"This year, Prince Jing also got an extra set of round silver armor."The maid reported.

"Since His Majesty has rewarded Prince Jing, I cannot be left behind. You should find my Danyang Butterfly Hairpin and give it to Concubine Jing when you have time."The Queen ordered.

"yes!"......

Zhaoren Palace.

Concubine Yue is dressing up with the help of a group of palace maids.

"Your Majesty is the most beautiful in the harem. Your demeanor is truly extraordinary." A palace maid praised

"The Queen can't come to the annual banquet tonight, Madam, would you like to wear the Five Phoenix Hairpin instead?"Another maid suggested.

""Why are you causing trouble at this time?"

Imperial Concubine Yue scolded.

Imperial Concubine Yue could outshine all the beauties in the harem, and her son could suppress the queen even though he was 35 years old. It was not just her charming face and enchanting figure that she relied on.

More importantly, it was her self-knowledge and the wisdom to see through the situation.

Imperial Concubine Yue knew when to compete for favor and when to keep a low profile, what to do to help the prince and what to do to harm him.

Competing for favor on New Year's Eve, overstepping one's authority, wouldn't that make His Majesty unhappy!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The maid begged for mercy.

"The queen is naturally beautiful. Even if she comes to see you without makeup, His Majesty will not see anyone else in his eyes."

"Besides, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, why should we rush?"

"From now on, you can’t wear the phoenix hairpins on your head."

On the other side, the palace maid said as she sorted out Concubine Yue’s clothes.

"You are sensible, so let's go."

Looking at the charming face in the bronze mirror, Concubine Yue smiled..........

Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

Xie Yu's family and Zhuo Dingfeng's family gathered together.

All the children greeted each other and received gifts.

For a moment, the whole house was filled with joy..........

Yan Hou Mansion.

Compared with other mansions, Yan Hou Mansion is a calm place in Jinling.

Ancestral Hall.

Yan Hou led Yan Yujin in.

Yan Yujin kowtowed and stood up.

Yan Hou looked at the tablets of his ancestors with mixed feelings in his heart:"Ancestors, my Yan family has a long tradition of learning. We have produced three generations of imperial tutors, two empresses, and two prime ministers. We have also worked hard for state affairs. ~ .~ "

"Yujin, do you think our Yan family can be regarded as loyal and good ministers?"

Yan Yujin nodded decisively:"Of course we can be regarded as such."

Lord Yan sighed:"But how could these generations of loyal and passionate people come to this point today?"

If Mei Changsu had not come to stop and persuade him, I am afraid he would have killed Emperor Liang and been imprisoned by the Xuanjing Division.

""Father, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Yujin said worriedly.

"Well, today's ceremony is over, let's go." Lord Yan walked out.

""Father, are you going back to your room to continue your cultivation or to the alchemy room to look at the alchemy furnace?" Yan Yujin asked.

The two of them came to the door and looked at the colorful fireworks in the sky outside. They were speechless for a moment.

"Today is New Year's Eve, go prepare some wine and food, and we will stay up together as father and son." Lord Yan looked at Yan Yujin and said

""Okay, I'll get ready now."

Yan Yujin was overjoyed when he heard this and ran out happily.

Looking at his son's back, Yan Hou showed a guilty look..........

Su's house.

Except for the expert guards who were still guarding the mansion, everyone else, including the cooks, gathered together.

"Happy New Year."

Xiao Feiliu kowtowed three times.

Mei Changsu smiled and said,"Okay, take it. Be good this year."

Then he took a red cloth bag from the tray and handed it over.

Inside, there was lucky money.

There were many red cloth bags on the tray. Mei Changsu prepared lucky money for everyone in the mansion.

""Yes!"

Fei Liu took the lucky money and nodded happily.

Although he didn't like money, he liked lucky money!.........

The imperial palace.

In the Xian'an Hall where the annual banquet was held.

There was singing and dancing in the hall at this time.

A group of palace maids stood in the middle and danced to the music.

Emperor Liang and Concubine Yue sat high on the dragon throne.

Below.

On the left were the concubines in the harem.

On the right were the princes.

Xiao Jingli was first on the right, the crown prince was second, Prince Yu was third, and as for Prince Jing, there was the last one behind.

Below that were the royal relatives.

Some were princes, some were dukes, and some did not have a throne.

While the others watched the dance, Xiao Jingli was a little tired of it and started to eat happily.

In his previous life, his favorite thing to watch at the Spring Festival Gala was skits, followed by songs. Dances were all things he had time to take out his phone to send group blessings.

"Hahahahahaha, good, good."

Emperor Liang laughed heartily at Concubine Yue's sweet words and the dance she performed.

"Your Majesty, it is almost midnight." Eunuch Gao reminded, holding a red gift list.

"Oh, yes, come, distribute the New Year dishes to each mansion according to the list I set before the New Year.

Emperor Liang glanced at the red gift list and ordered

""Okay."

Eunuch Gao replied with a smile.

"Wait, that, that, oh, pigeon eggs, give it to Mu Qing."Emperor Liang added

"¨‖ ¨‖ Your Majesty, the Yunnan Palace was originally on the list of dishes to be given."Eunuch Gao reminded

"I know that this year, the Yunnan Palace has a special bonus"

"Give me one more dish."

Emperor Liang said

""I obey your order!"

Gao Zhan came outside with the imperial edict and a group of eunuchs carrying food boxes.

At this moment, Meng Zhi and many imperial guards outside had been waiting for a long time.

""Greetings, Commander." Gao Zhan saluted and said

""Eunuch." Meng Zhi returned the gift.

"Oh, Commander Meng always stays in the palace on New Year's Eve every year. It's really hard work." Gao Zhan smiled and said

"It is my duty, so why talk about hard work?"Meng Zhi said indifferently.

"Haha, this year His Majesty has given a total of thirteen dishes, which will be sent to the residences of twelve important officials."

"Thank you all for escorting me, brothers of the Imperial Guards.

Gao Zhan said loudly while looking at the Imperial Guards below.

"Thirteen?"

"Twelve mansions?"

Meng Zhi said he was a little confused.

"Your Majesty has specially ordered that the Yunnan Palace grant two dishes this year. Gao Zhan explained.

"I see"

(Zhao Ma Hao (Zhao Ma Hao))

""It's almost time, eunuch, please!"

Meng Zhi said, looking at the night sky.

Twelve eunuchs carried food boxes, and each entered a team of imperial guards.

Then, the twelve teams rode on horses with torches in their hands and headed towards different mansions.

Outside the palace wall.

One team had just left the palace and was attacked in a remote place.

Two imperial guards were killed by a sword.

The remaining imperial guards dismounted and rushed over with swords.

"Kill!!!"

A dozen imperial guards charged forward, their momentum was overwhelming.

The black-clothed masked man on the opposite side was not affected at all, and threw out his long sword.

The sword flew out like a dragon, spun around and returned to the black-clothed masked man's hand.

Looking at the dozen imperial guards again, they all fell to the ground, holding their necks.

"Ah!"

The eunuch was startled and quickly dropped the food box and ran away.

The masked man in black used his Qinggong to strike with a sword, and the head fell to the ground.

Seeing that there was no survivor, the black-faced man in black used his Qinggong to fly away.
