Feast Niang......

Xu Jin's face remained unchanged, his fingers turned over a page, but Hongxiu was frightened, her little face was pale, and she hurriedly retreated: "I'll go first, I haven't packed up the gift list to the palace for this year's New Year's Day, the city lord should rest early!" ”

She was weak-hearted.

Xu Jin laughed secretly, withdrew his gaze from the door, and fell on the bowl of chicken soup that had been cold on the table, his eyes contemptuous.

……

Qingcheng came in a night suit, and as soon as he entered the city lord's mansion, he saw Hong Xiu deaf pulling his head from afar, and suddenly his heart was playful, and he went over to scare her.

He quietly fell behind Hongxiu, bent down slightly, and shouted loudly in her ear: "What are you wandering around here at night, pretending to be a ghost?" ”

"Scared the hell out of me! Get the hell out of here. ”

Hongxiu screamed in fear, and was relieved to find that the person was Qingcheng, and then stomped his foot and patted his chest, his eyes resentful and longed to kick Qingcheng away.

"Yohe, what did you do wrong today and you were caught by the city lord? Why are you so depressed. ”

It's okay not to ask, but as soon as she asks, Hongxiu becomes depressed.

"You don't know, my mouth actually said the word 'banquet girl' just now, which almost scared my soul."

Qingcheng crossed his arms around his chest, nodded, and said, "You are really bold." The city lord and Mrs. An can't listen to Yan Niang now, you want to say it. ”

"I won't tell you, I'm going to check the bills, it's approaching the end of the year, this girl is in a good mood, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Hongxiu snorted twice and left in style.

The candle flame was shaking, and it was cold in winter, Qingcheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he looked at her distant back.

As soon as Qingcheng entered the study, he leaned over and saluted, and walked a few steps quickly to hand over the secret protection in his arms.

The red paint seal is an urgent secret report from Chang'an.

"The brother of Chang'an said that the city lord should be careful in everything recently, although the king of Qin is now patrolling Shacheng, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not secretly send someone to harm the city lord again."

Xu Jin hummed and opened the letter.

He glanced intently, his eyes cold.

"You have to prepare, this year, I'm afraid we will spend it in Chang'an."

Qingcheng received the order immediately, and turned around and went out without saying a word.

Under the moonlight candlelight, Xu Jin's tough face became more and more mysterious, and he held the letter in his hand with a lot of thoughts.

Kang He, who had been ill for more than ten years, suddenly recovered, and at the Spring Festival family banquet, she would be crowned by the emperor as the eldest princess of the kingdom of Qiu, and the concubine would be selected.

Such an emperor, if she marries, she will marry, it is not a big deal, it is just an extra vase in the backyard.

It's just a means for the emperor to win over.

Jiangcheng is a money bag, the king of Qin wants it, and the emperor naturally wants it, one uses martial arts, the other uses women, the moves are different, but the purpose is the same.

But he suddenly remembered someone.

The man, weak and strong, suddenly came to his side, covered in thorns and secrets. It's pitiful to laugh or get angry.

I wonder where she is now?

……

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was under the end of the year.

The people of Chang'an stored the winter grain, pickled the bacon and hung it in the courtyard, and waited until the arrival of the Spring Festival. The red lanterns on Suzaku Street have been hung, and long red lanterns have fallen from tall buildings, illuminating the way home in the wind and snow.

The deep winter is cold, and the winter in Guzhou is snowy.

Now. It had been snowing heavily for three days outside, and Shen Yan couldn't go out, so he could only obediently nest in the Qingsi Hall and hug Tang Pozi to enjoy the snow.

The goose feathers and heavy snow covered most of the road, and when I looked out from the window lattice, I only felt that the sky and the earth were white, and I was so clean that I was afraid.

It's silent and cold, and if you put your face close to the window lattice, you can feel a small cold current passing through.

The New Year is approaching, Wang Huanzhi came back from the patrol of Shacheng, and the emperor did not hesitate to praise the emperor at the great court meeting, and the momentum of the king of Qin was raised again.

Shen Yan looked at the snow outside, listening to Xiao Xing talking in his ear about the Great Dynasty Meeting and the grand scene when King Qin returned, and only felt that the years were quiet.

But she decided to leave anyway.

Shen Yan has recently withdrawn his role from Kang and Emperor Ji, trying to look at the court situation as an ordinary person.

Although the ancient Zhou Dynasty was divided, only the power of the King of Qin was too great, and the military power was too high, and the emperor was unable to take it back, so he could only watch him grow stronger day by day. The moon is full of waxing and waning, the water is full and overflowing, and the height of the climb falls hard.

Shen Yan came here unexpectedly, and there were only a few things he could see from books.

The world she saw with her eyes was peaceful, and the clash of power and war were only between the superiors.

Wang Huanzhi's power is too great, and he has no way to get out of this situation.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

The emperor seems to be forcing him to be a rebel and thief.

"When His Highness came back, Suzaku Street was full of people, and everyone wanted to see what His Royal Highness King Qin, who could make Bailu Xiangrui manifest, look like now."

Xiaoxing said with a smile, his eyes were bright, and he was jubilant with scissors in his hand.

"When will His Highness enter the palace? I want to see him. ”

Shen Yan raised her cheeks and said seriously, she had a lot to say, and the most important thing was that she needed Wang Huanzhi to help her leave Daming Palace.

Her hair has now been cut off the last curls, her long black and shiny hair is combed into a bun, decorated with gold, silver and jade ornaments, and her slender neck is an elegant back curve, and the tassels hang down around the bun, which makes her particularly gentle.

"Today's patrol back to the city, Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace in the evening, if the emperor wants to see His Royal Highness, you can do it after the banquet."

Shen Yan nodded, turned around and held Xiao Xing's hand, and said with a smile: "Tell Your Highness that I will wait for him in the attic of the Taiye Pool tonight." ”

"Hmm. I haven't seen His Royal Highness for a long time, the emperor has to dress up beautifully, some time ago Xu Zhaoyi sent a lot of beautiful heads over, Xiaoxing will go and get it. ”

Xiaoxing put down the scissors in his hand and turned around to go out with a smile.

Shen Yan's eyes fell on the scissors and the red window flowers, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival had become thick, and there was not much time left for her.

The New Year is approaching, and the sealing ceremony and selection are imminent, and she can't continue to stay in Daming Palace.

In the evening, the night banquet of Daming Palace invited hundreds of officials, and the delicacies of flowing water came in, and it was not lively to push the cup and change the lamp.

The emperor was sick and weak, and after saying a few words, he returned to the Zichen Palace. As soon as he left, Wang Huanzhi suddenly became the focus of the audience, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

King Qin is the person who is protected by Bailu Xiangrui.

Lingquan came in from outside the hall, leaned over and said something in Wang Huanzhi's ear, his eyes sank, and he drank all the wine in the cup, his expression was unknown.

The music of silk and bamboo resounded throughout the palace, the dancing girl was graceful, and the charm was full between a few turns, and everyone drank and enjoyed the fun, and said some flattering words to each other, and enjoyed it very much.

"This king is a little unwell, everyone continue."

Suddenly, King Qin got up and saluted everyone in the hall with a cup, raised his neck and drank it all, then turned around and left, leaving a group of people looking at each other.

After more than ten years in the dynasty, this is the first time that King Qin has left in the middle of a banquet, but something big happened?
