Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 80 Benefits

Hearing what Xie Xi said was unpleasant, Lin Zisu said angrily: "What a good relationship! My grandpa has always been clean and self-sufficient, and he has always been in office. How could he have anything to do with the eldest princess?"

When Xie Xi saw Lin Zisu, he didn't believe what he meant. He twitched his lips slightly and told Lin Zisu in detail about the past events he had found out.

The late emperor was obsessed with elegance and yearned for the scenery south of the Yangtze River. During his more than ten years in office, he went to the south of the Yangtze River nine times openly and countless times secretly.

Princess Yong'an was the eldest daughter of the late emperor. Naturally, she often traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with the late emperor. During one of her trips, she encountered a heavy rain and met Bi Suinan who was going to Nankang City to take the exam.

After some hardships, Princess Yong'an fell in love with Bi Suinan, but Bi Suinan had no idea about it. He only thought that Princess Yong'an was an official lady in the capital, and left immediately after sending Princess Yong'an safely to the provincial capital.

Later, Princess Yong'an sent many people to investigate, and got news about Bi Suinan. When she heard that he had passed the imperial examination in Jiangnan, she was filled with joy and waited for Bi Suinan to go to Beijing.

Princess Yong'an actually waited for Bi Suinan in the examination that year, but Bi Suinan had no intention of doing so, especially when Bi Suinan heard about Yong'an's identity, she was very resistant.

The young and energetic Bi Suinan wanted to make great contributions, but according to the traditional rules of the Dayan Dynasty, Princess Shang could only do some idle jobs, which was obviously unacceptable to the passionate Bi Suinan.

After Princess Yong'an was politely rejected, her love turned into hatred. With the favor of the late emperor, she forced the officials to transfer Bi Suinan to a mountain county in Huainan.

Bi Suinan knew that he had offended the princess, so his passion was sealed, and he became a conscientious official and quite famous in the local area.

He was extremely impressed by Lin Zisu, but he did not expect that this delicate-looking little girl was actually the daughter of a prince of the current dynasty.

The exchange of movements between the two took only a few breaths, but this series of movements was still seen by those who were interested.

Lin Zisu was originally worried that Xu Wentao was a fierce and domineering person and would never give up.

The Wanshou Banquet was held in the Huangji Hall. Officials of the fourth rank and above and their families held the banquet in the hall, while officials below the fourth rank held the banquet in the corridor outside the hall.

The person sitting in that seat looked familiar, but it was Li Zongyan, the eldest prince of Changli Kingdom.

The emperor raised the wine glass in his hand, gave a long smile, and said: "Thanks to the protection of our ancestors and the hard work of all ministers, today's prosperity of Dayan is possible. This glass of wine will pray for the prosperity of my country and the country of Dayan, so as to seek peace for all generations!"

Lin Zisu originally wanted to see the positions of her father and eldest brother, but she did not expect that the position of Changli Kingdom would be under Kang Ningbo.

Xie Xi sighed and said: "I knew that I would never get any benefits from you."

Hearing that Xie Xi was going to her home again, Lin Zisu's mouth twitched, but she still nodded reluctantly. Xie Xi then said: "That cousin of yours, I just saw her sneaking towards the east, do you want to

Can I ask someone to keep an eye on me?"

Lin Zisu spat at him and said, "You asked me to do something for you, but I haven't asked you for payment yet. Are you embarrassed to ask me for a thank you gift?"

The sound in the hall was like thunder, and the emperor drank three glasses of wine in succession. Seeing the civil and military officials talking and laughing, he felt infinite joy in his heart.

Lin Zisu knew in her heart that Qin Yajun's words were untrue, but she didn't care too much. Xie Xi had her own way of finding out, so she smiled and said: "My cousin is so lucky."

Xie Xi pointed to his sleeve and said: "I have already obtained the elixir. You can't take it out of the palace. I will deliver it to your house in the evening."

It was not until the eleventh year of the Zhengxing reign that Bi Suinan was rated as excellent by the chief envoy for his meritorious service in exterminating the epidemic in Huainan. Then he came into the emperor's sight and was promoted all the way to the position of Qingyang Mansion.

Although Count Kangning's title is inconspicuous, it is still a title after all, and his position is higher than those of envoys from vassal countries and tribes.

Thinking of this, Lin Zisu felt relaxed and the corners of her mouth tilted up involuntarily.

He saw her change from the depressed look in the past few days, and her face was beaming with joy. She didn't know what happened. Lin Zisu asked curiously: "Cousin, what kind of happy event have you encountered?"

Due to the strong defense of etiquette, Li Zongyan bowed his hand to Lin Zisu in vain, and Lin Zisu also symbolically blessed his body, which was regarded as a return gift.

Since men and women were seated separately at the banquet, Lin Zisu followed her mother to the side hall of Huangji Hall.

Lin Zisu shook her head. It was almost noon before Qin Yajun turned around.

Xie Xi laughed and said: "Su Su, you are making things difficult for me. Ever since I was born, I don't know what politeness is."

At noon, with the sound of whips outside the palace, all the ministers inside and outside the palace stood up and raised their glasses to salute the emperor.

After being reminded by Lin Zisu, Xie Xi remembered his own business. He had just gone to the main hall where the gifts were stored. He wanted not to disturb others, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Xu Wentao first, and then met Lin Zisu, who was just talking.

Forgot all the important things.

Bi Suinan is his maternal grandfather, and since Princess Yong'an has such a relationship with her maternal grandfather, Xu Wentao will not bother her anymore no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xi found another way to find out such old news from nowhere, which blocked Xu Wentao's escape route.

Xie Xi mentioned the past of Princess Yong'an as if he was talking about a romantic affair.

Lin Zisu really couldn't stand his frivolous tone, so she suppressed her displeasure. After hearing what he said, she immediately rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why do you say that's my grandfather too? Can't you be more polite?"

Lin Zisu returned to the Zhongji Hall as if nothing had happened. A banquet was about to begin at the Huangji Hall. Qin Yajun hadn't turned around yet. Bi was a little anxious waiting. When she saw Lin Zisu, she hurriedly said: "Sister,

Where have you been to see your cousin Yajun?"

However, due to the suppression of Princess Yong'an, Bi Suinan served as a county magistrate in Huainan Province for more than ten years. No matter how successful he was in politics, he could never be promoted.

Xie Xi saw this subtle expression and said with a smile: "Su Su, I have done such a big thing for you, how can you thank me?"

Li Zongyan was already sitting down when he saw a girl looking at him. After a few glances, he remembered what happened in Linlang Pavilion.

Qin Yajun had just received the care of the third prince Xie Hui. He was in a good mood at this time and said with a smile: "I just met the nobles in the palace and received a few compliments, so I am very happy."

After all the officials had finished toasting the Nine Jue wine to the emperor, the Jiaofang Secretary finished playing the music step by step, and the Wanshou Banquet came to an end.

The emperor was still unfinished, and regardless of the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he said: "The whole world is celebrating today, and I should rejoice with you all!"

The third prince, Xie Hui, saw that his father was in high spirits and took advantage of the situation to say, "My father is celebrating his birthday today. Why don't all the adults present express their thoughts and celebrate my father's birthday together!"

The emperor immediately agreed to this suggestion. Xie Hui was secretly happy when he saw that everything was going according to his plan. He was about to tell the emperor about the next step of arrangements. Unexpectedly, someone stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty Yang Xingyao, I would like to present a poem to our emperor."

One song!"
