Liu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: How do I know this!

However, it was the emperor who asked the question, and of course he could not and did not dare to answer like this.

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Ji hesitated: "Perhaps, it has something to do with the British government." ”

For example, Zhang Lan, whose eyes can't be glued to Huang Yi'an.

However, this matter is related to Huang Yi'an's reputation, even if the person who asked is the emperor, he can't speculate and answer.

Qi Yu listened and glanced at Liu Ji.

Isn't this nonsense?

The little girl clearly told the palace that she learned from Zhang Xi, can it not be related to the British government?

After thinking about it again, even if Wuzhangfeng is famous, he is just a businessman in the end, and he is not enough to see in front of the British Mansion, which was the founding hero, so it is reasonable for Liu Ji not to know.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for any useful information from Liu Ji, Qi Yu also stopped thinking and said, "I heard that Miss Huang made a move, and the price was above one hundred taels. That being the case, Feng Lin, you can take two hundred taels of silver tickets. ”

Liu Ji hurriedly bowed down and said, "Miss Huang is specially invited by the villain, and the remuneration will naturally be paid by the villain." How dare you bother Your Majesty? ”

"I am rich all over the world, and I will not be greedy for your advantage for these two hundred taels of silver." Qi Yu refused nobly and coldly.

He asked someone to paint, and the money naturally had to come out of him.

Feng Lin had already taken two silver tickets of one hundred taels and handed them to Liu Ji with a smile.

Liu Ji didn't dare not accept it, so he had to bow down and thank him again and again.

"If you are truly grateful to me, why don't you invite me to Fengle Lou to taste folk food?" Qi Yu smiled very facefully.

Feng Lin pinched the shriveled purse, did not break the emperor's magnanimous appreciation, and now he was shy in his pocket, and he probably couldn't afford to eat the reality of Fengle Lou's wine banquet.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this is the supreme honor of the villain!" Liu Ji responded happily.

Having eaten wine at the same table with the emperor is the most effective propaganda for him and Wuzhangfeng.

Although the fact is that the emperor sat leisurely and tasted the delicacies, while he stood and laughed at the cloth.

However, serving the emperor is not a privilege that everyone can enjoy!

After the wine and food were full, Qi Yu generously rewarded all the wine and food on the table that had not been touched much to Liu Ji, who had never even drunk a sip of tea, and only took the beauty picture with him, Shi Shiran went downstairs and left.

On the way back to the palace, Qi Yu told Feng Lin and others: "Don't leak it to the outside world, I bought this beautiful picture with two hundred taels of silver!" ”

The queen mother and Zhang Shoufu have always been strict with him, and there is a fixed amount of silver at his discretion every month. The two hundred taels of silver were part of his few personal savings, and even if the queen mother and Zhang Shoufu knew that he had spent it, they wouldn't say anything.

But if he knew that he spent two hundred taels of silver to buy such a picture of a beauty, then it would be perhaps......

Feng Lin and the others complied.

However, after returning to the palace and dealing with the Empress Dowager Li, Feng Lin turned his head and quietly told his godfather Feng Yongting the secret.

Feng Yongting pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Your Majesty love that beautiful picture, or is it ......?"

People who love to draw beautiful pictures.

Feng Lin understood the unfinished meaning of Feng Yongting's words, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty didn't say it." However, the child thinks that the figure is dead, but the person is alive. ”

The implication is that the emperor loves the beauty who paints the beauty.

Feng Yongting thought the same thing, so he nodded.

Feng Lin asked in a low voice, "Then will the godfather inform Zhang Shoufu about this matter?" ”

At that time, Feng Yongting and Zhang Shoufu teamed up to squeeze out Gao Heng, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, and took the opportunity to promote Zhang Gui, who was the last assistant at the time, to the position of first assistant. Over the years, the two have cooperated seamlessly, and the cabinet's vote, as long as it is at the behest of Zhang Shoufu, Feng Yongting, as the chief eunuch who assists the emperor in reviewing the chapters, will approve the red approval.

This matter may be related to the establishment of the post, such a major matter, of course, the two sides have to talk to each other in advance.

Feng Yongting also thought so, but for the sake of prudence, he still advised: "Let me think about this matter again." Your Majesty, you must not show any traces. ”

Otherwise, once the charge of disobeying the holy decree is detained, not only Feng Lin will not be able to keep it, but even he will have to be eaten and hanged up. More importantly, it will be difficult to install people around the emperor in the future.

It wasn't the first time Feng Lin had done such a thing, he was very familiar with it, and nodded in response.

In the next few days, Feng Yongting remembered this matter and observed the emperor's words and deeds without a trace, but he did not find any clues, so he slowed down.

The emperor was brought up by him, and even the Empress Dowager Li may not have the time he spent with the emperor, so Feng Yongting thinks that he knows the emperor very well - regardless of the identity of the emperor, he is an ordinary teenager who is obedient and obedient and has no scheming.

Such a person cannot hide his thoughts.

Perhaps, the emperor was ignorant of the world, so he became the wrongdoer, and spent two hundred taels of silver to buy a picture of a beauty that any court painter could draw with his eyes closed.

……

Everything in the palace is as stable as before, but the Huang Mansion suddenly has a slight turmoil.

After Huang Yi'an returned home from Wuzhangfeng that day, the Wang family hurriedly pulled her into the inner room and asked in a low voice, "How is today?" ”

was a clueless sentence, but Huang Yi'an understood that Wang was asking about her and Zhang Lan.

When Zhang Lan followed Zhang Xi to pick her up this morning, instead of avoiding people, he specially greeted his mother. The young man's calm, generous and handsome appearance won his mother's praise, and his smile was brighter than the hibiscus flowers blooming under the porch.

Thinking of the carriage waiting for him outside the backyard of Wuzhangfeng, Huang Yi'an couldn't help but smile.

Although it is not the shyness of the daughter's family, her eyes are slightly rippling and warm.

When Wang saw it, he was overjoyed.

Afraid that his daughter would be embarrassed, Wang thoughtfully let go of the person, turned his head and called Amei to ask about today's events one by one.

Knowing that Zhang Lan treated Huang Yi'an respectfully and considerately, Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But when he heard that Ming Yi had made trouble in the past, and he was pulling and pulling with Zhang Chi in public, Wang frowned, and after a while, he ordered: "This matter is related to Miss Ming's reputation, and it must not be mentioned again." ”

As for this family affair with the British government, we must also think about it carefully.

After all, if Ming Yan is really involved with Zhang Chi, after her daughter marries, as her brother-in-law, she will inevitably be bullied by Ming Yan, who has always hated her.

……

In the dining room of the main courtyard of the British Mansion, men and women are seated separately and eat silently.

Mingyi mechanically picked up the rice in the bowl, but his throat was so blocked that he couldn't swallow a mouthful.

She always thought that Zhang Xi was the biggest obstacle to marrying Zhang Chi, but she never thought that it would be the British duchess, her aunt!

As soon as the carriage came out of the alley in the backyard of Wuzhangfeng today, Zhang Xi had a cold face and directly ordered the coachman to go back to the house immediately.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Zhang Xi went straight to the main courtyard angrily and reported today's incident to the British Duchess as it was.

The British Duchess, who was worried, first breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, glad that Ming Yan was going to Zhang Chi and did not ruin Zhang Lan and Huang Yi'an's family affairs, and then she was angry.
