Seeing that the palace banquet was about to start, there was a sudden commotion, and then the news spread, saying that it was found that the palace concubine had an affair with a foreign man, and everyone was dumbfounded for a while.

Cheng Ningning and Xu Wanying glanced at each other and didn't speak, they still remembered that before they entered the palace, their husband Jun Qian told him not to leave the crowd, no matter what happened, no matter who summoned him, even if he disobeyed, they would bear it.

Something happened, but it didn't affect the palace people to come over and call for a banquet, and everyone had to follow the palace people to the banquet hall one after another.

Gu Qin and Huo Hanyi's table is still next door, compared to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huo Hanyi has one more Xu Wanying on his side.

"When I just came over, it was rumored in the crowd that the palace concubine had an affair with a foreign man." As soon as he sat down, Cheng Ningning pulled Gu Qin to whisper.

Over there, Xu Wanying also pulled Huo Hanyi and whispered.

"Don't worry about it, it's good to eat it later."

Huo Hanyi also gave Xu Wanying the same answer.

The two women were very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

"The emperor has arrived." It didn't take long for everyone to sit down before the sound of the emperor coming came to sing.

All the people stood up and saluted.

The emperor didn't see the slightest anger on his face, as if nothing had happened, but the movement just now was so big, how could nothing happen.

"Flat, feast." The emperor didn't say anything, not even the opening remarks of the banquet, and sat down and started the banquet.

It was impossible for the officials to touch the mold, so they sat down and waited for the feast to begin.

Most of the courtiers should still eat and drink, and a small number of courtiers frowned, and only one person was covered in cold sweat like sitting on pins and needles, that is, Wang Quan, the squire of the Ministry of Works.

He also heard what happened, but he didn't see it, and his son Wang Qiang was not here, but the banquet had already been held, and His Majesty was here, where could he go to find someone.

The expressions of the hundred officials were different, but everyone couldn't help but guess in their hearts when what happened tonight would be resolved.

Just when everyone was halfway through the banquet with different thoughts, the emperor spoke again.

"The banquet is the same every year, I am really a little boring, my Zhaoyi is very sincere, this year I have added some different programs, I think it is really different."

When the emperor said this, his expression did not change, as if he was still very happy, but there was a piercing coldness and volcanic eruption anger in his eyes.

After watching the song and dance for half an hour, eating the delicious food for half an hour, everyone was almost relaxed, and now the emperor suddenly mentioned such a stubble, and suddenly everyone's hearts were raised.

"Changde, bring people up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Changde immediately received the order.

After a while, a disheveled and unkempt woman was dragged up, her face pale and dead.

There was also a man, also disheveled and disheveled, trembling and full of fear.

The two were slammed into the middle of the earth.

As soon as Wang Quan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, saw the man who was dragged up, the heart that he had been carrying fell directly into the bottom, and there was only a trace of cold sweat on his head, but now it was rolling straight down his forehead like a bean.

Then he rushed out of the crowd and rushed to the center of the hall and knelt in front of the emperor, "The minister should die, the minister failed to teach his son well, the minister ......"

What is the minister, Wang Quan doesn't know what to say, fornicating with the palace concubine, this is completely a capital crime.

"Wang Aiqing is in a hurry, I haven't asked anything."

Liu Zhaoyi, whose face was like ashes, woke up all of a sudden, and hurriedly crawled towards the emperor above, "Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged, Your Majesty, the concubine was framed, the concubine did not have fornication, it was Lu Zhaoyi, Lu Zhaoyi drugged the concubine, Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged......"

Liu Zhaoyi crawled and wanted to pull the corner of Ji Chengye's dragon robe, but was stopped by Changde when there were still three steps away, no matter what, this Liu Zhaoyi was already dirty and could not touch the emperor.

Liu Zhaoyi was desperate because she couldn't see Ji Chengye, and she had nowhere to shout if she was wronged, but now that she saw it, she had to desperately grasp the life-saving straw, even if she couldn't live, she had to pull a cushion.

"Concubine De, this Liu Zhaoyi belongs to your side, what do you say?"

At the banquet, as candidates for the queen, Concubine Li Jingxue and Concubine Du Ruoyu all came.

"The concubine's control is unfavorable, please punish Your Majesty." Li Jingxue didn't quibble, and immediately got up and knelt in front of Ji Chengye to plead guilty.

"Liu Zhaoyi, you said that Lu Zhaoyi framed you, do you have any evidence?" Ji Chengye didn't say anything, and asked Liu Zhaoyi again.

"The concubine has been fine at night, and she drank a cup of tea from Lu Zhaoyi before the incident."

"Do you think this can be proof?"

Liu Zhaoyi couldn't go on, her face was full of panic, and finally crawled towards Concubine De, grabbing Concubine De's clothes, "Niangniang, you save the concubine, the concubine really has no fornication, the concubine is wronged, and the concubine is ......"

"Liu Zhaoyi, it's a fact that you lost yourself to a foreign man, even if you were wronged, what do you think you can change?" Li Jingxue pierced Liu Zhaoyi's last glimmer of hope, and the whole person instantly became ashes.

"Concubine De, there is such a big thing under your jurisdiction, I stripped you of your qualifications to compete for the queen, and let you introspect for three months, do you have any objections?"

"The concubine does not dare to object, it is the dereliction of duty of the concubine, and the concubine will be punished."

"You Aiqing also know that Concubine De and Concubine Yu are competing for the queen, and now Concubine De has let go of the big mistake of disciplining the queen, so the position of the queen will be held by Concubine Yu, do you have any objections?"

The courtiers looked at each other, the faces of those who supported Concubine De were a little ugly, and those who supported Concubine Yu were a little incredulous, so they came to the result?

"There is no objection to the minister." The first to stand up was Li Gelao, Concubine De's father.

As soon as Li Ge stood up, those who supported Concubine De stood up one after another, and they had to lose with grace.

"There is no objection to the minister."

"There is no objection to the minister."

One after another, hundreds of officials got up one after another to second the proposal.

"In this case, I will make Concubine Yu the queen, and choose an auspicious day after the year to carry out the post-sealing ceremony."

Du Ruoyu was slightly stunned, and then got up and knelt down to thank him without being shocked, "Concubine Thank Your Majesty for your love." ”

All the officials knelt down and worshipped, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

When the family members saw their officials kneeling, they knelt down one after another, and the banquet hall knelt on the ground, with great momentum.

"In order to save the treasury expenses, the crown prince ceremony is also together."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, all the officials were stunned, and before they could return to their senses, the emperor's words came one after another, "Ji Zhe, the third prince of the third prince, has excelled in all aspects, won my heart, and became the crown prince." ”

Du Ruoyu's face suddenly became ugly, the third prince was made the prince, what is she, the queen, let alone Du Zhen, and the courtiers were half stunned.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Elder Li Ge took the lead in worshipping.
