In the 43rd year of Jingyuan, Emperor Qi celebrated his birthday, all civil and military officials and their families went to the palace together in heavy Chinese clothes.

Emperor Qi hadn't been to the court for two years, and his highness Qi Hanxiao, the sixth prince, dealt with all matters large and small.This time, Emperor Qi's birthday, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince specially held this grand birthday banquet as a show of filial piety. In addition to civil and military officials, noble ministers from subordinate Fan Kingdoms were also invited.

I saw the majestic palaces and terraces, Qionglouyuyu, and lights and festoons everywhere.Beautiful and luxurious palace lanterns covered every corner of the main hall of the imperial palace. Even the furthest tree hung a delicate palace lantern, making the whole palace look magnificent and magnificent.

Outside the Forbidden City, one carriage after another slowly approached and stopped neatly outside the palace wall.All the officials and ministers had different thoughts, but they all had beaming expressions on their faces. The attendants behind them were holding treasures, big or small, precious or rare, and they all came to celebrate Emperor Qi's birthday.

In the Chaoyang Palace, the dances and dances are peaceful, and the beautiful dancers wear extremely beautiful skirts and dance to the music played by the musicians.All of them wore beautiful, delicate and crisp tassels on their heads, which shone under the bright lights as they danced.

The main hall is filled with all kinds of melons and fruits to eat, the food is precious and high-end, and any one that is taken out is a delicacy that ordinary common people will never eat in their lifetime.The hall is filled with the fragrance of melons and fruits, the sweet fragrance of rouge powder and various bouquets of noble ladies.

As time went by, the number of people in the hall gradually increased.The noble ladies hid their wrists behind the screen and talked and laughed, while the ministers sat in their own seats and greeted the people around them, and the whole hall looked happy and harmonious.

The prime minister was sitting closest to the throne, his hair was almost grey, and the wrinkles on his face were deep. His long and narrow eyes revealed a cold light and a shadow of alienation that made others dare not approach him.

Even so, there were some followers who came forward and respectfully bowed their hands to him, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Excellency is more energetic."

The prime minister snorted coldly and ignored him.

There was a moment of embarrassment on the man's face, which was quickly suppressed by him, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been staying in the harem for the past few years, and it is rare for him to attend the reception of so many ministers in full dress. This banquet, I am afraid Many people's small minds are starting to stir."

"My colleagues are all dedicated to His Majesty." The Prime Minister drank a glass of wine slowly, "I am sorry that I don't understand what Master Li said."

Master Li froze suddenly, and an unnatural stiffness and guilty conscience flashed across his face.He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and knew that he would not be favored and appreciated by the prime minister, so he apologized and left in desperation.

The prime minister has always been extremely powerful, except for the emperor and generals, almost the entire court looks at his face and speaks.In his previous life, Gu Xiaoyong struggled in such an environment with the help of his teacher's few disciples and the emperor's favor to forcibly break through a path to fight against the forces of the prime minister's party.

In this life, Gu Xiaoyong was not in the court, but the power of the prime minister was greatly weakened by the rise of the sixth prince.If the sixth prince was the only brat in the entire court, the prime minister would appreciate his ability, but he would definitely not take him seriously.But now, not only the General's Mansion firmly stood behind the Sixth Prince, but the entire court underwent a major change under the influence of Phoenix Ling, and new officials and disciples also turned towards His Highness the Sixth Prince.

The prime minister has been fighting for a lifetime, but now he is about to be defeated by a young man with a yellow mouth, how can he be reconciled?

He took another sip of wine, staring coldly at the direction of the sixth prince, and he didn't know what conspiracy was going on in his mind.

Qi Hanxiao didn't seem to notice his gaze, and just stood upright on the spot with his sleeves folded.After five years, his stature has grown a lot, and he is no longer as thin as before. On the contrary, he has been well-raised. Although he is not yet weak, he can already support himself like a real man God.

Many officials came forward to greet him, and some secretly came to inquire about the news, but Qi Hanxiao prevaricated them politely.

He is handsome, with sharp eyebrows and deep eyes.Standing under the light in Chinese clothes, even though his face was slightly cold and alienated, there were still a large number of noble ladies hiding behind the screen and looking at him admiringly.

After a while, a powerful king of Fanbang came over with his daughter, and talked with Qi Hanxiao in very fluent Chinese, and after a while the topic turned to his own daughter: "His Royal Highness has also reached the age of marrying a wife." Come on, how do you see my princess?"

The foreigners are much more enthusiastic and cheerful than the people from the Central Plains. This princess is wearing a traditional costume unique to a minority, and her eyebrows and eyes are also extremely beautiful.She was not as shy and timid as the noble ladies of the imperial court. Instead, she looked at Qi Hanxiao's face curiously, and said in not-so-fluent Chinese: "You...you look good."

The noble ladies behind the screen blushed anxiously, wishing they could rush up and tear off this princess's hair right now.But he also knew that his status was inferior to others, so he had no choice but to grab his embroidered handkerchief and bite his silver teeth.

Qi Hanxiao bowed to the princess, the expression on his face was still indifferent: "The princess also looks like a country, but I have someone I like, so I'm afraid I won't be able to respond to the princess' kindness."

This princess is not a pestering person, so she dismissed the charm in her heart after hearing the words, and asked with a smile, "May I know who that person is?"

Qi Hanxiao paused, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at a certain corner, his indifferent expression became much softer to the naked eye, as if he was showing off something, he said: "He's there."

The princess looked back, but saw a man with drab clothes and excellent fabrics sitting in an unoccupied corner.The man was handsome and handsome, with a scholarly temperament all over him. He was writing something quickly on the desk with a pen and paper, and his eyes were still shining with excitement.

"He... looks very lively." The princess held back for a long time before making such a comment.

The corner of Qi Hanxiao's mouth curled into a faint smile: "This is also very cute."

If he knew what kind of mess this seemingly well-behaved Qu Yao wrote on the paper, he might not be able to get the evaluation of "cute".

Qu Yao is writing a small yellow essay about two Yu Xueyuans and one Gu Xiaoyong, and when she gets excited, she takes out the three bananas on the table and puts them in various weird poses to inspire herself.

In Qi Hanxiao's eyes, even his good brother is too innocent and cute, and he can have fun with a few bananas.

Although the foreign king failed to marry His Royal Highness the sixth prince, he had a pleasant conversation with him and took his daughter away contentedly.

After a while, a man who looked like a student stuffed a note into the sixth prince's hand while talking to him, and a deep look flashed in his eyes.

Qi Hanxiao quietly hid the note in his sleeve, and waited until all the people who had greeted him sat back in their seats safely, then went to a place where no one was around and opened the note.

It's written in his brother's handwriting.

[The traitor has been found out, the news has leaked, and he is standing still. 】

Qi Hanxiao frowned.

Putting the note into the palace lantern at the side, and after it was completely reduced to ashes, Qi Hanxiao approached the hall with a cold face.

The prime minister was drinking slowly, with the joy of winning at his fingertips hidden in his eyes.

Qi Hanxiao remained calm, raised his hand to caress his wrench, first turned three times to the left, then turned two times to the right, and then put down his hand.

Some people who had been watching him secretly received the news, and their hearts that were about to move immediately calmed down, and they continued to talk with the people around them without any change.

There was an undercurrent in the whole hall, only the great writer of Qu, squatting in a corner where no one else could notice, writing his little Huang Wen as if no one was around.

He actually didn't want to come to this kind of banquet, it's just that he was almost fascinated five years ago.After the rape, His Highness Prince Qi never let him out of the other party's sight.Even for such an important occasion as the emperor's birthday, he was required to attend and stay in Prince Qi's sight all the time.

Qu Yao felt that the younger brother he recognized had some brain problems, his possessiveness was unbelievably strong, last time he just suggested that he wanted a wife, His Highness Qi locked him in the room for seven days and did not let him go out.

However, he has always had a big heart, and he was full of ideas in the room, and even exploded a lot of forced plays, and made a lot of money for it.Later, His Highness softened his heart and let him out, but he was still unwilling.

After a while, the protagonist of the banquet finally brought his queen to the hall.

Compared with a few years ago, Emperor Qi is obviously much older now, and his beautiful and sharp eyes before are also cloudy now.His eyes are only on the queen who is still glamorous next to him, as if he can't see anything beside him, people can't help but wonder if the queen is a fox in the mountains and forests, torturing the Qi Emperor who was originally a Mingjun into this It looks like a person is not a person, a ghost is not a ghost.

This is the first time Emperor Qi has appeared in the eyes of everyone in the past few years.

Those who had expected to see his figure felt utterly disappointed for a moment, and some active thoughts gradually calmed down.

From this point of view, letting His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince control the government is actually the correct choice. If Emperor Qi continues to be in power, the whole Great Yan may already be in chaos.

Emperor Qi didn't seem to notice the disappointed eyes of the people around him, he just took his queen to his throne, broke the proper rules and put the queen on the throne, and then sat on it himself.

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking for a while.

The queen should have had her own place, on the high platform behind the screen.It stands to reason that she should entertain the family members of the court officials, but now she is sitting straight on the throne, which is simply outrageous!

However, the person involved didn't seem to know this at all, and still acted like no one else was there.
