The moonlight is hazy, and the sky is full of stars embedded in the black sky. The stars are dotted and dazzling, like a beautiful Milky Way.
There was singing and dancing in the imperial garden, with dense light and light shadows intertwining and overlapping. The aroma of fine wine and delicacies floated in the air. All the people present were dignitaries. Several dancers danced in the open space in the middle to the music of drums, with their heads above their heads.
Several red silk threads are connected to form a beautiful bouquet at the top, with several palace lanterns hanging on it, which are projected through a layer of red silk material, exuding a dreamy and dreamy brilliance.
As soon as Xiao Li arrived, everyone stopped talking and laughing and stood up to greet him, shouting long live. Then they lined up one by one according to official rank, gave gifts and said congratulations. The generals were a little better, and the congratulations from the civil servants were very good.
None of them mentioned anything different after hearing it, which made Su Jiner extremely impressed.
"Xiao Jin'er, how are you? Isn't it boring?"
Xiao Xuan, who was originally sitting next to the Queen Mother, found the empty seat next to Su Jin'er at some point and sat down. When he saw Su Jin'er looking at him, he winked at her and made a gesture to get it done.
Su Jin'er nodded vaguely. Prime Minister Su was sitting next to her. She couldn't say more: "It's okay, the prince is boring?"
Because it was a formal banquet, Xiao Xuan's wild black hair, which he usually wore loose, was rarely tied up with a gold hairpin tonight. He was dressed in a dark blue robe with silver piping.
Jin'er is quite a bit taller. The scar on his handsome bronze face is showing off wantonly. His facial features are deep and clear, but they have no resemblance to Xiao Li. His pair of phoenix eyes are evil and sexy, and he glances at the surroundings from time to time.
The girls and young ladies are as aggressive as not wanting money, even those beautiful married ladies, and they are not afraid of getting angry.
Hearing Su Jin'er's words, he sighed melancholy: "How can it not be boring if you can only look at the clouds of beauties but not eat them? I can't get along with these serious young men. Life is really as lonely as snow.
It’s as lonely as snow…”
"Where's your little Qingqing?" Su Jin'er resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him. Well, with someone who is born to seduce young women and crawl into bed, how can other men pick up girls? She is a man.
, and I don’t want to hang out with this girl, unless I don’t want sexual happiness for the rest of my life.
Xiao Xuan was obviously confused by the name in her mouth: "Which Xiaoqinqin are you talking about? Many of my women are called Xiaoqinqin."
"That one when I first met you, didn't you keep saying you loved her?" Su Jin'er didn't expect that he would forget so quickly, and she was a little speechless.
"Well," Xiao Xuan suddenly understood and said confidently: "Of course I love you, but my hobbies are a little wider. Women are born to be cherished by men. I have always pursued consensual consent. I like and admire you.
The woman will naturally be taken over."
It makes sense, but, "They won't fight if they know each other's existence?"
"Ever since there was a big fuss and I was punished, this kind of situation basically doesn't exist now. On the contrary, we get along very well. We hang out together when we have nothing to do, go shopping, boating and sightseeing. Tsk, this king is a blessing in disguise.
.”
Su Jin'er's black line, listening to his tone, I'm afraid the confidante can form several football teams...
Congratulations from officials could be heard all the time, and the two of them were engrossed in chatting. Suddenly, a clear female voice sounded, causing the surrounding area to become quiet, and the congratulations also stopped.
"Wait a moment--"
Su Jin'er and Xiao Xuan looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, and looked directly at Ye Yurong beside the Queen Mother. The interruption just now came from her mouth.
Ye Yurong was the Queen Mother's only biological niece, so it was natural that she loved her. Ye Yurong's unfinished congratulations were interrupted by Ye Yurong. She did not blame her, but lovingly nodded her nose and said: "Young devil, this is
Why are you asking the ministers to wait for your emperor's cousin's canonization banquet?"
"Aunt, I've grown up, don't call me that." Ye Yurong hugged her arm as if to be as affectionate as possible, raising her chin and looking at the people below with an innocent expression.
Youyou pointed out: "Auntie, please don't be angry with me. Yurong can say whatever comes to mind. But when I saw the ministers congratulating me, I suddenly remembered, didn't the emperor's cousin newly appoint a female imperial officer? Female officers are the same as ministers in the court.
He has class, so he should have come forward to congratulate him, but I saw that there was no movement at all, and I didn't pay attention to the emperor's cousin at all. Aunt, do you think someone who despises the royal family and knows no etiquette should be punished?
?”
Although she did not name anyone in her words, no one knew who else besides Su Jin'er would be the only female official in the Qin Dynasty, and who the Concubine Hua was alluding to. Everyone didn't have to think about it.
Tsk, one is a close minister of the emperor, and the other is a concubine in the harem. Seeing Concubine Hua's attitude, she is about to confront Su Jin'er.
Neither of them are easy characters to mess with. It seems like they have a good show tonight...
Everyone present had different thoughts, and most of them had the mentality of watching a show.
The Queen Mother was not fond of Su Jin'er, and she didn't like it no matter how she looked at it. With the interference of Ye Yurong, her precious niece, she took her words into consideration, turned to Xiao Li very displeased and said: "
It is indeed worthy of punishment, Emperor, you see for yourself who you have chosen."
"My mother still wants to deal with my people." Xiao Li glanced at her coldly, his tone was as cold as his sculpturally perfect handsome face, and he seemed to be sitting on the seat tepidly, but all the birds of prey
The fierce and dangerous aura is all contained in the lazy posture.
After being pushed back in public, the Queen Mother looked a little ugly and said: "Why, as the Queen Mother, Aijia doesn't have the right to punish a family member?"
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to say a word.
Ah, hey, isn't it Ye Yurong versus Su Jin'er? How come the Queen Mother and the Emperor are also at odds with each other? The female official in front of the imperial court is more senior than the minister, so how come she has become a palace concubine in the mouth of the Queen Mother? This smell of gunpowder is too strong, everyone.
I can't bear it.
Xiao Li was sitting on the main seat. In fact, he caught a glimpse of Su Jin'er when he sat down. He ignored the unsightly guy next to her. Xiao Li's deep and steady eyes were full of indulgence and imperceptible doting.
The stern face was filled with a touch of tenderness, which was intoxicating.
Even though there is only a hint of tenderness, even though most people can't see it at all.
Facing Su Jin'er's direction, he could only hear his eloquent voice saying: "The Queen Mother's words are wrong. She is not wrong. How can she say punishment? Not only that, in the future in front of all the concubines in the harem, I will give Su Jin'er permission."
There is no need to kneel down."
"absurd!"
What he said made the Queen Mother angry, and she immediately categorically rejected it: "If the emperor can just say a word and everyone can be exempted from kneeling, what will happen to all the concubines in the harem, the future queen, and the Queen Mother Aijia?"
Land? Aijia is not allowed!"
The smile that was raised at the corner of Xiao Li's mouth suddenly faded away, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the black eyes that had lost the slightest trace of gentle light released an ice blade that made people's hearts tremble even more than the frost: "
Why should my mother get angry over a trivial matter? I allowed her to avoid kneeling, and I didn’t say she didn’t have to. The female imperial officer represents me, and even if she wants to kneel, she can only kneel in front of me.”
He wanted his people to kneel down, but they couldn't bear it.
"Okay, since she is your minister, let her show the etiquette that a minister should have! Shouldn't the people around the emperor set a good example?"
The Queen Mother endured her anger and refused to give in at all. The anger was so suppressed in her stomach that she almost had a heart attack.
Of course, if this word exists in this time and space...
"Aunt, let's forget it." Upon seeing this, Ye Yurong, who had caused the trouble, stretched out her hand and patted the Queen Mother's back. She said kind words in both directions. She looked at Xiao Li with a blushing face and persuaded in a sweet voice: "Emperor, please
Brother, my aunt is the master of the harem. This is not because I am afraid of breaking the rules. Don’t be angry. It’s all Yu Rong’s fault. Yu Rong shouldn’t speak so directly. I didn’t mean it either. Don’t be angry.”
All the ministers and ladies: Of course, Concubine Hua, you didn’t do it on purpose, because you did it entirely on purpose!
All the angry young ministers: That’s right, the Queen Mother is right. Nodding and blessing one’s body can be regarded as a salute. That is very different from kneeling down. How can it be the same!
All the young gentlemen: Favoritism! Your Majesty is absolutely showing favoritism to Su Jin'er! Don't you think it's rough!
His Royal Highness Duan Wang propped up his elbows and bumped into the person sitting quietly beside him, undisturbed. His voice was sympathetic and pitiful: "Xiao Jin'er, have you ever offended her?"
A difficult woman like Ye Yurong would run away even when he saw her. His little Jin'er had to have bad luck for several lifetimes before he became enmity with her.
"How do I know? When a dog bites you, will it tell you in advance why it bites you?" Su Jin'er said angrily. He asked her, who should she ask?
Thief Xiao Xuan smiled and said: "Xiao Jin'er, you are so humorous. This description really suits that woman, but are you going to let her bite you? Tsk tsk, it is a good thing to be patient, but blindly forbearing will only make the other party more arrogant and be regarded as her.
People of the enemy, you should be careful even if the emperor is here from now on."
"Do you think I have a very tolerant face?"
Su Jin'er glanced sideways at him. Ye Yurong seemed to be trying to persuade her to make peace, but in reality she was adding fuel to the fire. With the Queen Mother's temperament, how could she just give up.
The Queen Mother targeted her, and she didn't know how many people secretly took pleasure in others' misfortune. Unfortunately, she had no intention of satisfying these people at all!
Su Jin'er looked back at A Yuan, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding.
"Of course Concubine Hua didn't mean it——"
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Su Jin'er stood up calmly, walked to the center of the open space, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think there may be some misunderstanding."
