Emperor Meng Zhao's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the room a little strange, and the sudden change of attitude couldn't help but make people sigh that the holy will was unpredictable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, the Ning clan was calm and did not rush to say anything for Meng Lang, but silently paid attention and let the emperor deal with it on his own.
"What my father said is extremely true, as the prince of Nanmeng, Erchen has always been ready to shoulder his due responsibility for the prosperity of Nanmeng since he was born!"
Although Meng Lang also felt that Emperor Meng Zhao's attitude was a little strange, he did not panic at all, and replied sincerely and steadily: "Although the son is not talented, no matter what the father and the emperor and this country need the son and the minister, the son must do his best and do not give up!" ā
At this moment, Meng Lang's gentleman is like jade, but he is full of iron bones, and he is really extraordinary, giving people the feeling of standing up to the sky.
Emperor Meng Zhao had to secretly sigh in his heart, among the many princes, only Meng Lang was the most in line with his heart in all aspects, which made him extremely pleased.
In particular, this calmness, as well as the atmosphere of not being surprised, can be called curvature.
"Well said, husband, as it should be! This is my emperor, this is what my prince of Nanmeng should look like! ā
After a while, Emperor Meng Zhao clapped his hands and affirmed loudly, no longer being as stern as before.
He was full of pride, looking at Meng Lang at this time, as if he saw himself as a teenager: "Lang'er, since you are ready to assume the responsibilities of being a prince, then from tomorrow, you will go to the court with hundreds of civil and military officials to participate in political affairs, use your talents and learning to contribute to the country, and share the worries of your father and emperor!" ā
The turning point came quickly, but in fact it was inevitable.
From the water control incident to the Hong Changli case, Meng Lang's ability and political views made Emperor Meng Zhao have long planned this.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not very good, right?"
But at this moment, Ning Guifei raised an objection in a timely manner, and was no longer silent as before.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Emperor Meng Zhao smiled at the Ning clan and said, "Do you still doubt your emperor's ability?" ā
"That's not it, the concubine just thinks that Lang'er has just turned sixteen, and according to the rules of our Nanmeng royal family, the prince's participation in politics and politics is generally two years late."
Ning Guifei said very tactfully: "The concubine is worried that letting Lang'er participate in politics so early will have any bad effects, and it will be easy for the emperor to be criticized. ā
"Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry, the rules and everything have to vary from person to person, and it is not without such exceptions in our Nanmeng for so many generations."
Emperor Meng Zhao waved his hand and signaled Ning Guifei to rest assured: "I know very well in my heart that if Lang'er's talent is not honed and displayed earlier, it will be a waste of talent." If anyone is not convinced, just let him come to me, but if there are other princes in this palace who can be like Lang'er, I will also give him a similar opportunity! ā
"This ......"
After listening to this, Ning Shi still seemed to be a little entangled.
Meng Lang, who was on the side, immediately spoke: "Mother concubine, please rest assured, the son will never live up to his father's trust in the son, he must be humble and studious, hone his body, and strive to learn more skills to contribute to the country and share his father's worries!" ā
"Good!" Emperor Meng Zhao nodded again and again, appreciating with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Ning Shi didn't want to persuade anymore, but smiled and showed encouragement.
She was very happy in her heart, as Ah Xia expected, this is the best gift for Lang'er's birthday this year!
Originally, she just had the mentality of trying it out with success or failure, but the girl really did it, and even the time was so coincidental, it seems that she still underestimated this girl's ability.
The matter was decided, and soon Emperor Meng Zhao directly asked Liu Lida to pass on the oracle throughout the palace, so that Meng Lang could be justified, and it could be regarded as adding a little joy to this birthday.
After getting these done, several people chatted about family life with laughter and continued to wait for Meng Xia's longevity.
"What the hell is this girl, why hasn't she been good for so long?" Emperor Meng Zhao looked towards the door, but there was still no shadow.
Ning Guifei said with a smile: "This is the first time I did it, I guess I was in a hurry, not so fast." ā
As she spoke, she instructed the grandmother beside her to go over to see the situation, and told her to be careful not to let the ninth princess get burned or hurt anywhere.
"Lang'er, apart from you in the study here, who does your Nine Emperor Sister have a better relationship with on weekdays?"
There was nothing left and right, Emperor Meng Zhao asked Meng Lang casually.
When Meng Lang heard this, he didn't think much about it, and replied: "When my father asked like this, Erchen really didn't think it was easy to say. When Ah Xia first entered the study, everyone was not used to it, so most of them kept their distance from her. But now in the past few months, whether it is us royal brothers or others, we have gotten along well with her, but there is nothing particularly good or bad. ā
"Father is not asking about this, father is asking who is closer to her on weekdays?"
Emperor Meng Zhao saw that Meng Lang really didn't understand what he meant, so he re-explained: "Or, who is she better to be better to in private, and who is better to her?" ā
"Father, the more you talk about this, the more your sons don't know how to answer."
Meng Lang smiled a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, Erchen really hasn't paid attention to these things on weekdays, you suddenly asked about this, could it be that something happened to Axia?" ā
"You, you are very smart in everything you read and do, but you haven't learned anything about this aspect yet!"
Seeing this, the Ning family on the side couldn't help laughing, and said to Meng Lang on behalf of Emperor Meng Zhao: "Your Ninth Emperor Sister has great blessings, and the emperor is personally paying attention to the marriage for this girl." ā
"Your Majesty, is the concubine right?" Turning his head sideways, Ning asked Emperor Meng Zhao with joy.
"Those who know me still love the concubine!" Emperor Meng Zhao did not deny it, and laughed at the same time.
Hearing this, Meng Lang's heart sank, and he was really surprised.
"Father, Ah Xia is only thirteen, is it too early to think about marriage now?"
Although he had already had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, Meng Lang didn't show any of it, but just asked in confusion as if he was talking about things.
"It's early, it's early, it's not early, it's not early, this girl is already thirteen years old, and she has to say fourteen. Of course, I must be reluctant to let her marry out of the palace too early, but there are some things that don't hurt to be noticed earlier. ā
When Emperor Meng Zhao mentioned this, his expression really showed love: "To be honest, I think it's not so easy to find a concubine worthy of our Axia, don't blame your father for favoring this girl, after all, the marriage of your daughter's family is different from yours." ā
"It is really a great blessing for Ah Xia to be so loved by the emperor!" Ning straightened up and saluted Emperor Meng Zhao: "The concubine thanked the emperor Longen on behalf of that child!" ā
The marriage match in the palace belongs to the queen, especially the princess's marriage has always been directly decided by the queen, and the emperor can personally interrogate and calculate, which is enough to show that Emperor Meng Zhao attaches great importance to Meng Xia now.
"Is the concubine thanking Asha for this?" At this moment, Meng Xia finally came in with a smile on his face with the boiled longevity noodles, and asked curiously as he walked. (To be continued.) )
