New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Che was going to entertain officials. It was the first time for Xiao Xue to meet the civil and military officials of the Southern Kingdom. She was a little nervous. In the afternoon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought her dress, which Xiao Xue had tried on and had it altered.
A good dress, this time it fit very well. She didn't like to attend such occasions because Zhao Che said that he would regret it if she wasn't here. She made up her mind to accompany him to the occasion.
She has been very nervous since the afternoon. In the evening, she has dressed up. The color of her dress is a standard queen's dress, with purple gold edges and exquisite tattoos. It looks a little mature on Xiao Xue. There is a jade-encrusted gemstone on her waist.
Belt, wearing a phoenix blood jade pendant, and a phoenix crown on the head that Zhao Che ordered to re-forge. It is mainly made of gems and jade. It is not so bright and looks a little noble and pretty. Xiao Xue is originally beautiful, so she wears it like this
, more beautiful than thousands of colors, so charming that one cannot look at it.
When Zhao Che saw her, he was still a little absent-minded. Fortunately, he had been through strong winds and waves and had seen many big scenes. He quickly calmed down and didn't seem too glum. Xiao Xue was really beautiful, not the kind who wouldn't eat.
The beauty of fireworks is the kind of beauty that is like an elf, with a little bit of enchantment and a little bit of charm, gathered into an alluring face. Especially at certain times when looking at Xiao Xue, it is even more breathtakingly beautiful.
"Do you look good?" Xiao Xue asked Zhao Che charmingly. Zhao Che nodded and expressed his meaning with a man's eyes, "You are the most stunning woman today. Even a blind man will feel that he is a peerless beauty in front of him."
He doesn't like to talk about love. This is not a love talk, it is a real compliment. Xiao Xue is very happy and helpful, with a hint of sweetness. Lu Zhu and Ruyi, Zhou Zheng and Li Ming are not far behind them, and the group of Hao
Come grandly to the banquet square of the palace.
The civil and military officials have already brought their families to the palace. On the far left are Prime Ministers Beitang Zhennan and Lin Wan'er. On the far right is the Purple Marquis Yang Feng. He is not married yet and has not brought his family members. The other first-level officials have brought their families into the palace. Some of them have brought their families.
The officials specially brought their daughters to the throne, hoping that their daughters would be favored by the emperor. Even if they were named nobles, they would be prosperous and the ancestors would be honored. Everyone knew that Zhao Che was only a queen and the concubines in the harem were vacant. They had a great chance.
Can marry his daughter to the palace.
The emperor and the queen attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the scene. Xiao Xue was really beautiful. Even the men who were married felt that this woman was too beautiful for words. She completely caught their eyes, even if she was as calm as Bei.
Tang Zhennan couldn't help but be amazed. He whispered to Lin Wan'er, "The queen is so beautiful."
Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement. She is beautiful. She has a temperament and is not soft. She has the heroic spirit of a daughter from the North. It can be said that she is strong and soft at the same time. Lin Wan'er does not want to attend today's dinner. She came here purely to see what the queen looks like.
.She knew a little bit about Zhao Che and Yun Buhui, and knew that Zhao Che loved Yun Buhui deeply, so she wanted to know what kind of wife Zhao Che married.
I didn't expect it to be so stunning. To be honest, she is prettier than Yun Buhui. If Yun Buhui's beauty is one in a thousand, the queen's beauty is one in a thousand, no one can match it. Let's look at the interaction between the emperor and the queen,
She felt that the emperor was also very kind to the queen.
Lin Wan'er thought to herself, that's not really what men are like. How can they love a woman and find a new love, but they still forget about the woman they once liked and devote themselves to the new person wholeheartedly. In addition, the new person is beautiful and fragrant. Naturally,
That's another matter.
Lin Wan'er had also heard the emperor's joke. She was afraid that this joke would spread throughout the entire southern country. She found it funny but also felt...complex. To be fair, if there had been no accident and her child had not been miscarried, she would not be disgusted with Zhao Che.
, but the child's matter has become a knot in her heart. She thought that after Zhao Che ascended the throne, Beitang Zhennan would not end well. If he took away her child, he would also take away her husband.
However, what she didn't expect was that Beitang Zhennan was still the prime minister. The emperor reused him without punishment or censure. The resentment in Lin Wan'er's heart had faded a lot, otherwise she would not have attended the dinner tonight.
She originally thought that the emperor must be unhappy. He married a woman he didn't like for the sake of the country and the country. He already had all the power in the world. He had all kinds of women he wanted, but he couldn't get only Yun Buhui. He must have felt sad in his heart.
If there are complaints, there will be resentment, and he will not be very good to the queen. Who knows that on the contrary, he is very gentle and caring towards Xiao Xue, you can tell by looking at his eyes and caring posture.
She asked Beitang Zhennan, "Can a man's feelings change?"
Beitang Zhennan didn't know how to answer Lin Wan'er, so he said, "I will never change my feelings towards you."
Lin Wan'er was heartbroken and bitter at the same time. If she could have another child, her life would be perfect.
Zi Yihou Yang Feng felt that Zhao Che's luck was really extraordinary, so good that it made people jealous.
Zhao Che and the Queen are sitting on the dragon chair together. This is a bit against the rules, but who cares? Today is New Year's Eve, which is a good day. No one cares about such etiquette. Zhao Che doesn't have such a strong aura of ice today, civil and military.
The officials also acted a little more wildly, and the atmosphere was cheerful.
There was a New Year's Eve performance on the stage, and the singing and dancing were amazing. The singing and dancing in the capital lacked the vigor and vigor of the North County singing and dancing, but had the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town. Xiao Xue felt fresh and fascinated.
Zhao Che glanced sideways at her and slightly curved the corners of his lips. She was a novelty child and would try out any novelty she encountered. The same was true for singing and dancing. The weather on New Year's Eve was a bit cold. Zhao Che asked Xiao Xue, "It's cold."
?"
Xiao Xue shook her head, "It's not cold."
Zhao Che had someone pour her a cup of hot milk tea, and Xiao Xue drank it while admiring it. The official daughter below was already ashamed when she saw the queen's appearance. Do you really think they have a chance of winning against her with such a beautiful face?
?
Zhao Che has always given people a very cold feeling. Even when he is with Xiao Xue, except for people who are familiar with him, they can tell that he cares about Xiao Xue. People who are unfamiliar with him will still feel that the emperor has nothing to do with the queen.
, neither cold nor hot, treat each other with respect.
There was a woman who was conceited about her beauty and wanted to perform songs and dances on stage. Xiao Xue was a simple woman and Zhao Che was a simple man. Neither of them felt anything was wrong, but Zi Yihou and Beitang Zhennan
I can see some signs.
This woman is Mu Yunni, the daughter of General Mu. She is a famous talented woman in the capital. She is proficient in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This makes the young men in the capital become obsessed with her and go crazy. Xiao Xue has seen her.
, she had scolded her on the street that day. Mu Yunni had never seen Xiao Xue. Even if she had seen him once a few years ago, she had forgotten it now. Xiao Xue was veiled again that day, so naturally she didn't know that it was Xiao Xue.
.
She wanted to perform, and other officials' daughters also wanted to perform. She couldn't let her steal the limelight, so everyone decided to take Mu Yunni as the leader, and the other women danced a song for her. Everyone cheered, especially a few
Veterans, they wish the emperor could have one or two abundant harems. It’s not that they are dissatisfied with Xiao Xue, but they think the emperor should have three palaces and six courtyards.
Someone wanted to perform, and it was an official lady. Zhao Che couldn't stop him. Today was New Year's Eve, so there was no need to make everyone unhappy. The main reason was that Xiao Xue was already waiting to watch it with interest. Lin Wan'er asked Beitang Zhennan in a low voice, "
The queen is so happy, does she know that this is a dance for the emperor? This is a concubine selection dance specially arranged by the old minister, she doesn't know, right?"
Beitang Zhennan looked at Xiao Xue and said softly, "She seems to really not know."
Lin Wan'er found it incredible. Although the reputation of Prince Beijun was not very good, he was also a shrewd man when he was young. She had also seen Xiao Bing, who was a typical human spirit. Xiao Xue was the princess of Beijun, and Beijun was a thorn in the side of the court. She wanted to
Get rid of it quickly. How could Xiao Xue be so innocent? "The emperor seems to be very happy to watch this concubine selection dance."
Beitang Zhennan added, "I guess the emperor doesn't know either."
Lin Wan'er didn't believe it, how could Zhao Che be so innocent and ignorant? If someone wanted to plot against him, a normal person would have to use a hundred brains to barely be able to talk to him. Beitang Zhennan said, "If the emperor knew, he wouldn't make a joke.
"
Lin Wan'er was speechless.
Mu Yunni and a group of women went to change into dance clothes. Xiao Xue said, "Your Majesty, the women in your capital are more lively and bold than the women in our northern county. I really like them."
There was a thin layer of blush on Xiao Xue's face, and she said it very sincerely. She also wanted to see the difference between dancing and dancing girls from this family. She didn't mean what she said, but for Zi Yihou and Beitang, who had very good internal strength,
As far as Zhennan was concerned, it was not surprising at all. Moreover, these two people deliberately pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip about Zhao Che and the Queen, so they naturally heard it clearly.
Zhao Che was about to say something when Zi Yihou spat out a mouthful of wine. Zi Yihou and Beitang Zhennan were already familiar with each other. Beitang Zhennan couldn't help but laugh. The two big figures were so out of control. Of course, all the officials were curious and raised their eyebrows.
He raised his ears and listened. Zhao Che frowned at Zi Yihou, hinted at him with his eyes, and asked him what happened. Ziyi Hou made a pitiful look as if he had been hit by an arrow, and Zhao Che became more and more puzzled.
Xiao Xue thought this person was cute.
When Beitang Zhennan said this to Lin Wan'er, she couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know what the two proud officials said, and Zhao Che didn't bother to pay attention. He felt that it had nothing to do with them. Anyway, Zi Yihou often had convulsions.
However, Xiao Xue had a question that puzzled him, "What do you mean by your capital? We are from Beijun. You are also from the capital now. Didn't the queen study the three obediences and the four virtues at home? Obey your husband when you marry."
"Never heard of it." Xiao Xue shook her head.
Zhao Che hummed, "The three obediences and the four virtues are obedience to the father before marriage, obedience to the husband once married, and obedience to the son after the husband's death. The four virtues are women's virtues, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's merits."
The faces of Zi Yihou and Beitang Zhennan twitched together. Your Majesty, you married a top-notch queen. Have you become a top-notch queen? They even talked about the three obediences and four virtues with the queen in a serious manner.
