Yingluo followed the two out of the inn without the slightest hesitation, and Zichai looked at Yingluo worriedly for a long time along the way, until Yingluo couldn't help but glared at Zichai a few times, and Zichai turned around stupidly.

When she arrived in the mansion, Yingluo routinely explained to Yu Chifeng what Qi Xu had seen her this time, naturally she didn't tell the truth, some things always had to make up some lies, and then left Yuchi Feng and went straight to her courtyard.

The second day is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the last day of the year. The housekeeper ordered the subordinates of the Jade Mansion to put up lights in the house early on, adding a lot of joy.

This day is also the day when the emperor is finally determined, Yingluo went to the household after breakfast, but today Yingluo was a little worried, I don't know if Qi Xu will change his mind because of yesterday's events.

However, it is obviously Yingluo who is wrong, although Qi Xu did not cast a look at Yingluo on this day, but when the emperor was finally finalized, there was no doubt that Yingluo was still Yingluo, Yingluo was relieved, fortunately, this agreement was not ruined because of yesterday's events.

The imperial merchant confirmed, so today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Yingluo family must not be used at home, so it is just lunch and the family sits together, and they are happy.

Maybe it's the year together that makes them smile. Therefore, the family happily passed this lunch, and then, the decree from the superiors said that the whole family should enter the palace at the end of the Shen period. This is to go back to their respective yards and tidy themselves up.

After Yingluo arrived in the courtyard, she casually asked Zichai to find a man's robe, although she was a woman, but it was the righteous son of the Yu family who showed up for the Jade Mansion outside, so she had to enter the public as a man, and when it came to Shen Shizhong, the family gathered in the front hall, and Yuchi Feng probably talked about the rules of the palace.

Because the imperial merchant is not an official at all, the general banquet will not be too noticeable in the corner, but Yu Chifeng still carefully told them, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it is better to prepare early than to prevent it.

When they were all packed, they took a carriage to the palace gate to assemble. This time, I went to the Suzaku Gate, which is directly connected to Suzaku Street, so you can reach Suzaku Gate by driving a carriage along Suzaku Street.

After Yingluo and them arrived, there were many carriages parked near the Suzaku Gate, and those people undoubtedly came with their families, and there were other people with official positions, not all the royal merchants came, and those imperial merchants who were far away from Chang'an naturally only arrived at the Suzaku gate on behalf of the participating imperial merchants.

When the time came, the small door next to the Suzaku Gate opened, and according to their identity, they could not enter the palace directly through the Suzaku Gate, and the avenue in the middle of the palace must not be something they could walk, so everyone walked towards the main hall on both sides. Due to the large number of people, this banquet was not arranged in the main hall, but in the imperial garden.

They were all led by the eunuchs to the imperial garden, and walked to the seats arranged for them, which were really far away from the emperor's position and in the corner, but it was difficult for people to find out. Seeing that the people around them had all sat down beforehand, they also sat down.

Yu Ziyou slowly didn't say a word, just stared at the teacup in front of her, but Yu Qinyao secretly looked around, but the jade hand tightly grasped Yingluo's sleeve.

Yingluo suddenly felt funny, so she had to whisper to Yuqin Yao, "Sister, I'm dressed as a man today, if you have to hold me tightly, others will laugh at me." ”

Yu Qinyao pouted her cherry mouth, and said very dissatisfied, "My sister is my sister in women's clothes, and my brother is my brother in men's clothes, who dares to disagree." Yingluo smiled dumbly, looking at Yu Qinyao's righteous appearance and couldn't bear to blame. However, Lianniang, who was sitting next to Yuchi Feng, glanced at Yu Qinyao as if warning, and Yu Qinyao let go of Yingluo's sleeve at this time.

After a while, the emperor arrived at the imperial garden, because he was meeting with his courtiers, and only one queen was with him.

The current emperor is forty and a half years old, but his eyebrows still reveal majesty, and he does not look old at all, and the queen on his side is his married couple, who are now about forty, but because of proper maintenance, the charm still exists.

At this moment, all the courtiers stood up and saluted the two people sitting on the throne, "Long live the emperor, long live the queen." ”

And the emperor said to the courtiers below with a smile on his face, "Let's be even, if you don't have the courtesy of a monarch and a minister today, you just have a big family eating together." As soon as the words fell, everyone replied unanimously, "Thank you, Emperor." Then he got up and sat down under the gesture of the emperor.

Then the stage built in the imperial garden began to sing, because Yingluo and they were not close, some could not hear clearly, so they naturally did not care about this opera, but just looked up in the direction of the emperor a few times.

Although the emperor looked at the stage with a smile, Yingluo always felt that his heart was not on the stage, and the emperor and the queen sat side by side. Below them were his sons. There are not many emperors today, the eldest prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, the eighth prince, the youngest is also the twelfth prince, and there are many princesses and there are seven who have been married, but they are not here today, and it is not appropriate to show their heads.

The eldest prince Qi Yun was born by the queen and was the son of the righteous and obedient son-in-law, so he was named the crown prince from birth. The second prince Qi Xun, and his mother is now the Duan Concubine. The fifth prince Qi Xu and the eighth prince Qi Ran were born to Concubine Mei, while the twelfth prince, who is only three years old so far, is now the most favored concubine Rou.

So except for the twelve princes who did not attend, the other princes had already sat down next to each other under the emperor's head, but somehow, she aimed at Qi Xu at a glance, Qi Xu sat there, not staring at the stage, but looking at the wine cup in front of him, Xu felt Yingluo's gaze at him, and those eyes came up, but they didn't stop, they flashed, it seemed that Qi Xu was going to avoid her.

Yingluo knew very well that Qi Xu's words yesterday must have hurt Qi Xu, but if she didn't cut the mess quickly, she was afraid that this mess would become more and more messy, and finally she was scarred by entanglement and pulling, but she was also heartbroken, but she had no choice. This method is a bit harsh, but it is also extremely useful.

This scene finally ended, and then some graceful women came out from behind the scenes, veiled, elegantly flicking their water sleeves, beautiful.

During the banquet, everyone raised their glasses to the emperor, wishing their country prosperity, and the laughter and laughter, whether false or true, also made the dinner last until the middle of the war.
