Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 82
Only then did Mrs. Li realize later why the queen mother released her and entertained her with delicious food and drink, while Wang Shanggong was kicked out. In the current situation, the queen mother may have already counted. Here, the Empress Dowager's trick is to force her to break up with Mrs. Li!
The Queen Mother is really calculating!
Sheng Shaoqing: Then...it's not so powerful anymore.

Li Lingjiang got the answer he wanted, turned around and retreated gracefully, but Mrs. Li suddenly turned her head to look at Sheng Shaoqing who was sitting on the high seat. Sheng Shaoqing was listening to their conversation with his ears upright. Feeling guilty for a while, he nodded politely at her, smiled and looked away.

Mrs. Li's mental activity reached its peak after seeing Sheng Shaoqing's smile at this moment.

Mrs. Li: The weasel has no good intentions to give the chicken New Year greetings!hypocritical!
Mrs. Li: I might as well just hit my head to death that day, and save all the suffering.

Mrs. Li: Huh huh, it's over now, the old days of Ann's life were never over.

Mrs. Li: Why is the empress dowager so dark? I have been in the palace for so many years. I have worked hard without credit. Although I didn't treat the empress very well before, I didn't bring such a bully?
Sheng Shaoqing hurriedly stopped the psychological peeping function, otherwise she would be annoyed to death by the crying Mrs. Li.

And the banquet was exactly as she expected, she didn't eat a good mouthful, she just nodded and smiled to toast her body, thinking about the fresh meat buns in the afternoon, Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help swallowing again.

"Nanjing Envoy Wang Mi has arrived!"

Everyone looked curiously at this powerful official from the south, a legendary figure who was born in the Langya Wang family but finally willingly assisted the reckless emperor, and even married his younger sister to the Ming Emperor. At that time, many people belittled him for the sake of bow down to authority.

They all forgot that Emperor Ming, a reckless emperor, was saved by Wang Mi at first.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, Wang Mi walked slowly into the hall.

This was the first time he stepped into the center of the nobles in Beiliang. He walked up to Sheng Shaoqing step by step under the eyes of everyone who was either searching or surprised.

"Foreign Minister Wang Mi sees Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, may your Majesty and the Empress Dowager enjoy endless happiness!"

His arrival was like the warm wind before the rain in spring, sweeping across the hall in an instant with misty mist.

Duanfang Junzi, gentle and moist as jade, is just right to describe the man in front of him.

However, in addition to this dusty temperament, there are also bits and pieces of heroic spirit. He has gone through the battlefield and is used to seeing corpses shrouded in horse leather, but there is no trace of vicissitudes on his body, but full of vitality and vigorous hope.

It was the first time that Sheng Shaoqing saw such two contradictory temperaments harmoniously appearing in the same person, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized it and made him stand up.

Today is a palace banquet, so it cannot be regarded as a formal meeting, so Wang Mi saluted and entered the table under the guidance of the young eunuch.

Wang Mi's arrival was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and disappeared after stirring layers of microwaves. The noisy hall returned to its hustle and bustle after a sudden silence.

And Wang Mi himself seemed to be used to such situations, and after sitting down smoothly, he picked up the wine glass steadily.

Sheng Shaoqing couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and turned on the psychological peeping function again, blocking the noisy Mrs. Li and flooding the girl's heart. After Mrs. Xu who had been roaring in her heart forced her to shut down, Sheng Shaoqing concentrated on studying Wang Mi's Inner world.

Wang Mi's position is high and powerful, so he would not be sent as an envoy to a foreign country, but since he is here, Beiliang will not treat him as an ordinary envoy, and directly arranges his position after Ji Wenxuan and Wei Zhen .

Wang Mi: Insufficient authority, please contact the system to upgrade.

Ji Wenxuan: Insufficient authority, please contact the system to upgrade.

Wei Zhen: How could there be such a talent in Nanjing, who actually has the demeanor I had back then.

Sheng Shaoqing: "..."

Putting Wei Zhen aside, Sheng Shaoqing questioned the system, "Why do you want to upgrade this function?"

[Literally, your level points are not enough, and the function permissions cannot be fully opened. Please pay the fee before activating it. 】

"Then why can I see Wei Zhen?!"

[That's right, their city mansion is like a big mansion. You can only view the first three houses you enter, and you need to use your points to unlock the back yard.But today is the New Year's Eve, I can help you upgrade a little permission, so that you can see a part of the picture in their hearts, you can choose which one to watch now? 】

Sheng Shaoqing restrained the urge to scold others on this beautiful day, and politely replied, "Wang Mi's."

Ji Wenxuan, she can wait for the upgrade to see for herself, there will be a long way to go.

But Wang Mi, after passing this village, there is no such store. After a few days, when he runs back to Nanjing, where will she go to see it?
[Okay, please wait a moment, the system is activating for you. 】

After a while, Sheng Shaoqing could see some pictures appearing on Wang Mi's head.

This is the picture...

It was like snowflakes falling on the screen of an old TV intermittently. Sheng Shaoqing tried hard to see it clearly, only to realize that the picture was so fucking black and white.

"You're a defective product, aren't you?"

[Civilization value -1. 】

The tone of the system was very calm, and it was already mentally prepared for such a reaction from the host.

[It’s said that it’s a free gift, so don’t be too demanding. 】

Sheng Shaoqing: "..."

Cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap. Sheng Shaoqing once again deeply realized this truth.

Forget it, just make do with it.

At this time, Wang Mi was walking in front of Ji Wenxuan holding a wine glass. The two of them said something, and the picture on Wang Mi's head changed into a fox.

As for why Sheng Shaoqing could accurately recognize that it was a fox and not some other dog or wolf in such a vague situation, it was really because the fox was actually wearing a suit and a bow tie, and the more Sheng Shaoqing looked at this fox, the more familiar it seemed... …

It seems like...

Nick from Zootopia? ? ?
On the head of an ancient man with fluttering clothes, there is a modern animated fox image. Sheng Shaoqing is really a little unable to accept it. Just as he was about to ask the system what kind of supernatural function this is, the system's proud tone sounded again:
[As I said a long time ago, I am a high-quality and civilized advanced system. Is the translated image in this way direct enough and clear enough? 】

"Show, it's still your show."

So, Wang Mi is saying in his heart that Ji Wenxuan is an old fox?
Afterwards, Wang Mi passed directly in front of Wei Zhen and returned to his seat. Wei Zhen was so angry that his beard was raised up and down, and there were eight large characters floating on his forehead: Ignorant Lizi, how dare you despise me.

This font size, indeed, can make Sheng Shaoqing feel Wei Zhen's anger very intuitively.

Wang Mi pulled the attendant beside him to whisper something in his ear, and the attendant left the hall from a corner.

And the picture above his head turned into a white cloud.

In order to set off how white the cloud is, the picture is black except for the cloud, and only the cloud is floating around in the middle of the picture, and the clouds expand and the clouds relax.

Sheng Shaoqing racked his brains to come up with the only reasonable explanation. He should be asking Yunzhi?

"Forget it, turn it off, it's too strenuous to watch."

The system turned off the screen without hesitation, Sheng Shaoqing let out a sigh of relief, and started looking for the seven lucky ones who passed the written test.

Chang Dajian said that they would be placed in a prominent position: "The queen mother can be seen at a glance from the Phoenix seat."

But Sheng Shaoqing went around the hall three times, but couldn't find where the seven gourd babies were.

Sheng Shaoqing turned his head away, and Cui Yun also walked forward at the right time, "What is the queen mother's order?"

"Didn't Chang Dajian say that he could see it at a glance? Why did Ai's family search for so long and didn't find any?"

Cui Yun wondered, "They are right there."

"Where is it?"

Cui Yun leaned down, trying to point out the direction for Sheng Shaoqing, but her smile gradually became awkward, "Queen Mother, if you really want to see...or...you should call me tomorrow..."

"what do you mean?"

Cui Yun spoke with difficulty, "Did the Empress Dowager see a long case in the long pavilion outside the door when she entered the palace?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Queen...if you stand up now...you will be able to see...the seven young gentlemen."

Chang Dajian said that he could see it at a glance from the phoenix seat, but he didn't say whether he was standing or sitting to watch...

No wonder she can see it while standing and talking, but the queen mother who is sitting can't see it.

Sitting and watching from the position of the queen mother, the long case outside the hall will be blocked by a few stone steps in front of the hall...

Not to mention the people sitting in front of the long case.

Sheng Shaoqing: "..."

"Should Aijia stand up and watch?"

Cui Yun recently made another embarrassment for Chang Dajian, "I estimate that these young gentlemen have no official positions and no rank. If they sit in the palace, they may cause disputes, so they can only arrange It's outside the hall, the most conspicuous thing outside the hall is the long pavilion, but I didn't expect it to be completely blocked by the stone steps of this hall."

Sheng Shaoqing's wishful thinking of wanting to interview in advance was completely shattered, but when he turned around, he saw Yuan Che who was originally on the dragon chair ran to his side at some point.

Yuan Che gently tugged at Sheng Shaoqing's dress, Sheng Shaoqing bent down, and Yuan Che whispered in Sheng Shaoqing's ear, "Mother, are you hungry?"

The dance in the hall had been replaced by juggling, which attracted bursts of applause, and the surrounding voices became more and more noisy. Sheng Shaoqing could only straighten his neck, lower his head and said to Yuan Che, "Mother, I padded my belly in the afternoon, this time Are you hungry, haven't you eaten the snacks your mother sent you?"

"I ate it, but I was worried that my mother would be hungry."

On weekdays, the mother and son have a good amount of food for each other, and the pad in the afternoon is just enough to fit between the teeth, so the two stomachs made sounds in tacit understanding at the same time. Fortunately, the jugglers were performing wonderfully. Cheers in unison, the sound of "gulu" was drowned in layers of sound waves.

"The queen mother is not hungry!"

"The minister there is not hungry either!"

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, and watched juggling together.

Seeing the interaction between Sheng Shaoqing and Yuan Che on the high platform, Wang Mi frowned slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank the remaining fine wine in the glass.

Then he reached out to bring the jug on the table, but found that he had already drank the whole jug before he knew it. He was about to find a waiter to bring another jug ​​of wine, but Wei Zhen sat down on him with the wine. at the desk.

"Why is Wang Xianggong drinking alone?"

"Master Wei, I have been waiting for a long time! I have been waiting for a long time! It's just that what you said is wrong. How do you know that this junior is drinking?"

Wei Zhen laughed, thinking of you for a long time, you ghost, but on the face he said: "The others have not drank one pot yet, but Wang Xianggong has already drunk three pots, what is it if he is not drunk?"

Wang Mi smiled brightly and said, "Hey, Mr. Wei doesn't know about it. This junior has a hobby. When he is in a good mood, he must drink five pots to enjoy himself. What's more, the wine of Great Liang is indeed as good as it is heard. See, the taste is full-bodied and the aftertaste is long, so the younger generation will love it even more!"

Wei Zhen cursed secretly, telling you to pretend, keep pretending!

"Then Mr. Wang, can I have a drink with the old man?"

Wang Mi was flattered and said, "Master Wei loves you, this junior is just asking for it!"

Wei Zhen's teeth itch with hatred in his heart, what can he wish for?You were sitting next to Ji Wenxuan just now, it was as if you couldn't see me, but you didn't come to toast, and now you want me to come to toast you, it's really a great face!
If it weren't for...

Wei Zhen filled the wine glass in his hand, took the wine glass from Wang Mi's hand, and returned it to Wang Mi after filling it up. Wang Mi looked at Wei Zhen's smooth operation in astonishment. The waves in the water were clear, reflecting his own clear and ignorant eyes, he thought that Wei Zhen hadn't done anything yet.

This Great Liang's tough folk style really lives up to its reputation!

"Wang Mi respects Lord Wei!"

Wei Zhen clinked glasses with Wang Mi, raised their necks and drank it all in one gulp, a hot stream of water flowed through his stomach, and the hot Wei Zhen almost burst into tears.

Wang Mi smiled and said to Wei Zhen, "Master Wei, don't you often drink bars?"

"Where is it?!" Wei Zhen's mouth was stiff, and his eye sockets were even harder, trying not to let the tears fall, "I drink half a catty a day to keep fit!"

Wang Mi didn't expose him, and continued to compliment him, "Master Wei is really a good drinker!"

"Master Wei, is there anything else?" Wang Mi didn't think that Wei Zhen simply came to drink with him.

"I, what can I do?" Wei Zhen gritted his teeth and pretended to be indifferent, "I often heard that your Wang Daxiang is under Emperor Ming of Nanjing, just curious."

When Wang Mi heard the words, he immediately woke up from the wine. Is this old man trying to kill him? !

Wang Mi immediately said seriously, "Lord Wei, be careful!"

Wei Zhen still laughed and said, "You are in Daliang now, not in your Nanjing, so it's okay!"

"If Master Wei has nothing else to do, this junior has to go and count the congratulatory gifts that our lord will give to the Empress Dowager tomorrow, so I'm sorry that this junior won't accompany you!"

After saying that Wang Mi got up and was about to leave, Wei Zhen quickly grabbed Wang Mi with his eyes, and sat him down with the strength of wine, "No hurry! No hurry!"

"I'm just kidding you, old man!"

Why are you in a hurry?
Wang Mi still said seriously, "Some jokes go too far, but they can kill you!"

Wei Zhen was taken aback for a while by the junior in front of him, but he had to ask for help, so he had to admit his mistake, and he had to punish himself with three cups of apology. Wang Mi raised his hand to stop him, and asked straightforwardly, "Master Wei? What's the matter?"
