Su Jingyan opened the envelope and saw the beautiful handwriting inside. She closed the letter and smiled and said: "Welcome the Spring Festival, Ali is going back to Chang'an."

Yingchun stepped forward to see, "Miss Cheng is finally back."

Su Jingyan has not seen Cheng Li for four years. Cheng Li, Su Jingyan, Liang Suirou, and Princess Qianya grew up together. Qianya later married to Huizhou, and Cheng Li married the top scholar of the year and followed her husband to Lingnan.

Cheng Li accidentally discovered pepper trees in Lingnan, so Su Jingyan and Cheng Li started a partnership in the pepper business. Su Jingyan was able to spend such a large amount of money over the years thanks to Cheng Li.

Su Jingyan was extremely happy that Cheng Li could come back.

Xiao Yi came back to Haitang Palace and saw Su Jingyan so happy, so he asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "Ali is coming back."

Xiao Yi didn't know who A Li was, so he asked: "Who is A Li?"

Su Jing said: "The granddaughter of Master Cheng's family married the number one scholar Gu Nan a few years ago. She went to Lingnan with Gu Zhuangyuan. She was the one who discovered the pepper in Lingnan and did business with me. She is also my best friend.

one."

Seeing how happy Su Jingyan was, Xiao Yi asked, "Have you not seen her for a long time?"

Su Jingyan nodded and said: "It has been four years. She went to Lingnan not long after she got married that year. It is the happiest thing for me to have her come back this time. She also has a daughter who is more than two years old, just like Lin'er.

age."

Su Jingyan touched her belly. Fortunately, she would be a mother soon, and she would be able to let the baby in her belly play with A Li's daughter.

Xiao Yi said: "Generally, the number one scholar only serves for three years abroad. Why did it take Gu Nan four years to return to Luoyang?"

Su Jing said: "After Gu Nan took office in Lingnan, he managed Lingnan in an orderly manner. He was supposed to come back last year, but Wanmin asked him to stay in Lingnan for another year.

Gu Nan's father is Gu Daru from Luoyang College. He is coming back at this time, presumably for the spring of next year. After all, Luoyang College has not topped the list of high school students for two consecutive years."

Xiao Yi said: "Aren't the scholars that Xiao Ting tried so hard to recruit all Gu Daru's students?"

Su Jingyan nodded and said: "Yes, those students are those students that A Li specially asked Gu Daru to let them join Xiao Ting. After all, these students are a big expense to maintain, but they can save Luoyang College a lot of money."

Woolen cloth."

Xiao Yi: "...no wonder the eldest brother said there is no need to worry about this matter."

Su Jingyan smiled and said: "The position of right prime minister is vacant now. You meet Gu Nan first. If you think Gu Nan is suitable, I want him to be right prime minister. In this way, A Li can always be in Luoyang and he doesn't have to follow his husband.

Already."

Xiao Yi said: "The person Ayan thinks is suitable will definitely be suitable."

Su Jingyan looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Your birthday is coming soon. What gifts do you want me to give you?"

Xiao Yi said: "There is no need for gifts, but after my birthday, you are not allowed to say that I am a child anymore!"

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "I'll never say it again."

On New Year's Eve, the New Year's spirit was getting stronger, and before the Wanshou Banquet, officials from all over the country presented birthday gifts to Xiao Yi.

On the day of the Longevity Festival, all the officials in Luoyang also presented all kinds of novel and precious birthday gifts.

At the palace banquet at noon, Xiao Ting gave Xiao Yi a sword inlaid with rubies.

Giving a sword on a birthday is not considered auspicious. Su Jingyan frowned when she saw the birthday gift.

Xiao Yi pressed Su Jingyan's hand beside him and smiled at her to show that he didn't care about the sword.

Liang Suisui, who was beside Xiao Ting, was wearing a bright red dress with a flat collar and her shoulders were barely exposed. Su Jingyan shivered when she saw it. After all, Liang Suisui was young and not afraid of the cold.

Liang Suisui looked straight at Xiao Yi and said: "Your Majesty, in order to wish you the seventeenth birthday, I am willing to perform a dance for your Majesty."

Xiao Ting felt extremely embarrassed when he heard Liang Suisui's voice.

Xiao Yi, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Su Jingyan with a confused look on his face.

Su Jingyan looked confused when she saw Liang Suisui dancing gracefully on the stage.

Two months ago, Liang Suisui was afraid that she would snatch Xiao Ting away. Liang Suirou couldn't persuade Liang Suisui to marry Xiao Ting. What does it mean that Liang Suisui came to dance at the birthday banquet now?

After Liang Suisui danced, all the courtiers applauded one after another. After all, in the cold winter months, everyone was wearing several thick clothes and wanted to be wrapped in a big cloak. Even the dancers in the palace were wearing wide-sleeved coats.

Liang Suisui is the only one who can dance gracefully in a plain collar on New Year's Eve.

After Liang Suisui stopped dancing, he blinked at Xiao Yi, who was looking up from him, and gasped: "I am not talented enough, so I have made a fool of myself."

Su Jingyan may now be convinced of Liang Suisui's feelings, so she said coldly: "Since you know it's an act of embarrassment, why do you still come to show off your ugliness? Uncle Emperor, please take good care of your concubine, and don't go out and embarrass yourself!"

"

Xiao Ting frowned and responded, pulling Liang Suisui back to the seat in the Regent's Mansion and glaring at Liang Suisui angrily.

Liang Suisui stared back at Xiao Ting with a calm face. Xiao Ting was unkind and don't blame her for being unjust. Why did she marry Xiao Ting, who was ten years older than her? It was because she wanted him to be the powerful regent.

If he succeeds in his rebellion, he might become a concubine in the future. Will he be the one to compete with Su Jingyan and Liang Suirou?

But now Xiao Ting can't bring all this to herself. Even buying fashionable fabrics on weekdays will be criticized by Xiao Ting. She is also the concubine of the regent, but Xiao Ting is so stingy.

I originally thought that Xiao Ting was extremely handsome, but after a closer comparison with His Majesty, I found that he was not much better.

Xiao Ting didn't even dare to plot rebellion, and his army in the Western Expedition was snatched away by his brother-in-law. Can he still achieve something big by searching for land?

Also, in the past half month, Xiao Ting has been unable to do anything when he entered his room. No matter what, he could not make Xiao Ting look like a man.

Why do you want to be Xiao Ting's concubine?

It would be better to go and seek refuge with His Majesty. Your Majesty originally intended to make me your concubine. Maybe this dance will remind His Majesty of her good fortune?

If it weren't for the palace banquet, Xiao Ting would have wanted to strangle Liang Suisui to death. How could she dare to cuckold herself in public?

Liang Suisui looked at He Zhimin, whom she had always disliked, and now she felt more pleasing to the eye. He Zhimin had better taste!

I didn't see it clearly until now.

He Zhimin looked at Liang Suisui and sat farther away from Liang Suisui. She was so frightened that Liang Suisui made random remarks and Xiao Ting suspected her.

Xiao Ting had been annoyed because of his lack of power in the past few days, and when he saw Su Jingyan's sarcastic smile above him, he became even more angry. His eyes when he looked at Liang Suisui were filled with murderous intent.

Su Jingyan was already pregnant, so she did not accompany the ministers to the banquet. After all, she would have to pay homage to her ancestors tomorrow morning on New Year's Eve and keep vigil at night, so she went back to rest first.

Xiao Yi followed Su Jingyan back to Haitang Palace, where the palace people were holding lamps in front of them.

On a path, I saw Liang Suisui coming by himself with a lantern. Liang Suisui saluted Xiao Yi and said, "I have met your majesty. I beg your majesty to save me. As long as your majesty is willing to save me."

, I and the Yongping Marquis Mansion will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty."
