The sun sets in the west, the darkness swallows the sky, and everything falls into the night.

At the moment when the sun sets...

On the top of Chao'an City, several soldiers beat gongs and drums.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

clang clang clang...

These gongs and drums have no rhythm at all, and seem to be beating randomly, but the gongs and drums are filled with a different sense of joy, as if they are announcing the complete arrival of the New Year to the people of Chao'an City.

After hearing the gongs and drums, the people in Chao'an City all laughed.

For a moment, Chao'an City seemed to be surrounded by laughter and joy, very warm.

...

at the same time.

In the palace.

Family dinner is also being held.

The family dinner was held in a place called ‘Suiping Hall’.

The construction of this hall is imitated by Guanglu Temple, which is very similar to Guanglu Temple. It is divided into outer halls and inner halls, which are very wide.

This Suiping Hall has never been opened on weekdays and only once a year.

Only open once on the New Year's Day, family dinners are held.

Because the Suiping Hall is wide, many of the selected attendants in the harem do not have to go to the outer hall, but stay in the inner hall.

At this moment, in the inner hall.

The elected waiters were talking in a low voice, laughing and fighting.

This was approved by the Queen Mother who was sitting on her head.

According to the Queen Mother, today's New Year's family banquet is not too restrictive, you can be more casual.

It is also because of the Queen Mother's words that these elected servants dared to whisper and chat, otherwise they would be given ten courage and would not dare to do this in front of the Queen Mother.

Above the inner hall.

In addition to the emperor's highest seat, the Empress Dowager and Ji Ning were sitting on both sides.

Further down, Lin Qingyi and Zhuge Ying, who are also the Imperial Concubine.

Ji Ning's identity is obviously higher than Lin Qingyi and Zhuge Ying.

The reason is very simple.

Ji Ning gave birth to prince Li Hao, which was very popular with the emperor. In addition, Ji Ning was the emperor's favorite concubine.

Ji Ning's status is the first person under the Empress Dowager.

Moreover, there has been news in the harem that the emperor intends to make Ji Ning the queen.

This news was spread throughout the harem, and it was not blocked by the empress dowager or the other two imperial concubines. This also made the entire palace agree that Ji Ning was the queen.

Ji Ning was wearing a light blue fairy dress, holding Li Hao in her arms, her beautiful face was full of softness, especially her beautiful eyes, full of maternal love.

The Empress Dowager looked at Ji Ning and couldn't help but smile and said, "Ning'er, let the wet nurses take care of Hao'er first. Today is a family dinner, but you must not be distracted, so as not to make the emperor unhappy."

She called Ji Ning, and she directly called it "Ninger", which shows how much she likes Ji Ning.

Well, to be precise, it is my love for Prince Li Hao.

Love the house and the underworld is my love for Ji Ning.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning looked up and chuckled, "Okay, Empress Dowager."

She then stood up and carefully handed Li Hao in her arms to a wet nurse next to her.

Seeing this, the empress dowager stood up slightly, and with the support of two palace maids beside her, she walked to Ji Ning, held Ji Ning's jade hand, and smiled and said, "Ning'er, you don't have to be so arrogant. Just call me as the emperor, just cry out to my mother."

Wow...

The Queen Mother's voice was not loud, but when everyone on the court was paying attention, it was obvious that everyone heard the Queen Mother's words.

Let Ji Ning call the Queen Mother "My Mother".

Isn’t this a disguised statement that the Empress Dowager has already admitted that Ji Ning is the Queen of the Tang Dynasty?

With various power and status, Ji Ning can now say that he has the power of the queen, but the only difference is the name of the queen.

Many of the selected servants on the field showed envious eyes.

How can they not be envious?

Everyone has risen from the position of imperial concubine to the queen.

And they still chose to serve, and they had never even met the emperor several times.

They all doubted whether the emperor would simply consume more food in the palace.

Otherwise, why haven't I come to them to take a look...

Just when many of the elected servants were envious.

Ji Ning also came back to her senses, and the surprise on her pretty face soon disappeared. She nodded gently and said, "My mother."

"Um."

The Empress Dowager smiled happily, held Ji Ning's jade hand, and said, "Ning'er, have you and the Emperor considered when another prince will be born? The Ai family told you that our royal family in the Tang Dynasty has withered people, especially the emperor's lineage, just the emperor and Hao'er, are you just needing to have a sprout of your branches..."

She began to mutter.

This made Ji Ning stunned.

How many months has she given birth to the prince? She gave birth to another one?

The Empress Dowager didn't care about that much, just pulled Ji Ning and muttered.

After reading a lot, she reminded Lin Qingyi and Zhuge Ying to let them remember to give birth to a princess as soon as possible.

Then, the Empress Dowager began to brag about what she had experienced and what she had seen back then, and what she had experienced in the harem now, and what she had experienced.

Well, in short, it expresses a meaning.

You women, don’t do this every day, I can see these things clearly.

Anyway, Lin Qingyi next to her was speechless. Those present had never heard of the deeds of the empress dowager, otherwise they would have a slap in the face.

The empress dowager's remarks continued until the emperor came.

"Your Majesty is here!"

When the eunuch's words resounded in the hall.

The entire Suiping Palace was in full bloom.

A famous servant stood up one after another, tidied up his clothes, and each smiled, wanting to present his best side to the emperor.

At the gate of Suiping Hall.

The emperor in a dragon robe stepped forward, followed by several eunuchs.

"See Your Majesty."

The emperor walked along the way, and many elected servants saluted one after another.

The emperor was unmoved and walked to the top, sat down on his seat, then waved his sleeves and said, "Let's flat."

This set of movements was smooth and smooth. Obviously, after being the emperor for a long time, he learned everything he should learn, and he deleted everything he could not learn.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

With the emperor's approval, many elected servants were relieved.

Li Cheng didn't care about these elected servants and directly turned his attention to the three imperial concubines and the empress dowager.

...

What he didn't notice was.

At one corner of the many select waiters below.

Wei Qing sat in front of a table seat, staring at Li Cheng gloomyly.

There was hatred and helplessness in her eyes...

To be honest, although the hatred in her heart still exists, it has gradually faded as time goes by.

The reason why I say revenge is just to give myself a pretext.

But now, the emperor has thoroughly investigated his former ministers, and she has absolutely no way out, and she has to make moves.
