The huge court was filled with tables of eight immortals, and the tables were full of various desserts and fruits, and in the center of each table was a roast suckling pig about two feet long.

Liu Chunyan helped the queen mother to enter the palace last, just arrived at the door she had already smelled the smell of various delicacies, as soon as she entered the door to see the delicate grapes in front of her, she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

After a little retraction, Liu Chunyan saw that both sides of the hall were already full of court ministers, and the emperor and the concubines were sitting at the end.

Seeing the queen mother enter the hall, all the ministers stood up one after another, and the emperor also walked straight down from his position, took the queen mother from Liu Chunyan's hands, and sat down on the chair of the prince in the middle hall of the main hall.

"The Queen Mother is blessed with a long life, and her life is the same as that of the sky." As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, the ministers shouted in unison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a seat." The queen mother whispered, and the eunuchs on the side also shouted, "Flat, the ministers will sit." ”

After Liu Chunyan handed over the Queen Mother to the emperor, she found a seat in the corner and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, she found that it was Du Yuyan and Qin Muyu sitting next to her.

Then she scanned the audience, wanting to see where Lu Siguan was, he would definitely be there on an occasion like today.

Liu Chunyan found that Lu Siguan was not sitting in the middle of the banquet, but standing quietly beside the emperor, who was still nine thousand years old on his side.

She stared at Lu Si for a while, and saw that Lu Siguan never looked at her, and felt a little lost in her heart.

When he turned around, he accidentally saw Qin Muyu's eyes, and when he looked at each other, Liu Chunyan quickly looked away.

Looking at Qin Muyu's eyes looking at her, Liu Chunyan felt uncomfortable, she knew Qin Muyu too well at this time.

Qin Muyu's eyes, one expression, she knew what he was going to do, she ignored Qin Muyu's various secret Qiu Bo eyes, and after saluting, she lowered her head and sat down.

The Khitan prince was regarded as a guest and sat in the second seat, not far from the queen mother, and Du Yuyan's eyes have been staring at Yeluqi since she entered the palace.

Du Yuyan's eyes were more indifferent at this time.

She had seen all the ministers and concubines here, and nine times out of ten they were friends of her father, but at this time, these warblers were singing and dancing here, and her father was waiting in the prison for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

The more jubilant and lively it is, the more hatred Du Yuyan has in her heart, completely ignoring the possible consequences of the failure of the plan, and she must put Liu Chunyan to death.

In Du Yuyan's heart, a large part of what happened to her was related to Liu Chunyan.

She thought in her heart that if it weren't for Liu Chunyan seducing Qin Muyu, if she hadn't provoked it, the relationship between herself and Qin Muyu would not have come here, and her father would naturally still have hope.

Du Yuyan was carried away by hatred, she didn't think about what kind of occasion this was, and what kind of consequences would be if everyone got the stolen goods.

"Today is the day of the queen mother's birthday, when the whole world celebrates, come and raise a glass to the mother." The emperor raised his glass, and everyone raised their glasses, and when the emperor drank all the wine in the cup, everyone also drank the wine in their own cups.

"Zhong Aiqing should drink freely today, and don't be restrained." The emperor laughed and said.

The whole palace outside the hall was immersed in the jubilation of the queen mother's birthday, and the emperor also gave tribute and wine to the guards guarding and patrolling.

At this time, the vigilance in the palace was very lax, only more than ten people were left to guard the main road in and out of the palace, and the rest of the guards built a bonfire in the backyard of the palace, and everyone drank and gambled money around the fire.

"Lord Song asks to see." The eunuch guarding the door shouted.

"Hurry up, please invite Song Aiqing to enter the hall to drink together." The emperor said with a smile.

Song Jingchen walked straight in, holding the small box in his hand, not knowing what it contained.

"Meet the emperor, the queen mother is blessed for a long time, and her life is the same as that of the sky." Song Jingchen knelt down and bowed to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

"Aiqing, please get up quickly, give me a seat."

"Your Majesty, Weichen's envoy this time is fortunate not to be dishonored, there is a letter from Fanbang here, they are willing to give up the three cities they occupied before, and bow down to our Celestial Dynasty Chen Cheng, pay tribute every year." Song Jingchen took out a bamboo slip from the wooden box and handed it to the nine thousand years old.

The nine-thousand-year-old presented the bamboo slips to the emperor, and after the emperor read it, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Song Aiqing really fulfilled his mission, okay, I want to give Song Aiqing a cup." ”

After speaking, a little eunuch handed a glass of wine to Song Jingchen, and after signaling to the emperor, he drank it all.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to offer to the Queen Mother." After speaking, Song Jingchen took out a huge ginseng from the wooden box, this ginseng was more than two feet long, and there seemed to be a fairy aura surrounding it.

"This is a thousand-year-old ginseng, this thousand-year-old ginseng is different from the general thousand-year-old ginseng, this thing only grows in extremely dangerous places, it is said that it will take a hundred years to germinate after sowing, and it will take another hundred years to bloom, if the queen mother takes this ginseng, she will definitely be able to prolong her life." Song Jingchen said loudly.

As soon as Song Jingchen's words landed, the eldest son of the emperor stood up excitedly, "Isn't this the elixir that the imperial grandmother is looking for." ”

The emperor looked at the eldest son of the emperor with a blank expression, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

"Father, the emperor's grandmother has not been able to sleep recently, and she is mentally lacking, and it is said that this thing can cure the emperor's grandmother's insomnia." The eldest son of the emperor looked at the emperor and said.

"Is that true?"

"It's true, Erchen was still a little suspicious before, but now when I see this thing, I can see at a glance that this thing is extraordinary, and it is just around the corner to cure the emperor's grandmother's sleepless disease." The eldest son of the emperor stepped down from his seat as he spoke, walked to Song Jingchen, took the thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Great Prince said is true, this thing is hard to find, and it was also inadvertently found by the minister." Song Jingchen said with a smile.

In fact, this thousand-year-old ginseng was not found by Song Jingchen by chance, and he had been planning to offer this thing on the birthday of the Queen Mother for a long time.

This thousand-year-old ginseng was originally in a mysterious village outside the Saiwai, the people of this village have never been sick since the day they were born, and the people of this village can live to be 100 years old.

As he searched around, he realized that the existence of these scenes in this magical village had a lot to do with the water that the inhabitants of the village drank from.

There is a clear spring water well in this village, the water is warm in winter and cool in summer, sweet and delicious, and more importantly, there is a huge ginseng plant growing next to this well.

The people of the whole village worship this ginseng as a sacred object, and every year they will kill chickens and cattle and sacrifice them to this life.

Song Jingchen had a bad idea after seeing this ginseng, and at this time he heard that his mentor was sent to prison by the emperor in Beijing, and he didn't take this thing to intercede for his mentor, but just coveted the position of prime minister like Lu Guozheng.

Song Jingchen wanted to take the ginseng away, but the people in the village naturally did not agree, so the local people rioted and prevented Song Jingchen and others from entering the village.

In a fit of rage, Song Jingchen led the soldiers and horses at the border pass and slaughtered the entire village, even the baby and the old woman were not spared.

If she knew that this ginseng was covered with so much blood, the Queen Mother would say that she would not want anything, and she would also put Song Jingchen in prison.

But Song Jingchen is cautious, and he is also extra cautious, after killing all the villagers, he burned the corpses on the spot and buried them, and there was no trace of them afterwards.

"Good...... Song Aiqing's return to Beijing this time brought me two good news, and I will be rewarded. The emperor said loudly.

Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Guozheng, who was sitting at the banquet, felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't expect Song Jingchen to return to Beijing.

Lu Guozhenglai has already made a good deal in the four places, and the position of prime minister is already in the bag, and it is within reach, but when Song Jingchen returns to Beijing, everything is different.

"I am very happy today, and it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, I amnesty the world today and accumulate blessings for the Queen Mother." The emperor stood up and said.

Hearing this, some people are happy and some are sad, and the most happy is Du Yuyan, who will be amnesty to the world, and his father will also be spared.

"The emperor is merciful." The ministers said in unison.

Du Yuyan finally showed a slight smile on her face, but the killing intent in her eyes did not decrease at all.

Liu Chunyan saw the things in the hall clearly, and when she saw the thousand-year-old ginseng for the first time, she couldn't believe it.

Slowly, she focused her eyes on Song Jingchen's body, she felt that this person was very familiar, but there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, a very bad feeling, like fear, like hatred.

Song Jingchen's return to Beijing surprised Jiu Qiansui, because Song Jingchen was not in his plan.

There is a lot of estrangement between Song Jingchen and the 9,000-year-old, and he is not in the same stream as the 9,000-year-old.

Although Song Jingchen is extremely vicious and will do whatever it takes for power, he was born as a student and has studied hard for more than ten years to achieve today's achievements, and he has always been concerned about the world and loyal to the Baili clan.

"Song Aiqing, please sit down, three joys are coming today, and I will definitely drink it." The emperor looked at Song Jingchen and said.

The emperor asked the eunuch to put down the eunuch's chair in front of the hall, and Song Jingchen sat in front of the hall, this position can explain his position in the emperor's mind, and everyone was very jealous, especially Lu Guozheng.

After three rounds of drinking, the nine thousand years old let the program that had been prepared for a long time start, and I saw a group of women dressed in Hanfu, dancing in harmony in the center of the hall.

All the ministers in this hall were drooling when they saw it, but Qin Muyu was even worse, and green light began to shine in his eyes.

Looking at everyone's dancing, Liu Chunyan couldn't help but feel itchy, and she actually had a feeling of eagerness, but she would definitely not be so high-profile before this crowd.

After the song, the dancing girls retreated, only to see Du Yuyan get up straight and walk to the center of the hall, "Your Majesty, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the little girl wants to play a song for the Queen Mother." ”

"Okay, there are still people who recommend themselves, since you have this intention, you can start."

Hearing this, Du Yuyan picked up the pipa and talked.

About a quarter of an hour later, Du Yuyan finished playing, and was about to get up to return to the banquet when she suddenly said to the emperor, "Tell Your Majesty, Lu Huaixiang is my cousin, and she also prepared a dance for the Queen Mother today." ”
