The palace banquet was set at noon today, and as the new emperor's first banquet for ministers, no one dared not to appreciate his face. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even the ministers who had previously complained of illness were in high spirits.

"Niangniang, the sour plum soup is here." As the queen, Shen Qiwu came very early, and she sat on the lotus platform in full costume, quietly looking at the group of ministers below.

Due to the hot weather, Wanqing had already prepared a sour plum soup for Shen Qiwu to relieve the heat, and it was placed on the small table in front of Shen Qiwu at this time.

Shen Qiwu nodded, Wanqing is very intimate about this. She can always think of something that other palace maids can't do, which must be her experience in the court for many years.

While drinking sour plum soup, he looked at the minister below.

"Sister, you're so early." At this time, the imperial concubine Qin Ya came.

The imperial concubine is wearing a luxurious long skirt today, the corners of the skirt are a hundred birds and a phoenix, with a graceful and luxurious peony, but her delicate and delicate figure of a Jiangnan woman is highlighted.

The relationship between Shen Qiwu and Qin Ya is still very harmonious so far, and she can't afford to make trouble in the palace by herself, so she said with a smile: "I got up early, so I came first." ”

Qin Ya's seat was facing Shen Qiwu, but it was a little shorter. The difference between the identities of the two in this matter, there is still a seat in the middle, which is Emperor Zhao Mu's.

"Sister, I really don't care about my body." Qin Ya pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly asked, "I heard that Your Majesty went to my sister's place last night." ”

Shen Qiwu didn't understand what she meant, and glanced at her, "Your Majesty was tired last night, come to me to talk." ”

"Your Majesty really loves my sister."

Qin Ya said a wordless without a head, and no longer spoke, looking for her father among the ministers.

The governor of Qin was originally from the capital, and now that Zhao Mu is the emperor, as the prince of the country, he can naturally step down from the post of governor of Jiangnan and return to Beijing to stay by his daughter's side.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" With the high announcement of the old eunuch Jiang, Zhao Mulong walked in.

Although the government affairs are heavy, Zhao Mu still looks energetic, and his face does not show any fatigue. It seems that after going back last night, Zhao Mu also listened to Shen Qiwu's words and rested early.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers fell to their knees.

Zhao Mu waved his hand, "Let's be flat." Today is a palace banquet, and you don't need to be formal. ”

Zhao Mu walked to the lotus platform, saw Shen Qiwu and Qin Ya, and nodded to them.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." Shen Qiwu and Qin Ya saluted in unison.

Zhao Mu smiled at them, and hurriedly supported Shen Qiwu, "They are all husband and wife, what kind of courtesy." ”

After Qin Ya got up, she looked at Zhao Mu with a smile and held Shen Qiwu's hand.

After the arrival of the emperor, the palace feast was announced.

Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the table one after another, and the cups and lamps intersected, although the atmosphere was warm, they all maintained the appearance of courtiers, and even joked with each other and paid attention to Zhao Mu's expression at any time.

Today's Zhao Mu was extremely restrained, although he always had a smile on his face, he was very silent and looked at the group of courtiers below. has begun to slowly embody a kind of mental skill that an emperor should have.

"Your Majesty, the concubine toasts you." Qin Ya lifted the water and wine, got up slowly, and looked at Zhao Mu with a smile.

Zhao Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I also respect the concubine." I wish Concubine Ai eternal youth and beauty. After saying that, the two drank water and wine.

Shen Qiwu never raised her glass, because she saw Shen Fuguo.

Shen Fuguo was also looking at her, with a lot of things in his eyes.

"Queen, why are you not feeling well today?" Zhao Mu on the side noticed that Shen Qiwu had not drunk a glass of wine, thinking that she was not feeling well, and asked with concern.

Shen Qiwu came back to his senses and shook his head.

"The concubine was just out of her mind just now, and the concubine also saluted Your Majesty with a cup."

"Good, good." Zhao Muyi said three good words in a row, looking very happy. After a drink, he said with concern: "If you are tired, go back to the palace first." Wait until I come to see you. ”

"No need Your Majesty, the concubine is really fine." Shen Qiwu smiled at Zhao Mu and said that he was really fine. In order to make Zhao Mu believe, Shen Qiwu drank a few glasses of water and wine in a row, and a little blush couldn't help but appear on his cold face.

"You, you can't drink alcohol and still drink so much in one go." Although Zhao Mu was complaining about Shen Qiwu, his tone was very gentle, and he smiled helplessly at Shen Qiwu.

Qin Ya drank a few glasses silently on the side, and when she saw this, she said: "It turns out that my sister can't drink, so she should listen to Your Majesty and drink a few glasses." ”

Shen Qiwu raised his eyebrows, raised his wine glass to her, and then smiled: "What my sister said is that my sister is willful." ”

Zhao Mu looked at the two of them, just drinking water and wine with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, Generalissimo Li Yang of the Northern Army is asking to see you outside the palace!"

"Really? Hurry up! Zhao Mu was overjoyed.

If you want to talk about this generalissimo Li Yang, it is a legendary figure of the Great Zhou. led troops to fight outside, rarely defeated, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the military god of Shangdazhou. At the moment, he was at the palace banquet, but he didn't expect this legendary figure to return to the capital.

During the banquet, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Li Ji, heard that his father was outside the hall, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and then it was quickly replaced by heaviness. He was a military figure, so he naturally knew why his father came back at this time, and looked at Zhao Mu who was sitting on the lotus platform with some concern.

The sound of armor filled the hall, and a general in military uniform slowly walked outside the door.

It was an old man in his fifties, and his face was grim. The years carved knife marks on his face, but the gaze in his eyes was as sharp as an eagle, and he strode under the lotus platform and looked at Zhao Mu.

"Old minister Li Yang knocks to see Your Majesty!" Li Yang knelt on one knee and buried his head in it.

Zhao Mu hurriedly got up and asked Jiang Heng to quickly help Li Yang up.

"The old general, the elder of the three dynasties, has made great contributions to the Great Zhou, and he will give him a seat!"

"The old minister thanked Your Majesty!" Li Yang clasped his fists and saluted, and naturally sat in the banquet.

Zhao Mu looked like he had seen the person he admired, and he kept his eyes on Li Yang's body for a while, and couldn't help asking: "The old general fought against the Jin army in Helan Mountain, and now he is rushing back to the capital, but what does the northern army want from the imperial court?" As long as I can do it, it will be arranged for the old general. ”

"Don't dare!" Li Yang snorted lightly, looked around at the ministers of civil and military affairs, and asked with his fists clenched: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what day is it today, and why is there a banquet in the palace?" ”

Zhao Mu smiled at him and said, "Today is just a banquet for the ministers after I ascend the throne. ”

Li Yang's eyes gradually cooled, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty is ridiculous! Now that the Jin Guoren army is pressing, the situation is not optimistic! Your Majesty doesn't think about military affairs, but drinks and has fun with his ministers in the palace? (To be continued.) )
