Under the guidance of the eunuch Gong'e, when the two arrived near a main hall, the sky had already darkened. There were sparkling waves in the distance, like water reflecting the palace lanterns on both sides.
Zhang Yuqing took a look.
Lu Wei said: "That's the Taiye Pool, and we once took a boat on it."
Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly. She and Lu Wei just got married when they were on the boat. They were still wary of each other. How could they have imagined that one day they would be together and enter the palace again.
Lu Wei probably remembered the past when the two were newly married, and held Zhang Yuqing's hand tightly.
At this moment, there was a commotion behind the two of them. When they looked back, they saw the ministers walking towards a young man surrounded by flowers.
That man was clearly Jin Yongxiu, who destroyed King Jiangxia's rebels.
Today is a festive celebration banquet. Not only the wives and concubines are dressed luxuriously and exquisitely, but also a considerable number of ministers have their faces smeared with powder and have flowers in their buns.
It would be better if they were young civil servants, but the older ones... Zhang Yuqing only glanced at them and looked away, which was too harsh.
A group of ministers gathered around Jin Yongxiu, who was now extremely successful and favored by the saints. They poured out compliments and flattery as if they were free of charge. They praised Jin Yongxiu as the only one in the world. He was simply the reincarnation of the God of War and the descendant of the martial arts star.
Jin Yongxiu had an arrogant look on his face. He was also wearing a second-grade purple official robe. He was walking forward with his hands behind his back, and naturally glanced at Lu Wei and Zhang Yuqing.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Jin Yongxiu narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly from his nostrils.
From the day when Lu Wei pointed a knife at him and was driven out of Liangzhou, Jin Yongxiu swore that he and Lu Wei would never live together. Now that he had wiped out the Jiangxia rebels, the emperor would definitely reward him again and give him a promotion.
When he gets promoted, he will have enough power and means to deal with Lu Wei!
Lu Wei looked at Jin Yongxiu with deep eyes, then separated, pulling Zhang Yuqing aside to let the group of people pass first.
The voices of the officials who were fawning around Jin Yongxiu were much lower. After all, they were all young and high-ranking second-rank officials. Although Jin Yongxiu was in the limelight now, offending Lu Wei was not a wise choice. p>
After the group of people left, Zhang Yuqing sneered, disdainful in his heart, Jin Yongxiu is just a villain who succeeds!
It was he who brought all the family members of the captured officials, regardless of whether they were involved in the Jiangxia King's rebellion, to the capital to claim credit. Emperor Anping himself probably had not thought of killing so many people. Since Jin Yongxiu had sent people here, it was natural for him to do so.
Kill them all to scare the monkeys.
Both the monarch and his subjects were equally despicable and cruel.
Lu Wei pulled Zhang Yuqing and continued to walk forward. The closer he got to the main hall of the palace banquet, the more luxurious the decorations were. There were all kinds of rare flowers and trees, unique rocks, flowing water, and an incense burner placed every few steps.
, burn the fine incense sticks, the fragrance is full, and with the sound of silk and bamboo music in the dark, it feels like a fairyland in Yaochi.
This is a luxurious scene that ordinary people outside can never imagine.
In order to demonstrate his literary and military skills and celebrate the hard-won victory, Emperor Anping used this banquet to put a dent in his face and wipe away years of bad luck. He was determined to organize a special event, completely ignoring the fact that he had just finished the civil war
Daxia is so weak and poor.
This person is completely indifferent to the life and death of others, and he is also willful, self-centered, and hedonistic.
His father, Emperor Taichang, was better than him. At least Emperor Taichang spent some time and energy on political affairs.
When the two entered the banquet hall, many officials and family members were already inside.
Zhang Yuqing immediately spotted Mrs. Zhang in the crowd, surrounded by all the female guests. Her laughter was still sharp and jubilant.
Can you be dissatisfied? Zhang Yuying gave birth to Emperor Anping's son, his only son, who will most likely inherit the throne in the future. Mrs. Zhang is the emperor's grandmother, and she is so dissatisfied that she wakes up laughing every night.
Zhang Yuqing glanced at the complacent Mrs. Zhang from a distance, and suddenly thought of the tragic scene where her biological mother An Ruxue was pushed out of the carriage more than ten years ago, her belly was trampled to death, and she fell in a pool of blood. For a moment,
Qi and blood surged up, and I took a few deep breaths to cover up my tumbling emotions.
Don't be in a hurry...
She said silently in her heart, take your time, go to poverty and fall to hell, none of these people can escape!
Mrs. Zhang also saw Zhang Yuqing walking side by side with Lu Wei.
The man is cold, steady, and unparalleledly handsome, while the woman is delicate and graceful, exuding a calm and heroic spirit.
Lu Wei is a second-rank official. He is in his twenties, which is a man's best years. His appearance is so powerful that no one can stop the attraction of such a man.
However, such a good husband was taken over by the unlucky Zhang Yuqing.
Mrs. Zhang felt very unhappy and looked at the jade-like pair standing together, which was very annoying.
Even if her daughter is the daughter of Feng Ming and Lu Wei cannot be her son-in-law, such a good man should still promise her nieces and nephews. Why did Zhang Yuqing get the advantage at that time?
Mrs. Zhang regrets it now when she thinks about it.
At that time, she just wanted to find a woman to replace her daughter in marrying Lu Wei, so that the royal family would look better and avoid being known as someone who raped the minister’s wife. It didn’t necessarily have to be Zhang Yuqing!
It was because they didn't have anything to do, so they suddenly lost their heads and pushed Zhang Yuqing out. If only they had had time to calm down and think about it, they pushed out the daughter of the Guo family and asked the late emperor to marry Lu Wei!<
/p>
Isn’t the current second-grade official’s wife a girl from her Guo family?
Zhang Yuqing had already noticed that Mrs. Zhang kept glancing towards her and didn't want to pay attention. However, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have no expression and exclaimed loudly and exaggeratedly: "Hey! Isn't this my niece Yuqing!" p>
The distinctive high-pitched voice echoed through the hall, and many people looked at them.
Lu Wei frowned, knowing that Zhang Yuqing and Mrs. Zhang's family were not going to deal with him, so he reached out to take Zhang Yuqing and walk him somewhere else, but Zhang Yuqing pushed him away, "It's okay, just meet her!"
Zhang Yuqing's dark eyes flashed with a cold light, and there was a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth. If she didn't go to trouble Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang would feel uncomfortable if she had to come and do it!

"You should go out first! Otherwise, she won't make a fuss and talk to you about something," Zhang Yuqing said.
She is a girl from the Zhang family, and the quarrel with her aunt is the Zhang family's own business. If Lu Wei was also present and saw his wife having a conflict with her aunt, there would be a lot of room for comment.
Lu Wei was afraid that Zhang Yuqing would suffer a loss and refused to lift his foot. Zhang Yuqing urged: "Quickly leave, come back later. When have I ever lost in a fight?"
Lu Wei lowered his head and laughed, turned around and left the hall. He stood under the eaves and outside the window with his hands behind his back, paying attention to the movements inside the hall.
"Now that I have become the wife of the second-grade ruler, my arrogance has become so big that I, the aunt, can't even scream!" Mrs. Zhang said loudly to the ladies around her, as if she was afraid that the people in the hall wouldn't hear.
, "But as an elder, I can't argue with her as a junior. She grew up in a farmer's family, and no one taught her the rules. It's also a dereliction of duty on the part of us elders..."
Zhang Yuqing strode over, her menacing and windy manner frightened Mrs. Zhang, and she swallowed her words abruptly.
"You..." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took a step back. She felt that Zhang Yuqing's angry eyes were coming to hit her.
Zhang Yuqing stopped three steps away from Mrs. Zhang, curved her lips and smiled, "Mrs. Zhang, we haven't seen each other in several years!"
"No! You child, how can you act like you haven't seen your elders when you see them? If word spreads, others will think that all the girls in the Zhang family are as unruly as you!" Mrs. Zhang snorted.
Zhang Yuqing's eyes shone with a faint light under her long eyelashes, and he looked at her with a smile, "Didn't I come here? In fact, I really miss Mrs. Zhang in my heart. Are you and my uncle still the same as before?"
"Of course." Mrs. Zhang said.
Zhang Yuqing sighed, with an anxious expression, "It's still the same? You are so old, and your uncle still beats you every day?!"
This shocking statement made all the ladies stunned. After coming back to their senses, they were so embarrassed that they wished they didn't have two ears to hear such a hot topic about the Queen's parents.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You stinky girl!" Mrs. Zhang was shocked and wanted to cover Zhang Yuqing's mouth.
Zhang Yuqing looked disappointed, "I care about you with good intentions, why are you scolding me?" She looked around and saw that all the ladies around her had their heads lowered and no one said anything. She asked in shock: "Don't you all know? It's my fault?
I just saw you talking and laughing with Mrs. Zhang, and I thought you knew her very well! It turns out it was just a friendship on the spot!"
"There is no such thing!" Mrs. Zhang blushed, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and hurriedly explained to the person next to her: "She is talking nonsense and spitting blood! There is no such thing at all!"
If word gets out, where will she put her face!
Besides, although Zhang Zuozhen had been quarreling with her all these years and had small quarrels every day, for the sake of his children, he basically never took action.
This time Zhang Yuqing exposed her family's scandal, which is really hateful! Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Why not! I saw it with my own eyes!" Zhang Yuqing shouted, "The same goes for the Queen. How could she let her own mother be beaten every day just to cover up her reputation? This is so unfilial! Mrs. Zhang, I know you are feeling bitter.
Why bother when you go out and smile with others every day? If you really can’t survive, don’t wrong yourself!”
Mrs. Zheng Guogong next to her stood aside and said with a look of gloating on her misfortune: "Oh my god, there is such a thing in Chengen's mansion..."
Who made the emperor favor and trust that evil man Jin Yongxiu now and alienate her son Jin Yongkang? It is said that the Zhang family even sent their daughter to Jin Yongxiu on a pole so that the evil man could look at her. She naturally disliked Mrs. Zhang.
If the daughter of the Zhang family hadn't been seriously ill, wouldn't Jin Yongxiu become the son-in-law of the Zhang family now?
The Zhang family is really greedy. It’s not enough to have Lu Wei as their son-in-law, but they also want Jin Yongxiu to be their son-in-law! Why don’t they go to heaven!
"There's no such thing!" Mrs. Zhang was furious and looked around. No one dared to look at her, which made her even more furious. She felt that these people were saying they didn't believe it, but they were actually gloating in their hearts.
Zhang Yuqing said in a good temper: "Oh, uncle won't beat you now? Then I, the niece, can rest assured!"
