The soft music became louder, Cui Zheng turned around, Li Minglou also stood up, and walked in a team of eunuchs and palace maids first, and spread out in the seats above.

"Xiangye, Mrs. Chu Guo."

The emperor's voice then sounded, and he walked in, this time he was not alone, he was followed by the third prince, the queen, and the queen was holding a little princess of four or five years old.

Cui Zheng and Li Minglou leaned over to salute.

The emperor and the empress sat down, the little princess sat next to the empress, and the third prince sat next to Cui Zheng.

"Please take a seat." The emperor smiled, "Today is not in the court, you and I are not formal between the monarch and the minister. ”

Cui Zheng and Li Minglou took a seat.

"What were Mrs. and Xiangye talking about before?" The third prince asked curiously, "Sounds very lively." ”

Cui Zheng said: "It's nothing, trivial old things." ”

Li Minglou smiled at the third prince and did not speak.

This woman's dress is heavy, but it is difficult to hide her youthful beauty.

The third prince couldn't help blurting out: "Madame is not very old." ”

It's about his age.

Li Minglou said: "Ambition is not old. ”

The emperor laughed: "That's right, the emperor, you have to ask your wife for advice, don't look at her as a daughter, not inferior to a man in the slightest." ”

The third prince got up and saluted Li Minglou: "Please give me more advice." ”

Li Minglou got up and returned the salute, not daring to do it.

The monarch and the ministers were tolerant, and the emperor was happy: "Sit down and talk." ”

"I don't know my wife's surname, where is my hometown? Where are your parents? Cui Zheng asked.

Wu Ya'er is said to be an orphan, and her origin is unknown, and no one knows the origin of this Mrs. Chu State, only heard that it is a rich family, and Liang Zhen is a matchmaker.

"My parents are gone." Li Minglou said, "I was raised by my mother-in-law and moved around, and my mother-in-law never said where I came from." ”

Cui Zheng sighed, not telling the truth, it seems that his background is very unsightly, he is young, rich and powerful...... Bandits somewhere.

Bandits and horse bandits are entrenched on one side, more powerful than the clans, especially in the remote Shuobei desert.

Liang Zhen, the envoy of the festival, also has the best chance to deal with bandits.

"I won't talk about family matters." The emperor said, "Madame will tell me how to kill Ankang Mountain, this is my greatest joy in Great Xia." ”

The third prince was also in high spirits.

Although there are official documents sent with the head of Ankang Mountain, the official documents are not as rich as those who have witnessed them.

Li Minglou said: "Your Majesty, in fact, Ankang Mountain is the hand of death and his son, and when I saw him, he was already dying. ”

How could it be? The people in the hall were surprised, and even the queen, who had been quiet, looked at it.

Even if this was the case, there was no need to say it, and not many people knew about it at the time anyway......

That's not enough of the show.

Li Minglou said: "This is the case, how can you deceive Your Majesty." ”

There are a lot of deceptions, Cui Zheng said in his heart.

The emperor sighed: "Madame is honest. ”

The third prince stroked his palms and smiled: "Take advantage of its internal strife and lose its body, this is the lady's cleverness!" ”

Cui Zheng was thinking about something else, and his eyes were sharp: "An Dezhong and Shi Chao's transit is related to you?" ”

Li Minglou said: "Yes, I deliberately let it go." ”

Cui Zheng took the case: "How can you not report such a big event? ”

The atmosphere was suddenly tense, and the smile of the third prince froze on his face, and he didn't dare to disobey the teacher or speak.

"Xiangye!" Or the emperor got up, "The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside!" Such a big event, one must keep it secret and the other can not miss the opportunity, the fewer people who know, the better, Linzhou is far away, how to report it! ”

Li Minglou also stood up and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Cui Zheng's face was gloomy: "It's good that it's civil strife, otherwise it's ......"

"Xiangye, this is to be sure that they will have civil strife." Li Minglou interrupted him, "So there is no otherwise. ”

This Mrs. Chu is so fierce, not only is she not afraid of Cui Xiangye, but she also quarrels with him, her father and emperor don't dare to quarrel with Xiangye, the third prince is silent on the side, but looks at the woman sitting opposite...... Actually, it's normal for a beautiful woman to have a little temper.

"Xiangye, ma'am." The emperor persuaded him in a good voice, "Today's private banquet, don't talk about state affairs." ”

He glanced at the Queen.

The queen was silent for a moment and said, "The thief is dead, let's sit down and have a relaxing meal." ”

The little princess raised her head and whispered, "Queen Mother, I'm hungry." ”

Because he knew that he came to the feast, the child did not hide it, and his face was full of anticipation, and his saliva was about to flow out.

The emperor was thrifty, and the concubines and children could only be more frugal, and there was no banquet in the memory of the little princess who grew up after the rebellion.

The emperor was a little ashamed and signaled to the queen to be optimistic about the princess.

The queen said: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Mrs. Chu will not worry about children." ”

She looked at Li Minglou, Li Minglou smiled at her, and said, "The courtiers are also hungry." ”

The emperor laughed and motioned for everyone to take their seats again: "Sit down and taste tonight's banquet, which was prepared by the queen herself." ”

Cui Zheng and Li Minglou should say yes in unison, and they each took their seats, and the three princes also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Le was cheerful again, and Hu Ping stood up and shouted "pass the meal" to the outside world.

A sound came out, and a team of eunuchs and palace maids came quickly.

A eunuch walked up to Yuan Ji and asked him to wait in the side hall.

Yuan Ji said: "Madame is not in good health, I carry medicine with me, I dare not stay away, and I hope that my father-in-law will be accommodating." ”

The eunuch was a little embarrassed, looked at the forbidden army under the corridor, the leader of the forbidden army came to ask, smiled when he heard this, and glanced at Yuan Ji: "The entourage of Mrs. Chu must be extraordinary, and she can guard with our forbidden army." ”

Yuanji bowed his head and said he didn't dare.

"It is not appropriate to guard the gate of the temple." The leader of the Forbidden Army pointed to the bottom of the steps, "You stand here." ”

Yuan Ji responded by walking over and standing up, and the leader of the Praetorian Guard looked around and walked away with a relaxed expression.

Yuan Ji raised his eyes and looked around, a team of guards walked by, he and the young general led by each other, the young general smiled and walked over, Yuan Ji lowered his gaze, and his ears were the sound of singing and dancing from the hall.

At the end of the song, the dancers withdrew, and the dishes were set on each table.

"The harem hasn't danced for years." The queen said, "Everyone will only have Linzhou Xiaoqu, and this meal is mostly Linzhou flavor, Madame can taste it." ”

Li Minglou thanked with a smile.

The third prince hurriedly said: "The flavor of Linzhou is delicious. ”

Li Minglou smiled at him and nodded.

Silence is better than ten thousand words, and the three princes smiled.

Cui Zheng said: "Madame, it's not bad to try it, get familiar with it." ”

What does this mean...... Li Minglou glanced at Cui Zheng.

"Ah, wine!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the emperor hurriedly diverted the topic and shouted to the eunuchs, "Bring the wine!" ”

The eunuch's response was to spread the word to the outside world.

The emperor smiled at Li Minglou and said, "It's a wine from Huainan Road, is it right for Madam to taste it?" ”

Li Minglou responded with a smile, and several eunuchs rushed in with small wine jugs and stood behind everyone.

The emperor raised his hand and gestured: "Pour wine." ”

The eunuchs stepped forward to pour wine.

Li Minglou glanced at the wine he had poured himself, and said with a smile: "It smells like Huainan Dao." ”

The emperor laughed and turned his head to look at the queen: "You can also taste a cup, don't drink too much, take medicine." ”

He pinched the little princess's face again.

"Father has prepared a red fruit puree for you."

The queen replied and watched the eunuch pour them for each.

The emperor looked at a few people in the room.

"Gathering together today is the joy of Great Summer!" He said, "With the Wudu Governor and his wife, the prosperous era of Great Xia can reappear." ”

He took the wine and drank it down.

"I'll drink this cup first."

The three princes followed, Cui Zheng also picked up the wine, and the two drank separately.

The queen first served the dishes for the little princess, and then went to serve the wine......

Li Minglou was about to stretch out his hand, but suddenly stood up from behind him, leaned over and pinched the wine glass first, and raised it to his lips......

Li Minglou held his hand.

"How?" She asked.

This sudden scene made everyone in the hall startled and looked over, this is ...... There are eunuchs robbing wine?

"What's going on!" The Emperor shouted.

The eunuch beside him changed his face greatly, and he also screamed: "Bold! What are you doing! ”

Li Minglou looked at it, and then looked at the wine glass he was holding, and understood: "It's because the wine is poisonous." ”

Alcohol is poisonous? What do you mean?

Cui Zheng frowned and shouted: "Wu Clan, what nonsense are you talking about, you ......"

Before he finished his words, his mouth and nose hurt sharply, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe it, and then look at the palm of his hand......

"Why is it bleeding?"

He raised his head, and under the light of the lamp, blood burst out from his mouth, nose, and eyes.
