Chapter 507 Dressed to Show Off

Hou Xiaoxiao's words really touched the heart of Emperor Qingning, who clapped his hands and said, "Great, this is a good idea!"

"We need to let those grassland people know that they are worse than a beast!"

Panda, who was called a beast by Emperor Qingning in the iron cage, gritted his teeth and waited. At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he must slap this dog emperor.

The Queen Mother looked at the painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains by Panda and exclaimed in amazement, "This painting skill is beyond that of ordinary people."

She was the most superstitious person. Her face was radiant at this moment, and she was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet: "My Dasheng has such an auspicious beast. It is truly God's blessing to Dasheng!"

When Panda heard the words "auspicious beast", he felt much better. Well, the old woman the Queen Mother got slapped less.

Hou Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes with a smile on her lips. These two people were very smart, being able to come up with so many vicious schemes, and very stupid, with terribly old-fashioned ideas.

What's the point of being good at writing when someone wants to beat you up? When the fight comes, it's up to you to see whose fist is stronger. This kind of petty trick of humiliating others is just a momentary pleasure, and it makes the villain feel proud.

"Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is coming soon. The painters in the palace are the top painters in Dasheng. Why don't we let the painters in the palace teach this iron-eating beast how to paint?"

Hou Xiaoxiao suggested to Emperor Qingning.

"This..." Emperor Qingning looked at the huge iron-eating beast in front of him and hesitated: "It's good, but will it suddenly attack and hurt people during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?"

"This beast's temper is unpredictable."

"Your Majesty, since I dare to send this iron-eating beast into the palace, I have already anticipated all the risks."

Hou Xiaoxiao swore solemnly: "I guarantee that this iron-eating beast is docile and will never attack anyone."

"If your majesty is worried, I can write you an insurance letter of commitment. If this iron-eating beast suddenly goes berserk and causes casualties, my Jinxiao Chamber of Commerce will unconditionally pay for all losses and compensate you with 300,000 taels of silver."

Emperor Qingning and the Empress Dowager immediately sat up straight.

In fact, if there was this insurance letter of commitment, she would have hoped for something to happen. Anyway, she and the emperor would be heavily guarded on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and if anyone was injured, it would be others. The death of one or two people in exchange for 300,000 taels of silver was a very cost-effective deal.

Now the national treasury is empty and the military expenditure is huge. Emperor Qingning has to support an army of 100,000 under his command, and he also has to expand the army secretly to keep a few cards for himself. He is very short of money, and Hou Xiaoxiao is simply their cash cow.

The Queen Mother hypocritically advised: "Xiaoxiao, don't be like this. We have watched you grow up, and we trust what you say."

The emperor also pretended: "Yes, Xiaoxiao, your starting point is good, and you are also venting your anger for our Dasheng."

Hou Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart, it was just a polite remark. If she really took it seriously, these two cunning guys would not be happy.

"No, no, no, I still need to write a letter to express my sincerity!"

At this time, Zhou Jushan was very tactful and placed paper, ink, pen and inkstone in front of Hou Xiaoxiao.

Hou Xiaoxiao wrote furiously and finished a letter of insurance commitment. Her handwriting had improved a lot in the past three years and was now quite legible.

After Emperor Qingning received the insurance letter of commitment, he was secretly delighted, but he resisted the urge to not look at it and put it aside.

"Princess Jin, you have given me another pleasing gift this time, and I should give you something in return. Tell me, what do you want?"

Hou Xiaoxiao really looks down on the things in Emperor Qingning's hands now, as he has nothing.

"As long as it is a gift from the Emperor, I am happy."

Emperor Qingning was very happy to hear this, but he still pretended to be generous, "Go ahead and say it, don't be polite with me!"

Hou Xiaoxiao blinked and bowed: "Then I will make a bold request. I will be very satisfied if I can accompany the Empress Dowager during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, sit with her, and serve her food."

When the Queen Mother heard that Hou Xiaoxiao didn't want anything but to sit next to her, she smiled even brighter: "So you can't bear to leave me!"

Emperor Qingning was very cheerful and praised: "Princess Jin is a filial princess. She is a role model that all members of the royal family should learn from. I approve!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Queen Mother!"

Hou Xiaoxiao tightened her sleeves, already thinking about what type of gun to point at the empress dowager's head.

She glanced at Zhou Jushan inadvertently, then stepped back.

Then the Queen Mother left.

Zhou Jushan reported the latest news to Emperor Qingning: "Your Majesty, Lord Xue is back tonight as well."

"I heard that he came back very quietly, and went through the side door of Xue Mansion without making any announcement."

Emperor Qingning snorted coldly: "I gave him too much freedom and favoritism in the past, which made him forget who his master is."

"I don't know if Xue Wei has realized his mistake now, or is still holding a grudge against me in his heart."

Zhou Jushan rolled his eyes in his heart. You are a servant who never returns to his employ. There are many people who hate you.

Don’t eat at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, you’ll have a lot to eat.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

The time in the palace was set at Xu time, and the distinguished guests attending the palace banquet began to enter the palace one after another at You time.

After lunch break, everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion started to get busy.

Jiang Lili knew that tonight was destined to be a restless night, so she slept until lunch time, had some brunch, and then let Lingzhi dress her up.

Lingzhi's deft hands shuttled through Jiang Lili's black hair, with an expectant look on her face: "Today's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is the first time that the Crown Prince's Consort will appear in front of these noble ladies since returning to Beijing. It must be stunning and grand!"

After saying that, Lingzhi opened Jiang Lili's jewelry boxes piled up like a mountain one by one and asked her to choose. Jiang Lili liked it at first sight. It was the pear blossom dyed gold hairpin that Xin Che customized for her on her birthday. This hairpin was gorgeous and precious but not tacky, and it looked very beautiful.

But Jiang Lili changed her mind and put the hairpin back.

Jiang Yi thought about going out for a big night, so she shook her head and said, "No, just dress simply. Don't wear too many jewels. Choose clothes that are light and easy to move in."

Lingzhi looked puzzled.

At this time, Xin Che walked in. He walked to Jiang Lili's side, took her hand, and placed the gorgeous pear blossom-dyed gold hairpin that Jiang Lili had just put away in her palm: "You can wear whatever beautiful clothes and wear whatever jewelry you want. You don't have to worry too much about the palace banquet tonight."

Jiang Lili tilted her head and looked at him in surprise.

Xin Che rubbed her head with his big hand: "Don't bother our little deity to take action tonight. Let a mortal like me take care of the affairs of the mortal world."

"You are dressed up beautifully, just sit and watch. If you dress more impressively, it will be easier for you to show off and vent your anger."
