Lu Tingsen was very satisfied with Qu Jiuning's answer.

Qu Jiuning has always been a person who says and does, but now she herself took the initiative to say that she would not bring down Chen Tingsheng and swore not to return to the border pass, which was in Lu Tingsen's arms.

Chen Tingsheng seized the Liukou and recovered the disaster relief official silver, and made a first-class contribution, and the Shangshu of the household department, Lu Tingsen, and Chen Tingsheng were all summoned into the palace.

On the top of the main hall, the empress Qu Fengran's face was undisguised comfort and pleasure.

Loyal King Qu Xiaoyi sat beside Empress Qu Fengran with a smile on her face.

Shang Shu took Chen Tingsheng and Lu Tingsen asked the empress Qu Fengran to say goodbye: "Long live Your Majesty, long live." ”

Empress Qu Fengran saw Shangshu, her comfortable eyebrows instantly twisted, and she snorted coldly: "This time there is such a big incident in your household department, and you, the household department Shangshu, are the culprit!" ”

Hubu Shangshu's face was bruised with fright, and he trembled and knelt on the ground, "Minister, confess!" ”

Empress Qu Fengran was full of sneers, "If it weren't for the subordinates of your household department to save the disaster relief silver taels this time, I would have to treat you for a serious crime!" ”

After a while, Empress Qu Fengran's voice sounded: "Forgive me for doing things for the court for so many years, I won't cure you for this crime." ”

"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so let's go back to our hometown, and enjoy our old age in peace in the future."

Hubu Shangshu, who had just reached middle age, after hearing the empress's words that had no room for negotiation, he could only respond: "Thank you, Lord Longen, minister.... Pick up the order. ”

"Stand down."

Empress Qu Fengran didn't even bother to look at the Hubu Shangshu again.

After the Hubu Shangshu retreated, Chen Tingsheng and Lu Tingsen stood straight in the main hall.

The old ministers in the past are old and useless, but this distant relative who is loyal to the king is very good.

The more Qu Fengran thought about it, the happier he became, "Chen Youlang, take a step forward and raise your head for me to see." ”

Chen Tingsheng hurriedly stepped forward and raised his head.

The face is also beautiful.

"I remember that you were on the list when you were on the scientific expedition, right?"

Chen Tingsheng replied with a smile: "Weichen is the eye of the list, and Lu Zuo Shilang is the champion at that time. ”

Speaking of Lu Tingsen, Empress Qu Fengran's face was not so pleasant, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, and her eyes did not look at Lu Tingsen from beginning to end.

Lu Tingsen's intelligence Qu Fengran has already seen it, although he is a man, he is not inferior to a woman in his work.

Such a smart Lu Tingsen, in the matter of the loss of official money this time, it also disappeared through his hands.

It's really disappointing.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Wechen was able to find those rogues this time was because I listened to Lu Tingsen's analysis, and Wechen made this contribution, and this credit was originally from Lu Zuo's servant."

Hearing this, Empress Qu Fengran finally looked at Lu Tingsen.

Lu Tingsen's face was pale, and he barely gave any expression, like a wooden man, not pleasing at all.

Empress Qu Fengran took it and immediately looked away.

"This time, the official silver was originally lost by Lu Zuo Shilang's hands, but for the sake of Lu Zuo Shilang's meritorious service this time, I will not be punished."

Chen Tingsheng looked at Lu Tingsen happily at the moment, originally thinking that he could see Lu Tingsen cast a small grateful look.

But Lu Tingsen didn't.

still has such a faint look, it seems that the whole person is so careless, no matter what decisions the empress makes, he doesn't care about it at all.

Just now, Lord Shangshu was dismissed by His Majesty, isn't he afraid that he will also be dismissed?

Chen Tingsheng didn't get Lu Tingsen's grateful eyes, and his heart was panicked.

"King Zhong, your princess really has a good relative, a talent."

Qu Xiaoyi, the loyal king who was sitting on the side, had a soft smile on his face, and he also laughed: "Emperor Xie praised him, and when he went back, his son told him that he must be very happy." ”

Empress Qu Fengran was in an extremely happy mood, and patted her thigh: "Now that the post of the head of the household department is missing, Chen Youlang has made such a great contribution this time, let her fill the post of the head of the household." ”

Qu Xiaoyi hesitated in embarrassment and said: "Mother Emperor, Chen Youshilang is still young, I'm afraid that my experience is not enough to serve as Shangshu." ”

"Who is born with it?"

Listening to such an answer, Qu Xiaoyi looked at Chen Tingsheng below happily: "Thank you for your grace." ”

Chen Tingsheng was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and said excitedly: "Weichen Xie Your Majesty, Weichen is determined to serve the imperial court, and he will die!" ”

At that moment, Chen Tingsheng wanted to take advantage of this time to make a great contribution, and wanted to ask His Majesty for some favor from this matter.

For example: Ask Your Majesty for marriage.

Chen Tingsheng's greatest wish is that His Majesty wants Her Majesty to marry her and Lu Tingsen, otherwise she will definitely not participate in this matter.

She wants to get Lu Tingsen too much, even if Lu Tingsen doesn't like her now, it doesn't matter, she can wait slowly, wait until Lu Tingsen and her get married, and then slowly forget Qu Jiuning, and then only have her Chen Tingsheng in her heart.

originally thought that King Zhong would open this mouth for her, but seeing that His Majesty was leaving, King Zhong did not open this mouth.

Chen Tingsheng couldn't help but be anxious, and then he took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to ask for something. ”

That is, if the loyal king does not say, then she will mention it herself.

With such a great contribution this time, presumably His Majesty will not refuse.

Before Qu Fengran could speak, he was reprimanded by King Zhong on the spot: "Lu Shangshu, you have just been promoted, you should do your job well!" ”

King Zhong looked at Chen Tingsheng below, with a bit of warning in his eyes, and his voice was a little majestic.

Chen Tingsheng looked at it, and the full request turned into only one word in the end: "Yes." ”

Empress Qu Fengran didn't pay attention to this little episode, and waved her hand: "What King Zhong said is right, you should do your job first now." ”

"Wechen obeys."

Chen Tingsheng felt extremely sorry in his heart, he missed such a great opportunity, and he didn't know when he would have a better chance to mention the matter of marriage again.

At this time, the chief eunuch walked to the side of the empress Qu Fengran and said in a low voice, Qu Fengran wrinkled his eyebrows slightly and said, "Let them in." ”

Then the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "King Xuanlu, respect the king and enter the palace!" ”

Hearing the words Jing Wang, Lu Tingsen, who was standing straight, moved, and turned around to look at the door of the main hall.

Chen Tingsheng looked at Lu Tingsen's reaction and vomited blood in his heart!

It's all come to this point, Lu Tingsen hasn't given up yet, and when he talks about Qu Jiuning, a cold face turns into spring water!

Qu Jiuning and King Lu Qu Beifu slowly entered the hall.

After the two saluted the empress Qu Fengran, without waiting for Qu Fengran to speak, Qu Jiuning bowed his hand and said: "Mother Emperor, this official silver incident has been dealt with, and the rogues have been killed one by one. ”

Listening to Qu Jiuning's words.

Lu Tingsen's face darkened in an instant!

Qu Jiuning lied to him!?

I clearly said before that I would never leave Kyoto if I couldn't defeat Chen Tingsheng!
