Chapter 412 The Queen's Edict (1)
"The wind is the rain." Yun Shuo shook his head helplessly.

"Will you go?" Han Qian began to shake someone's arm.

"It's not good, the guards are also on shifts to celebrate the New Year, if we go out of the palace, we must call them back."

"Go out quietly, at the feet of the emperor, what can happen? General Qianye and Qianxun are not enough? If it's not enough, call Wei Linghao and Shao Juncong?" The empress continued to hug someone Shake and shake.

"It's still not very good." The emperor frowned and shook his head.

"Okay, you stay here and read your sage book carefully, I'll go out to get some air." Han Qian said, let go of her arms, got up and left.

Yun Shuo pulled her back: "Change clothes, let's go."

"Okay!" Empress Han immediately smiled.

The two of them changed into ordinary casual clothes, one dressed up as a gentle and elegant Mr. Chuchu, and the other dressed up as a round and jade-like Xiaojiabiyu.The warm sedan chair was carried to the entrance of Fengzhang Hall, and the two of them got on the sedan chair together, went out from the North Palace Gate, crossed Xuanwu Street, turned west, and went straight to the most prosperous downtown in the imperial capital.

The new year is on the tenth day of the first lunar month, but the first wave of excitement has passed, and everyone has entered the new program of the Shangyuan Festival.

Various juggling groups such as walking on stilts and dancing dragon lanterns appeared one after another, all preparing for the climax of the Lantern Festival night.

And those small merchants also seized the opportunity to start selling all kinds of handicrafts such as purses, fan pendants, sachets, etc., specially for those men and women who are waiting for you with "the head of the willow on the moon, after the dusk". We offer props for the Merry Tale.

When he arrived in the downtown area, Han Qian refused to take the car and insisted on walking, and made an excuse: "Physician Wei said that after three months of pregnancy, you can walk more. And I was bored in the house for more than three months. They have been fattened up several times, even the embroidered dragons are fat, and they were almost laughed at by the ministers, so I have to go down for a walk, go and get rid of the fat.”

Now that she has come out, Yun Shuo can't be very against her, lest he go back after playing badly and find faults.Looking at the dark guards all over the street, front, back, left, right, and right, he nodded in agreement.

The carriage stopped by the side of the road, Yun Shuo went down first, turned around and carried Han Qian off the carriage.

Their males are plump and handsome, while their females are bright and charming. At first glance, they look like newlywed couples coming to go shopping. Although the people on the street come and go, they all have kind smiles.

Yun Shuo was secretly refreshed, feeling that his ten years of hard work was not in vain after all, seeing the folk customs of the imperial capital was enough to be proud for a while.

Han Qian didn't think too much about it. She was naturally optimistic and couldn't hold back when she was in a lively place. When Yun Shuo didn't pay attention, she broke away from his hand and ran to a grocery stall.

"Hey, how much is this purse?" Han Qian held a wishful-shaped purse and looked over it over and over again. Although this embroidery worker can't compare with the embroiderers in the palace, the stitches are ordinary and the pattern is simple, but there are great ingenuity. the meaning of.

"This lady... If you really fall in love with this purse, ten cents will be taken away!" The salesman said with a smile on his face.

"Ten Wen?" Han Qian frowned, thinking that this is much better-looking than the one she embroidered, and it only sells for ten Wen even with materials?The one I embroidered...

Yun Shuo just leaned over, looked at the things in Han Qian's hand, and asked, "Like it? Buy it if you like it."

"It's only ten coins." Han Qian looked at Yun Shuo disappointed.

"Why, do you think it's cheap to buy something?" Yun Shuo asked funny.

"No." Han Qian naturally knew that when buying things, there were only expensive ones, not cheap ones.

"We won't buy it if it's too cheap." Yun Shuo said with a smile.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately took five or six purses and handed them to Han Qian with a smile: "Don't! If you think ten cents is cheap, we still have expensive ones here! Look, young lady. Look at this, this 25 Wen, this, this [-] Wen, you can pick them one by one, we have all kinds of purses here, and they are the most complete on this street! You will definitely find something you are satisfied with!”

Ten coins, after looking at it for a while and not buying it, Han Qian also felt that it was not kind enough, so he began to pick and choose among the pile of purses.

Suddenly, she saw a honey-colored purse embroidered with a pattern with gold thread, which was quite similar to the one she embroidered years ago, so she hurriedly picked it out and asked, "This, how much is this?"

"Yo, this one is expensive." The salesman stretched out his palm and counted with Han Qian: "This one costs fifty cents."

Fifty coins is naturally not a lot of money for the empress, but compared with the previous ten coins, it is equivalent to a sky-high price.Moreover, the fabric embroidery of this purse is not much worse than that of the ten-character one, so Empress Han asked in wonder, "This...why is this so expensive?"

"Oh, young mistress, don't you know? You must be a rich man, why don't you even know this? This is the latest pattern this year. This is a dragon. Of course, long live the empress! The dragon embroidered by the master is a flying dragon, and we common people can’t use it. This dragon has no eyes and only three claws, but its demeanor and body shape are all the same as the one embroidered by the empress! Wealth! It symbolizes peace and prosperity for the country and the people! It is said that wearing such a purse can not only bring you good luck in the New Year, but you can also have children, and you will surely have a big fat boy!" The salesman finished speaking vividly, and glanced at the Yushu Linfeng next to the young lady Lord, he laughed again and said: "You came early now, so you still have this one. If you are later, there will be nowhere to buy it for fifty renminbi!"

Han Qian endured the pain with a smile, turned around and giggled, covering his mouth.

Yun Shuo turned around and asked Qianye behind him for money: "Take the money, buy it."

Qianye hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and put it in the shopkeeper's hand: "Let me tell you, how much money do you have in your fat dragon purse? We bought them all."

Winter goes to spring, the sky is dry and things are dry.

The border of Dayun Dynasty is stable, the government is smooth and the people are harmonious, and the palace is also very safe.

There is only one thing that is not very good, and that is——His Majesty got angry.

The cause of the matter is this.

That day, several ministers discussed the state affairs with His Majesty in the Zichen Palace. The main content of this discussion was the question of who the next chief assistant, Mr. Xiao, would take over as the chief assistant of the cabinet. In addition, one of the seven members of the cabinet was missing. It is necessary to add another one, otherwise when the emperor wants everyone to vote on some important decision, even numbers are not easy to handle.

This is the choice of two important candidates, one is the new Chief Assistant, and the other is the newly promoted elder.

Several people got together and immediately divided into three factions.Each faction has its own candidates, and they can't compete with each other.

The emperor sat silently on the dragon chair, listening to the quarrel of the six ministers in front of him, his thoughts flew to nowhere for a moment.
