The first thousand three hundred and sixty-one chapters celebrate the birthday of a hundred official
Yang Huanhuan was far from being comparable to Su Wan. After listening to Li Yang's plan, he pointed out many shortcomings. Li Yang accepted them all and improved the plan again.
"There should be no problem now. Your Majesty is so awesome. I really admire you."
Li Yang said sincerely.
"Why am I so good? I'm not going to be eaten to death by your kid."
Yang Huanhuan rolled her eyes at him, "That means I like you, and I'm also angry that Concubine Hua insulted you. Otherwise, I really can't go through this muddy water. Concubine Hua will definitely die this time!"
"Thank you, ma'am."
Li Yang said gratefully.
This time he set up a trap. If Concubine Xi didn't help, the probability of his success was only about 60%, but now it was almost certain. He was grateful to Concubine Xi from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you just saying thank you, without a gift?"
Yang Huanhuan said dissatisfied.
"As a royal concubine, you don't need anything. I really can't come up with anything decent to give you right now. Just wait, I will definitely make up for it in the future."
Li Yang looked serious.
"Who wants something from you? If you want to thank me, just kiss me. By the way, kissing on the face is not acceptable."
Yang Huanhuan smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
After saying that, her pretty face turned red. Then she actually asked for a kiss. This, this... it was so embarrassing to be the empress. Li Yang shouldn't have begged her to kiss her, so she didn't bother to pay attention.
Is it right to agree reluctantly in the end?
What?
Li Yang looked at her beautiful face and couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Her relative's face was already very wrong, and she really couldn't agree to this, but her heart was still beating uncontrollably, her breathing was rapid, and her breath was slightly warm.
"Why, are you embarrassed?
Wasn’t he quite manly last night?”
Yang Huanhuan said coquettishly, standing on her tiptoes slightly, her pretty red lips very close to Li Yang.
During the breath, the fragrance is revealed, with a light fragrance.
Even Li Yang could feel the hot breath on his cheek.
"I'm a man, what's the point of being embarrassed? I'm just afraid. I...I'm young and I'm more impulsive. If I kiss you, I won't be able to control myself. I won't care about your menstrual period."
Li Yang argued.
"If you can't control it, then you don't have to control it."
Yang Huanhuan had a smile on her face and her voice was sweet and seductive, just like a witch alive.
Gudong.
Li Yang swallowed involuntarily and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
"Haha, don't be nervous. I won't tease you anymore. You go sit in the living room. I'll wash your hair and then go out to accompany you."
Yang Huanhuan smiled.
"Mother, I would like to take a leave of absence to visit my senior sister and have a chat with her."
Li Yang said.
"You can go see her, but I don't agree with you telling her our plan. Acting is different from being really annoyed that someone wants to harm her. Also, remember to come back before dark. You have to warm my bed tonight and keep me company.
I watch TV!”
Yang Huanhuan said indifferently, with a noncommittal tone.
"Bed warmer?"
Li Yang's face turned red and he quickly retreated.
Any man would be overjoyed when faced with Concubine Xi's request, but Li Yang had already decided not to return to Xihua Palace today. He would take Zhou Xue out of the palace after the Queen Mother's birthday party tomorrow.
There is nothing wrong with playing tricks on occasion to achieve the goal, but there is also a limit. This warm bed hugging her under the quilt and watching TV together is too much and too inappropriate! "Begonia, go to Su Wan's place and give me a message.
At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she was told to maintain the same attitude as Concubine Xi."
Li Yang found Haitang and said indifferently.
"Okay, senior brother, does it feel good to press our mother-in-law?"
Haitang said with a warm expression.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Yang glared at her.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it through the window last night."
Haitang Qie said.
"You haven't finished reading it, but we actually have nothing to do with each other."
Li Yang clarified.
Haitang smiled and walked away, not believing it at all.
Li Yang shook his head helplessly and left the palace directly. He did not go to Biyue Palace to see Zhou Xue. Concubine Xi's words still made sense. There was really no need to communicate with Zhou Xue. Then Li Yang went directly to Qifu Mountain and found a secluded place. Cultivation of internal strength.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed.
The next day, there was a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother. All civil and military officials went to court early to send gifts and congratulate her. The queue was very long, from the main hall of Qianqing Palace to outside the Meridian Gate.
Qingyang City Governor Liu Pengfei and the Minister of War Qiu Yutang were also among the team.
One of them is a high-ranking official in the border area, and the other is an important member of the Ministry of War. They are both invited. In fact, Li Yang is also invited, but he is destined not to come.
"Master Qiu, you have to keep your mouth shut. Don't come back to the dynasty and say something unfavorable to Li Yang."
Liu Pengfei said rather uneasily.
"I am a loyal minister, so Li Yang not only killed the prince, but also supported himself as a soldier and was so ambitious, how could I not retaliate?"
Qiu Yutang said angrily.
"Hey, my Lord Minister, please keep your voice down. Can you talk about this matter? Don't forget how we reported it to the court before. Besides, your daughter can live in Baihu Pass."
Liu Pengfei quickly admonished and reminded.
"Hey, I was dragged into the trap by Li Yang, the rebellious traitor. Don't let me see him. I'll get angry if I see him!"
Qiu Yutang sighed helplessly and said angrily, his teeth itched when he mentioned Li Yang.
About four hours later, the two of them finally lined up in front of the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, Qiu Yutang, pays homage to the Emperor, pays homage to the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother a long life."
Qiu Yutang knelt down and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, Liu Pengfei, pays homage to the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother good health."
Qiu Yutang knelt aside and followed closely.
The Queen Mother hung the curtain behind her and did not say a word. The Emperor Zhu Wenyu said: "Qiu Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a while. You have worked hard in Qingyang City supervising the Shanhe Army."
Qiu Yutang raised his head: "I am scared and ashamed."
He actually meant that he failed to control the Shanhe Army, and that he had owed a heavy trust and the emperor's favor. However, Zhu Wenyu only thought that he wanted to mention the fact that the prince died in Qingyang City, and immediately changed the subject: "Ai Qing, today is the queen mother's. Birthday, don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said, by the way, why are you two here in Qingyang City, and where is Li Yang commanding the army of all mountains and rivers?"
Qiu Yutang didn't say anything, he was really too lazy to excuse Li Yang's lies.
"Why, Li Yang is supporting his own troops and not obeying the emperor's orders?
On the birthday of the Queen Mother, I have issued a strict edict to all officials of third rank and above from all over the country to come to the court to celebrate her birthday. Does he dare to come?"
Zhu Wenyu frowned and said coldly.
The emperor was furious, and everyone in the hall was trembling.
"Information to the Emperor, Li Yang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Mountains and Rivers Army, is suffering from a serious illness and has been ill for more than half a month. Although Li Dutong cannot come to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, he has asked me and Mr. Qiu to deliver birthday gifts on his behalf, including three thousand cattle and sheep. All the gold coins have been registered and handed over to the Ministry of Rites."
Liu Pengfei said quickly.
"Yeah.
Li Yang is sick, what a coincidence?"
Zhu Wenyu looked down from a high position.
"Yes, it must be..." Liu Pengfei replied.
"Shut up, I won't ask you, Qiu Aiqing, tell me, is what the Governor of Qingyang City said true?"
Zhu Wenyu first scolded, then looked at Qiu Yutang.
"This...it's true. Li Dutong was infected with smallpox. His whole body was covered with malignant sores, and pus flowed all day long. It was so miserable."
While Qiu Yutang was asking for help, he also cursed Li Yang. Li Yang was so bad that he should be cured of this disease!
