Chapter 57: All favored by the emperor

Hearing the conversation between the two, many ministers below couldn't help but mutter in their hearts.

No wonder the emperor doted on Ning Xiaowang so much, and the little prince is too good at talking. Just a few words can make the emperor so happy.

Of course, if this was replaced by someone else, the emperor would definitely have someone pulled out to play the board long ago.

After all, their emperor's usual style of vigorous and resolute is not a gentle and loving master, and pampering is also divided into people.

The few princes were not happy in their hearts. Their father had always only shown Ning Xi's appearance and love for the younger generation. How could they not be jealous and hateful.

Jing Yi was used to it for a long time, and expressed his gratification that Ning Xi was able to continue to please his father and emperor, but he was not so envious and jealous like other princes and princesses.

Many children of noble families standing on the right now really realize how much the emperor loves Ning Xiaowang. No wonder she dares to act recklessly in Kyoto but not many people dare to control it. This is all the emperor's favor.

At this moment, Eunuch Yuan leaned over to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, the time to sacrifice to the sky is coming soon!"

Only then did the emperor let go of Ning Xi's hand, and gave her a follow-up look, then stood up and regained his previous imperial aura, "All Aiqings, follow me to the altar to worship the sky and worship our ancestors."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A group of people followed the emperor and walked towards the specially built altar. The emperor followed the prince and Ning Xi to the lower left, and the others followed in the order of their identities and positions.

Although this world does not have so many restraints and requirements on women, it is considered to be very open, but in such major sacrificial occasions, except for the queen, women's family members generally do not participate, and can only wait to participate in the subsequent palace banquet.

After the death of the first empress, the emperor did not straighten the other concubines, so today there are no women in the harem.

The procedure for the altar was very complicated, and the emperor led the crowd to complete it. Ning Xi did not approach Jing Feng as before, but followed the emperor obediently until the sacrifice was completed two hours later.

After the sacrifice, the emperor led the crowd away again, and it was almost time for lunch.

"Prince, Ning Xi, Jing Han, Yan Qin, Li Zefei, and Yue Zheng stayed to accompany me to dine, and the others retreated first." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The others did not dare to show their thoughts, and could only envy the few who remained.

On such a big festival, the emperor must have someone to accompany him at lunch, and whoever can stay is an honor.

Among the people who remained, except for the prince and Ning Xi, the other four were definitely the best among the younger generation in terms of family background and ability, but not many people were jealous.

As for the prince, although he is mediocre, where his identity is placed, no one is dissatisfied.

It's just that many people in Ningxi are still not very happy in their hearts. How can this scoundrel He De be so favored? It's not because of a better family background and a good father.

As we all know, Ning Xi's father used to be close friends with the emperor when he was young, and he was also the emperor's exclusive war beast master. Many people thought that Ning Xi's favor and attention by the emperor had a lot to do with the famous genius of Ning Wangfu.

But this is something they can't envy, so they can only look at it with envy.

A banquet was also prepared in the palace. The ministers, children of noble families and their families would eat something separately in the palace. After an hour of rest, the palace banquet in the afternoon would officially begin.
