The pace of the New Year is getting closer and there are more and more scarce officials who are interested in handling government affairs. Now, except for Liu Keshi and Ye Qing, the rest of Chang'an City are all predicting what kind of storm Ye Qing will cause in the north after the New Year.

The closer it is to the New Year, the more people's minds are attracted by the various excitement. Although the war of destruction between Xia and Liao hindered the exchanges between East and West business and other cultures, it does not mean that there are no merchants from the Western Regions and beyond in Chang'an City today.

It is still a bit ragged, just like the Chang'an City that is in desolate, and now it has gradually gained a trace of real vitality and business opportunities. Business travelers, tourists, etc. that travel from south to north, from east to west have gradually begun to gather in Chang'an City again, making the originally somewhat dilapidated Chang'an City more vibrant than before.

Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji also arrived at Chang'an City before the New Year. Ye Qing's move also made Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou, and Rong Guo Duke Zhao Shikui instantly realized that Ye Qing must have a big move in Chang'an after the New Year. However, now there is not even a trace of wind coming out, which makes several people more and more curious. What will Ye Qing do next?

The streets and alleys of Chang'an City, as the war between Xiajing and Yanzhou ended, were filled with joy and relaxation everywhere. In addition, the New Year's Day is coming, now walking on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, you can also feel the simplicity and joy.

Although it cannot be compared with the exquisite Jiangnan water town, at least today's Chang'an City has gradually gained a real peaceful atmosphere and a prosperous vitality.

Whether it was Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou, or Zhao Shikui, they would also take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere of the New Year to visit the entire Chang'an City. Ye Qing summoned the officials in Chang'an again after Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji arrived in Chang'an City, but he refused to participate in Shi Miyuan and the other two.

The three of them didn't seem to care much about Ye Qing expelling them from the outside. It seemed that they didn't care what Ye Qing would discuss with the officials in the North this time. Perhaps they were already sure... They would soon know what Ye Qing said in the Chang'an Office today.

The officials in Chang'an City, which have been in peace and stability for a long time, are busy with the necessary things for celebrating the festival. Lin'an, which is temporarily in the sunny and beautiful, is also a peaceful scene of prosperity and peace. Compared with the rough and heroic Chang'an, everything in Lin'an is obviously much more refined, whether it is people or things.

The crowded streets are still bustling with shouts and laughter, the shouts of the coachman and the sedan chairmen are intertwined, and the melodious little songs in the tiles and tiles are sometimes mixed in the sky above the crowd.

The sonorous and powerful voices of storytellers, the greetings of other guests in the teahouse, the whispers of literati and ladies, graceful and shy, the flowing water in the small bridges and flowing water, and the pavilions and terraces are even more beautiful in Lin'an.

The peddler and pawns also had a smile on their faces. Taking advantage of the coming of the New Year, they either exchanged for some New Year goods or expected someone to be willing to make more generous in this season.

The carriage slowly drove out of Zhonghe Lane. The commanders of the imperial guards patrolling the streets, Lu Zhong and Wu Gui, hurriedly signaled the imperial guards behind them, and quickly gave up a smooth road to the carriage of the Ye Mansion.

The reason why Ye’s carriage is so easy to recognize is that in addition to being very close to the Imperial City Department, the driver who drives is always completely different from other drivers in Lin'an City.

In Lin'an City, there has never been any

A coachman dressed as an outsider, and then he was able to drive with confidence and pride and accepted the attention of everyone. Only the coachman in Ye's house was actually driven by an outsider, and he gave people a kind of car, as if driving was an extremely noble errand.

Zhong Qing in the carriage has lost a lot of weight than before, and her splendid temperament has once again replaced her image as a pregnant woman a few days ago. Now Zhong Qing, especially after Ye Qing reaffirmed that the child she gave birth to was surnamed Zhong, Zhong Qing seemed to be reborn, and her whole body looked dazzling, which made Li Fengniang in the palace both jealous and puzzled. Other women will become haggard after giving birth, but only Zhong Qing, after giving birth to a boy for Ye Qing, became younger and more beautiful.

The country is beautiful and beautiful, and the temperament is even more purer than her queen.

Zhong Qing, who was smiling at the corner of her mouth, sat alone in the carriage, while Tao Qian drove the carriage towards the direction of the palace and Ningmen.

The Hening Gate obviously had already become accustomed to the Ye Mansion's carriage, and also was slightly amazed at Zhong Qing, who had gotten off the carriage. Even the waist sign was just a rough look, and then Zhong Qing walked into the palace.

Following the eunuch Qingqiu slowly heading towards Renming Hall where the queen Li Fengniang is, Zhong Qing, who was already very familiar with the palace, looked at the eunuch Qingqiu who was leading the way from time to time.

Since serving Li Fengniang, this eunuch has become one of the few people in the palace that court officials attach great importance to. He will do his best to please the queen, and it is related to the Imperial City Department. Now, in private, he has gathered many of his confidants in front of him.

As for this matter, Li Fengniang was not clear, Zhong Qing didn't know, but Qingqiu's every move did not get rid of the Imperial City Department's surveillance on him.

It is precisely because Zhong Qing looked at Qingqiu's back from time to time that Qingqiu, who was walking in front of her, felt like she was on her back along the way.

Seeing Renming Palace already looking at it, looking at Zhu Yeer, the palace maid standing at the entrance of the hall and waiting for the queen to welcome Zhong Qing, Qingqiu felt a little more relieved. When she stood at the entrance of the hall and sent Zhong Qing in respectfully, Qingqiu felt relieved. Only then did she realize that her entire back was soaked in sweat without realizing it.

"What a powerful woman, no wonder she can hold the Imperial City Secretary firmly in her hands." Qingqiu looked at the bluestone slab at the foot of Renming Hall without squinting, thinking like an old monk entering a meditation.

In the hall, Li Fengniang looked at Zhong Qing, who was still glorious and charming. Although she had a smile on her face, her heart felt mixed feelings. She was really jealous and curious about how Zhong Qing was becoming more and more young and beautiful now.

But Li Fengniang, who has always been arrogant and has been a little dissatisfied with Zhong Qing, would rather die of suffocation than ask such curiosity from her mouth.

The New Year is approaching, but it will not hinder the two women from verbal battles. Zhu Ye'er, who is beside her, has long been used to the fact that when the queen and Mrs. Ye meet, they will mock each other with guns and sticks in their words.

Zhong Qing's personality has always given people an intellectual and gentle feeling, but whether it is Zhu Yeer or Li Fengniang, they all know that this woman is not simple, especially since the Imperial City Si handed over to Zhong Qing after Ye Qing left Lin'an, the original intention was to prevent Zhong Qing from being bullied by others in Lin'an.

But this is just over a year

In less than two years, Zhong Qing, with her own strength, not only firmly controlled the Imperial City Department, but even Li Fengniang, Qingqiu, who secretly instructed to seize power, suffered several secret losses in front of Zhong Qing. Li Fengniang was also secretly warned by Zhong Qing several times, which made her look dirty.

So now, two women seem to be greeting gently in the main hall of Renming Hall, but the smell of gunpowder in their words has never diminished at all.

The two looked at each other again and smiled. This verbal confrontation ended again with a draw without expectation. However, looking at the blue blood vessels on the back of Li Fengniang's snow-white hand, she knew that this draw still made her feel like she was suffering a loss.

"Madam Ye, I heard you just came back from Gushan yesterday?" Li Fengniang looked at her fair fingers and glanced at Zhong Qing indifferently to express her disdain and being above the top.

"Go back to the queen, it's not bad. I just came back from Gushan yesterday. But today... the queen summoned me to the palace, afraid it was not for this matter, right?" Zhong Qing was neither humble nor arrogant, and the smile on her lips slightly raised, as if it was carved out from the same mold as Ye Qing's signature gentle smile, and she said lightly.

Li Fengniang raised her eyes slanted and smiled coldly: "It seems that Ye Qing has known you. Otherwise, you may have been serving Gushan and refused to return to Lin'an City? Zhong Qing, the wise man doesn't say secret words. I am really curious. Are you really thinking about Ye Qing's care or want to become a woman who has lost her husband again?"

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has kindness for me, but I dare not forget it. Now the Empress Dowager is in trouble. It is only natural for me to go to Gushan to serve him." Zhong Qing said with a smile. Although she didn't say a word to mock Li Fengniang, her expression and tone were obviously accusing Li Fengniang of not knowing what filial piety is.

"Hmph! If he hadn't been determined to abolish my palace and establish a new new one, how could I do this? Zhong Qing, I told you, don't think that the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager like you, you can ignore this palace. Don't forget that the Supreme Emperor is not as simple as you see! Be careful that one day, if you can steal a chicken, you will lose a handful of rice!" Li Fengniang couldn't help but clench her fists and said pink.

Zhong Qing lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, raised her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, the queen, I am sure of my body and mind, how can I help my husband."

Finally, Zhong Qing bit the five words of my husband very much. It was a different feeling to Li Fengniang's ears.

He snorted coldly, his face became more and more cold, and he said, "Today's Japanese Palace summons you to know what Ye Qing has said to you about the choice of the Anton Protectorate and the majority of the Anbei Protectorate. What did Ye Qing say to you? What kind of virtue can King Qing be able to be the majority of the Anxi Protectorate? I don't agree with this."

"Who is the most suitable candidate for the queen?" Zhong Qing's expression also became solemn. Along the way, she originally thought that Queen Li Fengniang just wanted to take control of the two major vassals of Andong and Anbei, who were about to be reset.

Unexpectedly, Li Fengniang wanted to hold the Anxi Protectorate's Office in her hands.
