Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Li Zhishen saluted the emperor, and then respectfully walked to the side and sat down, and said: "Father, what you instructed your sons to ask them to find a few suitable officials to serve in the area under their jurisdiction, and the sons have already done it." ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded lightly, and then said: "Although this matter was negligent on your part first, and now that it has been dealt with, you must not slack off, take it as a warning!" Don't let that happen again. ”

"Son, remember." Li Zhishen bowed slightly, and his attitude was deferential.

Saying that, Li Zhishen continued, "Regarding the disaster relief in the northwest, Erchen has arranged for someone to send grain and grass over, and has also prepared a batch of cloth, which will arrive in a few days." ”

"That's very good." The emperor continued to nod, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, his third son usually reported things in the court, why did he go to the imperial study today to talk non-stop?

Li Zhishen was not in a hurry to talk about Mu Yunqian, and reported all the work that the emperor asked him to do.

When the emperor was a little impatient and was about to ask him to kneel down, Li Zhishen got to the point.

"That's right," he said quickly with an expression that suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of fabrics, Erchen also met Miss Mu Yunqian, a young lady of the Mu family, in the famous cloth village in the capital today, and she was choosing fabrics at that time. ”

"Oh? So what? The emperor turned his head to look at him, and seemed to understand that this was the "main topic" that Li Zhishen wanted to say.

"Erchen saw that Miss Mu Jia was selecting Shu brocade and knew a lot about it, so she thought it was not shallow." Li Zhishen then continued, with an expression on his face that he didn't expect at all: "It's really amazing." ”

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, he is also a good person, and the other party has said this, where can he not understand what it means?

My three sons, I'm afraid there is no other purpose, right? If he really came just to praise Mu Yunqian, he didn't believe it.

Thinking about it, the emperor couldn't help but joke: "It's rare that Shen'er would be so interested in something, but it's just ...... What you are amazed at is Mu Yunqian's attainments in Shu brocade? Or is it Mu Yunqian? ”

"Ahem." was made a joke coldly, seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, Li Zhishen turned his head a little embarrassed, not looking directly at the other party's gaze, and said,

"Father said with a smile, this amazement is naturally her attainments in Shu brocade."

"Miss Mu has a deep understanding of Shu Jin, and in Erchen's opinion, even if she is asked to do it, I am afraid it is not a difficult task! She is a little woman, and she knows so much, which is really impressive. ”

Li Zhishen said that he admired her attainments in Shu Jin, but he quietly praised Mu Yunqian.

He thought that as long as he helped Mu Yunqian this time, the other party would probably be impressed by him, but he didn't know that what Mu Yunqian was most afraid of was having a relationship with the royal family, if Mu Yunqian knew that he was doing this, I am afraid that he couldn't help but come out and kill him!

"That's true, Mu Yunqian's mind is extraordinary, she can help her father manage such a big industry as the Mu family, and she also understands fabrics, which is really amazing." The emperor thought in his heart, said something sincerely, and then turned his head to look at Li Zhishen: "Shen'er, you will like it, but it is also human nature." ”

"Father, don't make fun of your sons." Li Zhishen also pretended to be embarrassed and tilted his head and said softly.

"However, you have come to tell me this because I want me to arrange a royal business for her...... Or do you want me to marry you? The Emperor narrowed his eyes and then asked.

He still had that faint expression on his face, but there seemed to be something different. 77 eBooks

"Erchen has no such intentions, Miss Mujia has no love for Erchen for the time being, and Erchen doesn't want to force it." Li Zhishen shook his head, and then straightened his face and said: "Erchen just wants to talk about these things to his father, and he has no other meaning, as for how to decide, it naturally depends on his father." ”

Li Zhishen replied very cautiously, he had already decided that he would be the first to attack Mu Yunqian, otherwise he would not have said all the good things for the other party in the imperial study today.

If it is not impossible to let the emperor make an order at this time, it will be resisted by Mu Yunqian, such a strong woman, he doesn't want to burn jade with the other party!

As for arranging the royal business, if he really said that he would let the emperor arrange it, the emperor would definitely be displeased and feel that he had interfered too much.

As a monarch, he is most afraid of his subordinates interfering too much, even if he is his son, absolutely not!

Therefore, he can only tell Mu Yunqian's affairs, but he can't interfere with the other party's decision.

"Well," the emperor nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face, "I know, it's a pity that Miss Mujia's talent has been buried, and I'm not the kind of person who spares his talents." ”

"Father is wise." Li Zhishen stood up and arched his hand.

"Come," the emperor turned his head to look at the personal eunuch beside him, and ordered: "Spread my will, Miss Xuan Mu's family Mu Yunqian will enter the palace to attend the small banquet in a few days." ”

That banquet was originally only available to some royal relatives and nobles, but now the emperor specially called Mu Yunqian in front of him, did he agree to arrange royal business for her?

Li Zhishen was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his trip didn't seem to be in vain!

"Yes." The eunuch nodded, turned and went out to command.

Li Zhishen had already finished what he wanted to say, and it was not good to continue to stay, so he also stood up and said: "It's not too early now, and the sons will no longer bother their father's review and remarks, and the sons will retire." ”

"Go ahead." The Emperor waved his hand casually.

……

And on the other side, Mufu.

Mu Yunqian listened to the words of the eunuch in front of him, and his mood sank involuntarily, but his face was not easy to show, and he knew: "The people's daughter knows, there is a message from Gonggong Lao." ”

As she spoke, she took out a few taels of silver from her sleeve and handed them to the eunuch.

When the eunuch saw it, his eyes lit up, and he looked around to see that there was no one, and after a few reserved moments, he still took it, and squeezed his eyebrows at Mu Yunqian, and said: "This time I really congratulate Miss Mu, and the slave is not afraid to tell you that this banquet was originally a small gathering of the royal family and nobles, and the emperor was able to specially call Miss Mu, so it proves his appreciation for you." ”

"My father-in-law has a good reputation." Mu Yunqian smiled reluctantly and nodded towards the other party.

The eunuch was glad to get the money, and complimented him a few more times, and then turned and walked away.

And Mu Yunqian, after the eunuch left, his face quickly sank.
