Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the dormitory, a team of palace maids came and went, but they became more and more orderly, and all kinds of clothes and accessories were carried in and out, each of which was a rare treasure, but it was difficult to satisfy the people inside.

The palace ladies in the outer room stood neatly in two columns, and the trays in their hands were all rare treasures from various countries this year, which became the only objects in the world after the restructuring of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Liuzhu read them one by one, and was not satisfied with being screened out by her and put them back in the warehouse, leaving only those that fit Wei Ning's vision.

In the inner room, Peiyu combed Wei Ning's hair in front of the dresser, Wei Ning was dressed in a bedclothes, and let Peiyu move on her head. "Your Majesty, can you wear court clothes today?"

Wei Ning supported his chin with one hand, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and said: "I see that bright yellow every day, and my eyes are tired, so I won't wear it today." ”

Peiyu was busy with her hands, and she also said: "Your Majesty, today is a big occasion, you have been on the throne for so long, this is the first time to hold a banquet for civil and military officials and women of various families, you must dress up well." ”

As soon as Liuzhu came in, she heard Peiyu's words and couldn't help laughing. She continued: "The slave doesn't agree with this, our majesty just doesn't dress up, just go out like this, and you will be shocked, let alone dress up well, then you can't surprise their eyes." ”

Peiyu listened and hurriedly said: "What Liuzhu said is right, it is the slave maid who said it wrong." ”

Wei Ning couldn't help but smile, "There are a lot of little girls here today, and all of them can pinch out the water, I can't compete for the limelight." ”

Liuzhu smiled: "Your Majesty is also a little girl, if it weren't for such heavy makeup every day, anyone who sees you will think that you are a little girl who is not in time." ”

Wei Ning's eyes bent and said, "You dare to say anything." ”

Liuzhu said: "Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent a large number of new things, all of which are waiting outside. ”

Wei Ning thought for a while and instructed Liuzhu: "Only bring in the red clothes and let me see them." ”

Liuzhu clapped her hands, and several palace maids bowed their heads in a very regular manner and came in and stood in turn with the end plate.

Wei Ning stood up and swept over one by one, stopping beside the last palace maid.

The palace maid saluted without hurry, bowed her head and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this skirt is called the Golden Silk Nine Dragons Embroidered Skirt, because Your Majesty likes red the most, the Internal Affairs Office has purchased the only ten floating brocades in the country this year, these floating brocades are illuminated by the rising sun, but the brilliance can be shaken, and the audience is dazzled. And with the best 100 embroiderers in the country, embroider nine dragons with gold silk to soar, showing His Majesty's respect for the Son of Heaven. ”

Wei Ning gently stroked the skirt, and after pondering for a moment, she said: "The craftsmanship of the Internal Affairs Office is getting better and better, the skirt is very good, Liuzhu, reward." ”

After saying that, she went into the inner room, and Peiyu also went over to continue combing her hair.

The palace maid immediately knelt down and said, "The slave and maid thanked Your Majesty." ”

Liuzhu smiled and stuffed a heavy bag of silver into her hand, and said: "It is good to know the courtesy, Your Majesty appreciates you very much, work hard in the Internal Affairs Office, and there will always be a day when you will come out in the future." ”

The palace maid understood the meaning of Liuzhu's words, and quickly covered the expression on her face with joy, lowered her head and said calmly: "Yes, thank you aunt for mentioning it." ”

When everything was ready, it was already three hours later.

As soon as the time arrived, Wei Ning was ready to leave for the main hall, at this time, hundreds of civil and military officials, and women and dependents had already entered the banquet, and they could have a banquet just when Wei Ning arrived.

Wei Yu chirped: "Sister Huang, your clothes are so good-looking, I'm afraid only you can control it, anyway, I can't wear this kind of red, and I will be ten years old immediately when I wear it." ”

Although Wei Ning was annoyed, she always had a faint smile on her face, and she could only say helplessly: "It won't be boring to arrange you by my side today." ”

Wei Yan didn't appreciate it, wrinkled his little face, and complained: "Sister Huang, if you hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have go, this sitting is five hours, and I have to laugh with me all the time, and I can't shirk when someone comes to toast, how tired!" ”

Wei Ning sat firmly on the imperial bowl. Comforted softly: "You are the emperor, who dares to toast you?" Besides, you are seated next to me today. Don't worry, if there are really those who don't have long eyes, just let Ah Zhao stab them to death with a sword, don't worry about those who don't have them. ”

"And... I almost forgot, after the banquet, you take a good look at that Qin Jing, there is only one thing for you to participate, you have to worry about me, you know? ”

Wei Yu's face changed suddenly, and he was surprised: "So fast? Isn't he still a few days away? ”

Wei Ning said: "I just arrived last night, and I traveled non-stop from the border to Shengjing for more than half a month, and I didn't let him enter the palace to see him." After the banquet, you take a good look, and when I have time, I will hand over the position of commander of the forbidden army to him, and if you are in the palace, you will have more time together. ”

"You handed over the palace to him as soon as he came back, and you trusted him so much, but... What about Ah Zhao? Wei Yu didn't expect her imperial sister to hand over the forbidden army to Qin Jing, who had never even met in person, so she didn't care about Ah Zhao's feelings at all.

Wei Ning: "Ah Zhao is my secret guard, these should not have been handed over to him, but I haven't found the right person..."

Wei Yu pursed his lips, remembering Qin Ming, who had often been in and out of the Council Hall recently, and blurted out: "It seems that the Qin family has won the trust of the imperial sister..."

As she was talking, Long Yu shook slightly, and Wei Ning only felt that if Wei Yu hadn't been talking to her all the way to relieve her boredom, she would probably have fallen asleep. The hundreds of imperial honor guards in front of her and behind her, although they were orderly and neat, she only felt that it was extremely troublesome, and she didn't want to hold any banquets in the future.

Feeling a little bored, she said lazily: "You don't need to know this, care more about your life's affairs, and the imperial sister will be thankful." ”

This time, Wei Yu ignored her directly and silently turned his head to look at the other side.

Seeing that the emperor's guard of honor had arrived, the eunuch at the gate of the Jinluan Palace raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty has arrived." Emperor Anping arrived. ”

The originally noisy and noisy hall instantly fell silent, and everyone bowed down and saluted: "Welcome Your Majesty!" Emperor Anping! ”

Before the voice could answer, everyone in the hall bowed their heads, but their eyes were staring at the steps of the door, and they all had only one thought in their hearts, wanting to see with their own eyes what this empress who had been on the throne for three years but had never shown up was like.

They were all full of curiosity about the empress, and since they knew a month ago that she was going to hold a spring feast, they still felt like a dream.

Wei Ning, the fourth daughter of the first emperor Wei Tao, had been unknown before she ascended the throne, and when she was mentioned, people only knew one name.

In the spring banquet of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the empress who suddenly appeared unexpectedly did not attend, and in the following three years, she hardly appeared on any occasion, and all the banquets were canceled. Except for the mixed praise and criticism of her in private by courtiers, she exists almost exclusively in people's imaginations.

But in the last month, all kinds of rumors about her have been controversial in the market, and it seems that it is only nineteen years after she was born that this woman has really attracted attention.

No matter how their minds turned and turned a thousand times, Wei Ning didn't know at all, and only said in a deep voice as usual: "Flat." ”

Everyone in the hall said: "Thank you, Your Majesty", and then got up and looked at the door of the main hall in unison.

I saw a red-clothed man slowly walking into the main hall, suffocating and burning the hearts of everyone in the hall. The man put on thin makeup, his eyebrows were like smoke, and his eyes were as clear as a spring in the mountains. She walked forward unhurriedly, even if everyone's eyes were focused on her, she was not moved in the slightest, but walked towards the dragon chair in the main hall with a solemn face.

In this short distance, everyone standing in the hall felt that it was long and boundless, obviously just a thin woman, but the inviolable dignity of her body made people can't help but surrender willingly.

This... is their king...

*, the only empress in the Eight Wildernesses of Kyushu - Wei Ning.

Wei Ning stood on the dragon chair, glanced at the back of a week, and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been concentrating on state affairs, and I have never had a good drink with you. ”

"On weekdays, I strive to be perfect in government affairs, but it is often difficult to achieve my expectations, and sometimes it is inevitable to anger loyal ministers and good generals, which is my fault, and I would like to give you a cup today..."

Liu Xi immediately handed the wine glass to Wei Ning.

The wide sleeves swept through the air, Wei Ning raised his head and drank it in one gulp, poured the cup upside down, and a drop of wine fell in it. She smiled: "It's Wei Ning who has made amends to you, can you accept it?" ”

Everyone was stunned, as if they didn't expect her to come to this trick.

It was Ji Yan below who reacted first, he looked up at the radiant woman slightly, then picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine, holding the wine glass to her.

He said: "Wechen is afraid! Your Majesty has an order, don't dare to disobey. ”

Then I drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Ning stared at his wine glass and didn't say anything.

Then everyone saw Ji Yan's movements, and they followed his example and raised their wine glasses to salute the woman who was high above. "Wechen is terrified!"

Wei Ning smiled, sat on the upholstered dragon chair and lazily adjusted his posture. "Don't care about me today, you all have to drink and go home happy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone sat down.

At this time, Liu Xi clapped his hands, and a team of palace maids rushed in, and exquisite dishes were presented to people's tables.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancing girl waved her water sleeves and fluttered like a butterfly into the main hall.
