The palace banquet starts directly after the morning court, so the palace has been busy since last night.

Jin Zanli also asked a few questions before going to court.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been prepared for the palace banquet. The Queen got up early in the morning and went through it one by one."

Jin Zanli stretched out his arms and let the palace servants serve him.

"That's good. The palace hasn't organized such a big banquet for a long time. Thank you for your hard work, Queen. After the palace banquet today, I will rest in the Queen's Palace and talk to the Queen."

"Your Majesty feels sorry for your Majesty. Your Majesty would be very happy if she knew about it." Hu Ye quickly followed with a smile.

"No news from Marquis Jin Yu?"

Not everyone can participate in the palace banquet. You have to be invited to enter the palace. Jin Yuhou ordered it personally.

But Jin Yuhou has not replied to the letter until now, fearing that he will not participate.

Seeing Hu Ye's twitchy look, Jin Zanli already knew what he was doing.

"She's quite courageous. That's all. It's okay not to come. To avoid trouble, those few people shouldn't come either."

Hu Ye immediately understood who those people Jin Zanli was talking about and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Marquis Dongli and the Fifth Young Master are all here, and they all bring their families."

"Oh? When did you reply to the letter? I didn't know?" The unhappiness was clearly written on his face.

These few people have been accustomed to being absent no matter what the occasion for the past three years. Now that they suddenly said they were coming, could Jin Juetian not be surprised?

"Back to the Emperor, this is a letter that came late at night last night. The Emperor had already gone to bed at that time. I thought I would tell the Emperor this morning."

Jin Zanli smiled coldly, "Late at night? What do they mean?"

Hu didn't know how to reply.

This was obviously intentional. In fact, he didn't quite understand why these two people would do this. They came as soon as they came. It has been three years since the founding of Dahaodu. No matter how unwilling they are, no matter how many dissatisfaction they have, the world will not be able to calm down.

It won't cause any trouble.

Or just not show up as before, and since you are coming, just do it openly.

"Come on, come on, let the Queen worry about the seating and other matters."

"yes."

"It's almost time, it's time to go to court."

Everyone in the palace knelt down to see the emperor off to court.

The court bell rang, and the courtiers entered the Jinluan Hall in an orderly manner. The top three in the Spring Examination were waiting outside the hall. Today they were going to face the Holy Spirit. Li Shunshui was fine, but the other two looked very nervous and didn't know how to place their hands.

Because meeting the Holy Spirit today may very well determine their starting point for entering the court.

Everything in the palace was very busy today.

The concubines also got up early, paid their respects to the Queen Mother, and then went back to the palace to tidy up. They didn’t want anyone else to steal the limelight of the palace banquet today.

"Master, the clothes for today's palace banquet are ready. You can choose one."

Recently, the emperor has hardly come to the harem. It is really difficult to see the emperor.

Today's palace banquet is a great opportunity, and Xiaoyu is working hard to help her master organize it.

Li Yaoxin, however, had no interest in it. She just glanced at it and chose the most comfortable one.

"Master, isn't this a little too dull?"

Although it looks good, on today's occasion, something more colorful is more eye-catching.

"That's it. Today is definitely going to be a show-off. It would be better if it were a bit lighter. It's been a while since the morning, right?"

"It's been almost an hour. I heard that the top three in the Spring Examination will go to the Holy See in the morning today. The morning session may be longer. Madam, my servant will dress you up. It will be about the same time."

After the court is over, you should go directly to the palace banquet.

Xiaoyu stepped forward to help Li Yaoxin dress up. Li Yaoxin sat in front of the mirror and let Xiaoyu clean up.

"Master, this time Mr. Shui strives for his best and gets the top score in the examination. I heard that the emperor and Prince Tian praised him for his good writing and great talent. He has brought glory to our Li family. The seventh son is also on the imperial list.

, The Li Mansion must have been lively yesterday. Mr. Shui entered the court. The Li family has one more person in the court. The master also has an extra helping hand. It is also a good thing for the master. These people in the palace are the most able to steer the ship. Master

Did you notice that when I went to pay my respects this morning, the attitude of those individuals towards the master was obviously better than the previous few days?"

It was natural for Xiaoyu to think so. The Li family had suffered a lot, but now it was barely getting better.

Li Yaoxin sneered at the mirror, Xiaoyu was too naive.

"The patriarch is a member of the second family. Although Li Shunshui is recorded in the name of the eldest family, he is actually a member of the second family. Can he turn to my father? Don't expect it. What's more, he is still an adopted son. People's hearts are unpredictable. The patriarch holds such high regard.

When the time comes, don’t draw water with a bamboo basket but it will be in vain. You are not really a Li family, so can you serve the Li family wholeheartedly?"

Li Yaoxin didn't take it seriously at all, but she could see it clearly.

Since returning from the Li family, she knew that she could not count on the Li family in the future.

Unless she can become the master of the harem and become a country, then the Li family will have to rely on her. At that time, she was the one who ordered the Li family to move. As for the love, it has long since ceased to exist.

"Master, he seems to have some talent. If he wants to rise to the top, why can't he rely on the support of the Li family? If he is smart, he should not have second thoughts. Besides, he is a lonely man, how can he still do it?

Who are you counting on? Master, if he is smart, he might be able to see clearly who he should turn to for a future in the Li family? Master, how about taking advantage of this palace banquet to call Mr. Shui to talk?"

There shouldn't be any problem with this, there's nothing wrong with a few words from my cousins.

Li Yaoxin actually listened to Xiaoyu's words.

He lowered his eyebrows and thought carefully for a moment, "If you say so, it doesn't hurt to meet him. It would be best if he is someone who understands current affairs."

One more person in the DPRK means more power.

This Li Shunshui was praised by the Emperor and Prince Tian. He must have real talent and learning. Now is the time for the court to employ people, and there are many opportunities. Maybe he will have a great future in the future. You have nothing to lose by showing your kindness now.

After all, she is considered a member of the Li family and a member of their eldest family. If she doesn’t use it, is she trying to take advantage of others?

"That's it. Don't worry, Master. I will take care of the arrangements later."

"Well, by the way, he hasn't been engaged yet, right?" I really didn't pay much attention to him before. After all, he is an adopted son. Although he has some reputation, he also knows that the patriarch is secretly helping to build momentum. I don't know if he has real talents or knowledge.

I still wanted to wait and see before talking about it.

Xiaoyu shook her head, "No, but I heard that the patriarch seemed to be talking about this matter with the Hua family. It must have not been done yet, or it had spread long ago. By the way, Master, I heard something last night, saying that it was the former

During the Spring Examination two days ago, Miss Yue bumped into the carriage of Jin Yuhou near Li Mansion, and there was a conflict, but it was resolved by the master himself. "

"Is there anything else?"

Li Yaoxin quickly started asking seriously.

After being demoted from imperial concubine to concubine, even the news outside the palace was delayed. How could we not fight in the harem?

Xiaoyu explained the news she heard carefully, and Li Yaoxin snorted coldly after hearing it, "This Jin Yuhou is really powerful. My father is also a third-rank official in the imperial court. She lectured in public without giving any face."

ah!"

"No, you really take yourself seriously, and so does Miss Yue. She is grounded this time and can't even attend the palace banquet."

"By the way, Xiaoyu, is there any news about Chuxue attending the palace banquet?"
