CHAPTER XXII

Su Chun was stunned in place, she was really blind.

Li Bingwen took the opportunity to pinch her face a few more times, with a smile on his face, and quipped

"Wake up, wake up - how can you sleep with your eyes open?"

Su Chun immediately shook his head

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are youβ€”Are you sure this isn't a Hongmen feast? ”

Li Bingwen took the opportunity to drop his hand on her head and touched it, comforting

"Don't worry, it's not. The state banquet has always been a rule, just to invite all the ministers in the court, so that everyone can feel the royal heart and feel at ease to assist him. ”

Su Chun pursed his lips, this sounded normal. And with such a solemn banquet, the Queen Mother will not use it to do something that shakes people's hearts, so Su Chun can be regarded as relieved and should come down.

Li Bingwen took the opportunity to pinch the smiling face again, and left satisfied.

Honeysuckle Bird Mei breathed a sigh of relief, they all looked at Su Chun, and their eyes were full of words, "How did you meet, what did you experience, and how did you have such a good relationship?" ”

Su Chun was naturally not easy to explain, she laughed a few times awkwardly and immediately opened the topic, asking them to help choose a suitable piece of clothing, honeysuckle Qimei didn't hear what she wanted to know, but nodded with interest.

After Su Chun burned incense and bathed, dressed up, the state banquet was about to start, and Li Bingwen also came to the gate of Tongshen Palace. As soon as he came down, he was stunned

At the gate of the palace, Su Chun Huanting stood, she combed the three-ring flying cloud bun, the light-colored small Yingluo flower ornaments were loose and scattered on the hair ring, the white hosta of the flowing clouds closed the moon was curled into the outer hair ring in pairs, and the silver thread at the corner of the wide-sleeved skirt on a white background outlined the stacked cloud pattern, which looked like the clouds and mist gently wrapped her body from a distance, and the breeze outlined a graceful body, soft sideburns, inadvertently brushed the curled long eyelashes, bearing the sunset glow, rippling out a layer of light halo

- Like a goddess.

It seemed that in the next second, she rose into the air and carried the clouds away.

Li Bingwen was a little fascinated, but Su Chun walked over by himself and shook his hand in front of him.

"What's wrong with you? What is so fascinating to see? ”

Su Chun knew that he was stunned, but he still wanted to tease him like this

Li Bingwen was not restrained, but only hummed and said

"Look at you."

This caught Su Chun off guard, her ears were slightly hot, and she opened the topic

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No、Isn't it going to a state dinner? Let's go......"

Li Bingwen nodded and went with her.

Dragon Teng Temple.

The appearance of the palace is huge, piled on the top of more than twenty long steps, the golden tile and Zhu wall, and the rui beast is embellished in all directions. It was originally a place to discuss state affairs, but today it is regarded as a place to entertain courtiers, and it can be seen that the royal family's attention to state banquets is extraordinary.

Su Chun looked at it, still a little nervous, and Li Bingwen on her side suddenly came over and gently grabbed her fingertips.

"Are you panicking?"

He smiled softly, Su Chun couldn't say anything, so he could only nod slightly, and Li Bingwen gave a few small pecks on the side of her face.

"It's okay, and me."

Su Chun's face turned red, she held Li Bingwen's hand and clenched it tightly, she pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.

After that, Li Bingwen personally pushed open the door of the store with one hand, while holding Su Chun tightly with the other.

The moment they stepped into the Dragon Palace, they became the focus of people's attention.

Su Chun swept them one by one, and there were surprise, incomprehension, dissatisfaction, and even jealousy in those eyes.

She took a deep breath and did not avoid all this, but fixed her gaze and looked ahead, where the Queen Mother was sitting on the side of the high position, throwing a kind smile at her.

Li Bingwen brought Su Chun up and placed him on the phoenix seat beside him, and the Queen Mother opened her lips

"The vision of Shangling that the White Thorn Shi just said, the mourning family decided to let the emperor personally go to investigate."

If Su Chun hadn't just sat down, he would have stumbled because of these words.

Send the emperor to Shangling? What an obvious regency! No, this can be directly characterized as a usurpation!

She glanced at Li Bingwen, only to see him nodding indifferently, and Su Chun almost reached out to find out if he had a fever.

An emperor was instructed by the Queen Mother to leave, not only did he not ask her what her intentions were, but he even readily agreed?

Su Chun looked at the courtiers unwillingly, she didn't believe that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had listened to the Queen Mother's dispatch!

Sure enough, after a burst of whispering, an old man stood up

He was about fifty or sixty years old, with a kind face, his crane hair was neatly tied, and his red official uniform was slightly washed but very neat, and he couldn't even find a trace of creases.

He arched his body, saluted, and pulled his sleeves back, obviously the official uniform was already a little small, and the emaciated and white wrist leaked out of the red robe, like a plum branch bone, and like a saint's jade bone in the flesh and blood of a gentleman.

"Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that this move is very inappropriate, it is a good thing for Your Majesty to bow in person, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, not to mention that Your Majesty is still young, his knees are empty, and there is no prince to supervise the country, which is unreasonable and unreasonable, and it should not be etiquette......"

The Queen Mother glanced at Her Majesty indifferently and didn't say anything, but Li Bingwen responded by herself

"Lin Youcheng doesn't have to worry, I know that the temporary accession to the throne will make the throne unstable, so at this time, I should be more obedient to the people's will, share the joys and hardships with it, and lay a good reputation and foundation in the market, so that the people of Daxu can know that their new emperor is not just talking on paper."

Li Bingwen said and smiled at the Queen Mother

"As for state affairs...... The Queen Mother continued to work for her. ”

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head at Lin Youcheng, Lin Youcheng's face was slightly wrinkled, as if he wanted to say something, and suddenly an old man of the same age as him on the other side also stood up, compared with Lin Youcheng, it seemed to be more like a character above 10,000 people under one person, ink sideburns flying frost, a red official uniform fit properly, slowly arching his hand, and his body was scattered with the arrogance of the superior.

"Why is Lin Youcheng so eager? At this time, it should have gathered the hearts of the people, Your Majesty said it well, he should be in the Longteng Hall today to make the people more worried, rather than standing in a real dragon shell, it is better to come from the people, and stabilize the country and society with the hearts of the people. ”

Lin Youcheng frowned, as if he wanted to fight him, and the Queen Mother started talking

"Xu Zuocheng is reasonable, and the mourning family thinks so, presumably there are still many people in the court who think this move is very good?"

As soon as the words fell, many voices of approval followed, Lin Youcheng knew that they wanted to take advantage of the emperor's absence to vacate his position again, at that time, what was the use of the people's hearts? All they appreciate is a puppet being manipulated!

Just as he was preparing to fight the Confucianism, Li Bingwen was relieved, smiled softly at him, and tactfully asked his father-in-law to arrange for him to sit down.

At this point, the tension of the state banquet has subsided. The banquet is still the same, the singing and dancing are leveling, and the water and land are finished.

It's just that Su Chun always felt that under the peace that had just arrived, it was still surging...... Turbulent undercurrents.
