Concubine Ning smiled softly and glanced at Lin Yunxin.

Lin Yunxin also smiled and nodded politely at her, and glanced at the red box on the tray on the left.

Concubine Ning's eyes moved, Lin Yunxin was suggesting that she should choose the red box on the left? She thought that Lin Yunxin's most prestigious thing was her ability to pinch and calculate, and it was rumored that she had broken Huaizhou's design many times with this......

So should she choose the red box on the left?

Concubine Ning hooked her lips and smiled, but the depths of her eyes were slightly cold, Lin Yunxin would really be so kind? Or is it just a trap......

But whether it is or not, she Ning Tingwei is by no means a person who is at the mercy of others.

"Then the palace comes first, so choose the red box on the right first." Concubine Ning smiled softly.

Because Concubine Ning made a choice, the palace maid naturally opened the red box on the right for her first, but unfortunately, the box was empty, and Concubine Ning chose the wrong one.

Knowing this, the officials and wives present had different expressions.

Who would have thought that "Fuxing" would fall on the head of Lin Yunxin, the lord of Qiandan County? This is the Queen Mother's birthday, this Lin Yunxin is too lucky, right?

Concubine Ning's eyes were even more cold, but she laughed: "The county lord of Qiandan is really well versed in people's hearts. ”

Lin Yunxin said: "Concubine Ning praised it falsely. "It turns out that this person is not the kind of person who will do what others want and think.

"Hmm...... It seems that there are already people in the blessed star of mourning. The Queen Mother smiled at the top, and seemed quite satisfied with the result.

After the palace maid beside Lin Yunxin opened another red box, it was actually a lifelike jade sculpture Fuwa holding a gold bead, looking quite jubilant.

"Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." Lin Yunxin said.

The Queen Mother laughed: "Speaking of which, isn't there a Fuwa to be born from the county lord of Qiandan?" It's the right time, it's the right time. ”

The words made everyone in the palace laugh, which made Lin Yunxin a little embarrassed: "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager Chrysostom." ”

After Lin Yunxin received the reward, it was Yuan Huanlang and Qin Yanqi who took the stage again.

According to the "convention", the two also came to compete.

Qin Yanqi didn't know how to collect money to read the account books, so it was natural to propose a competition, after all, although Yuan Huanlang was not a military general, he was a famous general after all.

Yuan Huanlang did not refuse this not very "fair" competition, and he was indeed worthy of the title of famous general, although he was not a general, he fought more than 100 rounds with Qin Yanqi, and forced Qin Yanqi to use up all his tricks to win a game.

The layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, but Xu Chunzhi found that a few of the tricks used by Qin Yan in the back are not like local martial arts, but like the tricks of the Western Regions.

When did this kid learn the number of roads in the Western Regions?

After deciding the winner, Yuan Huanlang stepped down happily, and Qin Yanqi got the big seal made of pure gold by the queen mother's order, and wrote on it - the royal Luxing.

This big seal is nondescript, but it makes people feel ridiculous.

Qin Yanqi accepted the reward with a very proud attitude.

followed by the competition between Mu Chengxin and Yuan Huanchen.

Yuan Huanchen is a military general, but Mu Chengxin is a little marquis who has not received any real position, and he is the only son of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and he is famous in the imperial capital for not having a good body.

In this regard, Yuan Huanchen was a little tricky, and he didn't want Mu Chengxin to take the lead in speaking: "I have heard for a long time that General Yuan is not only good at martial arts, but also has more potential to use tactics than his father. ”

"It's better to ...... The general deigned to have a military chess show with Ben Hou? Mu Chengxin smiled weakly but politely, which won favor.

Military chess formation is a very popular sand table chess method between the military generals and soldiers of Daqing State, there is a fixed number of soldiers and the type of formation, according to the different methods of individual arranging troops, the competition.

In general, the more people who understand tactics and battlefields more well, the more skillful they are at military chess formations.

Mu Xiaohou Ye proposed to compare this with Yuan Huanchen, and everyone couldn't help but have a little bit of a good show, after all, although Yuan Huanchen is not very old, he is already a well-known general, but Mu Xiaohou Ye is Lian. People who have never been on the battlefield......

"Who do you think will win?" Lin Yunxin asked Xu Chunzhi beside him.

Hearing her ask, Xu Chunzhi paused slightly: "What, do you think that Mu Xiaohou has a chance?" ”

"I don't know if I really go to the battlefield, but it's just a military chess formation......" Lin Yunxin hooked the corners of her lips, "You can see it." At least as far as she knows, Mu Xiaohou often plays chess with herself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a military chess idiot.

But anyone who can become an "idiot" is because of his excellence in this area. If Yuan Huanchen underestimates him too much, I'm afraid he will lose ugly.

Sure enough, Mu Xiaohou's style is the same as his person, at first he gave people a sense of weakness, but in the process of getting along, he gradually felt his flexibility and perseverance, and finally was surrounded by a dense net.

Yuan Huanchen originally had a good momentum, but suddenly he found that he was defeated like a mountain, and he lost in a daze, and he didn't react to it.

Subconsciously, he spoke: "Two wins in three games." "No one else present was even consulted.

Mu Xiaohou quickly responded: "Okay, let's just win five out of nine games." ”

"......" Yuan Huanchen waited for the battle this time, but no matter how serious and meticulous his layout was, he always lost in various ways in the end.

No one could have imagined that Mu Chengxin would win five games in a row in one go.

The palace was completely quiet at some point, cold sweat slipped down Yuan Huanchen's forehead, and just when Mu Xiaohou asked to come again, he stood up: "I'm not coming." The little marquis is superb in chess, and Huan Chen is inferior. ”

A whistle suddenly sounded in the banquet, and the person who whistled was Yuan Huanlang. He was laughing out with a mouthful of big white teeth, and he seemed very happy to see his second brother deflated.

On his side, Yuan Huanshen glanced at him reproachfully, but he also had to admit how difficult it was to let a proud person like Yuan Huanchen bow down in the military chess performance.

The result was unexpected.

"Good! Okay, haha...... "The Queen Mother was immediately overjoyed." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also smiled, even the emperor was very surprised, his nephew has always been in poor health, and he doesn't want to have the talent of a military advisor?

"Come, present the birthday gift." The Queen Mother smiled.

"Thank you, Grandmother, for the reward." Mu Chengxin saluted.

"Fu, Lu, and Shou stepped forward to listen to the seal!" The Emperor spoke suddenly.

Lin Yunxin, Qin Yanqi, and Mu Chengxin shouted together Long live our emperor.

"Fang is the queen mother's reward, and now it is my reward, each of you can make a request to me. Tell me, what do you want? The Emperor laughed.

Lin Yunxin, as the "lucky star" headed, naturally received the most attention.

"Your Majesty, is it okay to ask for anything?" Lin Yunxin asked.

The emperor kept smiling, but the smile in his eyes faded: "Of course, it doesn't violate the etiquette." "So if you intercede for Zhao Xiaofeng or something, you can be exempted.

Lin Yunxin really didn't think about pleading, she smiled and said: "The concubine is a mother for the first time, and what she wants most after thinking about it is that the emperor can bless this child, and ask the emperor to give the child a name after he is born." ”

"Name-giving? That's right. The smile on the emperor's face deepened suddenly, this was just a matter of effort, and it was really unexpected for the Lin family to ask for such a simple matter.

Far away from the stage, Lin Suhui followed Zhou Junyan, the husband of Tanhua Lang, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice when she heard the words: "Oh, how can it be a name, why do you want these useless?" ”

"Shhhh You speak carefully. Zhou Junyan reprimanded. On the contrary, he felt that Lin Yunxin's "show of weakness" was very good, no matter how powerful she was, she was just a woman, a mother of a child, she had no desires, and the only thing she wanted was that the child was safe and auspicious.

In today's treacherous situation, it is not a wise move to take a step back instead of striving for the top.

There are still many people who have the same idea as Lin Suhui and think that Lin Yunxin is stupid, but Old Man Lin nodded slightly, his granddaughter is still measured, if she really wants to be practical, she will fall to the bottom.

"What about you?" The emperor looked at Qin Yanqi with a smile, and he retained his full appreciation for this right-hand man he had recently promoted.

"Your Majesty, Weichen ......" Qin Yanqi hesitated slightly, and finally his heart was crossed, "I implore the emperor to allow Weichen to expand Long Mingwei and better serve the emperor." ”

Since taking over Long Mingwei, although Qin Yanqi is proud, he also feels a lot of constraints, after all, Long Mingwei is Xu Chunzhi's former subordinates, and he is the person brought up by Xu Chunzhi, even if there is a little discord among them, but the vast majority of Long Mingwei have extraordinary loyalty to Xu Chunzhi, and this loyalty has not changed with the change of the leader on the surface.

Now, the reason why Long Mingwei obeyed him was because they were ordered by Xu Chun to obey him, and Qin Yanqi even felt that one day Xu Chunzhi was interested in ordering Long Mingwei to assassinate him, and Long Mingwei would execute it nine times out of ten.

This feeling of being controlled by others was too bad, and he urgently needed to change or even replace the current Long Mingwei, but Long Mingwei itself only had three thousand staff. Each of them is the elite of the elite, and in the absence of war in the imperial capital, it is almost impossible to easily move the dragon Mingwei.

It is rare for the emperor to propose a reward, and this request is not too much......

For the emperor, this request is indeed not too excessive, and the situation that Qin Yanqi will face when he takes over Long Mingwei is also expected by him, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor thinks that his order is very correct.

Long Mingwei's master can only be the emperor, not Xu Chunzhi. In the past, when he and Xu Chunzhi "shared" Long Mingwei, they shared almost all the news.

But after the emperor became the emperor and entered the imperial capital, this kind of "sharing" was like being "coveted". How powerful Long Mingwei was, the emperor naturally knew in his heart, so he must not let them have a second master.

However, he was probably still a little disappointed in Qin Yanqi, but he didn't expect Qin Yanqi to really take this path: "Okay, I'm right." ”

Qin Yanqi was shocked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"What about Chengxin?" The Emperor asked.

"Let's accept what we should ask for, it should be a beautiful wife like a flower, right?" The Queen Mother joked.

Mu Chengxin blushed instantly, his eyes subconsciously flickered towards Lin Yunxin next to him, and he stammered a little: "This...... Grandmother ...... Or don't make fun of it...... Grandson, ......"

Mu Chengxin's embarrassed appearance made everyone present laugh.

"Life in the world, the word happy, Xiao Chengxin must understand, this is the secret of longevity. If you want to fight for it, the imperial grandmother will definitely support it. The Queen Mother said.

"Yes, my grandson will follow the teachings of the imperial grandmother."

"Alright, let's all go down." The Queen Mother waved her hand.

Lin Yunxin and the others retreated in turn.

However, at this moment, a palace maid suddenly stumbled and knocked Lin Yunxin, who was walking steadily, and Lin Yunxin was caught off guard and immediately fell to the side.

Wan Xin!

Xu Chunzhi immediately stood up, but he was far away, and it was too late for a while.

Oops!

Is there really someone who is making trouble in public?
