The Qin family and the Feng family gathered in the Prince's Mansion, and the big guys had to celebrate together again, until it was dark outside, and everyone dispersed and went home.
Feng Yunshu's return to Beijing is naturally a good thing, and Qingya doesn't have to worry about it all day long.
However, Yun Shu is going to take the exam in February, although Yun Shu is not the kind of person who is immersed in hard study, but he is rarely detained by the Qi family to read at home, and even if he returns to Beijing, he does not have much opportunity to meet Qingya.
Qingya knew that Yun Shu studied hard, so she often stewed supplements and sent them to the Feng family.
Qi Shi was naturally very happy when he knew it, not to mention where to find Yun Shu in such a virtuous daughter-in-law, he drank all the supplements he sent in one go, and then smirked and studied hard.
It's not a thing to always work so hard, and the Qi family was also afraid that Yun Shu would be tired, so he asked Yun Shu to make an appointment with Qingya, and went to enjoy the lanterns together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
This year's lanterns are larger than last year's scale, on the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky is not yet dark, and the east and west streets in front of Chengtianmen are already brightly lit.
All kinds of colorful lanterns compete for colorful colors, stretching for miles, like a sea of lanterns.
At the fifteenth palace banquet of the first month, Shen Lingye and Qinghan had to go to the palace, of course, this time they didn't hold the child, only the husband and wife took a few girls.
The palace banquet was as grand and luxurious as ever, and the dishes on the banquet seemed to be more expensive than last year's.
Concubine De and Concubine Shu were ill and did not participate, but Concubine Li still sat next to the emperor, and the demon was coquettish, which attracted the attention of many ministers.
Many of the older ministers have seen the first queen, and then looking at this concubine who is somewhat similar to the first queen's appearance, I can't help but sigh a little.
The first queen is dignified and graceful, where is this demon concubine compared to looking at this demon concubine's pretentious posture, many people have some disgust in their hearts.
It's a pity that they are not emperors, and the emperor is fascinated by the eyes of Concubine Li.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, the emperor has been wise all his life, why is he confused now It's just a woman, how to pet and hurt in the harem is the emperor's ziyou, but on a big occasion such as a palace banquet, Concubine Li is still messing around, but it's really wrong.
Next to the emperor, only the queen can sit, even if Concubine Li is favored, she should sit aside, this is too unorthodox.
The big guy looked at the prince with a little helplessness and pity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good and outstanding, what is wrong with the emperor, he has to target His Royal Highness the Crown Prince everywhere From His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leading the troops back to Beijing, until now, the emperor has not said that His Royal Highness will go to the court to discuss politics, and he will not arrange any errands for the prince That's the crown prince, the prince of Daqi, if he doesn't let him get in touch with the government and doesn't let him experience, how will he take over Jiangshan Sheji in the future The upright old minister couldn't help it, and directly opened his mouth to advise, "Your Majesty, today is Shangyuan Festival, it should be a happy day for family reunion, and the minister shouldn't say much."
But the minister can't see these things that don't know the rules and don't abide by the law, and they must say it.
The Ministry of Rites stood up with a dark face and said.
"For all generations, only the queen can sit next to the emperor, and other concubines are not qualified to sit on an equal footing with His Majesty, which is a great crime of disrespect.
Concubine Li is just a kabuki from Northern Liao, with a lowly status, and her position is not even as good as the fourth concubine, why can she sit beside His Majesty Your Majesty is the king of a country and an example for the people of the world, does Your Majesty want the people of the capital and even the world to follow Your Majesty's example, and it is impossible to spoil concubines and destroy their wives?"
This Ministry of Rites Shangshu is not young, in his sixties and almost seventy, the emperor was already an official in the court when he was there, and his seniority and ability are enough, otherwise how could he be in the position of the Ministry of Rites for so long The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and it is these rules and etiquette that are emphasized, and people are also a little old-fashioned, how can they be used to seeing the emperor like this, so no matter what day it is, he will speak directly.
Sure enough, as soon as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke, the emperor's face was difficult to look at.
"Xu Aiqing, you just need to take care of the affairs of your Ministry of Rites, which concubine I am willing to pamper is my private matter, and others don't need to say much."
The emperor has boundless love for Concubine Li, and he can't wait to pick all the stars in the sky for her, where can he allow others to say that Concubine Li is not good "Your Majesty is the monarch of the world, how can there be any private affairs, but any matter of Your Majesty is a state affair, which is related to the country's society and the fortune of the country.
Your Majesty's every move has a far-reaching impact, and you should pay more attention to rules and etiquette, otherwise it will not make the people of the world laugh at you."
Since the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has been in the position of Shangshu for so many years, he naturally has his strength, so he will not be frightened by the emperor's words, but fight with reason.
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face became even more ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
At this time, Concubine Li beside her sobbed and cried and said, "Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault, the concubine doesn't know her identity, and the concubine should be self-aware."
The concubine is a plaything in the eyes of others, how can you be qualified to sit next to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please allow the concubine to leave the table, don't let the concubine affect the harmony between your monarchs and ministers.
With that, Concubine Li made a gesture to get up and leave.
The emperor grabbed Concubine Li, "Don't go, concubine, you are my favorite concubine, not a plaything, if anyone dares to say that, I will not spare it."
This world is mine, what I want is my ziyou, and others can't control it.
Today you are sitting next to me, and I want to see who dares to care."
As he spoke, the emperor turned his head to look at the Ministry of Rites.
"Master Xu, I remember that you are not young, you have been an official in the court for a long time, and you have always been loyal to the court, what you said today, I have the right to not hear it, and I will not pursue it.
Today is Shangyuan Festival, a good day for the whole world to celebrate, I don't want to have a liver fire with you, you better enjoy the wine and food. ” The emperor's words contained a warning, that is, to tell the Ministry of Rites Shangshu not to speak, otherwise it will anger the emperor, and you will look good.
However, since the Ministry of Rites Shangshu dared to stand up, how could it be that the person who was afraid of the emperor's words would not sit down when he saw this old man, but walked out of his seat.
"Your Majesty, Weichen persuaded him painstakingly, but for His Majesty's reputation and for the sake of the country's society."
"Where is the wisdom and wisdom of your majesty in the past, and where is the former diligence and simplicity Since this demon concubine entered the palace, the wealth rewarded by His Majesty has been sent to Yunxiu Palace like flowing water.
Okay, that's His Majesty's private treasury, and Your Majesty can do whatever you want.
But in order to please this demon concubine, Your Majesty held a lantern festival and fireworks this year, working the people and harming the people, is this kind of action done by Mingjun?"
"In the past three or five years, there has never been a lantern festival, but now this year's lantern festival is bigger and more luxurious than last year's.
This year, the Ministry of Industry was ordered to improve the fireworks used as signals on the battlefield and use them for fireworks.
Your Majesty, what are you going to do such extravagance, waste, and extravagance, and the treasury of Daqi is empty, how long can it last":
