female catcher

Chapter 198
There was a banquet in the palace, and Su Zhen gave him a toast of fine wine. He drank seven or eight cups. He felt a little dizzy after listening to the congratulations, so he asked An Liang to bring him some tea to sober up. drinking.

An Liang felt a little apprehensive, it was almost time now, he wanted to remind Su Zhen that he should go to Fengyi Palace, but he didn't know whether to speak, so he glanced at Su Zhen for a while.

Su Zhen drank half a cup unhurriedly, and said in a low voice: "I know." He put down the tea, pondered for a moment before standing up, "Let's go."

An Liang quickly winked at the little eunuch by the door, and the little eunuch led the waiting Jianyu outside the gate of the palace.There was another sound of congratulations and sending off, Su Zhen smiled and walked out, feeling like an actor.

After getting on the shoulder car, An Liang shouted angrily to show off, and Luan Yi walked slowly.Su Zhen propped his forehead halfway and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He suddenly heard the sound of a bird's wings startled halfway, so he opened his eyes and looked over.

"It's a magpie, Your Majesty." An Liang said with a smile, "It's a good sign for a magpie to climb a branch."

Su Zhen watched for a while, until he could no longer see the shadow of the magpie, then closed his eyes again.

Without the emperor at the palace banquet, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.It was a rare opportunity to gather so many courtiers and princes in ordinary days, and it was a good time to get familiar with each other, and those of lower rank raised their glasses and toasted around.

On the surface, it's all passable, and everyone looks like an old friend and confidant, but it's hard to tell what's on your mind when you turn your face.The new ministers and the old ministers were quite estranged, and the three provinces and the six ministries all secretly competed for strength. Although they were all good things to say about the big wedding, they all had their own thoughts.

The Jiang family is like the stock market, and now it is red. Some people think it is in full swing, but some people think it is the end of the battle. It is better to wait and see. A middle palace does not mean anything.

The documents for Jiang Xiyuan's demotion and transfer have not yet been issued, but the news has already spread. In addition, there are rumors that the Jiang family's personal soldiers will also be abolished, which seems to be more evidence of bad news.

This situation is very good, the Jiang family is showing signs of falling out of favor, so the surname Jiang in the middle palace will only make Su Zhen put up another layer of defense.In the past, those old ministers who used the flood to talk about their problems are much more tolerant today.

The powerful officials of the old dynasty have always been suppressed by Su Zhen. Fortunately, Jiang Xiyuan's ignorance caused trouble, and brought the Jiang family into trouble. Even Jiang Min was punished.Although Su Zhen's wrist was tough, he was still young after all, and he finally gave in after chasing after him fiercely. This made them feel very proud, and they had to make persistent efforts.

Xinchen felt that the Jiang family would still be the Jiang family if the Zhonggong hadn't collapsed.It was wrong for Jiang Xiyuan to mobilize his own soldiers, but the circumstances are justifiable, and the punishment is only temporary.Su Zhen's attitude has always been clear, how can he easily give in on the matter of power, there is still great hope.

Each of them felt that they had their own reasons, and no one looked down on others, and the words of Pi Liyang Qiu made the banquet very lively.

Jiang Yongwei was sitting in Fengyi Palace, her neck was sore and her stomach was so hungry that she couldn't see what was going on in the palace even if she covered her eyes with the hijab. sitting.

I don't know how long I waited until I heard someone announce "the emperor is coming", followed by a light knock on the door hinge, and the sound of bowing and asking for peace came.Yong Wei immediately put aside all the discomfort in her body, her heart was beating endlessly, she wanted to have a gentle and decent smile on her face, but her facial features seemed to be disobedient.

Until the hijab was lifted and the vision in front of her eyes suddenly opened, her smile was not well prepared.Su Zhen stood in front of her and looked at her quietly, neither surprised nor displeased, if she hadn't met Su Zhen, if it hadn't been for Su Zhen wearing a bright red wedding dress, she would probably have suspected that this person had gone wrong place.

She couldn't give Su Zhen a smile, her expression looked a little indifferent because of nervousness, she just glanced at it and then lowered her head.Mrs. Gao Ming and Miss Li Yi who were on the side felt a little bit heartbroken, and hurriedly ordered people to serve the wine, and said some auspicious words, fearing that something would happen to this lady, they hurriedly ran away after completing the procedure.

Su Zhen was lost in thought for a while looking at the celebrations that filled the room, and then he seemed to remember that there was another person in the room, so he turned his head and looked at her, "Are you tired?"

"Go back to the emperor, the concubine is not tired." Yong Wei said softly, looking at the velvet carpet of Albizia juliensis on the ground.

Su Zhen didn't speak any more, Yong Wei didn't dare to make a sound, the room was so quiet that she tried her best to hold her breath.After a long time, Yong Wei mustered up the courage to tilt her head slightly and said: "The concubine waits for the emperor to change clothes."

Su Zhen nodded and stood up, Yong Wei stepped forward slowly, held down the tension in her heart and carefully untied the belt, and leaned forward slightly while wrapping her hands around his waist, the phoenix crown brought her head a little, Almost fell on Su Zhen's chest.

Su Zhen took a step back, and simply raised his hand to stop her, "No need, let the queen let someone take the phoenix crown first." After speaking, he raised his voice and called An Liang in.

Yongwei felt a little uneasy, but she kept in mind the principle of being cautious in her words and deeds, and behaved with the etiquette of the middle palace, when she saw Su Zhen calling An Liang, she stepped back and called Qianqian in.

Qianqian helped Yongwei go to Fengguan and put it aside, then turned around and saw a strip of cotton stuck to her hair, she was startled, but Yongwei turned around and waited for her to go for herself Toga off.Qianqian was so anxious that she stepped forward and stuck behind Yongwei, whispering 'cotton cotton'.

Yongwei frowned because she didn't understand, she turned her head and said in a low voice: "Qianqian, please don't break the rules."

In that room, Su Zhen was looking up, Yong Wei couldn't see the top of her head, but he saw it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and turned his eyes away after a moment of doubt.

After changing his clothes, Su Zhen ordered An Liang to carry the papers he hadn't finished approving yesterday to the study outside.Hearing this, Yong Wei couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, and she backed away from the excitement and nervousness, but it was inconvenient to show it on her face, she turned around and took two steps forward to put her hands on her chest: "The emperor is working hard for the affairs of the state. This concubine will order someone to bring some refreshments."

Su Zhen looked at the top of her head, felt that the piece of white cotton was really an eyesore, he hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand, picked it off for her and threw it aside, said: "The queen arranged it." Then he turned and walked out.

The moment Su Zhen stretched out his hand just now, Yong Wei didn't know what he meant, she just felt her heart jump up suddenly, and she poked her neck forward cooperatively, but when she saw the cotton in Su Zhen's hand clearly, her heart immediately stopped. jumped.

She actually forgot!

"Qianqian!" As soon as Su Zhen left, Yong Wei stomped her feet lightly, her eyes filled with anxiety, and she lowered her voice, "Why..., why didn't you tell me! Why didn't you quickly take it off for me? !"

Qianqian felt wronged and didn't dare to refute, so she hugged her robe and knelt down, "I know I was wrong."

Yong Wei is ashamed and annoyed, but who is to blame for this, it's not all her bad idea!She sat down on the edge of the bed in a daze, and after a while, she lay down on the head of the bed with her face covered.I tried my best to leave a respectful and virtuous impression on my husband, I didn't know how many times I acted in front of the mirror with a frown and a smile, but I didn't expect that I would push a piece of cotton at the first sight.Now, it's all ruined!
Su Zhen didn't think about it so much, after flipping through the notes, he put all his heart on state affairs.

Right now, the money for disaster relief has been allocated to Qingcheng County, but it should not have arrived yet.The imperial court decreed that the surrounding unaffected counties and counties should first send grain to Qingcheng County to relieve the urgent need. The county guard reported that [-] porridge sheds had been set up and the situation was stable. The dead bodies of humans and animals had been sprinkled with lime and buried deeply. After the water recedes, we will rebuild things.In short, everything is fine, long live the emperor is wise.

Su Zhen threw the notebook aside, discounting what the sheriff said in his heart, the officials sent out to appease the people for inspection have not yet arrived in Qingcheng County, so he really dare not be too optimistic about the real situation.

It was already night after finishing the paperwork, he rubbed his forehead and leaned back on the chair, looked up at the layout of the room and remembered that today was his wedding day.Turning his head to see the pendant on his wrist, he took it off and put it in the palm of his hand.

He had already heard that Yue Xiaohong's case was closed, and Wang Huai, who caused the trouble, was beaten to death and exiled to Xihai.According to An Liang, the public opinion in Xijing City has completely turned around now, and everyone is talking about Xia Tutou's famous name.

He was really happy for her, and apart from being happy, he also felt regretful and disappointed. It was a pity that he couldn't do anything for her, and a pity that he couldn't say a word face to face.

Su Zhen thought, if she had talked about this incident with him back then, she would have had a smug expression, and then told him the case with great interest, smiling without pretense.Thinking about it, he seemed to have seen that bright smile, those clear eyes, and he unconsciously smiled.

The bright candle flickered lightly, and the wick burst out with a slight sound.When he came back to his senses, Su Zhen only had one pendant in his hand.He put it back on his wrist, sighed lightly, saw some untouched snacks on the table, and then thought of Yong Wei.

Now we have met each other, but they are not separated by a wall, but he still can't remember her appearance, but he remembers that strange piece of cotton.The queen's temperament seemed a little cautious and rigid, but it was not too annoying.Just having said that, what does it matter if you hate it or not?

She is Jiang Xiyuan's younger sister, a girl from the Jiang family.For him, she is a symbol, a signal.Just like tonight, even if he is not in the mood, he must stay in Fengyi Palace, no matter what he is doing in Fengyi Palace.

On the surface, he wants to snub the Jiang family, but he can't snub it to the point where the emperor and the empress are at odds. What kind of reaction can be elicited in any measure needs to be carefully considered.

This is my marriage, my wedding night.When the harem is full, when and which bed to go to has to be considered.It's really sad to think about it.

Su Zhen got up and walked into the inner room, where the arm-thick red candle was already half burned.Yong Wei was still sitting on the edge of the bed, but after a day of tossing around, she couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell asleep.

He walked lightly to the bed, took off his coat and lay down on the bed.The pillows and bed curtains were all bright red, and the silk and satin were slippery and cold. Su Zhen lay down for a while and then looked at Yong Wei who was leaning against the bed, hesitated for a moment, turned over, supported her shoulders and put her on the bed.

Yong Wei snorted and did not wake up, so Su Zhen lay back down again, rolled over and closed her eyes.When she opened her eyes again in the morning, Yong Wei had already put on Di Yi's clothes, and stood respectfully beside the bed with her sleeves folded. When she saw him wake up, she lowered her head, "My concubine is waiting for the emperor to get up. Eunuch An just told his concubine that he will be ready at Mao's time." Go to Fengxian Hall."

Su Zhen sat up, and Yong Wei called the palace servants to come in to take care of washing and changing clothes, and quietly had breakfast with him, and then went to Fengxian Hall together.
