I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

The heated discussion lasted for a while before it gradually subsided.

Wu Mingkong still looked indifferent, looked around for a week, and said seriously: "Next, I and the Emperor of the Great Zhou will announce the list of the first meeting of the great cadres and the Great Zhou's ministers."

The voice fell.

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent.

The officials looked at the two empresses on the stage, held their breath and waited quietly.

In fact, for the vast majority of them, it doesn't matter who is on this list, there won't be them anyway.

The reason they were nervous was because they were eager to know if there was that person's name on the list.

In particular, several core members of the Fang Party were even more nervous.

If Her Majesty the Empress suddenly launches an attack on the other party, they really don't have a good way to deal with it in a short time.

After all, most of the main force of the new army remained in Zhou State, and when Bai Qi led the troops back from southern Shanxi, the day lily was cold.

All the officials stared at the Empress without blinking, waiting for the list to be announced.

Wu Mingkong looked around, opened his red lips lightly, and slowly uttered the first name.

"Minister of State, Fang Xiu."

The short six words made several important officials present heaved a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

Fang Xiang is still there.

the other side.

The back door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A handsome man in a python robe walked out slowly, and stood between the officials and the two empresses, with a majestic and inviolable look.

Several Fang Party core members looked at each other, saluted one after another, and shouted: "See you, Prime Minister Fang."

The rest of the officials also followed suit.

"Meet Fang Xiang."

The tone is respectful and respectful, not daring to offend in the slightest.

They understood that the meeting between Dagan and Dazhou's ministers of political affairs was said to be a government office to strengthen the relationship between the two countries, but in fact it integrated the two courts and concentrated power in Fang Xiang.

Although Fang Xiang himself is the prime minister of Dagan and the regent of Dazhou, with the status of the Minister of State, he can better coordinate the military and state affairs of the two countries.

After Wu Mingkong and other officials saluted, they read out the list: "Political Councilors, Du Chen'an, Qin Xingyan, Qian Haonan, Xie Qian."

The voice fell.

Naturally, there was another discussion underneath.

The vicissitudes of life showed excitement on the faces of the three second-rank officials who were named.

After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, they certainly know the meaning of the status of "political councilor".

This means that they are not only the important ministers of Dagan, but also the important ministers of Dazhou, and they have a pivotal position in the alliance between the two countries.

Even if they went to the Zhou Kingdom, their status was extremely high.

Of course, the premise is that the alliance between the two countries can remain stable.

There was also a small group of officials who showed doubts and asked in a low voice: "Who is this Xie Qian? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Someone next to him explained: "Xie Qian is the chief assistant of Zhou State's cabinet. The reason why the court was able to win Zhou State without bloodshed has a lot to do with Xie Qian. At the beginning, Zhou Huangchan was located in the present Great Zhou Empress. The head of the country's hundred officials operates in it."

"Is there such a thing? That Xie Qian is already the head of a hundred officials, so what's the benefit of persecuting the former Emperor Zhou?"

Hearing this, the explainer glanced at him and said in his heart, what he said is so clear, why don't you understand?

After being silent for a few seconds, he still explained: "If he hadn't forced the former Emperor Zhou to take the Zen position, Jinnan would have been bleeding like a river. He, the chief minister of the cabinet, might be hiding somewhere, living a life of fear. Where did you get the status of the current political councilor to lead the affairs of the two countries?"

Hearing this, the man suddenly realized and nodded, and said in his mouth: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable."

the other side.

After reading out the list, the little empress looked at Xiao Sheng
The officials who were discussing finally showed a smile on their expressionless faces, and said: "The years are coming to an end, and the year is coming to an end, and the old year is here. Next, please enjoy the benefits from my great work." Delicious delicacies shipped from all over Dazhou!"

The voice fell.

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief and saluted one after another.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Following the two empresses and Fang Xiang, they were seated.

All the officials also sat down one after another, chatting in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Fang Xiu sat opposite Li Yaoyue, beside the little empress, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

According to the original arrangement, his seat should be on the leftmost side of the Baiguan, closest to the two empresses, with three other political councilors on his side. There is still a vacant seat reserved for Xie Qian from the original state of Zhou.

However, now his seat is arranged next to the little empress, next to the little empress.

Obviously the little empress did it on purpose.

"This is the best venison transported from the state of Zhou. It's extremely tender. Come and give it to Xiang Xiang to taste." Wu Mingkong's melodious voice sounded.

Lin Wan'er, who was serving behind her, hurriedly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, he stepped forward to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison, and put it in Fang Xiu's bowl.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress, with a smile on his face, picked up the venison, put it in his mouth, and started to chew.

Seeing this, the little empress still had no expression on her face, but a pair of slender jade hands quietly came to Fang Xiu's waist, and pinched lightly.

Fang Xiu was in pain, and subconsciously looked at the Empress, with doubts in his eyes.

Wu Mingkong slightly parted his red lips, but did not make a sound.

But it can be clearly read that she is saying "give me wine and vegetables".

"."

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress in front of him, for some reason, subconsciously glanced at Li Yaoyue who was opposite, hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up a piece of roasted mutton, put it in the empress's bowl, and said softly: "This mutton is good, Your Majesty, taste it."

Wu Mingkong looked calm, picked up the mutton, and said while eating: "I still want to eat that sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

I want to eat it myself.

Fang Xiu cursed in his heart, still picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in the little empress's bowl.

The little empress opened her red lips lightly, took a small bite, savored it carefully, and said in a voice that was not too big or too small, just enough for Li Yaoyue to hear: "The taste of this cake is better than the one you made for me. A little less."

The voice fell.

Li Yaoyue raised her eyes to look at Fang Xiu, then lowered her head, and ate vegetables on her own, her delicate oval face was neither happy nor sad, as if she had seen through the world of mortals.

the other side.

Fang Xiu was a little confused, thinking: When did I make you sweet-scented osmanthus cake?

After thinking for a few seconds, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

a year ago.

Li Yaoyue made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for him.

At that time, he felt that the taste was mediocre, thinking that the little empress loved to eat, so he brought it to the palace and gave it to her.

Although Fang Xiu did not say who did it at the time.

But in the eyes of the little empress, Fang Xiu could only make it by herself for such an unremarkable taste, and she was a little happy at that time.

This matter has always been in her heart.

"If she knew, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was given to her was made by Li Yaoyue."

Don't even think about it.

The little empress would definitely break his leg in anger.

"Cough cough."

Fang Xiu coughed twice, in order to hide his guilty conscience, he picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine for the little empress, and said with a smile: "This is the fruit wine brewed from pomegranates and hawthorns in Zhenbaozhai. It tastes sweet and delicious. Your Majesty, have a taste."

Wu Mingkong watched him enthusiastically pouring wine for himself, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, he didn't quite understand why he suddenly changed his attitude.

But he still picked up the wine glass happily, took a sip, and exclaimed: "It's really good."

the other side.

Li Yaoyue sat behind the table, eating and drinking quietly, and never looked at Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong from the beginning to the end.

She knew that Wu Mingkong was announcing her love for the other party Xiu in this way.

Wu Mingkong is telling her with practical actions that she is only Fang Xiu's wife in name, and she is the real wife.

However, Li Yaoyue didn't really care about Mrs. Fang Xiu's identity.

At the same time, her rationality told her that it was too naive for a dignified king of a country to think so carefully about such a small matter of love between his sons and daughters.

But for some reason, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, feeling bored and congested.

Maybe it's because just a year ago, she had imagined that there would be such a day, even on the most important occasions, she could express her inner feelings with her husband as if no one else was around.

But now she clearly realizes that she is no longer the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was loved by thousands of people in the past, and she is no longer the little girl who is sheltered from the wind and rain for her.
From this point of view, she is very envious of Wu Mingkong. Even after being an empress for three years, she can still retain a girlish innocence.

Because someone has been silently guarding her.

Wu Mingkong took a sip of his wine, looked up at Li Yaoyue, and saw that she was expressionless from beginning to end, she didn't know what she thought of, leaned forward, leaned in front of Fang Xiu, and said softly: "Your wife is watching So lonely, don't you go to comfort me?"

Fang Xiu turned his head to look at the Empress, raised his brows, and said, "The minister will follow His Majesty's will?"

Wu Mingkong squinted at him, and said angrily, "How dare you!"

Naturally, Fang Xiu didn't dare.

It's not because he's afraid of the little empress, but because he's afraid of indebted to her for her affection for him.

"Didn't His Majesty ask the minister to do this?"

Fang Xiu teased with a smile on his brows.

"Whatever I ask you to do, do what you do? Then I ask you to kiss me, do you dare?"

A faint blush appeared on Wu Mingkong's delicate oval face.

His rippling eyes looked at Fang Xiu with a soft voice.

Fang Xiu didn't expect that the little empress would dare to say such frivolous words in front of civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a string in his heart seemed to be touched, but he still remained calm.

"All the officials are still there. If Your Majesty wants me to do this, I will have a whole night when I return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he curled his mouth and said angrily, "Coward."

"."

Fang Xiu was speechless.

at this time.

The little empress picked up the wine glass again, took a sip, and said in admiration: "This pomegranate wine tastes really good, very sweet."

Fang Xiudao: "Zhenbaozhai also makes wine. Although the sweetness is slightly inferior to pomegranate wine, it has more flavor."

"wine?"

Hearing these three words, Wu Mingkong's watery eyes burst into light, and he said, "I want to drink it, bring it for me to taste!"

Fang Xiudao: "It's still in the shop of Zhenbaozhai. I will bring it to His Majesty tomorrow."

Wu Mingkong was a little unhappy, he hummed and said, "I want to drink now."

at this time.

Fang Xiu finally noticed that something was wrong with the little empress, looking at her blushing cheeks, he suddenly realized.

The little empress is too strong to drink!
I still remember that two years ago, in Yirenju, the little empress just drank a glass of wine, and then she was drunk, talking nonsense and unconscious.

Although the alcohol content of fruit wine is even lower, to the little empress, as long as it is wine, it is strong wine.

"Your Majesty, you are drunk, I will help you to rest in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

As Fang Xiu said, he gave Lin Wan'er a wink.

Lin Wan'er understood immediately, walked up to the empress, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, all the officials are here, let's
Go back to rest first. "

Wu Mingkong glanced at her, and said in a vague tone: "I am the Son of Heaven, so what if I have some wine, hurry up and bring me that wine to taste."

The voice was neither small nor loud, and all the important officials who were close could hear it.

However, they went to pretend they didn't hear anything, they still talked and laughed.

"Drinking some fruit wine can make you crazy, but the little empress is really not good at wine."

Fang Xiu slandered in his heart, walked over, and said softly: "There is fruit wine in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I will take your majesty there."

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu with eyes full of water, and asked, "Really?"

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "I have never lied to Your Majesty."

Wu Mingkong muttered: "You have been lying to me too much, don't say anything else, last night you clearly said not to move around, but it turned out not to be."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Wan'er covered his mouth by the side.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Cough cough."

Du Chen'an, who was closest to Fang Xiu and the little empress, for some reason, his old face flushed red, and coughed violently.

The corners of Fang Xiu's eyes twitched, knowing that the little empress could not be allowed to stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony any longer, otherwise there would be a joke sooner or later.

She gave Lin Wan'er a wink.

Then he supported the little empress on the left and right, and walked out of the hall.

Fortunately, Wu Mingkong was still sober at this time, he didn't mess around, he just put his little head next to Fang Xiu's ear, and asked with a smile: "Fang Xiu, was the stabbing just now exciting?"

What thorn is not stimulating?

Fang Xiu looked bewildered.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the little empress was heard again.

"Just now you served me food in front of Li Yaoyue, is that considered stealing?"

Fang Xiu covered his mouth before he could say the word "love" at the end.

Although Wu Mingkong's voice was not loud, Li Yaoyue, who was the closest, could faintly hear it.

Although Wu Mingkong only said the word "steal", it was self-evident what he wanted to say later.

Li Yaoyue raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Mingkong with a strange expression on her face, then she looked away as if she didn't hear anything.

Not to mention Li Yaoyue, even Fang Xiu's mouth twitched when he heard this, thinking, this little girl still thinks a lot about movies.

"The minister and His Majesty are aboveboard, why steal words?"

Fang Xiu said with a straight face.

Wu Mingkong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Fang Xiu interrupted him before he could speak.

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you can talk to your ministers when you arrive at the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
