Winter feast, a glass of green wine and a song.

Zhao Sizhuo is not wearing a dragon robe today, he is wearing a red robe, with dark cloud sleeves, wearing a Qinxiang silk button shirt, a very well-cut Shi Qing straight gauze gold gown, a Chaoxiang Taiming royal ribbon around his waist, a straight nose and thin lips, and under his good-looking eyebrows and eyes is a pair of bright pupils, bottomless, with a well-defined jaw angle, with a cold atmosphere. He saw that Ye Zhiqiu was only immersed in the food on his desk, and he was not at all interested in the singing and dancing in the hall and talking with the monarchs and ministers. I don't think it's funny: how can the palace be like a restaurant for her?

It happened that after the dance, the leading dancer blessed the emperor and bowed down.

Lin Xuanyi, who was on the side, saw that he seemed to be in a good mood today, so he was mistaken, and asked, "Does the emperor think this dancing girl is good?" ”

"Hmm......." Zhao Sizhuo couldn't explain, so he had to respond.

The chief of the generals, because the general of the protector is far away from the border, so Lin Guangyao sits first on the right. opened his mouth and said: "If Your Majesty likes it, you will be included in the harem and be crowned a 'beauty'." ”

"General Lin's words are wrong. Your Majesty has not yet established a concubine, how can you first accept a dancing girl into the palace? In case the dancing queen is blessed and has a dragon heir first, wouldn't it be for His Majesty's eldest son to come out of a dancing queen? ”

"What Li Shangshu said is that it is a matter of royal blood, but you must be cautious. Since ancient times, the 'dispute between the elders' has been endless, and many families have been fighting endlessly and causing trouble. Not to mention the royal blood of a country. As courtiers, we should avoid risks for the king, how can we speak to Your Majesty........."

"Hanlin Shenyan~! The old man just wants to see His Majesty's appreciation of this dancing girl, why can't he be crowned a beauty to make Longyan happy? Could it be that if you become a little dancing girl, what big waves can you rise? ”

"How can General Lin look down on women? Since ancient times, it is not without lessons from the past. Besides, since ancient times, 'mothers are more precious than children', and if a dancing girl is blessed, it is possible to become the next son of heaven if she gives birth to a prince. ”

"Hmph, what does Li Shangshu mean by this? Doesn't it reflect that today's monarch is not born from the belly of the former queen, but is only born to a concubine? ”

"Wechen don't dare! Please let the emperor and the queen mother know clearly. General Lin, you ...... How can you slander Weichen like this......"

"General Lin is too worried, what Li Shangshu said is really reasonable. The emperor has just taken over the government now, and he has not yet appointed a concubine. If she accepts the dancing girl into the palace first, won't she have more seniority in the palace in front of the future queen and princess. Li Shangshu's scruples were not unreasonable, and General Lin didn't want to scare him. ”

"Thank you Taifu for speaking up~! That's it. However, Your Majesty is now over sixteen years old, and it is time to prepare for the selection of a concubine. ”

Lin Xuanyi took a sip of tea, rubbed the teacup in his hand with her slender green fingers, and smiled very casually: "Li Shangshu don't be nervous, the general is just making fun of you." You are faithful to your Majesty's sake, and your Majesty will not misinterpret your meaning. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother~!"

"Okay, okay~ It's just to reward the ministers for their hard work, so take it easy. Today is the palace banquet, everyone here is an important minister of the country, and the sons of the Qing family are also fortunate to be classmates with the emperor for a few years, and they will assist the emperor in the future, and they will rely on these new stars. You old men, don't frighten the children behind you and make them think that this palace is a terrible place. In case they are afraid of the emperor, how can they assist the emperor well and wait for him. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that the minister has just lost his temper. Please also ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to forgive your sins~"

"I just said that I don't have to be too restrained, and I will invite some Rausch again. Li Shangshu swept everyone's interest, but he had to punish himself with three cups. ”

"Xie Niangniang's reward and punishment!"

"Weichen has something unclear, and I hope that Niangniang will solve my doubts." Ye Zhiqiu had no intention of going to politics, so he didn't listen carefully to what they were talking about. She was stunned when she heard her father's voice ring. Finally, he stopped the silver chopsticks in his hand and listened carefully to what his father was going to ask.

"The emperor is in the palace and is personally taught by the Taifu and the Hanlin Bachelor. Weichen and others learned from Taimiao, how can they be worthy of the name of 'classmate' with the emperor. Thanks to the love of the Queen Mother, the dog is not talented, and it may be difficult to assist the emperor in the important task. ”

"Ye Shangshu is too humble. The emperor praised Ye Gongzi for having his grandfather's demeanor. Presumably, in the future, he will also follow the general of the protector of the country, majestic and majestic, make meritorious contributions, and defend the territory of our country. ”

"Oh? The emperor actually knows the son of Ye Shangshu? Lin Guangyao's tone shifted and meant something.

Ye An's face was ugly, and the meaning of this was clearly to say: Ye An intended to let his son come into contact with flattery Junshang.

Lin Xuanyi smiled, "The general misunderstood the meaning of the mourning family, why don't you all the sons and ladies here, look up and understand why the mourning family said that." ”

"Ah.......... Lin Gong ........" someone exclaimed.

"Bold, in front of the Son of Heaven, how can you exclaim!"

"The grass people should die, it disturbed the Queen Mother and Her Majesty......."

"I don't blame you. This is too shocking, excuse me........."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't look up at first, but when he heard the exclamation, "Lin Gong? Subconsciously looked up at the high position. When she saw her familiar beautiful face, the silver chopsticks in her hand fell on the silver plate, making a crisp and loud "click" twice. The eyes of the entire hall were attracted.

Ye Zhiqiu was so annoyed that he wanted to step forward to ask for guilt. Ye Ruochen, who was beside him, moved a step faster, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said in his mouth: "The grass people lost their temper for a while, disturbing Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. I also hope that His Majesty and Niangniang will forgive. ”

Because she and Ye Ruochen were eating at the same table, others only paid attention when they heard the sound, and they really couldn't tell which of the two of them dropped the silver chopsticks. But others can't see it, but Lin Xuanyi and Zhao Sizhuo, who are sitting in high positions, can see it clearly, and they can see every move of everyone below.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Lin Xuanyi's eyes, "It's worthy of being Ye Shangshu's only son, not bad." ”

"Xie Niangniang's praise, grass people are like dust, meet the emperor, the queen mother~"

"I heard that you and your sister are twins, the same year as Your Majesty. Folk often say: twins look exactly the same, as if carved out of a mold; But there are also some that are not similar. Come..... Let the mourning family see what kind of you and your sister are? ”

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he had no choice but to step forward.

"People's daughter Ye Zhiqiu, see the emperor, the queen mother~"

"I have long heard that Ye Shangshu is thrifty. When I saw it today, Yefu was indeed simple. ”

There were a few low laughs, it was those daughters who joked that Ye Zhiqiu went to the palace banquet, dressed a little shabby, and did not have decent luxury jewelry on his body.

"Don't be restrained, keep your head up...... Let the mourning family see how similar this rare 'dragon and phoenix fetus' looks. ”

Ye Zhiqiu sighed in his heart, buried himself in hardship, and kept a low profile for a night. But people are not as good as heaven, and they still attracted the attention of the Queen Mother. She raised her head, her gaze neither humble nor arrogant, and she looked ahead calmly.

I saw Lin Xuanyi, who was smiling, when he saw Ye Zhiqiu's face. His face changed suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and with a "snap", it shattered to the ground.

Zhao Sizhuo, who was on the side of the "Queen Mother........, saw that she reacted so strangely, and called out uneasily.

"The Queen Mother's teacup accidentally fell, and it was shattered safely......... Don't hurry up and put on a new tea set. Taifu opened his mouth to remind the eunuch beside him to take charge.

Everyone in the palace saw that the queen mother reacted strangely, and the courtiers were all curious about whether this daughter of Ye Shangshu looked too ugly? actually scared the Queen Mother.........

Looking at Ye Zhiqiu's gaze, it quickly turned from curiosity to amazement.

sighed in my heart: Although she is not as beautiful as the Queen Mother's "first beauty", she is already a rare, beautiful and vulgar woman in the world.
