After the festival, the rulers, ministers, generals and nobles of the forbidden army toasted to the emperor and queen in turn, and the emperor and queen responded well. Liu Chengyou basically tasted it, which means that the left and right sides are drunk in an atmosphere, and it is enough to feel the position, and no one dares to have more power to drink. Even so, it was a few glasses of wine and a drunken face.

Liu Chengxun, the king of Huaiyang, also took the initiative to step forward, first to respect the Queen Mother, and then Liu Chengyou and Dafu.

"Second brother, sister-in-law, my brother respects you!"

It didn't take long to open the mansion, but Liu Chengxun has changed a lot, after all, he is "independent". is in the period of voice change, and the voice is a little ugly, but the immature breath can't hide it.

Liu Chengyou signaled to him, the two brothers drank to each other, put down the cup Liu Chengyou still did not forget to educate: "I allowed you to go out of the palace and open the mansion, I have high hopes for you, you are good at studying, diligent in martial arts, Li Song They are all talents in the world, don't take them lightly and act recklessly." I will take time to examine your schoolwork! ”

"Yes!"

Because he has always been in awe of this brother, Liu Chengxun listened to Liu Chengyou's words, was very serious, and nodded in response, but when he heard the last sentence, his little face was inevitably bitter. During this time, under the supervision of Li Song and other subordinates, he was very sad, although he went out of the palace, he was more restrained than in the palace.

But in the same way, Liu Chengxun was not as out of tune as when he was in the palace, which made Liu Chengyou, who was secretly paying attention, very satisfied.

On the side, Li saw this scene of "brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers", and his kind face showed obvious relief.

"Erlang, I don't have much energy, so I'll go back to the palace first." Seeing that it was almost over, Li took the initiative to say to Liu Chengyou.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou observed the Queen Mother's eyes, and saw that she did not look very drunk, so he respectfully gave her a salute and instructed the chamberlain to take care of her.

"Lady, accompany me to toast Zhongqing!" After the Queen Mother left, Liu Chengyou greeted Dafu.

Dafu is naturally willing, polite and responsive, holding the cup and driving. Glancing at Gao's family, the concubine saw it, and although there was a smile on the jade face, it was not so natural. On weekdays, it may not be so deep, but on such an important occasion, the status gap between the queen and the concubine is undoubtedly revealed, even if Liu Chengyou is both rainy and dew to the two daughters on weekdays.

Liu Chengyou, who is in high spirits, naturally will not care about the thoughts of his only concubine now, and together with Dafu, starting from Zaichen, he will respect them one by one.

First of all, Wang Zhang, this is the only minister in the entire court who was used as a tool by Liu Chengyou, noticing the white bun of the temples under Wang Zhang's crown, Liu Chengyou said in a sincere tone: "Since the beginning of Jinyang, Wang Qing has been in charge of wealth, and he has been in charge of wealth for several years, and he has not been slack. I have been suffering from border troubles, quelling internal rebellions, raising the army and civilians, and also relying on Qing's efforts to raise supplies. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, saints! Wang Zhang was very moved, drinking it all in one gulp.

"Yang Qing personally undertakes to take care of his life, assists me, handles national affairs, appeases people's hearts, and is well-organized, and the mechanism is orderly, and I also remember Qing's merits and hardships!" For Yang Wei, Liu Chengyou still has a pleasant face.

Although, all along, Liu Chengyou has deeply hated Yang Wei's arrogance, ignorance of the general situation, and no king's eyes, but he has no intention of denying his political achievements.

This is probably the first time that Liu Chengyou has praised him so frankly, and Yang Wei was also a little surprised, paying attention to the grin on the corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth. didn't even glance at the queen on the king's side, stood indifferently for a while, and then raised his glass a little sluggishly, still reserved: "The minister was blessed by the first emperor, and what he did was only done to repay him." ”

Yang Wei's words revealed a meaning, he was to repay Liu Zhiyuan's kindness.

Sometimes, I really don't know where Yang Wei's stubborn arrogance comes from when facing Liu Chengyou, or it has formed a habit that is difficult to change.

However, to this point, Liu Chengyou has directly ignored it, took a sip, and left. It was the big Fu who was following aside, and after his face changed slightly, he regained his warm smile, but his phoenix eyes glanced at Yang Wei, who was sitting slowly, a little coldly.

Quietly, Liu Chengyou walked in front of Guo Wei and Wang Jun, and Erchen stood up with a cup at the same time.

There were two waiters waiting beside him, and Zhang Dejun personally held a bottle of wine and poured wine. Liu Chengyou looked at Guo and Wang: "Recently, the reorganization of the army, the second secretary has worked hard to advance, his heart is stable, the soldiers have no complaints, and the secretary has made outstanding achievements. I would like to thank you for this wine! ”

"Your Majesty is serious!" Guo Wei, as usual, maintained a humble posture.

Wang Jun was arrogant and calmly accepted Liu Chengyou's praise, but he was still saving face and laughing.

Next is Feng Dao and other prime ministers with guards, generals of the two divisions in front of the palace, and those festivals, others are not qualified to accept the personal toast of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Chengyou does not have so much energy and alcohol.

Even so, Liu Chengyou still toasted to the senior officers of the forbidden army who were at the banquet, which can be regarded as preferential treatment and attention to the army.

The winter solstice palace banquet, although the preparation time is long, but the main banquet did not last too long, in addition to the emperor's speech is more important, nothing more than eating and drinking, music and dance are not appreciated by most people, and drinking, after all, is in the palace, how can it be really presumptuous.

It took less than an hour and a half before and after, about the beginning of the time, with Liu Chengyou simply making a few closing remarks, and after retiring with the queen and concubine, the first large-scale palace banquet of the Han Dynasty in the Qianyou years was declared over, and under the guidance of the envoys and guards, he retired in an orderly manner.

Gong E was wearing lanterns, the inner servants were with each other, the front and back armor guards were guarded, Liu Chengyou and Dafu and his wife were snuggling together, walking between the hall corridors. The wind howled and did not speak for a while.

Looking outside the palace, a little confusion appeared on Liu Chengyou's drunken face, and he seemed to be able to hear the relaxed atmosphere of the officials, soldiers and civilians in the city of Tokyo, celebrating the solar terms together. Even if tonight is over, the days that should be bitter must be lived again.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have dispersed, and Uncle Guo is sending someone to clean up the remnants!" A eunuch hurriedly followed, muttering something in Zhang Dejun's ear, and he would report.

"Hmm!" Liu Chengyou only answered softly.

Stopping, Liu Chengyou stretched, yawned, and a mouthful of white vapor overflowed. Turning his head to look at Da Fu, the yellow palace lamp light looked a little ambiguous, shining on his queen's face, the floating little wine, making the beauty a little less dignified on weekdays, between the smiles, with a little bit of bright color.

Liu Chengyou did not shy away from hugging the big talisman, causing her to snort softly, almost touching her face, and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Da Fu shrank in Liu Chengyou's arms, and looked at him with watery eyes: "It's rare to see an official family with such a relieved smile like tonight." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou was slightly surprised, and subconsciously raised his hand and touched his cheek.

Smiling lightly again, Liu Chengyou said, "Let's go, go to Kunming Palace!" ”

Liu Chengyou obviously planned to have an in-depth exchange with the queen, but Dafu shook his head: "The official family should go to the Yaohua Hall tonight." ”

Stunned for a moment when he heard this, Liu Chengyou let go of the big talisman and looked at her seriously, with curiosity in his eyes.

Da Fu smiled gently and said, "Tonight, in front of the king, the concubine is already satisfied. ”

Pushing the man out, Dafu's virtuous appearance touched Liu Chengyou's heart even more, is the virtuous queen like this......
