Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 296: Offering the Princess

That night.

The lights were brilliant, the palace lanterns and the wine in the glass cups complemented each other, and the hall was as bright as day.

In the hall, the floor was covered with exotic wool carpets, and the skirts of the barefoot dancers fluttered as they danced.

Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe was accompanied by the Fourth Prince Qin Mingyun, and leading the seat was Concubine Yu Yu Sheyue who was accompanied by the Third Prince Qin Mingjin. Opposite them sat Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue and her son, as well as Concubine Xian Fu Mengli and her son, whose title had been changed not long ago.

Can't even look at each other.

Meng Xinghe stared at the glass wine glass made of sand in his hand, seeming to be fascinated by the exquisiteness of the glass.

You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity.

This wine glass, this carpet, Lady Lu Liniang of the State of Yi is really good at doing business. She has made many fortunes from the powerful and wealthy, whether she knows it or not.

The gap between people is bigger than that between people and bananas. This is too amazing.

Want to hug someone's thigh.

However, Your Majesty, can you tolerate so much money being taken away?

Qin Mingyun saw Meng Xinghe staring at the wine glass in his hand in a daze.

"Mother, I want to drink too."

Meng Xinghe took a sip of the wine that looked no different from grape juice, and then gently wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief in an elegant posture.

"What are you drinking? No, wine is also alcohol. If you drink alcohol when you are young, you won't grow tall. When your brothers are all tall and strong, you will stand in the middle and be a little bit depressed, which will affect the image of the royal family."

Qin Mingyun turned his head and looked at his third brother Qin Mingjin who was eating hard beside him, and teased: "Then if all of us brothers want to be like our father, as tall and straight as a jade tree, as green as pine and cypress, and as tall and straight as a tree, will our third brother be an exception?"

When the third prince Qin Mingjin heard his fourth brother Qin Mingyin suddenly remind him, his hand holding the chopsticks paused, he raised his head with puffy cheeks, and confusion in his eyes.

"Brother San, stop eating. Father hasn't come yet."

"If you keep eating like this, you'll become a fat man and won't be able to walk."

When Meng Xinghe heard that the excuse he used to trick Qin Mingyun into eating less Sushan desserts was actually used by him to refer to his third brother, he pursed his lips and smiled, neither agreeing nor objecting.

She knew that there was a general shortage of oil and water in ancient times. Although the upper class at the top of the pyramid had no shortage of it, the general social consensus was that children should be as fat as possible, especially little boys.

When Yu Sheyue heard this, she took the handkerchief handed to her by the palace servant behind her and carefully helped Qin Mingjin wipe the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.

While objecting, she said, "Your Highness the Third Prince is still young. He should eat more at this age so that he can grow taller when he grows up. My brothers in my family were picky eaters when they were young, and they are not very tall now.

Your Highness the Fourth Prince is the same age as Your Highness the Third Prince, so he should eat more."

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen has arrived."

"Long live our emperor. May our Great Yong dynasty be forever strong, may your majesty live forever, and may the people of Great Yong enjoy prosperity and peace forever."

"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Everyone stepped out from behind their desks and shouted in unison.

After Fu Mengli followed the crowd in saluting, she raised her eyes to look at Meng Wu Yue who was standing in front of her with a questioning look in her eyes.

Meng Wuyue shook his head slightly.

She didn't know either.

Shen Ningyue was in really good health. She gave birth to two princes in one pregnancy. She was able to come out before she finished her confinement, showing her dignity as the queen.

Qin Zhi sat in the main seat, looking at the harmonious scene of clinking glasses below, feeling a little bored.

He swirled the glass in his hand and drank the wine.

This wine is too bland.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Today is the day of Your Majesty's longevity. May Your Majesty be happy every year, have a long life, and be blessed with good health. May God bless our Great Yong, and may it prosper for thousands of years and prosper forever.

Fu Mengli's eyebrows jumped. This familiar voice made her look at her father Fu Buyi who loved to show off.

What is this going to do?

At the banquet tonight, after the singing and dancing, the princes and princesses will come out to present gifts to His Majesty and wish him a happy birthday. The court officials finished paying their respects this morning, so what is her father trying to do by standing up now?

Qin Zhi nodded nonchalantly and drank a glass of wine with a smile.

Fu Buyi continued in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness. The birthday gifts presented to Your Majesty by my colleagues were all presented before the banquet tonight.

However, I cannot present this birthday gift in private, for fear that people would misunderstand that I am a flatterer who offers beauty to please the emperor, and I cannot let people misunderstand that Your Majesty is addicted to beauty.

Besides these two things, my birthday gift would only be meaningful if it were presented at a banquet that everyone is paying attention to."

Fu Mengli lowered her head slightly, with a barely perceptible displeasure between her brows.

Qin Zhi raised his hand, motioning Fu Buyi to continue.

Please continue your performance.

"Your Majesty, the prosperity of the world depends on the loyalty of all the people; the stability of the country depends on the harmony of diplomatic relations.

Today, I specially present a princess from a foreign country to you. Your Majesty’s benevolence and virtue are known throughout the world, and your prestige is known throughout the world. All foreign nations have heard of your Majesty’s wisdom and wisdom, and they admire the prosperity of our Great Yong.

Today, a princess from a foreign country has come from afar to pay homage to Your Majesty, which is truly a credit to the virtue of Your Majesty and your colleagues.

The princess's arrival brings with her the customs of foreign countries, enhances the elegance of our Great Yong, and promotes the integration of foreign cultures. Your Majesty accepts her to show your magnanimity, which is a display of the tolerance of our Great Yong."
