Lord Zhao is the prince's foreign family, thinking that when the queen was favored by the emperor alone, the Zhao family was also at its peak, and no one dared to offend in the capital.

Even if it is past that prosperity now, the Zhao family has already succeeded in gaining fame and fortune with the help of the Empress Yuan, and after the foundation, even the emperor can't say that he can move.

After getting the Prime Minister's orders, the subordinates immediately began to prepare, and after a while, they took out a lot of rare and exotic treasures from the treasury, especially the deep-sea coral, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

When the prime minister saw that they had moved this thing out, he was both painful and angry, and yelled, "Is this treasure suitable for giving it out at this time?" Send it back and hide it well! ”

The subordinates trembled, and said in their hearts that you didn't say anything, just let them prepare a heavy salute, and they shouldn't be blamed for this misunderstanding, right?

"Go, send this South China Sea Black Pearl over, it's for the old lady of the Zhao family. This, the strange stone inkstone of Yunshan, will be given to Lord Zhao. Remember! Be sure to respectfully invite people to the house, and don't be blinded! ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, sir."

The Zhao Mansion is magnificent, how can it be compared to the Prime Minister's Mansion, no wonder the master wants to give such a heavy gift, just to invite someone to the mansion to talk.

Twisting through the corridor, the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw the outline of the house, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, good guy, it's really extravagant, the golden silk nanmu is used to decorate the doors and windows, and the footstools in the small pavilion are carved from white jade.

"Hey, go this way~"

"Okay." The prime minister's subordinates agreed repeatedly, but their eyes couldn't move away from those ornaments.

"My lord is not in this courtyard, I went to the old lady just now, let's wait a while."

When the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion heard that Lord Zhao had gone to the old lady, they were overjoyed and said, "Hey, no need, no need to wait, the prime minister just brought a small thing to the old lady, can you bother the girl to show us the way?" ”

The girl stared and thought for a moment, then responded, "Come with me, but you can't go in until the old lady agrees, otherwise it's just a trip for nothing, but you can still go?" ”

"Go, go, where can we run for nothing, we are fortunate to see so many scenery in the house, it is time to burn high incense."

"Let's go, then."

As soon as Lord Zhao sat down, he heard the report from his subordinates that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion had come to invite, and he couldn't help but look at the old lady Zhao who was sitting on the head, and said respectfully, "Mother? ”

It was an old man whose face was still not old, and he looked harmless, but he was a little serious, and at first glance he was a strong woman who was all the rage when he was young.

Mrs. Zhao supported her head with one hand, half sitting and half leaning on the soft couch, the big girl next to her served carefully, the dragon was still burning in the house at this time, but the window was ventilated with wind, and the two little girls were blocking the wind on the side to ensure that the room was ventilated and warm, which was really a luxury.

"What is the Prime Minister looking for you?"

Lord Zhao was lowering his head and carefully sipping tea, when a majestic and slow voice sounded, and he immediately became solemn, "The child doesn't know, but it should be the prince's business." ”

Speaking of the crown prince, the old lady Zhao chuckled, obviously valuing this grandson very much, but the words she said were still solemn and serious, "What's wrong with the prince lately?" I didn't see him come over to greet the old woman. ”

"Mother, the crown prince has been studying hard in the palace recently, and the emperor values him very much, so he has no leisure time, and I ask my mother not to worry."

"Okay, let the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion come in, it's strange and cold outside, I'll also listen by the way, the Prime Minister has something to do with you to go over!"

Lord Zhao sighed in his heart, forgetting this stubble, the old lady has always valued face, but today she ignored this stubble, but forget it, I think the next person should not know the prime minister's intentions.

The servant girl responded softly, "Yes~", turned around and went outside, "Send someone in!" ”

"Okay, well, I'm tired of the girl." Anyway, it was sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was not as stupid as it seemed, so he saluted Mrs. Zhao in a proper manner, and bowed to Lord Zhao again, and then smiled and held the gift.

"Old lady An, didn't my prime minister accidentally get hurt, I have something to find Lord Zhao, so I sent me to invite, by the way, bring a small gift to the old lady, I hope the old lady likes it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and respectfully asked the maid beside Mrs. Zhao to take it away.

"Yo, it's still a rare thing, this Hei Nanzhu is not good, this gift~"

As soon as he heard this, this person immediately understood what was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and asked Mrs. Zhao to accept it, but don't be embarrassed for him, turned his head and smiled at Lord Zhao again: "My lord, the prime minister is in a hurry, don't delay your efforts, please give me a face, and go to the house to talk?" ”

"Okay, I'm tired too, you can go."

"Mother, son retreats."

A few people came out, and the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly put a box on the ground, "My lord, my lord heard that you are an elegant person who dances and writes, and a small gift is not a tribute." ”

Lord Zhao glanced at him and asked the person behind him to collect his things, "Since the prime minister is in a hurry, let's go over quickly, don't delay." ”

"Well, the sedan chair is waiting outside the door, and we'll send you back to the house when we're done."

After a while, people arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was a table of wine and food in the middle hall, but there was a soft couch next to it.

Lord Zhao didn't dare to tell Mrs. Zhao what happened in the court, but he himself knew why the prime minister had to go to great lengths to invite him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was not hidden, and he made fun of the prime minister when he entered the door.

"I don't know what the prime minister is going to do today? Are you feeling better? ”

Although it was said that it was for the prince to be beaten, the old face was still a little unbearable, so he hurriedly got down to business, lest the surnamed Zhao get an inch in again.

"Lord Zhao can still laugh! This minister asks you a word, do you know about the Beijing Red Music Place? ”

As soon as the three words of Hongle Fang came out, Lord Zhao immediately became serious, "The prime minister doesn't know about this?" Ah, that's right, it's no wonder, the prince was obsessed with this place at the beginning, and I taught him a lesson, and I think he didn't dare to publicize it everywhere later. ”

The prime minister didn't feel displeased at this time, but breathed a sigh of relief, since the surname Zhao knew about it, it means that the problem is not big, and if there is a problem, this old thing must also find a way to solve it.

"Why, the prime minister took the trouble to invite me here for this? Hahaha, then you are a loss, and you don't want to come back if you send out the gift! ”

The prime minister smiled bitterly, it was too late to regret it, so he could only pretend to be free and easy, "What did Lord Zhao say, since there is nothing to do, the prime minister is also relieved, it is not easy to come once, sit down and drink two glasses with me." ”

In the officialdom, these comings and goings are all sophisticated, Lord Zhao sat down happily, waiting for the prime minister to get the news worthy of the gift from him.

"Brother Zhao, I heard that the old lady asked for a girl from your Zhao family's side branch to raise, tell me, what is the situation now?"
