Emperor Chu was very sad when he looked at the smiling Empress Dowager Ji at this time, but he had nothing to do about his biological mother's stupidity from time to time.
After all, it was not the Empress Dowager Ji at the beginning, he could not ascend the throne, and later the Empress Dowager Ji kept his throne, and he could only try to satisfy all the ambitions of the Empress Dowager Ji.
"The queen mother, it's a matter of salt politics" As soon as Emperor Chu's words were spoken, he was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Ji, "A few salt citations, this is also the emperor's virtue and politics." ” Empress Dowager Ji has her own abacus, give face to King Yan at this time, once King Yan is in trouble in the future, he will not treat her too badly, maybe King Yan can still support her, Empress Dowager Ji just wants to be rich and honored in this life.
What's more, she was still worried that Gu Mingnuan would continue to make trouble at this time, and if she picked up her shortcomings, a few salt introductions would allow Princess Yan to come first, and she felt that it was a good deal.
Whether Xiao Yang interferes in the salt administration or not, that is a problem that the emperor wants to solve, and the people who are the Empress Dowager Ji can't interfere in it, but she is the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace Rongyang.
"Your Majesty."
Empress Zhao gently held Emperor Chu's trembling arm, and said softly and comfortingly: "In the future, Jiangnan is your territory after all. ” Emperor Chu was reluctant to bow his head, he could not be with Empress Zhao, and he had no confidence to prevent Xiao Yang from meddling in the salt administration.
The dignity of being a man and an emperor does not allow him to admit that he is inferior to the young Xiao Yang, although the government and the opposition recognize this, he still wants to show a strong and self-respecting side in front of the woman he loves.
Xiao Yang arched his hand to Gu Mingnuan, "Thank you, princess."
He also raised his eyebrows, and his eyebrows were affectionate in public, and his beautiful eyes were wrinkled and full of tenderness.
Emperor Chu almost crooked his nose in a fit of anger, is his grace good Xiao Yang must have done it on purpose, absolutely.
Gu Ming smiled softly, obviously warning Xiao Yang's gaze in the eyes of others, but it was so gentle.
Everyone present can understand the tacit understanding and affection between their husband and wife, there are envy, there are jealous, and more people feel beautiful, only King Yue poured a sip of wine, but the sweet wine was bitter in his mouth at this time, he faintly felt desperate, between Xiao Yang and Gu, can it really be separated "Queen Mother, this is a new tribute wine."
The palace attendant at the banquet held a tray, on which were placed a pair of wine glasses full of purple and gold wine, "Grade wine, even rarer than monkey wine." ” Empress Dowager Ji is not a greedy person, but she also likes to drink two glasses, especially the best wine.
She had heard of monkey wine, tasted it before, and still remembered the mellow and sweet taste, and even remembered the intoxicating pleasure after drinking, as if she had been comforted physically and mentally.
Gu Yan quietly poked Xiao Yang, and said playfully: "It's better than monkey wine" Xiao Yang replied lightly, "My father-in-law believes this."
Gu Yan shook his head, others didn't know, he didn't know that all the good wine in the world was in Xiao Yang's mastery, and the monkey wine that was rare for others to see, but Gu Yan could drink it freely.
"There are only these two cups brewed throughout the year, and they are specially paid tribute to the Queen Mother."
Fortunately, a sentence was added at the end, and Emperor Chu's face was a little soothed.
Empress Dowager Ji motioned to the palace people to bring the wine, and caught a glimpse of the envious eyes of the courtiers and wives, only the pleasure she could enjoy, and before she could taste the wine, she was drunk first.
"Emperor, you taste fine wine with the mourning family, if the emperor also likes it, the mourning family will let them prepare more tribute wine next year."
Empress Dowager Ji handed the wine glass to Emperor Chu, "Only our mother and son can enjoy it, Emperor, do you understand?"
Emperor Chu took the wine glass, the wine was fragrant, and there was a faint different fragrance, just smelling it, you could feel comfortable all over.
How could he not understand the words of the Empress Dowager Ji If it weren't for the emperor, he would have nothing, don't taste the rare wine in the world, I'm afraid he won't even have a place to live.
Bang, the wine glasses of Empress Dowager Ji and Emperor Chu bumped together, and the two raised their heads and drank the wine in the glass.
Gu Yansheng muttered, "How do you feel like it's not good, it seems that we have all become rebels, forcing the emperor and the queen mother" It's muttering, but Gu Yan's voice has always been very loud, and the courtiers are either smiling bitterly or laughing excitedly, but they are all desperately trying to hide it, and they all feel weird, only Gu Yan dares.
Emperor Chu flicked his wrist, no matter how good the wine was, it could only taste bitter, will there be a day when he was forced to drink the wine by the rebels Gu Mingnuan glared at his father fiercely, what is Queen Zhao gently swung her cuffs, Gu Yan's body was shocked, it was broken, and the two women who put it in their hearts seemed to be angry.
What can I do?
It's not okay not to let them lose their anger, Gu Yan subconsciously got up, Xiao Yang didn't hold it if he wanted to, only to see him kneeling in front of Emperor Chu, and said loudly: "The minister knows his mistake, if Your Majesty is in trouble, the minister is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and it is the duty of the forbidden army to defend Your Majesty to the death." ” Gu Mingnuan helplessly held his forehead, not daring to look at Emperor Chu's face, Gu Yan was telling the truth, wouldn't it make Emperor Chu even fool and act as if he hadn't heard it Father deliberately embarrassed Emperor Chu. took revenge for Niangniang, and was angry for Gu Yan himself.
"Your Majesty, why bother with the same bastard, King Yan is still there."
Empress Zhao's voice soothed the irritable Emperor Chu, she looked at Gu Yan condescendingly and coldly, and Emperor Chu could feel her disgust and disgust for Gu Yan on the side.
"Since the duty of the forbidden army is to defend the emperor, Commander Gu is still drinking at the banquet and still doesn't go to check the post."
Empress Zhao's eyes were full of coldness, Gu Yan touched her nose, and she seemed to be even more angry.
It was freezing outside, it was quite cold, and the wind was still very strong, Gu Yan shrunk his neck and said loudly: "Obey." ” Gu Yan strode away, and Empress Zhao glanced at Gu Mingnuan, "Let your father calm and calm, he has too many mouths." ” Gu Mingnuan bowed, "This is my father's duty.
"Let my father see Niangniang and Emperor Chu Luanfeng and Ming, it is a torment for my father, and Niangniang may not be able to let go of her hands and feet and deal with Emperor Chu wholeheartedly.
After all, they not only have children and daughters between them, but also have feelings themselves, even if they are not innocent and beautiful, but they are very deep and complex.
Xiao Yang didn't stand up for his father-in-law as usual, and Emperor Chu groped for the lines on the wine glass, thinking about the current situation.
With a bang, the tables and chairs overturned, the cups and chopsticks fell to the ground, the wine and vegetables were sprinkled on the ground, the vegetable juice splashed, and the Empress Dowager Ji was like a madman, waving her arms, her body twitched, the corners of her mouth were crooked, and her eyes were slanted, "It's hot, it's so hot to mourn." ” "The Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother."
"God, stop the Queen Mother."
Empress Zhao protected Emperor Chu, while letting the palace people hold down Empress Dowager Ji, and whispered in Emperor Chu's ear: "Your Majesty, be careful, the queen mother seems to be sick, don't get too close, leave everything to the concubines." ” Compared with the palace concubines, they all ran to the queen mother's side, only the queen still remembers him, "The emperor feels fine":
