On this day, after Huiqiu came to ridicule and ridicule again, Ruliu couldn't help but say to Shu Mulu: "Master, do you still want to indulge her like this?" ”

Shu Mulu was passing the embroidery needle through the tight brocade, wearing a peacock blue silk thread at the end of the needle, and said without raising his head: "What if you don't connive, she is now the person next to Cheng Concubine, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog." ”

"But she's too much." Yushan is a good xingzi, even she can't help it, you can imagine how excessive Huiqiu is.

"I know it." After embroidering a few stitches, Shu Mulu put down the needle, wiped his hands, raised his eyes, and said: "Heavenly cycle, retribution is not happy." She has made such an inch, and one day she will be punished, so watch it. ”

After entering December, Qinghai continued to have good news, Nian Qianyao led the army to recapture the occupied city in succession, for his excerpts on the table of military exploits, Yinzhen each letter is approved by the Zhu pen, full of praise and praise. At the same time, Yue Zhongqi's secret fold was presented to the imperial case through a hidden channel, which recorded in detail Nian Qianyao's movements and specific combat situation.

It is undeniable that after suffering a big loss from Luobuzang Danjin, Nian Qianyao's actions were much more cautious, but he still couldn't escape the eight words of self-righteousness and great joy.

After a detailed analysis of Nian Qianyao's several battles and the current situation in the imperial court, Yinzhen and Yunxiang worked together to formulate a strategy and combat deployment to achieve the goal of getting rid of Nian Qianyao in the last major battle. If everything goes well, in the spring of next year, the three words of Nian Qianyao will return to dust forever, as long as this henchman is eliminated, the Nian family will naturally be uprooted.

Because this year, there are rookie girls entering the palace, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is more lively than the previous year, the Qianqing Palace is full of nine tables, in addition to the concubines in the palace, the princes and bellors also enter the palace to enjoy the fireworks and songs and dances.

During the entire night banquet, Yin Zhen didn't pay attention to Ling Ruo, as if he was transparent, but kept talking to the queen and Nian's family.

Ling Ruo was silent, just bowed her head to drink, and the Guerjia clan touched her lightly and said, "You and the emperor's heart knot has not been untied yet?" Seeing Ling Ruo's acquiescence, she shook her head and said, "Are you going to leave it like this?" "At this night banquet, Wen Ruyan said that she was unwell and did not participate.

"The emperor doesn't want to see me, what can I do?" Ling Ruo drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the wine that fell into her throat was like fire in her stomach, causing a layer of soberness in her eyes.

"Sister Wen is already like this, if you are like this again, we will really be defeated." The Guerjia clan smiled at the smiling Nala clan and said softly, "Once she finds out the truth, she won't be polite to us." ”

Ling Ruo picked up the wine glass that the palace people had poured again, and said lightly in his hand: "Sister, do you feel that what we do is empty, the emperor can spoil me today, and he can also abolish me tomorrow, I have no special meaning to him at all." ”

Guerjia shook his head and said, "I don't know about others, but you definitely aren't. It's the first time in so many years that I've seen the emperor put so much thought into a woman. And this time, I think the emperor deliberately snubbed you. ”

"Sister, you're exalting me too much." In such words, another glass of wine fell into his stomach, and Ling Ruo, who was immersed in the wine, did not notice the afterglow of Yinzhen always falling on him, and the increasingly unsightly face.

"No, you trust me." As soon as Guerjia's voice fell, he heard Yinzhen's voice in front of him, but he ordered Sixi to pass a copy of the dragon and phoenix dishes in front of him to Wen Rutian's table. The dishes on each table are roughly the same, but there are a few special dishes on Yinzhen and Nala's table that are not available at other tables, such as this dragon and phoenix Chengxiang.

However, according to the practice of Chinese New Year's Eve in the past, the empress may enjoy dishes, so that at least two portions of each dish are prepared in the imperial kitchen. Yin Zhen gave the order for only a moment, and a palace person carefully took a small portion of the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang and put it in front of Wen Rutian's table.

It is a great honor to be able to get the emperor's appreciation, and if it falls on the palace concubine, it can be used to measure the prosperity of her grace. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the one who received this favor, except for the Nian clan, Wen Ruqing was the first, she was flattered, and quickly got up to thank her.

"Sit down and taste the food, but your appetite." Yin Zhen said pleasantly.

"The emperor's reward is naturally the appetite of the concubines." Wen Rutian said this before tasting the food according to her words, almost as soon as the chopsticks were eaten, her brows furrowed, although she quickly let go, she was looked at by Nian, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Look at the way Wen Guiren's brows are wrinkled, it seems that she is a little insincere." ”

"Nope." Wen Ruyan hurriedly denied it, and then looked at Yin Zhen with some hesitation and said: "It's just that the concubine has never liked to eat sour food, so she frowned a little, but this dish is really delicious." ”

"Yes, I also remembered, so don't eat it anymore." When saying this, Yin Zhen was a little absent-minded, and the corner of his eye kept glancing in the direction where Ling Ruo was, seeing that Ling Ruo was just bowing his head and drinking, and he didn't look at it at all, he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, but it was inconvenient to attack in public.

He had the intention to show Ling Ruo the scene just now, but he didn't know that Ling Ruo didn't care at all, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

It's hateful, obviously she ignored herself first, and only thought about Concubine Hui, but she just snubbed her for a while to make her reflect on it, and at the same time think about who she should care about the most, she actually put on this posture.

Well, she doesn't care, so he doesn't need to care, she is not the only woman in the palace, there are concubines who are younger, more beautiful and obedient than her.

Driven by this thought, Yin Zhen withdrew his gaze from Ling Ruo and deliberately ignored it.

The feast was held until late, and then everyone waited for the arrival of the time of the year, when countless fireworks would bloom in the night sky.

Mo Yu took advantage of this opportunity to quietly come to Ling Ruo's side, and seeing that she was still holding a glass of wine, she said worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you, why do you keep drinking, but what happened between you and the emperor?" "After this night banquet, she found that the master and the emperor didn't even say a word, which was really not like usual."

"How many times have I said you, you are now Prince Yi's side Fujin, don't call this palace the master anymore, but you just don't listen. As for the ...... between the palace and the emperor," Ling Ruo smiled casually, and drank his wine dry before Mo Yu stopped him, "What can it be, it's just like this." ”

"But......" Before Mo Yu could say more, he suddenly heard a drum, and then with a "boom", an orange-red firework flew into the night sky with a long tail, and then exploded with a bang, turning into an instant of eternity.

The time has come......

At the beginning, the drums will sound every once in a while, but later they will gradually become denser, and the sound of drums and fireworks rising into the sky will resound in everyone's ears.

Everyone was curious to find the direction where the drums came from, and it was the first time in many years that the drums were accompanied by fireworks.
