The footsteps of the Yuan Day are getting closer and closer, and the officials who have the heart to deal with government affairs are becoming more and more rare, except for Liu Keshi and Ye Qing in Chang'an City, the rest of the people are predicting and waiting for what kind of storm Ye Qing will set off in the north after the Yuan Dynasty.

The closer to the Yuan Day, the more people's minds are attracted by all kinds of excitement, although the war of the destruction of Xia and Liao hindered the cultural exchanges between the East and the West, but it does not mean that there are no merchants from the Western Regions and further places in Chang'an City today.

It is still a little dilapidated, like the Chang'an City that is in ruins, and now it has gradually had a trace of real vitality and business opportunities, and the business travelers, tourists, etc., who come from the south to the north, from the east to the west, have also begun to gradually gather in Chang'an City again, making the original Chang'an City a little more dilapidated than before.

Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji also rushed to Chang'an City before the first day, Ye Qing's move also made Shi Miyuan, Han Yanxuan, and Rongguo Gong Zhao Shikui instantly realize that Ye Qing would inevitably make a big move in Chang'an after the first day, but now there is not even a trace of rumors, which makes several people more and more curious, what will Ye Qing do next?

The streets and alleys of Chang'an City, with the end of the war between Xia Jing and Yanzhou, are full of joy and relaxed atmosphere, and the Yuan Day is coming, now walking on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, you can also feel the simplicity and festivity.

Although it cannot be compared with the exquisite Jiangnan water town, at least today's Chang'an City has gradually had a real peaceful atmosphere and thriving vitality.

Whether it is Shi Miyuan or Han Yanxuan, or Zhao Shikui, they will also take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere of Yuan Ri to tour the entire Chang'an City, while Ye Qing summoned the officials in Chang'an again after Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji arrived in Chang'an City, but they refused the participation of Shi Miyuan and the three.

And the three of them didn't seem to care very much about Ye Qing expelling the three of them, it seemed that they didn't care what Ye Qing would discuss with the officials of the North Land this time, maybe they were already sure in their hearts...... Soon they will find out what Ye Qing said in the Chang'an Government Office today.

The officials in Chang'an City, who have been stable for a long time, are busy, and the people are also busy with the necessary things for the festival.

The crowded royal street is still in full swing, shouting and laughter, the shouts of the coachman and the sedan chair driver are intertwined, and the tactful and sad songs of the Goolan Washer are mixed with the crowd from time to time.

The sonorous voice of the storyteller, the greetings of other guests in the teahouse, the whispers and graceful shyness of the literati ladies, and the Lin'an with small bridges and flowing waters, pavilions and pavilions are a beautiful scenery.

The peddlers and pawns also had smiles on their faces, taking advantage of the approaching New Year's Day, either to exchange some New Year's goods, or to expect someone to be willing to spend more generously at this time.

The carriage slowly drove out of Zhonghe Lane, and the commanders of the forbidden army, Lu Zhong and Wu Gui, who were patrolling the streets, hurriedly signaled to the guards behind them and hurriedly made way for the carriage of the Ye Mansion.

The reason why Yefu's carriage is so recognizable, in addition to the extremely close relationship with the Imperial City Division, is that the coachman who drives is always completely different from other coachmen in Lin'an City.

In Lin'an City, there has never been a place

A coachman is dressed as an outsider, and then he can confidently and proudly drive to accept everyone's side eyes, but the coachman in Yefu is actually driven by a foreigner, and it also gives people a kind of driving as if driving is an extremely noble errand.

Zhong Qing in the carriage is much thinner than some time ago, and that kind of elegant and peerless temperament has once again replaced her image of a pregnant woman a few days ago, and now Zhong Qing, especially after Ye Qing reconfirmed the surname of the child she gave birth to, Zhong Qing is like being reborn, and the whole person looks dazzling, which makes Li Fengniang in the palace jealous and puzzled, other women will become haggard after giving birth, but Zhong Qing, after giving birth to a boy to Ye Qing, has become younger and more beautiful.

The country's natural fragrance and gorgeous temperament are even a little more pure than that of her, the queen.

Zhong Qing, who had a smile on the corner of her mouth, sat alone in the carriage, while Tao Qian drove the carriage in the direction of the palace and Ningmen.

The Hening Gate was obviously accustomed to the carriage of the Ye Mansion, and also for Zhong Qing who got off the carriage, after being slightly amazed, even the waist card was only a cursory look, and then Zhong Qing walked into the palace.

Following the eunuch Qingqiu slowly towards the direction of the Renming Hall where the queen Li Fengniang was located, Zhong Qing, who was already very familiar with the palace, looked at the eunuch Qingqiu who was walking in front of him from time to time.

Since this eunuch served Li Fengniang and before and after, he has also become one of the few figures in the palace that court officials attach great importance to, and this person will also do his best to please the queen, and he is related to the Imperial City Division, and now in private, he has also gathered a lot of his own henchmen in front of him.

As for this matter, Li Fengniang was not clear, and Zhong Qing did not know, but Qingqiu's every move did not get rid of the surveillance of the Imperial City Division on him.

It is precisely because Zhong Qing looks at Qingqiu's back from time to time, so that Qingqiu, who walks in front, has a feeling of being on his back along the way.

Seeing that the Renming Hall was already in sight, looking at the palace maid Zhu Ye'er who was standing at the door of the main hall and greeting Zhong Qing for the queen, Qingqiu's feeling was slightly better, and when he stood at the door of the main hall and respectfully sent Zhong Qing in, Qingqiu actually felt a sense of relief, and then he found that his entire back had been soaked with sweat unconsciously.

"Such a powerful woman, no wonder she can hold the Imperial City Division firmly in her hands." Qingqiu looked at the bluestone slab at the foot of the main hall of Renming Hall without squinting, and said like an old monk.

In the main hall, Li Fengniang looked at Zhong Qing, who was more and more radiant and still peerless, although there was a smile on her face, but the taste in her heart was mixed, she was really jealous and curious, how Zhong Qing did it look so young and beautiful now.

But Li Fengniang, who has always been arrogant and has always been a little dissatisfied with Zhong Qing, would not ask such curiosity out of her mouth even if she would rather suffocate it in her stomach.

The first day is approaching, but it will not hinder the two women from arguing with each other, and Zhu Ye'er on the side has long been accustomed to the fact that as soon as the queen and Mrs. Ye meet, they will taunt each other with guns and sticks in their words.

Zhong Qing's personality has always given people a feeling of intellectual gentleness, but whether it is Zhu Ye'er or Li Fengniang, they all know that this woman is not simple, especially since the Imperial City Division handed it over to Zhong Qing after Ye Qing left Lin'an, the original intention was to let Zhong Qing not be bullied by others in Lin'an.

But that's just over a year

In less than two years, Zhong Qing relied on his own strength, not only firmly controlling the Imperial City Division, but even Li Fengniang, who secretly instructed Qingqiu to seize power, suffered several secret losses in front of Zhong Qing, and even Li Fengniang was secretly warned by Zhong Qing several times, making her very disgraced.

So now, the two women are in the main hall of Renming Palace, seemingly greeting gently, but the smell of gunpowder in their words, the feeling of saber rattling has not diminished at all.

The two looked at each other and smiled again, this time the verbal exchange unexpectedly ended in a tie again, but looking at the appearance of the cyan veins on the back of Li Fengniang's snow-white hand, she knew that this draw still made her feel like she had suffered a loss.

"Mrs. Ye, I heard that you just came back from Lonely Mountain yesterday?" Li Fengniang looked at her white fingers and glanced at Zhong Qing casually, in order to express her disdain and high up.

"Back to the queen, yes, the concubine just came back from the lonely mountain yesterday. But today...... The queen summoned her concubine into the palace, I'm afraid it wasn't for this, right? Zhong Qing was neither humble nor arrogant, and the smile on the corners of her mouth was slightly upturned, as if carved out of a mold with Ye Qing's trademark gentle smile, and said lightly.

Li Fengniang slanted her eyes, and smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth: "It seems that Ye Qing has already informed you, otherwise, I'm afraid you will always serve in Gushan and refuse to return to Lin'ancheng, right?" Zhong Qing, Ming people don't say dark words, this palace is really curious, you serve Gushan so wholeheartedly, are you really thinking about Ye Qing, or do you want to become a woman who has lost her husband again? ”

"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are kind to the concubine, and the concubine does not dare to forget, and now the Empress Dowager is sick, and it is only natural for the concubine to go to the lonely mountain to serve." Zhong Qing said with a slight smile, although she didn't say a word of mockery of Li Fengniang, but her expression and tone were obviously accusing Li Fengniang of not knowing what filial piety was.

"Humph! If he hadn't been bent on abolishing the palace and establishing a new one, how would the palace have done this? Zhong Qing, this palace tells you, don't think that the emperor and the queen mother like you, you can not take this palace in your eyes, don't forget, the emperor is not as simple as you see! Be careful one day, stealing chickens will not make a handful of rice! Li Fengniang couldn't help but clench her fists and said powderily.

Zhong Qing lowered her eyes, and after a pause, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Thank you for the queen's reminder, the concubine knows in her body and mind how to help the concubine's husband." ”

In the end, the five words of the concubine's husband, Zhong Qing bit it very seriously, and it was not a taste to listen to Li Fengniang's ears.

He snorted coldly, his face became more and more cold, and he said, "This palace summoned you today, I want to know, what did Ye Qing say to you about the selection of the Grand Protector of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate?" How can King Qing be able to serve as the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the palace does not agree to this matter. ”

"Who does the queen think is the most suitable person?" Zhong Qing's expression also became solemn, along the way, she originally thought that Queen Li Fengniang just wanted to control the dispatch of Anton and Anbei, the two capital protectors who were about to be reset.

Unexpectedly, Li Fengniang even wanted to grasp the dispatch of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in her hands.

"Since Ye Qing can also be the deputy protector of the three major capital protectors, why can't he take care of this dispatch by one person?" After Li Fengniang hesitated, she still directly stated her ambitions.
