After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Huangfu Chenyang unfolded his sleeves and said loudly, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone quickly sat down and waited for Emperor Nanchen to speak.

"Everyone has worked hard in the past year. There are no kings and ministers tonight, so we can just drink and talk." After saying this, Huangfu Chenyang was the first to raise his glass.

Everyone hurriedly followed along, drank a glass of wine, and the Queen Mother ordered the dancer to come to the palace to perform. Everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing while eating, which was lively and harmonious.

Li Youwei glanced at the high platform. The imperial concubine who often accompanied the new emperor was not there. This was the first time she had been absent from such an occasion since Jiang Qi entered the palace. Maybe Xiaoyuanzi had told her that the real culprit behind the scenes was related to the imperial concubine, or perhaps It's the imperial concubine herself.

Everyone here is a human spirit, and other ministers naturally noticed that it was normal for the conspicuous Concubine Jingxian not to come. After all, she was still in confinement. It was not normal for His Majesty's Concubine Jie Yuhua to not come. Since she followed After the new emperor came to his side, he almost never missed any banquets.

Moreover, the dancer performing in front of the palace today is not from Hongxiufang. All this illustrates a problem. The imperial concubine seems to have fallen out of favor.

Li Youwei went into the palace to investigate Concubine Xian's miscarriage. Many people still knew about it. The concubine avoided coming out at this juncture. Could it be that Concubine Xian's miscarriage had something to do with her?

Everyone has different thoughts in their hearts. The harem and the previous dynasty have always been closely related. Some people saw that the imperial concubine was favored before, but they spent a lot of time to please her.

Now that something happened to her, we must draw a clear line with her immediately.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the ministers began to toast each other. Depending on Li Youwei's current status, one wave after another came to toast her.

Those who looked down on or even bullied Li Youwei in the past also came with drinks. If there was anyone who should not be offended in Nanchen now, Li Youwei was definitely at the top.

She was able to achieve what she is today entirely because of her own efforts. If it were anyone else, she might have died on the battlefield long ago.

Many people envy her current identity and status, but they cannot replicate her success.

"General Li, I'd like to propose a toast to you." Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Civil Service, raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.

Mr. Zhang was only kind to Li You, so she had a drink directly with him, "It is the juniors who should respect Mr. Zhang."

"General Li, you are the pillar of our Nanchen Kingdom. I should respect you. I also want to thank you for taking care of Concubine Shu when we were in Chuxiu Palace."

Mr. Zhang is a grateful person. He will always remember the kindness shown to him by others.

"Master Zhang said something serious, but it's just a little effort."

Li Youwei and Mr. Zhang had a great time chatting with each other, and the people in the back were full of envy. It would be great if they could get along so harmoniously with General Li. It's strange that they were short-sighted and didn't know that Li Youwei Only this way has potential.

After the ministers finished their toasts, the wives of each family came with their young ladies. They didn't care whether they were suitable or not, as long as they could show their faces in front of Li Youwei.

When Mrs. Li saw that Li Youwei was surrounded by a group of people again, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Master, I want to give you a drink soon, do you want to go with me?"

Li Wangshi has been performing well recently, and she is Li Youwei's biological mother after all. For Li Youwei's sake, Li Dengyuan brought her here.

Li Yaozu is already fifteen years old. In the past few years of studying at Hongru Academy, his temperament has become much calmer, and he has become much more thoughtful when considering things.

He thought that everyone else was going to toast, and as close relatives, it would be bad if they didn't go.

"Dad, my mother is right, the three of us should go together."

Li Dengyuan glared at Li Yaozu, "Nonsense, we can't help your sister, the only thing we can do is not to hold her back, do you understand?"

"Master, I don't understand. Isn't it a good idea for us to toast her?" Li Wangshi really wanted to please Li Youwei this time, because Li Dengyuan had a showdown with her last time, and her current status in the Li Mansion , Li Youwei helped her keep it.

She thought that if she had a good relationship with Li Youwei, Li Dengyuan would be happy and he would love her even more.

Li Yaozu's eyes were also confused, "Dad, I don't understand either. It's just a toast. How could it affect the eldest sister?" "Yaozu, you have grown up and you should understand many things. If you let others see your father, If my mother toasts her daughter, she will say that your eldest sister is unfilial behind her back."

People's words are terrible, and the lethality of words is even more painful than a direct hit on the body.

"Dad, I understand. Then you don't want to go there together. I'd better go by myself."

Li Yaozu is the younger brother. When she went to toast her sister, no one could fault her.

"Okay, Yaozu has grown up, go ahead. Your sister loved you so much when she was in the country, and now she is alienated from you. She is also very disappointed in you. You must let her see your ability." Li Dengyuan patted Li Yaozu's shoulder, and warned him earnestly.

"Yes, dad, I will definitely let my eldest sister get to know me again."

Mrs. Li raised her hand to straighten Li Yaozu's clothes, "Yaozu, you are the best in my mother's heart. If I were your eldest sister..."

"Shut up." Before Li Wang could finish what he said, he was interrupted by Li Dengyuan. He really made a mistake. He thought Mrs. Li Wang had made progress. But now it seems that dogs can't change their ways of eating shit, so he won't be soft-hearted anymore.

"Master, why are you so cruel? I didn't want to say anything."

"Hmph, that's best, Yaozu, come over quickly."

"Yes."

When Li Yaozu passed by with a wine glass, Zhou Tengfei was toasting Li Youwei.

Seeing Zhou Tengfei, Li Yaozu couldn't help but feel jealous. The former playboy had now changed his ways, not only had he turned his back on his evil ways, but he had also caught the eyes of his eldest sister, and actually compared him to his younger brother.

Perhaps out of anger, his body bumped into Zhou Tengfei's back.

Zhou Tengfei was not prepared, and the wine in the cup spilled out, spilling every drop on his robe.

Because Sa's position was a bit awkward, Zhou Tengfei's face immediately turned red.

Seeing that he had gotten into trouble, Li Yaozu hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "Captain Zhou, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

Zhou Tengfei hurriedly waved his hand and said it was okay. Although he didn't like Li Yaozu, he was General Li's biological brother after all, and he had to give him enough face.

"Captain Zhou, your clothes are wet. Can I take you out to change into another one?"

"Don't bother Mr. Li, I can go by myself."

Zhou Tengfei said goodbye to Li Youwei, asked the people around the emperor for instructions, and then left the banquet hall with them.

Li Yaozu also knew that he was reckless. After all, Zhou Tengfei was his eldest sister's right-hand man, so the eldest sister wouldn't scold him.

Seeing Li Yaozu coming to propose a toast, everyone else lined up behind him tacitly.

Facing Li Youwei's cold and penetrating gaze, Li Yaozu lowered his head, and his hand holding the wine glass became even more forceful unconsciously.

"Sister, I really didn't mean it."

"Yaozu, there are some mistakes that you cannot make even once. Go back."

Li Yaozu's well-thought-out words were immediately blocked in his mouth. He wanted to defend himself and plead for mercy, but in front of Li Youwei, he had no courage at all.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall, mixed with calls for help.
