Chapter 181: Feast

Qin Jiu got up with everyone, Shanhu Long live. Emperor Qing took his seat and announced the start of the feast.
Today's banquet is missing two important people in previous years, namely Yan Su and Yan Min. From the pale face of Emperor Qing, the emperor's body was declining day by day, and I don't know whether it was caused by his mood, or was caused by Xiao Le Baiqin's injury that night at Mingyue Villa.
Shang Chuchu glanced at Emperor Qing, then focused his gaze on Yan Yu, and muttered in a low voice: "Sister Qin, I didn't expect this king Yan who had left Lijing City since the age of eight. In the end, he was the most It's really unpredictable for people who might aspire to the throne!"
Shang Sisi scolded coldly: "Chu Chu, is this also what you can say?"
Shang Chuchu hurriedly covered his mouth, rolled his big eyes around, and made a grimace at Shang Sisi. Shang Sisi didn't look at Shang Chuchu anymore, tilted his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Yan Yu at the front of the hall. Unlike Shang Chuchu, Shang Sisi is cold and introverted, but Qin Jiu was a little surprised when she stared at Yan Yu at this time. If she is right, there is a deep feeling in Shang Sisi's eyes, and she seems to be suppressing it secretly, but when the water is full, it will overflow. When the feeling is deep enough, it is difficult to suppress it.
It turned out that it was not Nie Ren that Shang Sisi fell in love with, but Yan Yu!
At this moment, Qin Jiu understood why Shang Sisi was against him, which was the reason. She smiled softly, her smile extremely vague. Yan Yu and Shang Sisi are a perfect match. They really match each other.
After Si Wufang presented a song and dance, the courtiers began to offer birthday gifts one by one. After the three rounds of drinking, the chief Li Ying ordered Si Le Fang to stop playing music, and all the officials knew that Emperor Qing had something to say, and the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the emperor.
Emperor Qing coughed a few times, and then said loudly: "In recent days, my body has become more and more unwell, and the state affairs may be difficult to manage. This time, in the rebellion of the Tianchen Sect, King Yan has done a good job in saving and driving. Give it to King Yan, assisted by the veterans, and assist in state affairs...cough cough..." Emperor Qing coughed heavily.
Although Emperor Qing has not formally issued an edict to establish Yan Yu as the emperor's first brother, he has already discussed with the important officials in the court. Now, Emperor Qing has given Yan Yu the power to supervise the country. It is the general trend. Therefore, when Emperor Qing finished speaking, no courtier expressed any objection.
Qin Jiu had been listening with his head down. When Emperor Qing coughed and was about to say something, Qin Jiu suddenly got up from his seat, walked out of the screen, and stood in front of the hall.
"Qin Jiu, do you have something to say?" Emperor Qing asked unexpectedly.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly. She deliberately didn't look at Yan Yu who was sitting on the side of Emperor Qing's seat, but for some reason, she could still feel that she was covered by his gaze, unable to hide or move. She took a deep breath and said in a clear voice: "Today, your Majesty’s birthday, in my capacity, was originally not qualified to offer a gift to your Majesty. But I want to give a gift to your Majesty on behalf of the White Queen who went to the immortal. I hope your Majesty can accept it."
Emperor Qing seemed extremely surprised. He glanced at her with a complicated expression, "It's really an accident that I can receive the gift from the White Queen today. I just don't know what the gift is?" His eyes passed Qin Jiu. But she saw that there was nothing else in her hand except a thick wad of rice paper.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly and said to Emperor Qing: "It is these portraits in my hand, please have a look."
The chief Li Ying presented the portrait of Qin Jiu and placed it on the table in front of Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing's gaze flicked across the portraits, his eyebrows jumped as if frightened, the knuckles of the fingers holding the portraits were pale and protruding, and they trembled slightly.
This is a portrait of a man from the day he was born to a boy. Each one is lifelike, as if the person is right in front of you. Until the last few pictures, he saw that this was a portrait of Qin Feihua. What he couldn’t believe was that the first picture of the newly-born baby boy was actually the same as the one born to the White Queen in his memory. The emperor's appearance overlapped. The child lost his breath on the day he was born, and the last appearance has been imprinted in his mind for so many years, he has not been forgotten. His gaze flicked over the last inscription of each portrait, which was written by the White Queen to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, remember, did the White Queen give birth to a prince for you?" Qin Jiu asked slowly.
Emperor Qing said with a trembling voice: "I naturally remember it. It's just that the emperor's fate is no longer alive."
"Your Majesty may not know that the White Queen gave birth to not one prince, but two. Because she was drugged when she was pregnant, one of her sons lost his breath on the day he was born. The other child was also poisoned in the womb. Seeing that he was also facing an early death, the White Queen entrusted him to Situ Zhen and asked him to take him out of the palace to be treated. Because of fear of being murdered, the White Queen had to conceal the news that she had given birth to twins. After he was cured, the White Queen was afraid that her majesty would be more sorrowful when she knew it, so she did not tell her. Later, Situ Zhen sent people to look for a traveler on the rivers and lakes, and finally healed his poison when he was more than ten years old. I was thinking about telling your Majesty the good news on the day of your Majesty’s birthday three years ago, but I never thought that something happened to the White Queen that year, and she had no chance to report this matter to her Majesty. The White Queen has always been wronged, and I dare not report the matter to her Majesty and ask her to forgive her.
Qin Jiu's words were no less than a stone that caused a thousand waves of waves, and everyone was stunned by this incident. The air pressure in the hall seemed to be extremely low in an instant, because everyone was holding their breath.
Emperor Qing took a few breaths and clenched his hands, "So, the Qin Feihua you painted is my four emperors?" The one of the twins who died early is the third emperor.
Qin Jiu nodded.

He grew up in Situ’s family since he was a child, and he named Situ Yi, which is Yan Yi. Every year the White Queen sends someone to Situ’s house to make a painting for him. It is the paintings in his hands. Your Majesty, if you have committed a crime The guilty person was not the four princes, but the ministers. I asked him to pass the exam by impersonating Qin Feihua’s identity. At that time, the case of the Bai family had not yet been revealed. How dare I tell your majesty his true identity? I had to impersonate Qin. Extraordinary identity. Please your majesty punish the ministers, but please forgive the crimes of the four princes, because he did not know his life experience since he was a child, and he only recently told him. Someone heard that he is the grandson of Situ Zhen, so he is in the case of the Bai family Your Majesty has turned the law for favoritism. Please check this out. The four princes have been upright since he was a child. All the cases of the Bai family are on the books. The evidence is conclusive. If there is any favoritism, your Majesty can send someone to investigate."
After Qin Jiu finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the hall.
After a while, someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, if Qin Feihua is indeed the four princes of His Majesty, that would be a great happy event!"
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to ask your Majesty to send someone to the prison to release Master Qin. The doctor will consult to determine whether Master Qin is the prince of your majesty."
Some officials reacted, admonishing them one by one.
Emperor Qing nodded, and immediately sent someone to the prison to bring the durian.
When the durian in prison uniform came in, the feast was halfway through, but everyone was unwilling to drink the feast, and their eyes fell on the durian. At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that this young man, with his extremely clear eyes and the heroic air falling between his brows, was indeed very similar to the White Queen. Back then, no one of them had noticed it!
"Your Majesty, I know that the imperial doctor has its own way to verify whether Yan Yi is the blood of his majesty, and I implore all imperial doctors to verify." Qin Jiu said in a clear voice.
Emperor Qing nodded, and left the hall with the other imperial doctors.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Qin Jiu slowly retreated to his seat and took a seat next to Shang Chuchu.
"Sister Qin, is this true? Extraordinarily, he is the fourth prince? He is the child of the White Queen?" Shang Chuchu reached out and grabbed Qin Jiu's wrist, and asked nervously.
Qin Jiu smiled, "Yes."
"So, can he be pardoned for his crime of deceiving the emperor?" Shang Chuchu asked happily. She was not happy that Durian was the prince, but that he finally did not have to go to jail.
Qin Jiu squeezed Shang Chuchu's wrist with a smile, and said with a smile: "Whether he is a prince or a commoner, Chu Chu doesn't dislike him, right?"
Shang Chuchu's cheeks reddened, and he nodded lightly.
Shang Sisi suddenly put the wine cup in his hand on the table and placed it heavily on the table. He raised his eyes to look at Qin Jiu, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, "Extraordinary marriage, that Li Tiezui is really an iron mouth. Extraordinary person!"
Obviously, Shang Sisi had guessed that Li Tiezui was Qin Jiu's order that day, and that the marriage between Durian and Shang Chuchu was arranged by Qin Jiu. Indeed, if Durian did not have the identity of the Fourth Prince, Shang Sisi would naturally not think of this level. Nowadays, durian is obviously the prince who can win the prince. Naturally, it is easy for people to think that it is to use the power of Yunshao country.
Although Shang Chuchu is simpler, she is not a dull person. As soon as she heard Shang Sisi's words, she also thought of other meanings in the words, but she did not blame Qin Jiu at all, holding Qin Jiu's arm and said: "Anyway, I know that Sister Qin is all for the extraordinary and my good."
Qin Jiu smiled faintly, with picturesque eyebrows, "Chu Chu is right, so you and Extraordinary must be good."
Shang Sisi glanced at Shang Chuchu like an idiot.
Emperor Qing and the imperial doctors returned to the hall again. Emperor Qing personally announced the results verified by the imperial doctors. Qin Feihua was indeed the blood of Emperor Qing.
This result quickly caused repercussions among all the officials in the hall. All officials knelt down, Shanhu Long live, congratulating Emperor Qing on finding the lost prince. Some ministers even excitedly said that the emperor's heir is hopeful.
Qin Jiu stood in the hall, and did not look at Yan Yu again. But even if she didn't look at it, she could feel the sensation of his gaze piercing her body, and that gaze was so substantial that it pierced her with pain all over her limbs.
