Chapter 41: Gossip is human nature
Ji Huaili was still in a trance, but the emperor's question immediately interrupted his thoughts, and he stepped forward, "Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." ”
The Emperor nodded, "I heard that your daughter is only seven years old, so she personally came to the door to look for her relatives?" This female doll has some skills. ”
As for family affairs, of course, the emperor will not ask, after all, there are few romantic affairs in anyone's family.
He was only interested in the seven-year-old girl.
This matter has long been reported to the palace, and even the concubines in the harem are often talking about it, even if he doesn't listen.
Ji Huaili was dull for a moment, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles...... That's probably it, right? Fortunately, the little evil god's murder was concealed, and his father was prescient, otherwise he would not have been able to put his face aside.
He arched his hand, "The ugly thing of the family made His Majesty laugh." ”
The emperor didn't have anything, but laughed, "Since there is an extra daughter in the General's Mansion, you can bring her with you for the palace banquet in seven days." I also want to see what this disturbing female doll in Jin'an City looks like. ”
"This ......" Ji Huaili hesitated.
It's not a question of whether he wants to or not, but ...... What the little god is willing to do. If the little god doesn't want to...... He can't be tied......
"What's wrong? Having a hard time? The Emperor's voice rose sharply.
The emperor's voice was raised, and the ministers in the court craned their necks one by one.
"I didn't ...... No problem......" Ji Huaili bowed his head and said respectfully.
Only then did the emperor prolong his voice, "Well......" and then continued: "I have already said that in seven days, the royal family of Yu Kingdom will have distinguished guests coming, and I will specially allow all the courtiers and their families to enter the palace for a banquet. Especially your children. He accentuated his tone in the last sentence.
Ji Huaili had just come out of his mind, so he didn't hear about it, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed his head with all the other civil and military officials: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
After saying this, the courtiers dispersed.
Before Ji Huaili left the palace, he caught up with a Shangshu.
"Master Cui, do you know who His Majesty's distinguished guest is going to entertain?"
Na Shangshu didn't answer Ji Huaili's question first, but asked quietly: "General Ji, I heard that your daughter just came back, and your wife died?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Huaili's face darkened on the spot.
Urging Shangshu hurriedly reassured, "The general is angry, and the subordinate is just curious, not ......"
Gossip is human nature, and officials are no exception.
is to mention the death of someone's wife in front of others, which seems to be really unkind.
Afraid that Ji Huaili would be angry, Cui Shangshu immediately said: "As far as the officials know, the distinguished guests invited to this banquet include guests from other countries, as well as ...... Some incredible characters. Look at the meaning of Your Majesty, and estimate the identities of those big people this time......"
Cui Shangshu's words were not finished, leaving a suspense.
But what he didn't say was done, and Ji Huaili also understood what it meant.
He nodded, arched his hand at Cui Shangshu, and then walked away.
Emperor Duan Qing retreated to the inner hall to rest, also in order to wait for someone.
But he waited for a while, but he still didn't wait for the man.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by King Rong's Mansion." The inner attendant took a letter and presented it quickly.
Duan Qing frowned, opened the letter, glanced at the words on it with his eyes, and then put the letter aside, his eyebrows were lightly closed.
