The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

The last day of Yuanhe 35, New Year's Eve.

The rare decorations in the palace.

In the past ten years, the emperor felt that the extravagance of the harem should be rectified.

Therefore, many places in the palace are mainly for maintenance, and there is no extensive repair.

Including many times during the Chinese New Year, the whole family spent it in Yihua Palace.

This year, it has changed from the previous low-key, and the Huasheng Building where the palace banquet will be held is very beautifully decorated.

Hundreds of palace lanterns set off the magnificent and beautiful hall.

The emperor sits high on the dragon chair at the head, showing the majesty of the emperor.

There was one and only one phoenix chair next to it, and the person sitting there was naturally Lin Wanyi who was dressed up to attend.

Even though she is only titled as a noble concubine now, none of her outfits and arrangements is not a queen, even surpassing what a queen can have.

Therefore, the imperial concubine looks very harmonious.

The left and right sides of the lower head were also full of people.

The prince is respected, so he is naturally the first one on the right, and today he is also wearing the prince's court clothes, and the dignity of the Tian family is not lost in the heroic martial arts.

And beside him are Han Wang and his wife, Pei Wang and his wife, Lin Xiruo and his wife, and the third princess.

As for behind them, those who sat were the relatives of the East Palace and the palace.

Looking at the past, the courtiers respected the four princesses.

This year, the Fourth Prince and King Xiao both had military duties and were unable to come back, so they were missing from the palace banquet.

But many new faces have been added.

For example, Li Guogong and his wife who had already married their daughter to King Pei, and Lin Zong's future father-in-law and mother-in-law General Dezhaoda and his wife.

As for other Lin Xingzhi and his wife, Feng's couple, Mrs. Rongchang Earl's Mansion, Uncle Lin and his wife, Imperial Physician Dou and the Dong family, etc.

It's the face of Changju, so there's nothing special about it.

With such a total of left and right, there are dozens of people.

Men, women and children, all of whom are related to the royal family, seem to be particularly lively tonight.

There are fine wines and delicacies in front of the table, and there are singing and dancing in the hall.

The children were also watching the performance with great interest, especially Hua Ling, who sat upright today.

The style of the royal princess is well grasped.

As for her siblings, they are too young, so they are still accompanied by wet nurses.

But it was all quiet and there was no noise.

Lin Wanyi glanced at everyone, her brows and eyes were mostly peaceful and joyful.

Especially after taking a look at Pei Wang and his wife who had just got married not long ago, they were singing in harmony, and the husband and wife followed suit.

I can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Now that Xiao Si's marriage is over, among all the children, only the third princess and King Xiao are still unaccounted for.

As for the prince, she seems to be alone at the moment, but she has heard a little bit about it in the harem, and it is said that she has been running diligently to Zeng's house recently.

Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that in a year at most, the Crown Princess will have a clue.

So she was in no hurry.

The emperor's face was usually serious, but today he relaxed a lot.

While watching the singing and dancing, he did not forget to talk sideways to Lin Wanyi.

For a while, he praised the dish as well, and for a while, he said that Hualing's etiquette was well taught.

Lin Wanyi listened quietly, cooperating with a few words from time to time.

It made the palace banquet more joyful.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor stood up, held a glass of palace jade wine in his hand and said loudly.

"Nowadays, the world is peaceful and the people are rich. I can't do without the love of ministers, civil servants and virtuous generals. They are all God's gifts to me. I have a glass of thin wine. I respect you, respect the people, and respect the Great Wei!"

Seeing this, everyone immediately got up and took drinks or fruit wine, and replied loudly to the emperor.

"Respect the emperor, respect the people, respect the Great Wei!"

When you drink enough wine, you are content.

Dong Yuzhong came in from outside the hall and stood beside the emperor and replied in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the fireworks are all ready, but now move to see them?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes, the slave obeys."

The emperor got up together, and Dong Yuzhong followed closely behind.

"The firework show on New Year's Eve has been prepared. Please, my lords, move outside the hall to share the grand event with the emperor and concubine."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

In a mighty manner, a group of people left the hall.

Standing on the Baiyuhan stone stand outside the main hall, he waited quietly.

After a while, the fireworks show began.

Since the emperor came to the throne, there will be a grand fireworks show every year on New Year's Eve.

And the fireworks are different every year.

Sometimes it is dominated by dragons and phoenixes, and sometimes it is dominated by the blooming of a hundred flowers.

This year, however, is different.

From the very beginning, the four big characters "Peace and Prosperity" resounded in the sky, which amazed everyone for a while.

I have seen more fireworks with patterns, and this year there are rare fireworks with fonts, and everyone is very excited.

And these are gratifying in the eyes of the emperor.

Looking at the prince beside him, he said.

"Well done."

The prince chuckled, but he was not greedy for merit.

"This plan was conceived by the second brother and the fourth brother. Master Zeng provided the solution. The servants just found some skilled craftsmen. They should not be praised by the emperor, but they should be praised."

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at the prince with gratified eyebrows.

With 1 wishes in his heart, he immediately ascended the throne.

And they will also follow the new emperor to jointly create a new prosperity and peace.

The emperor looked up at the sky, and tightly held Lin Wanyi's hand beside him.

Now, he has everything in the world, people, lovers, children, loyal ministers, good generals, and territories.

It seems that it is time for the torrent to retreat bravely.

It's just that there are still two things that have not been done. After finishing these two things, he will "abdicate to the virtuous".

He didn't want to be trapped in this palace all his life, he didn't want to be driven by power forever, and for the rest of his life, he wanted to change his way of life.

So, looking at Lin Wanyi, he held her with more strength in his hand.

Lin Wanyi felt it, turned her head to look over, and asked with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Seeing the fireworks in Lin Wanyi's eyes, the emperor smiled tenderly.

Immediately afterwards, a message was announced in front of everyone.

"In March of this year, I will take the imperial concubine, Pei Wang and his wife and princesses on a southern tour. One is to see the queen mother, and the other is to see the situation of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. So after the opening of the dynasty next year, all matters will be handed over to the crown prince. Deal with it, after he gets married, I can also retire."

As soon as these words came out, some people were clear in their hearts, while others were slightly shocked.

But none of the people present objected.

The prince's expression was also quite calm, obviously he knew about his father's move in advance.

So, he took the lead and said respectfully to the emperor.

"My son will definitely live up to his mission."

Seeing this, all the ministers and princes also knelt down consciously and said in unison.

"The ministers obey the order."

Wu Yangyang fell to his knees, and in the night, the emperor and Lin Wanyi stood in the middle, peaceful.
