Chapter 56: The Best Scapegoat

Before the words were finished, let alone the emperor and the queen mother, even the queen walked in front of the birthday cake together.

"It's ...... Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?! The emperor was surprised, the length and width of this birthday sweet cake are about one inch, and the height is more than three feet.

But it doesn't look like it's food.

The peaks and mountains are stacked, the springs and waterfalls, the birds and trees are lifelike, and it is a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!

If you look closely, the corner of the sweet cake is actually the palace, and there are many things like villains in the palace...... Take a closer look, "This...... Is this me? ”

"The emperor's eyes are like torches!" Yuan Li smiled.

"Queen, look, this is you!" It was the first time for the emperor to see such a cute villain, and he was surprised and delighted.

"Mother, you ......"

As for the Queen Mother...... The person standing behind him and watching his back from a distance is not the Queen Mother...... For a moment, he remembered the day he ascended the throne, and the Queen Mother seemed to look at him like this, as if to say, in the past, it was the queen mother who sheltered you from the wind and rain, and in the future, you will have to shelter the world from the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, the emperor raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, as if the mother and son had a heart, and the Queen Mother also showed appreciation.

As if to say, Emperor, you have done it, as the queen mother expected, to hold up a piece of heaven for the people of Dawn.

"Queen Mother, what else can you see?" Yuan Li's warm voice sounded in her ears, and the Queen Mother looked at the sweet cake again.

As the queen mother, she has never seen strange things in this world, and it is the first time she has seen such a congratulatory gift.

"This moon ......" The Queen Mother pointed to the full moon in the upper right corner that exuded quiet moonlight, and her heart sank.

If there is any difference between this map of rivers and mountains and the pictures of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains she has seen before, it is that this is a night scene.

In the quiet night, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are sleeping, the moonlight is slightly cool, emitting a faint light, although faint but indispensable.

Because of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it is under this moonlight that I can sleep peacefully, just like the country and the people.

Yuan Lifu saluted, "The reason why Daning is peaceful and peaceful is because Daning has a virtuous and wise emperor like the emperor, and it is the blessing of the people of Daning, and the emperor can do his best for this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and it is inseparable from the blessing of the queen mother." ”

"Long live the emperor, long live the queen mother, long live the thousand years, thousands of years!"

As soon as Yuan Li's words fell, the ministers hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Good! Good! This compliment reached the emperor's heart, and he laughed loudly and then asked, "Yuanli, you said that this is a thing called sweet cake, but it is edible food?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Good! Come, share this with all! ”

The first time I saw that this food could make a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, everyone was already eager to try.

When you eat it, the sweetness that melts in your mouth makes you feel happy.

"Not bad, not bad!" The emperor already likes sweets, and if it weren't for the queen to stop him, he would have liked to eat a big piece again.

Luo Yiyi didn't expect that she wanted Yuanli to fall in front of everyone, but in the end, she pushed her.

In the end, not only did she have a good impression in front of the emperor and the queen mother, but the most important thing was that the emperor was so happy to eat that he actually opened his mouth to seal Yuanli as the lord of Yuehua County, in addition to 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of silk, and 10,000 acres of fertile land.

Luo Yiyi was so angry that she almost crushed her silver teeth.

On the birthday banquet, the staggered plans were staggered, and everyone sang and laughed.

After the birthday banquet is over, the emperor and his courtiers go to the imperial study to talk about things, and as for the female dependents, they go to the imperial garden with the queen, and then go out of the palace and return home after attending the dinner.

"What else are you doing here?"

When everyone went to the imperial garden first, the queen mother was suspicious of being noisy, so she left the eldest princess, as well as Yuanli and Gao Jia, to talk for a while.

Seeing that Yi Xiaohan had not left, the Queen Mother was stunned.

"The retainer escorted the queen mother to the imperial garden." The man's expression was as cold as ever, and he looked very solemn.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Today's palace guards are all arranged by the imperial brother, aren't you still worried about yourself?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said lightly: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, this palace understands today." Li, do you think we need the Regent's escort? ”

Yuanli: "......"

"Okay, let's go what you should be busy with, just have Ah Li and Jia'er accompany the palace for a turn, and fireworks will be prepared in this palace later, I heard that you young girls like to watch it the most." The Queen Mother patted Yuan Li's hand and motioned for Yi Xiaohan to hurry up and get busy.

……

In the imperial garden, a woman sat by the gazebo with a gloomy face, looking at the lively crowd in the distance without saying a word.

"Gao Zhi?"

A familiar voice came from behind her, she was startled, and quickly stood up from her position, it was Luo Yiyi.

"I know what you want to do."

"This time, let's let Yuan Li and Gao Jia fall into disrepute!" Luo Yiyi whispered a few words in her ear, and then she patted Gao Zhi on the shoulder, "Do as I say, you are the only daughter of the General's Mansion." ”

"Locke...... The county lord? ”

Gao Zhi bit her lower lip tightly and looked at Luo Yiyi in surprise.

"How do you ......"

"Your father is the second master of the Gao family, just because of the pressure of General Gao, he has no way to rise, and can only be a petty official." Luo Yiyi stared at Gao Zhi's eyes, she seemed to see through Gao Zhi, and whispered in her ear, the tone was like a fox coaxing a poisonous fruit to eat the little white rabbit.

"It's also the daughter of Gaofu, but the world only knows that this Gaofu daughter is Gao Jia, don't say that this reputation is the best marriage, who doesn't follow Gao Jia first to talk about the matchmaker?"

"Do you think, if Gao Jia's reputation is ruined, then General Gao, can he still value her? If you don't leave the house, it's Gao Jia's luck! At that time, as the second daughter of the Gao family, you will definitely be recognized by General Gao as the big house, and you will be the next person to crown the capital! ”

Before coming to the birthday banquet today, my mother had said something similar to herself, Gao Zhi held her hand tightly, and pinched her nails into her palm, and she didn't feel it.

The mother said that she should find an opportunity to drug Gao Jia's sister.

Once she is ugly, then her marriage will be ......

Luo Yiyi's voice still lingered in her ears, "Do you think, that Gao Jia has climbed up to Yuanli again, Yuanli is the regent princess of the imperial gift, if you miss the opportunity, wait until Gao Jia's marriage is finalized again, do you think you still have a chance?" ”

"I heard that the royal family intends to elect Gao Jia as the princess, if Gao Jia makes a fool of himself in this palace, and the royal family wants to encircle General Gao and hold the power into their own hands, who do you think the candidate for the princess will fall on?"

"Gao Zhi, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves."

Luo Yiyi pointed to the scene not far away, where Yuan Li and Gao Jia were accompanying the Queen Mother and the eldest princess to talk happily.

coupled with the last sentence, Gao Zhi completely made up her mind.

Yes, if there is no Gao Jia, the person who will accompany the Queen Mother at this time will be her!

"You don't have to do anything, you just need to ...... later" Luo Yiyi explained again, the person she wanted to target was not Gao Jia, but she needed a scapegoat.

Gao Jia, she just looked at her unpleasantly.

At the same time, she also needs a scapegoat.

Whether it is Gao Jia or Gao Zhi, for her, they are the best scapegoats to kill Yuanli.

……

"Ah, the Lord of Yuehua County spares his life! The slave didn't mean it! ”

Yuan Li and Gao Jia accompanied the Queen Mother to drink tea in the pavilion, and when the maid of the palace stepped forward to pour tea, she accidentally knocked over the tea bowl and splashed all the tea on Yuan Li.

"It doesn't matter."

Yuan Li happened to be telling the story of Dream of Red Mansions to the Queen Mother, and seeing that the Queen Mother was fascinated by it, this sudden episode was not taken into account by everyone.

"Mingyue, take Ah Li to change her clothes."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Although there is not much tea, the tea stains are still left on the skirt, no matter how much the Queen Mother wants to hear the story, she will not let Yuanli suffer criticism because of this.

After thanking the Queen Mother, Yuan Li went to the side hall with Mingyue.

"Lord Yuehua, you sit here for a while, and the slave will go to the Internal Affairs Office to help you get new clothes."

Brought Yuan Li into the side hall, Mingyue explained a few words before closing the door and leaving.

There was a "squeak", and not long after she sat down, she heard the sound of the side hall door being pushed open.

"So fast?" Yuan Li thought that Mingyue was back, but when she turned her head, she saw that it was ......
