Heavy snow fell from the sky, covering the entire imperial city.
Auspicious snow heralds a good year.
There is a lively scene everywhere in the imperial city, whether it is the mansions of officials, the courtyards of merchants, or the homes of ordinary people, they are all decorated with lights and colors to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
The wanderers outside have also come back and reunited with their families. People in the world have also put aside all their grievances and will not talk about politics during the New Year.
Tonight, people will have a reunion dinner at their homes, and the family will celebrate the New Year happily.
The imperial court would hold an annual meeting.
The annual meeting will be held from noon until it disperses in the evening. The court will not delay the wonderful time for everyone to reunite with their families.
Most officials have also returned to their hometowns, and the annual meeting is mainly for members of the royal family and dignitaries of the imperial city.
However, some of the civil and military officials cannot go home yet. For example, many officials from the Ministry of Rites, eunuchs and maids need to be busy with matters related to the New Year. There are also generals guarding the imperial city. They have to protect the imperial city and the palace, so naturally they cannot
go back.
After breakfast, Fang Chen put on the official uniform of a royal guard commander. Ye Xue'e helped Fang Chen tidy up his appearance, making him look majestic.
"Husband, you are very handsome today. Your Majesty will reward hundreds of officials today. Husband will definitely get many rewards. I will wait for you to come back for the reunion dinner tonight."
Looking at the sensible woman in front of him, Fang Chen felt a little sad in his heart.
Ye Xue'e's belly has gradually grown, and she has not been given a status yet.
Previously, Luo Ningxin wanted to hold a wedding for Fang Chen and Ye Xue'e today, but it happened to be a double happiness with the joy of the New Year.
However, Fang Chen and Luo Ning broke up and the wedding was cancelled. Ye Xue'e still lived a hidden life and could not appear in public.
At today's annual meeting, many people can bring their families, but Fang Chen cannot bring Ye Xue'e.
Fang Chen held Ye Xue'e in his arms and whispered softly in her ear: "Wife, don't worry, I will slowly give you a reasonable identity after the new year, and then I can take you out openly."
Ye Xue'e was happy in her heart. She knew that Fang Chen would definitely find a way. As her belly grew, the two of them would get married as soon as possible.
"Husband, I will obey your arrangements in everything."
After everything was ready, Fang Chen took two followers and drove a luxurious carriage to the palace.
Halfway there, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
"Junior brother!"
Fang Chen hurriedly opened the curtains on the carriage, stuck his head out and looked behind him, and saw a heroic beauty in white riding a white horse running towards this side.
Fang Chen immediately stopped the carriage and got out of the car.
The person who came was none other than Bai Ling'er. She got off her white horse and joined Fang Chen.
"Sister, you are finally back!"
"I promised to attend the annual meeting of the DPRK and Central Government today. Fortunately, I made it in time. If it had been any later, I would have missed you."
Recently, Fang Chen missed Bai Ling'er very much, and he was very happy to see his senior sister back.
Fang Chen asked Bai Ling'er's fast horse to be taken back by an attendant, and then he and Bai Ling'er got into the carriage.
The carriage drove slowly towards the palace.
Bai Ling'er was not an official, so she followed Fang Chen into the palace wearing white clothes without any problems.
Bai Ling'er was already handsome, and she instantly became a sight in the palace.
Along the way, Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er talked about recent events.
Bai Ling'er has successfully obtained all the medicinal materials for the Black Jade Discontinuous Pill.
When she learned that so many things had happened recently, she was very surprised.
"Although the Divine Doctor Sect is powerful, it has always been under the control of the Blue Sword Sect. This time, it suddenly found reasons and excuses to destroy Yaowang Valley. Someone must have been behind it. It seems that this matter is most likely related to the Fire Cloud Sect.
related."
Bai Ling'er was analyzing it carefully.
The Divine Doctor Sect and the Medicine King Valley have been fighting for so many years, fighting openly and secretly, but they have never thought of completely destroying each other.
This time, taking advantage of the matter of General Jinlong's father and the bet between the two parties, he was framed and framed to destroy Yaowang Valley. He was suddenly so eager for quick success and instant gain, and it must have something to do with the Huoyun Sect.
Fang Chen nodded. He had also considered this, because Black Phoenix had mentioned before that this matter might be related to the Fire Cloud Sect.
However, Long Qianqiu did not tell Fang Chen these things before he died.
"Sister, don't worry, as long as I catch the Huoyun Sect, I will definitely make them pay the price."
Finally, the two of them talked about Lu Caihuang again, which bothered Fang Chen the most.
Bai Linger did not expect that Fang Chen, His Majesty, and Lu Caihuang would develop into this situation.
"There is nothing wrong with a man being responsible for his woman. There is nothing wrong with your Majesty being responsible for the court and the people of the world. As a court official, you must be loyal and responsible and loyal to the court. This is what you should do."
"If you want to take your woman out of the sea of misery and fly far away, that's what you should do."
"So no one is wrong in this matter. What is wrong is that everyone has different positions, different responsibilities, different feelings, and different things they want to pursue."
"but……"
Speaking of this, Bai Ling'er's face suddenly became very solemn:
"If the relationship between the three of you continues like this, the relationship between you and His Majesty will eventually break down and reach an irreversible point. What I can be sure of is that His Majesty will never let you go."
When Fang Chen heard Bai Ling'er's last words, his heart suddenly sank.
Or the authorities are confused, but bystanders know clearly.
Fang Chen always believed that based on his relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty would be soft-hearted and let him go at the final moment, but Bai Ling'er clearly told Fang Chen that this was absolutely impossible.
"You are too important to His Majesty, to the court, to the country and the country, and to the common people."
"The entire Great Yan Dynasty cannot live without you, and His Majesty cannot live without you. If you want to leave, how can His Majesty let you go?"
"More importantly, you have to go to Dakang, a country that is hostile to Dayan. If you work for Dakang, what's the point?"
"Even if you don't want to work for Dakang, when Lu Caihuang and the child in her belly force you to work for Dakang, what will you choose?"
"No matter from which aspect, your Majesty will not let you go. Moreover, the three dynasties are now in a state of hostility, and your Majesty will launch a war against Dakang and Dagan. At this critical moment, your Majesty will not let you go.
"
Fang Chen's face became darker and darker.
Of course there were things he wanted to achieve, but Fang Chen always believed that His Majesty would not be so heartless.
But for the sake of the overall situation, what will Your Majesty do?
Fang Chen no longer had the energy to think anymore.
Now I can only attend the annual meeting first, and then have a good talk with His Majesty about this matter in two days.
The annual meeting is held in the Main Hall. The entire hall is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There are rows of banquets on both sides, arranged in order according to the official position and status. There are corresponding signs on each table, representing each official and dignitary.
