Li Hai smiled, and said to the eunuch: "You reply to the Queen Mother, just say that Yan Yushi is going to get drunk with me today, it's impossible! Go to pay the Queen Mother another day."
"This..." The eunuch was a little embarrassed.
Li Hai lowered his face, gloomy.
"Why, you only have the queen mother in your heart, don't you have me? My words are useless, aren't they?"
The eunuch was terrified, knelt down in a hurry, and kowtowed: "Damn the little one, that's not the meaning of the little one!"
His forehead was bleeding.
Zi Yan persuaded him from the side: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager must have important matters with Yan Yushi, why don't you let him go first!"
Li Hai's eyes widened slightly: "Today I'm throwing a banquet for Yan Yushi and the Empress to celebrate, and there are hundreds of officials and ministers sitting below, how can I leave easily? It's not too late." Suddenly, he shouted to the eunuch, "Not too soon Go report to the Queen Mother!"
"Yes, the servant will report now!"
The eunuch hurriedly left.
Rong Chang'an also understood the queen mother's intentions, smiled and said: "The queen mother must very much hope to see the great hero Yan Yushi, how about this, I will go with Yan Yushi to greet the queen mother at night, what does the emperor think?" What? We are back, and we don't go to see the Queen Mother, it is outrageous!"
As long as Rong Changan and Yan Li go there, she will definitely lend a helping hand so that the Queen Mother cannot hurt Yan Li.
Li Hai thinks about it too, everyone knows that the most powerful person in Dajing Kingdom is not Li Hai, but the Queen Mother, Rong Changan and Yan Li are back, if they don't go to greet An, the Queen Mother must be unhappy.
"Okay then, I will trouble the Queen and Yan Yushi to pay their respects to the Queen Mother at night."
After another three rounds of drinking, the eunuch went back and forth, his embarrassment deepened.
"Reporting to the emperor, the queen mother said that she wants to summon Yan Yushi now."
Li Hai's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. The queen mother is clearly challenging his authority.
Yan Li was also very surprised beside him, wondering why the Queen Mother was so anxious to see him all of a sudden.
"Hmph, didn't you pass on my words to the Queen Mother?"
The eunuch was trembling all over: "It has been passed on, but the Queen Mother insists on seeing Yan Yushi!"
Li Hai was so angry that the hand holding the wine glass was trembling. He wanted to slam the wine glass on the wine case, but when he thought about it, he couldn't make the conflict of interests and conflicts between him and the Queen Mother public, that would be bad for him.
Rong Chang'an thought about it, and said to Li Hai: "Your Majesty, since the Empress Dowager insists on seeing Yan Yushi, why not let me go with Yan Yushi to see him now?"
Li Hai said: "All the Qing family are excited, but Yan Yushi is allowed to leave at this moment, really..."
"You can't spoil the Queen Mother, can you?" Rong Changan's starry eyes flickered, clearly wanting to tell Li Hai that the Queen Mother should not be annoyed.
Li Hai understood, and said: "Empress, if the Empress Dowager holds a banquet in her palace, you can't let Yan Yushi get drunk there, I and all the Qing families are still waiting for him, you have to bring him here! "
Rong Changan understood Li Hai's meaning, and asked her to protect Yan Li Zhouquan. Even if Li Hai doesn't say it, Rong Changan will do it.
"The concubine must persuade the queen to drink less for Yan Yushi!"
"Very good! Very good! Then you go over there!"
Rong Changan took Yan Li, and after giving Li Hai a big gift, he followed the eunuch out of the imperial garden, walked through the long red wall of the corridor, and came to the gate of Fengzao Palace.
"You wait here, the slave will go and report to the Queen Mother."
The eunuch went in for a while, then came out, respectfully said: "The queen mother has invited the queen and Yan Yushi."
Rong Changan suddenly grabbed Yan Li's hand and squeezed it tightly, but his face was smiling like a flower: "Yan Yushi, don't get drunk by the Queen Mother for a while!"
There was clearly a deep meaning in the pupils, although Yan Li didn't quite understand it, he probably knew that the Queen Mother's invitation this time was a "Hongmen Banquet". His heart tightened, and his eyes suddenly became cautious.
Sure enough, the queen mother also set up a long table banquet in her yard. She sat on a high phoenix chair with two big fans behind her. The dishes on the table are not much different from those outside, and they are all things that the princes and ministers cannot eat.
"Chang'an pays respects to the queen mother! I wish the queen mother good luck, and the queen mother will live a thousand years!" Rong Chang'an saluted the queen mother.
Yan Li also gave the Queen Mother a big gift: "Good luck, Queen Mother!"
Although Rong Changan came over, the queen mother was very surprised, but she still looked happy towards Rong Changan, but her expression became severe towards Yan Li, staring at Yan Li for a long time.
Yan Li killed the people around her, and the queen mother wants to punish him today. Anyway, since Li Hai isn't here, she can completely kill her first and play later. She doesn't believe that Li Hai can still turn against her because of a little censor.
It's just that Rong Chang'an is also here, but it's hard for her to do it.
Yan Li didn't know why the Empress Dowager looked at him for so long, he didn't dare to raise his eyes for fear of seeing the Empress Dowager's expression, but felt that the atmosphere was very strange.
Rong Chang'an had already seen a cold light flashing in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
"Queen Dowager, we just came back from the disaster area, so it's really a sin that we didn't have time to see you! A sin! The Queen Mother wants to forgive you!"
Rong Chang'an's words broke the awkward atmosphere, and the queen mother suppressed her anger. No matter how much she hated Yan Li, the queen would always give her face.
"Yan Yushi get up! The Ai family called you over from the emperor, did you disturb your interest?"
Yan Li said: "Don't disturb!"
"Hahaha," the queen mother felt a little proud when she saw Yan Li's obedience, so she stretched out a hand and said with a smile, "Yan Yushi and the queen, please sit down. Anyway, you are having a celebration banquet at the emperor's place." , Ai’s house is also a celebration banquet, it’s the same everywhere!”
After Rong Chang'an and Yan Li sat down, the Empress Dowager raised her glass to them and said with a smile, "My family would like to offer you a toast, and thank you for your hard work on the journey!"
Rong Changan and Yan Li drank a small glass of wine with the Queen Mother.
"Changan is abroad for the country, and has never had time to send a letter of greetings to the Queen Mother. How is the Queen Mother recently?"
The queen mother smiled and said: "Ai's body is still strong, even if he lives another thousand years, there will be no problem."
Rong Changan couldn't help laughing in his heart: If Li Hai heard this sentence, he didn't know how he would feel. Now he is like a puppet, restricted in everything he does, wishing that the Queen Mother would return to the west as soon as possible and return the power to him. Li Hai couldn't wait to live another thousand years. However, if Li Hai can really live a long life like the ministers celebrated, he can still wait.
"Yan Yushi, as a man, you have made such a great contribution, shouldn't you drink a few more glasses?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes were deep, and there was a sinister light in her eyes. Rong Changan looked at it and thought to himself: It seems that the Empress Dowager has malicious intentions. Could it be that the army is ambushed around this Fengzao Palace, and when Yan Li gets drunk, she will Easy to do
Yan Li had already had a lot of wine at Li Hai's side, and his fair skin was completely red. Now that he picked up the wine glass, his eyes were a little wandering, and Rong Chang'an also noticed it.
"My minister complies with the order, thank you Queen Mother for hosting a banquet for me and the Queen!"
