After the lazy emperor

Chapter 160 The Prelude to the Night Banquet

This year's Lantern Festival banquet is very different from previous years. The only thing to be happy about is Yushuo's defeat of Ruishang.

Tonight, the imperial garden was newly decorated, and it was as bright as daytime. The palace servants walked back and forth in it, serving the ministers and masters to drink tea and wine. Although the weather was severe, it did not cool down the enthusiasm of everyone talking.

The bright fireworks are fleeting, leaving beautiful footprints in the dark night sky, and the sparks of the stars are amazing, as if only a fleeting beauty will be forever remembered by people.

At this time, the most talked about is the glory of the Yao family and the position of the empress. Just now Yao Huan came late, and His Majesty just said something casually, and forgive him the crime of disrespect. The status of the Yao family is naturally higher than that of the Liang family. If the noble concubine Hua is the emperor again, the Yao family will become the largest family of Yushuo. What kind of honor and favor really makes people jealous and envious. The concubine Hua Gui in the dress sat tenderly and considerately on the side of the emperor, her delicate and charming face looked even more charming than Concubine Mei Gui.

Uncle Liang Guo's smile was a bit forced. Seeing more and more people complimenting the Yao family, he couldn't hold back his face. He squinted and saw the daughter who was facing the emperor. After going down, he raised his neck unwillingly and drank the fine nectar, but the taste was bitter.

Yushuo defeated Ruishang, Yushuo was the weakest of the four countries, at least in terms of situation, but who knew he could defeat Ruishang?Dian Ye, who is a neighboring country, naturally has a different view of Yushuo. The emperor came to Yushuo's annual Lantern Festival in the name of congratulations, but he just wanted to find out about Yushuo.

Seeing Emperor Yu Shuo for the first time, that man who was about the same age as him had a majestic and majestic aura that made him feel awe and subdued. His coquettish and handsome face was always dangerous. The sharpness of the lips, the corners of the lips are half-twitched, and people will feel the heavy oppression in an instant. Such a person rules Yushuo, and the world has to re-examine Yushuo's existence.

Ye Qingfeng glanced sideways at the evil, beautiful and lazy man on the throne, holding a jade cup of wine and smiling slightly, his faint eyes swept across the lively but not daring scene below, his long and narrow eyes, deep It was like a thousand-year-old deep lake, fascinating but dangerous, and the rest of his expression seemed to be watching a good show.

The two flower-like concubines leaned to one side, but they couldn't get him to squint. No wonder Feng Ning's existence was regarded as illusory. Such a cold-hearted person is ruthless at all. So, why is Feng Ning's good looks so favored?How can a woman as intelligent and high-quality as Feng Ning tolerate her relatives ignoring her own existence?Could it be because of the unparalleled emperor's face?With a slight sigh, I have never felt such a failure before.

Inadvertently, I saw Prime Minister Nalan Qinghong standing in front of a cluster of Danxia, ​​surrounded by clusters of petals like sunset glow, so that he seemed a little lonely, both courtiers, daughters and concubines, although Liang Guojiu had no wife Many people complimented him, so no matter what, people were not idle. Looking at this Nalan Qinghong, who was regarded as a veteran of the court, but received such treatment, he felt sympathetic, and brought the cup to his side, "Master Prime Minister."

Hearing the sound, Nalan Qinghong glanced sideways, seeing that it was Ye Qingfeng, the gentle and polite Second Prince, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is polite."

"My lord, you don't have to be polite. Now that Qingfeng is in Yushuo, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope the prime minister will point it out."

Nalan Qinghong's impression of Ye Qingfeng was extremely good. This is his ideal son-in-law candidate. He thought that Feng'er was favored a few days ago and would not make her feel lonely in the palace. In just a few days, Feng'er was left aside again. The Ye Qingfeng in front of him was very attractive to him, but it was a pity that he had met by fate, but he had no fate with his son-in-law. Weng sighed and raised his glass, "Second Majesty's behavior , can be a model for future generations, and the old minister toasts you."

Hearing the rumor, Ye Qing was flattered and touched Nalan Qinghong's cup, "I should respect you, please."

He drank all the wine in one gulp, only he knew what it was like, the maid poured the wine again, Ye Qingfeng really wanted to know something about Feng Ning, but he couldn't ask directly, so he just said casually: " Why haven't you seen Concubine Ning come here, because of my relationship, she was punished by His Majesty two days ago, Qingfeng is really sorry, and wants to ask her face to face."

Nalan Qinghong has already heard about the fact that the Imperial Garden was involved in politics again, and that he was absent from the New Year's Eve. His daughter, who was held too casually and spoke too leisurely, knew that she was by the emperor's side, and one day she would cause trouble. The accident, but I did not expect to offend the two noble concubines, and made the emperor angry, which really made him sleepless and sleepy with worry, his eyebrows raised with worry, full of fear and anxiety in the frown, the emperor should go down to the noble concubine Hua The news that Feng Ning will be dealt with before the Lantern Festival is already an open secret, and tonight is the deadline. How will the transformed emperor punish her daughter? "Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with Your Highness. Father Mo Ruo, the daughter-in-law, ordered her to enter the palace to serve the emperor. I originally refused, but to refuse is to deceive the emperor. Feng'er said that she is not afraid of bullying the emperor, but just doesn't want to. My old bones suffer, but I also know that with Feng'er's temperament, she is quiet in the harem. If anyone disturbs her tranquility, no matter who it is, she will not pay attention to it. Companion Tiger, I don't ask her to be favored, I just want her to be safe and sound."

Ye Qingfeng lowered her eyes and sighed softly, she didn't expect the Prime Minister to confide such words, since that was the case, why did she still insist on returning to the palace? "Master Prime Minister, don't worry, auspicious people have their own appearance, and Concubine Ning will be safe and sound."

Recalling those rumors again, Nalan Qinghong lowered his eyebrows, as if he was about to say something, but was snatched away, "Second Highness, oh, so the Prime Minister is also there. "

Now his Yao family is so famous that even a younger generation dares to disrespect him. Hearing this sarcasm, Nalan Qinghong felt helpless, but he had no choice but to smile, "General Yao."

"What's the matter, Prime Minister? On such a beautiful night, what makes you frown?

Yao Huan was already young, but now that he has made military exploits again, his tone of voice became a little angry, and Ye Qingfeng said with some displeasure: "General Yao, the Prime Minister is an important minister of the dynasty, and if you frown, you are worried about state affairs. Don't you think it's overstepping the rules when you ask in such a tone?"

When Yao Huan heard this, he couldn't help being a little puzzled. What kind of tone did he speak to Nalan Qinghong, and what kind of displeasure and anger did he have?Anyway, he has to leave in two days, and he has no need to offend a prince from a neighboring country, but Nalan Qinghong often challenged his father in the court, so how could such a good opportunity be missed, saying: "Second Highness What I said is very true, just because it was rumored in the palace that His Majesty will punish Concubine Ning for her crimes before the Lantern Festival, this general thought that the prime minister was troubled by this, but it turned out that this general was wrong, I am really sorry."

"You——" Nalan Qinghong's heart froze, and his heart that was already hanging was pulled up because of Yao Huan's words. He glared at Yao Huan, and tried his best to hold back in front of His Majesty and all civil and military officials. Full of anger.

Ye Qingfeng gently supported Nalan Qinghong, looked at Yao Huan with a slightly unkind expression, and heard Yao Huan continue to say: "Master Prime Minister, don't worry, if Your Majesty really intends to deal with Concubine Ning, this general will be fine." You can ask Concubine Hua Gui to speak kind words for her and intercede with His Majesty on her behalf."

Nalan Qinghong raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the noble and indifferent emperor for a moment. His posture was habitually lazy and casual, and his blue eyes were still deep and quiet, making people feel unpredictable fear, and then he closed his eyes He sneered and said: "The general has only been standing in the hall for a few days, no wonder he doesn't know something. If His Majesty wants to punish anyone, it will be his turn to speak kindly."

It is worthy of his father to say that he is an old fox, and his reaction is as cunning and quick as a fox. However, he is not afraid of his status at this time, and said brazenly: "Master Prime Minister, did you make a mistake? This Concubine Ning is your treasure." The only daughter, you are so sure of His Majesty's temperament, do you really hope that she will have troubles? You must know that being absent from the New Year's Eve and intervening in the harem's politics is a serious crime related to life."

"You—." Hearing this, Nalan Qinghong was so angry at Yao Huan's exaggerated words that he could only salute with angry eyes, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed down.

Yao Huan smiled triumphantly, and was very satisfied with the Prime Minister's angry expression at this moment. At this moment, a palace servant approached Nalan Qinghong with a snack, and said politely: "Master Prime Minister, please use it."

Hearing the sound, Nalan Qinghong squinted his eyes. It turned out to be bamboo plums. He saw that the dessert on the brocade plate was sweet cakes. I remember that this is a kind of food that Feng'er likes very much outside the palace, thinking of Feng'er, I feel distressed and anxious, hold a piece in my hand, and take a bite for peace of mind.

There were only two pieces of dim sum on the plate, Nalan Qinghong had one, and he gave Ye Qingfeng another piece, so the plate was empty, Ye Qingfeng took a bite, and said with a satisfied jaw that it was delicious, and it was Nalan Qinghong gave it to Ye Qingfeng with his own hands. He was still in front of him, and he looked a little embarrassed. Yao Huan looked at Zhumei displeased, "Go and get a share for this general." The slight anger made her ignore it. This sweet and sour smell has been smelled there.

Zhumei quickly followed up: "No more."

Yao Huan heard that the palace maid who dared to speak like this actually told him, a general, that if there is no one, there will be none. Nalan Qinghong burst out with anger at his neglect, and raised his hands, " Pa——." A crisp slap fell on Zhumei's face, and because of this slap, the lively scene immediately quieted down a lot, and Yao Huan said angrily: "Okay, you bitch, you are Who gave you the guts to talk to this general like this?"

"Huh—." A cold moan floated in the air, and then the ethereal, clear and flawless tone was immersed in the ears. A woman said calmly, "General Yao is such a powerful official."
