Chapter 118: Stepping on Sheng Jinshu to climb up
"Your Majesty, I have long admired the Nineteenth Imperial Uncle. It's not easy for him to attend this banquet, so I beg of you, please move my seat next to that of Prince Yong'an, diagonally across from Imperial Uncle, so that I may converse with him at length."
The fourth prince Yan Zichen made another request.
"Your Majesty, I was just thinking the same thing..." The Crown Prince spoke up.
"Your Majesty, I also want to learn from the Emperor's uncle..." The fifth prince spoke up.
"Your Majesty, regarding the selection of talents for the Spring Imperial Examination, I would like to ask for the Regent's opinion..."
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is having trouble with the canal repairs. I have been thinking day and night about seeking advice from the Regent..."
"Your Majesty..."
"Hehehe~" The little princess, who was only four years old and in the arms of Queen Xian, burst out laughing: "Nineteenth Imperial Uncle is a sweet pastry, everyone wants to go, Mother Empress, Father Emperor, can I go too?"
"But... Nineteenth Uncle seems to be a bit scary, I like the pretty lady in red next to Nineteenth Uncle better, I want her to hug me..."
"Fourth brother, take care of your own people! How annoying!" Yan Beizheng used his internal energy, and every single person in the grand hall could hear his disdain clearly.
But immediately, his slender fingers pointed at Little Princess: "That doll, bring it over to the king...to give to Miss Jinju!"
Little doll? Some trouble...
However, he and his wife will soon have a little baby too, let's take a look...
Yan Beiting wants Little Gongzhu, Xian Fei is so scared that her soul flies away. Such a small child, once in the hands of King Xiwang, can she still survive?
Fortunately, it turned around in the end...
"Then... Your Majesty can move my seat to the side of Yong'an Hou's wife." She didn't dare refuse Yan Beizheng, and could only choose this.
The emperor looked at Yan Beizhen and saw that he did not object, so he spoke out: "Approved!"
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Empress, my daughter and Jin Xiu are good friends, my daughter also wants to go over and sit with Jin Xiu..."
Zhou Shui Bi, who had been silent all along, finally stood up.
But what she suggested was not moving her family's seats over, nor did she dare to.
She only wanted to get close to the Regent... and make every effort to create opportunities to talk to him, best if everyone thought the Regent had taken a liking to her, so as to use this grand banquet as an excuse to truly enter the Regent's palace...
"Who... are you from?" The emperor asked after just a glance at Zhou Shui Bi.
It's really because Zhou Shui Bi is too eye-catching!
She wore a refreshing and elegant green dress, with light and elegant makeup, and was also a beautiful young woman, but she was wearing a whole set of extremely tacky accessories, those luxurious things piled on her body, producing an extremely strong contrast!
"I am Zhou Shuibei, the seventh daughter of the Minister of Revenue's household!" Zhou Shuibei bowed neatly and properly.
"You're really dressed in a rather...unseemly manner." The emperor couldn't even bear to look at him.
The Emperor immediately raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the hairpiece of my daughter was specially prepared by Jin Yu for my daughter to attend the Spring Day banquet today!"
"A gift from a friend, I dare not decline! My daughter is very grateful to her!"
"Hum! When Sheng Jinxiu gave her this set of jewelry, she must not have expected that she would use it to attract everyone's attention and trample on the image of simplicity, kindness, and loyalty that she had created for herself!"
Don't blame her!
Who makes the value of this cheap girl lie in being used?
As long as she can successfully enter the Regent's Palace today, afterwards she won't need to coax that cheap girl, who will obediently hand over all the gold, silver and good things she wants with both hands...
