"The Emperor is here."

Hua Ju was talking to the officials when he suddenly heard the eunuch's shouts. The scene immediately became quiet, and everyone stood with their heads facing the direction Huizong came.

A team of imperial guards first came out and stood on both sides, followed by the eunuchs and palace maids, and then Huizong came out. He walked to the dragon throne with Wu Chenghai to stand at the ministers. The ministers held their fists and said respectfully:

Please see Your Majesty.”

"You are all fair." Huizong said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Huizong sat down, he said, "Please sit down, everyone, too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone sat down, the palace maids began to serve wine and food.

Yuan Lang, Teng Kan, Lu Feng, Shan Shiqi, Qiao Lie also participated in the banquet set up by Wang Qing and Tian Hu. Those banquets were considered rare and delicious in the past. Until now, they saw these wines and dishes in front of them.

I realized that the banquets held by Wang Qing and Tian Hu were nothing at all. This is the real delicacies of mountains and delicacies and the best in the world.

"After all, it is an orthodox palace banquet, not comparable to those of Wang Qing and Tian Hu. Thanks to our meeting Lord Hua, we have the opportunity to see the real palace banquet." Yuan Lang and others thought.

After all the wine and food were served, Wu Chenghai poured a glass of wine for Huizong. Huizong raised it to face the ministers and said, "You are the best at suppressing the rebellion and suppressing the thieves. I wish you a cup."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers raised the wine glass and toasted Hui Zongyao for a while, and then everyone drank the wine together.

Huizong put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Dear everyone, don't be stubborn, just take it easy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Huizong then looked at Wu Chenghai, who shouted at the top of his voice: "Play music and dance."

The musician had been waiting on both sides for a long time. As Wu Chenghai's voice fell, the silk and bamboo wind music sounded, and the dancers in the palace entered the venue and began to dance gracefully.

Everyone was enjoying the dance and drinking, and everyone's face was filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially Yuan Lang, Teng Kan, Yu, Qiao Lie, Tang Bin and others were even more excited, because they never dreamed that one day they would sit in the palace of the Song Dynasty to enjoy the royal dance. This moment for them

It's like dreaming.

After a few dances, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became increasingly popular. The officials began to leave their tables to toast each other. Of course, Hua Jue was the one who was toasted the most. Fortunately, it was not the first time he attended the palace banquet, and there was already

After experience, he had already taken medicine to learn about alcohol when he came. Otherwise, so many officials would like to pay attention to him, even if he had a good alcohol tolerance, he would have to be drunk.

After Hua Ju and the civil and military officials drank, he held the wine glass and began to toast Lu Junyi and the others. After all, he could wipe out Wang Qing and Tian Hu so quickly, all thanks to Lu Junyi and the others to fight the enemy. Without their strong help, it would be impossible.

Immediately wipe out Wang Qing and Tian Hu.

Hua Ju had just finished drinking with the generals and was about to return to his seat to sit down when he suddenly saw Huizong coming over with Wu Chenghai and others, and hurried forward to salute. Huizong smiled gently

He waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to go to court, so there is no need for so many etiquettes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Ju said.

Huizong looked at Lu Junyi and smiled and said, "Your family has made contributions to following Wenshan to suppress bandits. I will also come to pay a cup of respect to you."

Lu Junyi quickly knelt down and said in fear: "How dare I feel Your Majesty's toast?"

Huizong said, "What's the point of not daring to be just a glass of wine? Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Junyi stood up and took the wine glass up and drank one with Huizong. Of course, Huizong just sucked it lightly, and he drank it all.

Then, Huizong held a wine glass, and one general and one clinked the glass with everyone symbolically and drank one.

When he walked to Qiongying, Qiongying held up the wine glass with both hands. Huizong clinked the glass with her and drank the wine. He looked at Qiongying and asked, "How old is it?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I will be seventeen in two months." Qiongying said.

"this

It’s really hard for you to experience so many things at such a young age.”

Huizong said to Hua Jue with emotion: "She is about the same age as Nuer, but her experience is much more difficult than Nuer. If it weren't for the imperial army to wipe out Tian Hu, she wouldn't know how long she would stay in the thief's den.

, The future fate is hard to predict.

Tian Xing led his troops to wipe out Tian Hu, and she no longer had to live a worried life in that thief's den."

Seeing that Huizong felt pity for Qiongying, Hua Ju had an idea in her heart, so she said, "Yes, General Qiongying's parents were killed when he was young, and later he was kidnapped as his daughter by his enemies. That kind of bitterness and sadness

Sorrow is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Although he has avenged his parents, he is now alone and has no relatives, which is really heartbreaking."

After hearing Hua Jue's words, Huizong looked at Qiongying and said, "Since you have no relatives now, I will be your relatives. Your age is about the same age as my daughter, so I will accept you as my adopted daughter.

From now on, you will be my daughter, are you willing?"

"ah!"

Qiongying was stunned when he heard Huizong's words, because he never dreamed that Huizong would accept her as his adopted daughter.

What Hua Jue wanted was Huizong's words and said quickly: "General Qiongying, Your Majesty wants to accept you as your adopted daughter, why don't you kneel down and thank you quickly."

"Little master, kneel down and thank you quickly." Ye Qing next to him also hurriedly reminded.

"What, don't you want to be my daughter?" Huizong asked.

Qiongying came back to her senses at this time and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty can accept me as her adopted daughter, which is a great blessing for me. Why would I not want to do it? I was just surprised for a moment, so I didn't reply.

Come to your mind, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you.”

Huizong actually guessed that Qiongying was shocked, so he was not angry at all. He reached out and helped her up and said, "From now on, you will be my daughter. I will give you the title of Princess Rongshun."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiongying said kneeling.

Hua Ju smiled and said, "You should say thank you now for your father."

"Daughter thanks my father." Qiongying immediately changed her mouth.

Huizong was very happy when he heard Qiongying's voice, so he reached out to help her up, then took her to his dragon throne in front, and said to the ministers below: "Dear everyone, let's be quiet, I have something to do.

I want to announce to you."

The ministers who were toasting each other all calmed down and looked at Huizong together.

Huizong looked at Qiongying who was standing beside him and said, "I have accepted Qiu Qiongying as my adopted daughter and named her Princess Rongshun. In the future, when all the Qing families see her, they must be called princess."

"I will obey the order."

Then the ministers clasped their fists to Qiongying and said, "Greetings to Princess Rongshun."

Qiongying said in panic: "Don't be too polite for you, sir."

"Thank you," said the ministers.

Huizong then called the prince Zhao Huan to the front and said, "From now on, Qiongying will be your sister. His parents were harmed by thieves since childhood. He lived in the thief's nest for so many years, and he experienced ups and downs. You, the elder brother.

You should care more about her in the future."

Zhao Huan said, "Don't worry, Father, and I will definitely take good care of Qiongying's sister in the future."

Following him to Qiongying, he smiled and said, "If there is anything in the future, just go to the East Palace to find Brother Wei. Brother Wei will definitely help you with it."

"Thank you, Prince." Qiongying said.

Zhao Huan said, "Sister, don't be hindered, just call me elder brother."

Huizong also said: "Yes, the title of prince is only used in major and formal occasions, and it is the only way to be called brother and sister in private."

"Daughter, remember." Qiongying said with a slight bow.

Huizong said, "I have many other children, but they did not come to the banquet today. After the banquet is over, I will introduce them to you, and you will have more brothers and sisters in the future."

"Yes." Qiongying responded.

One hour later, the banquet ends

Shu, except for Qiongying being taken to the inner palace by Huizong to meet other children and concubines, the other civil and military officials, Hua Ju and the generals all left the palace and went home.

The next day, Hua Ju got up early to go to court. After the morning court, Huizong called him to the imperial study room and told him about the intention of Zhao Kai, Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng to rebel.

"Wenshan, do you have any way to capture those two ruthless ministers and those ruthless sons from the Liao Kingdom?" Huizong asked.

Hua Ju said: "At present, my sons have no choice. After all, our relationship with the Liao Kingdom is here, and they will not listen to us. At this time, we cannot send troops to attack them immediately, so we are only

I can let them stay in Liao Kingdom."

When Huizong heard that Hua Jue had no way to capture Zhao Kai, Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng from the Liao Kingdom, he said disappointedly: "I am really unwilling to let those three traitors be so careless."

"The Father doesn't have to be angry about them."

Seeing that Huizong was still angry about this incident, Hua Jue said, "The civil strife in the Song Dynasty has now subsided. As long as we can restore our national strength as soon as possible, we can take the initiative to attack the Liao Kingdom. At that time, the ministers can not only rebel.

You have captured the three rebel ministers, and they can also take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, so that their father can comfort Taizu, Taizong and his ancestors of all generations." t.

Huizong nodded gently and said, "Then how can we recover our national strength as soon as possible?"

Hua Ju said: "Now officials from all over the country have implemented the policies formulated by the court, and the lives of the people have gradually recovered. But this alone is far from enough. The court should also introduce more policies to encourage and support agriculture, medical care, and smelting.
