The officials and the ministers were tried to find seven meat and eight vegetarians, and there has been no result so far.

And Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.

At this year's Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, due to the confusion of the officials and the death of Zhou Shoufu, Su Youyi seemed not in the mood, and Yuan Zhi also ordered to handle it from Jian.

When the sky is slightly dark, the red lanterns are lit high, and they converge into a red and winding dragon, and then there is some joy for the New Year.

Su Youyi raised her hands in the dormitory of Kunning Palace, and asked Chunhua and the others to put on a heavy and gorgeous dress for her, but her own eyes were cast on the hazy light and shadow outside the hall.

After putting on the inner shirt and outer shirt, Chunhua squatted down and smoothed her long golden skirt, and the delicate phoenix peony embroidered on it took dozens of embroiderers three months.

Su Youyi didn't care, her face was distracted.

Chunhua stood up and looked in the mirror, "Queen Mother, look, this body is so beautiful." ”

Su Youyi casually glanced into the mirror, "On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, the first emperor was silent, and he died alone on the Star Picking Tower. At that time, the palace banquet was not over, everyone panicked, and the red, green, and green figures shook in panic. ”

Suddenly mentioned this, Chunhua Chunjing and others didn't dare to respond casually.

After a while, Chunhua said: "The New Year is a happy thing, so don't think about it anymore." It's time for us to go out, I'm afraid the ministers of the DPRK and China have arrived. ”

Su Youyi didn't know what she thought, frowned, and quickly helped her back up, "Let's go." ”

……

The night was slightly dark, and the four palace maids walked in front of them carrying lamps, and hugged the ground towards the Qianqing Palace.

Su Youyi and Yuan Zhi entered the hall together, and they already smelled the warm aroma of wine in the hall.

The ministers stood up and saluted, "Please be safe for the Queen Mother, please be safe for the emperor." ”

In addition to the ministers, there were also many nobles and concubines who arrived early and sat near the top.

Su Youyi and Yuan Zhi sat side by side at the top, looking at the people below, "Flat." ”

The crowd sat down again.

"At this year's palace banquet, there seem to be fewer people."

Su Youyi sat down, and then smiled at the bottom, "Ministry of Shangshu, did you say it?" ”

One sentence made the atmosphere of the banquet immediately tense.

The official Shangshu hurriedly stood up, not knowing how to reply.

The officials were only involved in a few Langzhong, and most of these people had no chance to come to the palace banquet in the first place, how could there be fewer people?

He knew in his heart that this was Su Youyi's use of the topic to play.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said busily: "Yes, what the Queen Mother said is true." The confusion of the officials is due to the fact that the minister, the acting secretary, has not fulfilled his duties. The minister is in his position, and he has no face to enter the palace today to enjoy the wine and food given by the queen mother and the emperor, and the minister is guilty! ”

His attitude of confessing his sins is not bad.

Su Youyi smiled and looked at Yuan Zhi, "Your Majesty, listen, he is quick to take the blame." You say, so many magistrates' political achievements have been secretly improved, isn't it his hands? ”

Before Yuan Zhi could answer, the official Shangshu had already knelt down, "The queen mother, the emperor, the minister is wronged!" The minister is indeed guilty of lax supervision, but it is by no means the minister's hands and feet! ”

"Queen Mother, he said it wasn't his hands and feet."

Motoji picked up his glass and took a sip.

This made the hearts of the ministers under him tremble.

Since the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve every year, the emperor's first cup of wine has to be toasted to all officials, how can anyone drink it himself?

It can be seen that today's palace banquet is a Hongmen banquet......

Yuanzhi put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's not his hands and feet, who are the hands and feet?" ”

The mystery is all in this sentence.

The ministers looked at each other.

Some people know it, some people don't.

Su Qing, who was sitting among the ministers close to the top, had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

Zhou Shoufu had just died, and the court was unstable, and at this time he urgently needed the old minister to sit in the court, and he expected that Su Youyi would not attack him at this time.

What's more, she may not be able to find out.

Su Qing held on to this fluke, and quietly looked at Su Youyi who was on the head, just in front of Su Youyi's gaze.

He was startled, but fortunately he reacted quickly, pretending to talk to the adults next to him as if nothing happened, "The charcoal fire in my position is too hot, it's a little hot, where are you?" ”

"Huh? I'm okay, I'm okay. ”

Su Qing smiled and nodded, then turned his head back, only looking at the wine glass on his desk.

Su Youyi bit her lip slightly.

The old fox pretended to be nothing, was she sure that she couldn't get anything out of those mouths, or was she sure that she didn't dare to attack him even if she had evidence?

This kind of family affection made Su Youyi angry like never before.

She had to suppress it.

There was silence for a long time, and everyone looked at her openly and secretly.

It's not an option.

Su Youyi picked up the wine glass and raised it to the bottom, "That's it, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the DPRK and China have already sealed the dynasty, what else are you talking about here?" Let's talk about everything when we open the dynasty, I salute you with a glass of wine, and I wish the coming year a smooth wind, peace and security, and peace and security! ”

Fireworks burst into the sky, making a whooshing sound, and the atmosphere suddenly broke the ice.

All the ministers stood up and raised their wine glasses in unison, "Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor Xie!" ”

……

A palace banquet has its own agenda, and it is tasteless.

Fortunately, there are still those young ladies who are ignorant and don't know about the affairs of the court, Su Youyi only called them to talk, and most of these ladies are the concubines who have been decided last time.

She called Miss Zhou to her and rewarded her with a gold bead to shake, "Although you are in the filial piety period, you can't wear this, but this is a little bit of the mourning family's heart, you should understand." ”

Miss Zhou held the precious step shake in both hands, since the day Zhou Shoufu died of illness, the Queen Mother and the emperor arrived at the Zhou Mansion together, she understood the Queen Mother's intentions.

"The courtiers understand, thank you Queen Mother."

Originally, I heard that the Queen Mother said in the Zhou Mansion that Miss Zhou was the person who was the future queen, and now I was even more sure.

Su Youyi is not only appeasing the future queen, but also showing the courtiers, letting everyone know how much she values Miss Zhou.

Suddenly, Zhou Shoufu's dying words unconsciously surfaced in everyone's minds.

Su Qing was eating, and suddenly felt that a lot of eyes around him were focused on him, and he knew in his heart that Miss Zhou was here, and the courtiers would always think of Zhou Shoufu's dying words.

If Miss Zhou really becomes the queen and appears in the Chaozhong Palace every day, wouldn't his Su Qing's reputation be completely hopeless?

He didn't look up, pretended not to see everyone's eyes, and took a sip from his glass.

But the gloomy color on his face can't be hidden, and he can only rely on a wine glass to cover it slightly.

Su Youyi's gaze looked down through Miss Zhou's shoulder, and saw Su Qing's expression clearly in her eyes......
