61.Chapter 61
Shen Ning's wish to go to the night market was not fulfilled in the end, and after a few days, the emperor's decree came down, deeply pleased with the recovery of his body, and restored his official position, the position of prime minister above ten thousand people under one person.
When the holy decree came down, the leisurely days came to an end, often Shen Ning got up early in the morning, and the people around him disappeared.
Aren't you really tired of heading towards something this morning?
Shen Ning seems to understand the emperor a little, no wonder most of the emperors died so early, got up so early every day, and had to correct a lot of twists and turns, so they had to deal with the group of wolf-like people in the harem, no wonder they weren't tired! Moreover, now there are not all kinds of leisure measures like in modern times, and the emperor has to worry infinitely about his own safety wherever he goes, and his body is tired, and his heart is even more tired.
Compared with the emperor, in fact, the officials are not much better, first, you must always pay attention to the thoughts of the people above, carefully ponder every word of the people above, and take care of the feelings of the people above, and occasionally have to beware of whether other ministers will stab themselves in the back.
In short, no matter who it is, it is not easy, and their power is not so easy to say.
On Tang Yanxiu's first day in the court, in addition to the emperor's words of encouragement, he also brought back a lot of rewards, just the pair of jadeite carved boys, Shen Ning's jaw was shocked, not only that, the accompanying eunuch also took out a list.
"Zhengjun, this is a little bit of the queen's heart, and the queen also said that if Zhengjun is free, you might as well go to the palace to see him, and it's also great to chat."
Shen Ning took the list, and wondered a little in his heart, how could this queen think of letting him enter the palace? Thinking in his heart, he glanced up at the eunuch, and happened to see the unwillingness on his face.
Thinking of the plot he had watched on the TV series, and then thinking about his current "identity", Shen Ning somewhat understood why this person was unwilling.
In the final analysis, he is just a country brother who took advantage of the prime minister's "difficulty", so he picked up a leak, since he is a country brother, he must not understand anything, and he has been rewarded by the emperor and the queen, maybe he will be scared stupid, and how can he understand those "private things", and the person who gives the reward will naturally not get any benefits.
However, Shen Ning is not one of those "country brothers" who doesn't know anything, he is deeply influenced by historical dramas, and he has the idea that money can make ghosts grind, and he can see the other party's dissatisfaction at a glance.
"It's really troublesome father-in-law!" Shen Ning took out a small bag from his sleeve and handed it over, "I'll take this little thing to my father-in-law to add a dish, and my father-in-law also knows that it's my first time in the capital, and I don't know anything, and if it's not right, I have to trouble my father-in-law to mention it." ”
"Where." The father-in-law's expression changed, and he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this Shen Ning to be so "interesting", thinking about the fact that there are many capable people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, someone should have taught him.
"The old slave is just doing his duty." Father-in-law Yu accepted Shen Ning's bribe without hesitation, but since he accepted it, he would not accept it in vain.
"Zhengjun remember to visit Junhou tomorrow, it's just ordinary words, Zhengjun doesn't have to worry."
"So, thank you, father-in-law."
Waiting for the people to leave, Shen Ning put away the smile on his face, although he said that it was not a big deal for the queen to find him, and it was estimated that he wanted to figure him out to win over Tang Yanxiu, the prime minister, but he still couldn't help but sigh.
The people in this palace turned out to be not only thoughtful, but also had very dark hands!
Anyway, since the other party had already conveyed the intention of letting him enter the palace, he would definitely go there, so when Tang Yanxiu came back, he told him about it.
"The Queen?" Tang Yanxiu thought about it for a while, and only remembered that the other party was the brother of General Zhenxi, which was rare and neat, but he didn't know what would happen to him now, but nothing should happen.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Shen Ning moved his body, although he would not be uncomfortable anymore, but this stomach was really slow and difficult to do, and the only thing he could do now seemed to be to sit and grow meat.
"What, isn't it comfortable?"
Tang Yanxiu stretched out his hand to rub his waist, he always knew that it would be very hard for his brother to be pregnant, but now looking at Shen Ning, he felt even more distressed, but he couldn't stay by his side recently.
"It's no wonder it's so comfortable!" Shen Ning leaned back in the chair, his feet straightened, and his stomach was exposed, and a distinct bulge could be seen.
"So, are you a little more comfortable?" Tang Yanxiu's strength increased slightly, and Shen Ning snorted, indicating that he was comfortable.
It's really -- getting more and more tsundere, like a cat.
Speaking of cats, Tang Yanxiu remembered the tiger.
"What about the tiger? Is it in space all the time? ”
"Well, if you put it outside, it will probably be used as prey, anyway, there is food in the space, and it is big enough." But having said that, Shen Ning was still a little worried that the guy would be bored if he stayed in the space all the time.
But there's no way to be bored, it's impossible to put it out now, so let's wait for a chance in the future.
The next day, Tang Yanxiu went to the court, and Shen Ning asked someone to help him get it, at least it looked like it, and then got into the carriage and went to the palace.
The dynasty where Shen Ning is located, called the Great Dynasty, is a place where there are only men and no women, but relatively, there is a creature called Ge'er that replaces women, but these Ge'er are stronger than women, except that their strength is not as strong as that of men, they are not as strong as them, and they will give birth to children, and there is not much gap between them and men in other aspects, so although there are also poor people here, ordinary people can basically have food and clothing, but relatively, the pregnancy rate of Ge'er is very low.
This is also the reason why as long as people with a little money and status will take several brothers, and the brothers will be married by the official when they reach a certain age, on the other hand, the man does not have this rule, as long as he does not want to marry, it doesn't matter if he doesn't marry in his life.
And this queen has never had a child so far.
Therefore, Shen Ning came to the palace where the queen lived, until he saw the concubines and servants, and after sitting down, he endured the gazes of these people looking at his stomach.
was surrounded by a group of men, and then you and I discussed the matter of the stomach one by one, and sighed that Shen Ning was so blessed, and even the hands of two people almost touched Shen Ning's stomach.
The goosebumps all over Shen Ning's body rose, his hairs stood on end, and the embarrassment came out, fortunately the queen came out at this time, otherwise Shen Ning didn't know if he could hold back.
"Meet the Queen."
"No courtesy."
Shen Ning saw the ancient face-changing function for the first time, even if these people were "men", it was obvious that he was still moving like a rabbit one moment, and the next second he was as dignified and polite as a virgin, he originally thought that the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth, but at this moment, he was a little nervous.
Got up and sat down, and as expected, the queen above quickly turned the topic to him.
"Prime Minister Zhengjun is here?" The queen's voice sounded very gentle, not at all like the majestic person just now.
"Your Majesty is here." Shen Ning was a little lucky, fortunately, there was no need to talk about concubines, concubines or something, otherwise it would be really difficult to adapt.
"I heard that Zhengjun is pregnant, so these gifts will be waived." The queen asked Shen Ning to sit down, and Shen Ning accepted it very simply, now he relies on Tang Yanxiu, plus he is originally a "country brother who doesn't know anything", although he may know something, but it seems that it is not normal to know too much.
"Thank you, Queen."
Shen Ning sat down, and the other waiters and concubines looked at him a little differently, and Zhengjun's gaze on him looked different, because they had heard before that the emperor seemed to intend to let His Royal Highness the Seventh marry the prime minister, even if there was an extra country brother who didn't know where he came from, but they didn't think it would change anything.
Is there anyone who would rather have a country brother than a royal highness?
So now, what is the attitude of the queen? Although it is rumored that Tang Cheng is very protective of this Zhengjun, there is no need for this, right?
"Is Zhengjun still used to living in the capital?"
The corners of Shen Ning's mouth twitched, why did everyone ask him this question, is it that the life of outsiders in the capital is extremely difficult?
"Thank you for your concern, if you don't mind, just call me A-Ning, the medicinal materials sent by the queen last time are particularly useful." Shen Ning's face showed a little shame, although this queen has no children, but I heard that she likes children very much!
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ning said this, the other party immediately glanced at his belly, and the slight bulge was obvious no matter how you looked at it.
However, some people don't like it so much, most of these people are harems who are not favored by the emperor and cannot conceive children.
"I heard that A-Ning is pregnant, how many months?"
Shen Ning looked up, this queen didn't look as good as the prince he saw before, maybe because his father was a general, and he had also trained in the military camp with his father since he was a child, with a hint of fortitude on his face.
"More than four months." Shen Ning didn't know whether to be happy or sigh, he had an inexplicable child, and he still didn't believe it until now.
"Then when the child is born, can you bring it over for me to see?"
"Naturally, after receiving so much support from the queen, I should thank the queen."
The two talked a lot about the topic of children, and even talked about how to take care of children, and Shen Ning knew how much this queen liked children.
Looking at his expression when he talked about the child, Shen Ning had an idea, but since he didn't know much about the other party, he planned to go back and ask Tang Yanxiu.
Half an hour passed after this chat, and just when Shen Ning was thinking about whether to say goodbye and go back, someone from outside came to report.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh has arrived."
Your Highness the Seven?
