031 The Heart of the Nine-fold Emperor and Empress (1)

The third prince's first-year banquet was held with great grandeur due to the favor of the current Holy Master Mu Zinan. The Nine-layer Palace was filled with splendor, and countless glazed golden lamps were hung all over the eaves of the corridor, reflecting the brilliance in the sky.

The steps of the corridor were filled with light, and the brilliance of the full moon interspersed with the scattered palace lanterns. Ye Jiaoxi followed Mu Ziling step by step into the pinnacle of power. The palace shrouded in the night was familiar to her, but walking in like this was also unfamiliar to her.

For those who were not familiar with it, she only knew the freedom of jumping on the red tiles of the roof, and the grandeur of the entire Kyoto city from the top of the Taichen Palace. However, in this complex palace, she did not know, nor did she want to know.

However, she never thought that the gears of fate had slowly entered the other party's predetermined fate, and that the free world was getting farther and farther away from her. There are some things that even if you don't want to know, you have to know.

The night banquet started in half an hour. Most of the princes and officials had arrived, and the palace was noisy. Ye Jiaoxi looked around the magnificent palace and said: "This full moon banquet is really luxurious. Alas, the Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly, and there are freezing bones on the road."

Mu Ziling snorted coldly, didn't pay much attention, and just started chatting with his colleagues. Ye Jiaoxi glanced at him and smiled nonchalantly. He had always had this attitude after a quarrel with him over Liu Wuqing.

, I haven’t come to see her again in the evenings in recent days. I don’t know which concubine she is resting in. Ye Jiaoxi doesn’t care, and she is not surprised by this kind of indifference. Ye Jiaoxi wanders around boringly, and occasionally there are a few

A female family member would come to chat with her, but seeing that her interest was waning, she would consciously walk away.

When wandering around the crowd, it is inevitable that you will hear some gossip.

"I heard that the Queen Mother came back from Lingshan Temple. She didn't even come back when the Seventh Prince got married. Now that the Third Prince is one year old, he has rushed back. The Queen Mother still doesn't like the Seventh Prince."

"Please keep your voice down, how dare you say such things? The Seventh Prince is here!"

"It's so far away that he can't hear you."

"Will he have fewer eyes and ears in the court?"

Ye Jiaoxi glanced at the two people lightly, smiled casually, and walked slowly past. She had also heard a lot about the Queen Mother's deeds. She was an excellent strategist and helped the late Emperor to conquer a huge empire. When the late Emperor died of illness, the Crown Prince

Because of his mistake, he was placed under house arrest in the East Palace. Many people in the court supported Mu Ziling, and Mu Ziling also held heavy troops stationed at the border, ready to make a move. The Queen Mother single-handedly stabilized the situation in the court, helped the prince ascend to the throne, and summoned Mu Zi

Ling returned to Beijing and reduced his military power. However, when Mu Ziling returned to Beijing and Mu Zinan had murderous intentions, she protected Mu Ziling with one hand.

Ye Jiaoxi thought that the Queen Mother should not care about whom she favored, she just wanted to stabilize the country and the family.

After that, Ye Jiaoxi heard something that interested her.

"I heard that the Han Governor's Mansion at Yumen Pass presented a cold jade ice toad to the imperial concubine to replenish her body. Do you think the gift from you and me is a little too shabby?"

"What can we do? You and I can't get the Cold Jade Ice Toad."

"Alas, a soldier leader is thinking about how to flatter. The world is really declining. I don't think this was the case when the Seventh Prince led the troops."

Ye Jiaoxi was not interested in the next words, but the Cold Jade Ice Toad really tempted her. Although the Thousand-faced Thief has a nice name, he is still a thief in the final analysis. It is inevitable for a thief to be tempted when he hears the baby's name, let alone a rare one.

See the treasure. Ye Jiaoxi raised her red lips and her eyes flashed slightly. The second senior brother has been looking for this cold jade ice toad for a long time. If he gets it, he will definitely be able to show it off.
