Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 360 Who Has the Perfect Plan?

The Emperor was in the next room, and when the ministers were drinking, he could clearly hear the Queen Mother urging the ladies to drink.

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded!

Daiyu then quietly approached and said with a low laugh, "I am here on the orders of the Queen Mother, how can I pretend to obey and secretly disobey?

"But even if I don't care, if the Queen Mother is in the side hall and uses her magic weapon that will hurt both sides, will you be willing to let her get drunk and hurt herself?"

The Queen Mother was speechless and could only glare at her again: "You have led the Queen Mother astray! She has become arrogant because of her favor!"

"As you command!" Daiyu bowed her head and even made a small salute. "The Supreme God has blessed your servant with these four words. I will definitely obey your command!"

Then he stood up, turned around and waved to Tao Xingjian, "Grand Eunuch, the Lord should not eat such greasy food at night.

"Just put these chickens, ducks, fish, meat, snacks and fruits on display and then leave.

"Ask the kitchen to bring a soup that warms the stomach, in a large bowl. Also two green vegetables and a side dish for drinking, that's all."

After a pause, he stood up and glanced at Emperor Zhaoming's desk through Hongchang, frowning, "Your Majesty, keep the two fruits and exchange the rest."

Tao Xingjian ignored the angry glances from the Supreme Lord and Emperor Zhaoming and immediately bowed and agreed: "Yes!"

Turn around and do it.

Dai Quan immediately dodged backwards, found an angle where his back couldn't be seen, and laughed silently with his hands covering his mouth.

The Supreme Being could not see it, but the people below could see it clearly.

Tonight Feng Ziying was ordered to lead the imperial guards and guard the gate of the Linde Palace.

Just now, Emperor Zhaoming and the Supreme Lord both secretly gave him some wine.

Now he was seen by some familiar people from the four kings and eight dukes, who dragged him into the main hall to have a drink before leaving:

"In previous years, when our two families visited each other, your father would bring you to our house for New Year's dinner. This year, your father is ill and you have to be on duty, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet.

"Come here quickly, toast your uncles and wish them a happy new year - otherwise we will trouble you after the new year!"

So Feng Ziying was also standing in the chaos below, holding a wine glass.

Although he was far away and had no idea what kind of lawsuit was going on, he saw Dai Quan's gloating expression as soon as he looked up. He knew that the Supreme Lord must have been humiliated in front of the Lin family's daughter, so he couldn't help but laugh.

Laughter is contagious.

Although no one knew what the people around them were laughing at, the word spread from one person to another, and then to three, and everyone started laughing too.

The Queen Mother was just grudgingly taking the love soup and drinking it all, when she heard everyone laughing and looked down in confusion.

The Eastern Prince had already accurately grabbed Feng Ziying from the crowd and asked, "But is it the little kid from Feng Tang's family?"

Feng Ziying quickly knelt on one knee and saluted: "Hello, Grandpa Mu! Happy New Year, Grandpa Mu, I wish you a long life and good luck!"

Dong Wang smiled and pulled him up: "Okay! Smart! You know I've been fed up with Dong Hai for a long time, so don't say the second half of the sentence."

Everyone laughed.

The Eastern King did not laugh, but instead put his arm around Feng Ziying's neck and asked with a smile: "You were the first one among the officials to laugh just now. What were you laughing at?"

Feng Ziying glanced up and whispered in the ear without even stuttering, "Just now I saw Dai Neixiang laughing secretly up there!

"These must be the three female generals sent by the Queen Mother who surrounded the Lord, cut off the firewood from under the cauldron, and directly seized his wine pot.

"I'm afraid the Supreme Master can't drink even a drop of these twenty jars of Shaodaozi!"

The Eastern King let him go, but threw his sleeves and said, "Hey~~! It's New Year's Day, how can we miss the wine from the Supreme Lord?"

He turned around, walked to the imperial steps, and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't you want to share the joy with the people?"

As he said that, he turned sideways, clenched his empty fist, and stretched out his hand with the back of his wrist facing upwards!

The Supreme's eyes lit up immediately, and he stood up without anyone being able to catch him. He hurriedly grabbed the collar of his robe, dodged Anchang, and trotted down the imperial steps.

As soon as he put his hand on the East King's wrist, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Old brothers still understand my heart best!"

He actually walked down the imperial steps, entered the crowd, and was about to take the East King's wine jug and drink with everyone!

Emperor Zhaoming sat up straight, speechless: "This, Father!"

Daiyu was quick to act and immediately pushed Hongchang, saying in a low and urgent voice: "You are not allowed to drink from other people's glasses! Go!"

He casually stuffed the wine bottle on the table into Hongchang's hand and whispered a few words in his ear!

Hongchang nodded vigorously, without wasting a moment, he stood up, picked up his skirt and ran down!

On the other side, Daiyu's gaze quickly turned to Dai Quan!

Dai Quan's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly followed!

Princess Hongchang Yunying is unmarried.

The men in the palace, members of the royal family, had to give face to Prince Kejin; and the court officials were so bold as to not dare to have any physical contact with her, and they immediately made way for her.

Hong Changshun easily and quickly trotted to the outside of the inner circle surrounding Tai Shang.

Prince Yu, Prince Zhongshun, the three princes of Dongping, Xining and Nangan, as well as a few dukes and chancellors.

"Princess Hongchang? From the Kejin family? Little girl, why are you here to meddle in this?" Prince Yu frowned.

Prince Zhongshun said, "That's right! Kejin? Taking your little girl away! How can that be disgraceful!"

Hongchang smiled and said, "Uncle Zhongshun, no matter how young Hongchang is, he is still a soldier under the command of the Queen Mother. You dare to disobey her order? The Hongchang family doesn't have the courage to do that!"

Prince Zhongshun's face suddenly turned gloomy and he turned around to drink with others.

She had only taken two steps away when she suddenly turned back to see how she would deal with Prince Yu.

But Hongchang seemed not to have heard Prince Yu's words at all. He just walked forward with a charming smile, took and handed over, and replaced the wine jar of Prince Dong in the hands of the Supreme Lord with his own.

Tai Shang glared at her angrily.

Hongchang immediately behaved very well: "Aunt Zhaoqing said, it's New Year's Day, how can I really stop you from having fun?

"But you know the Queen Mother's temper. So please use your own wine bottle and drink from a special jar.

"It's better to avoid getting drunk and fainting, so that the Queen Mother won't cause trouble for others."

When Dai Quan heard this, he came to his senses and sweat broke out on his forehead. He ordered someone to bring the unopened jar of Shaodaozi.

He secretly had someone test the poison behind everyone's back, and he personally held the wine in his hands and filled the Taishang's wine jar with it.

Emperor Zhaoming saw it clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly ordered Feng Ziying: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you go and replace Dai Neixiang and Hongchang!"

Feng Ziying seemed to have just woken up, and hurried forward to take the jar from Dai Quan's hand, and gently asked the old internal minister: "Just support the emperor and look at the wine jar in his hand."

Hong Chang exhaled, smiled sweetly, took two steps back, came to his father's side, and smiled quietly: "Don't worry, father! Princess Zhaoqing has made every possible plan!"

Prince Kejin snorted: "What do you know, little girl?!

"This is a well-thought-out plan by our Emperor!"

Both father and daughter looked upwards vaguely.

Emperor Zhaoming was on the left, Princess Zhaoqing was on the right, both of them sat upright and dignified.

Only the Princess Anchang, who had not yet reacted, sat at the table on the far right with a bewildered look on her face:

Who am I, where am I, what's going on - what am I here for?
