Will succeed

Li Jue's complexion has not changed. He will always look like that in front of the enemy: "Oh, I am also very sad about my beloved wife. I didn't want to accept the concubine again, but my father insisted on doing this, so I can't disobey him." .It’s just that King Qi wants to show some morals, the princess is already like that, so it’s better not to mention this matter again.”

However, Li Jue's words made Li Qi think that he had hit his pain, so how could he restrain himself?

"The affection between the prince and the concubine is enviable to anyone who sees it. However, in today's situation, I'm afraid the prince won't marry someone else!"

Before Li Jue could say anything, Li Xi spoke first. He looked at Xia Houyu and others who were sitting and watching the show, and he wanted to kill Li Qi: "King Qi, this matter There is no conclusion yet, and no one knows what will happen in the end, it is better to pay attention to the remarks."

Having said that, Li Qi didn't seem to understand the warning in Li Xi's words, but felt that Li Xi defended Li Jue everywhere.Such thoughts made him doubt again whether Li Xi really wanted to seize the throne.

If it was true, then what he did made him puzzled. If not, why didn't he give himself the opportunity?

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and just as he was about to say something, someone said outside: "The emperor is here! The empress is here!" Hearing this, Li Qi had to swallow the words he was about to say, and waited for the emperor's arrival.

I thought that no courtiers would come to today's mid-term banquet. After all, it has been so long, and there are still women and young ladies in the family.But who knows, not only the queen followed the emperor, but also Mu Xi and the prime minister.

Of course, when Mu Xi came, Mrs. Mu would definitely be there.Forget it, even Mu Qi followed, and everyone didn't understand why.

But when they saw An Keyi's slightly bulging belly, everyone seemed to understand something, and their gazes on Mu Qi were also full of understanding.

Seeing Mrs. Mu, Fu Li tightly clenched his fists. If it wasn't for the mask, her expression would have been leaked.At this moment, Fu Li understood Li Jue's intentions. He should have known that Mrs. Mu would come, so he specially prepared a mask for her just in case.

Thinking of this, Fu Li's excited mood calmed down a lot.But he still uncontrollably looked at the woman who had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of sadness.

The gray hair, the unbelievable pace, all beat Fu Li's heart.

Or sensing something, Mrs. Mu cast her eyes on Fu Li, seeing a masked man looking at her, feeling puzzled.But what is more, is an indescribable and unexplainable sense of familiarity.

Involuntarily, Mrs. Mu looked at Fu Li a few more times, and Fu Li was so frightened that he quickly turned his head, not daring to look at her again.

Seeing this, in order not to attract attention, Madam Mu had no choice but to look away, but she had already remembered Fu Li in her heart.

Everyone took their seats, and the officials and family members below all stood up and said respectfully: "My ministers (ministers, ministers, daughters) have seen the emperor, and the empress! Long live the emperor! Long live, long live, long live, long live! "

The emperor laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood: "Everyone, get up! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no need to be formal, just treat it as your own home!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone sat down again.And He Bin, who was sitting under the queen's head, flashed a trace of resentment on her face. Not long ago, she was respectfully held up like this.But now, these people didn't even mention her name!

Thinking that she could come to this kind of scene casually in the past, but now she has to beg the emperor to rely on the old feelings in the emperor's heart to come, how can she not complain?

However, when he saw Li Xi, more than half of this feeling disappeared unconsciously.

The emperor looked at the people present, and paused when he saw Xia Houyu and the others, and then said, "Isn't it the first time Prince Xiahou has celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in a foreign country?"

Xia Houyu was not surprised when he was named, and still put a wicked smile on his face: "Thanks to His Majesty's hospitality, Xia Houyu has the chance to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival feast in the Later Tang Dynasty. This is Xia Houyu's blessing!"

"Haha, Prince Xiahou is really good at talking and joking. I am afraid that the feast of Great Xia will not have much to do with the Later Tang Dynasty. Today, Prince Xiahou will spend such a reunion festival in my Later Tang Dynasty. Will the Lord Great Xia complain about me?"

Xiahou Yuquan couldn't hear the emperor's words, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are too worried. My sister has married Prince Shu of the Later Tang Dynasty, so the Later Tang Dynasty can be regarded as my family. This banquet, why is it not a family banquet?"

When talking about the word "family banquet", Xia Houyu emphasized his tone.How could the emperor fail to realize that Xia Houyu was mocking him?Since it was the day of reunion, he also called the family members of the adults into the palace, wouldn't it ruin the good time of family reunion?

Even so, the emperor did not change his face: "What Prince Xiahou said is true, from now on, the Later Tang Dynasty will be the home of the Xiahou royal family."

Now the emperor didn't just refer to Xiahouyu and Xiahouyue, he directly brought the Xiahou royal family with him.Doesn't the implication mean that he regards the entire Great Xia Palace as his own?

Xia Houyu just smiled and said nothing, the emperor seemed to have punched the cotton with a fist, and he was powerless.

Immediately, the emperor shifted his gaze from Xia Houyu to Mu Xi and the prime minister: "Hehe, I recently heard about a happy event. Taking advantage of today's beautiful scenery, I want to have fun with you all!"

With that said, the emperor called out Mu Qi and An Keyi alone.When An Keyi wanted to kneel down and salute, the emperor stopped her: "Hey, there is no need to be too polite."

An Keyi is not hypocritical, since the emperor has said it, why should she be hypocritical?

Seeing that the emperor called the two of them out alone, and none of the people present were stupid, they naturally knew what the emperor wanted to say.But the emperor didn't speak, so they could only pretend to be puzzled, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Mu Qi made a bow, and respectfully said to the emperor: "I don't know if the emperor and his ministers called out, what's the matter?"

The emperor laughed, and the joy on his face did not seem to be fake: "Mu Aiqing, I would like to congratulate you on becoming a father! This is the only sequential connection between the Mu residence and the prime minister's residence! I believe that with this child, the Tai Tuo and the prime minister will have a good relationship." We will definitely be able to work together to push my Houtang into a prosperous age!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.Although there are many concubines on the field, being an official wife is somewhat sensitive to politics. The emperor's words mean a lot!

As soon as the emperor's words fell, the queen took off a fine jade bracelet in her hand at the right time, and waved to An Keyi: "Son, come up."

Such a gentle smile made An Keyi stunned.Since she married into the Mu Mansion, she hadn't seen her mother for a long time except when she returned home.

Today's banquet, seeing the prime minister's wife came, An Keyi even looked at her twice more.And the queen's smile at this moment, like a mother's, gave her a warm feeling.

While in a daze, Mu Qi quietly tugged on An Keyi's sleeve, and then she came to her senses and walked towards the queen.

The queen took An Keyi's hand kindly, put the bracelet on her hand, and patted it lightly: "Good boy, you will be a mother in a blink of an eye. From now on, you must take good care of your husband and raise your children, so that the Mu family The relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion should be closer."

Hearing this, An Keyi's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, and then disappeared.Because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient to salute, so she leaned down slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I will definitely live up to your expectations."

The queen nodded with a smile, no one could see the indifference behind her smile, even though An Keyi was so close to her, she couldn't see anything.

Looking at this scene, everyone has different thoughts.

Li Xi raised a smile and said innocently: "This is really a happy event, I feel that today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be much more festive!"

There was a flash of light in the emperor's eyes, but he smiled and said nothing.Li Xi was bored, so he stopped talking.On the other hand, Li Qi was so happy to see Li Xi deflated.

But because he was still on Li Xi's side, he had to hold back his complacency in his heart.

"I've also said the happy event, Mu Aiqing, let's help Madam to sit down, don't let Madam get angry!" As soon as the words fell, Mu Qi frowned, but because the man was the emperor, he couldn't help it. Dare to speak out the displeasure in his heart, so he could only silently help An Keyi to the seat and sit down.

The prime minister took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, today's Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to make a marriage. It just so happens that so many wives have brought their own ladies here today, how about..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.The emperor had already mentioned this matter in advance, and everyone came here after making preparations. For the position of Li Jue's concubine, as long as they were not loyal to Li Xi, they all had such a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

After all, Li Jue is the eldest son and the crown prince, so the possibility of ascending to the throne of God is much higher than that of Li Xi.And once one of their daughters becomes the crown princess, they will receive innumerable benefits when Li Jue ascends the throne in the future.

With such great benefits waiting for them, who would let them go?

Listening to the prime minister's words, the queen's expression remained unchanged, but there was more disgust in her eyes that no one could see.And Concubine He wanted to wring all the veils to pieces. So many concubines brought their own ladies here. Doesn't it mean that there are not many people who support Li Xi from the bottom of their hearts?Although Li Xi is engaged to Princess Daxia, Xia Houyue is always the princess of the enemy country, how can she compare with the important officials of her own court?

Thinking of this, He Bin's teeth were about to be gritted.

Suddenly, she smiled. Seeing this, Li Xi seemed to realize something, but it was already too late.

Concubine He Shi Shiran got up from her seat and stood in front of the emperor, without saluting, but looked at the emperor delicately, her eyes seemed to be dripping water.

"Your Majesty, there are so many rich ladies here today, and the concubines look at all of them looking beautiful!"
