My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 282 This baby is one year old
The strangest thing is how this Consort Su managed to take away so much silver so quietly?
"Continue the investigation." Lu Xiao's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"Yes." Zhui Feng withdrew.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yaoyao turned one year old, and today is her first birthday celebration.

The little one was dragged out of bed by her mother early and dressed in a little dress.

Over the past few months, Lu Yaoyao has been brought to the court by the emperor from time to time to attend the morning court sessions with him, which has made the ministers tremble with fear.

With Lu Yaoyao's help, many ministers were executed and their families were raided, and now the court is in a state of peace and order.

"Xiao Anzi, do you think something's missing from these first birthday gifts?"

The emperor looked at the gifts he had personally prepared for his granddaughter's first birthday celebration and felt that something was missing.

I prepared calligraphy brushes and books, gold-inlaid kingfisher feather headdresses, warm jade bracelets, jade thumb rings, golden apples...
All sorts of rare and precious treasures were displayed on a large round table, and the ministers who came to participate in the first birthday celebration were all amazed by what they saw.

Many of the newly promoted ministers and their families were attending such a banquet for the first time, and they all felt that it was too extravagant.

Is it really necessary to hold such a grand ceremony for a child's first birthday celebration?
Even if they had opinions, they could only envy them and dared not speak out.

Everyone knows that the Prince of Qin's mansion has a little princess who is spoiled rotten by the Emperor, and no one is allowed to say a bad word about her.

When Eunuch An looked at the first birthday gift on the table, he understood that the Emperor wanted to use him to express his thoughts!

"Oh, Your Majesty! Your imperial seal hasn't been placed yet." Eunuch An chimed in with a keen eye.

The Emperor got up early this morning and started nagging about wanting to include the imperial seal in the first birthday celebration gifts, but he felt it was inappropriate to say it. Now that he's brought it up, the Emperor should know what to do.

Eunuch An complained inwardly, "I was the one who wanted to put the imperial seal in, but I, the servant, have to take the blame."

The emperor was pleased and gave Eunuch An an approving look. "Then why don't you go and fetch the imperial seal?"

The surrounding ministers all twitched their lips. Your Majesty, isn't this acting a bit too fake?

Although she was unwilling to let the emperor dote on a little girl like that, she dared not say it out loud.

If the little princess says something in her heart, they will suffer as well!

The imperial seal was carefully carried over by Eunuch An, and the Emperor waved his hand, personally placing the seal on the table.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao had also put on her little dress. The bright yellow dress was embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns, which clearly indicated that the emperor had given his permission.

Since ancient times, no royal princess has ever dared to wear dragon patterns on her body, so Lu Yaoyao's favor is truly unique.

The little girl in the dress is so pretty, like a porcelain doll. The more you look at her, the more you like her.

Now, two small white teeth have grown in Lu Yaoyao's mouth. When she grins, drool flows out, revealing those two little white teeth.

The more I look at it, the cuter it becomes.

"Oh my! Our little princess is so beautiful." Granny Sun had spent the entire past year helping to take care of Lu Yaoyao in the Prince of Qin's mansion, and she doted on this little princess to the core.

This was the first time she had ever seen such an easy child to soothe, who didn't cry or fuss and was very easy to manage.

Qiuju chimed in, "That's right, the little princess is the most beautiful and best little princess in the world."

Yu Tan was happy to hear them praising her daughter.

The thought that her parents and relatives were no longer with her inevitably filled her with sorrow.

Upon seeing her daughter, the sadness and melancholy in her heart vanished.

From now on, her only family will be her daughter.

Before the first birthday ceremony could even begin, Consort Su was already getting annoyed by her child's antics.

"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry!" Su Yan'er pinched her son's arm hard.

The child cried even louder.

The wet nurse felt sorry for the child. Although he was over a year old, he was as thin and small as a kitten and didn't even dare to cry.

"Are you blind? Hurry up and take him away, I get annoyed just looking at him." Su Yan'er recalled that when her son was celebrating his first birthday, the prince actually said he wouldn't hold the ceremony.

Fearing the prince would discover discrepancies in the palace's accounts, she didn't insist on holding a traditional first birthday celebration for her child. Yet, the bastard child born to Yu Tan had such a grand celebration, presided over by the emperor himself.

Why?
Is it really worth paying so much attention to a money-losing company?

"No! Haitang, let's go to the baby's first birthday celebration with the baby in our arms. Since we've already prepared the baby's first birthday celebration, let my son go in place of that little bitch!"

A cold glint flashed in Su Yan'er's eyes.

As long as that good-for-nothing gets sick and can't attend the grand first birthday celebration, then this lavish celebration will now belong to her son.

Anyway, the two children are only a few days apart in age. She took the children with her. Could the emperor send them back in front of all the officials?

I heard that the Emperor even included the imperial seal in the first birthday celebration gifts. If her son finds the imperial seal, the Emperor will definitely appoint him as the heir of the Prince of Qin's mansion.

"Yes, Consort." Haitang went to pick up the child.

Su Yan'er summoned the shadow guard given to her by the First Prince, "Sprinkle this on the clothes that little bitch is wearing."

The shadow guard took the things and left.

"mother·····."

Lu Yaoyao could only utter a few simple words at this moment.

Seeing her daughter standing on the bed with her little arms outstretched, Yu Tan's heart melted, and she quickly went over to pick her up.

"My dear, have you had enough playing?" Yu Tan tidied her little clothes, her eyes full of tenderness.

Yes, yes...

Lu Yaoyao stretched out her chubby little finger and pointed to the powder sprinkled on her body.

[Someone actually poisoned me? Who's got a death wish?]

Fortunately, I've given my mother quite a few medicinal pills during this time, making her immune to all poisons. Otherwise, if these medicinal powders had gotten on her, it would have been disastrous.

Yu Tan was terrified. Someone had actually poisoned her daughter?
But everyone in this room is one of her own people. Who would have the ability to poison someone?
Lu Yaoyao tilted her little head back, "Luo, Luo..."

[These powders fell from above; they must be from shadow guards or something similar.]

As soon as Lu Xiao reached the door, he overheard his daughter's inner thoughts: Shadow Guard?

"What happened?" Lu Xiao strode in, relieved to see that his woman and child were alright.

Yu Tan's eyes reddened. "Someone poisoned your daughter. Look at this powder."

"Chase the wind, investigate." Lu Xiao's voice was frighteningly cold.

He vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Let's not wear this outfit, let's change into something else." Lu Xiao took out her daughter's clothes with practiced ease.

For more than a year, he has been taking care of his daughter, and he has been very adept at doing things.

Lu Yaoyao pushed away Lu Xiao's hand that was holding the clothes, "No, no changing..."

"These are clothes my grandfather gave me, I don't want to change! The poison on them has no effect on me."

[No doubt about it, it was that Consort Su who did it! It's been over a year, and that scumbag father still hasn't gotten that woman out of the palace. He's here all day, making things difficult for me and my mother.]

[Once I can walk, I'll run away from home with my mother! I'll find her ten or eight gigolos, and when she's bored, we'll go to brothels and listen to music. I'll never want that scumbag father again.]

Lu Xiao: ·······

Is it still worth keeping a daughter who's always trying to steal your boyfriend?
And he wants to find ten or eight gigolos for his woman?

Do you still want to listen to music in brothels?

Can he beat up this rebellious daughter?
