Qin Yuyi's return to the imperial city undoubtedly made some people more anxious. Although Qin Yuyi only has the position of a general Mingwei on his body, who knows how many soldiers and horses he has in his hands now in a year in the northwest?

Emperor Huiming's body is good and bad, no one dares to guarantee that Emperor Huiming can last until next year, everyone in the palace is trembling, for fear that he will be used as a head bird and shot down with an arrow when the wind is blowing.

Another year's festival came in this tense atmosphere, and Emperor Huiming rarely got up on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even went to the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Your Majesty, your medicine is ready." Father-in-law Fuming walked in with a small jade bowl, and Emperor Huiming motioned for the palace ladies to go down, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it clean.

Father-in-law Fuming took the medicine bowl, saw the sediment in the remaining medicine juice in the medicine bowl, and raised his head slightly to look at Emperor Huiming, who was particularly good today, "Your Majesty, the palace banquet queen mother of the harem has passed, you see?" ”

Emperor Huiming himself smoothed the belt and tiara, and waved his hand, "The palace banquet in the harem will be talked about later, how is the palace banquet in Qiming Palace prepared?" ”

"The ministers have all arrived, and Your Majesty wants to come over here." Father-in-law Fuming handed the medicine bowl to the little eunuch on the side, and went over to tidy up Emperor Huiming's clothes.

"Well, let's go to Qiming Palace first. What about the third child? "Emperor Huiming was dressed in a solemn imperial dragon robe, lined with today's good complexion, and looked very energetic.

"The two princes and the three highnesses have already gone." Father-in-law Fuming followed Emperor Huiming, always ready to support Emperor Huiming, "The queen has arranged the trivial matters of the harem palace banquet, and is also going to Qiming Palace." ”

"In that case, wait for the Queen." Emperor Huiming really stayed in the apse after arriving at Qiming Palace, and went to the front hall together until the queen came.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, all the ministers who have enough rank will attend the banquet in the palace, but for Hu Li, who is waiting for the New Year to go to the gluttonous banquet, it is no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day. This year, Xiao Qiao became the left attendant of the household department, and he must enter the palace.

Hu Li has been lying on the soft couch boringly since the afternoon, no matter how lively the courtyard is, it can't attract him. Even Xiao Hongyong, who returned home, didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, Xiao Jinghao is now in time, since the beginning of winter, the Li family has asked to see the old lady more than once.

Now Xiao's mother's health is still not good, and she is willing and powerless to plan to marry Xiao Jinghao, not to mention that Xiao's mother is not necessarily willing to worry about it. Li was in a hurry, so he could only ask the old lady to help him look at each other.

The old lady has nothing to do in winter, and she is also a little idle, she still has a little concern for Xiao Jinghao, who has been following her, not to mention Xiao Jing's dedication to serving her, and she doesn't say much.

For this matter, the old lady took Xiao Jinghao to many old sisters this winter, and only made Xiao Jinghao blush.

This trip, Xiao Hongyong has been busy with this matter since he came back. In the Xiao Mansion, except for Xiao Jingshu, who is not pleasing to anyone, the relationship between the other three is not bad, and Xiao Hongyong and Xiao Jinghao have the closest relationship.

For the sake of this sister's family affairs, Xiao Hongyong, in addition to going to the barracks every day, told the old lady all the sons and brothers he knew that he thought were good. As a result, when it came to the New Year's Festival, the old lady did not let him go, and was discussing with him about the New Year, how to go to a few optimistic people's homes to talk about it.

Hu Li dangled his legs, one moment to one side, and the other side. Xiao Qiao saw that he was really bored, so he walked over and leaned over and pinched his cheek, "Do you want to go to the palace banquet with me at night?" ”

"Huh? I'm not an official, can I go? Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao suspiciously, and he didn't care about his face being pinched by Xiao Qiao.

"Naturally." Xiao Qiao touched his head and explained, "Gong Yan could have taken his family to go, although I can't say that you are my insider for the time being, but my younger brother can too." ”

Hearing the word "insider", Hu Li's face turned red, and the top of his head was about to smoke. Although Brother Xiao often loves to tease him, but, but, but "insider"!

Hu Li stood up with his face in his hands, almost tripped over himself with his left foot and his right foot, pointed at Xiao Qi's smiling face, and stammered, "I, I'm not yours, insider, insider!" ”

Xiao Qiao squinted his eyes and nodded, looking very shameless, "Yes, I am Xiaoli's insider." ”

Hu Li's face suddenly turned even redder, glared at Xiao Qiao viciously, and walked out with his head held high, if you ignore his words with hands and feet, it is very convincing.

Xiao Qiao laughed out loud at the moment Hu Li walked out, and when he saw Hu Li running out of the yard faster, he suddenly laughed even more happily.

Even though Hu Li was awkward for an afternoon because of the "insider", he still got into the carriage to the palace in the evening and was rubbed by Xiao Qiao again.

When he got out of the car, Hu Li straightened out his clothes, it was the first time he wore such formal clothes. The wide-sleeved robe, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the dark red embroidery pattern with solemnity and festivity, was worn on Hu Li's body, with his delicate facial features, which was particularly eye-catching.

Although Hu Li had been to the palace, except for the time when Xiao Qi tried it, he had met the Eighth Prince in the small garden on the side of the gate at other times, and he had never seen it well in this huge and gorgeous palace complex.

Xiao Qiao led him in front, his wide sleeves covering the hands of the two of them, and introduced him to various palaces as he walked. Hu Li listened attentively, and sighed again and again that he was worthy of being the richest person in Dayu, and the houses he built were so big.

Xiao Qiao squeezed his palm funny, "I'll see His Royal Highness later, don't be too familiar with him, you know?" ”

"Oh," Hu Li nodded, "I see." ”

The palace banquet was set up in the Qiming Palace, and when Xiao Qiao took Hu Li, many officials had already arrived, and they were all sitting in the side hall talking and waiting.

They didn't come early, and before they sat down for a cup of tea, they were led by the little eunuchs to the main hall of the Qiming Palace. In the main hall, a long row of low tables was placed on each side, and the ministers were led by the little eunuchs and maids according to their rank.

Hu Li sat next to Xiao Qiao and looked at the two people sitting in front of him curiously. One is the Eighth Prince, he is dressed formally today, so that Hu Li is not used to it for a moment, and the other person is King Rui, Hu Li looked at it twice, leaned over to Xiao Qiao's side, and whispered: "Brother Xiao, do you remember Yu Jia?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?" Xiao Qiao pretended not to know, but glanced at His Royal Highness King Rui, who was on the throne.

Hu Li shook his hand angrily, "I think Yu Jia deceived me, I thought he was a member of the clan, and he was obviously a prince." ”

Xiao Qiao put on small shoes for Prince Rui openly, shook Hu Li's hand, and comforted him, "It's okay, we just don't have anything to do with him anymore." ”

Hu Li nodded angrily, thought about it and shook his head, "If he can apologize properly, I can still forgive him." ”

Xiao Qiao nodded regretfully, although he couldn't let Rui Wang Ye stay away from his little fox, but the little fox's happiness was the most important thing, "Well, your friend, you just decide." ”

Qin Yujia, who was sitting on it, suddenly stiffened when he saw Hu Li beside Xiao Qiao, this embarrassing feeling, I don't know if Hu Li would be angry and never eat what he gave him again!

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the queen has arrived!"

"Ministers knock to see Majesty, long live Majesty, knock to see the queen, Niangniang Chitose." With the sound of the communication, the hall hugged and knelt, and Hu Li also followed Xiao Qiao to kneel on the cushion, his eyes purring.

"Flat." Emperor Huiming sat on the throne, and the queen mother sat beside him.

The ministers sat down again, and many people were relieved to see that Emperor Huiming was in good spirits.

King Jin listened to Emperor Huiming say festive words, his eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that the little doctor had succeeded. King Jin lightly moved his finger to the entourage standing behind him, and the entourage bowed and left the main hall.

Father, if you want to blame it, you will be blamed for occupying the throne!

"Father, my sons congratulate my father, and I wish my father a long life." Halfway through the banquet, King Jin stood up, he motioned for his subordinates to bring up something covered with a red cloth, and after speaking, the red cloth was uncovered, and there was a "hiss" sound in the hall.

Under the red cloth, there will be a huge natural jade, and the cracks inside the jade are just right to form a dragon pattern.

Emperor Huiming laughed and clapped his hands, "Not bad." ”

Since King Jin has given gifts, the other princes and princes naturally can't help but give gifts. Lord Rui offered a bottle of pills obtained from the divine doctor, which is said to be able to give birth to human flesh and bones. Emperor Huiming was also in a good mood and accepted it.

The Seventh Prince is now not on an errand, and is still studying in the Royal Academy, so he can only offer a pair of Baishou characters, which can be regarded as sincere.

When it came to Qin Yuyi, Qin Yuyi was stunned for a moment, in fact, it was from the time everyone started to give gifts, Qin Yuyi began to be confused.

Before Lin Guiren left, although he had told Qin Yuyi some rules, Qin Yuyi had already forgotten them. Although Xiao Qiao taught him a lot of things, Qin Yuyi's mind was mostly full of all kinds of twists and turns.

Fortunately, he had a lot of things with him and could still take them to top one, Qin Yuyi took out a defense map from his arms and offered it.

"Father, this is the northwest defense map set by the sons and ministers according to the current situation in the northwest and several generals, and I take this opportunity to dedicate it to my father."

Emperor Huiming motioned to the little eunuch to take it, this Northwest Pass Defense Map was originally intended to be presented to his teacher after he saw it, but he could only use it now to make up the number.

Emperor Huiming also went to the northwest in his early years, and when he saw this map, he understood how useful this map was, Emperor Huiming looked at Qin Yuyi and asked in a low voice: "You made this map?" ”

"Erchen did it with a few adults, Erchen only provided the terrain of the northwest, and the various defense points were discussed by the adults according to the actual situation." Qin Yuyi bowed down and pushed out most of the credit.

Emperor Huiming just wanted to say something, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the hall, Emperor Huiming frowned, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, and a team of soldiers armed with swords poured in, surrounding the entire hall.

The third prince stood up with a smile!
