The handwriting was from a woman, but not Rong Changan's. It's not Rong Chang'an, and it's only her—the Queen Mother. I didn't expect the threat to come so early.
What should Yan Li do? This night, the wind was clear and the moon was white, but Yan Li didn't want to sleep, and played the flute all night under the moon...
The next night, the emperor gave a banquet in Yanli's mansion. All the officials arrived, but only Zhao Hongru was not there. Although the housekeeper of the Zhao residence said that Zhao Hongru had caught a cold, Yan Li naturally understood the reason.
The banquet was held in the garden of Yan Mansion, facing the beautiful flowers and the full moon, it was really a pleasure.
After the emperor's three rounds of drinking, all the officials were free to drink with Yan Li.
"Prime Minister Yan, congratulations!"
"Prime Minister Yan, advance and retreat together in the future!"
"Prime Minister Yan is the youngest prime minister ever recorded in history, young and promising, congratulations!"
The praises came one after another, and Yan Li was overwhelmed with the amber cup. Although it is wine mixed with water, it can't stand so many people pouring it.
"Your Majesty, I'm too drunk to drink, please forgive me!" Yan Li said to Li Hai with his drunken eyes.
Li Hai laughed loudly: "They are all the prime minister's people, and they can't even drink alcohol. How can you say that the prime minister can punt a boat in his stomach! I allow you to change clothes!"
Changing clothes is a polite word, which means to relieve oneself. Yan Lixun came to the back room, followed closely by a servant. Yan Li felt something was wrong, so he asked, "What are you doing with me?"
The servant said softly: "Report to the prime minister, the queen is here!"
Yan Li was taken aback: This is a banquet for men, how could Rong Changan come! If Li Hai saw it, it would be terrible!
"Where is the person?"
The young man pointed to a wing at the back and said, "It's in the wing."
Yan Li thought for a while, and said to the boy: "I'm going to see the queen. If someone comes to see me, they will say that I have been vomiting, and go back to the room to rest for a while before going back. Don't let the news of the queen come, Do you know?"
The boy said: "Understood!"
Yan Li straightened his clothes and came to the side room. There was a flickering oil lamp in the side room. The oil lamp reflected a figure sitting at the table. The figure was like a weeping willow. It was very beautiful! He was only wearing a felt hat, so he couldn't see the outline of his face clearly.
Why do you need to look at her face, just looking at her back is also drunk. Looking at her face, wouldn't those men be unhappy all their lives!
Yan Li walked into the wing room, Chuntao was standing beside Rong Changan.
"How did you come?"
When Rong Changan saw Yan Li, he took off his hat, with a bright smile on his face: "Why, can't I come to congratulate you for being prime minister?"
Yan Li looked at Rong Chang'an seriously: "You know I didn't mean that, the emperor is outside now, if you let him see it, you won't be afraid..."
Rong Changan snorted coldly, as if he was not talking to Yan Li, but to himself: "There are so many women around him, so he doesn't care where I am! Besides, he can't recognize me with my makeup like this Come." As she spoke, she stroked her braids hanging down in front of her body, and asked Yan Li, "Look, do I look good dressed like this?"
The little girl Rong Changan showed her charming smile and showed off her clothes in front of Yan Li.
Yan Li smiled and said, "You look good, you look good in anything you wear, just like Xiaojiabiyu."
Rong Changan's heart warmed up, so he felt embarrassed to look at Yan Li. "You are the prime minister now, so you can't say such indecent and frivolous words."
Yan Li also consciously made a slip of the tongue, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Rong Changan poured two cups of hot tea, one for Yan Li and one for himself.
"Prime Minister, Chang'an replaces wine with tea, congratulations on your promotion!" Li took it over and touched Rong Chang'an. After a cup of hot tea, the whole person is much more refreshed.
"Can I ask you one thing?" Yan Li looked at Rong Chang'an and said.
Rong Changan smiled and said, "Can you not ask?"
Yan Li also smiled, and a gust of evening wind blew by, dimming the oil lamp. "Can't."
Rong Changan sighed and stood up, already knowing what Yan Li was going to ask. "go ahead!"
Yan Li stood behind Rong Changan: "How do you know so many things? Did you kill the prime minister? Did you kill Dong Wanshan?"
Rong Chang'an didn't answer right away. After a moment of silence, he asked Yan Li: "Let's not say whether I killed them, wouldn't their death bring you benefits? If they weren't dead, you wouldn't be able to be prime minister. If you don't become the prime minister, how will you realize your desire for revenge in the future... "
Rong Changan turned his head, his sharp eyes were shining, but it made Yan Li tremble all over.
"I don't have any desire for revenge, so don't talk nonsense." After a pause, Yan Li said, "Even if I want revenge, I won't use this method to achieve it. I don't like killing people. Besides, the prime minister once treated me badly." Well, whoever kills the prime minister is my enemy."
Rong Changan smiled coldly: "So you see me as an enemy?"
Yan Li's eyes shot out: "I'm serious, tell me, did you kill the prime minister?"
Rong Changan raised his chin slightly, with an uncooperative attitude: "Why should I tell you? Do you think you can speak to me in this tone when you become the prime minister?"
"Is it really you?" Yan Li's eyes flashed with pain.
Rong Changan said with a disdainful smile: "So what if it's me, so what if it's not me?"
Yan Li held the cup tightly, and the cup broke in his hand. The scum pierced his palm, and it was dripping with blood. "If you really killed the prime minister, I... I would rather not be the prime minister."
Rong Changan responded with a mocking sneer: "It's just that you are the prime minister now. If you don't do it suddenly, you know what the consequences will be? You not only angered the queen mother, but also angered Li Hai. These two countries are the most powerful. Powerful people, you have offended, do you think you can still hang out here?"
"But... but you killed the prime minister, I... I absolutely can't accept it!" Yan Li said.
"I still say the same thing, if I say, I killed the prime minister, what do you think?" Rong Changan looked at Yan Li closely.
Confusion was written on Yan Li's face, he gritted his teeth, looked at Rong Chang'an angrily and pitifully, "I can only choose, never see you again!"
Rong Changan and Yan Li looked at each other for a while, and the cool evening wind passed between them, blowing their skirts and hair.
"Have you decided?" Rong Changan said disapprovingly.
Yan Li's eyes were firm: "I will not use the prime minister's blood as a springboard for my promotion. This is my principle of life! You can't use any means for a selfish purpose!"
Rong Changan smiled at Yan Lifu: "For such a small principle, you can give up the ideals and ambitions you have pursued for many years? Do you know? If you can sit on the Diaoyutai alone one day, how many people will benefit huh? Have you thought about that?"
