Chapter 66: The Full Moon

The palace is lit up and down, the golden walls are splendid, and the atmosphere is full of festivity.

Today is the full moon wine of the little prince Ye Xingchen, the emperor set up a banquet in the palace auspicious hall to celebrate, and the officials above the fifth grade came to congratulate with generous gifts.

At this time, Ye Yuntian was sitting on the imperial chair in the middle, the queen mother was sitting on the left hand, and Xiao Qian was sitting on the right hand.

Our little prince is being held in the arms of the Queen Mother at the moment, the Queen Mother is also very different from before, now the whole body is full of kindness and amiability, the little prince giggles in her arms, and the Queen Mother looks at the baby grandson in her arms with a smile on her face.

It's strange to say, before Xiao Qian's birth, the Queen Mother was still very sick, since she knew that she had successfully given birth to a little prince, the Queen Mother's illness recovered quickly, and it was really refreshing for people to be happy at every happy event. At the beginning, I was a little embarrassed to go to Zhuyuxuan, after all, I was embarrassed by Xiao Qian before, but I couldn't cover my heart of thinking about my grandson day and night, so I couldn't help but go.

Xiao Qianyi saw the Queen Mother coming, and she was also very nervous, the Queen Mother had never been to Zhuyuxuan before, this suddenly came, which made people's hearts go up and down, the Queen Mother proposed to hug the little prince, she was even more nervous, her eyes were staring without blinking, for fear that the Queen Mother would do something to hurt her children because she didn't like herself.

Whoever ever thought about it was thinking too much about himself. It turned out that the queen mother liked the little prince so much, and she usually looked so majestic and high, and as soon as the little prince was in her arms, she immediately turned into a kind and amiable imperial grandmother. After a long time, Xiao Qian was completely relieved, and now sometimes the little prince spends the night in Yongshou Palace.

Lan Wan had also lifted the grounding in advance, and sat in the first position in the concubine area. At this moment, looking at the three people above, a picture of harmony, I gritted my teeth with hatred in my heart, even my aunt didn't help me anymore, who else could I count on in the future. Thinking that as soon as the grounding was lifted, I would go to see the Queen Mother's aunt, I originally thought that my aunt would definitely help me get angry, who would have thought that my aunt would persuade herself to look away, don't care about the past, and get along with Xiao Qian in the future, how is this possible, now she has the favor of the emperor's cousin, and has a son who is the prince, this life is glorious and rich and dependent, looking at herself, there is nothing, all this is due to her, she snatched everything that originally belonged to her, and she can't wait to cut her with a thousand knives to vent her anger.

The other concubines also sat here with their own thoughts, looking at the concubine with envy for a while, and then thinking of their own situation with a sad face......

The banquet began, and all the ministers sitting below stood up and raised their glasses:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live"

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose"

Ye Yuntian Long's heart was happy: "Okay!" ”

The monarch and the ministers raised their glasses and drank together, and they were all gone.

"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained, today is a family banquet, there are not so many etiquettes in the court, everyone enjoy it!"

After speaking, with a wave of his big hand, a row of palace maids came out, dancing to the beautiful singing.

These palace maids are all beautiful and moon-looking, and the dancing posture of Miaoman is even more delicate and tight, and the eyes of many ministers are straight.

Prime Minister Lan Yuzhou, who was sitting in the first place of the ministers, was on fire at the moment, first in the court, the emperor did not listen to his advice, insisted on going his own way, and insisted on making this little prince who was not yet a month old the crown prince, so that he would lose face among the ministers. Now come to a full moon banquet, and his daughter looks at him with resentful eyes from above, complaining that he is incompetent and cannot win the status of the master of the harem for her. What he is doing as a prime minister is becoming more and more unpleasant, the emperor used to be obedient to his words, since when did he not take his uncle in his eyes. Looking at the Queen Mother sitting on the left side of the emperor, her own sister used to be of the same mind as herself, but now she feels estranged from herself. It's not okay to go on like this, the wine banquet will be over for a while, and I have to talk to this sister about it.

Under the relaxation of singing and dancing, these ministers gradually became less restrained, and let go one by one, chatting, drinking, and chatting in twos and threes. After three rounds of drinking, some ministers drank too much and didn't care about talking.

Ji Shushu of the Ministry of Officials shook the wine jug, and said to Ren Zhenglin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, next to him, while drinking: "Do you know what is rumored in the neighborhood these days? ”

"What?" Ren Zhenglin asked curiously.

Ji Wenwen smiled mysteriously, and then said: "It is rumored that the concubine will soon be made the queen!" ”

Ren Zhenglin was startled when he heard him say this, raised his head and quickly looked at the emperor's side, seeing that he didn't look at this side, before he continued: "This is not necessarily, as a courtier, I dare not make judgments." ”

Who knows, Ji Wenwen directly retorted loudly: "What's not certain, her sons are all princes, is she far away from being the queen?" ”

The originally lively atmosphere was silent for a moment, and the eyes of the audience were focused on this side.

Ren Zhenglin was frightened and hurriedly went to pull Ji Shu and reminded him: "Shut up, don't say anything!" ”

As a result, Ji Wenwen's strength came up, and he didn't notice the change in the surrounding atmosphere at all, and still continued: "Why let me shut up, I won't, I just want to say, I see that this concubine is a vixen who bewitches the lord, since she entered the palace, the emperor has been around her all day long, and three thousand favors are all in one, poor my daughter is like a dream, and she will be lonely in the palace......

"What kind of fairy descends from the earth, in my opinion, is a bewitching fox spirit, let the emperor obey her words, the child who was just born was actually made the prince before the full moon, which dynasty and which generation has such a precedent, and the laws left by the ancestors have been destroyed, she is simply the scourge of Yunyue Kingdom!"

After saying this, he fell directly drunk in the center of the main hall.

As soon as these words came out, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and the hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Ye Yuntian's face was like ten thousand years of ice, and all the ministers did not dare to speak at this moment, for fear of harming themselves.

"Ren Zhenglin, what were you talking about just now?" Ye Yuntian asked angrily.

Ren Zhenglin knelt directly on the ground in fright, and said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, Weichen was originally chatting with Lord Ji, chatting and chatting, and Lord Ji asked Weichen if he knew some rumors in the neighborhood recently. ”

Weichen replied that I don't know, Lord Ji said that it was rumored that the concubine Niangniang would soon be made the queen.

"Weichen advised Lord Ji not to speculate, which attracted Lord Ji's next words!"

"Your Majesty, give the minister a hundred dares, and the minister doesn't dare to figure out the holy will, let alone spread rumors and slander the concubine, this matter has nothing to do with the minister, please ask the emperor to find out!"

At this time, Ren Zhenglin was very regretful in his heart, why did he listen to Ji Wenwen say these words, but he had been talking to him about drinking, on the surface, he was dragged into the water, and he couldn't wash it when he jumped into the Yellow River!

"Fuxi, sober up Ji Aiqing!"

After Ye Yuntian heard what he said, he didn't let him get up, but directly asked Fuxi to sober up Ji Wen.

Fuxi directly asked people to bring a few basins of cold water and splashed them on Ji Shuwen.

Ji Ru, who was sitting on the concubine seat, dreamed that his father was so humiliated, and despite the dissuasion of other concubines around him, he rushed out and knelt in the main hall: "Your Majesty, my father is drunk and doesn't choose what to say for a while, and I ask the emperor to be gracious!" ”

"Hmph, don't choose your words......" Ye Yuntian snorted coldly, and then said coldly: "I see that what he said is from the bottom of his heart!" ”

After turning over a few basins of cold water, Ji Wenwen slowly came to his senses, and saw Ren Zhenglin and his daughter kneeling beside him, and he didn't know what was going on: "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

This sentence added fuel to the fire of Ye Yuntian, who asked: "Okay, you Ji Shu, you dare to ask me what happened?" Come on, pull it out and cut it! ”

Everyone present was startled, and Ji Wenwen hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you just want to let Weichen die, and you have to let the minister die!" ”

"Okay, I'll fulfill you!"

"Ren Zhenglin, tell him!"

Ren Zhenglin stubbornly repeated what he said just now.

Ji Wenwen was terrified when he heard this, he had always drunk and made trouble, and he rarely drank it usually, but today he drank too much on such an important occasion, and said so many of the following things, this is over!

"What is your intention to slander the concubine so much?" Ye Yuntian's sharp eyes swept over.

At this moment, Ji Wenwen is also out of the way, both horizontal and vertical are dead, and he vomits quickly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is indeed dissatisfied with the concubine, and today he was drunk and inadvertently said the words buried in his heart, but Weichen did not have any ill intentions, but he just saw that the concubine's face was full of happiness, thinking of my hard-working daughter, poor my daughter, the emperor is alone, my daughter is afraid that she will die of old age in the palace......"

After saying this, Shang Fei, the general who protected the country, was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, what Lord Ji said made Wechen also think of his daughter, according to the laws of the country, the minister should not interfere in the affairs of the harem, but today Wechen can't care so much for his daughter, no matter whether the emperor kills or punishes, Wechen admits it, and only implores the emperor to get the rain and dew!" ”

Someone took the lead, and then Sun Qiu Ming, a scholar of Hallym University, also stood up: "The minister also implores the emperor to be wet with rain and dew!" Don't spoil one person! ”

Slowly, all the ministers who had their daughters in the harem stood up and begged the emperor one after another.

The queen mother didn't speak the whole time, she was very happy to see such a scene in her heart, although she didn't hate Xiao Qian now, and she could accept it slowly, but it didn't mean that she could accept that the emperor favored her alone, and let the other concubines in the harem become decorations, these concubines who can be selected into the palace have intricate backgrounds, which are closely related to the future development of Yunyue Kingdom, and the emperor favors one alone, which is not good for the country. Today, someone proposed that it would be a good thing if the emperor could be evenly exposed to rain and dew in the future.

Xiao Qian listened to Ji Wenwen's slander of her, she didn't take it to heart, but when she heard a father's care and love for her daughter, she felt so guilty in her heart, it was all because of herself, if she hadn't appeared, there would be no scene like today, I want to say something, but I don't know where to start, it is a fact that the emperor spoiled himself alone and snubbed their daughter, what can I say......

Ye Yuntian looked at all this coldly, and said lazily: "I understand the love of all the Aiqing and the love of women, I have decided that from today onwards, there will only be one concubine in the harem, and the other concubines will be allowed to leave the palace!" ”

"Zhong Aiqing thinks it's good?"

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother was anxious: "Nonsense, how can the concubines in the harem leave the palace?" This will damage the royal face, and the mourning family will never allow such a thing to happen! ”

The ministers kneeling in the hall were also petrified: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Is it to abolish concubines? If this spreads and his daughter is kicked out of the palace, what face will he have in the future! ”

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, look at each other, no one thought that the emperor would abolish the entire harem for the sake of the concubine, and the ministers couldn't believe it......

When Xiao Qian heard Ye Yuntian say this, his heart was also turbulent, he actually wanted to give up the entire three palaces and six courtyards for himself, a generation of emperors, he really wanted to take only one scoop of three thousand weak water, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time......

The concubines, if they still had illusions about the emperor before, they were shattered at this moment......

In the end, this matter, under the strong efforts of the Queen Mother, will be stopped for the time being!
