Chapter 160 Punishing the Queen's Party

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" The Queen knelt down and bowed.

"Get up!" the emperor said and strode towards the inner chamber.

The queen was shocked. Her brother was still in the inner chamber.

The emperor came too suddenly, and her brother had just come in and hadn't said a word yet.

Could it be that someone discovered that her brother had entered the harem?

She guessed right. The emperor had always been wary of the queen.

He Qing was punished, so it was impossible for the Queen not to come out and plead with him. But she didn't. Everything was calm. If it was so calm, there must be something fishy going on.

The emperor sent people to monitor her bedroom every day.

He also asked Xiao Dezi to place spies around the queen.

The queen asked her brother to enter the harem disguised as a eunuch.

The people around her informed Xiao Dezi.

So it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Just happened to block her brother in the inner bedroom.

"The Queen is so elegant! She even allows eunuchs to enter the inner chamber." The Emperor sat on a chair and drank chrysanthemum tea.

"Your Majesty, isn't the New Year coming soon? I wanted to bring some New Year gifts to my parents' home, so I asked my father-in-law to help deliver them." The Queen could no longer hide the truth, so she had to lie.

"I forgot that the Queen is under house arrest. How about this, let the eunuch go to my place and bring some things to the Queen's parents' home. It's New Year's Day, and I can't be too stingy. It's only right to bring some food to the Queen's parents' home."

"Don't bother your Majesty! I'm ready." How could the Queen dare to let her brother follow the Emperor? If he was discovered, he would be dead.

Since the emperor came in, her brother has done nothing but kowtow and pay his respects.

He kept kneeling on the ground with his head down and didn't get up.

"I think this eunuch is quite capable. Xiao Dezi, look who will take care of this eunuch. He is so diligent, so he will be yours from now on."

"Your Majesty, this is my brother. He came to see me because I was confined by Your Majesty. My brother felt sorry for me and it's almost the New Year, so he came to see me. Due to the palace rules, I am pretending to be a eunuch. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

The queen had to tell the truth. She was trying to save her brother and herself. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Empress, although you are under house arrest, I didn't restrict you from having people visit you, right? Your niece came and took away so many things. Do you think I am blind? Your second brother came and took away so many things. You know it in your heart. It is natural to give things to your mother's family. I will pretend that I don't know."

"But you betrayed me, which I will not allow. Everyone has to have a bottom line. If you don't commit suicide, no one will dare to touch you. Because you are the mother of a country. You are a role model for people all over the world. But what have you done now? I gave you chance after chance, but you couldn't grasp it. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Xiao Dezi, punish this eunuch according to the palace rules. Depose the queen and send her to the cold palace. Remind me to write a document at the court tomorrow morning and announce it to the world!" After the emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Only the queen was left trembling.

The next morning, the emperor drafted a document without consulting his ministers and announced it to the world, deposing the queen. The queen's followers had their property confiscated, some were exiled, and some were imprisoned. From then on, they disappeared from the capital.

When the ministers saw the emperor's move, they followed the prince's footsteps even more.

Find out where Situ Jin lives, and plan to go there to curry favor with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on New Year's Eve.

What's worse, it was found out that the emperor's daughter's two children were about to reach the age of marriage.

I want to have a happy and harmonious relationship with my descendants.

Various calculations began to follow one after another.

Thirty years old.

In the afternoon, my uncle's family, the Duke's family, my foster mother's family, and Xia Yunyuan's family all came to the farm to celebrate the New Year.

Situ Jin's soldiers were also busy. Xia Luo and Situ Jin had already taken out the sheep, cattle, pigs, fish, rice, flour, fruits, and fresh vegetables from the space.

There are all kinds of seasonings.

Roasted lamb, hot pot, pickled fish, and all kinds of dishes that a restaurant should have were prepared for fifty tables.

Every table had grilled lamb chops, kumis, flying cakes and strong liquor.

There is also a range of Western food including desserts.

Seeing that there were too many people, Charlotte bought a lot of tents from Taobao so that the soldiers could use them in the future. Tents are cold and warm. There are too many people and the house will definitely not be able to accommodate them.

Oil lamps were placed every meter, with a few solar lamps in between. It was too dark and many people didn't notice. In this way, the whole village was brightly lit.

Xia Luo was afraid that the emperor and the imperial concubine would feel cold, so she placed a heater in the lobby, and the room suddenly became warm as spring.

The manor was busy as always, but many people came outside the door.

Situ Jin didn't even recognize some of them.

Later, when he saw the Shangshu, he realized that these people were ministers in the court.

"Your Excellency, please come in. Everyone, please come in!" They're already at the doorstep, it's impossible to refuse someone who's thousands of miles away.

The meal hasn't started yet, so he has to wait for his father and mother to come before he can eat.

Then these people sat in the lobby and chatted.

I won't leave, I'll just lean here.

When Charlotte saw so many people coming, he asked the beggars to set up five more tents.

Ask the chefs to prepare enough food for ten tables. It’s winter now and it won’t go bad if we don’t finish it.

"My lords, today is New Year's Eve. Originally, my father wanted to hold a palace banquet, but I suggested not letting him prepare that. It was uncomfortable to eat and made me feel awkward. Today, my lords are in for a treat. Let's have the New Year's Eve dinner here. We also have many wonderful performances. Please come and enjoy them."

A bunch of ministers won't leave, and Situ Jin can't drive them away. If they don't want to go back to reunite, then they can spend more materials and spend the New Year together here.

Actually, these ministers came to give gifts, but seeing that they were all colleagues, they were too embarrassed to take out the gifts, so they just leaned against each other and waited until someone could not stand it and then went back. Who knew that the prince was so generous and actually invited them to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

This really shocked them.

The key is to smell the roasted lamb.

The brain says: Let's go. The heart says: It smells so good! No, I won't go. The mouth says: Let's go. The teeth say: Why are you going when you haven't even gnawed the sheep bones yet!

So you look at me, and I look at you, but neither of us moves.

Just when they were wondering whether to leave or stay, a man and a woman got out of the car. Both were dressed casually and walked into the lobby with their heads lowered.

"Emperor..." The Minister was about to shout, but was glared back by the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Madam! I'm sorry for not welcoming you to my manor." Situ Jin made a gesture, meaning that don't address the emperor as such, but call him Your Majesty.

"Mr. Huang, you are honored to visit our farm. We are sorry for not welcoming you in person!" everyone shouted.

"We're all family, so don't be polite. Since you're here, why not try the hostess's cooking? I heard there are a lot of programs, shall we start now?"

The emperor was afraid that they would talk nonsense, so he told his ministers in a casual manner that since they were here, they should eat well, drink well, and leave after eating.

The emperor saw many carriages and horses outside the gate and took a quick glance at the things on the carriages.

These people have ulterior motives.

"We're just waiting for Mr. Huang to arrive. The show will start soon. Please move outside." Situ Jin gave the order.

Firecrackers blasted. Fireworks and firecrackers exploded. Beautiful patterns were formed. It was spectacular and stunning.

The sky outside was dyed red.

The emperor has never seen this. Neither have the others.

"It's so beautiful!" Concubine Xi looked up at the sky.

Colorful sparks bloom in the night sky, bringing joy and peace.

Adults and children were shouting and jumping towards the sky.

It was as if all the unhappiness of the year disappeared at this moment with the blooming of fireworks.
