Walking alone across the small bridge, around the stream, through the rockery and flowers, Xin Muyuan suddenly understood why the snake queen had stopped moving so far away.

Today's imperial study room is particularly lively, the civil ministers and military generals are all gathered outside the door, and the small tables are set one after another, noisily discussing things.

Some people quarreled because of disagreements, and fishy spittle flew all over the sky. The two generals are even more direct, without saying a word, who wins will listen to whom.

Xin Muyuan stood behind the white jade fence, stunned by the scene in front of him.

At this time, the military generals who were arguing endlessly also noticed Xin Muyuan, who was thin, and his words stopped abruptly, and his eyes were all focused on Xin Muyuan's body.

The air was so quiet that even the insects forgot to chirp.

The Protector was the first to react, his voice was calm, and he asked, "Zhan'er invited you over?" ”

Someone spoke, and the others reacted one after another, and the air was noisy and boiling again. It's just that this time the object of their argument was changed to Xin Muyuan.

"Even the emperor needs to negotiate with us before he can decide to invite outsiders to discuss such a serious matter, and the prince of the protector has the right to step into the palace beyond the emperor and our invitation to irrelevant businessmen, which is really amazing."

"Inviting businessmen into the palace to discuss the Spring Banquet, hehe, I've never heard of it."

"When is the threshold of the palace so easy to enter, all businessmen dare to step on it."

Xin Muyuan just stood here, and before he said anything, he was already covered with white eyes and cold words.

After the person who reported it entered, he hurriedly came out and said in a loud voice: "Boss Xin, Your Majesty is invited." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"How could Your Majesty invite this merchant?"

"It must be the prince of the protector who is bewitching him!"

While the Duke of Protector was shocked, he suddenly heard that these people had moved the topic to his son again, and his expression was displeased, and he said: "You can hear it clearly, it is the emperor who invited Xin Muyuan in, what does it have to do with my son?" ”

It's good that the protector didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the muzzles of these people immediately changed.

"Hehe, then who knows? Your son, as a courtier, ran into the palace twice in three days, and he didn't know what he was going to do. ”

"Yes, I heard that some time ago, the prince was still stuck in Panlongju. Hehe, that's where the emperor lives, Lord Protector, how dare your son? ”

"From the ordinary small details, it can be seen that the prince is disrespectful and doesn't care about His Majesty, what else can he care about in this big matter? I see, it is clear that the prince made his own decision to invite Xin Muyuan to the palace, and His Majesty didn't want to refute the prince's face, so he agreed to see her! ”

"Hey, these people just have to make inches, they have already given him good things, but they are not satisfied, and they have to covet it step by step."

There was a lot of noise outside because of this incident, but inside it was as calm as water.

Xie Zhan and Xiao Changting set up a game of chess, and the two of them quarreled with each other holding a teacup because of a wrong move.

Xin Muyuan went to the tea stove to order hot tea for himself, sat cross-legged on the futon at the bevel with the tea cup, and asked, "What are those people doing outside?" ”

"Hey," Xiao Changting couldn't help but have a headache when he mentioned this matter, and said, "They are discussing the matter of the spring banquet." There are only 21 days left until March 25, and they have no exact plan, and they are complaining to each other. ”

Xin Muyuan was puzzled and asked, "Isn't there a spring banquet every year?" Need to make a plan? ”

Xiao Changting glanced at her, dropped the white chess without hurry, and said, "They think so too." ”

Xin Muyuan: "......" She is a layman who thinks so normally, she has experienced it outside, how can she be as confused as her?

Xie Zhan surrounded Xiao Changting, looked at his raised eyebrows and smiled, and said, "In the past, there was a special person in charge of the spring banquet, and it was normal for them not to know. ”

Xiao Changting answered: "It's a pity that the officials who were in charge of these things before were dragged to the first emperor's funeral." If it weren't for those old antiques who spoke, I'm afraid this spring banquet would be a mess. ”

"It's not so miserable, you and Shizi have participated in the spring banquet for more than ten years, and I probably still remember the process." Xin Muyuan comforted.

Xiao Changting disagreed, and said: "But if you are sloppy, the details are still a mess of sand." It should be sorted out or reorganized, this is one of the important festivals of the Daliang Dynasty, and it must not be sloppy. ”

There is no need to explain these things in detail, Xiao Changting picked the key point and asked: "When discussing the sacrifice to the heavens today, Brother Zhan suggested that I take people to experience the life of inferior people for a day, what do you think?" ”

When he asked, he stared at Xin Muyuan, and his flat eyes saw that Xin Muyuan's heart was weak, and he laughed awkwardly twice, and said, "What do you think?" How do I know? But since it was proposed by the prince, it was a very good decision. ”

"Heh," Xiao Changting laughed, short and emotionless, "The suggestion you put forward is of course good." ”

"Huh?"

Xin Muyuan and Xie Zhan looked at Xiao Changting in unison.

Xiao Changting's gaze swept over the slightly shocked expressions of the two of them, and said expressionlessly, "Are you two teasing me as a fool?" As soon as the front foot finished borrowing someone from me, the back foot proposed to let me experience the life of an inferior person? It's very tightly arranged! ”

Xin Muyuan smiled, his crescent-like eyes were shining, which made people angry: "It is worthy of Your Majesty, you can guess so many things with a little content, admiration, really admiration!" Thanks to the two of us, we thought that the plan was tightly knit, and there was absolutely no flaw in it. ”

Xin Muyuan stared at Xie Zhan, pointed at Xiao Changting falsely, and said, "Either the person is the emperor, and the head is smart and flexible." We want to play tricks in front of him, it's just wishful thinking! Yes, awesome. ”

Xiao Changting's face was slightly gloomy.

I don't know why, it was obviously a compliment, but he was uncomfortable listening to it, and he always felt that there was something in Xin Muyuan's words, and secretly scolded him in the name of praising him.

Xin Muyuan didn't notice Xiao Changting's abnormality, and after praising him, he proposed seriously: "But Your Majesty, this suggestion put forward by the prince can indeed be seriously considered." ”

Xiao Changting pushed away the chessboard that had stepped into a dead game and looked at her: "Reason." ”

Xin Muyuan moved, changed to a comfortable sitting position, folded his fingers and settled with him little by little, and said: "Look, first, these farmers and merchants are both people, your people, we can't treat them differently, right?" For three years in a row, he went to the field to do farm work, and raised the status of farmers again and again, so that even lazy farmers could look down on diligent businessmen! Isn't this against the original intention of the first emperor? ”
