The prime minister, Zhang Wenfeng, was suspended from his post and fined to guard the city gate, so he directly started working as a low-ranking official.

When the news spread, Zhang Wenfeng immediately became the laughing stock of the public, and almost every look at him had a sneer that couldn't be concealed.

"Hahahaha, it's really unheard of!"

Some people were overjoyed, with their hands behind their backs, looking at Zhang Wenfeng with a sneer on his face.

"I don't know if the Prime Minister will lead the horse for me when I go in and out of the city gate?"

Seeing Zhang Wenfeng's loss of power, the others began to tease him in a low voice.

"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, he is already the laughing stock of the court. I guess I want to hide at home, so I don't have time to worry about what others say."

They talked, squinted at Zhang Wenfeng, and walked past him.

Zhang Wenfeng's old face was flushed with anger, his eyes were full of anger, and he stared at the backs of those people.

This matter immediately became the topic of conversation between the ministers of the DPRK and China. On the way home, Zhang Wenfeng couldn't help hearing laughter from other carriages, and his face darkened even more.

"Hmph! Your Majesty is really good!"

With a bang, Zhang Wenfeng swept the teacup in the study to the place, and the teacup instantly fell apart, leaving a mess on the ground.

The staff members standing opposite him looked at each other in blank dismay. At this moment, no one dared to touch him.

After waiting for a while, a savvy staff member stepped forward and said, "My lord, we have also heard about the affairs of the imperial court. Look, do you want to go to the palace and intercede again, so that the emperor will be spared the matter of guarding the city gate?"

They knew that Zhang Wenfeng had been suspended, but compared with suspension, guarding the city gate was a greater humiliation to the prime minister.

After all, he is the prime minister with power over the court and the head of all officials. If he really goes to guard the city gate, he will lose face.

Zhang Wenfeng is the most face-saving, and regards reputation as extremely important, and the staff members know this.

Therefore, at this time, the aides only mentioned to intercede with the emperor, exempting them from guarding the city gate.

Zhang Wenfeng stared at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground for a while, but did not answer.

The study room suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Zhang Wenfeng finally raised his head, with a sneer on his face: "There is no need to plead, the emperor will naturally come to beg me when the time comes!"

Hearing this, the staff were shocked, but they didn't know why Zhang Wenfeng said this, and they were a little at a loss.

Flower Festival is coming soon.

After Ye Shuyin's gift of marriage was prearranged earlier, Su Lijin and Xiao Shengjin went out to play together.

It's just that the case of Ye Shuyin being burned to death came up unexpectedly, so he didn't mention it again.

At this time, the Huachao Festival came as scheduled, and it was the time to go out to play, so she dressed in a phoenix robe and went straight to find someone to fulfill the promise.

"Queen, what do you want me to do?" Looking up from the memorial, Xiao Shengyun looked at her.

Su Lijin closed the memorial directly and raised her eyebrows: "Could it be that the emperor has forgotten what day is today?"

Xiao Shengyun thought for a while, then raised his black eyes: "Today is the Flower Festival."

"Does the emperor remember what he promised his concubine?" Seeing that he knew, Su Li had a smile on his face, and a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Xiao Shengyun's black eyes were filled with a smile, how could he forget his promise?

only……

"I didn't expect the empress to remember it so accurately. I'm afraid that the Flower Festival has not yet arrived, but her heart has already drifted outside the palace."

Hearing this ridicule, Su Lijin couldn't help complaining: "Your majesty, I'm afraid you learned what you said from the empress dowager. I almost thought you were going to reprimand me."

The queen mother often reprimands the queen, which means that her heart is not in the palace.

Thinking of the Empress Dowager, and seeing that her tone was quite sad, but also mischievous, she looked so cute that one couldn't help laughing, Xiao Shengyun's thin lips curled up.

"Since today is the Flower Festival, let me make some preparations."

Seeing that the exchange promise was successful, Su Lijin's eyes lit up, she got up and went out: "Then the emperor prepares, and the concubine will not disturb you."

Xiao Shengyun shook his head with a smile, looked down at the piles of memorials that had been sorted by category, and raised his hand to quickly review them.

Long before Su Lijin came, he had deliberately dealt with these government affairs one day in advance, and now he handled them with ease and efficiency.

at dusk.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Shengxun was dressed neatly in regular clothes.

They agreed to leave in the evening.

Su Lijin tilted her head and sighed in her heart, unexpectedly, Xiao Shengjin was earlier than her.

"Your Majesty, it's really early for you, the sun hasn't even started to set yet." She sat down.

Xiao Shengyun handed her a snack and said, "I have a promise today, so I will keep it."

"It's almost there."

Hearing this, Su Lijin nodded with light eyes.

She was eating snacks, watching the carriage drive out of the palace, the scenery outside was gradually bustling, and she was in a good mood.

After getting off the carriage, they walked towards the most lively riverside during the Huachao Festival.

There was almost a sea of ​​people there, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the lake was crowded with boats, and the nearby lake was almost invisible.

"You two, why don't you buy a pair of masks to wear, the latest mask of Huachao Festival, I guarantee you will like it!" The vendor beside him said with a smile.

Su Lijin stopped and looked at the dazzling array of masks: "There is indeed a custom of wearing masks during the Huachao Festival, why don't we buy them and wear them?"

Xiao Shengyun nodded, curled his lips and said, "Since you like it, you can buy it."

"Little lady is really lucky, your husband-in-law will buy you everything, and he is really obedient to you!" The peddler laughed.

These words made Su Lijin's face turn red, and she coughed lightly and said, "I will pay for it myself, not asking him to pay."

She took a red female mask, and after putting it on, she asked for money.

But the hand was stopped by a big palm.

Xiao Shengyun took a corresponding male mask and raised his eyebrows: "How can a husband ask his wife to pay for it?"

After finishing speaking, he paid a whole ingot of silver very domineeringly, preventing the peddler from looking for it.

Wearing a mask, more than half of the blush on Su Lijin's face was covered, but her ears were so red that they were about to bleed: "Hmph, I know you're rich..."

boom!
Fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky, and the people exclaimed and stopped to watch.

Su Li looked up, and the fireworks looked like a blooming flower, colorful, and she couldn't help sighing: "It's so beautiful, the fireworks at the Huachao Festival really live up to their reputation."

Also raised his head to look at the fireworks, Xiao Shengyun pursed his lips, but his eyes fell on Su Lijin's face again.

Looking at the fireworks, Su Lijin's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something. She was slightly stunned, and followed her eyes, but unexpectedly saw Liu San flashing into an alley.

Why is Liu San here?
She was puzzled, Liu San was sneaky, and it seemed that there was something unknown.

"Your Majesty, you go to the lake and wait for me first. I'll go shopping and come as soon as I go."

Throwing down these words in a hurry, Su Lijin entered the crowd and chased to the other side of the alley.

She walked fast, and when she turned into the alley, she happened to see Liu San's figure in the corner, and quickly hid to observe.

"The matter of Ye Shuyin is settled, should I give the rest of the money?"

This is Liu San's voice.

Su Lijin's heart skipped a beat, what about Liu San and Ye Shuyin?

On the other end, the masked man standing next to Liu San sneered, "Liu San, you are so incompetent in doing things, and you still want the rest of the money?"

When Liu San heard this, he became anxious: "Anyway, I'm done at least, you hurry up and give me the rest of the money!"

The masked man snorted coldly and said, "It's okay to ask for money, you can check Jiang Bin's identity again, and the money will be given to you then."

"Check Jiang Bin?" Liu San frowned: "What is there for him to check?"

"The queen is just an idiot in the palace, it is impossible to have such a shrewd subordinate as Jiang Bin."

The masked man said mockingly: "There must be someone behind the queen, check Jiang Bin and see if you can find anything."

"I'm not going, and there's no money to add." Liu San muttered.

"If you don't want money and life, you don't have to check." The masked man said coldly.

Liu San trembled all over, looking at the masked man with dim eyes: "Don't, don't, I'll check, I'll check this matter."
