Morning morning on December 24th.
Xiao Yanjun suffered a loss yesterday and had a better memory when he went out this morning. He specially asked Nie Hongyang to prepare an ordinary carriage without the mark of Prince Yu's Palace and secretly set off from the back door.
Although he felt a little aggrieved, at least he met people on the road and was not blocked again.
What the Palace of Taihe is discussing today is a happy event, that is Prince Yu's wedding.
The emperor was no longer as angry as yesterday, and his voice was quite gentle. He reminded Xiao Yanjun: "After your wedding, your family affairs are also considered state affairs. You must think twice before taking any action."
Although these words were talking about the marriage between the two countries, to the ears of interested people, it seemed that Xiao Yanjun had some hope in the East Palace.
Xiao Yanjun came out of the queue respectfully and responded: "My son, I will definitely remember my father's kind words."
The emperor's face softened a bit, and he nodded as if he was pleased.
"Lord Xie, this is the first preparation you have to make. You must prepare it properly and not lose the face of both countries." The emperor turned to look at Xie Jiming.
"Your Majesty, the etiquette department has already completed the arrangement, and it was presented to His Highness Prince Yu yesterday for review. His Majesty did not ask any questions, and I think he is very satisfied." Xie Jiming came out to present his plans, and glanced at Xiao Yanjun as he spoke.
Xiao Yanjun's face was startled. He had not looked at it at all yesterday.
It turned out that when Jie Ji Ming Baba came over yesterday, he not only followed him to watch his jokes, but also made fun of him.
Seeing that Xie Ji Ming had blocked his words here, it would be hard for him to take the opportunity to criticize him in the future. Now that he had teased him like this, it was hard to refute him in front of the emperor.
Xiao Yanjun endured it for a while and replied lukewarmly: "The etiquette department is naturally thorough in its affairs."
Xie Jiming replied in the same lukewarm tone: "His Royal Highness, Xie Yu, praised me."
Xiao Yanjun turned his head and rolled his eyes at him, and Xie Jiming stepped back as if he hadn't heard.
When Taifu Wu saw this, he spoke at the right time: "Since His Royal Highness King Yu's wedding is attended by the whole country, shouldn't the Emperor also give a different reward to show the greatness of the Emperor's kindness and celebrate the universal celebration?"
The emperor showed a look of approval: "What Taifu Wu said makes sense."
The remaining courtiers were all thinking about what kind of reward they should give, so as to show the emperor's great kindness and make the whole world celebrate.
Xiao Yanjun was naturally no exception, eagerly waiting for the emperor to give him some kind of favor.
Who would have thought that after he waited for a long time, the emperor was silent for a moment and then issued a decree: "Preach my will, forgive the world, participate in the grand event, and celebrate together."
Xiao Zimu was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and glanced at Taifu Wu. It turned out that he told him yesterday that the emperor had a plan in mind and planned it here.
Taifu Wu smiled, stroking his beard, and nodded slightly at him.
Xiao Zimu was the first to kneel down and thank him: "My father is wise and has great virtue and benevolent governance."
The remaining courtiers knelt down in confusion. Xiao Yanjun couldn't stand standing there abruptly, so he had to kneel down as well.
It wasn't until they followed the mountain call and looked at Xiao Zimu's handsome face with happy brows that Xiao Yanjun realized that this pardon had a special meaning.
Xiao Mubai was imprisoned with his front legs in, and before they could discuss how to get him to sit through the bottom of the cell.
But only one day later, the emperor issued such a decree.
"There is a lot of resentment among the people at the moment. My father is doing it for your reputation. By showing kindness to you through your wedding, you can also alleviate the resentment of the people against you." The emperor looked like he was thinking about him.
Xiao Yan was left with no argument to make, and he had to kneel down and gnash his teeth to express his gratitude: "My son, I would like to thank my father for your kindness and for taking the trouble to do so."
As for the people in Xiao Yanjun's camp, they felt more relieved after hearing the emperor's words. Although it was a pity that Xiao Mubai was released, this move did help Xiao Yanjun's reputation.
Reputation is something that is both indispensable and indispensable for a king.
Therefore, Min Zhisong saw Xiao Yanjun lowering his head and gnashing his teeth, and tugged at the corner of his clothes to prevent him from showing dissatisfaction.
After retreating from the court, Xiao Zimu was naturally in high spirits, and the crowd was filled with laughter and laughter.
Xia Chu is not guilty and will be welcomed back to the capital soon.
Xiao Mubai was pardoned, and Kong Changhui rushed back to Dali Temple to release him from prison.
Xiao Yanjun, on the other hand, was surrounded by Min Zhisong and others to comfort him, and he finally gained a good reputation.
Xiao Yanjun was annoyed by what they were talking about, so he pushed everyone aside and headed towards the Jade Palace.
When he reached the palace gate, he was stopped by Lian Yan, saying that the empress was not feeling well and telling him not to bother her today.
Xiao Yanjun was about to rush in when he heard this, but Lian Yan stopped in front and said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, your Majesty said she doesn't want to see you today."
Xiao Yanjun's expression was startled, thinking that Concubine Li was still angry with him for his reckless behavior because of what happened yesterday, and it was not good for her to be displeased, so he had no choice but to brush his sleeves, turn around and leave angrily.
At this time, in the Yufu Palace, the door was closed tightly.
In Xiao Yanjun's heart, Concubine Li, who was so arrogant, was curling up on the edge of the cave in pain and moaning through gritted teeth: "If you have the ability... just kill me!"
At this time, Li Fei's arms and neck were covered with dense purple marks like silk threads. The purple marks were intertwined and interspersed like an iron net on her skin.
She opened her mouth to sob, panting like a dehydrated fish.
His face turned red inch by inch, and in the end he couldn't even say harsh words.
Lian Yan sent Xiao Yanjun away and hurried back. When she saw Concubine Li fainting again, she knelt down and begged Zi Luo: "Let me go, it's been all night."
Zi Luo leaned on the rose chair that was Li Fei's favorite in the past, with an indifferent expression, and disdainfully kicked away Li Fei's slender hand that had just pinched her: "Since your Majesty dares to make decisions without authorization, this is what will happen."
Lian Yan knelt and walked over, kowtowing: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore. Lord Ziluo, show your respect. If the empress is good, how can she do things for you? Both parties have to rely on her to support you, right?"
Zi Luo stood up, walked to Li Fei, grabbed her hair with one hand, pinched her jaw open with the other, and fed a pill. His fingers accidentally got stained with her lipstick, and he wiped it on her luxurious palace dress with disgust.
Li Fei, with her hair disheveled and all her makeup gone, slowly woke up in Lian Yan's arms. Lian Yan hurriedly kowtowed to Zi Luo and knelt down to thank her.
Zi Luo looked at the furious Concubine Li with cold eyes, and her tone was chilling to the bone: "Do whatever the master tells you to do. This is the first and last time."
Concubine Li lowered her eyelids and remained silent, with a sinister look deep in her eyes...
Zi Luo didn't see the look in her eyes when she lowered her head, and said coldly to her: "Let me tell you another piece of news. His Royal Highness King Mo of your country is also the Third Young Master Qiao of the Liang Kingdom."
