The night is coming, and the city is shrouded in a dark and cold night. The Palace of Peace, where the feudal lords and ministers are being entertained, is full of warmth and excitement.

Shen Jue, who was seated first on Xiao Yulan's left, seemed not to see the delicious food in front of him, and seemed to have glanced at the four princes beside him and across from him.

Their expressions are relaxed, and they often have a wide smile, but Shen Jue can taste a bit of bitterness from the taste, and he is still a dumb man who can't talk to others about eating Coptis chinensis. Regarding the affairs in the palace, seeing this scene at this moment, he couldn't help guessing what happened when Xiao Yulan met several people.

Feeling palpitations due to ignorance, the feeling of taking the initiative out of control is not good, and Shen Jue doesn't like it.He could see the situation of the feudal lords, and his enemies for many years should have seen it too. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, Xu Yingping really looked serious, his gaze changed several times and finally looked at Xiao Yulan who was standing high above.

After Xiao Yulan led the Empress and Concubine Shen into the palace, she focused on chatting and laughing with the Empress in a low voice, and served the Empress with food from time to time. She was quite affectionate, and it made Shen Ruqing, who was alone beside her, very awkward. As long as she was not blind, she could see Shen Ruqing's superfluity. Fortunately, Shen Ruqing saw it by herself Thorough, not smart to get up, eat your own.

Xiao Yulan's actions made Xu Yingping shudder.

General Xu, who married his daughter, never thought that his daughter would receive such a blessing from Xiao Yulan.Before Xu Jinyuan canonized as empress, because she was often by the empress dowager's side, she often met Xiao Yulan. She had never heard that Xiao Yulan had special affection for her.When the Empress Dowager summoned him to discuss the marriage, she also said that Xiao Yulan was a person with ideas, and marrying Xu Jinyuan was a matter of force.

Less than half a month after they got married, Xiao Yulan was so kind to his daughter, he would not believe it when he said it meant nothing else.

In fact, it's not hard to guess, Xu Yingping looked at Shen Jue meaningfully, seeing the jewel in his palm being left out doesn't feel good, does it?

Xu Yingping also heard that Shen Ruqing was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for three months for her inappropriate behavior, which was Xiao Yulan's intention to personally appoint the queen.

From this point of view, even if Xiao Yulan harbored evil intentions to make Shen Jue feel uncomfortable, Xu Yingping didn't mind offending him, since he had been displeased with this pious old thing for a long time.

Shen Jue turned a blind eye to the scrutiny of others, and didn't care about Shen Ruqing, so he gave the head of the Ministry of Rites a wink.

Coincidentally, the head of the Ministry of Rituals is seated next to Luo Wenge, and Shen Jue's eyes are not concealed, so he probably doesn't take Luo Wenge seriously, a young minister of Dali Temple with an empty title is really not worthy of recognition High-profile place.

Luo Wenge, who was despised by others, didn't react much, and quietly watched them make trouble.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Rituals was not in a hurry to act after receiving the order, the other party was waiting for a suitable opportunity.

The singing and dancing will be suspended, and a new round of performances will be staged. The people who come up this time are somewhat different, they are four and a half children, two men and two women. They are slender and wear thin clothes. The sound of percussion is officially performed.

When the boy picked up the girl and asked the girls to throw bowls at each other and stack them, Luo Wenge realized that this was juggling.

Juggling on such occasions, the head of the Ministry of Rituals was trying to test Xiao Yulan's bottom line, because since the founding of the Ning Dynasty and the establishment of the capital, this kind of celebration was only allowed on the evening of Huanqiu Festival on the Winter Solstice.

Luo Wenge lowered his eyes and sipped his wine. Shen Jue was afraid that Xiao Yulan wouldn't be able to see how far his hand was stretched, so he was in such a hurry to seek death?

This is really wrong to blame Shen Jue, because the old Shen Ge who kept his emotions and anger indifferent when he saw the juggler coming up, his expression changed slightly, and his questioning eyes instantly fell on the head of the Ministry of Rites.

The person in charge of the etiquette department also looked dumbfounded, perfectly playing the foolish attitude of being tricked.

At the same time, everyone who saw juggling in the palace looked at Xiao Yulan in unison.

Xiao Yulan was neither angry nor scolded, and leaned over to talk to the empress with a gentle expression. Seeing him pointing while watching the juggling, he should be discussing with the empress.

This reaction falls into the eyes of those present, who do not know what kind of wave of events will be set off.

Luo Wenge has only one feeling: life depends on acting skills.

Xiao Yulan didn't respond, and someone spoke forcefully.

As the juggling performance came to an end, the two girls put down the piled bowls, took over the picture scrolls thrown by their companions, and unfolded them at the same time.It's a very auspicious congratulatory message, but it doesn't match today's banquet.

When the lingering sound of the percussion music was still around the beams, someone suddenly got up, went to the center of the hall, knelt down and said coldly: "I implore your majesty to punish the person in charge of the banquet this time!"

The moment this person stepped out, Luo Wenge had the feeling that it really was him.

Xiao Yulan smiled, and before she could speak, the head of the Ministry of Rituals crawled to the side of the plaintiff, knocked his head on the ground several times, and stammered his excuse: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I, I am clearly not prepared for this Performance, I don’t know how it got into the palace, Your Majesty, I’m wronged!”

"Master Li is saying that someone cheated the world and let him in without your knowledge?" Xie Wenxuan said coldly.

Mr. Li was sweating profusely when he was asked: "The minister has organized banquets for more than ten years and has never made a mistake. How could he arrange a wrong performance on such an important occasion?"

"Then how does Master Li explain that the celebration performance that was supposed to be at the sacrificial banquet appeared at this time?" Xie Wenxuan's question was like his person, indifferent and sharp, hard to avoid the edge.

Mr. Li was standing on the sharp edge, and it hurt everywhere. Before Xiao Yulan made a sound, Xie Wenxuan had the right to ask, and Mr. Li had no choice but to answer.

Lord Li wiped the sweat from his brow, and said in a trembling voice: "I really don't know. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon Mr. Xiang, who works with me, and you will know. I dare to swear to God, I have never had the heart to rebel against Your Majesty, heaven and earth It can be learned."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Xie Wenxuan turned his head and said sincerely.

Many eyes in the hall fell on Xiao Yulan one after another.

Xiao Yulan held a grape, pondered for a moment and said: "Then follow the wishes of the two lovers, Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li led a small step out to find that Eunuch Xiang.

The wait is always very long, and in Mr. Li's heart, this half-cup of tea is more difficult than years.

When Eunuch Li came back, Lord Li's eyes were more hopeful, as long as Eunuch Xiang could speak a few words of justice for him, then His Majesty would not blame him, and Elder Shen Ge would not be disappointed with him.Master Li put all his hopes on Eunuch Xiang, and with the benefits he gave to Eunuch Xiang, the other party had no reason not to speak up for him.

Eunuch Li's heart is as stable as a rock.

"Your Majesty, little Xiangzi is already waiting outside the hall." Eunuch Li said softly.

"Let him in." Xiao Yulan said.

Eunuch Li responded, turned around and raised his voice: "Let Xiao Xiangzi enter the palace to see you."

After the sound fell, a man with bowed head came trotting in from outside the hall, knelt down beside Xie Wenxuan, trembling: "Xiao Xiangzi, the head of the Shangshan Supervisor, pays his respects to His Majesty."

"Excuse me." Xiao Yulan looked at Xie Wenxuan and Master Li, "Here's the person, you can ask whatever you want."

This means handing over the mastery and being a bystander.

No matter how Xie Wenxuan felt, Master Li was overjoyed that his life was saved.

Xie Wenxuan turned his head to look at Mr. Li, with a coffin face: "Please, Mr. Li."

Master Li didn't refuse at all, and cut straight to the point: "Eunuch Xiang, you and I have been in business for six or seven years, so we don't need to say anything about our relationship. Today, I hope that Eunuch can help me to prove that I didn't arrange jugglers for this banquet."

Luo Wenge could see that Lord Li's hidden excitement was a special closeness to someone he trusted, but...he looked at the eunuch Xiang who could testify, and he was afraid that he would disappoint Lord Li.

Xiao Xiangzi was full of surprise: "What is the meaning of Mr. Li's words? Do you want me to not commit the crime of deceiving the emperor? The juggler was obviously forced in by Mr. Li regardless of Xiao's objection, and he also claimed that he was the one who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor this time." The person in charge of the reception group has the right to make the decision, just tell Xiao Xiao to shut up and obey the arrangement, why are you saying this again at this time?"

Master Li's face paled in an instant, and when Xie Wenxuan stared at him indifferently, his face flushed red again, pointing at Little Xiangzi and yelling: "You spitting blood, when did I say such a thing?"

Xiao Xiangzi was so frightened that he sat paralyzed on the ground, shaking his body and said in fear: "Could it be that Mr. Li wants to turn his back on him? No one would dare to do this except you nod."

"You!" Master Li blushed anxiously, and wanted to pass Xie Wenxuan and tear Xiao Xiangzi with his hands, but Xie Wenxuan raised his hand to block it.

Xie Wenxuan lifted his chin slightly, and said solemnly: "Master Li, His Majesty and the princes and officials are still here."

Master Li subconsciously looked at Xiao Yulan, Xiao Yulan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes contained interest, as if he was looking at a dying beast.

Master Li vaguely touched the edge of the truth in a blink of an eye, but at that moment, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Xiao Xiangzi like a ghost: "I see, you let those people in, you want me to die!"

"I don't understand what Master Li said." Xiao Xiangzi was still afraid, his voice trembling even more, thinking that Xiao Yulan was still there, Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the juggling is arranged by Master Li. Yes, the little one didn't persuade him, and he threatened that if he dared to tell His Majesty, he would be decapitated on the road, and he said that even if His Majesty knew, he couldn't do anything to him, because he, he..."

Xiao Xiangzi didn't finish his sentence, his eyes couldn't stop moving towards Shen Jue, it was self-evident that he didn't finish.

Xiao Yulan's eyes moved slightly, and she also looked at Shen Jue, her voice trailed off with some unclear tone: "Oh?"

"Your Majesty, he's talking nonsense!" Lord Li said angrily.

"Master Li, the matter has come to this, why do you use the younger one as a scapegoat?" Xiao Xiangzi also asked angrily.

Master Li wanted to say that he was innocent, but no one could prove it, so he looked at Shen Jue at the critical moment.

The whole hall was silent, and they couldn't help looking at Shen Jue.

Even a fool can see who the real protagonist of this scene is. Luo Wenge glanced at the faces watching the play, closing his eyes to cover his thoughts.

Who did this crude framing come from?

Anyone can, including Xiao Yulan.

In the quiet room, Xiao Yulan chuckled lightly: "Why don't you kill it? It's an eyesore, Shen Ge always thinks?"
