In the past, the 22nd banquet of the lunar month must be held in the Yong'an Hall in the Pingcheng Palace, and this year the emperor and queen live in the Yecheng Palace, so this event will be set in Tongquetai. The Shaofu Supervisor brought more than 1,000 people from the Central Shang Bureau, the Left and Right Shang Administration, the Zhangye Department, and the Inner Attendant Supervisor to Tongque Terrace, which really decorated Tongque Terrace.

On the high platform, Tuoba Hong and He stood side by side. Looking into the distance, Yecheng can see the eyes of the two.

Hongyi sighed and said: "Enhua and the four seas, Jiawu Fu and the people are healthy." May the eternal solidity of the Stell, and the joy of the end of the ancient! ”

He smiled and said, "Yuan Lang also likes Cao Zijian's "Tongque Taifu"? ”

Hongshen grabbed He's shoulder with one hand, and pointed into the distance with the other hand: "Climbing higher than here, it is like being in the air, you can not only observe the long flow of Zhangshui, but also look at the grandeur of the imperial capital." Cao Zi Jianguo is an extraordinary person, his poems are subdued and orderly, there is both a sprinkling rhyme, and a slight grace, it can really be described as a person through the ages! ”

He nodded and said, "That Cao Zijian is really a talented writer." ”

Hong turned sideways and looked at He Dao: "When the spring flowers bloom in the next year, I will bring you to this Tongque platform again, and you will definitely be able to see the spring breeze and Mu Zhijing written by Cao Zijian." ”

In the queen's bedroom, her brother Feng Yu had informed the queen Feng of the details of the Wang family and the recent situation of the Gao Mansion.

At this moment, Feng had already guessed He's identity, and snorted coldly and said to the nurse Xiao Shi: "The daughter of Zai Jiao is really charming!" ”

Xiao Shi smiled and said: "Isn't this daughter of Zai Jiao more useful to the queen?" After a pause, she explained: "Since the founding of Taizu, although there have been daughters of Zai Jiao who have entered the palace, most of them are women of the world, and there are few products above the concubine position. Now that His Majesty is practicing the rule of Sinicization, he must follow the etiquette law, so the woman is not afraid. She is close to the king's side every day, if she has an heir, the queen can bring you to raise it justifiably, isn't it a beautiful thing. ”

Feng Shi said disdainfully: "I am happy with Feng, and I still need to rely on her to be a girl?" ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "That's not necessary!" Queen, you are a model in the harem, and the new beauty should be taught by you. If you don't care, I'm afraid that Mrs. Li will do something extravagant again. ”

Feng's eyes suddenly lit up with hatred, and he said, "She doesn't think about it!" ”

The closest palace to the emperor's bedroom was the residence of the noble concubine Li.

Tuoba Hong entered all the way along the corridor, only to see the plum blossoms, reflecting the snow, which was extraordinarily gorgeous.

The Li family had heard the news and was about to salute, but was signaled by Tuoba Hong to be exempted, so he approached and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Lamei in this palace is blooming, and the concubine does not dare to reward it alone, so please come to Your Majesty." ”

Tuoba Hong said with a smile: "Although this plum blossom is not as graceful as the peony, it has a unique solar term of frost and snow, and I also like it very much." ”

Li walked to Tuoba Hong's side and said with a smile: "Then please move your majesty into the courtyard." ”

Tuoba Hong slowly walked to the plum tree and said to the Li family: "In this palace, you have the most plums here, the most complete taste, and the most pleasant natural aroma. ”

Li said: "The concubine uses plum blossoms into the wine, and the wine has both the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms and the thick of spirits. ”

Tuoba Hong laughed and said, "As you say, then I will ask you for a glass of wine." ”

Li Shi saw that Tuoba Hong was enjoying himself, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, in a few days it will be the 'Relatives Banquet', all the adults come from all over the world, the concubines are thinking, if the plum blossoms are used to Tusu wine during the feast, the wine can be sweet and fragrant, and it will not lose the effect of driving away the cold and avoiding miasma." ”

Tuoba Hong put down the ear cup and said to Li with a smile: "Madame is really exquisite. He turned to Sanbao and said, "Tomorrow, you will go to the lady's palace with your attendants to pick plum blossoms for wine." ”

Li Shi said to the Three Treasures: "The eunuch is close to Your Majesty, and there is no need to bother the eunuch for such a trivial matter. The chief eunuch only needs to send manpower, and I can arrange it myself. ”

Sanbao lowered his hand and said, "Mrs. Li, this is all a matter of slavery. ”

The Li family personally held the pot and added wine to Tuoba Hong, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see, the eunuch is afraid that the concubine will rob him." ”

Tuoba Hong laughed loudly: "Sanbao, don't thank Mrs. for your compassion. ”

Sanbao was about to salute, but was stopped by Li Shi with a smile: "The concubine is joking with Your Majesty, and the eunuch doesn't need to be polite." ”

Sanbao also smiled and said to the Li family: "Thank you Madame for your love, and the slave will go down to arrange it." After that, he saluted the imperial concubine and withdrew.

Tuoba Hong looked at the Li family and asked, "It has been nearly ten days since the Duke of Longxi came to Yecheng, have you ever seen it?" ”

Li smiled and said: "My father is diligent in political affairs, but he has no time to take care of the daughter of the concubine." Furthermore, if a concubine lives in the inner palace, she is her father, and she is not allowed to enter and leave at will. ”

Tuoba Hong nodded and said: "The Duke of Longxi is modest and self-shepherd, and he is an example for all relatives. I regard him as the young master of my son, and now I am building a new capital with him, also because he has this virtue. ”

Li got up and saluted: "The concubine thanked Your Majesty for her father's kindness." The concubine is not only the father's daughter, but also His Majesty's concubine, and the concubine should follow her father's teachings, serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, assist the queen, and make His Majesty's harem worry-free. ”

Tuoba Hong smiled and drank the wine from his glass.

Li Shi held the pot and wanted to pour wine for Tuoba Hong again, but Tuoba Hong said: "Although Madame's wine is made of Qiong Jelly and Jade, I dare not be greedy for a cup." Before this seal, there were still many government affairs to deal with. ”

Although Li's heart was slightly sour, he said quietly: "Your Majesty's diligence is a blessing in the world." As he spoke, he motioned to the handmaid Huandan, who was close to him, to fetch a jar of wine, and said softly to Tuoba Hong: "Your Majesty, you can take this jar of plum blossom wine back, and you can taste it again in your spare time." After a pause, he continued, "You can also let the sister you have never met taste it." ”

Tuoba Hong raised his eyes to look at Lee, his smile overflowing with approval.
