The Crown Prince came?
The Prince of Yu, Gu Qishao, came too?
For a moment, everyone looked outside the hall, very surprised.
Everyone thought that the Crown Prince would come with the Emperor and Empress, who knew that he would come with Prince Yu first.
This group of people was fighting for a position here, but when the Crown Prince and Prince Yu came, what Duke, what Imperial Uncle, what Imperial Uncle, all the positions were lowered.
Tang Li's face was originally full of anger, but when he heard the announcement, he was immediately overjoyed and happy!
In terms of poisonous tongue, he was absolutely poisonous to the people present, but his awkward status was not to be refuted.
However, when Gu came, it was different. Gu was the only Prince of Great Qin! He was the head of all the titles!
Gu's identity was also brought out, and everyone present had to lower themselves!
For the first time, Tang Li found that he could also like Gu so much!
Before the Crown Prince and Prince Yu came in, everyone had already stood up. When the Crown Prince and Prince Yu came in, everyone knelt down.
This was the etiquette of this place, and Tang Li and Ning Jing were no exception.
"Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Long live His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
Gu was wearing a brand-new red robe, which was specially inlaid with gold. He wore a lot of gold ornaments, even his hairpin was gold!
Red and gold together, it was as tacky as it could be! However, he was able to wear these two colors with a sense of gold and luxury. He was as showy as he could be!
This was specially ordered for Rui 'er's first birthday banquet!
He did not care about Northern Li, anyway, it was his godson's birthday, so he must make the place as big as possible, the bigger the better, it must be lively.
In fact, he could have arrived in Yunning last night, but because of this set of clothes, he was delayed for a night.
Little Rui 'er was sitting on Gu's right shoulder. He was wearing the purple robe his mother had specially prepared for him, looking extremely noble.
Although he was young and had an immature appearance, he sat high above on Gu's shoulder and looked down at the people kneeling on the ground. He did not show any fear. Instead, his cold and lonely face was filled with a heroic spirit that made people not dare to look directly at him.
Everyone remained kneeling as they waited for their masters to tell them to rise, but little Rui 'er didn't say a word. Meanwhile, Gu Qishao simply treated everyone as air.
All of their attention was on Tang Li's family of three.
Gu carried Rui 'er through the kneeling crowd and stood in front of Tang Li. He squatted down and asked suspiciously, "Tang Li, what are you doing?"
Tang Li looked up and said seriously, "Salute!"
"Hehe!"
Gu Qishao placed little Rui 'er in the main seat, then picked up little Tang Tang to sit on one side.
Rui 'er immediately jumped down from his seat and squatted in front of Tang Li, looking at him with his head tilted.
Everyone was kneeling, but they secretly looked up at the crown prince, not understanding what he was doing.
However, when Rui 'er spoke, everyone was shocked.
Rui 'er asked curiously, "Royal Uncle, Imperial Father said you don't have to kneel to me."
Royal Uncle!
Not to mention the people below, even Tang Li and Ning Jing were calm.
Although Royal Uncle was not a title or an official, it was just a form of address. However, the title of Royal Uncle was far more special than Imperial Uncle.
In the words' Royal Relatives', 'Royal Relatives' were the relatives of the royal family, the Emperor's in-laws; 'Imperial Relatives' were the Emperor's external relatives, the family of the concubines. The Imperial Uncle was considered an external relative, but Royal Uncle was an internal relative, the closest relative!
This identity was much more honorable than any title present!
If Long Fei Ye made Tang Li king, Baili Yuanlong would definitely object and ask for a throne for his son.
However, Rui 'er called Tang Li' Royal Uncle ', so Baili Yuanlong had nothing to say.
Royal Uncle was the purest form of address. If Rui 'er wanted to call Tang Li' Royal Uncle ', this was Rui' er's business and the royal family's business. None of the kneeling people were related to the royal family. They were all outsiders, so who dared to say anything? Who had the right to say anything?
If Baili Yuanlong wanted to complain, he could only blame himself for not being related to the royal family.
Long Feiye's move had caught everyone by surprise, but none of them could oppose it.
From today onwards, the Tang Sect would be placed in a special position because of Tang Li's identity.
The corners of Tang Li's mouth lifted, and he almost laughed out loud!
His brother had put in a lot of effort! He had given him such a great benefit, and yet he had hidden it until now.
He immediately pulled Ning Jing to her feet and sat back down in a dignified manner. "Aiyo, Lord Baili, Lord Xiao, the two of you are truly impressive! Both of you can see through His Majesty's intentions! His Majesty really didn't plan on leaving a seat for the Royal Uncle! "
Not to mention Baili Yuanlong and Xiao Dong, even Duke Cheng Guogong Xiao An's face was gloomy and very unhappy!
Tang Li sat in the secondary seat as the Royal Uncle, so it was perfectly justified!
With his status, Tang Li was much more spirited. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Crown Prince, it's time for the ministers to rise."
Rui 'er had really forgotten about this matter. He wasn't used to it.
Usually, when he met the people below, he would meet with his imperial father and imperial mother. When his imperial father and imperial mother told him to rise, he basically never did.
Rui 'er returned to the main seat and said in a childish voice with a serious expression, imitating his imperial father, "All rise!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone said in unison and stood up one after another. They just stood there, not daring to sit.
Rui 'er was a little confused and looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li was smug and cleared his throat again. "Ahem! Crown Prince, it's time for the ministers to be seated. "
Only then did Rui 'er understand. With a domineering attitude and a childish voice, he ordered loudly, "Everyone, sit down!"
Everyone was stunned. What was with the Crown Prince's attitude?
Although they were dissatisfied, they had to cooperate.
If it was normal for everyone to be seated, they would have said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
However, the Crown Prince had given the order, so everyone could only nod. "Yes, Your Highness!"
Looking at the ministers' helpless expressions, Ning Jing almost laughed out loud.
She finally saw through it. This scene looked like child's play and even a little ridiculous, but in reality, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were letting Rui 'er take the ministers down a notch!
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were reminding everyone, especially Baili Yuanlong and Xiao Dong, that the imperial family's authority was not to be challenged, and their orders were not to be disobeyed.
If Baili Yuanlong and Xiao Dong didn't know how to restrain themselves, Long Fei Ye wouldn't reason with them anymore. He wouldn't follow the rules, and would directly suppress them with his imperial power.
Although Jiangnan couldn't fall into chaos right now, and although Baili Yuanlong had a large number of troops, Long Fei Ye just didn't want war to break out again. It wasn't because he was afraid, and it wasn't because he couldn't deal with them!
Even an outsider like Ning Jing could see Long Fei Ye's intention of letting Rui 'er go first, let alone the others present.
After taking their seats, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Baili Yuanlong and Xiao An exchanged a few glances. Unfortunately, Baili Yuanlong didn't quite understand Xiao An's thoughts, and Xiao An didn't know what Baili Yuanlong was thinking either.
It wasn't appropriate for them to speak openly in this place, and with the crown prince here, it was even more inappropriate for them to leave.
Sitting behind Baili Yuanlong, Baili Lixiang saw her father and Clan Head Xiao exchanging flirtatious glances, but she didn't understand Xiao An's intentions either.
After a while, she stepped forward and whispered, "Father, His Majesty must've sensed that we're in contact with the Xiao Clan. As I see it, we should put off the matter with Northern Li for now. Clan Head Xiao should be thinking the same thing. "
"Mm." Baili Yuanlong would listen to his daughter.
"But the matter of the birthday banquet is all the empress's fault! This concerns the hearts of the people, we can't miss it! "Baili Lixiang whispered again.
Baili Yuanlong thought it made sense and nodded. "Alright, we'll follow the original plan."
At first, everyone was chatting in small groups, but once Gu and Rui 'er arrived, they couldn't speak carelessly.
Gu Qishao never cared who was present! He carried Rui 'er and little Tang Tang over and had them sit on his left and right thighs, chuckling as he teased them.
Now that Tang Li was the imperial uncle, he suddenly felt lonely at the top. With no one to provoke him, he was bored, so he brought over grapes and peeled them one by one, giving them to Ning Jing to eat.
All the civil and military officials in the court looked at them quietly, no one daring to make a sound.
If the crown prince was older, they could still flatter him. But he was only one year old. What could they flatter him for? They could only tease him! Who would dare?
As for Tang Li, he'd just clashed with Baili Yuanlong and the Xiao Clan. Anyone who bumped into him now might end up as a punching bag.
As for Gu, even Baili Yuanlong and Clan Head Xiao didn't dare speak to him.
As a result, everyone could only wait and wait!
There was still an hour before the banquet began!
Finally, someone came to save everyone. This person was none other than the Grand Tutor and Head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard, Gu Beiyue!
"Grand Tutor Gu has arrived!"
Upon hearing the eunuch's announcement, Rui 'er immediately jumped down from Gu's lap and rushed out as fast as he could.
Soon, everyone saw Gu Beiyue walk in. He was still the same, wearing snow-white robes and a calm and gentle expression. He was clearly a warm person, like the spring breeze in April, but after looking at him for a long time, he was like the lonely moon in the late autumn sky, high and far, unreachable.
Rui 'er hung on Gu Beiyue's back, rubbing his neck intimately.
Baili Yuanlong was convinced of Gu Beiyue's strength even though he was a descendant of the Shadow Clan. As for Clan Head Xiao An, who had opposed him in Medical City, he was not only convinced, but also fearful.
The two of them often thought how good it would be if Gu Beiyue wasn't a descendant of the Shadow Clan and wasn't Han Yunxi's subordinate!
When Gu Beiyue arrived, the tense atmosphere disappeared. Most people stood up and bowed to Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue also politely returned the greeting.
The Grand Tutor's rank wasn't high. Gu Beiyue bowed to those of a higher rank than him, and he was also very respectful to the four Guodukes.
The four Guodukes all stood up and responded politely.
Gu Beiyue had just arrived and hadn't rested for a day and night. As soon as he arrived, he heard that Gu and Rui 'er had arrived first. He didn't even have time to see Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi. He didn't even have time to rest and changed his clothes before coming over.
Gu and Tang Li were people who didn't mind making things worse. Moreover, Rui 'er was such a young child. How could he not worry?
