Chapter 389 Mid-Autumn Festival Extra 1
The palace maid followed Xu Yan in a hurry. Xu Yan, who was walking in front, striding forward without any pause. The palace maid next to him seemed to be unable to see the scene, and couldn't help but speak to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, don't have to walk so fast."
Xu Yan didn't even look at the palace maid and said directly: "Okay, don't you need to comfort me anymore. Is there any Chi Gu who has no thought in his heart? You don't have to say anything next to me to comfort me."
The palace maid silently, and then said to Xu Yan: "No, your Majesty, you really don't have to worry about this. The ministers should have just entered the venue at this time, and there are not all of them yet. The envoys from various countries are also lined up outside the palace gate to prepare to come in. It doesn't matter if you walk leisurely at this time."
When Xu Yan heard the words of the great palace maid, she felt a little credible. She had always felt that such a great palace maid would favor her, and chose to let her pass through it smoothly in order to make her less tired. But she didn't want to, how could she let the ministers wait on such an important day?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan slowed down, but he could still see the hurried signs. The grand palace maid on the side sighed, reached out and sorted out the wrinkles on Xu Yan's sleeves without any trace, and then said to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty has worked hard recently. Today, it is not necessary to be so nervous and hasty. It should also be shared with the ministers at this time."
Xu Yan couldn't hear these words, but there was one thing that the great palace maid said was right, that is, she was really busy these days, so busy that Xu Yan even had the illusion that this was the busiest period since she ascended the throne.
This year's year is a bit special. The envoys from several countries came to Beijing and collided with Zhongqiu Festival. While she was busy meeting the envoys from various countries, listening to their plans for diplomatic relations with Xu in the next year, she also guided the Ministry of Rites to complete the arrangements for this Zhongqiu Festival.
I have to say that it is really important to have a good minister to assist him. Xu Yan now deeply understands this. It’s not because of something else, but because the Ministry of Rites changed to be the minister this year, she didn’t want to let Wang Luo, the then minister of the Ministry of Rites, go. After all, she has worked together for several years. She knows what Wang Luo’s strength is, and she never makes any mistakes in the things he undertakes.
As a result, when it was mid-autumn this year, Wang Luo suddenly asked her for leave and said that he had to go back to deal with something at home, which left her helpless. She had not been persuaded, but seeing that his expression seemed to have something amazing, she did not dare to persuade him again, so she had to give him a leave.
It's okay if he doesn't return it, but it involves the matter arranged by the Zhongqiu Festival. The newly promoted person to temporarily hold him up was a student he recommended. Xu Yan looked at him as not stupid, otherwise Wang Luo wouldn't let him be his own student. How could he deal with things so hard? When she thought of the troubles that the young student had caused for her in the past two days, she couldn't help but have a headache.
It would be fine if he didn't know how to adapt, but the key problem was that he was still stubborn and did not repent. Every time he reported to her, he always felt domineering. Xu Yan was very puzzled by this, and even had an illusion about him and her identity. Didn't he know that the empress in front of him who held the power of life and death? Who gave him the courage to speak to her like this?
Not to mention Xu Yan, even the great palace maid who had been by her side had been angry several times, but she had never taken action due to Xu Yan's face. Xu Yan felt that the young man was a little more angry after all, and the running-in process would make these things sluggish his aura. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be becoming more and more arrogant.
Xu Yan was confused. Not long after, he heard news about this young boy from Yun Qi. It turned out that this kid was from the Liang Sect, so he could explain it. However, when Xu Yan heard the news, he felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps no one would think that his ministers were on the opposite side of him, and it was still on such an important matter.
However, thanks to Yun Qi, Xu Yan gave up the conversation with this boy and removed him from his post. On the day of his dismissal, Xu Yan saw another look other than contempt on his face for the first time, which was shocked and unbelievable. Xu Yan was calm as usual, just as today was just talking to him about the arrangements of the Zhongqiu Festival as before. He looked at Xu Yan for a long time, and then knelt down to receive the order.
Before leaving, he turned around and asked Xu Yan what he was most curious about: "My master and I are leaving. Do you want to prepare for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival in person?" Xu Yan smiled slowly, as generous and gentle as she used to be: "Do you think I, Da Xu, are you really the only ones who are available to me?"
His body stiffened, and he didn't say anything else, and walked out straight away. Xu Yan looked at his back without looking back, and the smile on his lips gradually solidified. She snorted coldly, picked up the secret letter on the table and put it in the candlelight beside him. The palace maid vaguely saw a few words "Wang Luo" and "Liang Sect" from the sporadic fragments. She didn't need to know too much, she already knew why this incident was.
Therefore, Xu Yan would take all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites to deal with themselves in the past few days when there was no one at the position of the Minister of Rites, and also pay attention to the contact between their master and disciple and Liang State. Envoys from various countries should not relax here, so they should keep a close eye on them to avoid any actions they would do.
Fortunately, Yunqi helped her share a lot of things openly and secretly, which made her feel much more relaxed. Thinking of her arrangements for so many days, Xu Yan was still a little nervous at this moment. I don’t know how the people below arranged it. If she did what she said, there should be no mistakes; but I’m afraid that those who are interested would choose to make something happen at the banquet at this time.
Thinking of the increasingly rampant imitation Liang school recently, her steps became faster. The great palace maid looked at Xu Yan's faster and faster steps, sighed softly, and chased after him with her skirt.
Finally, she arrived in the hall. Xu Yan looked at the eunuch who was about to be announced and raised her hand to stop him. She quietly observed everything in the hall behind the curtain in the hall. After finding that there was nothing unusual, she winked at the eunuch. The eunuch nodded, then cleared her throat, blushed and shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is here!"
Everyone in the hall stopped moving in unison, looked at the place where Xu Yan walked out and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you will be blessed!" Xu Yan walked to the high position calmly and waved his hand and said, "All the Lords." After hearing Xu Yan's order, the ministers stood up one after another and stood aside in a hurry.
Xu Yan couldn't, so he had to say to them: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I remember that everyone has worked hard this year, so the palace held this banquet. Gu thought that everyone would gather together today, chat about family matters, watch singing and dancing to relax. There is no need to be so reserved, but instead let go of Gu's wishes."
