Facing Su Lijin's question, Tantai Chun directly shook his head and said bluntly, "I don't know either."

Tantai Chun also had no idea what was recorded on the ledger.

Presumably Zhang Wenfeng is cunning, suspicious, and extremely cautious, and would not tell him what the account book is about.

After all, Zhang Wenfeng should not easily trust even those who seem to have nothing to do with the court.

Thinking of this, one can understand Tantai Chun's state of ignorance.

Knowing that Tantai Chun didn't hide anything, Su Lijin nodded and said, "What's so special about that account book? Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find it in this huge cold palace."

Although the Lenggong was ruined, it was still a palace after all, and it was not easy to find a ledger in a short period of time.

She was a little worried about whether Tantai Chun could find him.

Tan Taichun frowned slightly: "Zhang Wenfeng only told me that it was a ledger with a blue cover, so that's all I know."

"Blue cover?" Su Lijin stared at the books that fell on the ground. There were piles of books, layered on top of each other, and there was no blue cover for the time being.

Nodding his head, Tantai Chun continued to rummage through his hands, and said, "It's a pity that we don't have much time, otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry."

When it came to the time, Su Lijin glanced outside, her heart tightened slightly, she had been out for too long.

Over time, others will inevitably become suspicious.

She was a little worried that if she stayed any longer, she might attract someone.

Moreover, it will be hard to explain when I go back.

After all, this was her birthday party, and it was really unreasonable for her to be absent for a long time as the main character.

After thinking about it, Su Lijin had no choice but to say: "I have been out for too long, I have to go back."

Tantai Chun cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, don't worry, go back, I can just look here by myself."

"Be careful, don't be found out."

Walking to the door, Su Lijin turned her head and said: "If you find that account book, you first hand it to the maid of the palace, Xianxian."

She was really worried, worried about what the prime minister would do if he found the ledger.

If she got the account book first and learned the contents of the account book, she would know what the prime minister was thinking.

She has to be the first to strike first, and there is a better chance of winning if she is one step ahead.

Glancing at her, Tantai Chun naturally understood what she meant, and nodded in agreement.

Su Lijin left the cold palace, quietly went to the changing side, and from there, returned to the birthday banquet.

She went around in such a circle to avoid being discovered that she had just gone to the cold palace.

Now that she has made a detour, even if someone sees her on the way back, they will only think that she really went to change clothes.

Seeing her take a seat, Xiao Shengyun's dark eyes flickered, but he didn't ask anything, he just said: "Queen, next, it's time for the ministers to present you a present."

Su Lijin raised her eyes and smiled lightly, her expression was the same as usual: "Well, just follow the procedure arranged by the emperor."

The gift from the officials is the climax of the banquet.

The officials headed by the prime minister offered their congratulatory gifts one after another.

Because it was the queen's birthday banquet, most of the congratulatory gifts were rare antiques, gold, silver and jade articles that symbolized good fortune and longevity, and the others were women's accessories that fit one's preferences.

The congratulatory gifts were carried up and walked around one by one, and they all looked extremely expensive, even if some were of lower value, they all had a sense of refinement and nobility.

This time, they have spent a lot of money.

After seeing these gifts, Su Lijin had a smile in her eyes and was in a happy mood.

Xiao Shengyun looked at the smile on her face, and his black eyes were slightly satisfied.

What she didn't know was that Xiao Shengyun had already issued an order to organize the birthday banquet in person this time, and he must satisfy the queen.

How can these officials dare not follow the order?

So there was the grand scene of giving gifts today.

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded suddenly, everyone looked around, but saw Ye Shuyin got up from her seat with a smile, walked up to him and said: "My daughter Ye Shuyin, I wish the empress a long life forever."

Immediately there were discussions from the side, and Ye Shuyin looked at Ye Shuyin with a bit of curiosity.

They were all curious about Ye Shuyin's sudden celebration of his birthday, if there were other actions.

Su Li's eyes did not move, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: "Miss Ye has a heart."

Xiao Shengyun also cast a glance at her, his face was as usual.

Ye Shuyin didn't back down, but raised her hand to clap.

Following her movements, several people came over carrying a box immediately.

"Empress Empress, my servant has specially prepared some congratulatory gifts, please accept them with a smile."

Opening the box, there was a burst of dazzling light inside the box.

Inside, it turned out to be a huge night pearl the size of a whole box!

Such a size is almost rare in the world!
"Isn't this Ye Mingzhu too big?"

"Such a big night pearl is worth more than a city, right?"

Everyone gasped, looked at Ye Mingzhu in shock, and then at Ye Shuyin.

For a moment, Ye Shuyin became the focus of the audience, and everyone was looking at her, wondering how she would come up with such an expensive gift.

Xiao Shengyun glanced at her black eyes: "Miss Ye, what's the matter with you sending such a big luminous pearl to the queen?"

He saw through Ye Shuyin's hidden thoughts under Ye Shuyin's smile, and asked directly.

Su Lijin glanced at him sideways, with a little surprise in her eyes, she thought to herself, how does the emperor know that she thinks the same way?
Ye Shuyin sent such an expensive gift, there must be something wrong, otherwise, she would not be able to show her courtesy for nothing, and she even bled so hard to prevent it.

For the past two lifetimes, she has somewhat understood Ye Shuyin's thoughts.

"Miss Ye, do you have something to ask me?" Su Lijin said more directly.

Looking up with satisfaction, Ye Shuyin's heart beat extremely fast, and excitedly cast a silly look in Xiao Zhaolin's direction, then nodded: "I want to use this congratulatory gift in exchange for a promise from the empress."

Taking a panoramic view of her thoughts, the corners of Su Lijin's lips curled up when she thought of something: "Miss Ye is sincere, I promise you."

Xiao Shengyun looked at her in surprise: "Queen, she hasn't said what promise she made yet."

Su Lijin smiled at him, not caring.

Everyone was even more shocked, watching Ye Shuyin knelt down excitedly and said, "My daughter wants the emperor and the empress to marry me, so that my daughter can marry His Highness!"

boom!
Everyone's eyes widened, and they turned their gazes to Xiao Zhaolin.

Xiao Zhaolin looked at the scene before him in astonishment, never expecting that Ye Shuyin would make such a request.

A haze flashed in his eyes, and he said hastily: "I have only a brother-sister relationship with Miss Ye, and we cannot get married."

Ye Shuyin turned sideways, her eyes a little sore: "Your Highness..."

The atmosphere was at a stalemate, and suddenly, a voice came from the dragon chair: "I think this is a good marriage, so I agree on behalf of the queen, and let you get married immediately!"

Xiao Zhaolin looked at Xiao Shengyun suddenly, his eyes were full of disbelief, and then his face darkened: "Your Majesty!"

Ignoring his gaze, Xiao Shengyun only looked at Su Lijin with a very happy expression on his face.

"My daughter thanked the emperor, and thanked the empress!" Ye Shuyin was overjoyed, and quickly knelt and kowtowed.

Completely ignoring Xiao Zhaolin's act of not marrying just now, she just thought, as long as she gets married, then Xiao Zhaolin will be hers!

The two are scheduled to get married next month.

Su Lijin looked at Xiao Zhaolin, whose face was dark all the time, knowing that he was unwilling, but her eyes were even more cheerful.

She said loudly: "I'm happy today, so I will buy Miss Ye 5000 taels of gold as a dowry."

Everyone looked at Ye Shuyin enviously, such a high dowry is really magnificent!
Xiao Zhaolin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked uglier than the bottom of the pot.
