The emperor was about to hold a spring banquet, and the entire harem became busy. Especially the purpose of this spring banquet was to choose relatives for the prince, and the queen's palm was needed to invite the noble daughters of the clan.And some time ago, the Empress Dowager who worshiped Buddha at Yuming Mountain returned to the palace due to illness. I heard that her condition has improved, and this spring banquet will also be attended, so it will be more lively. The defense of all parties needs to be strictly strengthened, so Han Ning went to the Imperial Academy, On the way in and out of his medicine pavilion, you can always see palace people coming and going in a hurry.
On the day of the Spring Banquet, the weather was beautiful, the weather was clear and cloudless, and it was a slightly cool early spring, which was very refreshing.This year's auspicious snow means a good year, and everyone's face is full of joy. Except for the banquet of the spring banquet party that everyone knows, although it is not shown on the face today, some enthusiastic and bold women also took the initiative to come forward. Chat with it.It's a pity that the banquet ceremony was more than polite, but not enthusiastic enough. Everyone could see that he didn't have that kind of heart, which made many women very frustrated.
Like every major festival and occasion in the past, the Emperor of Banquet led Han Ning to the finale at the end. Han Ning, who was already at the height of Yanhuang's waist, showed royal calmness while walking, and the nobility of his brows and eyes was even more noble than that of the crown prince. Be extravagant.
The queen sitting on the seat watched with a smile in her eyes, but the fingertips of the hands hidden in the wide sleeves turned white.The one who enters and exits at the same time should be the emperor and empress, and the one who is so cherished and valued should be the prince.In the past, Han Ning was still under their control and could be coaxed easily, but after the prince acted impulsively again and again, this advantage was also pushed away by him.A person who cannot be used by himself is really a thorn in the flesh.
The empress looked at the prince with feelings, but it was a pity that the prince was still too young, he was granted the title at the age of six, and his journey went smoothly. She cleared away all the obstacles in the way, leaving only the second prince to sharpen his knife.But even so, the prince's growth is still somewhat disappointing. On such an occasion, he didn't know how to hide himself, and the jealous eyes seemed to have substance.Fortunately, the eyes of the courtiers were attracted by the two who came hand in hand, and they did not notice the prince. The queen hurriedly signaled to the maids beside her to look one or two in size.
Han Ningchun is already seven years old. According to the virtual age ceremony at this time, that is equivalent to nine years old. It is said that he should not be treated with childish eyes. Naturally, he can no longer be hugged by the Banquet Emperor and sit on the dragon chair like when he was a child. .Just as he was about to walk to his seat, he was held back by Yan Huang. Han Ning subconsciously raised his head to look at Yan Huang, but Yan Huang smiled at him, bent down and hugged him directly, just like when the two were in private, directly Put it on your own lap, and sat on the dragon chair.
"Today's spring banquet is a family banquet, so you don't have to stick to etiquette."
All the courtiers responded quickly, followed the dancer girl to enter the arena, breaking the silence of the emperor's arrival, the servants waiting at the side hurriedly served meals and fruits, and the courtiers below were exchanging cups and chatting, the atmosphere was quite hot for a while network.
The emperor casually took a piece of melon from the plate and fed it to Han Ning's mouth. Han Ning had long been used to this kind of occasion, so he ate it freely. He raised his head and met his eyes, and gave him a smirk, then looked away helplessly, after observing for so long, he really didn't see any emperor appearance in this guy.
The empress dowager sitting on the left hand of the emperor did not look at the emperor while she was drinking the soup, but said in a low voice: "Emperor, King Ning is getting old too, if some things are not reasonable, it will not be beneficial to King Ning himself. "
Han Ning stopped eating melons and glanced at the emperor.He didn't have much contact with the queen mother. Ever since he entered the palace, the emperor of banquets seemed to have intentionally kept him from contacting the queen mother. Before the queen mother was still living in the palace, the prince and prince would go to greet him every once in a while, but the emperor of banquets directly avoided it. His regards.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager never pretended to talk to him, and her serious face also made him uncomfortable.Coupled with the contrast between the princes and princes who are extremely kind and gentle, and the coldness of the princes when they come to him, Han Ning is even more unhappy.Since he can remember, he has been sought after by everyone. When has he been treated so differently, so for this empress dowager, he can not contact him if he can.But according to the previous life, the Queen Mother doesn't have much time left, thinking of Han Ning, it's rare to feel a tinge of pity, why bother with an old man whose time is numbered, let's eat his melons.
Han Ning didn't care about it, but the emperor couldn't bear it. When he heard this, he looked back blankly: "Then what does the Queen Mother think is reasonable and beneficial?"
As soon as the queen mother opened her mouth to speak, the emperor continued to say coldly: "The whole world belongs to me, if you even care about liking someone, then what kind of master should I be, what does the queen mother think? "
With a local sound, the spoon and jade bowl in the Empress Dowager's hands made a crisp sound, and Han Ning sat on the Banquet Emperor without daring to breathe. Is this the rhythm of the fight?Although I knew that the relationship between the emperor's uncle and the queen mother was not very good, but it was the first time in two lifetimes to face him in front of him.
Noticing Han Ning's slightly stiff body and the stopped movement of eating melons, the Banquet Emperor stroked his back twice, and put the melons in his hands into his mouth: "What does Ning'er want to eat?" , Uncle Huang asked someone to bring it to you."
Han Ning shook his head.
The Empress Dowager looked at Han Ning gravely, her wrinkled face and cloudy eyes revealed extreme hatred.Han Ning's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the unspeakable things that the emperor's uncle had said to his father, he suddenly understood the empress dowager's dislike for him.
However, it was precisely because of this look at the queen mother that Han Ning discovered the problem. The queen mother's fingertips were slightly blue, her lips were dark red, and she exuded an air of twilight that even fragrance powder couldn't cover up. How like poisoning.
The empress dowager was slammed by the emperor, her lips moved slightly to say something, but was gently pressed down by the old lady behind her, and then she turned her head to watch the performance without saying a word.
Han Ning pulled the emperor, and whispered what he had just seen in his ear. Although he didn't like the queen mother, she was the emperor's uncle's mother, so he should remind him.
But I didn't want Yan Huang to pinch his face lightly: "Is this the last time you have a shadow, older people have these signs, eat your melons well."
Han Ning thought that the imperial doctor in the palace would ask for a Ping An pulse at least once every three days, and if there was really any problem, he would have discovered it earlier, so he turned around and forgot about it.The Banquet Emperor looked at Han Ning eating happily, with a smile on his mouth, but his eyes sank.
The ultimate goal of this spring banquet is to choose concubines for the banquet, and the most suitable candidates for those noble daughters in the imperial capital should be the eldest daughter of An Guogong, Jiang Congling, the eldest daughter of An Guogong, is a well-known talented woman in the imperial capital , and because her uncle's family has been in the army for generations, she has also learned martial arts since she was a child. More importantly, her beauty is far superior to her talent. I found a good husband, and I didn't want to wrong my daughter, so I stayed at home. After the double tenth, compared with those young girls, I have a more touching charm.
After Jiang Congling finished the whip dance, he looked directly at the banquet in a graceful manner: "Prince Li, I wonder if you like this whip dance?"
The banquet frowned slightly, and then showed a polite smile: "Miss Jiang learned from General Yuan, and the martial arts she has learned are naturally extraordinary."
He didn't say whether he likes or dislikes, but cleverly avoided the topic. Jiang Congling was proud of himself and never liked to force anything. It was obvious that the prince had no intentions for her. Just as he was about to back away, the queen said, "Your Majesty, you Look at these two standing together, they are so talented and beautiful, in this world, I am afraid that only Miss Jiang is worthy of being Prince Li."
Before the banquet was opened, Jiang Congling said, "Your Majesty, Empress, although the matter of marriage is the order of the elders and the words of the matchmaker, Congling wants to ask His Majesty and the Empress for a favor."
The Banquet Emperor smiled: "Talk about it."
Jiang Congling said: "The person I like should also fall in love with me."
These words almost cut off the possibility of random finger marriage. Although the Duke is only a title in name only, but as the eldest daughter of the Duke, she can ask for this kind of grace.
As Jiang Congling finished speaking, many noble ladies looked at her. Facing His Majesty, there were not many of them who had the courage to do so.If it were them, it would be a great grace to be accused of marrying the prince.
The Banquet Emperor smiled and said: "You little girl, you are really as bold as ever, since you have something to ask, I will grant it to you."
Just as Jiang Congling knelt down to thank him, a palace official walked over quickly and whispered something to the eunuch next to the emperor, and the eunuch relayed the story to the emperor.
His Majesty, who was still full of kindness just now, instantly darkened, and all the courtiers were shocked, and they didn't know what happened.Even Jiang Congling knelt away cleverly, avoiding appearing in the emperor's sight, so as not to get into trouble.
Yanhuang's long eyes looked at the banquet seriously: "It is reported that Siguan Mountain was plagued by locusts in October last year. This winter will be long and the soil will not melt. You have not reported the disaster to the court, and you have not asked for help and relief. The delusion is based on your own strength. Suppression, deception from top to bottom, you know that those victims who are starved of food have been raped, gathered and rushed into villages and towns a month ago, burned, killed and looted, causing hundreds of casualties!"
The banquet hurriedly knelt down: "Brother Rongchen, please report in detail! It was true that there was a plague of locusts in October last year, but the disaster was not serious. It only damaged more than a thousand acres of land. The surplus food in the palace is enough to relieve the disaster, so there is no need to alarm the court to trouble the emperor." Disappointing! My younger brother was called into the imperial city, but he didn’t expect this winter before he set off, and he failed to eliminate the hidden dangers of the mob. This younger brother was indeed negligent, please punish him.”
The Emperor of Banquet sneered: "You imply that I shouldn't have called you to Beijing?"
The banquet was shocked: "My brother has absolutely no such intention!"
The Banquet Emperor waved his hand: "You have no unknown ability for this natural disaster, and you really can't blame it, but this mob riot has to be dealt with, Jinsui."
Being called by the emperor, Jin Sui, who was accompanying the eldest princess's wife, hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty!"
The Emperor Banquet said: "I order you to go to Siguan Mountain with [-] elite soldiers to suppress the mob, and set off immediately, there must be no mistakes!"
Jin Sui quickly took orders. Although [-] elite soldiers were not too many, they were indeed in a hurry to set off immediately, so they immediately went down to recruit troops after resigning.
Banyan's gaze was slightly lowered, but he could only let it go.
After all, the Empress has been the mother of the world for many years, and she has been with the Banquet Emperor for so long. She couldn't guess ten times ten, but she also guessed one out of ten, so she said at the right time: "Prince Li really didn't want this natural disaster. General Jin is here, and mobs can't make a difference, so your majesty can be relieved, this early spring is a good time, don't be disturbed by such troublesome things."
The Emperor of Banquet nodded: "Indeed, although this year's winter is long, the sowing is considered timely. When the harvest is harvested in autumn, there will be a lot of fruit." After the Emperor of Banquet finished speaking, he said: "Where did you just say?"
The queen quickly said: "Speaking of the crown jewel of the principality, I beg you for a favor."
The Emperor Banquet said: "Since the grace has been requested, I don't know who the daughter of An Guogong belongs to? If it is a concubine's love, I will give it to you."
Jiang Congling subconsciously glanced at the banquet, but quickly looked away. She knew that she was not in the banquet's heart, so she would not embarrass herself in public. Just as she was about to refuse, the queen said: "Your Majesty, my concubine! It was also said just now that Miss Jiang and Prince Li are good-looking men and women, but Prince Li hasn't expressed that yet."
Yan Huang looked at Yan Li: "What does Prince Li think about this?"
The banquet slightly lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang is virtuous and virtuous, with both talents and sentiments, which is very good."
Yan Huang said: "If it matches you, do you like it?"
Hearing the words of the banquet, he pursed his lips and smiled, and looked up at Jiang Congling: "I like it."
Jiang Cong's eyes shone slightly, and a touch of shame crept up his cheeks.
Ji You twirled the wine glass in his hand, laughed playfully, lived a new life, and indeed saw many things more clearly.
Han Ning was playing with the jade belt on Emperor Yan's body, thinking about Jiang Congling's notoriety in the previous life. This woman's personality is a bit extreme, but this extreme is extreme in the current environment. I supported him all the way to become a fourth-rank petty official. A few years ago, he was still a good one. Later, An Guogong made a mistake and was deprived of his title. The fourth-rank petty official felt that he had been suppressed by his wife and family for many years. In a concubine's room, it is normal for a man to take a concubine, but on the second day after entering the concubine's room, they were all strangled to death by Jiang Congling and hung in front of her husband's room. In the end, Jiang Congling cut off his life with a whip. This incident was too shocking. At that time, there was a lot of trouble in the imperial capital. Even he, who didn't care much about things outside the window, heard about it, and he was considered a strange woman. up.
It is said that the banquet for a couple for a lifetime will eventually be given a marriage, or Jiang Congling, who is well-known in the imperial capital. The Banquet Emperor also bestowed Jiang Congling with the title of Sovereign, and it is a good story to enjoy the city and be with the Prince of Li.
In Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was finishing her tonic under the service of everyone, when all the servants in the palace suddenly knelt down on the ground, the Empress Dowager looked up and found that the emperor had not sent any communication.The Queen Mother sneered: "What kind of wind is it today that His Majesty came to Yongshou Palace?"
The Banquet Emperor waved away the crowd and sat opposite the Empress Dowager: "I have come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
The queen mother snorted again: "Please greet? You have been in power for many years, why have you ever come to greet you?"
The Banquet Emperor chuckled: "If you don't come to pay your respects, how will you know if the Empress Dowager is okay?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor Yan with sharp eyes, her eyes full of scrutiny.
The Emperor Yan said: "It would be great if you could stay at Yuming Mountain and worship the Buddha with peace of mind."
The queen mother sneered: "Then let you act recklessly in the palace and spoil that traitor's son who charmed your lord?!"
The Banquet Emperor smiled instead of anger: "A traitor, if Han Xiao is a traitor, what is your Zhong family? Loyal to the emperor and patriotic? Originally, I wanted to fulfill the love between mother and child for many years, so I will give you a happy one. Since you don't want it, That’s all there.”
The queen mother's heart sank: "What do you mean? Could it be that you want to kill your mother? If you really become the emperor, no one in this world can do anything to you?"
The emperor said: "Emperor, when your parents and son died in a palace fight, only I, a poor prince who lost his mother and concubine, could be manipulated by you. You colluded with powerful ministers to seek the throne, and I have been under the control of you behind the curtain for many years since I ascended the throne." , Unfortunately, you are old, and I am still young."
The power has been evaded all these years, and the queen mother couldn't help being shocked when she heard this: "What do you mean?!"
Yan Huang smiled: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will let you watch how your Zhong family was uprooted bit by bit, I want the entire Zhong family to pay for what happened back then!"
The queen mother slammed the table: "How dare you!"
Yan Huang looked at the empty soup bowl with a smile: "How does the blood swallow taste?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the Banquet Emperor in shock: "You, you actually poisoned me?"
The Emperor of Banquet laughed directly: "I said that I will not kill you, so you have to watch carefully and watch how I will repeat what happened back then, but this time, it will be your Zhong family who will enter the game. Your Zhong family will bear the infamy forever, because of the love between the queen mother and me, mother and child!"
The Empress Dowager wanted to say something, but there seemed to be a big palm tightly gripping her throat, making her unable to make a sound, and she lost her support and fell to the ground. She still had perception and thought. , but unable to speak or move.The queen mother looked at the emperor condescendingly looking down at her in horror, her cold eyes were filled with peace, so calm that there was no love or hatred, so calm that one look made her feel like she was in an abyss.
She wanted to say that she was not wrong, everything she did was for the grand banquet, she was the empress dowager, she couldn't be wrong, it was the emperor who was wrong, if I knew today, I shouldn't have chosen him back then!
Leaving Yongshou Palace, Yan Huang went directly to Changning Palace, Han Ning had already fallen asleep, Yan Huang did not let anyone inform, but quietly entered the inner room, looking at the sleeping person, the grief in his heart suddenly spread.
There was an extra breath in the room, and Han Ning woke up vigilantly. Seeing that it was the Banquet Emperor, he couldn't help but wonder, "Uncle Emperor?"
Yan Dynasty smiled at him: "How about Uncle Huang sleeping with you tonight?"
Han Ning nodded, and moved sideways, but his bed was already very big, and it was enough to sleep another person without moving, but the little movement of twisting on the bed still amused Yan Huang.Yan Huang took off his coat, lay down on Han Ning's bed, hugged the grown-up child in his arms, patted him on the back like he did when he was a child, and after a while, the already drowsy person fell asleep again. Fell asleep.
Seeing the same face as Han Xiao's when he was a child, Yan Huang raised his hand and stroked it lightly. This is Han Xiao's blood, his only son.Feeling the warmth in his arms, Yan Huang couldn't help but think of the moment when Mo Yuexin was dying.
He didn't know whether Ning'er would hate him if one day he knew that he was the one who forced his mother to death, but he couldn't bear that Han Xiao's only blood had anything to do with that woman, even though Ning'er also had Mo Yuexin in his body But as long as people are not in front of him, he can deceive himself that Ning'er is just Han Xiao's son, Han Xiao and his son.
Mo Yuexin should have known it too, that's why she died so simply. She knew that she would definitely give her all the glory of her life, and that she would regard Ning'er as her life, so she didn't even have any hatred before she left.
But he hates, hates that this is the world that Han Xiao desperately guards, hates that he is the master of this world, hates that he can't follow Mo Yuexin like Mo Yuexin.
Inexplicably, he was hugged by the emperor's uncle and slept all night. He was sore from the sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he saw rows of rewards holding various rare treasures. A word popped out of Han Ning's mind, sleep Capital, so this is the emperor's uncle spending money to buy him for one night.
Han Ning was amused by his own thoughts, and Hong Er, who waited on him to get dressed, said, "Master seems to be in a good mood today."
Han Ning said: "Where is Ji You? Forget it, he will come over when he finishes school, I want him to press it for me, I'm really tired after sleeping."
Hong Er suppressed a smile, and then said: "This morning, news came from the harem that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill."
It looked fine two days ago, Uncle Huang stared at him, but he was flexible: "Why are you suddenly seriously ill?"
Hong Er shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that he was lying on the bed unable to move, and he had a stroke. The prince and prince went to the Queen Mother's Palace early in the morning to pay their respects, but when the emperor left this morning, he said that the master did not need to pay his respects."
Han Ning snorted, he didn't want to go either, he didn't have the leisure to respect the old and love the young.
Because the empress dowager was seriously ill, he was worried that time was running out, so the emperor and the empress chose the nearest auspicious day so that Prince Li could get married as soon as possible. ,not too good.
Prince Li's mansion is about to welcome a hostess, which made Zhou Jin'er, who was previously full of ambition, almost smashed all the decorations in the room.Before, because of Zhou Jin'er's vaguely superior posture, some maidservants in the mansion were a little afraid, for fear that they would suffer disaster if they were offended.But now it is clearly impossible, but the prince said that there will be a couple for a lifetime, so after Princess Congling enters the mansion, there will be no side concubines or concubines, so Zhou Jin'er will fall into hell again in a second, and still The one who was laughed at was even worse.
Zhou Jin'er is naturally not someone who is easy to admit defeat, but it's just that there is an extra princess. Isn't this princess not yet in the house?
Outside the majestic city wall, a young man in ragged clothes walked slowly. The straw sandals on his feet had already been worn out, and there were even dark red blood stains in the gaps of the straw sandals.The clothes on his body are ragged, and he can only cover his body under layers of layers, and he can still see chilblains and bruises on his exposed skin. Even the beggars in the city are a bit more decent than this young man.
Looking at the word "Huangdu" written in a domineering style, the boy's eyes were sharp and filled with hatred. He would get back the glory lost by his Dou family and what the Han family owed, bit by bit!
The author has something to say: It’s the last day of August, you who started school in September, are you happy?
On the day of the Spring Banquet, the weather was beautiful, the weather was clear and cloudless, and it was a slightly cool early spring, which was very refreshing.This year's auspicious snow means a good year, and everyone's face is full of joy. Except for the banquet of the spring banquet party that everyone knows, although it is not shown on the face today, some enthusiastic and bold women also took the initiative to come forward. Chat with it.It's a pity that the banquet ceremony was more than polite, but not enthusiastic enough. Everyone could see that he didn't have that kind of heart, which made many women very frustrated.

The ultimate goal of this spring banquet is to choose concubines for the banquet, and the most suitable candidates for those noble daughters in the imperial capital should be the eldest daughter of An Guogong, Jiang Congling, the eldest daughter of An Guogong, is a well-known talented woman in the imperial capital , and because her uncle's family has been in the army for generations, she has also learned martial arts since she was a child.

The banquet hurriedly knelt down: "Brother Rongchen, please report in detail! It was true that there was a plague of locusts in October last year, but the disaster was not serious. It only damaged more than a thousand acres of land. The surplus food in the palace is enough to relieve the disaster, so there is no need to alarm the court to trouble the emperor." Disappointing! My younger brother was called into the imperial city, but he didn’t expect this winter before he set off, and he failed to eliminate the hidden dangers of the mob. This younger brother was indeed negligent, please punish him.”
The Emperor of Banquet sneered: "You imply that I shouldn't have called you to Beijing?"
The banquet was shocked: "My brother has absolutely no such intention!"
The Banquet Emperor waved his hand: "You have no unknown ability for this natural disaster, and you really can't blame it, but this mob riot has to be dealt with, Jinsui."
Being called by the emperor, Jin Sui, who was accompanying the eldest princess's wife, hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty!"
The Emperor Banquet said: "I order you to go to Siguan Mountain with [-] elite soldiers to suppress the mob, and set off immediately, there must be no mistakes!"
Jin Sui quickly took orders. Although [-] elite soldiers were not too many, they were indeed in a hurry to set off immediately, so they immediately went down to recruit troops after resigning.
Banyan's gaze was slightly lowered, but he could only let it go.
After all, the Empress has been the mother of the world for many years, and she has been with the Banquet Emperor for so long. She couldn't guess ten times ten, but she also guessed one out of ten, so she said at the right time: "Prince Li really didn't want this natural disaster. General Jin is here, and mobs can't make a difference, so your majesty can be relieved, this early spring is a good time, don't be disturbed by such troublesome things."
The Emperor of Banquet nodded: "Indeed, although this year's winter is long, the sowing is considered timely. When the harvest is harvested in autumn, there will be a lot of fruit." After the Emperor of Banquet finished speaking, he said: "Where did you just say?"
The queen quickly said: "Speaking of the crown jewel of the principality, I beg you for a favor."
The Emperor Banquet said: "Since the grace has been requested, I don't know who the daughter of An Guogong belongs to? If it is a concubine's love, I will give it to you."
Jiang Congling subconsciously glanced at the banquet, but quickly looked away. She knew that she was not in the banquet's heart, so she would not embarrass herself in public. Just as she was about to refuse, the queen said: "Your Majesty, my concubine! It was also said just now that Miss Jiang and Prince Li are good-looking men and women, but Prince Li hasn't expressed that yet."
Yan Huang looked at Yan Li: "What does Prince Li think about this?"
The banquet slightly lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang is virtuous and virtuous, with both talents and sentiments, which is very good."
Yan Huang said: "If it matches you, do you like it?"
Hearing the words of the banquet, he pursed his lips and smiled, and looked up at Jiang Congling: "I like it."
Jiang Cong's eyes shone slightly, and a touch of shame crept up his cheeks.
Ji You twirled the wine glass in his hand, laughed playfully, lived a new life, and indeed saw many things more clearly.
Han Ning was playing with the jade belt on Emperor Yan's body, thinking about Jiang Congling's notoriety in the previous life. This woman's personality is a bit extreme, but this extreme is extreme in the current environment. I supported him all the way to become a fourth-rank petty official. A few years ago, he was still a good one. Later, An Guogong made a mistake and was deprived of his title. The fourth-rank petty official felt that he had been suppressed by his wife and family for many years. In a concubine's room, it is normal for a man to take a concubine, but on the second day after entering the concubine's room, they were all strangled to death by Jiang Congling and hung in front of her husband's room. In the end, Jiang Congling cut off his life with a whip. This incident was too shocking. At that time, there was a lot of trouble in the imperial capital. Even he, who didn't care much about things outside the window, heard about it, and he was considered a strange woman. up.
It is said that the banquet for a couple for a lifetime will eventually be given a marriage, or Jiang Congling, who is well-known in the imperial capital. The Banquet Emperor also bestowed Jiang Congling with the title of Sovereign, and it is a good story to enjoy the city and be with the Prince of Li.
In Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was finishing her tonic under the service of everyone, when all the servants in the palace suddenly knelt down on the ground, the Empress Dowager looked up and found that the emperor had not sent any communication.The Queen Mother sneered: "What kind of wind is it today that His Majesty came to Yongshou Palace?"
The Banquet Emperor waved away the crowd and sat opposite the Empress Dowager: "I have come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
The queen mother snorted again: "Please greet? You have been in power for many years, why have you ever come to greet you?"
The Banquet Emperor chuckled: "If you don't come to pay your respects, how will you know if the Empress Dowager is okay?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor Yan with sharp eyes, her eyes full of scrutiny.
The Emperor Yan said: "It would be great if you could stay at Yuming Mountain and worship the Buddha with peace of mind."
The queen mother sneered: "Then let you act recklessly in the palace and spoil that traitor's son who charmed your lord?!"
The Banquet Emperor smiled instead of anger: "A traitor, if Han Xiao is a traitor, what is your Zhong family? Loyal to the emperor and patriotic? Originally, I wanted to fulfill the love between mother and child for many years, so I will give you a happy one. Since you don't want it, That’s all there.”
The queen mother's heart sank: "What do you mean? Could it be that you want to kill your mother? If you really become the emperor, no one in this world can do anything to you?"
The emperor said: "Emperor, when your parents and son died in a palace fight, only I, a poor prince who lost his mother and concubine, could be manipulated by you. You colluded with powerful ministers to seek the throne, and I have been under the control of you behind the curtain for many years since I ascended the throne." , Unfortunately, you are old, and I am still young."
The power has been evaded all these years, and the queen mother couldn't help being shocked when she heard this: "What do you mean?!"
Yan Huang smiled: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will let you watch how your Zhong family was uprooted bit by bit, I want the entire Zhong family to pay for what happened back then!"
The queen mother slammed the table: "How dare you!"
Yan Huang looked at the empty soup bowl with a smile: "How does the blood swallow taste?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the Banquet Emperor in shock: "You, you actually poisoned me?"
The Emperor of Banquet laughed directly: "I said that I will not kill you, so you have to watch carefully and watch how I will repeat what happened back then, but this time, it will be your Zhong family who will enter the game. Your Zhong family will bear the infamy forever, because of the love between the queen mother and me, mother and child!"
The Empress Dowager wanted to say something, but there seemed to be a big palm tightly gripping her throat, making her unable to make a sound, and she lost her support and fell to the ground. She still had perception and thought. , but unable to speak or move.The queen mother looked at the emperor condescendingly looking down at her in horror, her cold eyes were filled with peace, so calm that there was no love or hatred, so calm that one look made her feel like she was in an abyss.
She wanted to say that she was not wrong, everything she did was for the grand banquet, she was the empress dowager, she couldn't be wrong, it was the emperor who was wrong, if I knew today, I shouldn't have chosen him back then!
Leaving Yongshou Palace, Yan Huang went directly to Changning Palace, Han Ning had already fallen asleep, Yan Huang did not let anyone inform, but quietly entered the inner room, looking at the sleeping person, the grief in his heart suddenly spread.
There was an extra breath in the room, and Han Ning woke up vigilantly. Seeing that it was the Banquet Emperor, he couldn't help but wonder, "Uncle Emperor?"
Yan Dynasty smiled at him: "How about Uncle Huang sleeping with you tonight?"
Han Ning nodded, and moved sideways, but his bed was already very big, and it was enough to sleep another person without moving, but the little movement of twisting on the bed still amused Yan Huang.Yan Huang took off his coat, lay down on Han Ning's bed, hugged the grown-up child in his arms, patted him on the back like he did when he was a child, and after a while, the already drowsy person fell asleep again. Fell asleep.
Seeing the same face as Han Xiao's when he was a child, Yan Huang raised his hand and stroked it lightly. This is Han Xiao's blood, his only son.Feeling the warmth in his arms, Yan Huang couldn't help but think of the moment when Mo Yuexin was dying.
He didn't know whether Ning'er would hate him if one day he knew that he was the one who forced his mother to death, but he couldn't bear that Han Xiao's only blood had anything to do with that woman, even though Ning'er also had Mo Yuexin in his body But as long as people are not in front of him, he can deceive himself that Ning'er is just Han Xiao's son, Han Xiao and his son.
Mo Yuexin should have known it too, that's why she died so simply. She knew that she would definitely give her all the glory of her life, and that she would regard Ning'er as her life, so she didn't even have any hatred before she left.
But he hates, hates that this is the world that Han Xiao desperately guards, hates that he is the master of this world, hates that he can't follow Mo Yuexin like Mo Yuexin.
Inexplicably, he was hugged by the emperor's uncle and slept all night. He was sore from the sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he saw rows of rewards holding various rare treasures. A word popped out of Han Ning's mind, sleep Capital, so this is the emperor's uncle spending money to buy him for one night.
Han Ning was amused by his own thoughts, and Hong Er, who waited on him to get dressed, said, "Master seems to be in a good mood today."
Han Ning said: "Where is Ji You? Forget it, he will come over when he finishes school, I want him to press it for me, I'm really tired after sleeping."
Hong Er suppressed a smile, and then said: "This morning, news came from the harem that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill."
It looked fine two days ago, Uncle Huang stared at him, but he was flexible: "Why are you suddenly seriously ill?"
Hong Er shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that he was lying on the bed unable to move, and he had a stroke. The prince and prince went to the Queen Mother's Palace early in the morning to pay their respects, but when the emperor left this morning, he said that the master did not need to pay his respects."
Han Ning snorted, he didn't want to go either, he didn't have the leisure to respect the old and love the young.
Because the empress dowager was seriously ill, he was worried that time was running out, so the emperor and the empress chose the nearest auspicious day so that Prince Li could get married as soon as possible. ,not too good.
Prince Li's mansion is about to welcome a hostess, which made Zhou Jin'er, who was previously full of ambition, almost smashed all the decorations in the room.Before, because of Zhou Jin'er's vaguely superior posture, some maidservants in the mansion were a little afraid, for fear that they would suffer disaster if they were offended.But now it is clearly impossible, but the prince said that there will be a couple for a lifetime, so after Princess Congling enters the mansion, there will be no side concubines or concubines, so Zhou Jin'er will fall into hell again in a second, and still The one who was laughed at was even worse.
Zhou Jin'er is naturally not someone who is easy to admit defeat, but it's just that there is an extra princess. Isn't this princess not yet in the house?
Outside the majestic city wall, a young man in ragged clothes walked slowly. The straw sandals on his feet had already been worn out, and there were even dark red blood stains in the gaps of the straw sandals.The clothes on his body are ragged, and he can only cover his body under layers of layers, and he can still see chilblains and bruises on his exposed skin. Even the beggars in the city are a bit more decent than this young man.
Looking at the word "Huangdu" written in a domineering style, the boy's eyes were sharp and filled with hatred. He would get back the glory lost by his Dou family and what the Han family owed, bit by bit!
The author has something to say: It’s the last day of August, you who started school in September, are you happy?
