Since Ye Huaiyang moved into the palace, red tape has become more and more complicated, especially she can no longer go home when she wants to go home like before. If you count the days, she has not seen her family for more than half a month, even if she hugs her every night. He Ye Huaixin walked around the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only a few palace walls were separated, but according to the palace rules, it was basically insurmountable.
This kind of family banquet should be handled by her, but she is already six months pregnant, her body is getting heavier, and she is extremely lethargic. Chu Jinglan didn't want her to be tired, so she handed over all these things to the people below. , so she didn't know about it at all, so she was so happy when she heard it today.
In You Shizhong, she rode the phoenix carriage to Nanye Chi.
It is now the end of December, and the temperature is very low. The Nanye Pool has turned into a huge jadeite ice crystal, reflecting the towering palace and the lush forest garden. Shenghui.
The banquet is set in the hexagonal water pavilion in the center, surrounded by water on all sides, with only a narrow bridge connecting to the shore. Ye Huaiyang got off the phoenix chariot and went to the water pavilion along the wave-like coiled dragon relief railings. As soon as she stepped on the threshold, the black figure sitting in the upper position strode across the entire banquet hall to pick her up.
She glanced at the seats on both sides and found that the Meng family was also there, so she smiled slightly, and bowed her knees and performed a standard palace ceremony: "Chen and concubine pay tribute to the emperor."
Chu Jinglan's eyes narrowed, knowing that she didn't want to let her talk in front of outsiders, so she let her go, turned her hands and helped her up, and led her all the way to the seat. Walking in the middle, she turned her head to look at the Ye family, and winked at them playfully, Ye Huaixin was happy on the spot, Ye Huaili was still sullen, but there was a hint of helplessness.
The two took their seats one by one at the end of the walk, and the talents in the room got up and said, "I will wait to meet the Empress."
"Everyone, please excuse me." She replied softly, and glanced at the right side if there was no ground.
The Meng family was quite complete. Meng Qi, his two sons, and Meng Chen were all present. If nothing else, the old man was just sitting there, unleashing strong pressure, and was not angry. In contrast, the Ye family's battle It is much weaker, and even Pei Yuanshu is only three young people, and it is difficult to match.
It's just that Chu Jinglan came down to pick her up in person and surprised the Meng family. It's understandable to have a dragon in her arms, but she was not flattered. From this, you can see what the two of them are like in private. At this, Meng Xuan couldn't help but glance at his sister, she really looked unbearable.
Alas, what a sin.
The people had arrived, and the eunuch Zhuo Jin, the chief eunuch, announced the opening of the banquet with a loud voice. The maid immediately filed in with the glazed plate. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you late? Did something happen on the way?"
Since Ye Huaiyang came back, he has become extra careful. In the past, he would leave such important matters as the gold mine to her to take care of, but now he is afraid of her falling while walking, as if she is too tired to hurt her brain. It's not easy to use, it really makes her laugh and laugh. But she also understands that people will always worry about gains and losses after they have lost and regained.
So Ye Huaiyang smiled softly at him and said, "It's fine on the road, it's just that I struggled for a long time before coming here. The belly has grown again these days, and I can't wear the palace clothes I made earlier."
Chu Jinglan heard the annoyance in her tone, and couldn't help but smile lowly: "Just do it again, you don't need to save money for your husband."
"Your Majesty is someone who has gold mines, so I don't think about it!"
Ye Huaiyang pursed her lips slightly, as if she was spoiled and spoiled, but Chu Jinglan's heart softened suddenly, and she almost kissed her face in front of everyone.
She said so, but no one knew better than him how much money she saved.
Since he took over the mess left by Chu Sanghuai, he has been arguing with officials almost every day. The imperial court costs money, and the appeasement after the war also costs money. The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Gyeonggi camp receive a lot of money. silver. The Ministry of Household cried with him to be poor, so he checked the deficit, and as a result, the six departments came to cry poor together, so angry that he almost smashed the jade seal.
After Ye Huaiyang learned about this, she silently began to reduce the expenses of the harem, and took out a large sum of money from the Ye family for emergency response. Later, she told Xie Yun about it, and the Xie family also contributed a lot. Under the leadership of the two great aristocratic families, many small families have done their best to get through the difficulties temporarily.
Although it was hardships and joys, the life in front of me was no better than when I was in the Lan Wangfu. At that time, it was a small family. If she wanted the moon, he could find a way to bring it to her. Now it is everyone. This heavy throne belongs to countless people. God, the status of emperor and empress has given them more responsibilities, and they can no longer only care about their own enjoyment. He was born to adapt to all this, and fortunately, she adapts faster than anyone else.
How can she teach him not to love her to the core
Thinking of this, he glanced around the room, his eyes sank for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"Uncle, I toast you."
He didn't say the reason, just like the junior of an ordinary family came to toast, Meng Qi was also very calm, got up slightly and then drank it, saying: "Your Majesty, today's banquet is more like a celebration banquet, you After I finish drinking this glass of wine, I should also find a chance to go to your mother's concubine's grave to share a toast."
"That's right." Chu Jinglan nodded in agreement, and then smiled lightly, "Since it's a celebration feast, how could I have less of my heroes? Uncle Guo, A Xuan, I also toast to you."
Ye Huaili was a little stunned by his call, and after seeing Ye Huaiyang's funny look, he suddenly stood up, and replied in unison with Meng Xuan, "I don't dare."
If you don't dare, you still have to drink.
After eating a cup of yellow soup, the heat and energy hadn't dissipated, and they heard Chu Jinglan say: "In today's enthronement ceremony, I have awarded all those who deserve to be rewarded, leaving you alone, you have no complaints against me. ?"
Several people hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words have broken the minister, and the minister is frightened."
Chu Jinglan waved his hand and said, "I didn't have his intentions at first. I just wanted to wait until tonight's family banquet to tell you about the award. After all, there should be some differences between family members and outsiders."
After that, he looked at Zhuo Jin by his side, Zhuo Jin immediately took the imperial edict from the golden plate held by the little eunuch, and read out loudly in his hand: "In view of the merits of Zhu Qing's crusade against the rebels and the help of the society, the special Qin Feng As follows, Ye Huai trusts Zhongshu's Servant, Pei Yuanshu serves as a political advisor, Ye Huaili serves as a mighty general, and Meng Xuan serves as Dingguo Marquis."
After hearing this will, Ye Huaiyang's eyes flashed slightly, she tilted her head slightly, and she saw Meng Chen showing her a smug smile.
If there is no war, the mighty general is an idle job, how can it compare with the scenery of Dingguohou? One was promoted and one was promoted to the nobility, and the Meng family won three of the Ye family with only Meng Xuan, of course she was proud of it.
"My minister, thank you for the grace of Your Majesty!"
The four attended to receive the decree, Chu Jinglan signaled them to be flat, and said, "I will rely on you in the future."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, serving the country is the duty of the minister."
"Speaking of which, I have something important to leave to the two of you." Chu Jinglan looked at Ye Huaili and Meng Xuan who were kneeling in the center of the hall, and the light flashed in his eyes, "Uncle Guo, the Gyeonggi Camp is now. The organization of the various armies is in chaos. I hope that you will train the Sanqi and incorporate them into the Shence Army, and there is still a need for people to guard the north. Please leave those two things to the two of you."
In a word, the military power of the two was released.
Although Ye Huaili was in charge of training, the Shence Army was Chu Jinglan's direct line army. No matter how capable he was, he would never be able to make a difference. Moreover, the Guan Zhong Army was disrupted and reorganized. In this way, he had no power at all. . Not to mention Meng Xuan, the Beidi Army has been re-incorporated, where can he take someone back when he goes back
The atmosphere is a little more subtle now.
Meng Chen's face suddenly turned ugly, and he no longer showed off to Ye Huaiyang, but only turned his eyes to Meng Qi, hoping that he could say something, but Meng Qi seemed to have not heard it. Heart, still.
The two people here are also very calm, and they each kowtow to their orders.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your high regard, and I will do my best to share your worries for Your Majesty."
"I will return to the north in a few days, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations."
Chu Jinglan nodded indifferently and let them all return to their seats. They also thanked them one after another. There was peace between the ruler and the minister, and there was no unhappiness. Meng Chen, who was next to him, couldn't sit still. He was about to ask for troops for his brother. Ye Huaiyang happened to speak in front of her.
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask you for a favor, I wonder if I can?"
Meng Chen was furious when he heard this.
She must want to seek a better position for Ye Huaili, she must be! This woman pretends to be her cousin and thinks about it. When the family interests are involved, isn't she trying to show her true colors? Well, let my cousin see what kind of person she is!
Meng Chen was originally angry with Ye Huaiyang for taking the first opportunity, but he was not angry when he thought about it. Instead, he developed the mentality of watching a good show, waiting for Chu Jinglan to slap Ye Huaiyang in the face once in front of everyone, so that the She understands that it is not that you can get what you want when you are favored!
She stared at Ye Huaiyang without blinking, just waiting for her to speak, but she would smile softly and say something she never thought of!
"Your Majesty, Lord Pei has been engaged to the younger sisters of the concubine clan for a long time. It happened to happen with this change. The delay has not succeeded. The concubines are bold, and I would like to ask you to choose a date for them to facilitate this golden and jade relationship."
As soon as the words fell, Pei Yuanshu's face flushed red, and he looked at his seat, as if he was more nervous than when he accepted the reward.
Chu Jinglan laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about this? Pass my will, and give Pei Qing and Huai Ling to marry soon. The date will be calculated by Qin Tian and presented, and I will decide with you."
Pei Yuanshu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and even Huaiyang stood up that night and was blessed with a red face, like a hibiscus in full bloom.
"My concubine, thank you for your grace."
Chu Jinglan helped her up almost immediately, and took her back to sit next to her, with a calm smile on her brows, as warm as spring.
Ye Huaiyang took a sip of soup after sitting down, then looked at the Meng family, his eyes fell on the emerald green figure at the end, and a contemptuous smile appeared.
As long as she is here, this foreign relative of the Meng family will never try to overstep her authority! Not to mention her Meng Chen, even Meng Qi can't even think about it!

Yang Bao is kind and considerate, and Uncle Wang is also fond of him, but when he turns his face, he sheds his elder brother's military power.
Let's sell it, everyone can see it for themselves, it's boring to say too much~(づ￣ 3￣)づ
