Chapter 35

At the annual banquet, Xuanyuan Yi went out to sober up, never returned, the festival banquet was only halfway through, everyone sent people to find, but not for half a day, the past good concubine was anxious, asked the people around the emperor, only to learn the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Yi from Zhiwu's words, the banquet was unhappily dispersed, and the concubines returned to the palaces with full of loss.

On the first day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, the ministers rushed to the Emperor's Palace to congratulate the emperor on the New Year, but they all waited for half an hour but did not see any movement.

It stands to reason that the emperor's ministers will end after the New Year's banquet, and state affairs can be discussed on the first day of the new year, but no one wants to go up to touch Xuanyuanyi's moldy head on the first day of the new year, so for everything last night, the ministers tacitly did not mention it.

Qin Duo began to resign after worshipping the year, and at the end of the sentence, he didn't forget to ask the daughter to stay, if you want to say yesterday's comparison, anyone with a discerning eye can see the high and low, but who is Qin Duo, that is the first-class celebrity in front of Nangong Rui, naturally understands when he can stretch and when he can bend, although Xuanyuan Yi clearly did not put the divorce in his eyes, but staying in Xuandu, it is good for anyone to be pointed out by Emperor Xuan, and he can always leave an eyeliner for them.

Qin Duo made it clear what he meant in a few words, who are Xuanyuan Yi and the ministers, the divorce is beautiful, but none of the ministers will lead such a disaster to their own home, Xuanyuan Yi saw that no one expressed his position to ask for a daughter, and finally casually pointed the divorced daughter to the official workshop, and Qin Duo, who had always greeted him with a smile, changed his face.

Although the divorced girl is not as good as Mu Bingyue, but they carefully selected and cultivated, and now they are easily thrown into the song and dance workshop of the official family by Xuanyuan Yi, how can this make him not angry, but he is a person who knows deeply, and the next moment he changed his face back, smiled and said a few words of greeting before leaving.

Mu Bingyue didn't wake up from a hangover, and the palace maid who sprinkled and swept didn't dare to let go, and only cleaned up back and forth lightly.

The clear palace has no last night's noise and liveliness, there is snowy daylight on the ground, and the broken dead leaves are scattered on it, this cold and mottled white, only makes people feel the cold breath of plants and winter.

It wasn't until near noon that Mu Bingyue woke up heavily, she didn't feel good yesterday, she drank a few glasses of vegetarian wine, but she didn't want to get up today, her head hurt like this.

Zizhu on the side had already prepared a sobering soup, Mu Bingyue took it and drank it all, and when she put down the bowl, she noticed that the two looked different, but she said that it was the first time she was drunk, so she didn't think about it, until Xuanyuan Yi came to the Qilin Hall for lunch as usual.

Just looking at Mu Bingyue's expression, Xuanyuan Yi knew that she didn't know anything about yesterday, and he was relieved to think of her drunken dreams, and at this moment, her strange and cold expression had already diluted the warmth of yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Zizhu and the two glanced at each other, lowered their heads and silently set up food.

The meals on the first day of the new year are vegetarian meals, which are the hearts of the ancestors to show mercy for all things, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, people will put on new clothes and go to the door, and this is also the happiest time for the next people, because they will receive a big red envelope from the master, Mu Bingyue has a hangover overnight, and he woke up at noon, and it was already a meal when he woke up, coupled with Mu Bingyue's cold temperament, a room of people did not dare to open their mouths to celebrate the New Year, although Xuanyuan Yi was the first to step into their master's door, but no one was stunned to feel that it was not the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

The two of them were eating separately in a cold place, and the palace people were standing on the side coldly.

It wasn't until the meal was withdrawn that Xuanyuan Yi gave the palace people a red envelope and a silver reward according to the custom, although Xuanyuan Yi just said this casually, but the palace people worked hard for more than a month, for this reward silver, although it was impossible for them to get Mu Bingyue's share, but they were very happy to get a share.

Ye Ling Zizhu and the two also thanked them, although they congratulated Xuanyuan Yi on the New Year early this morning, but Xuanyuan Yi went late early, so how could they take care of them, they would receive a reward, so they all smiled and congratulated once.

There is no laughing here, and only Mu Bingyue is left.

She is used to not smiling and others also know, although it is the New Year, but the palace people did not expect her to have a smile, until Xuanyuan Yi saw it, and his heart was bored.

After the first day of the new year, the solemn festival is the fifteenth, and during this period, the royal family will go to the temple to pray for blessings, praying for the new year of Xuanyuan country, the blessing of the ancestors, and the peace of the country.

All kinds of large and small rituals, banquets are also interspersed, Xuanyuan Yi has less and less time to be empty, he wanted to find something to say, but after the palace maid retreated, the atmosphere in the palace returned to the freezing point again.

His eyes swept silently over Mu Bingyue, the temperature in Xuanyuan Yi's heart gradually cooled, and he left without waiting for the palace people to finish their meal.

The rest of them had long been accustomed to this, and after Xuanyuan Yi left, they were busy with their own work.

And Xuanyuanyi's movements have already been discovered by various palaces and courtyards, and as soon as he came out of the queen mother's palace, the close maids of various families immediately rushed forward.

Xuanyuan Yi has not appeared in the harem since returning to the palace, for these faces, and there is also some fear of Xuanyuan Yi's dismount to the concubines, the concubines did not go to entangle, but this will be very different, the New Year, the family banquet is an excuse.

Xuanyuan Yi was just knocked by the Queen Mother, and the sullenness given by Mu Bingyue has not yet been sprinkled, how can there be a good face for these concubines who are jealous and strife all day long, since leaving the palace gate of the Queen Mother, they went to the Imperial Palace with a cold face and without speaking.

This caused great dissatisfaction among the harem concubines, although they didn't dare to show anything to Xuanyuan Yi, and they didn't dare to make any trouble with Mu Bingyue, but they all unanimously put this fire on the divorced daughter who was left by Qin Duo, and often had palace banquets and family banquets.

It is difficult for anyone who fights with iron to withstand this wheel war, but in three days, the divorced daughter is tired on the couch, in fact, the divorced daughter does not know that these palace concubines are using the topic to play.

The concubines who made it difficult to leave their daughters thought that someone would come out to stop them, but after closing the cold room for a day and a night, there was still no movement, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't see blood in the New Year, they were afraid that they would touch the bad luck, and they were afraid that they would not live until the fifth day of the new year. Although the fifth day of the first month is not as lively as Chinese New Year's Eve and the fifteenth, the family banquet for the relatives and relatives of the sect is still very grand, and the empress dowager is in charge of the phoenix seal, how do she not know the reason why the concubines disposed of the divorce, but they are all inconsequential people, she will turn a blind eye, but for four or five days in a row, Xuanyuan Yi stayed in the side hall of the imperial palace, which made her how to watch leisurely.

On this day, the Queen Mother was going to give her an order after the banquet, but before the palace banquet began, Sima Han brought people out to stir up the situation.

"Your Majesty, when Weichen first accepted the rice grain of Chiyan Shanggong, although he noticed that the new rice grains were very dry this time, but he only thought that it was the reason why the hot climate of Chiyan and the grain were quickly sunried, because of the many affairs of the New Year's Festival, Weichen had not yet been put into storage after counting, and when Weichen wanted to go to the inventory last night, he found that some of the grain had been slightly yellowed, I thought it was Chiyan shoddy, and it was old grain, but after taking a closer look, I found that these rice were fried by people, and Weichen found that many Dan grains had this condition after checking again, Weichen felt that something was strange in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he went to compare the grain handed over by Xijun, but found that Xijun was the same, food is the lifeblood of a country, Weichen didn't dare to be sloppy, and came to report to the emperor. ”

When Sima Han said this, everyone's faces had changed a little, and although the fried grain could be eaten, it could only be kept for three or four months at most. Could it be that Chi Yan was unwilling, so he sent this fried rice, and when he found out that the rice and grain had deteriorated, it had been a few months later, and by that time they had already completely brushed off the responsibility, and they had already accepted the grain, so they could not be held accountable if something went wrong.

The ministers condemned and cursed Chi Yan, and Xuanyuan Yi on the seat did not say a word, but his brows were furrowed.

"Your Majesty, this red flame sent this fried grain, it is obviously disrespectful to our country, even if the grain can be eaten, how can this fried grain be stored for a long time, not to mention that the red flame made this decision, who knows if there is anything other harmful in the rice grain sent." One of the ministers became indignant.

Sima Han lowered his head, "What Lord Lin said is exact. Even in this winter, this fried grain can only be barely stored for five months, although it can be dispatched and separated, but if it is not discovered in time, these must be stored for war and military use, and by then it will be too late. ”

Xuanyuan Yi's face darkened, "It's really verified, it's indeed all fried?" ”

Sima Han lowered his body and replied categorically: "Weichen doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, seventy or eighty percent of the grain that Chiyan and Xijun came in was fried."

It's not that Xuanyuan Yi doesn't trust him Sima Han, but he can't find a reason for Chiyan to do this.

Sima Han raised his gaze, glanced at Xuanyuan Yi, and saw that he was still pondering, knowing that he was thinking about why Chiyan did this, he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen once read a book written by Mu Bingyue when he was a child, which is the story of King Wu who died for Xi ShiWhen Wu had no harvest in autumn, Yue invaded a large number of troops and successfully captured Wu. This book is widely circulated in Chiyan, and it is very possible that someone wants to use this trick to design our country. ”

"Yes! In a few months, it will be time for spring planting, and if it is found that the grain in the treasury is yellow, if the keepers of the treasury do not look closely, they will only think that their subordinates have not stored well, and when the time comes for spring planting, they may be in a hurry to distribute it and send it to be planted in spring, and then they will really fall into the trick of the traitor. The first minister was furious.
