The sound of the utensils falling to the ground was drowned out by the music, and the lid rolled to the side, revealing the contents in plain sight.

"What's that? It looks a bit like ......."

"Is it grain? Why did King Yu send this thing?"

Shen Xizhi picked up the food utensils, grabbed a handful of grains scattered around, and said: "The emperor is rich in the world, the world is peaceful, and the river is clear and the sea is clear." This food vessel and five grains are actually dedicated to the emperor by the people of Beijing, and the food vessel is engraved with six animal reliefs. Implying a bumper harvest of grains and prosperity of six animals, the people are grateful to the emperor for his grace and grace, and specially invite the prince to present a gift on his behalf. But since the emperor doesn't want ......"

She sighed, her expression depressed, "Okay, let's take it back and give an explanation to the people." ”

The faces of the crowd changed dramatically at her words.

It is ironic that a broken object that could not be put on the table just now has become a good thing that carries the wishes of the people.

"This ...... That's a good thing. Concubine Rong played a round with a little embarrassment, "Your Majesty, although the move of the Yuwang Mansion is reckless, it is the intention of the people in the end, and you can dissipate your anger." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers also comforted one after another, and they all forgot their ridicule.

Because Shen Xizhi's name is big, it is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. At the beginning, King Yu won the hearts of the people and achieved his patrol army, but now if the emperor refuses this gift, he will give up the hearts of the people.

So no matter how angry the emperor was, he had to go down the steps given by everyone. But he frowned, still angry, "Since it is a gift from the people, it should be explained as soon as possible." I'm going to bypass you for the time being, and I'm not going to make an example. ”

A storm subsided.

Shen Xizhi sneered in her heart, she and Jiang Jingyu had suffered a lot of difficulties before they made a mistake, and now when they heard that it was offered by the people, they exonerated themselves with weight, in the end, they were the emperor, it was really unusual.

She thanked her grace on the surface and returned to Jiang Jingyu's side.

Although the five grains and six animals were unexpected, everyone could see that the emperor was in a bad mood, and no one who was not afraid of death dared to joke about it.

"I see what the people have offered, as if they were playing tricks on their own. ”

Jiang Zhen muttered quietly, not daring to let people hear.

But what she didn't know was that this was indeed a method that Shen Xizhi came up with, but the food utensils and grains were indeed from the hands of the people. She was just lobbying for the people to agree.

Therefore, even if the emperor investigates afterwards, the news he gets will never be different from what he said.

"The prince is for the country and the people, and the emperor will have no reason to step down from your post for a while. Shen Xizhi quietly quipped, and his heart was also settled.

A sneer overflowed from Jiang Jingyu's lips, and he squinted, looking at the person sitting on the throne, once again appreciating his hypocrisy.

In fact, he has long noticed some movements, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but how Jiang Zerui performs, the emperor will use his merit in organizing the palace banquet to let him return to power. And his unformed patrol army is estimated to fall into the hands of Jiang Zerui.

Rather than passively accepting, it is better to strike first.

At present, he is the person who belongs to the people, and there is no fault, if the emperor wants to take power again, there is no reason.

The tune at the banquet changed again, and Shen Xizhi sounded familiar, remembering that this should be played by the musicians of Yuwangfu.

The wine was hot, and no one mentioned anything about Fang Cai.

At the end of the music, Jiang Zhen looked at it, and she remembered that Zhang Lianyi should be the next to appear.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Lianyi's figure appeared at the banquet, she had been carefully dressed today, and she was also a leader among the nobles, plus she was veiled on her face, as if there was a haze that was half-covering her face.

"The courtiers are willing to dedicate a song to Your Majesty. She fell to the ground, pretending to be well-behaved and delicate.

The emperor did not speak, but bowed slightly. Concubine Rong thought about her plan to help Jiang Zhen, and said at this time: "This is the fourth girl of the Zhang family, right? I heard that you are very good at the piano and your appearance is also a sign, you are really a wonderful person." ”

Zhang Lianyi was shy and timid, and said delicately: "The concubine is falsely praised. ”

A few palace maids behind her carried the piano over, and Concubine Rong smiled and asked her to start playing.

Everything developed as Jiang Zhen and a few people expected, Zhang Lianyi's piano skills are really good, and for today, she has practiced hard every day, and she has long been familiar with this piece by heart.

Listening to this, the ministers near Lord Zhang began to compliment him, and Lord Zhang smiled and returned the salute with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the concubine looked at this Zhang Si girl and felt like it, she is a sensible child, and she will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future. ”

Concubine Rong didn't deliberately lower her voice, but because the two of them were a little distant from the ministers, the ministers didn't know these words.

"Looks like an obedient one. The emperor took the wine that Concubine Rong poured for him, "But the Zhang family is lower, and they are not worthy of the prince or the old nine." ”

I didn't expect him to compare Jiang Tianbao and Jiang Zerui, Concubine Rong was overjoyed for a moment, she carefully pondered the emperor's expression, and said: "Min Wen and Min Wu have big hearts, if they suddenly give marriage, they are afraid of resentment, it is better to ......"

She slowed her voice, "Let her be a companion with Princess Yu and serve King Yu together." Now it is rumored that King Yu loves Princess Yu very much, but in the end, it is the blood of the Shen family, and maybe there is a rebellion hidden in his bones. Let Miss Zhang Si enter the palace of King Yu, so as to balance Princess Yu, isn't it?"

"After all, King Yu is the emperor's own flesh and blood, and his blood is connected, think about it, has King Yu ever disobeyed you in the past? But since marrying that Shen Xizhi, it has ...... Today he is so bold and reckless, playing tricks on you. In the long run, it will be a piece of backbone. ”

The Shen family is like a thorn in the emperor's throat, he can't spit it out or swallow it, but he chokes in his throat all the time, making him uncomfortable.

The emperor also knew this, just for the sake of father and son, he couldn't force King Yu to marry a side concubine, and now that Concubine Rong mentioned it, he had no reason to refuse.

"Let's do it, King Yu raises tigers, so I have to worry more. He said like a loving father.

"What are the emperor and the concubine talking about?" Mrs. Zhou paid attention to the two all the time, after all, her son wanted to marry Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen was a princess, and no matter what the emperor said, it was unlikely that he would marry his own daughter to a cripple.

On weekdays, it is said that most of this thing cannot be done, so the Zhou family has not responded to Jiang Zhen's apology, and only hopes to solve the matter today.

Seeing the two people muttering, Mrs. Zhou couldn't sit still, she secretly pushed Lord Zhou, urging: "What are you waiting for? This matter is not too late, I see that the emperor is in a good mood at this time, you go and talk about it, even if you don't agree, you shouldn't be guilty." ”

Lord Zhou was disturbed and had a headache, so he had to wave her hand away, stepped forward hard, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to ask for." ”
