All the ministers congratulated Su Qing lively, but only one person stood alone under the verandah of the hall, looking at the dark clouds and not knowing what to think.

That person was Ji Yushen.

At the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, he did not bring Li Ziyue with him, but entered the palace alone.

All the ministers brought their families with them, but he was lonely and looked out of place. Originally, it was strange for others to see it, but after thinking about it, Ji Shoufu's wife was the daughter of a criminal minister, and the emperor was gracious and did not pursue it, but it was really not good to openly bring it into the palace.

No wonder he came alone.

Ji Yushen is the first assistant of the current dynasty, and his position is naturally ranked the highest among the courtiers.

But he couldn't rejoice.

Today's Shoufu and Li Gelao's Shoufu back then, the power position is completely different.

Li Ge Lao has real power in his hands, and there are countless high-powered followers under him, but what about him?

Now that the Li Party has collapsed, there are indeed many old ministers under him who used to follow Li Gelao, but their strength has been greatly reduced.

The emperor reused Su Qing and other courtiers to weaken his arrogance as the first assistant, and Ji Yushen could only be beaten passively.

He was both happy and glad that he did not live as the second Li Ge Lao, and that he did not become a corrupt official and traitor who formed a party and engaged in personal gain, which he despised the most in the past.

But he was also afraid.

He was afraid that once the power in his hands was stripped away, and once the rumors of Li Gelao's matter completely passed, the emperor would attack him......

He has avenged the annihilation, and he has no regrets in this life.

But if he could, he still wanted to live.

For the first half of his life, he lived for revenge, and now he can finally live his true life, but he is implicated in these things in the court and is entangled.

Perhaps, this is the price of revenge.

Once he was in the mud, he couldn't wash it off in his life......

"Ji Shoufu, the emperor and the queen are almost here, please come and sit in the palace."

There was a polite voice from the palace people behind him, Ji Yushen turned his head, and when he raised his head again, he only smiled, "Okay." ”

How many Chinese New Year's Eve palace feasts have you had in the palace?

Su Youyi sat on the top as the queen, and when she looked at the people below, she was in a trance.

From a palace maid to a nobleman, and then to a queen, her position in this hall is constantly changing, and the people around her have also changed a lot.

recalled that the virtuous concubine Li was the only one in favor of the six palaces and held great power, and thought that Concubine Fang was arrogant and willful with the imperial heir in her womb, and she didn't even look at the queen......

The vicissitudes of life, the leaders of the harem have also changed one after another.

Now even the pure nobles in the harem have changed from ignorant little girls who can eat three or four ice bowls in one breath to people who can help manage the affairs of the harem alone.

Concubine Jiang, who was from a noble background and was the most ignorant, also learned how to start from small things and slowly accumulate her prestige......

Su Youyi smiled slightly, and sat in this position again, feeling that her mood had changed a lot.

Her eyes swept from the concubines to several princes, and even the young fourth and fifth princes came tonight, and the nurses and palace maids gathered behind them to take care of them, lest they feel unwell.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were well-behaved and didn't cry at all.

Su Youyi couldn't help but wonder, thinking that before the palace banquet started today, she had said to the two princes, "Don't you always like to be more sensible than anyone?" Then tonight will be compared. Whoever cries tonight will lose, and if you lose, you are not allowed to play Laipi. ”

Her gaze turned from the princes to the lower clans and royal ministers, and she was stunned.

All the seats were two or three people together, only Ji Yushen was alone, and he looked very lonely with a wine glass pouring himself a drink.

The people in the seat were talking and laughing happily, Concubine Yan was toasting the emperor, and even the emperor didn't pay attention to Su Youyi's gaze.

Only one person noticed.

She became more and more sure that her guess was right, although it was very risky to have a big attack at such a ceremony tonight, as long as she succeeded, she would be able to pull Su Youyi off the throne of the queen!

She has been careful in her life in the harem, and she has not done a few major things, but once she decides to do it, she will definitely hit it with one blow!

"Your Majesty."

Concubine Yan sat down after toasting, and Concubine Hui also stood up with a smile and toasted the emperor.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor is not good at brushing her face, so he took the wine glass and drank it.

Concubine Hui drank it all, then poured herself another cup, and looked in Ji Yushen's direction, "Your Majesty, the concubine saw that Ji Shoufu entered the palace alone tonight, and she wanted to come to Lord Shoufu to be fair and strict, so she didn't bring Mrs. Ling into the palace for the sake of the overall situation, right?" The concubine was very moved and wanted to give a cup to Lord Shoufu. ”

This is a bit strange to say, she can toast whoever she wants, why did she deliberately mention Li Ziyue's matter?

Speaking of Li Ziyue, it will remind people of Li Gelao, Concubine Hui is not such a disappointing person on weekdays.

Ji Yushen saw that she suddenly mentioned herself, so she stood up with a wine jug and a wine glass, "Concubine Hui toasts, but the minister is disrespectful." ”

With that, he raised the flask high, and the liquor in the jug flowed down the spout of the jug, making a crisp sound.

He seemed to be a little drunk.

Concubine Hui was even happier when she saw this, and after drinking the wine in the cup, she said: "I heard an interesting story in this palace a few days ago, and the emperor and the queen may also be interested. I heard that Lord Shoufu and his wife are not on good terms, not because she is the daughter of a criminal minister, but because there is someone else in her heart. ”

Ji Yushen's hand froze, and he slowly put down the wine glass.

His eyes narrowed slightly, pretending not to care about Concubine Hui's words.

First, the faces of the emperor and Su Youyi remained unchanged, but there was no temperature in their eyes almost at the same time.

The staggered and brilliant lights were far away, and the people below couldn't see the eyes of the emperor and queen clearly, so they naturally thought that it didn't happen.

There were even people who joined in the fun and said: "I heard that Lord Shoufu is clean and self-conscious, but now Mrs. Zun ...... It's better for Lord Shoufu to marry a few other concubines. If you really have someone in your heart, it's better to be admitted to the house as soon as possible. ”

Someone else chimed in, "Yes, Lord Shoufu is young and promising, and being your concubine is also something that many women dream of." I don't know whose woman Shousuke wants in his heart? ”

The more Su Youyi listened, the more she felt that it was inappropriate, and when she saw the next head, Concubine Hui's expression became more and more proud.

What does she know?

Could it be that Li Ziyue told Concubine Hui about that?

That's impossible.

She and Concubine Hui don't know each other, why did she tell Concubine Hui these things? If it wasn't for Li Ziyue to say it, where would Concubine Hui learn about these news?

She was a little confused, and glanced at the emperor, and the emperor's eyes were unwavering.

Instead, she calmed down and looked at Concubine Hui's other tricks.

Sure enough, when the ministers were discussing the matter of taking concubines, Concubine Hui smiled and said: "I heard that Lord Shoufu has a little sister who is a childhood sweetheart, and she is the daughter of Lord Shoufu's mentor. The two went to the capital together, but later one married Miss Gaomen, and the other entered the palace as a concubine. Is that so? Shousuke-sama. ”
