Chapter 1855 The Day Will Come when Old Age and Beauty Will Eventually Fade Away
Zhao Yuanjing only glanced at it, closed the lid, and said calmly: "That's it?"
"This piece of Hetian jade is of excellent quality..."
"I know." Zhao Yuanjing interrupted her, paused, and finally said nothing, "That's all."
There are thousands of ministers below. Even if he is dissatisfied, he cannot act too stingy in public.
The banquet officially began, as usual there were songs and dances from various places, and there were also many beauties dancing and playing the piano. Most of them are beauties searched by ministers. It is obvious what the purpose of these ministers is.
They all want to swarm people around the emperor.
It's a pity that their cold and cold Emperor has no intention of accepting the "good intentions" of his ministers.
He always had a calm expression. Although he was celebrating his birthday, he didn't feel happy at all. A man was holding a cup of tea, leaning against the back of a chair, with an expressionless face and cold eyes.
It seemed that the bustling scene in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Yun Dai looked at him from time to time.
Zhao Yuanjing lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup, and said calmly: "Even if the queen likes me, she doesn't have to stare at me like this in public. I can let you watch as much as you want tonight."
Yun Dai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, can I go down and talk to my grandfather and the others?"
Although they live together in Kyoto, she has few opportunities to go out, and it is rare for her to see relatives from her maternal grandfather's family.
Zhao Yuanjing said: "You can go if you want, I will never take care of you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yun Dai immediately put down her half-eaten snack, got up and walked out of her seat.
Everyone was already drunk with wine, and although they did not dare to be presumptuous, it was normal for them to talk and toast to each other.
Everyone also has some understanding of the Queen's temperament. It was only natural for her to go to her own grandfather to talk. No one cares either.
Yun Dai ran to Mr. Ming Laohou and said with a smile: "Grandpa, how do you like the wine today?"
The old Marquis of Ming Dynasty said with a smile: "The wine is not bad. But, Girl Dai, if you have any grievances, please tell me."
"I'm not wronged."
"Really?" Mr. Ming Lao Hou glanced in the direction of Jun Yuexi.
It's hard not to notice such a dazzling beauty.
Yun Dai smiled and said: "Grandpa, don't worry too much. No matter how many people come to the palace, they can't make me suffer."
Tian smiled and said: "What Dai'er said is true. Yan'er is the prince now. Even if there are other princes in the future, they cannot go beyond Yan'er. What's more, Dai'er is the princess of Northern Qi. How can her status be comparable to that of ordinary women? Dad You just love worrying.”
Mr. Ming Lao Hou took a sip of wine and said nothing.
He is a man and he understands men.
This emperor has been emperor for three years and is now only twenty-four, still too young.
He still has decades to be the emperor. No matter how beautiful Dai'er is, she will eventually become old and lose her beauty. When the other princes grow up, what will happen to their mother and son?
With the emperor's physical condition, it would not be a problem to be emperor for another fifty years.
Yan'er will be over fifty by then, what else can he compete with those young and strong princes?
As the emperor's married wife, she had an advantage in the early stage, but when the emperor got older, the married wife would also become old and lose her beauty, and there would be a steady stream of young and delicate women in the palace.
But he couldn't say these words to his granddaughter, he was just worried in his heart.
"You, don't be too arrogant. Don't be too tolerant. When you should establish your authority, you must establish your authority, and when you dare to stop it, you must stop it." Old Marquis Ming said.
He meant that she should stop Jun Yuexi from becoming a concubine.
