entered the palace with a large group of sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren. As the emperor's biological mother, she did not become the queen mother after the emperor ascended the throne, but remained in Prince Jing's palace.

Even though she didn't actually have the title of Queen Mother, people outside didn't dare to look down upon her in the slightest.

Even the queen treats her with the courtesy of a daughter-in-law.

At this time, the queen mother, Prince Jing and his wife were sitting in the upper seat, and the emperor and empress were also sitting below them. The former Concubine Shun, now the Queen Mother, looked at the relatives in the palace with a smile.

Princess Bao'er and his wife also returned to the palace today with their children. At this time, they didn't know what they were telling their children.

The relatives of the Queen Mother's family were sitting next to Liu Xiaoru and his wife, pointing to the dishes on the table and full of admiration.

Mr. and Mrs. Sun Jiaxing and their grandson were watching the song and dance performance in the palace.

Mrs. Gu and Daddy Gu are already very old, but the old couple are still bright-eyed. At this time, Mrs. Gu glanced at the queen from a distance and said to Daddy Gu: "I told you, our dear baby will wear gold clothes." She looks best in red. You see how energetic she looks in gold."

Dad Gu put a piece of pastry into his mouth and said vaguely: "You are the most beautiful, you are the most beautiful."

Mrs. Gu glared at her husband and said, "Start pretending to be confused again!"

The corners of Daddy Gu's mouth slowly raised, and he said, "My dear, I look good in anything I wear, but I don't look as good as you."

Mrs. Gu is too lazy to quarrel with Father Gu. Her children are filial, and there is nothing wrong with her body even in her old age. Even the eldest and third bedrooms are living a peaceful life now. She has no worries at all and feels that she is absolutely perfect. The most blessed old lady in Beijing.

"That's weird, where has the wife gone?" Mrs. Gu asked Dad Gu in a low voice.

Father Gu just glanced at the empty seat next to the Crown Princess and said: "We are all great-grandchildren, why do you care so much? The singing and dancing are so beautiful. If you miss it, they won't dance for you a second time. ”

When Mrs. Gu saw that the old man was perfunctory with her, she turned directly to Zhang Yunniang: "Yunniang, take a look, are the young couple having a quarrel? Find someone quickly to persuade the wife, don't let him make our eldest daughter angry."

Zhang Yuniang listened to her mother-in-law's insistence and deflection, and said helplessly: "Mom, Dabao is already in her twenties. She can handle her affairs by herself, so don't worry about it."

"Having children is a lifelong concern. Dabao has enough official duties to deal with. Aren't I afraid that she will be upset about family matters? This wife is really not sensible at all." Old Mrs. Gu complain.

Mrs. Gu was very kind to her daughter-in-law, but she always had extremely high demands on her son-in-law. Even when the queen got married, the old lady had many demands on the emperor, but she didn't dare to say them out.

Zhang Yuniang vaguely knew why the concubine's husband did not appear at today's banquet, and guessed that it might have something to do with the incident in Mizhou.

The daughter-in-law's brother seized farmland in Mizhou, bullied the market, and even injured people with his horses. The Gu family discovered this series of things.

Gu Mingda did not bring this matter up in the court, but first sent someone to ventilate the princess.

The Crown Princess dealt with the Prince's husband's family quickly and swiftly, and the Prince's husband even fell ill because of this incident. However, the Crown Princess did not change her mind. It seemed that there were vague rumors about the Prince's husband in the East Palace. News of a fall from grace.

"Mom, children and grandchildren will be blessed by themselves. If something really happens, Your Majesty and the Empress will not ignore it. You used to always worry that Your Majesty would bully the Empress on the left and the boss on the right. If you really have to worry, you should also worry about the Concubine. After all, The queen holds great power, and she will not be bullied," Zhang Yunniang comforted her.

Mrs. Gu glanced at the emperor and the empress sitting above her, thought for a moment, and realized that this was indeed the case, and said no more.

The emperor and empress suddenly stood up together, held up their wine glasses, and under the bright light, said to everyone present: "Today the whole family is reunited, and I hope that every year we will be here today, and we will be here tonight."
