C421 Do you forget (1/2)
Xiao Zhenhai smiled. Today, he was going to personally make a move and let her know what the three words' Xiao Zhenhai 'signified.
”Uncle, cousin …” Lian Shiya leisurely walked in front of Xiao Zhenhai and respectfully said with a nod.
Xiao Zhenhai looked at her and nodded. He revealed a satisfied expression and replied, ”En.” Finally, he gave her another look and asked, ”Are you ready?”
”Yes.” Lian Shiya understood tacitly.
”Master, the madame …” At this moment, the servant of the Lian Residence rushed in and said, ”The people in front said it. The emperor, the emperor, along with esteemed empress Zhao and the princess have come.”
What? The Emperor came?
Suddenly, everyone was shocked. The emperor had personally come to attend Lian Xiang's birthday banquet. It seemed that Lian Xiang's position in the imperial court would surpass the position of the Duke of Xiao!
He hurriedly said to his nephew, ”Quickly, get ready. Go kneel at the gate and greet them.”
Thus, he and his mother hurriedly returned to the inner room to change clothes. Her mother had changed into the official uniform of the first wife of the First-grade. With the support of Senior Servant Song and Huang Cen, she hurried to the entrance and knelt at the entrance with her sons, ready to greet them.
Lian Fu and Lian Ruyue, the legitimate children, kneeled at the back. All the officials in the banquet hall kneeled down to welcome them, while the princes and princesses went to the main entrance to welcome them one by one.
”The emperor has arrived!”
After about two quarters of an hour, a bright yellow carriage appeared before everyone's eyes. Ahead of them were the imperial guards led by the leader of the imperial palace, Jiang Keji. The emperor didn't want to be too high-profile, so he didn't have many people accompanying him.
Not long later, the curtains of the sedan chair were opened and Emperor Zhou Cheng, who was dressed in a purple robe with a narrow collar, walked out with a pleasant expression.
”Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
Everyone was so angry that they knelt down and shouted loudly. At that moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire Prime Minister's Estate.
”Rise.” Zhou Cheng Di raised his hand and said.
”Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace.”
His eyes reddened, and he said gratefully, ”Your Majesty, this humble subject is truly terrified. This humble subject loves you so dearly, but this humble subject can only report after my brain has been wiped clean.”
”Even the prime minister has gone to great lengths to help the imperial court. It is only natural for us to come and celebrate your birthday. Hahaha.” The emperor stepped forward and used one hand to help Lian Yanqing up before saying to his mother —
”Please rise, madame.”
”Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace.” Even his mother's voice was trembling. This was the first time the emperor had personally come to celebrate his official's birthday. To the Lian family, this was an enormous honor.
Lian Ruyue lowered her head and raised her eyes to look. Although Zhou Chengdi was not an enlightened ruler, he was still very good at using the Emperor's Balancing Technique. He would be respectful when he needed to be so.
After that, Lian Zhaoyi and Princess Thirteen, Feng Ziyao, appeared in front of the crowd and were helped off the carriage by the mama.
