The palace banquet is still the same, and all kinds of businesses blow each other.

Xiao Mingrui was also the same as last time, taking Song Yue'er and Concubine Rong with him, enjoying the worship of hundreds of officials, as well as blessings, a happy and harmonious scene.

Ye Qingli and Xiao Tingyi secretly looked at Zheng Enyi, guessing in their hearts whether he would stand up tonight.

But fortunately, he had already seen it just now, General Su did not appear tonight, and I think it was Su Yu who had already communicated and discussed with him.

At this moment, the elegant and dignified palace music is playing slowly, and the dancers are wearing gorgeous costumes, and their waists like water snakes are stretched wantonly, showing beautiful and soft movements, which makes many people unable to take their eyes off.

"Your Majesty."

Song Yue'er poured a glass of chrysanthemum wine for Xiao Mingrui, and said gently, "Today is Chongyang, and the palace is here for a banquet, I believe that the ancestors and ancestors can see that today's great cadres are becoming more and more prosperous under your governance." ”

Yes, this is the meaning of the Chongyang Palace Banquet.

Let the ancestors in the heavens be relieved to see that the descendants are living a good life in comfort and calm, and the country is prosperous.

"Hmm."

Xiao Mingrui was very satisfied with her words, so he became enthusiastic and drank all the wine in the cup.

Concubine Rong was not to be outdone, and toasted, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the Suga tribe, the concubine wishes me and the people a smooth wind and rain, and a bumper harvest." ”

"Okay, haha."

Xiao Mingrui also drank and was in a better mood.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also wish the great cadres a smooth and smooth life, as well as your health, and the ministers are also willing to contribute their own strength to Your Majesty and the great cadres in the future."

Zheng Enyi finally stood up and patted his ass.

"Then the king will also come to pay a glass to His Majesty."

Xiao Mingrui didn't stand up, just sat lazily and raised his glass to Xiao Mingrui casually, this style is really in contrast to the humble Zheng Enyi.

But who calls someone an imperial uncle?

Ye Qingli also hurriedly raised his glass, and said a little awkwardly, "I...... I also respect Your Majesty! ”

As if she was overly nervous, the edges of her exquisite sleeves embroidered with golden chrysanthemums were sprinkled with wine, and suddenly, many mocking eyes were cast.

"Aunt Huang, we are a family, why are you still so nervous."

Xiao Mingrui said polite words, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and Xiao Tingyi said disgustedly, "What else can you do." ”

Ye Qingli bowed her head aggrievedly and didn't dare to speak again.

"Today is a palace banquet, don't blame the princess, right?"

Zheng Enyi helped to play the round with a smile, but Xiao Tingyi didn't buy his account at all, and replied, "This king taught his own princess, it's your business?" ”

Suddenly, Zheng Enyi's face turned red and white for a while.

Rao is no matter how well he can speak, he can't help but be said like this in front of the public, and seeing this, Xiao Mingrui diverted the topic, as if he had just discovered something, and said, "Why don't you see General Su?" ”

"Your Majesty."

The chief eunuch beside him explained, "General Su practiced wrestling with the soldiers in the martial arts arena today, but he accidentally twisted his waist and couldn't get up, so he couldn't come." ”

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"

Xiao Mingrui was worried, and hurriedly asked, "Can you send the imperial doctor over to see it?" Is it serious? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you were busy at the time, and the slave didn't dare to disturb, but I have already asked the imperial doctor to take a look, probably because General Su was in good spirits, and he got carried away, so it was caused by excessive exertion, and it was not too serious, and it would be fine to cultivate for two months."

The chief eunuch replied.

"Well, that's fine, wait until tomorrow you go and pick up some good tonics and send them to General Dingyuan's mansion."

"Yes."

After Xiao Mingrui gave the order, Zheng Enyi said, "Your Majesty really understands us courtiers, and there is no one more benevolent and virtuous than this, which simply moved the ministers." ”

Ye Qingli couldn't help but sneer coldly in her heart, this ability to catch farts with the wind is unmatched.

And Xiao Mingrui asked again, "I remember, the son of General Su's family seems to be not young, right?" ”

"Yes, Su Gongzi is like a jade, with high quality, both civil and military, such an excellent person, he has not married a wife yet."

Zheng Enyi replied.

"The male should get married, the female should get married, if Su Gongzi gets married as soon as possible, presumably, he should be able to avoid a matter on General Su's mind, right?"

Xiao Mingrui put on an approachable smile, like a friend usually doing homely things, and said slowly, "I suddenly want to be a matchmaker again." ”

Suddenly, Xiao Tingyi and Ye Qingli's hearts were tight, and they still came after all.

And Xiao Tingyi drank the wine, his expression was not shocked, and said, "Your Majesty, don't pick a useless waste again, although Su Gongzi is not as handsome as this king, but he can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, if he marries a waste, I am afraid that General Su's waist will hurt even more." ”

When Ye Qingli heard this, he quietly pinched Xiao Tingyi's thigh under the table.

even insinuated against her again!

However, Xiao Tingyi didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and still drank casually, but secretly said, "Princess, are you telling this king that you want to do something special tonight?" ”

Ye Qingli's hand suddenly shrank, and he almost didn't jump up.

Rogue! Stinky and shameless!

These days, he has been relying on himself, and he is still blindly asking for too much, and her current back pain is estimated to be no lighter than that of General Su.

Obviously hearing Ye Qingli gritting his teeth gently, Xiao Tingyi smiled secretly and continued to sip wine.

At this time, Xiao Mingrui pretended to soothe, "Whatever Uncle Huang said, I have always felt that the princess is quiet and elegant, and with Uncle Huang's active temperament, she is still and moving, which is very complementary. ”

Xiao Tingyi put on a disdainful look and didn't speak, while Zheng Enyi said, "Su Gongzi is the first son in the capital, with an orchid temperament and unparalleled appearance, so it is natural to match a woman who is also beautiful and has a good heart." ”

It seems that this is about to get to the point.

Xiao Mingrui pretended to nod, then looked at Ye Hong, who was shrinking and pretending to be okay a little farther away, and asked, "Ye Shilang, I remember that the concubine once said that the second lady of your family is the sixth beauty in the capital, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also very good at cooking, which can be called a model of dignified and virtuous." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is terrified!"

Ye Hong hurriedly stood up, walked to the middle and knelt down, and said in fear, "Weichen has only one concubine, who has been married to His Royal Highness King Xian, and the rest of the daughters are all concubines, and they are not worthy of the excellence and identity of Su Gongzi." ”

"It's not just the origin."

Xiao Mingrui didn't care, but looked at Ye Qingli and asked, "Aunt Huang, in order to match the two people, I plan to let Ye Shilang straighten his wife, what do you think?" ”

In an instant, all eyes fell on Ye Qingli's body.

And Ye Qingli didn't expect that this ball could be kicked into his arms, and in front of everyone, the emperor personally asked, if she didn't agree, wouldn't she give face?

Oh, what a delicate abacus.

Xiao Tingyi's eyes darkened, and he looked at Ye Qingli sideways, but saw her stand up, lowered her head, and also walked to the middle, standing beside Ye Hong, and said softly, "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth or falsehood?" ”

Ye Hong knelt beside her, his expression was a little cold, but he was extremely contemptuous, he didn't believe it, in front of His Majesty, Ye Qingli still dared to openly refuse?

Song Yue'er looked down from above, and suddenly felt extremely happy in her heart for some reason, and Xiao Mingrui, who claimed to be Mingjun, naturally replied, "It must be the truth, what does the imperial aunt say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ye Qingli still lowered her head, but her voice was a little firmer than just now, "Back to Your Majesty, I don't want to." ”

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

Even Ye Hong was stunned, and looked up at her incredibly, shocked in her heart, she really dared to resist openly?

"Oh? Why? ”

Xiao Mingrui still smiled peacefully, but his voice seemed to have some majesty and pressure, "Could it be that the imperial aunt doesn't want to fulfill such a beautiful couple?" ”

Ye Qingli vomited wildly in his heart, I'm phew! What a bullshit man! What kind of thing is Ye Wanrou!

"As a daughter, I naturally hope that my deceased mother is the only wife, so that her soul that died early can rest forever underground."

Ye Qingli said, and there were faint tears, "Although I have never seen my mother, I have always been grateful for the grace of childbirth in my heart, and I am unwilling to tell lies, so that my deceased mother will chill my heart underground, and I am not willing to bully the king against my will, so if Your Majesty asks me, the answer must be unwilling." ”

And after she finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

Although it is a refusal, from a moral and ethical point of view, there is nothing wrong with every word in her words!

Daqian governs the country with courtesy, and filial piety is also the object of great admiration, Ye Qingli's words, listening to the high-sounding, absolutely impeccable, commendable!

If Xiao Mingrui insisted, it would become an insult to Ye Qingli's deceased mother.

At this time, Ye Hongqi's face was almost green.

Originally, he thought that if he was promoted to Zhao Bichi's position, he would definitely attract criticism, so he discussed it with Zheng Enyi, and His Majesty would start a conversation, and he would just push the boat down the river.

But in this way, he will not be able to shake the position of Wang's wife, even if she is already a dead person, and has become a hard and lifeless tablet.

In order to maintain his image as a gentleman, of course Xiao Mingrui couldn't say more about this matter, and even had to 'express' it, so he laughed, nodded and praised, "The imperial aunt is really the most filial person, and I can't help but admire it." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the eunuchs beside him, "Spread my will, and specially seal Ye Shilang's deceased wife as a four-grade lady and enjoy the benefits." ”

You must know that although the first-grade lady is the most powerful, the fourth-grade lady's salary is not low, and the Wang family has long since died, and this money will also fall into Ye Hong's pocket.

This can be regarded as Xiao Mingrui's appeasement of Ye Hong.

Anyway, in this matter, Xiao Mingrui can't say a word, and the rest can only rely on Ye Hong himself, there is nothing to compensate for, but to give some money.

But even so, Ye Hong still hated it in his heart, and was secretly angry, how could he give birth to such a disobedient and unfilial white-eyed wolf daughter who did not put the interests of the family first!

Unexpectedly, what made him want to vomit blood even more was that Ye Qingli actually said again, "Your Majesty, please allow me to refuse on behalf of my deceased mother." ”

As a result, everyone present was dumbfounded again.
