The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Before the wedding, Jiang Lingyue's status as queen had to be prefixed with "future", which was not yet legitimate.

It is not appropriate to live in the same hall together, let alone to have a banquet with the emperor and his ministers.

But the so-called rules are originally made by those in power.

Tai Chi Hall.

All the ministers have arrived and it is very lively inside.

The eunuch outside the palace shouted loudly, "The emperor has arrived," breaking the noise inside.

The ministers and ladies all knelt to welcome him.

Jiang Lingyue was wearing a moon-blue long dress, and her long hair was not all tied up, still dressed as an unmarried girl. She was led into the hall by the emperor, and step by step, she sat down on the main seat side by side with him.

After the people around him sat down, Qi Junyi lowered his eyes to look at the people below and said, "Stand up."

He raised his wine glass again, said a few words of encouragement to his ministers, and said with a smile: "Today is a festive occasion, my dear ministers, please drink to your heart's content. There is no need to be restrained. I will not blame you."

The smile between his eyebrows was clear at a glance.

The ministers who had just stood up were all stunned.

All those who could attend the palace banquet were important officials in the court. Everyone knew that their new emperor was a calm and seldom-smiling person when he was in the East Palace.

It is true that he is lenient to his subordinates, and it is also true that he is awe-inspiring without being angry.

At this moment, seeing the undisguised smile on his handsome face, he was obviously in a very good mood. Even the old ministers who always followed the rules did not dare to cause trouble for him.

They also turned a blind eye to the fact that Jiang Lingyue, an unmarried woman, attended the palace banquet as the queen.

That's it, that's it.

At least the daughter of the Jiang family didn't wear a phoenix robe, and she still knew the etiquette.

After all, it was obvious that she would be the most favored queen of the generation. No matter how old-fashioned they were, there was no need for them to offend the future queen over such trivial matters.

Thus, the palace banquet started off very smoothly.

Jiang Lingyue sat at the top, her posture relaxed and natural, her expression calm. She did not have the nervousness of a teenage girl who had ascended to a high position for the first time and faced these powerful ministers.

She recalled her past life.

At this time in her previous life, she was still quarreling with that man.

She was stubborn and refused to give him a good look.

After getting drunk, he accidentally said the wrong thing, which made that jealous person furious and he was jealous for half a year.

It was a huge misunderstanding. She felt a headache at the time, but now that time has passed, when she thinks back on it, she only feels sweetness.

All the twists and turns and misunderstandings are testaments to their feelings.

It is also a sweet memory of their journey.

Jiang Lingyue held the wine glass and drank three cups of osmanthus wine alone.

During the fourth cup, Qi Junyi held her wrist.

He said with a look of disapproval: "Don't overdo it."

Jiang Lingyue tilted her head and smiled at him: "What if I insist on overdosing?"

Qi Junyi: "..."

A few days ago, Xie Mo came back, bringing with him the miracle doctor and the necessary medicinal herbs.

The antidote for the intoxicating effects of the gods has not yet been developed, so it doesn't matter if she drinks.

Even if it's an overdose, it doesn't matter.

He shouldn't have kept her under control all the time.

Thinking of this, Qi Junyi slowly loosened his grip.

Jiang Lingyue's smile became even more intense.

Perhaps because her experiences in those ten years were different, she discovered that the man in front of her was actually better-tempered than the emperor in her previous life.

Don't be so strict with her.

He knew how to give her some breathing space.

He really did remember everything she said.

She once asked him to be nicer to her in the next life and not to always be so condescending and indifferent.

You must protect her wholeheartedly, never let her suffer any injustice, and never be jealous of her.

She told him that she also cared about those women and wanted him to confess his harem to her as soon as possible.

Don't be mean to her at any time.

No matter when~!

He did it all.

Even when he was furious and gnashing his teeth, thinking she was a liar, he couldn't bear to be mean to her.

The jealous person in the previous life was different.

Jiang Lingyue sighed softly and drank another glass of wine.

She was drinking alone.

Qi Junyi noticed that he was still thinking about the person when seeing the object.

He lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. After coming to his senses, he started drinking with his ministers.

I never refuse any toast.

The atmosphere during the banquet was lively and lively.

Soon, some ladies also came to toast Jiang Lingyue.

Many of them were familiar faces from the previous life, which made Jiang Lingyue feel even more real about her rebirth.

Unlike the previous life, the Jiang family was present today.

Moreover, the seat he sat in was very close to the front.

This palace banquet was not organized by the three concubines, but by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

It is perfectly normal for the Jiang family to attend.

Jiang Shao was being flattered by several colleagues around him. All the frustration he had felt over the years had disappeared, and his face was full of complacency.

Obviously, with a queen in the family, she would immediately become the emperor's legitimate father-in-law, and the status of the Jiang family would rise rapidly. As a result, the three of them, father and son, also became very popular in the circle of aristocratic families.

Seeing Jiang Lingyue looking at him, Jiang Shao's face showed a kind look, as if he had completely forgotten the discord between father and daughter. If someone didn't know, they would think that they had a deep affection for each other.

Jiang Lingyue felt a wave of discomfort and immediately turned her eyes away.

His eyes fell on Shen.

Her stepmother.

In her first life, the emperor had already dealt with the person in a place unknown to her.

In her second life, she knew about it, but the emperor was too murderous, so the first thing he did after his rebirth was to detoxify her and deal with Shen again.

This is the third life.

She was still poisoned.

The Shen family is really looking for death.

As a result, the Shen family is also doomed to commit suicide.

And the Jiang family...

No one would want his family to decline three times in a row.

The same goes for Jiang Lingyue.

If they don't commit suicide in this life.

She could spare their lives.

While I was lost in thought, a clear voice came from below.

"Sister-in-law, Huayang offers you a toast!"

Princess Huayang stood up, holding up her wine glass, with a smile on her face, which was the unique beauty of a young girl.

In her previous life, Huayang was not only one of the most outstanding female officials in the inner court, but also an old minister assisting the empress.

She devoted her entire life to improving the status of women, and traveled all over the Han Dynasty with her husband, but they only had one daughter.

The last time we met, he looked very old.

A lifelong bond between aunt and sister-in-law.

At this moment, seeing the young and lovely little princess again, Jiang Lingyue felt warm in her heart and even a little tearful.

Raise the glass and drink it all.

Qi Junyi tilted his head and saw that the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and he felt a little sad.

There was a lifetime between them.

That life was perfect, and she no longer had any resentment towards him.

But, is this really a good thing?

Rather than fighting with another non-existent self day after day, he would rather face her who is full of misunderstandings and resentments.

Misunderstandings can be resolved.

Resentment can be healed.

How can you compete with a self that doesn't exist?

He doesn't even know how to win.

Jiang Lingyue didn't know that the emperor next to her was silently jealous again.

After several rounds of toasts, her slightly dazed mind finally came to her mind.

Look down.
