Chapter 50: The Emperor's Appreciation
It has been a long time since Shen Zeyuan came to the mansion last time, and the restaurant has also installed some dead soldiers under Shen Zeyuan's hands according to Shen Zeyuan's wishes, and he has inquired a lot of news in the past few days.
Song Shuyan was busy working in the restaurant recently, and he heard the chatter of several rich sons in the restaurant.
"Hey, do you know? I heard that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has an unusual relationship with the seven princes of the current dynasty, and it seems that the two of them went to enjoy the scenery together yesterday and were seen. ”
"Then doesn't this mean that the Seventh Prince intends to marry the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Hey, who knows about this kind of thing, it's better for us not to discuss it, otherwise we won't know if we lose our heads. ”
Song Shuyan listened to the small talk of those people, a glint flashed in his eyes, it seems that something is about to happen recently, this Song Wanyan really can't stop for a moment.
Sure enough, as Song Shuyan expected, not long after this day, when the emperor invited someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that there was something important to discuss, and asked Song Shuyan to go with him, Song Ling was a little at a loss for a while.
Song Shuyan looked at Song Ling and smiled: "Why is my father so flustered, we already have a clear conscience, what are we afraid of, your panic like this will make the emperor suspicious." ”
Song Ling looked at his eldest daughter, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he had to say that sometimes he could really see the shadow of Zhige on Song Shuyan's body.
Song Shuyan saw that Song Ling was stunned when he looked at him, and he knew it in his heart, and followed the father-in-law who was reported in the palace to get into the carriage and drive towards the palace.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the palace, and the emperor was waiting for their arrival in the palace early.
"Courtiers (ministers) participate in the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live," Song Shuyan and Song Ling saluted the emperor, and the emperor waved his hand to signal the two to get up.
Song Shuyan glanced at the emperor, lowered his head and didn't speak.
"I invited you here today to talk to you about the Seventh Prince and the second young lady of your family," the emperor looked at Song Ling, his eyes full of inquiry.
"If the emperor asks, the minister must tell the emperor what the minister knows," Song Ling said respectfully as he looked at the emperor.
"I heard that the relationship between the second lady and the seventh prince is very close recently, can the prime minister know?"
"The minister knows that the seventh prince was born to love to be lively, and so is the minister's second daughter, so the two of them sometimes make an appointment to go out to play together," Song Ling lowered his head and said, sweating profusely on his forehead.
Song Shuyan glanced at Song Ling and secretly sighed in his heart about his father's courage, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to listen quietly to the conversation between the two of them.
"Then it seems that the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Prime Minister's family is not ordinary?"
"This ...... Please also ask the emperor to know that the seven princes just have more contact with the little girl, but the minister has no contact with the seven princes," Song Ling heard the tentative meaning in the emperor's words, and was a little flustered for a while.
"You really don't have anything to do with the Seven Princes?"
"Your Majesty, my father works for the emperor every day, works hard for state affairs, and is loyal to the emperor, every time the Seven Princes come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, my father is busy with official business, and he has no time to contact the Seven Princes, and he also asks the Emperor to be clear," Song Shuyan saw that Song Ling didn't know what to say, and couldn't help but speak.
"Are you telling me that your father is loyal to me?"
Song Shuyan looked at the emperor and smiled: "The courtiers don't dare, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, so naturally his heart is as clear as a mirror, and the courtiers are just telling the truth." ”
The emperor looked at Song Shuyan, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, this eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was really as smart as rumored.
"Then if I marry you, are you willing?" The emperor looked at Song Shuyan, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
Song Shuyan smiled and said: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the whole world is the emperor, what the emperor says is naturally what it is, if the emperor wants to marry his courtiers, the courtiers are grateful." ”
The emperor looked at Song Shuyan and laughed: "Then what do you think of my third prince?"
"The third prince is gentle and humble, and he is a good person," Song Shuyan lowered her head and smiled, the broken hair in front of her forehead blocked the disgust that flashed in her eyes.
"Would you like to marry the two of you?"
"Let the emperor arrange it," Song Shuyan glanced at the emperor and smiled, knowing in his heart that the emperor wanted Shen Zecang to marry him to contain Shen Zeyuan.
The emperor looked at Song Shuyan and nodded with satisfaction, looked at Song Ling on the side, and said, "What does the prime minister want?"
"The minister is at the behest of the emperor, and the emperor's marriage is a blessing for our prime minister's mansion," Song Ling lowered his head to show his loyalty.
"Then it's decided?" The emperor looked at Song Shuyan, and his eyes were full of inquiry.
"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the whole world is the emperor, naturally what the emperor said," Song Shuyan smiled, his eyes were full of respect, and the emperor was also very comfortable listening to Song Shuyan's words, and he had a good impression of Song Shuyan.
Song Shuyan looked at the emperor and seemed to be a little tired, frowned, and began to secretly observe the emperor, only to see that the emperor seemed to be a little tired, and was silent for a moment Song Shuyan couldn't help but speak: "The emperor has been unwell recently?"
The emperor looked at Song Shuyan, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he thought that he had behaved very energetically, and he didn't know where Song Shuyan could see that he was unwell.
"That's right, I've been feeling a little tired lately, and I don't know what's wrong. ”
"The courtiers have the courage to prescribe a few medicine patches for the emperor, and the emperor only needs to take the medicine according to the medicine patches, and it will definitely get better after seven days," Song Shuyan said as he watched the emperor kneel on the ground.
The emperor looked at Song Shuyan, a smile flashed in his eyes, "You are quite bold, what's the matter?
"The courtier's daughter is shallow and ugly, and she can only have some skins," Song Shuyan lowered his head and was very humble.
The emperor smiled, looked at Song Shuyan's eyes full of appreciation, and said, "Okay, you can open it, if my body improves, you will be greatly rewarded." ”
Song Shuyan looked at the emperor and nodded, asked for a pen and paper from his father-in-law on the side, and began to open a pharmacy for the emperor, and then instructed the father-in-law: "Remember to give these medicines to the emperor after eating three meals a day, and the emperor's health will improve after seven days, can you remember?"
"Yes, the slave remembered," the father-in-law looked at Song Shuyan and smiled, his eyes were full of admiration, there are not many people who can be appreciated in front of the emperor, this concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a smart person, no wonder she will be appreciated by the emperor.
The emperor saw that Song Shuyan was so dedicated to his illness, and couldn't help but give up the idea of marrying her, a smart woman like her, she was wronged by getting married early, it would be better to let her do more things to contribute to the country.
