Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 167 Braised Chicken with Abalone
With a heavy snowfall, New Year's Eve came quietly.

Weiyang Palace.

Jiang Qingying stood at the entrance of the main hall, staring at the heavy snow outside, in a daze.

After this year, I will be 19 years old.

A 19-year-old emperor who doesn't know when he will be in charge.

Shangguan suddenly appeared behind her.

"Your Majesty, Liang Guo has sent over a dozen large wooden barrels of wine from the Western Regions and a dozen women from the Western Regions."

Ah!
Jiang Qingying let out a cold snort, and exhaled a puff of white air.

"Xiao Liangzuo is really capable, I occupied so many cities from him back then.

Unexpectedly, the current territory of Liang State is larger than before. "

On the side, Shangguan analyzed aloud.

"Although Liang Guo conquered various tribes in the Western Regions to the west, there were already many disputes among these tribes.

Xiao Liangzuo's control over the Western Regions may not be as strong as it appears on the surface. "

"Has there been any changes in Beiqi recently?"

"Not currently, but according to the news from the spies, the new emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty has always been very concerned about military affairs."

"Yelucan's situation is very similar to mine, but he has done better than me."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanran immediately said respectfully.

"Your Majesty's implementation of the New Deal will benefit the people, which is far behind Yelucan."

Regarding Shangguan's upright compliment, Jiang Qingying continued to speak as if she didn't hear it.

"As soon as he ascended the throne, he executed Yelu Yizheng, this kind of courage is beyond me.

After assuming the throne, he did not immediately suppress his former political opponents, letting Xiao Tali and Xiao Zongren continue to fight.

This art of imperial check and balance is beyond my reach. "

Shangguan lowered his head in awe, not daring to answer this question.

She also knew in her heart that the situations of Yelucan and His Majesty were indeed very similar.

It was also a rivalry between brothers, but after the Second Prince ascended the throne, he showed no mercy towards the First Prince.

Although the eldest prince died suddenly, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just Yelucan trying to silence the world and avoid being charged with murdering his brother.

Correspondingly, the empress let King Qin go to the fief at the beginning.

Of course, this mistake has now been corrected.

As for the art of check and balance, the onlookers can tell, she can tell that His Majesty is not good at the emperor's mind.

Moreover, the empress was much younger than Yelucan when she came to the throne, and she trusted Li Yunsheng so much.

Therefore, it led to the current situation in Dachu.

Jiang Qingying shook her head lightly, suppressing her depressed mood again.

"How is Jiang Ying?"

"Ever since I was frightened in Li's residence, the imperial doctor has been to see her several times, but she hasn't recovered yet."

Jiang Qingying fell silent, and King Qin was frightened mad.

She didn't know whether this result was good or bad for her.

"Is there really a ghost in Li Yunsheng's mansion?"

"This minister doesn't know, but it is said that Princess Obscure Moon has also seen a female ghost."

Hearing the name Obscure Moon, Jiang Qingying frowned unconsciously.

"There is a ghost, she still lives there?"

"Yes, I heard that I often go to Li's residence as a guest."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingying didn't want to hear it anymore.

At the end of the year, there was no good news for her.

"Where is the wine sent by Liang Guo, I want to drink it."

Shangguan solemnly bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, I'll go get it later."

After a while.

In the queen's hand was an extra jade cup, which was filled with red liquid.

She looked at the wine from the Western Regions with a strange color, and sniffed it close to the tip of her nose.

Although it has a wine aroma, it is like a fruity taste.

Jiang Qingying raised the cup to her lips, and took a sip.

The sweetness and bitterness of the entrance instantly made her frown.

Just when she was about to hand back the wine in her hand, the wine glass stopped in mid-air.

After a slight sourness, there is a mellow wine aroma with a long aftertaste.

"This wine is not bad."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but took another sip.

"Give Li Yunsheng two barrels of this wine."

Just when Shangguan was ready to respond, the empress changed her words again.

"Forget it, you go to the Li Mansion to deliver the decree, saying that Liang Guo paid tribute to the fine wine from the Western Regions, let him enter the palace to drink with me on New Year's Eve."

"Yes."

Shangguan Xuanran was used to this.

The empress has summoned Li Yunsheng to accompany her in the palace on New Year's Eve for two consecutive years, but this year they will have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

After all, King Qin is in the capital this year, and the empress can be counted as having a family member to accompany her during the New Year.

But looking at the current situation of King Qin, there is no way to enter the palace.

Just when Shangguan turned around in annoyance, Jiang Qingying gave another warning.

"In the evening, ask the imperial dining room to make another stewed chicken with abalone. He loves this dish."

"Minister, write it down."

"Also, shredded sweet potatoes are also his favorite."

"Yes."

Just as Shangguan Xuanran was standing there waiting for the Empress to add more food, Jiang Qingying waved her hand.

"Go."

After Shangguan left angrily, Jiang Qingying shook the wine glass in her hand and murmured.

"This wine doesn't seem to get drunk easily."

……

Li House.

Under the corridor, Li Yunsheng leaned on the pillar and looked at Wei Xiang and Xiaoyu in the courtyard.

Two people were busy making a big snowball in the yard, and it was oversized.

Fortunately, the yard is big enough, otherwise there would not be so much snow for two people to pile it up.

"How big are you two going to snowball?"

Little taro pushes forward together with Wei Xiang with all his breastfeeding strength.

"We're going to make a big snowman!"

The snow didn't stop. From Li Yunsheng's point of view, there were already two snowmen in the yard.

Just after the snowman rolled, Princess Obscure Moon walked into the yard with a food box.

Seeing that Li Yunsheng was also there, Obscure Moon first saluted from a distance, and then went straight to Xiaoyutou.

"Little taro."

"Sister Hazy Moon."

Little Taro said hello, but didn't listen to the movements of his hands.

Ozuki raised the food box in her hand.

"I brought Zhang Ji's pastries that you love."

"Okay, I'll finish building this snowman with my big sister first."

However, the gluttonous Wei Xiang stared at the food box.

"Push after eating."

One big and one small, quickly reach an agreement.

Little Taro rubbed his hands on his clothes, and then opened the food box in Ozuki's hand.

Cong Zai took out a piece of pastry, raised his hand and handed it to Li Yunsheng.

"Young master, this is your favorite jujube cake."

After Li Yunsheng took it, the three of them turned around and left together, going to Xiaoyutou's house.

During this period, Ozuki just greeted him and didn't say a word.

The three of them became so acquainted, Li Yunsheng was unexpected at first.

Back then, Jiang Ying moved out of Li's mansion the next day after being scared by Little Taro, and she was so frightened that she went crazy.

Of course, he knew it was pretending to be crazy.

But after Obscure Moon was frightened once, she didn't have the slightest intention of moving.

The next day, when Wei Xiang and Xiao Yutou went again, Miyue didn't even close the door, so she obediently lay on the bed and waited for the two of them.

Li Yunsheng was puzzled by this.

After several times, even though Wei Xiang and Xiao Yutou were wearing masks all the time, Ozuki still guessed it.

So, on the fourth day, Obscure Moon approached the door directly, begging Little Taro to let her enter the illusion.

He had personally seen Obscure Moon enter the illusion state, and he was indeed feeling fearful, but he also had emotions of excitement and satisfaction.

Although he didn't know why, Li Yunsheng knew that Ozuki had become addicted to this kind of fear.

And Ozuki knew that she was not pleasing to him, so she changed her previous style, and every time she came, she just wanted to curry favor with Xiaoyu and Wei Xiang.

Although his plan to drive Ozuki back to Liang State failed, his goal was achieved.

Through his innate skills, he could see that Ozuki had no other intentions, so he allowed the three of them to get closer.

The three of them had just left when Liu Quan led Shangguan Xuanran into the yard.

"Master Xiang, the servant of the Shangguan is here to deliver the decree."

Li Yunsheng looked at Shangguan in a state of dismay. In the past, he was passed on to the palace after the New Year's Eve dinner. Why is it so early this year.

"Li Xiang."

Shangguan Xuanran greeted first, then straightened up and spoke.

"Liang Guo paid tribute to fine wine from the Western Regions. Your Majesty invited Prime Minister Li to enter the palace to drink together on New Year's Eve."

Li Yunsheng: Are you going to have a New Year's Eve dinner together this year?
