When Emperor Chu sent someone to summon Zhao Chen, she was eating breakfast with her head buried in her head, and her expression was as usual.

"Are you holding on?" Zhou He, the former father-in-law, looked at her gobbling up her food, and his face wrinkled and wrinkled.

"Let's go, one last bite." Zhao Chen stuffed half of the bun into his mouth, got up and pulled him away.

"Your Highness." Meng Yong suddenly stopped her, smiled apologetically at Zhou He, and then pulled her aside, as if to straighten her clothes, "Remember, the best way to save your life is to stay away from danger..."

Zhao Chen looked at him, nodded silently for a while, and walked towards Miyagi with an ambiguous Zhou He.

………

The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace is delicate.

Emperor Chu sat on the soft chair, his expression was light, holding the fold in one hand and the zhu pen in the other, as if he was reviewing.

At the next place, Xia Mingji, who was dressed in court clothes, had a gloomy face, as if he was holding back his stomach unsatisfactory.

The door of the palace opened from the outside, and as soon as Zhao Chen walked in, he lifted his robe and bowed down: "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

No response.

She endured the pain everywhere on her body, waited very honestly, listened to the rustle of the tip of the pen falling on the paper, and did not move.

Half a moment later, Emperor Chu put down his pen and asked softly, "Lu Dingbei didn't survive?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, General Lu has been sad for many years, and his body and bones have already dried up..."She choked up and said sadly: "Imperial Doctor Yu tried his best to heal, but, but he still had no power to return to heaven." ”

Emperor Chu glanced at her twice, changed the topic and said, "Today, in front of me, settle your accounts." ”

Xia Mingji said dryly: "Your Majesty, the minister earns seventy-three stones of rice and one hundred and eighty taels of silver per month, even if he doesn't eat or drink, it will take more than ten years to pay off 40,000 taels, and the minister can't afford to pay off this account." ”

"What did Prince Wu say?" Emperor Chu smiled and asked lightly.

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and smiled: "The ministers all listen to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chu looked at her meaningfully, and signaled to the side, and immediately a palace person held a brocade box and handed it to her.

"I bought it at the beginning of the year." He pointed to the porcelain vase in the box, "Prince Zhuang has shown it, saying that it is an object from a thousand years ago, you take it back and put it aside, don't let people smash it again." ”

Zhao Chen didn't refuse, smiled and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Xia Mingji looked stunned, and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, this, this-"

"Okay, you've been honest for many years, and I see it in my eyes, and this matter is over." Emperor Chu smiled and waved his hand, "You step back first, go back and handle the case well." ”

Xia Mingji's eyes were full of gratitude, he knocked on the ground, and retreated obediently.

The hall was quiet again, and Zhao Chen moved his aching legs slightly, still full of well-behaved.

"Do you know it's wrong?" Emperor Chu asked lightly.

She thought for a moment and shook her head: "That's right. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chu stood up with a smile and walked in front of her, "Tell me, lie to the minister, what's wrong?" ”

She raised her little face and said confidently: "They dare to lead their troops to break into the minister's mansion because they don't take the minister seriously, with your holy purpose, the minister can't stop them, but they don't want to step on the minister's pleasure." ”

"The minister is the prince of the dynasty, and the son of heaven is first, and they have the courage to step on the minister's foot, and they deserve this disgust." She muttered angrily: "Let the minister say, the minister will be less!" ”

obviously looks like a scoundrel, but it makes people take it for granted.

Emperor Chu was laughed at by her, but his eyes moved, "Listen to what you mean, am I still wrong?" ”

"Where do you dare to blame you?" She squinted her eyes and glanced at the brocade box, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, but her tone remained the same: "The minister said, I listened to you, you said this, and it was over." ”

"You don't get cheap there, and you sell well." Emperor Chu scolded with a smile, and said again: "Okay, get up!" ”

Zhao Chen smiled at this time, and was about to get up while holding the ground, but he fell back and grinned in pain.

"What's going on?" Emperor Chu frowned and reached out and pulled her up.

"It's okay, it's snowing all of a sudden." She smiled unabatedly and patted her left leg, "It's not unusual for the minister's legs and feet to make mistakes as soon as they catch up with the changing sky." ”

Emperor Chu was silent, pulled her to sit on the couch on the side, and said after a while: "Xiao Chen'er, I haven't let you enter the court all these years, first, I want you to live a carefree life, and second, because you are disabled..."

"Don't worry, the minister knows it in his heart, and besides, the minister doesn't like to fight for power and profit." She smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry about eating and drinking, life is smooth, and the minister is already content." ”

Emperor Chu's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he asked with a smile: "Then if you are bullied again next time, you will still be such a scoundrel?" ”

"Next time... Isn't there still you and your ancestors? Zhao Chen smiled and blinked, "If there is a next time, the minister will sue you before the other party, and you are in charge, how can the minister suffer?" ”

Emperor Chu couldn't help but smile, and he also made a decision in his heart, and said softly: "You passed your eighteenth birthday yesterday, and your family affairs have been decided, you should think about starting a career when you become a family——"

"Don't worry, Seventeen doesn't care about that." Zhao Chen didn't seem to notice it, and said to himself, "The minister is just eating and waiting for death all her life, and she is also rare." ”

"It's not promising!" Emperor Chu glared, "What woman doesn't want her husband to get ahead?" ”

Zhao Chen covered the smile in his eyes, his face was still full of indifference, and muttered: "Anyway, the minister is incompetent, if she doesn't want to follow, then let her find someone else." ”

Emperor Chu was really angry with her at this time, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "You don't have to make trouble with me, I can tell you that there must be no mistakes in this family business, you give me some anger, don't teach people to lose my face." ”

Zhao Chen's shoulders fell, shrunk and said, "How can the minister be angry?" Chen is a useless waste, except to be nice to her, follow her more, what can he do? ”

"Straighten my back!"

Emperor Chu scolded her, and then said earnestly: "If a man makes contributions outside and can hold up the sky, women can live with you with peace of mind, otherwise no matter how good you are to her, it is useless to be obedient..."

Zhao Chen smiled secretly, the main topic can be counted.

"Xie Duan is old, and the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are heavy, so he really can't take care of it." Emperor Chu looked at her, "You can go there and start by supervising the imperial history, and I will let Xie Duan take care of you more." ”

Zhao Chen hid his sneer without revealing it, half-opened his mouth, and asked with a stunned expression: "Do you want to be a minister to the court?" Ke Ke Chen is a crippled person, and he cannot be an official according to the system-"

Emperor Chu patted her on the shoulder and said: "I have always regarded you as my own son, I really can't bear to let you be miserable like this for the rest of your life, don't worry about someone talking about your legs, I will suppress it for you..."

"Learn to do things with Xie Duan, I will still count on you to share my worries in the future."

Zhao Chen lowered his eyebrows, his face was excited, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
