This villain's style is crooked

At unitary time, the red sun sinks to the west.

The Taixing Hall of the imperial palace is brightly lit, and the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music can be heard endlessly.

A group of ministers have already taken their seats with their families.

Chu Yixiao was in a high position, and Jiang Lianxue was dressed up on the low chair behind her right side.

On the left side of him, the vacant seat parallel to the ebony table is reserved for the present empress dowager.

"The Empress arrives—"

When a high-pitched song came, everyone immediately stood up and bowed their heads in salute, and Chu Yixiao stepped down from the high platform to wait.

Compared to other people's curiosity and humility, both Jiang Lianxue and Jiang Taiwei showed reluctance.

Only Ming Yan, who was sitting in the first position on the left side of the hall, did not need to salute, and sipped the tea indifferently, but unconsciously glanced at the door from the corner of his eyes.

In the past few days, he deliberately avoided contact with the queen mother.

Even when delivering medicine, he didn't speak much.

It seems that the heart has calmed down a lot.

A skirt that looked like a brilliant glow suddenly broke into Ming Yan's field of vision.

The girl was dressed in vermilion, with a phoenix hairpin holding a pearl in her mouth slantingly inserted between her temples, making her pretty face look like a delicate peach blossom.

Lu Cha looked over the crowd and landed on Ming Yan, with a sweet smile on his lips.

next moment.

Ming Yan turned his head as if turning a blind eye.

Deer Tea: "?"

what?

Am I not smiling enough?

"Mother's mother is blessed and safe." Chu Yixiao saluted meekly.

Lu Cha nodded lightly, supported by Jin Yu, and walked towards the high platform.

Chu Yixiao followed closely and took a seat: "Today is my beloved concubine's birthday dinner, everyone, treat it as if you are at your own home, so don't be cautious."

After everyone got up to thank each other, they began to greet each other.

The location of Ming Yan was a few steps away from the high platform, and Lu Cha couldn't communicate with the other party. When he was studying how to change to the lower seat, he suddenly heard a delicate voice.

"Your Majesty, my concubine will feed you a drink."

Jiang Lianxue deliberately took Chu Yixiao's arm, fed him the wine in the glass affectionately, and then looked at Lu Cha proudly.

The former sweetheart, but now all eyes are on her, Jiang Lucha will definitely be pissed off!

However, Lucha just looked away in disgust.

That's it?

Don't even kiss one?

oh~

Seeing that Lu Cha turned her head uninterestedly, as if she looked down on her own inferior methods, Jiang Lianxue's face was slightly distorted.

Although her face has recovered most of it with the best medicine, she still needs thick powder to cover the remaining palm marks.

Once the expression is ferocious, it is like a fierce ghost demanding life, terrifying and frightening, without any sense of beauty at all.

Thinking that Lu Cha was about to hand over the phoenix seal to herself, Jiang Lianxue swallowed her breath.

She will endure this bitch for a while longer!

After all, her concubine is the highest.

If you don't give ginger deer tea to her, who else can you give it to?

And Chu Yixiao naturally knew that Jiang Lianxue's actions just now were to anger Lu Cha, she was contemptuous in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to dote on her:

"Aifei, this is your favorite almond soup."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Lianxue shyly took the porcelain bowl Chu Yixiao handed over.

Everything on the high platform can be seen by the officials below.

Two ministers gathered together and whispered:

"This Concubine Jiang, why does she seem to show her affection for the emperor on purpose, as if she is angry with the queen mother?"

The elder minister stroked his beard and said in a low voice, "Of course it's because the Empress Dowager liked the Emperor before she entered the palace."

Ming Yan, who was not far from the two, tightened his fingertips on the edge of the teacup slightly.

The young officials couldn't believe it: "Then the first emperor, isn't he the woman who robbed his son?"

"That's not the case." The elder minister replied: "The emperor has never been with the empress dowager before, it's because the empress dowager unilaterally likes the emperor."

"Speaking of which, the queen mother is quite pitiful."

"My mother died early. The person I liked didn't love her. Instead, she made her elder sister a concubine. The first emperor passed away as soon as she entered the palace. I don't think she feels comfortable being a queen mother."

"Come in from the queen mother, Jiang Taiwei has no good face."

&n/>Young officials didn't take it seriously: "Now that the power in the court is in the hands of the Jiang family, what trouble can the Queen Mother have?"

"According to the law of the Great Chu, when discussing the rights and wrongs of the royal family, you should be beaten thirty times with a stick."

Ming Yan's sudden words made the two officials shut up instantly.

He rubbed the bamboo pattern engraved on the teacup, his eyes were deep and cold.

It turned out that the empress dowager and the emperor still had this past.

But at this moment, a drunk veteran staggered to Ming Yan, with an arrogant attitude:

"It is rumored that the divination of the Ming family can calculate when a person will die. This old man is sixty years old, so why don't you do the math for this old man?" [1] [6] [6] [small] [say]

Ding dong—a few copper plates were thrown on Ming Yan's table, making a crisp sound.

The old minister mocked with a smile: "These are the rewards that the old man gave to the national teacher."

"If you don't know it, I will reward you."

Every time there is a banquet, there will be officials and ministers who will humiliate the national teacher, and vent all the grievances they have received on weekdays to the other party.

It's just because the Ming family is in decline and has no power or influence.

It was Ming's father who was humiliated in the past, and now Ming Yan is serving as the national teacher, these people are targeting him.

Ming Yan raised his hand and picked up the jade pot to pour tea, and the long sleeves hanging down swept the copper coins to the ground without any waves:

"I'm not dead."

"What do you mean?!" The old minister was about to get angry, but was suddenly pushed to the ground by two eunuchs:

"What are you doing?! Don't you know who this old man is?!"

"Old man, but..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light fell.

Boom-!

The head of the old minister who was shouting just now fell to the ground.

The blood instantly stained the originally bright yellow tiles.
