Chapter 619 A big gamble! (1)
Han Jianyuan was stunned, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, all the female relatives who were once ordered to be imprisoned in the Prison God Temple. This time, Princess Heng and others are all imprisoned inside. Princess Jiaying... seems to be imprisoned there."

"You send a reliable person to inspect there quietly and see what's going on there." Yun Shuo ordered in a low voice.

"Yes, rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do it now." Han Jianyuan replied.

"Don't worry, everything should be complete in Fengzhang Palace at this moment, if I want to go there, you should come with me."

Han Jianyuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Fengzhang Hall is the harem, and it is inconvenient for me to go there."

Yun Shuo smiled lightly and said, "What's the matter? Although you are a foreign minister, you are also the queen's elder brother. Let's go together. By the way, I invited several foreign ministers today, not just you, you Don't overthink it either."

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty Long En." Han Jianyuan bowed.

After leaving the Zichen Hall, Han Jianyuan knew who the foreign ministers the emperor was talking about were: Yao Shenglin, the first assistant minister, Wei Linghao, Marquis of Ning, Lingfeng, the principal of the Taiyuan Hospital, Han Jianchen, the Duke of the Town, and the princes and sons of the royal family.

At this time, it was Shen Shi, and the sky was full of sunset glow, shrouding the magnificent and graceful imperial palace. There were palaces and glazed tiles shining with brilliance and splendor.

"Good weather! It must be a good moon tonight. Dear friends, I have hung many lanterns and lantern riddles in the imperial garden. After the banquet in Fengzhang Hall, you can accompany me and the queen to see the lanterns." Guess lantern riddles and enjoy the joy of the people." Yun Shuo waved to the princes and ministers with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Cheng bowed first to thank him, and said with a chuckle, "It's been a while since our palace was so lively! The last time we hung lanterns in the imperial garden and held a palace banquet was when the envoys from various countries came to court. .Thinking about that time, it was really a grand scene!"

Yun Shuo said with a smile: "Tonight's Shangyuan Night is naturally not as lively as that night, but tonight there are only our monarchs and ministers, without those foreign envoys, so we can drink to our heart's content."

The sick King Yan also came today, with half of his weight leaning on his son's shoulders, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said so. No matter how prosperous the night banquet is, it will not be as happy as our monarchs and ministers drinking together. Today we will enjoy the blessings with His Majesty!"

"Brother Yan Wang, you seldom enter the palace. You finally came today, and I will have two more drinks with you later."

Yan Wang immediately waved his hand with a smile: "Oh...Your Majesty, please forgive me. I can't stand without drinking. If I drink, how about it?"

Cheng Wang said with a smile: "Brother Yan Wang is really unlucky. The imperial wine in your Majesty's palace is the fine wine of the former owner of Jiahe Building, Yan's family. You can't drink it outside. If I were you, I would drink two cups even if I tried my best. .”

"Brother Cheng Wang, don't you want to die if you have wine?!" Yun Shuo laughed.

"Other wines are definitely not as important as life, but the prince's full moon wine is definitely the most important! Naturally, you have to drink it to your heart's content and keep drunk! Haha..." King Cheng knew that the emperor was not feeling well these days. Happy, naturally try to talk about happy things.

King Yan looked at the brothers of the Han family who were following behind him, and shook his head silently, thinking that it seemed that the matter had not been resolved.

The Fengzhang Palace in the palace gave a palace banquet, and outside the palace, the imperial capital was also very lively.

The main streets of the Imperial City are covered with palace lanterns. In order to attract business and increase popularity, those merchants and shops are also unique. They hang all kinds of palace lanterns in front of their shops, and lantern riddles are hung under the lanterns. Tourists who guess correctly will receive various prizes. This has always been a custom, but this year the emperor has twin princes, and the world is amnesty. The Lantern Festival in the imperial capital is even more lively.

After Shao Yanran pulled Wei Xiyue out of the palace, she asked for two horses from the guard at the gate, and the two got on the horses and went straight to the downtown street.

Xiao Man was ordered by the queen to go out of the palace to meet Mu Yao, so naturally she didn't expect anyone to ask about her whereabouts, so she set the meeting place at the Chuyingge Jiangnan Restaurant, where the upstarts gather in Dongcheng.

This restaurant was also the one that Han Qian had been to before, because there were cherry blossoms downstairs, so Han Qian suggested to change the name related to cherry blossoms. Afterwards, the emperor saw that Mu Yao had done a lot of things for him. Write him a clothes plaque and give him the name 'weeping cherry'.

When Mu Yao saw Xiao Man, he asked some common questions, and after knowing that Han Qian and the princess and princes were all well, Fang pointed to the next seat and said, "Sit down, you will only return to the palace tomorrow, and you will stay here tonight."

After Xie Xie sat down, Xiao Man said again: "My lord, the empress sent her servants here, and I still have something to say to my lord."

"Well, if you have anything to say, just say it, I didn't tell you, serving the queen is like serving me." Mu Yao picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down.

"Beside the empress, there is a cook with excellent skills. She is a descendant of the former imperial cook. This girl is good at cooking, but she was tricked by the traitor, lost her family property, and lost her relatives. Now she is an orphan girl who lives alone in the palace. By the side of the Empress Dowager.”

Mu Yao nodded and said, "Well, I've heard about this girl—I heard that the little guy from the Shao family has a soft spot for her."

"My lord is right." Xiao Man nodded and said, "What the empress means is that it is really overkill for a person like Miss Yan to stay in Fengzhang Palace to serve her alone."

"Oh?" Mu Yao smiled lightly and raised his head, "Then how does she want to use this person?"

Xiao Man said in a low voice: "The empress wants to let her out of the palace, reorganize the family business, and at the same time, open up a way of making money for the empress."

Mu Yao put the wine cup in his hand on the table with a 'snap', and said with a smile, "Has she finally enlightened?"

Xiao Man smiled, but said nothing.

But Mu Yao didn't care, and just said to himself: "Oh! I finally got the hang of it! People who have sons are different. I have persuaded her so many times before, and the pros and cons of it are so clear from her analysis. She told me a lot of truths! She blocked me back with the phrase "A woman depends on her father and brother at home, and a husband depends on her husband"! You don't know that I was so angry... so angry that my beard straightened !"

After hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"You're still laughing!" Mu Yao rolled his eyes at Xiao Man, and sighed again, "Finally grown up! If this woman wants to truly grow up, she must have a son. Only when she has a son will she know Plan for the future."

"Speaking of the son, in fact, the empress has been worrying about the young master's affairs."

"Worry about me?" Mu Yao shook his head with a smile, poured himself another glass of wine, and sighed, "She still can't worry about her own affairs, and there is that leisurely person who worries about me."

"The empress is worried about the fact that you don't have a caring person by your side. She said that you don't have a son and a half in your 30s. Now that you are too young, you don't feel like it. After decades of happy life, you will grow old in the future. And who should I rely on?" Xiao Man imitated Han Qian's tone, sighed softly, and was actually thinking.
