Chapter 321 - 321 322 Time to Marry Off the Princes
?Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Time to Marry Off the Princes Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Time to Marry Off the Princes The Empress Dowager decided to temporarily reside within the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, and immediately had someone clean up a room for her, close to the Emperor’s quarters.
The servants of the mansion dared not neglect her needs, and quickly arranged another room. Everything inside the room was personally chosen by the Empress Dowager’s maid, which amounted to taking out all the treasures of the mansion.
Glancing at the feeble Emperor, the Empress Dowager cleared her throat and spoke, “I have decided to host an imperial birthday banquet for the Emperor in this mansion, to dispel the bad luck. What are your thoughts?”
The Empress and Pei Chengye, Pei Jingyi, and the others looked up in surprise but quickly bowed their heads again to adjust their emotions upon realizing that their reaction was somewhat inappropriate.
Pei Chengye was worried that hosting the birthday banquet at Pei Huaian’s mansion would make the ministers favor him even more. “Imperial Grandmother, your son has something to say.”
“Speak,” the Empress Dowager glanced at him indifferently, offering him no excess eye contact or words.
“Your son feels that the Emperor’s birthday banquet should more properly be held in the imperial palace. The mansion here has limited space, not to mention the hassle, so your grandson suggests…”
“Smack!” The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table, causing the tea cups on it to tremble.
