Today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the security is in place. Inside and outside the hall, there are guards and the Imperial Forest Army, and the Three Emperor Uncle Shan Hong, who is in charge of the Royal Forest Army, has a heavy responsibility, and he does not drink at the table.

Behind the excitement, Shan Ye is on guard all the time.

The Assassin incident on the night of the Empress's birthday is still haunting in retrospect.

But what Shan Ye is guarding against is not only the remnants of the country who want to take his life all the time, as an emperor, he may never really trust anyone.

Shan Ye sat on the top of the main hall, with Concubine Hui on the left and the queen on the right. It is the status of the queen to sit on it, and it is the grace of the emperor that Concubine Hui can sit on it. Everyone knows this.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Shan Ye mentioned at such a grand Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was to reward the meritorious deeds of the Battle of Urdan.

Since the celebration banquet Yun Qixi did not attend, the reward link was postponed to this evening.

Yun Chong gave the seal to settle down, Wei Zhengqing gave the seal to Wei Yuan, and all kinds of rewards and materials were quite abundant.

Even Wei Qingqing, who came to supervise the transportation of materials in the baggage camp halfway, was named the county lord of Jianing by the emperor.

"Cloud Tanabata."

After everyone finished appreciating it, Shan Ye finally called her name.

The emperor shouted in such a deep voice, and the hall was surprisingly quiet.

Yun Qixi hurriedly stood up, walked out, and knelt on the ground, "Erchen is here." ”

She is the biggest hero of this battle and a hot person, so as soon as she stood out, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Without three heads and six arms, let alone a strong body, she is just a slender woman, but she can make such a great achievement.

As her dad once said, it's like a myth.

People who have never been to the battlefield have learned a lot of fragments by hearsay, and have pieced together a lot of versions.

Yun Qixi once heard a version with a very big brain, saying that she was a demon girl who knew witchcraft, and she cast witchcraft to surrender the enemy army.

At that time, she was shocked by this strange brain hole.

Yun Qixi lowered her head, and she could still feel the threatening gaze cast on top of her head.

"Qixi Festival, I will not reward you with anything else, only a thousand taels of gold. Are you satisfied? ”

The emperor was really bold when he gave out the award, and he directly stoned her to death with gold.

It turned out that he had not forgotten that she had said that she wanted nothing but silver.

This one thousand taels of gold is enough for her to be stable with him for a lifetime.

"Thank you for your grace." Yun Qixi bowed down, thanked him aloud, and returned to his seat.

The strange thing is that everyone has finished rewarding, but Shan Ye has forgotten an important person.

As the commander of this battle, isn't Shan Liancheng the person who deserves the most reward?

But Shan Ye really seemed to have forgotten, or did he do it on purpose?

He had already raised his glass, talking about the summary of the battle, his expectations for the New Year, his blessings to the people, and the society, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

There seems to be nothing wrong with everything, and the unfolding picture is peaceful.

However, not everyone is forgetful, Shan Ye has forgotten, the people below have not forgotten, some people are faintly discussing, some people are just making eye contact, incomprehensible, uneven, gloating......

But Shan Liancheng himself didn't seem to care about this, and poured himself a drink, looking calm.

Yun Qixi felt very unfair for him. As a manager, he has not paid a lot.

Depressed for a while, Yun Qixi persuaded himself again.

Anyway, she has a thousand taels of gold, and she can give him stability.

The banquet continued.

The drums sounded, and the dances came one after another.

In the bright Taihe Palace, singing and dancing are leveling, festive and lively.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve feast, and everyone is much more casual than usual.

After paying homage to the emperor one after another, those who wanted to make friends began to walk around each other with wine.

The emperor seems to be appreciating the song and dance, but in fact, I am afraid that he sees everyone's actions.

And these things on the scene, Yun Qixi doesn't like and doesn't care.

However, she suddenly saw Li An stand up with the wine, walk out of the seat, and walk to the table in Shan Liancheng. Unable to hear what he said, Yun Qixi could only see Shan Liancheng picking up his wine glass without a trace of emotion and taking a drink.

Halfway through the feast, everyone began to offer their gifts.

Most of them are precious things such as jewelry, and when they are given to noble people, naturally only one expensive word can match.

Yun Qixi subconsciously touched the bird cage at hand, feeling a little ashamed and a little nervous.

Compared with the emperor's generous reward of 1,000 taels of gold when he opened his mouth, she only spent 50 taels of silver to buy a gift, and she was a little childish when she bargained with others in the market.

The ministers of the DPRK and China have finished sending it, and it is the turn of several princes, and the gift event has arrived.

It's a secret contest.

Yun Qixi doesn't think there is anything to compare, but others will compare, and I'm afraid the emperor will also measure it in his heart.

Shan Baozhu and Yun Chong sent a set of special tea sets, and the pattern on the tea set was red plums. It is said that Shan Ye prefers red plums, so there is a plum garden in the palace. Painting red plums on tea sets can be regarded as favorites.

What Shan Jingyan sent was a pot of evergreen, which means evergreen.

Shan Ye always had a smile on his face, and he seemed quite satisfied.

The list was hidden in a pair of calligraphy and paintings written by him, which were opened by two eunuchs on the spot, and on them were written "Shi and Sui Feng" four vigorous characters.

"Time and years! Good! What a good time and a good year! ”

Shan Ye applauded again and again, and everyone saw the wind and rudder, and they also patted the horse with the whiskers.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good word!"

"Yes, the words are good, and the meaning of the words is good."

……

Shan Ye shouted in a very good mood, "You Wanshan, let people frame this pair of words of the prince in your spare time, and I want to hang it in the Chengqian Palace." ”

"Yes." You Wanshan stepped forward and immediately put away the calligraphy and painting carefully.

The queen sitting next to the emperor listened to everyone's praise, in addition to being satisfied, she was also a little proud.

Shan Ziyin's calligraphy and painting pushed the whole banquet to a small **.

Yun Qixi saw that their gift was also expensive, so she had some confidence in the gift she prepared.

If Shan Ziyin's gift is a small **, then her gift may be a big **.

In the end, everyone's eyes looked at the prince of Jin and the princess of Jin, who had not moved for a long time.

Yun Qixi took a breath, slowly stood up, and looked at the top of the main hall, where Concubine Hui cast an encouraging glance at her.

She stepped out of her seat and into the center of the hall. Because of the cage in her hand, she was once again in the spotlight.

The cage was covered with a cloth so that no one could see what was inside.

Yun Chong, Shan Baozhu, Shan Jingyan, Zhang Qinxue, they know the answer, and they are also looking forward to the moment when the parrot opens its mouth to surprise the audience.

"Qixi Festival, I see that you are carrying a bird cage, do you want to give me a bird?" Shan Ye asked lightly.

Yun Qixi replied with a smile, "Father Hui, it is indeed a bird, but it is a special bird, Father may wish to open it himself, I believe it will definitely surprise you." ”

Hearing her say this, Shan Ye was immediately aroused.

"Oh, I'm going to have to look good then."

You Wanshan hurriedly walked down, took the bird cage, and placed it on the table in front of Shan Ye.

At this time, everyone's eyes were glued to the birdcage, waiting for the so-called surprise.

Only two people didn't look at it, one was Shan Ziyin, he had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and he slowly picked up the wine glass and sipped the wine in the glass shallowly.

At this moment, everyone was paying attention to the birdcage, but he seemed to think that only the wine in his hand was a delicacy in the world.

The other is Shan Liancheng, who sits like a clock with his eyes down, as if he doesn't care, but seems to know everything very well.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and take a look!" Concubine Hui urged softly on the side.

Shan Ye nodded, and unveiled the cloth cover in everyone's expectation.

It was indeed a beautiful bird inside.

At last the light was seen, and the bird jumped twice happily.

"Revive the country! Revival of the country! ”

This bird is really special, it can speak, and the words it says are like a bombshell, and it shocks everyone.

At the moment, the hall is so quiet.

The sound of the bird repeating itself was so clear.

Yun Qixi's mind suddenly went blank, and he couldn't hear anything.

Shan Ye stared at the parrot that was still making a good noise, his face was gloomy as the eve of the storm.

At this moment, everyone didn't even dare to come out.

Concubine Hui's face turned pale with fright, but there was a hint of pride in the queen's eyes.

Those who saw the red peony parrot on the Tanabata yesterday were also full of incredulity.

Shan Ziyin picked up the small wine jug, and comfortably poured another glass of wine into his wine glass, and the sound of the wine falling into the glass was extremely clear.

Shan Ye's gaze finally looked towards His Highness, and his voice was angry.

"It's really my good son, good daughter-in-law, this is your great gift to me?"

At this moment, it is useless to say anything. She didn't know how they did it, she only knew that the parrot in the birdcage was no longer the red peony parrot it had before.

She's been designed!

No, they were designed!

Everyone knows the weight of those four words, it is enough for the emperor to take his son's life.

But Shan Liancheng sat upright with clear eyebrows, his expression was still calm, as if everything had been expected by him.

No, if everything had been expected by him, how could he have allowed things to get out of hand?

The parrot is still talking about "revival of the country".

In the main hall, Concubine Hui's cries of collapse suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding! This must be a misunderstanding! You must believe in Liancheng, he has no two hearts for the emperor! ”

Concubine Hui has never been so gaffe, the reason why she cries is actually because she knows that the situation is irreversible, and her pleas are in vain.

"Misunderstanding?" Shan Ye turned his head and stared at Concubine Hui who was kneeling at her feet.

In the past, he was always most afraid of seeing her tears. But at this moment, seeing her crying hoarsely, he wanted to sneer.

It was love at first sight for her and insisted on bringing her from Daiguo as a concubine. It is also the good son she gave birth to her, and now she wants to revive the country.

"I can believe that you are misunderstood, but my ears will not believe it, and if it weren't for my ears and eyes, how could this parrot say such things?"

When the words fell, Shan Ye's robe sleeves waved, and the bird cage fell heavily to the ground and rolled down at Yun Qixi's feet.

Finally quiet!
