Chapter 265 There is no turning back

Li House.

It was late at night, and bright candles were lit in the government office.The snow outside the house weighs on the branches and leaves, like white flowers in full bloom, beautiful and desolate.

The housekeeper knocked on the door, and saw his master standing in the east room, with his hands behind his back, staring at the paintings on the table.

"Master." The housekeeper stepped forward to salute, "A letter from the palace says that the empress is out of the palace to have fun."

"After all, he is still an incompetent emperor." Li Wan sneered, "The momentum is so great, and there are reforms and assessments. In the end, I don't see if I am suitable to be this emperor."

"What the master said is true. Ever since Princess Wangshu was born, I have been slacking off today." The housekeeper sighed, "Not only is he not as harsh as before, but he always runs to the harem and stays in Fengyi Palace every day. I heard that , and take care of the children himself.”

"I'm still so concerned about giving birth to a girl." Li Wan sat on the chair, his temples were slightly frosted, and his eyes were no longer as bright as they were when he was young.But there was tenderness in his eyes.

In front of him was an image of a woman.

In the picture, the woman has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has regular facial features. She looks a bit playful,

"If you were still here, our child... would be too big." Li Wan murmured.

"My lord, it's been so long, please let it go." The housekeeper comforted me.

"I can't let it go." Li Wan collapsed on the chair, "Did Xu Jin choose Manchun Garden?"

"I chose." The housekeeper nodded, "Fortunately, Mr. Cao helped to recommend it."

"How is the imperial army preparing?"

"Everything is in order." The butler said with a suppressed voice, "It's just that Commander Qin came in the morning and looked a little uneasy."

"It's a rebellion after all, who can feel at ease?" Li Wan smiled helplessly.

"Master, once this move is taken, there is no turning back." Seeing that something is about to happen, no one would be so nervous.The butler raised his eyes slightly, "Master, aren't you afraid that His Majesty is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? If he wants to come... the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?"

"Even so, I can't give up at this juncture." Li Wan slowly clenched his palms, "If we wait any longer, Lin Heng's power will become stronger. At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to attack. Now, even if he did it So what about the set? He took the initiative to turn his back to me, then even if I hurt the enemy a thousand and myself eight hundred, I still have to go."

His strength is not enough to shake Da Jin's foundation.

But a small serious injury can still be achieved.

……

After hearing what happened in the north, Cheng Muqing lost the mood to go shopping.She dragged Lin Heng to the imperial city, and the other party let her pull him.

Back to the palace, on the way to Fengyi Palace, the two saw Li Lanyi.

The young man with his own femininity saluted the two of them.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Muqing asked solemnly, "But there is news from the north?"

"Returning to your mother, this servant has not received any news from the north." Li Lan said respectfully, "It's just that someone paid a high price to inquire about the whereabouts of the two of you."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other.

"Your Majesty's order, the servant girl, told the truth."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, "Is there anything else besides that?"

Li Lan raised his eyes to look at the two of them, his expression was calm, but his gaze was slightly complicated.

"What's the matter with Li Zhangyin, it's okay to speak up." Cheng Muqing said.

"It's nothing." Li Lan and his party saluted, "Your servant will leave." He took two steps back and left.

His back is depressed and lonely, which makes people feel a little distressed for no reason.

"What do you mean by that?" Cheng Muqing asked suddenly.

Lin Heng shook his head.

"Obviously you have ordered everything, but he still looks worried about us."

"I think his attitude towards us is a bit complicated." Lin Heng said, "It seems that he hates us, but he doesn't hate him..."

"When did you know how to analyze people?" Cheng Muqing suddenly smiled.

"Probably unconsciously." Lin Heng shrugged.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Wang Shu's full moon banquet arrived.

Early in the morning, the imperial palace team walked out of the city gate mightily.

The carriage was resplendent and resplendent, with gold threads and precious stones hooked on the hanging veil, and there were a total of six horses leading the carriage, all of which were iron-blooded horses covered with tendons.

The sun is hot and bright, and today should be a rare sunny day in this winter.

The emperor and empress sat in the middle, surrounded by a group of guards and maids on both sides, which can be described as full of style.

"How is the makeup on my face? With so many people watching, I can't lose face." Cheng Muqing was wearing a golden yellow cloak, a pleated skirt inside, and a white sable fur cape outside. He was holding Mrs. Tang in his arms.It can be said that it pays great attention to keeping warm.

"Very good." Lin Heng held her hand with a gentle tone.

A breeze blew through the half-closed curtains.The scene of the two holding hands was watched by the people on the road.

The boy has deep eyebrows and eyes, indifferent, but also with a bit of tenderness.The woman beside her had apricot eyes and willow brows, smiling warmly in the spring breeze.

"This majesty looks quite domineering."

"The queen doesn't look like a demon queen at all. I feel very comfortable looking at it."

"Yeah, she doesn't look coquettish at all, but dignified and majestic."

When the people said this to each other, they still did not forget to look at the empress who was high above them all the time.

When the group came to Manchun Garden, Lin Heng got out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped Cheng Muqing get off.The two stood still, and walked into the garden under the gaze of everyone.

The landscape of the garden is unique. Even though it is still winter, the garden is already a little bit green.

Evergreen trees stand on both sides of the road, marble is paved all the way, and the path winds and spreads to the huge pavilion.

There is a rolling curtain around the pavilion to keep out the wind. The curtain is embroidered with the good times of the seasons. The white marble pillars are smooth and flawless, and they are somewhat reflective under the sunlight.

"It's a good place." Cheng Mu said clearly.

"En." Lin Heng embraced her, turned to look at Xu Jin, "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, I deserve a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Jin quickly saluted.

Everyone entered the pavilion, and the high-quality silver carbon charcoal was burned inside the pavilion, which made the huge pavilion warm.

For this full moon banquet, Lin Heng invited all the officials and their families in Beijing and China.However, due to Lin Heng's wanton land surveying, the officials assessed it.As a result, many officials stepped down, and some new officials were transferred from other places.There are very few officials who actually attend the full moon banquet.

But fortunately, there are more officials in the Jin Dynasty, and some are missing, and the rest can still support the scene.

Lin Heng and Cheng Muqing sat in front of the stage, and the two were wearing black and gold dragon robes and phoenix robes of similar styles.

Xu Jin, as Minister of Rites, is the person in charge of this banquet.As soon as he was seated, he led all the officials to kneel down and worship.After the worship, there will be music playing, the sound of silk and bamboo is disturbing, and the music echoes in the Manchun Garden, which is mellow and reassuring.

"Everyone is here to participate in the princess's full moon banquet. I am very relieved." Lin Heng took the lead in raising his wine glass high, and drank it in one gulp in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the officials immediately toasted and said a lot of compliments.
