Chapter 178: Spreading the Leaves for the Crown

Rongwang's Mansion

"What, I'm going to the morning court today?" Nangong Li looked at Yan Rong and was already dressed and about to set off.

"I can't stay at home all the time, there will definitely be no less things in the court today, I'll go and see, besides, Song Lian hasn't been to the court for so long, I'm afraid someone will target him." Yan Rong said.

"After all, is it for Song Lian?" Nangong Li said sourly.

"What are you talking about, you can't see that Song Lian is interested in my family's Bai Ling?" Yan Rong said deliberately.

"I really didn't see it, I just felt that Song Lian was dangerous to me, and I had to pay attention to my daughter-in-law being snatched away by him all the time." Nangong Li turned over and said.

"What do you think, my face is not enough to make other men crazy for me, who wants me except you?" Yan Rong patted Nangong Li's back and said.

"You are really self-aware, and you also know that this king has lost a lot by marrying you." Nangong Li said.

"If I get you an official position, will you not be blind all day?" Yan Rong asked amusedly.

"I need you to help me, if I really want to go to the government and the opposition, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear me." Nangong Li said.

"Yes, my husband is the most powerful, husband, wait for me to come back and eat." Yan Rong kissed the corner of Nangong Li's eyes and then got up and left.

Seeing this, Nangong Li didn't lie on the bed, and went down directly to find Chu Luo.

"Lord Wang, you remembered that I exist in this chess room." Chu Meng said as he sorted out the chess pieces.

"You're idle, isn't it good to pass the time here?" Nangong Li took a sip of tea and said.

"I thought that the prince transferred me here, there was something to do to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but I didn't expect that it was just eating tea and playing chess, so uncomfortable." Chu Meng said with a smile.

"Isn't there something going on for you?" Nangong Li said with a smile.

"The prince commands." Chu Meng said.

Court

"Today, the envoys from Mengyang Kingdom have gradually improved, I think that Mengyang Kingdom came to our Daqi, it is for guests, although we are sick, but we can't take care of them, it is better to treat them tomorrow is almost better, hold a palace banquet, one is to express our Daqi's hospitality, and the other is not to let other countries look down on us." The emperor said.

"What the emperor said is that this Mengyang Kingdom has more or less had some business with Daqi, so naturally we can't treat them badly." Su Qi said.

"That's right, King Cheng came in a hurry this time, I haven't done a good job for you, there are too many things in the capital recently, it just so happens that we coincide with the Mengyang State envoy Daqi, Song Lian returned to Beijing successfully, King Cheng's birthday is imminent, the three happy events will be done together, and the recent capital will be happy." The emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Ji and Song Lian thanked each other with brushes.

"Father, who will handle this palace banquet?" Nangong Yu asked.

"This King Cheng is not an outsider, and Song Lian is also my Aiqing, so you don't have to worry about it, but this envoy of Mengyang State, at that time, I asked you and Rong Zhi to do it, but if you want to protect their safety, it is better to leave it to Yan Rong, the three of you work together, and I will hand it over to you." The emperor said.

"Yes, the ministers will live up to the emperor's expectations." Yan Rong stepped forward to receive the order.

"Looking at this General Yan is really in his prime, he has only been resting at home for a few days, and he has come to the morning court non-stop, which really makes those juniors admire." Liu Duhu said with a cold face.

"Liu Duhu, General Yan didn't make any mistakes, why can't he come, but above this court, it is a place to discuss the affairs of national dignitaries, how can you let idlers chew the root of their tongues?" Nangong Yu retorted.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects the general like this, why didn't he do this in the first place, and let General Yan go to prison." Liu Duhu continued.

"Bold, who gave you the courage to say this in front of the emperor, General Yan was just wronged and imprisoned, not because of the treacherous villain's style, the emperor also gave the general innocence, why did Liu Duhu do so unforgiving?" Rong Zhi saw that the emperor was about to have a seizure, and scolded angrily in advance.

"Rong Zhi is right, I see that you are getting older and more confused, if you don't want to work in the court, I have young talents to replace you." The emperor said.

"It's the minister's nonsense, and the minister knows his mistakes." Liu Du stopped talking.

"Okay, the past, let him pass, what I want is the prosperity and peace of the future of Daqi, but now the small border countries have been quarrelling, and now the envoys of Mengyang State live in the palace, what we have to do is to try our best to win over, if there is a war at that time, we still have a foil." The emperor glanced at his face and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Rong replied expressionlessly.

"Yan Rong, you must prepare people and horses these days to protect their safety, as well as the order of the capital, I am afraid that the capital has not been peaceful recently, and there may be more than this group of people who follow the envoys of Mengyang Kingdom into Beijing, so it is better to pay attention." The emperor said to Yan Rong.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will pay attention." Yan Rong said.

"If you have nothing to do, you can retreat." Nangong Qian waved his hand and said.

The Hall of Inheritance

"It's been a long time since I've talked to the two of you like this, Yan Rong and Yu'er often went down to drink tea and eat snacks here, and when things were busy, they delayed it." Nangong Cheng sat on the seat and said to Yan Rong and Nangong Yu,

"My father works hard all day, and my sons are incompetent if they can't help." Nangong Yu said.

"You are the crown prince, I pin all my hopes on you, and I understand your hard work." Nangong Cheng said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know, what kind of illness did this envoy make?" Yan Rong asked.

"I called you here to talk about things other than the government, and I won't mention state affairs first." Nangong Ling's face changed and said.

"Father, the son hasn't congratulated his father yet." Nangong Yu said suddenly.

"I haven't had children for several years, and now I'm old, and I still have some expectations." Nangong Ling smiled and said.

"Congratulations to the emperor, I don't know which lady is happy?" Yan Rong asked.

"It's a concubine." Nangong Yu said.

"It's good that there is a little prince or princess in the palace again." Yan Rong said.

"I still remember what Yu'er looked like when she was born, it was my first child, and now she has grown so big, for many years, when you and your father went to the palace for a banquet, you didn't want all the things I prepared for you, and held Yu'er's hand tightly, it's really interesting to think about it now." Nangong Cheng said.

"It's all a little bit of a thing, and it's different now." Yan Rong said.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Li and Xiao Rong have also been married for more than half a year, the princes have all been married, and the father and emperor now have a prince again, thinking that the concubine is pregnant, the queen should not be far away." Nangong Yu said.

"Yan Rong, you and Li Er have been married for a long time, why aren't you going to add a grandson to me?" Nangong Cheng asked.

"Your Majesty, this, what the minister said doesn't count." Yan Rong blushed, why did he just talk about it.

"Yu'er too, the other brothers have their own children, said that the crown princess hurt her body last time, but she can be adjusted anyway, you are the prince, you need to spread the branches for the royal family, this is your duty." Nangong Cheng said again.

"Yes, Father."
