After saying that, Mrs. Tang said, Xiao Tang still didn't dare to believe it, looked at Mrs. Tang, and looked at Huaizhen, but saw her smile and glanced at herself...... That kind of graceful and tactful, affectionate and happy appearance is even more touching than before.

Xiao Tang felt that his heart was beating very quickly, so he hurriedly walked over, held his hand and asked, "Is it true?"

Huaizhen couldn't help but smile and bowed his head, shyly silent.

Xiao Tang looked at her for a long time, and he was also pleasantly surprised, he didn't know what to do, so he suddenly opened his hand to hug her, but he didn't dare to push too hard, so he was busy and lighter.

Mrs. Tang watched from behind, and was about to reprimand him for being frivolous and ignorant of the severity, but suddenly saw him let go of his hand, knowing that he was measured.

Mrs. Tang also smiled to herself, because she said: "You are so good to keep Huaizhen, don't mess around, don't make her angry......"

Xiao Tang held Huaizhen's hand in one hand, and gently hugged her on the other hand, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he thought for a while, and said, "What time is this...... Got it?"

Huai Zhen's face turned red with shame, and he whispered: "This is confused...... You're at home all day...... How do I know. ”

It's just that Xiao Tang's tenderness and sweetness are all on Huaizhen's body, but as long as it doesn't hinder Huaizhen's body, he is a little unrestrained, so which time did he get it...... I can't even talk about it.

Xiao Tang has always been a clear and quiet person, but this time, he was a little dizzy, as if he was half drunk, because he smiled: "Sure enough, I was confused, so ...... How did you know you had it?"

Huai Zhen saw that he was in a trance with joy, so he lowered his head, pursed his lips and said, "What do you ask, you have to talk to you about everything? ”

It turned out that I went to the kitchen with my true book today, because I told them to find the fresh eel and make a soup out, but I smelled the smell in the kitchen, and I couldn't stand it, and I couldn't help but vomit when I came out, and I just thought it was a temporary chest tightness, and I didn't take it seriously, and it didn't alarm my wife Minli reads();.

Who knew that when it was time for lunch, he had only eaten for a while, and he made a mistake again...... Naturally, she didn't think about it at all, or Minli saw something wrong, because she grabbed her and asked quietly, Huaizhen didn't believe it, just shook her head and said no.

Minli was an experienced person in the end, so she refused to comply, and even called a doctor to show her...... When he was overjoyed, Huaizhen himself was also stunned.

There was a girl over there who flew to tell Mrs. Tang, and when Mrs. Tang heard it, she was overjoyed and had the potential to bloom.

Previously, Mrs. Tang was looking forward to this happy letter, but who knew that there were first rumors that Xiao Tang had an accident, and then she became ill with her true thoughts, and she was sad and panicked...... There was a momentum of family ruin, and when Xiao Tang came back, Huaizhen was also good, and Mrs. Tang actually extinguished the intention of the pioneer who was looking forward to the heir, and now these people in front of her are neat and tidy! The others are just going with the flow.

Who knew that at this moment, this great news came out again, so how could Mrs. Tang not be ecstatic?

At this time, Xiao Tang had to ask again, but Huai Zhen had already smiled and said, "Before...... I instructed the cook to boil fresh black bean and eel soup, and asked them to bring it to drink. ”

Xiao Tang couldn't love it, so he only kissed her lightly on the cheek, and asked softly, "What kind of soup do you boil for me for no reason?"

Huaizhen glanced at him, smiled, and said, "That's it, you don't have to ask, you have to drink two bowls of raw drinks." ”

Xiao Tang had to agree, and asked the maid to bring it, and sure enough, the heat was just right, the soup was snow-white, and the fragrance was fragrant, which made people appetize at a glance.

Xiao Tang took the bowl, but fed Huaizhen to eat first, Huaizhen saw his kindness, so he reluctantly took a bite, after all, he couldn't smell it, so he turned his face away, frowned, and said: "Don't bother about me, you can drink it freely." ”

Xiao Tang looked at her with a different expression, turned around and drank it hurriedly, asked the girl to clean up, rinsed her mouth again, and then returned to her, still guarding Huaizhen, and said: "I have the heart to ask me to make soup, and now my body is like this, but I also need to take more maintenance." ”

Huaizhen saw that he drank so hastily, and he was about to say a few words, but when he heard the words, he refused to make a sound, but just fixed his eyes on him.

After staring blankly at his face for a long time, he looked at the temples and forehead again, raised his hand, stroked it lightly for a while, and muttered, "After Mrs. heard about it...... I don't know how, she is doing her best, and she can't lose me. It's you...... It's good that this is going to happen...... I was relieved that I had never had gray hair. ”

Huai Zhen said, and couldn't help but think of the situation he saw in his previous life, and his gray sideburns were really sad.

After all, she couldn't let go of this matter, and secretly swore in her heart: no matter what happens in this life, she will not dare to call him such a situation again, so she is on guard first, and only asks people to start with "food supplements".

Xiao Tang listened to her whispering, and naturally didn't understand what she meant, so he smiled and said: "White hair? Although I am much older than you, I won't give birth to white hair so early?

Huaizhen smiled, looked at him and said: "No, it was originally that you were very busy in the court, so naturally you were worried a lot, this He Shou black eel soup is good, it can best nourish qi and blood, nourish the liver and kidneys, and you just came back at that time...... It was like that, and it was worrying. I have already commanded them to boil you a bowl every day, so don't be annoyed, and remember to drink it raw. ”

Xiao Tang understood her intentions, so he hugged it again, and said tiredly: "It's still the lady who loves me the most." ”

His face was pressed against his cheeks, and he kissed him warmly, like a child, and could not be separated for a moment...... Where could this stubborn trick be in front of people? He is the most stable and dignified, and he is awe-inspiring.

Huaizhen couldn't help but smile, turned his head to look, and sighed, "What did you say about the upward side before?"

Xiao Tang's heart was shocked, because it involved Ying Lanfeng, he didn't dare to hide it, so he briefly said the matter of the dispute with the court.

Huai Zhen was a little worried and asked, "Dad is really unhappy?"

Xiao Tang said: "Tomorrow I will go to meet my father-in-law and explain the situation in detail to him, and my father-in-law will understand and not be really annoyed, you can rest assured." ”

Huai Zhen gently admonished: "Although I don't know much about those serious matters, I also know that the third master has always acted in a measured manner, but it's just ...... No matter what you do, and remember not to really make Daddy angry, or else...... I will not follow. ”

Xiao Tang kissed her on the lips and said, "I know very well, just for the sake of my mother, and I will never dare to offend my father-in-law." When Huaizhen heard this, Fang turned his worries into joy.

Turning around, Mrs. Tang called Xiao Tang again, said in private, and said: "You should be more restrained, for the sake of the child, if you have half a bit of nonsense, you must move to the study for a few days, or let Huaizhen sleep with me, and keep it safe." ”

Where was Xiao Tang willing to leave Huaizhen, so he hurriedly comforted Mrs. Tang, and said with a straight face: "Is the son the one who doesn't know the severity?" Even if he doesn't think about the child, he must pay attention to Huaizhen's body, and the mother can rest assured that she can take care of herself. ”

When Mrs. Tang heard these words, she told him a few more words before letting him go with a smile.

The next day, before he left the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Tang caught up with Ying Lanfeng, because he said: "I was going to the house yesterday, but something delayed, so my father-in-law is not strange." ”

Ying Lanfeng nodded and said, "You don't have to be so polite, it's really good?"

Xiao Tang smiled: "She's fine." "Because Mrs. Tang told him, don't let him show off outside for the time being...... Therefore, it was inconvenient to export, so he only said: "I was just thinking about my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I still said that I would go back to visit another day." ”

Ying Lanfeng said that Huaizhen had a smile on her face: "Just tell her to take care of her life, and you don't have to worry about your family." ”

The two of them went out together, and although some of the ministers wanted to come over to talk, they knew that they were talking to each other, and it was inconvenient to disturb them, so they avoided them.

While walking, Xiao Tang said: "How can I faintly hear it recently...... Father-in-law recently ordered an old house in Dongcheng?"

Ying Lanfeng said: "Exactly." I've been thinking about it lately...... Move out of the mansion. ”

Xiao Tang also heard Huaizhen mention it, and he just didn't know about it at this time, looking at Ying Lanfeng's expression, he thought that he couldn't say much, so he only said: "It's good that my father-in-law has his own plans." ”

Ying Lanfeng had already seen his deep groaning, so he smiled and stopped slightly, and said, "But something to say to me?"

When Xiao Tang saw him asking, he also stopped, and said, "In the previous dispute between the military department and the household department, can my father-in-law blame me for not saying anything to help?"

Ying Lanfeng smiled and said, "Where, how can I not know that although you and I are Weng sons-in-law, but above the court, we have our own positions, and it is normal, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Although he was a little understated, Xiao Tang looked at it and said tentatively: "The emperor is actually interested in agreeing with the opinion of the military department, father-in-law ......"

Ying Lanfeng said with a smile: "You are here to remind me? The emperor intends to strengthen coastal defense, which is naturally a good thing, but now that the country is also in ruins, it is necessary to divide this huge financial and material resources on the coastal defense, which has been peaceful for a hundred years...... How many people are available now, and if they want this property to come out, it will fall into what handsreads();. ”

When Xiao Tang heard him say this, his face couldn't help but become a little solemn: "What does father-in-law mean?"

Ying Lanfeng stared at his eyes, and said after a while: "It's okay to sue you." The day before yesterday, someone secretly reported to me that in the middle of last year, he was only a director of the military department, and he spent no more than 350,000 yuan in silver to build a ancestral hall in his hometown, and I dare to ask where he got it from...... Now you want more silver, is it all for the purpose of feeding these silverfish of the country? The tax money taken from the people will not be used by the people, and the levy will be even heavier, and if there are three long and two short, it will arouse the resentment of the people...... I'm afraid that if I can't prevent it, I won't say anything, but I will burn myself!"

Xiao Tang was shocked in his heart, and regardless of his later words, he only asked, "Where did my father-in-law know this?"

Ying Lanfeng said coldly: "Someone has secretly reported me. ”

Xiao Tang twisted his eyebrows and said, "Why doesn't my father-in-law report these things to the emperor?"

Ying Lanfeng took a long breath: "The identity of the person who made the secret report is important, and he doesn't want to reveal his name, but I'm afraid that if he says it, he will have a great deal to do with it, so I just ask someone to secretly search for evidence, just wait for the person's evidence to be complete, and have my own words." If you rashly put forward it at this time, don't say anything, and if you are charged with false accusations again, then I don't know how to end the game. ”

Xiao Tang thought quickly in his heart and said, "Father-in-law, let me say a word rudely...... How about my father-in-law just leave it to me?"

Ying Lanfeng said: "You?" looked at Xiao Tang for a while, nodded and said: "I know your thoughts, now it is the time for the two factions to play a game, I am looking at you in the face of your uncle, and you have always been a reasonable and far-sighted person, so I am willing to tell you these secret things, but if these things break out, it will naturally be unfavorable to you, how do you want to deal with it?"

Xiao Tang saw that he was suspicious, so he bowed his hand and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, if I find out the truth, I will definitely show the emperor and deal with it impartially, but there will be no such acts of hiding dirt and favoritism." ”

Ying Lanfeng looked at him for a long time before sighing again: "I also know that you are not the kind of person who is blindly paranoid, so I will believe you...... What I just said, you just think about it carefully, you want the sailors to grow stronger, it is for the stability of the country, I want to stop this, but for the sake of the people of heaven, don't you hear it, the people are precious, and the society is secondary? If in order to stabilize the society, you first make the people miserable, and only connive at those corrupt officials, which is the best deal?"

After Ying Lanfeng finished speaking, he raised his hand and saluted Xiao Tang, turned around and left.

Xiao Tang watched Ying Lanfeng leave, and after a long while, he sighed a long sigh, and was about to leave the palace, when he suddenly saw a little eunuch looking for him, and stopped him with a smile and said: "It's a shame that Tang Shilang hasn't left yet, the emperor is invited." ”

Don asked, "But what's the matter?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Don't you know? This girl is also in the palace, and the emperor sent a servant to invite the adult to talk." ”

Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that what he was talking about was actually Minli, and said with a smile: "Yes? ”

asked again if the queen passed Minli into the palace to see the driver, the little eunuch replied "yes", and Xiao Tang followed the little eunuch to the harem, and walked and looked, but recognized that it was in the direction of the Xiangtai Hall where the queen lived.

The little eunuch led him to the palace, faintly heard the sound of talking inside, the palace maid reported, and led inside, after the salute, he looked up and saw that in addition to Zhao Yongmu present, there was also Queen Guo Bailu, Princess Qingyan, and Minli reads ();.

Zhao Yongmu said: "Flat, why be polite." "Busy and give a seat.

Xiao Tang sat down, glanced at Minli, and saw that her face was normal, and she didn't have any special joy or annoyance.

At this moment, Yongmu said: "I also learned after I came back, it turned out that the queen invited Sister Minli to come in and talk, who knew that my sister was saying that she was going to go out of the palace and go back to the house, because I thought of you, so I asked them to invite you over, and it would be good for you to accompany her." ”

Xiao Tang said: "Yes." ”

At this moment, Guo Bailu said: "Previously, due to various things, I rarely saw my sister, but now I was called by Lian Huaizhen, who knew that she was not good, but I couldn't see ......"

Xiao Tang glanced at Min Li, Min Li understood, and said to him with a smile: "I told my mother just now, and it's not a big problem, it's just a few more coughs, and I'll go to the palace another day to say goodbye to my mother." ”

Xiao Tang understood, so he also smiled and said, "Please forgive me." ”

Guo Bailu said: "What does Tang Shilang say, this palace has always known that Sister Huaizhen's body is a little weak, but it must be very well maintained." After a few more pleasantries, Min Li got up and said goodbye, and Xiao Tang came out with him.

At this time, Zhao Yongmu also got up and went out, and when Minli saw it, she knew that they had something to say, so she made a salute and took a step outside.

Zhao Yongmu said to Xiao Tang: "Do you know? Qi Yuan went to the book in the morning, saying that he was old and frail, and he was sick, and he wanted to return to his hometown." ”

Because Qi Yuan has always been very good with Xiao Tang, he gave Xiao Tang a breath more than ten days ago.

Qi Yuan is an old man, his heart is like a mirror, since Xiao Tang entered the Ministry of Rites, gradually all affairs have fallen on Xiao Tang, but he is idle, and the Ministry of Rites has gradually become very popular, so Qi Yuan has also made a good name.

Qi Yuan also knew that if he retired, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites would naturally be Xiao Tang's...... Recently, I saw Xiao Tang's cooking more and more colorful, and he returned safely from Silla, which happened to be a good time for him to retreat bravely to inherit the holy will, so before he went to the book, he had already told Xiao Tang this intention, which can be regarded as seeing the friendship between the two.

When Xiao Tang heard this, he only smiled and said, "Yes, I faintly heard what Master Qi said...... I don't know what the emperor means?"

Zhao Yongmu said with a smile: "That old fox, I have been grinding you for two years, and he has fallen into a leisurely position, so it is safe to go this time, I came to ask you what you mean." - Actually, you should have risen a long time ago, and you know. ”

Xiao Tang said: "Whether you are promoted or not, it's just a false name, and there are still so many things to do horizontally and vertically, not to mention that for the family, it's not good for me to be promoted." ”

Zhao Yongmu understood the reason for this very well, and only smiled: "I know that you have worked hard. How about I live up to it? Big deal...... In the future, when you are not summoned to go to all kinds of envoys, you should also be more careful, and you will be more able to teach/teach a few who are able to use it, but if there are those messengers who have traveled far away, only let them go, and everyone will be relieved. ”

Xiao Tang just smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion." ”

Zhao Yongmu smiled in his eyes and said: "In this case, it is decided, and I will wear the fold of Qi Yuan's farewell to his hometown tomorrow...... In the future, I will have to rely on the new Lord Shangshu, and then run the Ministry of Rites for me. ”

Xiao Tang couldn't help but laugh twice, and because he saw that Minli was gone, he asked again: "How is the queen mother...... Suddenly remembered to call Minli to come in and talk?"
