“Watch the fireworks at Tailin Lake tonight, watch the night view, and have a tea party!”
A piece of news quickly spread throughout Tailin City. This news was personally delivered by Bai Yutian and was unheard of before.
Tailin Lake is the largest lake in Tailin City. It was originally controlled by the Gu family. Now that the Gu family has collapsed, Tailin Lake has become a public place where anyone can play.
The scenery on Tailin Lake is no less than that of Ming Lake in Qizhou City, and it is even larger.
Moreover, Bai Yutian also imitated the poetry competition in Qizhou City and planned to hold a gathering of scholars in Tailin City tonight, where they would compete for poems, appreciate lyrics, watch the moon and invite flowers.
People don’t know what fireworks are, but since it’s a lively event, they must join in the fun.
And the emperor will also participate. Being able to meet the emperor once is already worth a visit.
When Bai Yutian returned to the palace, he saw another scene.
Under the leadership of Yun Qing, a group of concubines surrounded Bai Yutian and blocked Bai Yutian aside, refusing to let go.
According to regulations, Bai Yutian was supposed to have dinner with them yesterday, but Bai Yutian was still on the road yesterday, so naturally he couldn't have dinner with them.
For many concubines, this was the only day they could see Bai Yutian, so they refused to miss this opportunity, but they failed to keep the promise.
Today, Bai Yutian finally came back.
Bai Yutian looked at this scene dumbfounded. He had never been surrounded by so many women before.
It has to be said that Bai Yutian's predecessor had indeed very good taste, and the concubines he selected were all top-notch in terms of figure and appearance.
"Your Majesty, you always like to take risks. Fortunately, I heard you were rushing back yesterday. Otherwise, our sisters would have been very worried." Yun Qing stood at the front and said softly, her tone full of concern.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, you don't know how worried we are about you!"
All the concubines immediately joined in and seemed very harmonious, and they were not so hostile to each other.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant, so why not come to my palace for the next few days?"
"Go, go, go. If your majesty comes, he also comes to me. I have been waiting for your majesty for a year."
"Okay, okay, your majesty has been traveling a lot and is tired now. My sisters have seen enough. Let your majesty rest first."
In the end, it was Yun Qing who spoke and helped Bai Yutian escape from the clutches of the devil.
Yun Qing's words were quite majestic and had the power of a mother ceremonially consecrating the world.
Although the concubines were reluctant, they still followed Yun Qing's arrangement and let Bai Yutian go to Tai Chi Hall to rest first.
Bai Yutian was a little surprised. It seemed that Yun Qing managed the harem very well, nothing too extreme happened, and he had absolute majesty.
There is no doubt about Yun Qing's quality. She is dedicated to the country and the people, and she has enough ability to pacify the harem. She is truly a rare virtuous wife.
It seems that making Yun Qing the queen was indeed a correct decision.
Bai Yutian came to Tai Chi Hall. Yun Qing originally wanted to serve Bai Yutian, but Bai Yutian stopped him, "You are pregnant now, so don't do these things. You can raise your baby with peace of mind."
Hearing Bai Yutian's words, Yun Qing felt relieved, making her feel that Bai Yutian really liked her and would never neglect her.
"By the way, why haven't you seen Yan Yumeng? Where has she gone?"
Bai Yutian recalled that almost all the concubines were there just now, but Yan Yumeng was not seen.
"Hey, Your Majesty is here with me, but his heart has gone to Concubine Yan." Yun Qing said with jealousy.
Bai Yutian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly comforted Yun Qing, "No matter what happens, you will always be the most important woman in my heart."
"Your Majesty, Yan Yumeng is also pregnant."
"Yeah!" Bai Yutian was a little surprised that even Yan Yumeng was pregnant.
Yun Qing snickered, knowing that Bai Yutian would be surprised when he heard the news.
Bai Yutian loved her and Yan Yumeng the most in the palace. Now that both of them are pregnant, Bai Yutian may not be very happy.
"Haha, it's good to be pregnant. I'll have someone send some supplements to Yumeng later. And Qing'er, please don't work too hard these days and rest assured to raise the baby."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yun Qing stuck out his tongue at Bai Yutian, looking extremely cute.
Bai Yutian nodded, and then explained the purpose of his visit to Yun Qing, and asked her to go to Tailin City to attend a tea tasting party in the evening.
The Tea Tasting Party is just like the Poetry Competition in Qizhou City, and is specially created for scholars.
After Bai Yutian came back from Qizhou City, he already had plans for a tea tasting party and had asked the Ministry of Rites to plan some things.
Now as long as the order is issued, they can be ready within a day.
The academy has been in operation for some time. Under Zhu Ke's leadership, the academy is prosperous and has already sent several talents to the imperial court.
In addition to Yun Qing, Bai Yutian also specially invited Yan Yumeng to go with him.
Yan Yumeng's character has always been quiet and indifferent, neither fighting nor grabbing, and having no desires.
Although he was favored by Bai Yutian, he never asked for anything.
Even the pregnancy was told to Bai Yutian through Yun Qing in a low-key manner without publicity.
Perhaps due to the approaching New Year, Dashun and Dachuan also suspended all war operations.
This is a grand festival for all Zhou people.
Except for Yunqing Yan Yumeng, all the ministers and officials in the imperial court were invited by Bai Yutian. This was another grand event in Tailin City.
It was evening, but Tailin City was brightly lit.
As the most prosperous city in the Zhou Dynasty, Tailin City can be said to be a city that never sleeps. Even in the middle of the night, some places are still brightly lit, and many pedestrians can be seen on the streets.
Some places in Tailin City also operate non-stop for twelve hours.
In the evening, more than half of the people in Tailin City gathered in Tailin Lake, and Bai Yutian also mobilized the city guard battalion to maintain order.
"His Majesty."
Zhu Ke came to Bai Yutian and saluted Bai Yutian.
Yun Qing and Yan Yumeng sat next to Bai Yutian, one on the left and the other on the right, enjoying the scenery together with Bai Yutian.
During his time as the dean of the academy, Zhu Ke made some changes and became more calm.
Today, the academy has a total of 832 students and 20 teachers, and its scale is gradually expanding.
Under Zhu Ke's management, the academy placed the highest priority on moral conduct. Those with bad conduct would not be admitted to the academy, no matter how knowledgeable or famous they were.
Soon, Shen Yusheng and Shen Yumiao also arrived at Tailin Lake and were allowed to sit next to Bai Yutian.
Finally, the tea tasting party began, and Bai Yutian personally made the opening remarks for the tea tasting party and prayed for Da Zhou.
Originally, the first tea tasting party required a lot of red tape, but at Bai Yutian's request, everything was kept simple and many steps were omitted.
