After being reborn, I spoiled the villain King Zhenbei

Chapter 1709
Soon it will be the day of the palace banquet at the end of the year.

Naturally, this day was full of excitement, but all the officials above the third rank had received the post, and they could relax their families and children into the palace to have a banquet together.

Murong Mansion, Li Guogong Mansion, and General Wei's Mansion also came to attend the banquet.

The liveliness in the palace is naturally unusual.

Ji Chengxuan and Murong Yu came to the main hall together from behind, and they also accepted the visit of the officials and their families.

"Today is the New Year's Banquet in the palace, lovers don't need to be too rigid about etiquette, just have fun." Ji Chengxuan said with a smile.

Murong Yu also opened her mouth and said with a smile to the officials, "Everyone have a good meal and enjoy the singing and dancing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress." The courtiers and family members stood up one after another to salute, and then took their seats.

The palace banquet was very smooth, and it could be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, and most importantly, it was peaceful.

Unlike the palace banquets of the previous dynasty, some things were always thrown out to spoil the fun.

It was the most chaotic period during the reign of Emperor Chu. Either this official was taken to sleep by the Emperor Chu during the palace banquet, or the lady of this family and the son of that family were found out by the opportunity, or the concubine in the palace had an affair with the guards and was discovered while stealing the palace banquet...

There are always some scandals at every banquet, and the officials have long been accustomed to it. It would be a surprise if there were no incidents at any of the palace banquets in the previous dynasty.

But this year's palace banquet was really quiet, and it also made the family members of the officials very clearly feel the surprise before and after.

This new dynasty is no longer the old dynasty.

Not to mention the courtiers, even the royal family members of the former royal family, such as Cheng Wang's mansion and Rong Wang's mansion who entered the palace to participate in the banquet, didn't they also secretly feel that the general situation is over?

The only thing they are worried about is whether Ji Chengxuan will attack them after he has completely secured the throne.

But it's no use worrying now. This is a state where people are using their swords and me as fish and meat. Instead of worrying so much, it's better to live a good life.

The others left, but Mrs. Li stayed overnight.

Going back to Fengqi Palace with Murong Yu, he said: "This looks like what a palace banquet should have. It's not like the previous dynasty. It's just a mess. Officials bring their wives and daughters to the palace to participate in the banquet, and they have to worry about whether their wives and daughters will be murdered!"

Murong Yu smiled, "Is the palace banquet tonight going well?"

"Okay." Li Shi nodded, "There's nothing to be picky about."

Ji Chengxuan also came over after a while, naturally to greet Mrs Li, Mrs Li went back to rest after exchanging greetings with her son-in-law.

But it's not just resting, but also inquiring about the affairs of the palace with the maid who served her, not about any secrets, but about asking if there are any concubines who are particularly favored.

But the result is that there is no. Although the emperor will go to the harem to rest in other palaces, it is true, but the time spent by the emperor in the harem and the concubines is not as much as Fengqi Palace.

Only then was Li Shi relieved and satisfied.

I went back early the next morning, because I didn't have anything to do when I stayed, and since it was Chinese New Year, there were a lot of things to do at home, so just rest for one night.

This year's Chinese New Year is indeed very busy, because the identity is different from previous years, there are too many guests waiting to entertain, and I can't take time off.

Murong Yu was also busy, but because she had handed over the palace affairs to Concubine Wang Xian and Ji Huaiheng, she was much freer.

However, there was also a lot of trouble in the Sun Palace this day, that is, the gambling incident.

The palace people used the time of night to secretly gather to gamble. They didn't know it at first, but because two eunuchs suspected that the eunuch who was sitting in the manor had tampered with it, they won all their money.

They were so willing to cut themselves to pieces, they forced the eunuch sitting in the village to be dismounted, and set fire to burn the eunuch to death!

As a result, the incident of water leakage in the palace caused a commotion in the palace, and then the gambling gathering was uncovered.

And the eunuch who sits in the manor is served by Concubine Xian's palace, and is the second in command of the eunuchs in Concubine Xian's palace!

Concubine Wang Xian was about to die of anger, she didn't know it, but she didn't know that the palace servants under her dared to use her name to gamble openly!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know. This old slave serves you wholeheartedly. It's that bastard Li Er who dared to do such a thing. It's really infuriating. Now that he's been arrested, he deserves it!" The chief eunuch knelt in front of Concubine Wang Xian and kowtowed.

Concubine Wang Xian scolded: "It's better to be like what you said, otherwise I won't be able to keep you!"

Without much delay, she got up and came to Fengqi Palace to plead guilty.

But it was not only her who came to plead guilty, but also Yao Concubine and Shan Concubine, because the other two eunuchs who set fire to burn people were the young eunuchs serving in their two palaces!
During the New Year's Eve, there was a disturbance in the palace, and it was caused by the palace slaves and eunuchs gathering together to gamble, so Murong Yu's expression was naturally not good-looking.

"I asked you to restrain your own palace people long ago, and you also made a guarantee in front of me. Is this the result of your restraining your palace people?" Murong Yu said coldly.

The three people kneeling on the ground pleading guilty are really speechless.

Concubine Yao and Concubine Shan both resented Concubine Wang Xian, thinking that it was her insatiable greed that caused the eunuchs under her command to open a village to win other people's money, and to make people do such stupid and brainless things in order to lose both sides.

And Concubine Wang Xian hated these two people very much, she felt that the two of them encouraged the eunuchs to do it, otherwise how could the little eunuch do such a thing as arson in the palace?

This will implicate the Nine Clans!
Concubine Wang Xian of course wanted to argue for herself, both concubines Shan and Concubine Yao did the same, both of them said they didn't know about it, it was the work of those lowly palace people.

"Okay, I don't want to hear your excuses for your inability to restrain the palace people, so go back and reflect on yourself, Concubine Xian, don't mind your business these days, Concubine Li will take over!" Murong Yu said directly with a cold face.

Concubine Wang Xian's heartbeat slowed down a few beats, but she dared to say nothing, she could only choke up and retreat.

After leaving Fengqi Palace, Concubine Wang Xian heard someone from the palace come to tell her that the two little eunuchs were provoked by others, so they set fire on impulse!

But in the current situation, whoever benefits is the one who provokes!
Concubine Wang Xian turned around without hesitation and slapped Concubine Yao and Concubine Shan severely, "You are really good at it, how dare you join forces with Concubine Li to plot against me?"

Neither Concubine Yao nor Concubine Shan thought that she would be so angry now that she dared to beat them!
But they really didn't dare to fight back, and knelt down covering their faces, "Concubine Xian, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we didn't cooperate with Concubine Li as the lady said!"

"Do you still dare to say?" Concubine Wang Xian said coldly: "I tell you, don't think that you have won if you do this. If you have me for a day, you don't want to replace me. How many years have I been with the empress? You can't compare!" After speaking, she walked away.

And Concubine Yao and Concubine Shan also just got up, and came towards Concubine Li at the same time, wanting to settle accounts with Concubine Li!
