On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lumen Hall still held a family banquet as usual, but everyone could not wait for the emperor.

Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan, who was sitting next to him, exchanged a look with each other, but they were speechless.

When worshipping the ancestors, the incense was broken, this is simply the ancestor of the Xiao family who slapped the emperor in the face, the emperor must be thunderous at this moment, right?

A gust of cold wind blew in along the wide open door of the Lumen Palace, and everyone in the hall shivered.

There were several unmarried clan lords and county lords who whispered:

"The emperor has now handed over the power of the harem to Concubine Wan, but what kind of palace banquet is this Concubine Wan holding is to freeze people to death?"

These county lords and county lords, who were far away from the center of power, did not follow to worship their ancestors, they didn't know what was happening today, and they didn't even know anything about the gloomy atmosphere flowing in the dark, and they looked at the dragon chair and phoenix seat that was still empty, and their dissatisfaction gradually deepened:

"The emperor really doesn't take us people seriously...... In previous years, when Concubine Shu was in charge of the harem, there was not so much to do!"

Next to the county lord and county lord, there were seats of the concubines and concubines in the palace, and when such words came into the ears of the concubine, she just smiled slightly, but there were countless sourness in her heart.

Wan Guifei...... Now she is really a real favorite concubine, but back then, who was not a favorite concubine?

It's a pity that neither the first emperor nor the current emperor has a sincere heart.

Wei Wan may be a favorite concubine today, maybe in a few days, this favorite concubine will be replaced?

Xiao Huiya and Xiao Huixin, the two eldest princesses in the harem, listened to the discussion in their ears, and only stared blankly at the exquisite colorful gold cups and bowls in front of them, and did not dare to intervene in a word.

They are the eldest princesses, but they are not as good as these county lords and county lords who grew up under the protection of their parents, those people can express their dissatisfaction, but they are the only ones who always have to live with trepidation.

The princesses of the county also quickly heard the muttering of their daughters, and a low scolding suddenly sounded in the hall, all of them admonishing their daughters who caused trouble-no matter why the emperor and Concubine Wan came late, it would not be their turn to discuss!

In contrast, the prince of Qin and the princess of Qin who were sitting in the middle were much quieter.

When Xiao Huixin inadvertently looked over, he saw that the prince of Qin was untying the cloak on his body and gently draped it on the shoulders of the princess.

She gently grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes:

"Sister, look!"

Xiao Huiya looked over and also saw this scene, including the smile on the lips of the princess of King Qin.

Xiao Huiya couldn't help but mutter:

"The royal brother used to think of her as Xu Chenghuan, but they don't look like her at all......"

This was the first time they had seen this woman, who was said to have been crazy and stupid, but also extremely good.

"It doesn't look like ......" Xiao Huixin snuggled up to her sister and whispered: "But sister, do you feel that the feeling of her sitting there is ...... like Xu Chenghuan?"

Xiao Huiya stared, and finally shook her head:

"It's just that the sitting posture is beautiful and the posture is elegant, isn't it the case that most of the nobles in the capital?"

Xiao Huixin didn't speak again, she knew that she couldn't understand that feeling with her sister - it was the feeling that the hall was full of pearls, but she seemed to be more brilliant.

is like Xu Chenghuan in the past, even if she sits there upright and doesn't speak, people will keep looking at her.

Perhaps, it's because her "reputation" is too loud that she keeps going to see her, right?

"You give me an explanation, you must give me an explanation!"

The emperor roared like a trapped beast in the imperial study, and in front of him were the king of Anxi and the supervisor of Qintian, Zhan Shichun, who were kneeling on the cold floor tiles.

Although the earth dragon was burned indoors, the cold of the floor tiles still rushed into the knee bones along the veins like crawling snakes and insects, and the king of Anxi moved slightly in pain, and quietly glanced at Zhan Shichun on the side - this old way is much older than him, can it be that after kneeling for so long, doesn't his leg hurt?

Anyway, let's say a word and give the emperor an explanation, everyone will die early and be born sooner!

"Talking, are you dumb?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that such an abnormal situation this year was due to the frequent occurrence of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the emperor did not issue an edict against himself, and the emperors of the past dynasties represented the heavens and were dissatisfied with the emperor. ”

In the emperor's fury, Zhan Shichun straightened up and said calmly, but it was a thunder in the ears of the emperor and the king of Anxijun!

The emperor's anger was completely detonated, and he pointed at Zhan Shichun and opened his eyes angrily: "You, you actually said that I ...... Is it because I didn't make an edict?"

He thought that the reason was at most because he brought the noble concubine to worship the ancestors, not the justifiable queen!

"Then does the emperor want the minister to tell a lie?" Zhan Shichun didn't move his eyelids, and looked at the emperor sharply: "Can the minister tell the emperor with a clear conscience, it's just an accident, don't you think of a way for the emperor?"

Zhan Shichun was so calm, and his death-like expression stopped the emperor's anger, and he stared at Zhan Shichun with red eyes for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said:

"So what do you say? How can I get those damn people to shut me up?"

From the moment the incense was broken, he could already foresee how lively the court should be after the New Year, and how much people wanted to kill all those damn ministers!

James Shichun lowered his eyes and bowed to the ground:

"Then please ask the emperor to make an edict on the day of the beginning of the New Year. ”

The family banquet of the Lumen Palace, when it was close to Hai, the emperor slowly came with Wei Wan and An Zhulin.

The people in the hall couldn't even drink hot tea because the emperor had not arrived, and they were already frozen half to death at the moment.

After the emperor took his seat, the door of the Lumen Hall was finally closed, and the heat in the hall could be slowly retained.

The emperor slowly glanced at the ministers and daughters of the clan below, and found that he did not see any ridicule in their expressions, and his face, which had been gloomy, slowly eased.

The emperor took the lead in raising a glass and said a few examples of Chinese New Year's Eve, and after everyone got up and saluted the emperor to congratulate the New Year, the people in the imperial dining room also began to serve dishes one after another, and the hall gradually became lively.

The first concubine Wan was also very interested in never mentioning how today's trip to the Taimiao was, but just toasted the emperor and served dishes to the emperor, and the emperor also smiled at them.

An Zhulin wanted to toast the emperor several times on the side but couldn't get a chance, and he was anxious for a while, but unfortunately Wei Wan was at present, and the emperor didn't care about her at all.

An Zhulin was in a hurry, and he heard a commotion in the main hall.

"Sister-in-law, concubine, don't you drink Mingzhen's wine, do you look down on Mingzhen?"

A woman dressed in a gorgeous palace costume was standing in front of the case of the princess of King Qin, holding a wine glass in her hand, looking at the princess of King Qin aggressively, and the provocation could not be more obvious.

Bai Chenghuan raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, who was still fair-eyed, and shook his head with a smile:

"Lord Mingzhen forgive me, the princess of this world really can't drink. ”

Xiao Mingzhen, the concubine of the king of Anping County, has a pungent personality and is a good troublemaker, but I don't know who came to stir up trouble today, who ordered her? Bai Chenghuan quietly glanced at Xiao Mingzhen's family, only to see that the king of Anping County was also surprised and inexplicable, as if he didn't understand how his daughter could do such a thing under the emperor's nose!

And beside the king of Anping, there was a person looking at them with dark eyes.
