    ¡°It¡¯s really well-deserved.¡±

    Night shrouded the palace, and the emperor's eyes seemed to be shining brightly. During the day, the shock brought by Mrs. Chu's entry into the palace had not dissipated.

    But I can¡¯t remember what it looks like specifically, it¡¯s just beauty itself.

    Presumably everyone in the palace was like this at that time.

    But what he envied was not the appearance, but another kind of beauty.

    The emperor put his hands on his knees, looking distant and lost in thought for a moment, and then sighed again.

    "Mrs. Chu, you are so majestic."

    There were rumors and descriptions of Mrs. Chu's various actions from setting off to traveling to the city. The emperor also heard them with his own ears, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

    "Such a luxurious carriage, driving on the road wantonly."

    "You can go if you want to, stop if you want to, enjoy the water when you encounter it, and see the mountains when you see them."

    "The banner is fierce, and the officials and family members are here to pay their respects."

    "Oh, there is also some kind of rabbit spirit and deer spirit that shows up and bows down to her."

    How is she like him? She hides her movements day and night and hides her movements. People and ghosts retreat. Mrs. Chu¡¯s face is wrapped up, but everyone sees her, even the spirits come to see her.

    "When I left the capital as King of Lu, I was not so wanton."

    Hu Ping sighed at the side: "This style is comparable to that of when His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine traveled together."

    The emperor smiled: "Back then, we didn't need so many soldiers and horses to travel."

    At that time, the world was peaceful, and the late emperor had fun with the people many times, and even took his concubine to the night market

    Both the emperor and the eunuch were caught up in reminiscing about the past, and the more they reminisced, the more emotional they became They were living in dire straits, and only Mrs. Chu's life was glorious.

    Hu Ping said: "Ankangshan is dead. Everything will be fine when your Majesty returns to Beijing!"

    That's not necessarily true. With certain people around, he would not have an easy time returning to the capital. The emperor sighed: "The thieves have been causing harm for four years. Great Xia has suffered a lot. The people are in dire straits and are riddled with wounds. There is a long way to go after returning to the capital. Let's recuperate first.  Get better slowly."

    Hu Ping nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

    The emperor waved his hand: "I am not working hard, the people of Li are working hard, as well as the civil servants and generals such as Prime Minister Cui, Mrs. Chu Guo"

    He stopped to look at Hu Ping.

    "Have the preparations started for the banquet?"

    When Mrs. Chu came to see her, the emperor naturally wanted to take care of her.

    Hu Ping responded: "Everything is ready. Your Majesty, don't worry, they are all the best"

    At this point he sighed again.

    "The best of us are afraid that Mrs. Chu will not be interested in her. I even went to the street to see the goods that those merchants claimed to be Mrs. Chu's favorite. Your Majesty"

    He looked at the emperor and spread his hands.

    "We can't afford it."

    The emperor was poor. Even if Songzhou had full warehouses at this time, they could not use them for banquets.

    The emperor stood up and said: "It doesn't matter, it's best if you come to your heart. I'll go see the empress and ask her to take the concubines to work hard."

    Since King Lu ascended the throne, he has not been to the harem and rarely met the Queen. He only communicated through the eunuchs and maids.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    There is a rift between the emperor and the queen.

    Now in order to entertain Mrs. Chu, the emperor has to bow his head to the empress.

    Hu Ping's response to His Majesty's aggrievement was to call for people to carry lanterns and place them in the harem.

    The lights moved slowly in the house, the dim lights in the backyard came on, and the sound of machines that kept going day and night stopped.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Because of the arrival of Mrs. Chu, many people have trouble sleeping tonight.

    Mrs. Chu lived in a house arranged by the imperial court. Before she moved in, the soldiers and officials who arrived first rearranged the place.

    Li Minglou didn¡¯t sleep either. He put on soft pajamas, spread his hair, applied medicine to his arm, and wrapped a wound cloth

    Under the lamp, a layer of black and red medicinal powder was applied to the smooth and jade-like arm, and then wrapped in a white cloth. It looked very strange.

    Yuan Ji¡¯s face was full of worry: ¡°Miss, has the wound healed?¡±

    He couldn¡¯t see anything, and he even called the bag to look at it. He couldn¡¯t see the bag that could knock away the monk¡¯s wooden stick

    "Much better." Li Minglou said, raising his arm and blowing on it gently, then smiled at Yuanji, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???Why do you want to look at Mrs. Chu? The person above told him to keep an eye on this Ayu. After all, he is from outside and needs to be wary. It is said that he has a grudge against Han Xu. Han Xu has a close relationship with Mrs. Chu

    That's right, the eunuch smiled and couldn't let him refuse anymore, and came up with temptation: "When the time comes, I will let you wait behind Mrs. Chu, and see clearly!"

    Without hesitation, he pulled her away.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The excitement during the day continued into the night, with lights on in many places in the palace and people walking around.

    "Is there a midnight snack today?"

    The patrolling guards walked past a place and smelled the fragrance and asked the eunuchs who came over carrying food boxes.

    "It's not a late night snack."

    "It's a test dish."

    ?????????????????????????????????  Zhong Qi walked out of the queue, stretched out his hand and said, "Let me try!"

    The eunuchs were busy trying to get out of the way. Although they knew that this general was the emperor's new favorite, they still had reasons to refuse Everyone wanted to try more of the dishes.

    "It was sent to the Queen for a taste."

    ¡°There¡¯s a banquet tomorrow night, so I don¡¯t dare to delay.¡±

    Hearing the news from the Queen, Zhong Qi took back his hand and let the eunuchs pass.

    The leader of the imperial guard greeted him in front, and Zhong Qi hurriedly led the people over.

    Because of the shortage of troops and horses, the emperor did not expand the number of imperial guards, and the only ones left behind were the old people of the Lu Palace.

    "General Xiao Qi." The leader of the imperial guards said, "We will send more people to the banquet tomorrow. Let's get familiar with the environment first."

    Zhong Qi smiled and said, don't worry, and asked in a low voice: "Who else has your Majesty sent additional manpower?"

    The leader of the imperial guard smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's only yours. Governor Li is still out hunting for the rebels."

    He reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

    "This is your Majesty's trust in you."

    Zhongqi smiled happily: "I understand!" He saluted the leader of the guards and said, "Brother, please take care of me."

    The leader of the imperial guard said: "Just follow my arrangements."

    Zhongqi responded, and the leader of the imperial guard led the people over. Zhongqi continued to move forward. In the night, a eunuch stood on the side of the road to check the lights. Zhongqi walked to him and stopped.

    He asked in a low voice: "Is there no problem?"

    He lowered his head and said, "No problem."

    Zhong Qi wandered away, then raised his head, his expression dark and unclear, he turned off the lamp and disappeared into the darkness.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When Li Minglou walked into the palace again, there were no civil and military officials, and it was much quieter than the last time. With the sunset, there was another kind of excitement.

    Groups of eunuchs and palace maids gathered in groups, holding lanterns and carrying flowers to guide the way. There was faint sound of music in the distance.

    The banquet was not placed in the main hall, but in the Queen's courtyard.

    Cui Zheng stood outside the door and looked at the approaching woman.

    "Prime Minister." Li Minglou leaned over and saluted.

    Cui Zheng returned the gift: "Madam, please."

    Yuan Ji lowered his head and retreated to the corridor. Li Minglou was no longer polite and walked into the room first. The interior decoration was simple and spacious.

    At this time, three seats were placed on both sides, with the emperor and queen at the top. There were musicians sitting behind the screen, playing soft music.

    Cui Zheng took the two seats on the left, and Li Minglou took the one seat on the right.

    "Compared with Madam's daily life, isn't it simple?" Cui Zheng sat down and said, "Songzhou is a small town in a hurry."

    Li Minglou did not deny or feel ashamed, and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, the imperial palace in the capital has been renovated. It will be restored to its grand splendor as soon as His Majesty returns to the palace."

    Cui Zhengdao: "Shengjing is not only about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also about the management of people's livelihood. Why did you let Wu and Zheng supervise the repairs?"

    Li Minglou said calmly: "That's because they can't do anything else well."

    Cui Zheng frowned: "Wu and Zheng have been officials for many years, how can you judge at such a young age?"

    Li Minglou looked at him: "Prime Minister, Mr. Wu Zheng has been an official in the peaceful and prosperous times for many years. These troubled times are different. Although I am young, I have done pretty well in the past few years. Otherwise, I would not have been granted the title of Chu Kingdom."  The lady rules a place.¡±

    As expected, Cui Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me ask you, what happened to the Emperor's Seal?"

    Li Minglou looked at him and smiled: "Who gave me the Emperor's Seal? Does the Prime Minister know very well?"

    He actually admitted it!  Cui Zheng stood up: "Then you still dare to talk nonsense?"

    "I didn't." Li Minglou said, "King Zhao told me so."

    Cui Zheng crossed the seat and stepped over: "You are talking nonsense! How could King Zhao say that!"

    Li Minglou sat still and said, "If you don't believe me, go ask King Zhao."

    Cui Zheng shouted angrily: "You!"

    From behind the screen, the eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Maybe you can say that!  "

    Li Minglou sat still and said, "If you don't believe me, go ask King Zhao."

    Cui Zheng shouted angrily: "You!"

    From behind the screen, the eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
