Shen Lanying inquired with the eunuch next to her and found out that different costumes, different postures, different platform heights, and different colors of the blankets on the ground could indicate which department the emperor belonged to.

Listening to the officials in the court discussing political affairs, Shen Lanying couldn't sleep, so she listened to it on the side, and the eunuchs standing guard on the side didn't dare to say anything.

Soon, she heard something she was interested in.

Mufu Tusi will arrive in the capital in three days, and Emperor Hui asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange a banquet, and then a large group of ministers discussed the specifications of the half-day banquet and who should go.

The next topic is about the internal purge of the Imperial Forest Army, and the change of rate and general. Emperor Hui mentioned Dongfang Li's name, which sparked a heated discussion that lasted for an hour.

Dongfang Li was present today, and Emperor Hui also asked him what he meant.

Ah Li only said that wherever the court arranged for him to go, he would take root there, without his own ideas.

Different parties supported different candidates, and in the end there was still no result. In the end, Emperor Hui just explained to Da Sima and asked him to select some military generals with good qualifications from the locality, and bring the list tomorrow, so that everyone could discuss the small positions first.

Emperor Hui saw that it was not too early, so he picked out small things for everyone to discuss, and he completed the task today. The last topic that Shen Lanying was also interested in was about the Luo family.

This time, Emperor Hui didn't let everyone discuss it, but just sent a copy of the rubbed materials to everyone, and asked the ministers to go back and think about it and prepare for tomorrow's discussion.

When talking about the last few topics, Emperor Hui's eyes kept staring at the leak on the right side, and when the last quickglass was finished, he breathed a sigh of relief, obviously not caring about what the subordinates were talking about, just waiting to say, "It's not too early, there is something to discuss tomorrow, and Zhong Aiqing will retire." ”

The eunuch next to him immediately hunched over and stepped forward, took the hill-like fold on the table, and put it into the small box next to him. Such a deposited excerpt can only be opened again if tomorrow's work is completed ahead of schedule, but this situation does not exist here in Huidi.

More than 90 percent of the folds sent to Emperor Hui were not approved. Emperor Hui only spends half an hour every day on the review and review of the folds, only looking at the excerpts of officials above the third grade, as for the excerpts of minor officials, he will only open them when he is in the court, and let everyone discuss them if he thinks they are worth discussing, and throw them aside if they are not worth discussing.

So, in general, the final fate of the folds handed to Emperor Hui by the petty officials was to lie in the garbage basket as it was.

I heard that the early emperors of the Yong Dynasty, no matter how many folds there were, would complete the correction on the same day. If there is something important to discuss, it will be discussed on the same day, and if it cannot be done in the morning, then invite the ministers to have a meal and then continue in the afternoon.

But this kind of overtime in the afternoon has never been seen in the Huidi period.

What a healthy emperor.

Shen Lanying sighed in her heart, watching the full hall of courtiers leave the venue in order, before she suddenly reacted that Emperor Hui had something to say before calling her over.

, this old man must have forgotten.

Shen Lanying looked suspiciously in the direction of the dragon chair, Emperor Hui did not leave, but just began to drink tea and eat fruit leisurely.

Shen Lanying was thinking about whether she could go back to sleep, and the voice of Emperor Hui came from the court across the curtain, and the old man slowly clicked the names of a dozen or so people and asked them to stay.

Those who were left behind were all close ministers, including Si Kou Qingling.

When she heard the name Si Kou Qingling, Shen Lanying was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Si Kou Qingling's position is to manage archives, so he shouldn't have to go to court every day. Moreover, three months ago, Wang Yichen took the wrong medicine and forced Si Kou Qingling, and at that time, they also saw Si Kou Qingling's maid go to the pharmacy and buy tocolytics. It stands to reason that Si Kou Qingling should be three months pregnant now.

During the pregnancy and breastfeeding of female officials, there is no need to go to court.

Shen Lanying was full of doubts, and the ministers in the court quickly left, leaving only a few who were named by Emperor Hui.

Emperor Hui looked at the bead curtain on Shen Lanying's side, and a kind smile appeared on his face, "Wan'er, come here." ”

Suddenly being called by name, Shen Lanying was startled, hurriedly responded respectfully, lifted the curtain and walked out. Under the attention of a group of courtiers, Shi Shiran came to Emperor Hui's side, and knelt down in a standard manner, "The sons and daughters ask for peace to their father." ”

Hui Dile beckoned to her, "Wan'er, come and sit with me." ”

The eunuch who was waiting next to him immediately brought a stool. Shen Lanying lowered her head slightly, walked to Emperor Hui and sat down.

"Wan'er, have you been here for a long time?"

Shen Lanying looked up at Emperor Hui, lowered her head again, and whispered, "My father sent someone to Lian'an Palace two hours ago to call Erchen, and Erchen knew the news and rushed here immediately. ”

The implication is that she has been waiting outside for four hours, and now she is in an extremely unhappy mood.

Emperor Hui was stunned for a moment, then his face showed anger, and he looked at the little eunuch who was talking next to him, "Don't you know that my early dynasty will not end until noon." ”

The little eunuch was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth, and he knelt down and kowtowed again and again to confess his guilt.

Shen Lanying felt very helpless, when Emperor Hui ordered the eunuch to go to Lian'an Palace to call her, he did not explain the specific time, so Mama Wangchun asked her to leave immediately. And now Emperor Hui is pushing the pot on the back of the little eunuch. The eunuch on this errand was also miserable.

"Father, you are discussing state affairs in the court, and you are so laborious, and your sons and daughters have only waited for two hours, which is nothing. Don't take it to heart Father, let's get down to business. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Hui waved his hand to the eunuch, "Go down." Then he glanced at a few courtiers under the steps, "Today, I will leave you Aiqing behind, only talk about family affairs, not about state affairs, you Aiqing can speak freely, no need to scruples." ”

The people below gave up their hands one after another, and said a few words, "Obey the order." ”

Emperor Hui nodded and looked at Shen Lanying, "Wan'er, I heard that when you were in Jiangnan, you had a good relationship with Qinglian, right?"

Qinglian is the character of Si Kou Qingling.

Shen Lanying glanced at Si Kou Qingling at the bottom of the steps.

There are courtiers of all levels below, even the prime minister is standing, and only Si Kou Qingling is sitting alone. Her appearance and temperament are the same as usual, only her abdomen is slightly bulging, and she is indeed pregnant.

Shen Lanying retracted her gaze, nodded obediently, and leaned into Emperor Hui's ear and whispered, "Erchen also read the book of the Si Kou family, and I think it is quite strange and novel, do you want to see it?
