After the ministers presented their birthday gifts, the banquet officially began.

Most of the things the ministers gave were strange things, not worth a lot of money, but they were better than curiosity. Those who have titles, such as several state dukes, and princes of the county, they give more precious gold and silver antiques. The higher the grade, the more precious the things they give, just like negotiated.

After all, gift-giving is also exquisite. Not only must the emperor see what he wants, but the regent cannot see how much money he has embezzled. It is really not an ordinary hardship.

...

Chi Zhao just took a look at the things sent by others and put them away by the eunuchs around him. Only Shen Wumian sent them. He stayed and played with them carefully.

The courtiers underneath each other, and from time to time someone stands up to offer a glass to the emperor, but everyone knows that the little emperor doesn’t know how to drink, so the people who toast are brave enough to do it, and the emperor just needs to raise the glass. The wine in the glass did not move at all.

People are easy to float when they drink, even if these people are the pillars of the country, they are not immune. Gradually, the originally reserved and reserved ministers became more and more happy, and their voices became louder.

This dynasty is similar to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although there are differences in respect and inferiority between people, they are not as rigid as the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are excited about drinking. Two military commanders threw their fists on the spot, and the people around saw it. He just smiled and did not stop.

The country is not peaceful, and if you don’t even have a good time drinking, then this day will not be possible.

It was almost time to watch, a crowd of cool dancers came here, everyone's eyes were attracted by these rare and stunning beauties, except for two people.

One is Chi Zhao, who focuses on playing with objects, and the other is Shen Wumian, who focuses on Chi Zhao.

The thing Shen Wumian gave was very common. It was a piece of jade pendant. The material of the jade pendant was good, but in the palace where even the toilet was made of fine red sandalwood, it was not a rare thing, and the carved shape on the jade pendant was also very strange. Patterns with birthday meaning.

The front of the jade pendant is carved with evergreen pine and a unicorn sleeping under a pine tree. The carving is very delicate, and even the lines on the horns of the unicorn are carved out. On the back of the jade pendant, there is a stroke with a little old writing.

Chi Zhao squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally thought, half guessing, that this should be a word for sleep.

To be honest, if you don’t know who gave this jade pendant, Chi Zhao might think that the word is pronounced "Xia", Xiabuxiabu means "Xia".

...

I heard that the Shen family, who was born as the regent, had a rule that on the day of the birth of the direct child, the most powerful craftsman in the world should carve a jade for the newborn. The jade was chosen long ago, and then waited for the birth of the child, decided on the name, approved the character, and then started work.

If there is no accident, the jade article should be kept for more than ten years. When the child grows up, the marriage begins, and then the jade article is taken out and given to the other party as a token.

The jade pendant that Chi Zhao held in his hand should be the jade pendant made for him by Shen Wumian's parents. He looked at it for a long time without expression, as if what he was holding was not a piece of jade pendant, but a piece of fat and thin pork.

Shen Wumian seemed to be indifferent, but in fact his eyes never left Chi Zhao. When he was a prince, he led troops into the enemy's hinterland several times, and he was not as nervous as he is now. The jade syrup in the cup looked like white water. After drinking one cup after another, he couldn't taste the goodness of the wine.

Actually, Shen Wumian’s move doesn’t have much meaning. His thoughts are still the same as before, to assist the little emperor, and strive to make him a bright emperor. As for the relationship between the two, whether it is further or maintained in the current state, he It doesn't matter.

He is not Shen Sixteen. He listens to what the little emperor says. He wants to be more long-term. After the emperor marries a man, it will inevitably become a stain on the emperor’s life. Maybe it will be because of this incident. All the accomplishments of this emperor's life were wiped out. After thousands of years, people can only remember that he married a man, but they can't remember what other great accomplishments he has done.

Shen Wumian didn't know exactly what Chen Yi cared about. He never cared about those fictitious names, going around, his mentality was back to the past. As long as Chen Yi wants to do, he will do it for him without complaint.

Of course, the condition is that he has to stay by his side and can't look at other people.

The food at the birthday banquet was carefully prepared by the Imperial Dining Room, but Chi Zhao hadn't moved a bite. He still looked at the jade pendant in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking. The system has disappeared again. It is said that the legendary preliminary game will be held soon. The preliminary game will be broadcast live on the whole network. The system has been under pressure recently, and a lot of redundant data garbage is generated every day. The world’s baldness.

...

It's normal to feel nervous before the game. Chi Zhao didn't comfort it, and he felt that the system would definitely pass the preliminary round.

After all, the time for the system to practice singing is really super super super long.

...

No matter if the system is not there, it is just convenient for Chi Zhao to think about something. He lowered his eyes and rubbed the lines on the jade with his thumb bit by bit. Suddenly, a drunken and loud voice sounded from the hall.

"Your Majesty, the first emperor had been married for a year when he was at your majesty's age. There are a dozen concubines in the palace including queens, noble concubines, concubines, virtuous concubines, and beauties. The old minister dare to ask whether your majesty should get married. , Opened branches and leaves for the royal family?"

The person who said this is the Rightist. Both Left Minister and Rightist are ministers of regency. However, compared to the absolute royalist Left Minister, the rightist’s style of painting is a bit strange, because no one can understand where he is. One faction.

To say that he supports the regent, but many times he antagonizes Shen Wumian, to say that he supports the little emperor, but he and Left Minister Wei are natural rivals, and there is no lack of insincerity between each other. Shen Wumian guessed that he might be secretly colluding with people from other forces, but after a long investigation, he didn't find any clues.

In the end, Shen Wumian could only come to one conclusion. This right-handed master Huang is just an old oily man. He blended in everywhere and didn't form an alliance anywhere, so he was so lonely and got to the right-hand position. .

Being able to stand alone in this situation for so many years shows that this person is not easy.

However, after he finishes saying this today, his life alone is about to end.

After everyone heard the words of Lord Huang, their first reaction was to look at the little emperor sitting on the top. Only Left Minister, he turned his head quickly, and took the lead to look at the regent who looked uncertain.

The Left Minister's mood is a bit complicated. In fact, he wanted to tell His Majesty a long time ago what the Right Secretary said, but after the incident of the palace invasion last year, most of his people were killed and injured, and now he has no strength to fight head-on with the Regent.

Moreover, he still remembers what the regent said to him in the palace that day.

The regent’s meaning is very clear, he does not want to be emperor, and he will never let others shake the status of the Chen dynasty, but this is all because he is pleased with your majesty. If your majesty is by his side and is good with him, he will Be willing to be his courtier, but if someone dared to take his majesty away from him, or his majesty wants to escape from him, then the first thing he has to do is to rise up and change the dynasty.

And the second thing is to make the current Majesty the queen.

Being liked by men like Shen Wumian is the luck of Chen Country and the misfortune of Chen Country. Now there are serious internal and external troubles. To be honest, if Chen Yi really wants to be in charge of Chen Yi's current level, he will definitely not be able to keep Chen Country. ; Shen Wumian is the only one who can maintain a delicate balance between the inside and the outside and deter other countries from attacking.

So after leaving the palace that day, Left Minister just thought for an hour and decided that nothing happened. As for the issue of royal heirs, he only went through his mind and didn't think about it. No matter how weak the royal family is, it will not even be impossible to find a child with royal blood, but there is only one capable person like Shen Wumian in the sky and the ground.

For these reasons, Left Minister thinks very transparently, but others don’t think so. In fact, some people have proposed to marry Chen Yi, but those voices have been suppressed by Shen Wumian before they were made. Today, the right phase suddenly proposed this. The incident was also caught off guard for Shen Wumian, because before today, the right phase had never seen any signs of wanting to blend this incident.

The main hall became quiet for a while, and even the two generals who were punching were silent. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the dancer slowly stopped his movements. Such a lively scene suddenly became silent. The situation is so strange. Most people's hearts are stunned.

The right side was still that cheerful, and Shen Wumian looked at him for a while, then turned his head to look at the young man at the top.

Today is a birthday banquet, so the boy wore a dark red dragon robe. The boy had fair skin, which was very suitable for this color. After raising for a whole year, various medicated diets continued to nourish, and this gave the boy a sharp chin. A bit of meat, at this moment he is supporting his head with one hand, and holding the jade pendant from him in the other.

With a "click", the jade pendant was placed on the tabletop. The sound of the collision between the jade and the white marble tabletop was very clear. Seeing the little emperor's movements, Shen Wumian's heart sank.

Now Chi Zhao is not so transparent in front of the ministers. Shen Wumian intentionally or unintentionally allowed him to participate in the decision-making of the court. After so long, everyone can see that the regent is delegating power, although he does not know why. Will do this, but everyone knows that the current emperor is no longer the puppet emperor in the past.

The emperor can make decisions, and the right minister just asked the emperor himself directly. Everyone looked at him nervously, not knowing how he would answer.

Shen Wumian not only rejected others from mentioning his own marriage, but also rejected others from mentioning the emperor's marriage. To be eligible to participate in the birthday banquet, you must be either the emperor's important minister or the emperor's relatives. In short, everyone is not an idiot. The messiest and dirtiest things since ancient times always come from the emperor's family. Simple things like this require a little thought. Almost clear.

This is why everyone is afraid to speak.

Everyone was looking at Chi Zhao, but Chi Zhao rolled his eyes and looked at Shen Wumian, who is closest to him.

Chi Zhao's eyes are pure and clean, but because they are too clean, they will be disgusting. When the water is clear, there are no fish. When the water is extremely clean, it means there is nothing, no love, no hatred, no country, and no court.

There is no such person as Shen Wumian.

Shen Wumian's pupils tightened slightly, and he straightened his body. It seemed that he wanted to stand up, but he cared about other people, so he still sat firmly in his original position.

Chi Zhao probably understood what he wanted to do. He probably wanted to rush over to ask himself why he didn't answer and why he hesitated, but even if he asked, Chi Zhao didn't know the answer.

He didn't understand why he hesitated. In fact, he originally wanted to agree.

Shen Wumian delegating power is an opportunity for him. He can slowly take power, just like the original owner of the previous life and Shen Wumian, competing for power, fighting for life and death, Shen Wumian likes him, and watched what happened in the previous life. He would definitely be uncomfortable if the incident happened again. By the way, Chi Zhao could also marry an ambitious woman, and cooperate with her to sleeplessly. Anyway, he has a potion for one night, so he is not afraid of being discovered.

But after seeing Shen Wumian's current appearance, he couldn't say anything again.

Shen Wumian stared at him, his eyes were cold and fierce, looking terrible, but in fact, he was very impressed. He was nervous and scared, but he didn't want to show his true emotions, and he didn't want to be sympathized by others. Taunt, so you can only disguise yourself with majestic anger. What others saw was the low-faced regent, while what Chi Zhao saw was helpless, as sleepless as a prisoner waiting for the sentence.

"This matter will be discussed later."

With half-closed eyelids, Chi Zhao replied with his usual volume. At this point, the rattling atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed, and the people underneath were relieved, and the atmosphere slowly became lively again.

The surroundings seem to have returned to the original appearance of the birthday banquet, but in fact no one has the intention of eating, drinking and chatting anymore. When everyone else was doing their best to perform, the right image ate happily. It seemed that he didn't even realize what he said.

In other words, he realized it, but he didn't care, or in other words, he had a goal he wanted to achieve. Whether it was the regent or the little emperor, he would not care.

Chi Zhao sighed, it was really difficult for him to survive among a group of dramatists.

...

I haven't been drinking for a long time. Chi Zhao really missed the smell of alcohol. After going to so many worlds and experiencing so many things, Chi Zhao always felt that this world is the most tiring one, and he should relax.

Picking up the wine glass, drank this small cup, Chi Zhao smacked his lips.

It's okay, it tastes good, and it doesn't feel good.

So, Chi Zhao calmly ordered the eunuch who was on the sidelines to pour himself another cup. The eunuch hesitated. He raised his head and looked at the regent first. After receiving the consent of the other party, he gave Chi Zhao another cup. .

Chi Zhao curled his lips where Shen Wumian couldn't see, and then drank the new glass.

After repeating three or four cups, the regent signaled that the eunuch should not fall anymore. Chi Zhao heard the eunuch persuade him not to drink anymore. There was no trouble, but he nodded obediently, "I see."

Hearing that the little emperor was so well-behaved, the eunuch couldn't help showing a smile. Their majesty was really cute. He never made trouble, and never embarrassed them. It can be said that they are very well-behaved.

The next second, the well-behaved little emperor in his heart suddenly stretched out his hand and poured himself a glass of wine. Before he could stop, he saw him holding a fruit plate in the distance and picked up a piece of Nanguo from inside. The cherries offered, then raised his hand high, and when he couldn't raise it any higher, he began to adjust the angle.

Tilted his head and looked at it, he was sure that he had aimed at the wine glass below. Chi Zhao let go of his hands high in the sky, with a vivid sound effect in his mouth, "Piu!——"

Watching the cherries fall into the wine glass, a splash of water splashed, Chi Zhao picked up the wine glass and turned to look at the circled eunuch seriously, "Do you know what it is called?"

Eunuch: "...the old slave doesn't know."

Chi Zhao looked at him disgustedly, "I don't know this, this is called Lady in Pink."

Eunuch: "..."

What? ?
