Chapter 166: Braised Chicken with Abalone

With a heavy snowfall, Chinese New Year's Eve quietly arrived.

Weiyang Palace.

Jiang Qingying stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the goose feathers and heavy snow outside, stunned.

After this year, I will be nineteen years old.

A nineteen-year-old emperor who doesn't know when he will be able to govern himself.

Shangguan Xuan appeared behind her.

"Your Majesty, Liang Guo has sent more than a dozen Western Regions wines and more than a dozen Western Regions women."

Scold!

Jiang Qingying snorted coldly and exhaled a white breath.

"Xiao Liangzuo is really capable, I occupied so many cities for him at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, the current Liang country is larger than before. ”

On the side, Shangguan uproared and analyzed.

"Although the Liang State conquered various tribes in the Western Regions to the west, there were already many disputes between these tribes.

Xiao Liangzuo's control over the Western Regions may not be as firm as it seems. ”

"Has there been any change in Northern Qi recently?"

"Not at the moment, but according to the news from the secret agents, the new emperor of Northern Qi has been paying attention to military affairs."

"Yelucan's situation is very similar to mine, but he is doing better than me."

Hearing this, Shangguan immediately said respectfully.

"Your Majesty has implemented a new policy for the benefit of the people, which is far beyond Yelucan."

Regarding Shangguan Xuan's compliment, Jiang Qingying continued to talk to herself as if she hadn't heard it.

"As soon as he ascended the throne, he executed Yelu Yizheng, and this courage was beyond my reach.

After ascending the throne, he did not immediately suppress his former political enemies, and let Xiao Tzuli and Xiao Zongren continue to fight.

This imperial checks and balances are beyond my reach. ”

Shangguan bowed his head in a hurry, not daring to answer the words.

She also knew in her heart that the situation of Yelucan and His Majesty was indeed very similar.

It is also a brotherly rivalry, but after the second prince ascended the throne, he was not soft on the eldest prince at all.

Although the eldest prince died violently, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just Yelucan's attempt to block the mouths of the people of the world and avoid being accused of killing his brother.

Correspondingly, the empress let King Qin go to the fiefdom.

Of course, this mistake has now been corrected.

As for the art of checks and balances, the bystander is clear, and she can see that His Majesty is not good at the emperor's mental technique.

Moreover, when the empress ascended the throne, she was much younger than Yelucan, and she trusted Li Yunsheng so much.

Therefore, it has led to the current situation of Da Chu.

Jiang Qingying shook his head lightly, suppressing his depressed mood again.

"How is Jiang Ying?"

"Since I was frightened in the Li Mansion, the Imperial Doctor has been to see him several times, but he has not been well."

Jiang Qingying fell silent, and King Qin was frightened crazy.

She didn't know if the result was good or bad for her.

"Is there really a ghost in Li Yunsheng's mansion?"

"I don't know this minister, but it is said that Princess Haoyue has also seen female ghosts."

Hearing the name Haoyue, Jiang Qingying's brows furrowed unconsciously.

"There's a ghost, and she still lives there?"

"Yes, I heard that I often go to the Li Mansion as a guest."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingying didn't want to hear it anymore.

At the end of the year, there was no good news for her.

"As for the wine sent by Liang Guo, I want to drink it."

Shangguan bowed in a loud manner.

"Your Majesty, I'll go get it later."

A moment later.

The empress had an extra jade cup in her hand, and the cup was a red liquid.

She looked at the strange color of the Western Regions wine, and sniffed it close to the tip of her nose.

It also has a wine aroma, but it has a fruity taste.

Jiang Qingying raised the cup to her lips and took a sip gently.

The bitterness and bitterness in her mouth instantly made her frown.

Just as she was about to hand the wine back in her hand, the glass stopped in mid-air.

After a slight acidity, there is a mellow aroma with a long aftertaste.

"This wine is not bad."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take another sip.

"Give Li Yunsheng two barrels of this wine."

Just when Shangguan was about to respond, the empress changed her words again.

"Forget it, if you go to the Li Mansion to deliver the decree, you will say that the Liang Kingdom paid tribute to the wine of the Western Regions, and let him enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve to drink with Yuan."

"Yes."

In this regard, Shangguan Xuanran is used to it.

The female emperor has summoned Li Yunsheng to the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve for two consecutive years, but this year they will have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Finally, this year, King Qin is in Beijing, and the empress can be regarded as having a family member to accompany her for the New Year.

But looking at the current situation of King Qin, there is no way to enter the palace.

Just as Shangguan turned around, Jiang Qingying said another word.

"In the evening, let the imperial dining room make an extra dish of abalone stewed chicken, he loves to eat this dish."

"Write it down."

"Also, sweet potatoes are also his favorite food."

"Yes."

Just as Shangguan was standing in place waiting for the empress to continue adding vegetables, Jiang Qingying waved his hand.

"Go ahead."

After Shangguan left in an uproar, Jiang Qingying shook the wine glass in his hand and muttered.

"This wine doesn't seem to be easy to get drunk when you drink it."

……

Lee House.

Under the corridor, Li Yunsheng leaned against the pillar and looked at Wei Xiang and Xiao Taro in the courtyard.

Two people were busy building a large snowball in the yard, and it was oversized.

Luckily, the yard was big enough, otherwise there wouldn't have been that much snow for two people to pile up.

"How big are you two going to snowball?"

Xiao Taro used his strength to eat milk and pushed forward with Wei Xiang.

"We're going to make a big snowman!"

The snow has not stopped, and in Li Yunsheng's opinion, there are already two snowmen in the yard.

Just after the snowman's body was rolled, Princess Haoyue walked into the courtyard with a food box.

Seeing that Li Yunsheng was also there, Haoyue first saluted from afar, and then went straight to Xiao Taro.

"Little taro."

"Sister Haoyue."

The little taro said hello, but he didn't listen to the movements in his hands at all.

Haoyue lifted the food box in her hand.

"I brought your favorite Zhang Kee pastry."

"Okay, I'll finish building this snowman with my big sister first."

However, the gluttonous Wei Xiang stared at the food box.

"Push it after eating."

One big and one small, quickly agreed.

Xiao Taro rubbed his hands on his clothes, and then opened the food box in Haoyue's hand.

Congzai took out a piece of pastry, raised his hand and handed it to Li Yunsheng.

"Childe, this is your favorite jujube flower cake."

After Li Yunsheng took it, the three of them turned around and left together, and went to Xiao Taro's house.

During this period, Haoyue just said hello to him and didn't say a word more.

These three people are familiar with each other like this, and at the beginning, Li Yunsheng was unexpected.

At the beginning, Jiang Ying moved out of the Li Mansion the next day when she was frightened by the little taro, and she was frightened crazy because of excessive panic.

Of course, he knew it was feigning madness.

But after Haoyue was scared once, she didn't have the slightest intention of moving.

The next day, when Wei Xiang and Xiao Taro went again, Haoyue didn't even close the door, so she obediently lay on the bed and waited for the two of them.

In this regard, Li Yunsheng was puzzled.

After three times and twice, even though Wei Xiang and Xiao Taro were wearing masks all the time, Haoyue still guessed it.

Therefore, on the fourth day, Haoyue came directly to the door and begged Xiao Taro to let her enter the illusion.

He had seen Haoyue enter the state of illusion with his own eyes, and he was indeed afraid, but there was also excitement and satisfaction.

Although he didn't know why, Li Yunsheng knew that Haoyue was already addicted to this kind of fear.

And Haoyue knew that she was not likable to him, so she changed her previous style, and every time she came, she just flattered Xiao Taro and Wei Xiang.

Although his plan to drive Haoyue back to Liang failed, his goal was also achieved.

Through his natural skills, he could see that Haoyue had no other thoughts, so he let the relationship between the three of them get closer and closer.

As soon as the three of them left, Liu Quan walked into the courtyard with Shangguan Xuanran.

"Xiangye, Shangguan's inner servant has come to deliver the decree."

Li Yunsheng looked at Shangguan uproar, in the past, he had eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to pass him into the palace, why was it so early this year.

"Li Xiang."

Shangguan Yuran first saluted, and then straightened up and spoke.

"The Kingdom of Liang paid tribute to the wine of the Western Regions, and His Majesty invited Li Xiang to enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve to drink together."

Li Yunsheng: Are you going to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together this year?
