Chapter 611: Chapter 594 Birthday Banquet Begins_1

Then, the mourning hall was filled with another wave of heart-wrenching sobs.

Su Pan’er’s eyes were especially dry, her heart was full of tears, but she just couldn’t shed them.

It was only after she inserted three incense sticks that she gently moved her feet and walked to the coffin, softly stroking it with her hand.

"Brother Ye, thank you for saving me and Yan Yan, and for saving our family. I am here to see you and I brought Yan Yan to see her uncle too! Are you happy?"

"You always said that you owed me a life, but now, it is we who owe you two."

"You must take good care of yourself there! Yan Yan is very obedient and has grown so much, and got a lot whiter..."

As Su Pan’er slowly spoke, recounting their past moments, it was as if she could see Ye Han standing in front of the coffin again, still as gallant as ever, and his eyes, full of tenderness...

She couldn’t help but place her hand on the lid of the coffin, attempting to push it open. But she was held back by Qin Yi.

"Brother Ye has been gone for such a long time, I fear..."

Qin Yi hesitated, then added in a meaningful tone: "Pan’er, let him rest."

Su Pan’er’s gaze finally settled on Qin Yi’s face, she then threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, turning into a river of tears!

The surrounding people also wiped their tears again and again.

Three days later, Ye Han’s funeral took place.

Originally, the Ye family’s ancestral home was in Suzhou. However, due to certain events in the past, Ye Han had to venture alone towards the south and eventually made a name for himself. But until his death, he harbored no good feelings towards the Ye family. Qin Yi, being a long-standing friend of Ye Han, naturally knew the inside story. Therefore, when the Ye Family tried to take Ye Han’s coffin to their ancestral tomb for burial, Qin Yi stopped them!

Ye Han had an aversion for the Ye family, and naturally wouldn’t wish to be buried in the Ye family’s ancestral tomb after death. Qin Yi reported this matter to His Majesty who then specifically ordered a small hill on the south side of the city to serve as Ye Han’s final resting place.

After Ye Han was peacefully buried, Su Pan’er, worn out, collapsed on the edge of the bed and fell asleep.

That night, she suddenly developed a high fever.

The fever raged for several days, making her feel faint and dizzy.

In the meantime, Jun Ruoxue and her brother came to visit her. Following them, Mrs. Zhang, young Mrs. Jun, and Old Mrs. Hua came as well. His Majesty’s gifts kept flowing into the Qin mansion, much like a river.

Qin Yi was busy!

As His Majesty’s birthday drew near, he had to take care of the ill Su Pan’er, look after the baby Yan Yan, and also find time to deal with those frustratingly complex factions within the court.

Illness strikes as abruptly as a collapsing mountain and recedes as slowly as drawn-out silk!

Just as Su Pan’er finally recovered from the fever, the day of His Majesty’s birthday banquet had arrived.

This bout of sickness had left Su Pan’er so thin she was skin and bones.

Her fox eye-shaped eyes appeared even larger, and apart from her full bosom, there was hardly any flesh left on her.

However, they could not miss attending His Majesty’s birthday festivities, so Qin Yi and Su Pan’er prepared themselves.

Early in the morning, the couple changed out of their mourning clothes into their court robes, and rode a carriage straight to the imperial palace.

His Majesty’s birthday brought prosperity to the city of Shengjing, creating an atmosphere of peace and harmony both inside and outside the city. However, behind this prosperity was an undercurrent of murderous intent, so dense it left people gasping for air.

Today’s birthday banquet was being held in the Imperial Garden.

His Majesty was in high spirits today, seated on the dragon throne, casting his gaze all around, engaging in much pleasantries as he welcomed the officials who had rushed to come from various places. Then, countless princes and ministers began to offer their birthday respects.

These birthday respects naturally required birthday gifts.

The order of those who came forward to pay their respects also revealed their closeness with the Emperor.

The first person to come forward to offer birthday wishes was Prince Xuan, accompanied by Princess Consort Xuan, leading Qin Hong and Qin Ru to pay their respects.

"My sincere wish for your majesty is to have blessings as deep as the East Sea and longevity as enduring as the South Mountain!"

Everyone bowed and intoned in unison.

"You may rise, you all are dismissed!"

His Majesty was in a good mood today and casually called up the family of Prince Xuan. Prince Xuan took advantage of this opportunity to present his unique gift.

Prince Xuan’s gift was a beautifully crafted jade horse. The jade sculpture of the valuable steed, neighing with a rearing hoof, appeared extraordinarily lively, which won continual praises from His Majesty.

Imperial Consort Fei’er was in good spirits at the moment, having been smiling and nodding slightly at Su Pan’er since she appeared. Several times he wanted to speak but was halted by an elderly man beside him. He could only lower his head in disappointment.

When it was his turn to present a gift, he presented one that he had prepared well in advance.

"Hahaha! It’s rare to see Fei’er being so thoughtful. Come, let me see, what gift has Fei’er prepared for me."

His Majesty laughed and opened the box.

In the box was a Manuscript of the Lotus Sutra. His Majesty was slightly stunned, then picked up the Lotus Sutra from the box, examined it carefully, and was instantly overjoyed.

"It turns out that Fei’er has personally obtained the Lotus Sutra for me, what a precious thing it is! It’s rare that you can be so thoughtful, truly rare indeed!"

"To pray for blessings for your majesty is the duty of your subjects."

Fei’er spoke these words especially seriously, which made His Majesty nod repeatedly- truly a unique character.

Once the princes and sons of the emperor had paid their respects, it was time for the civil and military officials to present the gifts they had previously prepared.

When it was Su Pan’er and Qin Yi’s turn, Qin Yi also presented a couplet that he had prepared long ago. His Majesty heaped praises on it, much to their relief, it seemed they had passed this test.

After presenting their birthday gifts, it was almost noon. His Majesty then led everyone to the Imperial Garden.

The Empress, accompanied by the ladies who had been conferred titles by the Imperial Court, had already arrived in the Imperial Garden. They were seated separately by a screen, with His Majesty and the princes and ministers on one side, and the Empress leading the ladies of the Imperial court on the other. They took their seats according to their rank.

Since Su Pan’er had just recovered from a severe illness, the Empress put on a generous front in front of the civil and military officials and kindly asked Su Pan’er about his health.

Su Pan’er had braced herself and thanked the Empress.

Naturally, this also led to another round of greetings, and endless words of praise, making the Empress smiling.

Su Pan’er knew that His Majesty’s birthday banquet has not yet begun, so the Empress and these princes and ministers would naturally not show their true faces. But as for afterward, it remained to be seen.

Because of the death of Ye Han, Qin Yi took over his position, and Su Pan’er’s status also rose accordingly. She was seated at the third table from the front in the first row. Seated in front of her were several Imperial consorts and princesses, among which was also Imperial Consort Hua.
