Red makeup against the world

Chapter 969 Falling (full 15 monthly tickets plus updates)
Not long after she sat down, Yanqing Palace sent a servant to pick her up.

Under the envious eyes, Xu Wanzhen followed the servant on the shoulders and went to Yanqing Palace to meet Empress Dowager Xiao.Compared with the last time we met, Empress Dowager Xiao was still in good spirits, and when she arrived, she made people watch her.

"What do you think really? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll get someone to cook it." Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Xu Wanzhen with a smile, as if seeing her own granddaughter.

Xu Wanzhen nodded with a smile, and said: "The mother said that my pregnancy is very good. I don't have morning sickness, and my appetite is good. If I didn't know that I had a body, I would really feel the same as usual."

Seeing that everything was fine with her, Empress Dowager Xiao laughed and said, "It's called good people are rewarded. Think about how many lives you saved, everyone is thanking you."

"Where is my credit, the empress is really overrated." Xu Wanzhen said hastily.

She almost forgot about the horror of the plague a few years ago.What's more, she was just offering advice, the Queen Mother believed her in the end, Emperor Qinglong adopted her strategy, and the Imperial Hospital and Su Liangzhi implemented it.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled meaningfully, and said: "You don't have to be humble, it is because you have a heart for others that you have the blessings in this world."

In her life, she has experienced many storms.There are really very few women with such a heart like Xu Wanzhen.

Everything she does is based on her heart.

After Xu Wanzhen drank a round of tea with Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Cao sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager to Baolin Garden.

It is the busiest time in the garden.

The sky showed a near-ink blue, and the sunset glow concealed the last golden light in the sky.The palace people lit up lights everywhere, and the well-made lanterns were reflected in the courtyard, shining brightly everywhere.

This winter, Emperor Qinglong's body became weaker and weaker, and he spent most of the time lying in bed and falling asleep, and he didn't have much time to wake up.For this New Year's Eve banquet, the place where he should appear has been given to the crown prince instead.

The front hall is brightly lit, and on the colorful high platform in the middle, female musicians from Jiaofangsi dance lightly, and the cups in the banquet are swaying and staggering.

On New Year's Eve, what is important is a lively and festive celebration. The prince toasted the toast, and everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere reached its climax.Taking advantage of the drunkenness, the honorable ministers began to talk loudly.What the royal family likes to see most is a flourishing scene full of flowers and flowers. It seems that there is no grievance between the people, and they seem extremely affectionate.

Beside a banquet table far away from the prince, Wei Mingqiang, the commander of the Gyeonggi Daying Camp, smiled happily and drank his wine.He didn't even glance at the several delicate and delicious dishes on the table, just drinking one cup after another.

"What kind of cup is this? It's too unsatisfactory!" Wei Ming's face was full of wind and frost, and there was no trace of drunkenness.He held the cup firmly, and fixed his eyes on the sapphire wine cup, as if he had a grudge against the wine in the cup.

Only Lu Haihai, who was sitting beside him, could tell from the bloodshot eyes that he was already quite drunk.

"General, give me the glass, and I'll get you a bigger one." The wine glasses in the palace are not big, but such fine wine is more intoxicating than what they drink every day.

Wei Ming has a good drinker capacity. Although he was greedy for fine wine in the palace in the past, he also knows that drinking too much is a waste of time.But today, he couldn't let go of the news he just received, so he could only seek to get drunk.

Lu Dahai coaxed him to put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked the waiter who was waiting behind him to bring over a bowl of hot broth.

He knew that Wei Ming was in a bad mood, if he was in the camp, he would be fine drinking whatever he wanted.But right now it was the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, if he dared to show resentment, he would inevitably be made a fuss by someone with a heart.

The two were born recklessly, and they have achieved their current status only after shedding their flesh and blood and accumulating military exploits.However, they have been officials in Beijing for many years, and the two have failed to penetrate this sinister officialdom.Thanks to the protection of Emperor Qinglong, Wei Ming was able to secure his position as the top leader of Gyeonggi Daying.

But now, seeing that the prince is involved in more and more political affairs, the emperor has not shown up for a long time.At the time when the old and new powers were changing, because they were only loyal to Emperor Qinglong and were far away from the core of the capital, although they held heavy troops, they had already been excluded from the crown prince's team.

This point can also be seen from the banquet seats where the two of them are.

Therefore, at this time, Lu Dahai couldn't let Wei Ming make mistakes.Although, his heart was full of grief and indignation.

"Come here, here comes the big bowl." Lu Dahai handed the hot soup to Wei Ming.

Wei Minghu stared and asked, "What kind of wine is this? It's still steaming."

Although Lu Dahai's appearance is extensive, he is actually a talent for organic change.In a short time, he found the reason, and said hurriedly: "The boiled wine specially provided by the palace cannot be drunk outside."

Wei Ming nodded in agreement, the two were close buddies who fought together from the battlefield, and they couldn't be trusted more.

He took the broth and drank it down, praised again and again: "Good wine!" His tongue was numb, the alcohol had already confused his mind, and now he couldn't tell that what was contained in this big bowl was not good wine at all.

Seeing him drink, Lu Dahai finally heaved a sigh of relief.In this bowl of soup, he just poured some Mongolian sweat medicine commonly used in the army.Not much, enough for him to sleep peacefully.

After less than a cup of tea, Wei Ming fell down on the table, and made a "boom" when his head hit the wooden table.But he didn't notice it, and fell asleep.

Falling asleep at a banquet is certainly a disgrace, but it is not a big deal when the wine is in full swing.It's a hundred times better than him taking advantage of the wine to say what's on his mind.

Lu Dahai looked at Wei Ming who was sleeping carelessly, and shook his head slightly, but a trace of envy rose in his heart.

Wei Ming is such a reckless man with no heart.Drink when you are sad, and drink when you are happy.As for myself, I had to think more and plan in many ways.

It's a pity that even though he felt that he had considered everything thoroughly, he was still no match for those behind-the-scenes calculations.This kind of life, not only is Wei Ming miserable, but he also wishes to go to the battlefield with real swords and guns, which is better than these silent fights.

Lu Dahai clings to the wine glass, he only touched his lips slightly tonight, and he is very sober.

Where he looked, it was the central figure of the whole banquet - the prince who raised his hands and became more and more powerful.Beside him, next to him are the young heroes of the four major kingdoms' mansions, and the elegant civil servants headed by Fang Shuyu.

These people, including the prince, remind people of an old saying: since ancient times, heroes have produced youth.

Yes, they are all young.Even Fang Shuyu is only in his forties, at the prime of his life as a courtier.

Looking at them from afar, Lu Dahai felt that they seemed to be shrouded in a halo, making him unable to approach them.He sighed slightly in his heart, it turned out that Gyeonggi Daying had unknowingly stepped down.
