Only then did Mrs. Li finally understand why the Queen Mother had let her out and entertained her with delicious food and drinks, while Wang Shanggong had been kicked out. The Queen Mother had probably already settled this situation.
Here, the Empress Dowager's move was to force her to break with the Li family!
The Queen Mother is such a good calculator!
Sheng Shaoqing: Then...it's not that powerful.
Li Lingjiang got the answer he wanted, turned around and retreated gracefully, but Mrs. Li suddenly turned back to look at Sheng Shaoqing on the high seat. Sheng Shaoqing was listening to their conversation with his ears raised, and suddenly met Mrs. Li's gaze, and an inexplicable flash occurred in her heart.
Feeling guilty for a while, I could only nodded politely to her, smiled and looked away.
Mrs. Li's mental activity intensity reached its peak after seeing Sheng Shaoqing's smile at this moment.
Mrs. Li: The weasel’s New Year greetings to the rooster are unkind and hypocritical!
Mrs. Li: I might as well have crashed to death that day and saved myself all this suffering.
Mrs. Li: Wuwuwu, it’s over now. Ansheng’s old life will never be better.
Mrs. Li: Why is the Queen Mother so mean? I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have worked hard without any merit. Although I didn't treat the Queen Mother well before, I didn't bully others like this?
Sheng Shaoqing quickly stopped the psychological peeping function, otherwise she would be annoyed to death by the crying Mrs. Li.
And the banquet was just as she expected. She didn't even eat a single bite. She just nodded and smiled and toasted her. Sheng Shaoqing couldn't help but swallowed again when she thought about the fresh meat buns that were filling her belly in the afternoon.
"Nanjing envoy Wang Mi has arrived!"
Everyone looked at this powerful official from the south with curiosity. A legendary figure who was born in the Wang family of Langya was finally willing to assist the legendary figure who was born in the reckless emperor, and even married his sister to Emperor Ming. At that time, many people openly and secretly disparaged him for the sake of
Bow with authority.
They had all forgotten that Emperor Ming, a reckless emperor, was initially saved by Wang Mi.
Under the guidance of the young eunuch, Wang Mi slowly walked up to the main hall.
This was the first time he stepped into the center of Beiliang's powerful people. He walked step by step in front of Sheng Shaoqing amidst the gazes of everyone who were either exploring or surprised.
"Foreign Minister Wang Mi has paid a visit to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. I wish Your Majesty and the Queen Mother a long and prosperous life!"
His arrival was like the warm wind before the spring rain, bringing mist with it and sweeping across the hall in an instant.
Duanfangjunzi, as gentle as jade, is exactly the right word to describe the man in front of me.
However, in addition to this earthly temperament, there are also bits and pieces of heroic spirit. He has been on the battlefield and is used to seeing corpses wrapped in horse leather, but there is no trace of vicissitudes in his body. Instead, he is full of vitality and vigorous hope.
It was the first time that Sheng Shaoqing saw such two contradictory temperaments appearing harmoniously in the same person. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing and let him get up.
Today was a palace banquet, not a formal meeting, so Wang Mi bowed and entered the table under the guidance of the young eunuch.
Wang Mi's arrival was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, stirring up layers of microwaves and then disappearing quietly. The noisy hall returned to hustle and bustle after a sudden silence.
Wang Mi himself seemed to be used to such scenes. After sitting down calmly, he steadily picked up the wine glass.
Sheng Shaoqing couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and once again turned on the psychological peeping function, blocking the noisy Mrs. Li, and flooding the girl's heart. After Mrs. Xu, who had been roaring in her heart, was forced to turn off the microphone, Sheng Shaoqing concentrated on studying Wang Mi's
Inner world.
Wang Mi has a high position and is not supposed to serve as an envoy to foreign countries. But now that he is here, Beiliang will not treat him as an ordinary envoy and directly arrange his position behind Ji Wenxuan and Wei Zhen.
.
Wang Mi: The permissions are not enough, please contact the system to upgrade.
Ji Wenxuan: The permissions are insufficient, please contact the system for upgrade.
Wei Zhen: How could there be such a talent in Nanjing? He could have the same demeanor as I did back then.
Sheng Shaoqing: "..."
Putting aside the stinky Wei Zhen, Sheng Shaoqing asked the system, "Why do you still need to upgrade this function?"
[Literally, your level points are not enough, and the function permissions cannot be fully opened. Please pay the fee before activating it.]
"Then why can I see Wei Zhen's?!"
[That’s right, their city is like a big house. You can only view the first three houses you enter, and you need to use points to unlock the back yard. But today is the Chinese New Year, I can help you upgrade some permissions, so that
You can see part of their minds, and now you can choose which one to watch?】
Sheng Shaoqing resisted the urge to curse on this beautiful day and politely replied, "Wang Mi's."
Ji Wenxuan, she can definitely wait and see for herself after upgrading, the future is long.
But Wang Mi, there is no shop like this in this village. When he returns to Nanjing in a few days, where will she look?
[OK, please wait a moment, the system is activating it for you.]
After a while, Sheng Shaoqing could see some pictures appearing above Wang Mi.
This is the picture...
It was like snowflakes falling all over the screen of an old TV intermittently. Sheng Shaoqing tried hard to see clearly, only to realize that the picture was actually black and white.
"You are a defective product, aren't you?"
[Civilization value-1.]
The system's tone was very calm, and it was mentally prepared for such a reaction from the host.
[As I said, it’s free, so don’t be too demanding.]
Sheng Shaoqing: "…………"
Cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap. Sheng Shaoqing once again deeply realized this truth.
Forget it, let's just watch it.
At this time, Wang Mi was holding a wine glass and walked up to Ji Wenxuan. The two of them didn't know what they said, and the picture on Wang Mi's head turned into a fox.
As for why Sheng Shaoqing could accurately recognize that it was a fox and not some other dog or wolf in such a blurry situation, it was because the fox was actually wearing a suit and tie, and the more Sheng Shaoqing looked at the fox, the more familiar it seemed...
…
This seems to be...
Nick from Zootopia???
There was a modern animated fox image floating above the head of an ancient man with fluttering clothes. Sheng Shaoqing was really unable to accept it. Just when he was about to ask the system what kind of supernatural function this was, the system's proud tone sounded again:
[As I said a long time ago, I am a high-level system with high quality and civilization. Is the image translated in this way direct and clear enough? 】
"Show, you show off."
So, Wang Mi is saying in his heart that Ji Wenxuan is an old fox?
After that, Wang Mi walked directly in front of Wei Zhen and returned to his seat. Wei Zhen was so angry that his beard curled up, and there were eight big characters floating on his forehead: Ignorance, how dare you despise me.
This font size indeed allows Sheng Shaoqing to feel Wei Zhen's anger very intuitively.
Wang Mi pulled the attendant beside him and ordered something in his ear, and the attendant exited the hall from the corner.
But the picture above his head actually turned into a white cloud.
In order to highlight how white the clouds are, the whole picture except for the clouds is black. Only the cloud is floating around in the center of the picture, spread out and relaxed.
Sheng Shaoqing racked his brains to come up with the only reasonable explanation. He should be asking Yunzhi?
"Forget it, let's turn it off. It's too laborious."
The system turned off the screen obediently. Sheng Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and started looking for the seven lucky people who passed the written examination.
Director Chang said he would arrange them in a conspicuous position: "The Queen Mother can be seen at a glance from the phoenix throne."
But Sheng Shaoqing patrolled the hall three times and couldn't find the seven gourd babies.
Sheng Shaoqing turned away, and Cui Yun also walked forward in time, "What are your orders from the Queen Mother?"
"Didn't Superintendent Chang say that you can see it at a glance? How come the Ai family has been looking for so long and can't find anyone?"
Cui Yun wondered, "They are right there."
"Where is that?"
Cui Yun leaned down and wanted to point out the direction for Sheng Shaoqing, but her smile gradually became awkward, "Queen Mother, if you really want to see her... or... let's summon her tomorrow..."
"what do you mean?"
Cui Jun spoke with difficulty, "When the Queen Mother entered the palace, did she ever see a long case in the long pavilion outside the door?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty...if you stand up now...you can see...the seven young men."
Director Chang said that he could see it at a glance from the phoenix throne, but he did not say whether he was standing or sitting...
No wonder she can see it when she is standing and talking, but not when the Queen Mother is sitting down.
From the position of the Queen Mother, looking down, the long case outside the palace will be completely blocked by the stone steps in front of the palace door...
Not to mention the people sitting in front of the long desk.
Sheng Shaoqing: "…………"
"Do you still need Aijia to stand up and watch?"
Cui Yun's embarrassing habit of embarrassing Superintendent Chang recently happened again, "Wei Chen estimates that these young princes have no official positions and no rank. If they sit in the palace, they are afraid of causing controversy, so they can only arrange
We are outside the hall, and the most conspicuous thing outside the hall is the long pavilion, but unexpectedly it is blocked by the stone steps of the main hall."
Sheng Shaoqing's wishful thinking of having an interview in advance was completely shattered. When he turned around, he saw Yuan Che, who was originally sitting on the throne, running up to him at some point.
Yuan Che gently tugged on Sheng Shaoqing's dress, and Sheng Shaoqing leaned down. Yuan Che whispered in Sheng Shaoqing's ear, "Mother, are you hungry?"
The dance in the hall has been replaced by a juggling act, which attracted bursts of cheers. The surrounding sounds became more and more noisy. Sheng Shaoqing could only straighten his neck, lowered his head and said to Yuan Che, "The queen has had her belly in the afternoon. This time."
Are you hungry? Didn’t you eat the snacks that the queen sent you?”
"My son ate it, and I was worried that his mother would be hungry."
On weekdays, mother and son were very aware of each other's appetites, and the little they had in the afternoon was just enough to fill their teeth, so their stomachs made tacit understanding at the same time. Fortunately, the juggler was getting to the point of the performance, and everyone in the palace was excited.
They cheered in unison, and the sound of "Gulu" was drowned in the layers of sound.
"Mother is not hungry!"
"I'm not even hungry there!"
Mother and son smiled at each other and watched the juggling together.
Wang Mi frowned slightly when he saw the interaction between Sheng Shaoqing and Yuan Che on the high platform. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.
He reached out to hold the wine bottle on the table, but realized that he had drank the whole bottle again without realizing it. Just as he was about to ask the waiter for another bottle of wine, Wei Zhen sat down on him with the wine.
in front of the table.
"Why is Mr. Wang drinking alone?"
"Master Wei, I've admired you for a long time! I've admired you for a long time! But what you said is wrong. How could you tell that this junior is drunk?"
Wei Zhen laughed. He had been looking up to you for a long time, but he said on his face: "Other people haven't finished one pot yet, but Wang Xianggong has already drank three pots. Isn't he drunk?"
Wang Mi Canran smiled and said, "Hey, Mr. Wei, I don't know something. This junior has a hobby. When he is in a good mood, he must drink five bottles to be fully satisfied. What's more, this great Liang wine is indeed better than one taste.
See, the mouth is mellow and the aftertaste is long, so the younger generation will naturally fall in love with it!"
Wei Zhen cursed secretly, "I asked you to pretend, keep pretending!"
"Then Mr. Wang, can you please have a drink with me?"
Wang Mi was frightened by the flattery and said, "Master Wei, this junior is really asking for your love!"
Wei Zhen's heart was filled with hatred and he couldn't get what he wanted. He was sitting next to Ji Wenxuan just now. It was as if you couldn't see me. You didn't come over to toast, but now you want me to come over to toast you. What a great honor!
If not...
Wei Zhen filled up the wine glass in his hand, then took the wine glass from Wang Mi's hand, filled it up and gave it back to Wang Mi. Wang Mi looked at Wei Zhen's fluent operation in astonishment. If it hadn't been for his own cup
The clear waves in the water reflected his clear and confused eyes, and he thought Wei Zhen hadn't done anything yet.
The tough folk customs of Daliang are indeed worthy of their reputation!
"Master Wang Mi Jingwei!"
Wei Zhen clinked glasses with Wang Mi, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. A stream of hot water flowed through his stomach, making Wei Zhen burst into tears.
Wang Mi smiled and said to Wei Zhen, "Master Wei shouldn't drink alcohol often, right?"
"How can there be?!" Wei Zhen's mouth was hard, and his eyes were even harder, holding back the tears, "I drink half a catty a day to keep fit!"
Wang Mi did not expose him and continued to compliment him, "Master Wei is such a good drinker!"
"Master Wei, do you have anything else to do?" Wang Mi didn't think that Wei Zhen simply came to him for a drink.
"I, what can happen to me?" Wei Zhen gritted his teeth and pretended not to care, "I often heard that under Emperor Ming of Nanjing was your Grand Prime Minister, I'm just curious."
Wang Mi immediately woke up after hearing this. Is this old man trying to kill him?!
Wang Mi immediately said seriously, "Master Wei, be careful what you say!"
Wei Zhen still laughed and said, "You are in Great Liang now, not in your Nanjing, so it doesn't matter!"
"Master Wei, if you have nothing else to do, I have to go and count the gifts that our king will send to the Queen Mother tomorrow. I'm sorry that I won't accompany you!"
After saying that, Wang Mi stood up and was about to leave. Wei Zhen quickly grabbed Wang Mi with his eyes and hands, and with the strength of his wine, he forced him to sit down, "No hurry! No hurry!"
"I'm just kidding you!"
Why are you so impatient?
Wang Mi still said seriously, "Some jokes go too far, but they can kill people!"
Wei Zhen was stunned for a while by the junior in front of him. However, he asked for help and had to admit his mistake. He also punished himself with three glasses of wine to make amends. Wang Mi raised his hand to stop him and asked straight to the point, "Master Wei, what are you doing?"
