Chapter 947 Good Luck A banquet was held in the palace that new emperor hosted a banquet for all civil and military officials to show that the ruler and his subjects were of one mind and were working together on state affairs. Before the dinner started, Fu Ciyi went to the imperial study to find Long Yi. "Father, Mother, Ningning, Beimo, and Nanyao are still in the palace. I want to go back and be with them." Long Yi did not agree directly, but asked: "Today is the first day of the first lunar month, don't you have anything else to say to me?" "It is truly a cause for celebration that Father has officially ascended the throne." "Forget it. You sound so reluctant." Long Yi waved his hand, agreeing to let his son go back to the palace. "Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year. It's time to move into your own residence. It's okay for you to go back early today to prepare." Fu Ciyi bowed and said, "Thank you, Father." "Ah." Long Yi waved his hand again. Fu Ciyi left the palace and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.

As soon as he reached the courtyard of Mingzhu Garden, he went straight to the bedroom. "Ning Ning." He probably went a little too far last night. I caused her to get injured a little, and when I applied medicine on her, I found that her area was red, swollen, and had a cut, and I felt extremely guilty. So he spent the whole day wondering if she was feeling better. I didn't even want to attend the palace banquet and just wanted to come back to accompany her. Yan Funing was surprised by his return: "Didn't they say there would be a palace banquet tonight, attended by civil and military officials? Why are you back?" "Are you feeling better?" "never mind." "Is everything really alright?" He didn't believe it. "Let me see." "It's really alright." She smiled slightly, "Since you're back, I have to tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes." Then she called out, "Caiyu, go add a few dishes." "Okay, I'll go now." Caiyu's voice came and left quickly. Fu Ciyi then said, "All the civil and military officials are attending. In a few days, my position as Prime Minister will probably be removed. Therefore, it is not important whether I attend the palace banquet or not." "It's just right that we can have a good meal tonight." Yan Funing took out the remaining red envelopes, "This morning I asked Leng Feng and Leng Ying to take some to Fu Mansion and Nanshan. The ones at home haven't been distributed yet, so I thought I'd distribute them during dinner so that we can all be happy together." She handed him a thick stack of red envelopes and said, "Send it." "You prepared it, so of course you send it." Fu Ciyi was still worried about her, and whispered, "Take a look at night." "Yeah." She gave him a playful smile, "It's really okay." Quarter of an hour later, dinner at Mingzhu Garden began.

As usual, the master and servants eat together. Qiao Wanyou raised her glass and said loudly, "Today is New Year's Day, everyone eat and drink well." "it is good." Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. Qiao Wanyou added: "From now on, my mother and I will all rely on you. I'll drink this glass of wine first as a token of my respect." "What did you say, Madam?" "Yes, Madam, from now on, we will do whatever you ask us to do." "We are loyal!" "In that case, thank you all!" Qiao Wanyou poured herself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. After three rounds of drinking, Yan Funing handed out red envelopes one by one: "New Year's red envelopes, for celebration and good luck." Jiang He, Hu Hai and others all received red envelopes. "We are wearing brand new clothes today, and we also got red envelopes. We are so happy!" Fu Jiang said, "This morning, I saw Leng Feng and Leng Ying holding a thick stack of envelopes. I asked him to give me one, but he refused." "That's why I asked them to send it to Fu Mansion and Nanshan first. Yours is still in my hands." After saying that, Yan Funing handed the red envelope to Leng Feng and Leng Ying: "Look, they have only just received their own." Everyone laughed. Fu Ciyi said, "Eat well tonight. We will move tomorrow. Ningning and I will go to our own residence. Beimo must go to the prince's residence first, and then come to our residence. As for mother and Nanyao, they should probably move into the palace tomorrow." Fu Nanyao was shocked: "Ah, we have to live separately tomorrow?" "Yeah." Fu Ciyi nodded. "Brother and sister-in-law, can I come to your house and stay for a while occasionally?" Fu Nanyao said, looking lonely. Yan Funing nodded gently: "Of course you can, then you can choose a yard to live in." "Thank you, sister-in-law." Fu Nanyao felt better. Meng Li asked in a low voice: "Sir, who should I follow then?" "Of course you'll follow me." Fu Beimo and Fu Nanyao said in unison. Fu Nanyao rushed to ask: "Brother, you agree to let Ali follow me, right?" Fu Beimo said, "Yuan Lian is a princess and lives in the inner palace. I live in the prince's quarters, and the prince's quarters can bring guards. Ali, you follow me legitimately, but what is your reason for following her?" This question stumped Meng Li. He looked at Fu Ciyi with a worried look on his face. Fu Ciyi said calmly: "You should just follow Bei Mo. If you follow him, you can use Bei Mo's name to go see Nan Yao."

Even if Meng Li was given the status of a royal guard, he could not enter and leave the princess's bedroom at will. My sister's reputation is important. This is all we can do for now. Meng Li nodded: "I will listen to you, sir." Li Ma Ma smiled and said, "I am an old servant, please let me say a few words. Why are you young people still calling me Young Master? You should call me Your Highness." Li Xinheng also said, "Yes, my mother is right. The young master is now the third prince, so he is the Third Highness, and the young lady is the Third Prince's wife. Miss Nan Yao is the Fifth Princess, and the young master Bei Mo is now the ninth prince, so he is the Ninth Highness. Let's change the way we address our masters first, so as not to let the servants in other courtyards laugh at us." Everyone agreed: "That makes sense, that makes sense." Once the name was changed, everyone tried to call it that and there was laughter for a while. Qiao Wanyou smiled and shook her head: "Okay, let's eat, the food is getting cold." Everyone said yes. Fu Beimo kept eating and talking a lot: "Brother, today our father ascended the throne, is there anything worth mentioning?" Fu Ciyi said, "His accession to the throne went smoothly, but after he accepted the worship of the civil and military officials, he discussed how to enthrone the empress dowager, and there was some dispute among the court officials." "What was the result?" Fu Beimo asked again. Fu Ciyi then told him the results. In the concubine's courtyard at this moment. Ling sat aside and dared not say a word. The Toffee Dowager paced back and forth, showing no mood to eat. "How ridiculous, how ridiculous!" she shouted, "My son is the emperor, so it's only natural for me to be the empress dowager, right? But I'm only the imperial empress dowager, which is still a long way from being the empress dowager." Ling whispered, "Aunt, the Empress Dowager is also the Empress Dowager." "If you ask me, how could I not know?" The concubine said coldly, "I am the Empress Dowager, and it is because of my biological mother that I can become the Empress Dowager." "Aunt, the question now is, how can you become the Empress Dowager?" Ling asked, "As long as there is a way, can't we just do it according to the method?" "You reminded me of this." The concubine sat down and lowered her voice, "Only when the stepmother is gone can the biological mother be named the empress dowager." "The Empress Dowager is now over 80 years old, and she has gained another year in the new year." Ling advised softly, "Aunt, please wait a little longer. In a few years, you will be the Empress Dowager." "But I don't want to wait. I get angry when I think that old woman can still ride on my head."
