Yu Wenyuan's words brought an end to the sudden "farce" at today's celebration banquet.

Yu Mingyue's face was pale, and even the brightly lit candles in the hall could not illuminate the haze in her eyes at this moment, but the uncertainty and loss were clearly illuminated; Yu Wencheng on the other side had long shrunk his neck. Not daring to say a word, the ministers who had previously gathered around the two of them also buried their heads, as if they were remorseful, as if they were afraid of being discovered.

Fortunately, no one paid any attention to them anymore.

After Yu Wenyuan finished speaking, Shang Ruyi immediately leaned over to pick up the wine glass on the table, held it up high and said: "Thank you, father. I would like to take this cup to congratulate my father, and may my emperor be forever strong forever!" "

"it is good!"

This was the third "yes" that Yu Wenyuan said to Shang Ruyi tonight. He was smiling happily, and he was actually happier than hearing the news of a great victory on the battlefield. He also raised his glass and waved to everyone: " You all raise your glasses too.”

When the emperor spoke, everyone raised their glasses as they dared not neglect.

However, after drinking this glass of wine, everyone had different feelings in their hearts - although the ownership of Taiyuan's military exploits and the canonization of the prince made them all make a choice for their own side, but this night banquet, it was obvious that Some signs that they had never noticed appeared again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has yet to marry a wife. This is something that everyone from the emperor to the ministers are extremely worried about. After all, it is difficult to establish a career before starting a family. This is an almost default state in everyone's mind.Originally tonight, Yu Wenyuan ordered people to personally bring Yu Mingyue into the palace. She herself was dressed up. Obviously everyone understood Yu Wenyuan's purpose, but they didn't expect that Lord Yu made mistakes from the moment he entered Baifu Palace. Almost none of the words he said were what the emperor wanted to hear, and almost all of them were on the verge of the emperor's anger.

After listening to the words that told her not to talk anymore, she knew that there was no way the prince's marriage would come to fruition tonight.

On the contrary, it was Princess Qin.

She acted as a dancer with the dignity of a princess, which indeed brought disgrace to the royal family. If she mentioned it at other times, it would definitely attract people's attention; but her impassioned speech made people only pay attention to her merits. It is the responsibility of women and men to contribute to the family and the country. This is what Empress Du has always wanted to do since the reign of Emperor Wen.In these troubled times, how could the emperor not agree that more people should be loyal and filial to the country?

Therefore, the moment Princess Qin opened her mouth, it was enough to crush Master Yu who didn't know the heights of the world, let alone guess the holy will.

It can also be seen that although His Majesty the Emperor has a suppressive attitude towards King Qin, he loves his daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

However, King Qin and Princess Qin have not yet opened a palace and have been living in the palace.

With such a considerate and agreeable daughter-in-law by his side, it is hard to guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will not slowly change his attitude and lean toward the King of Qin. This is not impossible.Moreover, King Qin and Princess Qin have been married for a long time. Once Princess Qin gives birth to a son as soon as possible——

The atmosphere in the main hall became a little weird for a while.

Some of the ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, and their eyes moved towards Princess Qin who was a little tipsy after drinking a whole glass of wine. She was shaking a little when she sat down. Fortunately, the King of Qin on the side quickly caught her with his quick eyes and hands. , and His Highness King Qin, who was killing decisively on the battlefield like Shura in a fierce battle, was looking at his wife with such soft eyes that they felt like he was a different person.

If this royal matter is not taken to the last step, it will be difficult to talk about it.

Thinking of this, everyone in the hall became confused. You miss yours and I miss mine, just like the confluence of hundreds of rivers, creating chaos in all directions.

But at this time, everyone's confused thoughts were combined, and no one was confused. Yu Mingyue stared at the glass of wine that she was forced to drink empty. It was obvious that the glass had reached the bottom, but she still felt that it was full. It overflowed into the water, and was reflected by the surrounding candlelight, making the water ripples and dazzling her eyes.

how so……

how so! ?

She didn't dare to raise her head, but her ears could already hear the cheers and laughter of the courtiers around her. As if to make up for the embarrassing atmosphere caused by the "farce" just now, everyone was chatting and laughing, and they became bolder. Some generals even directly Raise your wine glass and drink with King Qin and Princess Qin.Tonight, His Highness King Qin's attitude was much softer. He would not refuse anyone who came, but he would not let Princess Qin drink any more, saying that she had already overdosed. The generals laughed and laughed, but they did not force it.

The atmosphere was extremely warm for a while.

How could this be?how so!
Yu Mingyue gritted her teeth, clenched her fists hard, and dug her nails deeply into her palms. The stinging pain made her feel even more frustrated.

However, she still didn't understand - she was already sure of victory and could be canonized as the Crown Princess tonight, but Yu Wenyuan gave up just because of those few words; these people were originally uncivilized ancients, and they should pay attention to the three obediences and the four virtues. , a woman should be reprimanded for even the slightest mistake in her behavior, even those who soaked the pig cage. These are all things she has seen before, why are they completely different?
Was she mistaken?
But how could she be wrong?

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, but the same problem seemed to turn into countless thorns and bind her body, making her unable to breathe and almost collapsed from the discomfort.Fortunately, her seat was at the back, closest to the entrance of the hall. Yu Mingyue remembered that Yu Wenzui had told her before that the banquet rules in the palace were not strict. If she was drunk or uncomfortable, she could leave the palace and go out to drink some wine. She was angry, as long as she was not called out by the emperor, so she stood up and walked out.

At this time, Yu Wenxin, who was sitting in front, also saw this scene. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face, and he subconsciously wanted to get up.

But before he could move, he heard Yu Wenyuan say: "Kaier, you also have a drink with me."

Yu Wensu immediately raised his head and saw Yu Wenyuan raising his glass to him. He did not dare to neglect, so he stood up quickly, picked up the wine glass, and the two of them drank together. But before he finished drinking, before he could sit down, several ministers came to help him. He could only answer the toasts one by one.

Looking back, Yu Mingyue was no longer there outside the door.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively, drums and music were playing, and dancers came to the center of the hall and danced to the music. Not only were pairs of slender and jade-white robes and colorful clothes waving in the air, The skirt is also full of the faint fragrance of wine.In such an atmosphere, Shang Ruyi's face became increasingly red.

Her drinking capacity was actually not bad, but she didn't know if it was because of fatigue. Although all the ministers who came to toast later were accepted by Yu Wenye alone, the few drinks she drank at the beginning of the banquet made her smell drunk. Sigh, she gradually became a little tipsy, and the dishes served by the palace maids one after another were all fish, which were so greasy that she felt a little depressed, and she frowned as she sat in her seat.

After drinking another glass of wine, Yu Wenye looked down at her: "What's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi raised his eyes pitifully: "It's uncomfortable."

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenye suddenly felt distressed and felt a little funny. He pursed his lips and said, "What should I do? My father is happy tonight, so you can't go back early."

Of course, Shang Ruyi knew that as one of the protagonists of this celebration banquet, she could not leave early, so she looked around and said softly: "I want to go out for a while to let the wind blow away the alcohol. If my father asks, , please help me round it off."

Yu Wenye nodded, but then said: "Don't you want me to accompany you?"

Shang Ruyi immediately shook his head: "That's not possible. What if someone asks you to drink?"

Yu Wenye smiled and said, "Are you just going to leave me here to be drunk?"

Shang Ruyi also smiled, but didn't say much to him. After all, her chest was getting more and more constricted at this time, and she felt faintly like nausea. She waved her hands and stood up, taking advantage of the opportunity when a palace maid came forward to add wine to them. Turned around and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, he felt a cool breeze blowing over him. Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and felt that the turbid air in his chest immediately dissipated with the wind.

The whole person felt a lot more comfortable.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, regardless of Yu Wenye's life or death in the palace, and slowly walked forward with the help of the lanterns under the eaves of the palace and the still bright moonlight.

Although it had been some time since she moved into the palace, and she had taken Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan on a tour of the inner court, she was not very familiar with the surrounding environment after passing Baifu Hall. After walking for a while, she saw a tall palace gate in front of her. There were many vigorous pines and cypresses planted inside and outside the palace gate, which gave off a strange sense of majesty under the moonlight. Only then did Shang Ruyi remember that this gate was the Chengqing Gate. After passing this gate, the Chengqing Hall was in front of him.

It is now renamed Chengqian Hall and is the residence of Yuwen Sui.

Shang Ruyi immediately stopped and prepared to walk back.

At this moment, a sneer came from the shadow of the tree. Such a familiar and arrogant voice made her heart tremble. When she turned around, she saw Yu Mingyue's slim figure slowly walking out from under a tree.

Under the moonlight, her eyes were colder than the moonlight, and she glared at Shang Ruyi with a bit of undisguised anger.

Shang Ruyi had never been a narrow-minded person, but Yu Mingyue's overt hostility and disrespect towards her still made her a little angry.She said coldly: "Master Yu, I am still Princess Qin. If you don't kneel down or salute me when you see me, what are you doing!"

"..."

"Do you still see superiority and inferiority in your eyes?"

As soon as she heard these words, Yu Mingyue seemed to be even more angry. She sneered, with disdain and contempt in her words, and said: "Do you think I am really afraid of you? I am afraid of you...not because of you, not because of you. Putting aside your status as Princess Qin, you are nothing."

"..."

"On the contrary, I look down on you."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly became filled with anger.

Of course she knew that she and Yu Mingyue had been fighting to the death since the first "meeting". Now that they have come to this point, especially when Yu Mingyue targeted her just like that in Baifu Hall, if she hadn't also had some eloquent power, , I am afraid that their reputations will be ruined now, and they don’t know what their fate will be in the future, so they all want to stab each other a few times, but Yu Mingyue really has no respect for superiors and inferiors, let alone a little respect for people as a human being.

However, the more this happened, the more she wanted to maintain her dignity and dignity as Princess Qin.

So he smiled lightly and said: "If there is anything about me that makes you look down on, tell me and I will listen."

Yu Mingyue sneered: "You, when you marry a man, you actually help him take concubines and persuade him to rest with other women. Do you know how embarrassing it is for a woman? It's a shame that you are still called a concubine. What virtuous——"
