The ancestors of the Yun clan have been trained since ancient times, and the clansmen are not allowed to go out, but this does not mean that the Yun clan cannot participate in political affairs. In fact, generations of Yun family members have been intervening in politics with business under the false position of "Lixin Hou", and silently intervening in the rise and fall of the dynasty behind the scenes with the huge amount of money in their hands and the reputation of the Yun family. Just like Izuku is doing now.

Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun, slowly walked into the palace where the banquet was held, and both sides were full. Above the Danqi, a slightly old man sat side by side with two graceful and luxurious women, needless to say, it was naturally Emperor Tongsheng Nie Jingxuan and his queen Mingzhen, as well as the noble concubine Ye Yingfei.

This latter concubine is divided into Emperor Nie's left and right, if it is according to Nanxi's statement that the left is respected, Xiu can also tell which is the queen of the dynasty. What's more, Concubine Ye on Emperor Nie's right hand is obviously younger, and her clothes are not as luxurious as the queen.

There are only these two ladies in the palace, and the remaining are the four princes, each of whom is dressed up in the clothes of the prince and the prince of the county, and among them, the prince of Mu and the king of Chengjun are the most outstanding. Other than that, there was no one else at the feast.

I was fortunate enough to come to Emperor Nie's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet! Izuku smiled and sighed in his heart, with a proper smile on his face, and leaned over to salute: "The concubine is out of the Yun family, and I have seen the saint." ”

She didn't meet Ming Zhen and Ye Yingfei, not to mention that the status of these two families was far inferior to that of the Yun family, not to mention that Emperor Nie didn't introduce him much. In the same way, she didn't recognize all the four princes in the palace, and she didn't need to greet each of them when she asked herself.

In the eyes of Izuxiu, Emperor Nanxi Nie is nothing, what she values is Mu Wang Nie Peihan, who is about to become the iron-blooded king who unifies the north and the south, and his exploits are in the annals of history. In particular, after Beixuansheng Rui Emperor Chenxuan became seriously ill, she was even more sure of this conjecture.

Izuku has always maintained a proper smile, and he also heard the amazing voice from the hall at the right time. She had specially dressed up today, and she guessed from the expression on her face when she came to deliver the decree that she had to hear some praise when she came to Yingyuan Palace this time.

In this way, King Mu and King Chengjun are indeed great things, at least when these two people first saw themselves, they didn't pay much attention to their appearance. However, Izumi still remembered that Nie Peixiao was wearing a pro-dynasty dress when she first saw her, but it was ...... It's a little too solemn.

Thinking of this, Izumi couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a flash of admiration in Queen Mingzhen's eyes, and a trace of ...... Something extraordinary? Out of Xiu's heart "grunt", isn't it? Mingzhen knows his former identity?

Yes, since Helian Qi knows, Mingying will naturally know, and Queen Mingzhen, as Mingying's aunt, knows the inside story sooner or later. Izumi has a faint premonition that tonight's New Year's banquet will be full of branches.

But with King Mu here, her heart settled down a little. She remembered that King Mu had said that the Ming family's good days were coming to an end, not to mention, in front of outsiders, the Yun family was his ally, and he would not die without help.

After making up her mind, under the guidance of the waiter, Xiu sat down with a smile, and opposite her happened to be Nie Peihan, the king of Mu, and Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun. Bowing his head slightly to these two people, he heard Emperor Nie speak above the Danqi: "Madame's elegance has long been heard, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Izumi lowered his eyes and smiled: "The saint is too famous." ”

Emperor Nie took the opportunity to introduce several people at the banquet one by one, and only then did she see the salute one by one, especially when facing Queen Mingzhen, she could feel the hostility from the other party, and ...... Provocation. Izuku couldn't help but secretly exchange a look with King Mu, and the other party held the wine glass and shook his head gently, indicating "not enough to be (afraid)".

"When Mrs. Fang Xiu didn't come, King Mu also mentioned you, saying that this time he saved the car meritorious, thanks to the Yun family's contribution and efforts. Speaking of which, Madame is also a hero! Queen Mingzhen was the first to speak, and she hid her knife in her smile and said this sentence.

Out of Xiu Yingying looked back and said with a smile: "The queen mother praises falsely." King Fu is disloyal and unfilial, and he goes against the sky, and it is a matter of time before he fails. The teacher of King Mu's benevolence and righteousness, the teacher is famous, even without the help of the Yun family, it is also the will of heaven. ”

The queen hid her face and smiled when she heard this, and praised her: "It is worthy of Mrs. Xiu...... she did not finish her praise, and then said: "It's just a pity, Mrs. is young and born in a beautiful world, but she has to be widowed...... The untimely death of Lixinhou has to be said to be a regrettable. ”

Out of Xiu heard it, Queen Mingzhen deliberately found fault. She was not angry, and her words were gentle but loud: "The first husband has passed away for many years, but he has always blessed the Yun family, and it seems that he has never been far away in the body and mind of the concubine; On the contrary, there are some women in this world who act too sharply and do not know how to measure, causing husband and wife to be separated, as if they are widows. The concubine thinks that such a woman is even more pitiful, but it's a pity, don't you say? ”

The voice fell, and a coquettish smile of "poof" came from the hall at the right time, from Ye Guifei on the right side of Emperor Nie. She gently clapped her palms in agreement: "It is worthy of Mrs. Chuxiu, and this opinion is related to the palace." The relationship between the Marquis and his wife is deep, and even if he dies young, it is still in his heart, and in comparison, it is much more uncomfortable to be widowed. ”

Originally, Xiu Fangcai's words had made Queen Mingzhen's face unkind, and at this moment, Ye Guifei's oil and vinegar made her face tense. Out of Xiu's eyes cast a look of thanks to Ye Guifei, and said in her mouth: "Guifei Niangniang is a collection of thousands of favors, and there are two princes of King Mu and King Chengjun, which really makes the concubine envious." ”

"This palace is also very envious of Madame! At this age, Bengong doesn't know much about the rules, thanks to the saint's inconsiderate and tolerant ...... Otherwise, the palace would have been widowed early. Ye Guifei glanced at Emperor Nie lightly, and smiled: "But having a son under your knees is indeed a comforting thing." ”

Chuxiu and Ye Guifei sang and harmonized, choking Queen Mingzhen had nothing to say. As everyone knows, the only beloved son of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest prince, died early, and later the Fu King she secretly supported also failed to rebel, and now she has no heirs, which is more sad than losing her husband's favor! Izumi thought that since she was holding on to herself, it was not just for the four words "Mrs. Izuxiu", but for the Yun family behind her.

However, the strange thing is that after this, the jealousy of the concubine was put on the surface, but Emperor Nie still smiled and watched, without any displeasure or interference; Looking at the princes in the palace, they are also very indifferent, as if they have seen this paragraph thousands of times.

Only then did it suddenly dawn on her, in fact, no matter whether she was there tonight or not, Ye Guifei and Empress Ming were afraid that they would not stop. But now that the general trend of the Ming clan has gone, why should Ming Hou do a dying struggle? It's better to know the current affairs, at least you can keep the title of queen.

That's it, Yun Xian has killed the second son of Ming, and he has made a feud with Ming Ying, and the relationship between the Yun family and the Ming family has no room for change. In this case, I don't have to save any face for Queen Mingzhen, just tear my face, and we will feel better for each other. At least, it won't be so tiring.

Since he has made up his mind, he doesn't think much about it. What the other party said, she was only perfunctory at most, showing that she didn't want to give the other party a face, so it was really a lot cleaner. Emperor Nie also came to sing and dance at the right time, and chatted with a group of princes, and he was bored by the side, but he still didn't understand why Emperor Nie invited him to the banquet.

Is it just to watch the show for yourself? After seeing the jealousy of Ye Guifei after seeing it? Izuku couldn't help but glance at King Mu on the opposite side again, this time she didn't see King Mu looking back, but taught her to find that King Chengjun was looking at her. Zhu Xiu asked Nie Peixiao with his eyes in confusion, but unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have a weak heart, buried his head in a sip, and did not respond.

Tonight's palace banquet is really strangely tight, and Xiu can only adapt to all changes. It wasn't until the end of the palace banquet that Queen Mingzhen suddenly became interested again, and pinched Chu Xiu again: "In the past, I only heard the name of Mrs. Fang, but today I know that Mrs. is beautiful in the world." With your talent, don't you want to guard the Yun family for the rest of your life? ”

Why did you mention "widowhood" again? Izuku was a little impatient, silent and unwilling to respond.

Who knew that after Minghou was aggressive, he sighed again: "The Yun family and Mu Wangfu are in the same place, and the lady is a woman, so Mu Wang should help more." After that, she pretended to look at Emperor Nie comfortingly: "No wonder Mrs. Chuxiu will support King Mu...... According to the concubines, with the help of the Yun family in the future, King Mu will definitely unify the north and the south smoothly, and you can rest assured. ”

At this point, Izuku finally heard what Ming Hou meant. Her profound smile to herself, as well as Fang Cai's disrespectful words, was not aimed at the Yun family, nor because she knew that she was Han Chu...... She's targeting King Mu!

After Ming said so much, she just wanted to accuse herself of having an affair with King Mu. first said that he supported King Mu's "rescue" merit, and repeatedly mentioned that he was young and widowed, and also said that Yunfu and King Mu's Mansion were in the same city to help each other...... It turned out that he wanted to pour dirty water on himself and King Mu!

The side can be endured, but in the matter of "chastity", Izumi will never allow others to gossip! She admitted that she was annoyed, and when she looked at King Mu again, she also had a gloomy face, and she was looking at her. The yin owl in his eyes was undisguised, making those phoenix eyes glow with inky black and cold light, which was quite terrifying.

Seeing this, Izumi was much more confident, she knew that she should remain silent at the moment and let King Mu explain and refute, but she couldn't do it, and she couldn't bear it, and Minghou touched her bottom line......

The hands hidden in the sleeves tightened, and she immediately wanted to get up and refute, but someone was one step faster than her-At this time, but seeing that Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun, got up suddenly, she said to Ming Hou with a smile: "The queen mother said very much. Speaking of which, Erchen finally understood why Miss Ming wanted to marry the Helian clan. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? When Empress Ming saw Nie Peixiao mention her niece Mingying, she couldn't help but listen carefully.

"If Erchen is not mistaken, the Ming Mansion and Helian Mansion were only separated by half a street back then, presumably before the queen mother got married, Lord Helian did not help you less. Therefore, you know how to repay your kindness, so you insist on promising Miss Ming to Lord Helian's only son, and the two families have formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin. I don't know if Erchen guessed right? The corners of Nie Peixiao's mouth pursed, and there was no sarcasm on her face.

Empress Mingzhen changed color for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
