"Long live the emperor, long live the spirit concubine Niangniang"

A group of ministers who came first saw Chengzong and Lingxi enter the hall, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted. 『』【Mobile phone users directly visit wèndashubao】

"Let's be polite" Chengzong waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, and then said: "We are all here to participate today, what are we going to participate in?" Lingxi smiled slightly and said.

"Oh, yes, Christmas party, all Aiqing don't have to be formal, just be casual. Chengzong laughed, and then followed Lingxi to the main seat in the hall.

"Yes. ”

After the emperor arrived, the hall was much quieter, only the waiting palace maids and eunuchs were still walking around, serving some pastries from time to time, and the rest of the ministers were also seated in turn according to the fees they paid.

Among these ministers, there is naturally the kind of hope to please the emperor and the concubine, and pay a lot of money, hoping to sit in the front row, even if they themselves are not interested in this banquet, but when they sit close, they can always be familiar in front of the emperor, which is something that can not necessarily be done with money on weekdays.

The right phase Wang Bichi was naturally given the best position, of course, the price he paid was not small, a full three thousand taels of silver When the old man knew about it, he almost didn't feel distressed to death, but Lingxi said, your plan has come to this point, and even your reputation has been taken, you still care about this

Although Wang Bichi thinks that what Lingxi said is reasonable, he still feels painful, after all, he is quite honest as an official, although he has his own small group in the court, but it is also to consolidate the right to speak, and he does not use this for personal gain, which is also the reason why Chengzong has always turned a blind eye although he knows it in his heart.

"Lord Li, don't you think the emperor's favor for Concubine Lingniang is a bit excessive, look at what this is going on today" A minister sitting in the corner, pointing to the palace maids and eunuchs who were busy shuttling back and forth in the hall, asked: "This ragged clothes, what kind of system is it, I am in a tight war on the frontier, and the soldiers are hungry.

"Hey" The minister surnamed Li hurriedly stopped the other party and said: "Lao Zhang, you can be quiet, you came to Beijing at the end of the year to report on your work, and you may not know much about our Lingfei Niangniang, although this Niangniang is short-tempered and domineering, but she has not done anything out of the ordinary, and the emperor is not only pampered by her, it is simply pampered."

Ah some time ago, the right minister Lord Wang was beaten by Concubine Ling Niangniang for a while because of a disagreement, and almost resigned in a fit of anger, the emperor not only did not punish Concubine Ling, but almost allowed Lord Wang, so these words, you honestly save them in your stomach, but you don't dare to say it" "Hey, if it really continues like this, I'm afraid it is, alas" The official surnamed Zhang is a border general, so he naturally thinks that Lingxi's Christmas party is not only inconsistent with etiquette, but also extravagant and wasteful, and he unconsciously equates Lingxi with the disaster of the charming emperor.

"General Zhang, you can't say that, although this banquet, the official also doesn't understand it, but this warbler and Yanyan can't be seen everywhere, besides, there is the emperor here, we are just here to foil, do you think that the imperial food in the palace is so easy to eat, as for the silver paid, it is only regarded as filial piety to the emperor, don't you see that there are people registered at the door" The other minister seemed to enjoy it very much, and began to look around, only to see a little rabbit dressed in revealing clothes, with two white legs dangling, and swallowed saliva unconsciously.

"Hmph" said that they were not the same, and that General Zhang didn't seem to want to argue with this person more. "Lingxi, I have always wanted you to live in another place, but you don't listen, today I see that your Zhaoyang Hall is indeed a little smaller" Chengzong looked at the hall and said to the Lingxi beside him. "No, I think it's good, it's lively when it's crowded" Lingxi didn't appreciate it, and said in her heart that the old lady was going to leave in the spring anyway, and she didn't plan to come back when the time came, even if she changed it, what could she do

"Lingxi, is the banquet ready to start" Cheng Zong was bored with himself, so he changed the topic.

"Smack" Lingxi clapped his hands, and saw Qianyu dressed in a hot bunny girl costume, and walked to Lingxi's side very twisted.

"Everyone is here, how much silver have we collected," Lingxi couldn't help but have a trademark rogue smile on his face as he looked at Qian Yu's dress.

"Except for King Ning who said that he was not in good health, someone sent 10,000 taels of gold, but the person did not come, and the rest of the princes and ministers have arrived, and we have received a total of 380,000 taels of silver for tonight's entry" Qianyu asked softly in Lingxi's ear, as if she was afraid that she would speak loudly and let others notice her, but where did she think that as soon as she wore out her clothes, there was no man in this hall who did not look at her except for the emperor.

"So much" Chengzong was also quite surprised when he heard this number, he didn't expect that he could collect so much money for just one banquet, but this exclamation caused Lingxi's contempt.

"That guy, forget it, it's just right without him" Lingxi pursed his mouth, and then said to Chengzong beside him: "Your Majesty, you can start, this is the speech I wrote for you, just read it." ”

Then Lingxi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Chengzong, Chengzong glanced at Lingxi a little strangely, and said in his heart

Seeing this, Lu Yifa on the side hurriedly wanted to take it over, but was obstructed by Lingxi and said: "Old Lu, your duck has been shouting for a year, it's time to rest, it's best to let the emperor come in person today." ”

Although Chengzong loves Lingxi, but from the bones he is also a person who reads poetry and books, understands etiquette and keeps the old, and is a dignified generation of heavenly sons, but he is asked to read the speech, naturally he is reluctant in his heart, but when he thinks of the cold war with Lingxi during this time, he has just got a smile, and it is not easy, so he did not refuse, took the paper, glanced at it, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and stood up.

The ministers in this hall, when they saw the emperor get up, naturally none of them dared to sit down, and they all stood up, bowed their heads, and showed their awe.

Today, I and all Aiqing gathered in Zhaoyang Hall to usher in a peaceful, peaceful and passionate night, first of all, I welcome you to all of you in your busy schedule, and at the same time express my condolences to the soldiers who guarded the border pass."

This novel speech naturally made the ministers below scratch their heads, but no one dared to speak out, so they had to bow their heads and listen quietly.

"Alas, don't just listen to it, there should be applause here" Lingxi looked at the sluggish appearance of the ministers, and couldn't help but say, and then took the lead in applauding first.

"Ahh

Although the ministers were puzzled, they also did the same and began to applaud.

"Ahem. When Chengzong heard the applause, he naturally felt strange in his heart, because it was clearly written on the speech that after reading the first paragraph, he paused for ten seconds, and waited for the applause to fall before continuing.

"This is a critical year, but also a year of harvest, in this year, the northwest border is urgent, the Yellow River floods are frequent, but the imperial court reacted quickly, resisted foreign enemies, cured floods, and won the praise of the people, these are not the work of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of all Aiqing. Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little weird here, but he continued, and after hearing this, the ministers in the palace felt warm in their hearts, and they only felt that the praise was for themselves, and they felt glorious in their hearts.

"Of course, let all Aiqing come here, I think everyone has doubts and dissatisfaction in their hearts, wondering why I agreed to hold such an absurd banquet, and dissatisfied with the money I also received from all Aiqing, now I can sue everyone. Chengzong naturally began to observe the expressions of those ministers at this time, and saw that some people were frightened, some people were indifferent, and their hearts were a little clear, and the panicked people were naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, thinking that they were going to be punished, but the indifferent people thought that they had spent money to please them.

"The money obtained tonight, except for the expenses spent on the banquet, will be handed over to the state treasury for border expenses and local emergencies. Chengzong glanced back at Lingxi at this time, and only felt that sometimes Lingxi's nonsense was not all willful.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers suddenly realized that this banquet was not just an absurd fun, but the emperor came to collect money, and some ministers couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, and some ministers who were originally dissatisfied were very happy.

The ministers in the hall of "My Emperor Shengming" did not need to be driven by the spirit rhino this time, and knelt down and shouted together.

Seeing this, Chengzong couldn't help but smile, because it was clearly written in this speech, and when the ministers knelt down and shouted long live, you should say the following sentence: "If there is any other Aiqing who thinks that my move is beneficial to the court, he can pay another sum of money after the banquet, so as not to regret it." ”

Those officials who have unclean hands and feet on weekdays are naturally calculating in their hearts at this moment how much money they will have to pay for a while.

Wang Bichi knelt on the ground, and naturally knew in his heart that this qiē was done by Lingxi, and he felt that this move was clever, and the act of paying money could clearly see which people were greedy on weekdays, but it also gave them a chance to atone for their sins, thinking that those ministers should also know when they heard this, so he raised his head and looked at Lingxi sitting on the main seat, only to feel that this woman was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"Finally, I hope that in this new year, all Aiqing can always put the people in their hearts, and work together with me to create a prosperous era of the Great Zhou Dynasty" The emperor is the emperor after all, and the words are very in place, and the feelings are also just right, and all the ministers feel nostalgic in their hearts and shout long live.

Subsequently, the palace Christmas party officially kicked off.

The opening is naturally indispensable is the Yingge Yan Dance, Chengzong spoke to untie the knot in the hearts of the ministers, except for some people who began to contact their families to send money to themselves, the rest of the people when the music sounded, it was natural to integrate into the atmosphere of this banquet.

"Your Majesty, how about my way of making money for you, but it's okay" Lingxi raised a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, Lingxi, I originally thought you were just trying to have a good time, but I didn't expect you to have such a deep meaning, it seems that I will have to ask you for this way of making money in the future" Chengzong got both money and a beautiful smile, so he was naturally happy in his heart, raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Lingxi took a sip of wine, she didn't plan to drink too much, but she saw her eyebrows and eyes move slightly, and her heart said that there will be something to make you happy for a while

At this time, Xiao Xi ran from the side in a panic, walked to Lingxi's ear and said something, only to see Lingxi stand up and leave.

"What's going on, why are you so flustered" Chengzong just came in interest, and asked out loud when he saw Lingxi leaving the table.

"Oh, it's nothing, Ya'er is crying, I'll go see the child" After saying that, Lingxi walked to the apse without looking back.

Chengzong muttered with a little dissatisfaction, this kind of thing is not good for the nurse to deal with, you don't necessarily have milk if you have big breasts" "Poof" Qian Yu on the side couldn't help laughing after hearing this, seeing Chengzong glanced at himself, and then recalled his clothes, he couldn't help but blush, and ran to the apse.

"I said, you have such a big ability, why can't you even look down on yourself" Lingxi blamed Xiao Xi as he walked.

"How do I know this, didn't I just come back, who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to dare to rob people in the palace" Xiao Xi also looked a little angry, obviously this kind of behavior is already challenging her Hell Demon Dragon's dignity, don't you know that people are covered by themselves

"What about the white river," Lingxi asked, seeing that the room was empty and showing signs of struggle.

"I asked him to look for it first, and then I'll ask you what to do," Xiao Xi said.

Lingxi sat on the stool very angrily, and said: "What else can I do to find it quickly, you can go too, what if Baihe can't beat the other party" "No" Xiaoxi was obviously very confident in Baihe's strength, but when he saw Lingxi's face, he stuck out his tongue and turned away.

"What's the matter, Xiao Xi went out in a panic. Qianyu, who didn't know the truth, walked in and asked.

"Sister Mei and Qinnu don't know who robbed them" Lingxi felt thirsty when she thought of this, picked up the teacup and got a cup of tea, and then said: "No, according to the program arrangement, it will be time for them to play in a while, what can I do now that there are no people?"

"Don't worry, didn't Xiao Xi go out to find it, she is so powerful, I guess I should find it in a while" Qian Yu's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of different color after hearing this, and comforted him loudly.

Lingxi raised his head sharply at this time, looked at Qianyu, pointed at her and said, "You"

"Ahh

"No, how can the atmosphere that has finally stirred up be cold, Xiao Qianyu, let's do it next" Lingxi seemed to remember something, raised his eyebrows at Qianyu, smiled evilly, and then stood up and took Qianyu's hand.

"Ah" The little rabbit for unknown reasons was forcibly dragged by the female hooligan and ran towards the main hall.
