Chapter 651: The Way of Being an Official
The queen said that Concubine Rong had already said congratulations, but Concubine Rong didn't seem to be impressed.
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, then puzzled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Maybe I said it, my sister forgot, I think it's too happy, and saying it once is not enough to express the joy in my sister's heart, Your Majesty, did you say it?" β
Concubine Rong has always been so coquettish, so she behaved coquettishly in front of the emperor like this, which also made the emperor strange.
Therefore, when the emperor heard this, he just laughed and said: "I think I am so happy to come to Concubine Ai, I will forget that I have already said the words of congratulations." β
Although the emperor himself understands that there is nothing really harmonious and beautiful in this palace, he is really happy today, and he is infected by the current cheerful atmosphere, so he can't help but think that it would be good if the harem was peaceful and happy.
It is precisely because of this that he doesn't feel that Concubine Rong came over again and again to say hello, not out of sincerity.
But the emperor can indulge in the illusion of the moment, but the queen will not.
I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that Concubine Rong is a little strange today.
However, sending someone to keep an eye on her, but she never found anything strange, and the queen couldn't help but wonder, thinking that it was possible that she was thinking wrong?
Either way, you have to keep an eye on this person.
Today is the prince's wedding, if something goes wrong, Concubine Rong and the eldest prince must be allowed to make a fuss, and the queen has to guard against it.
Although he is happy and harmonious at the moment, who doesn't know, it's just that everyone has their own ghosts and has their own ideas.
However, most people in the world like to maintain a superficial harmony, even the queen herself, and she also maintains a superficial friendship with Concubine Rong, at least, now is not the time to tear her face.
Over the years, the Wang family's power has grown a lot, and before she is completely sure, the queen can't play with the prince's future.
Fortunately, now that the prince is assisted by loyal ministers and good generals, I think that road can still go more smoothly.
This time about the envoy of the Huns, Lu Zheng helped the prince with a lot of effort, and the queen didn't see it.
However, Lu Zheng is a courtier, and it is not her turn to reward and care.
But Lu Zheng doesn't need her to care, Lu Zheng's fiancΓ©e can pay more attention.
That little girl, I hadn't paid attention to it before, where could I have imagined that the matter of Han Tie was discovered because of her.
The crown prince was valued a lot by the emperor because of the cold iron incident, and the queen still remembered this favor.
Now that Lu Zheng is already the prince's person in everyone's eyes, the queen has no scruples.
After a few days, the heat of the prince's wedding subsided, so he asked the girl to come into the palace to sit down.
Come to think of it, a girl who can make Lu Zheng fall in love and be so smart must not be a vulgar fan.
What about the little Houmen concubine?
The world is always obsessed with identity, and the four words are more important than anything else, in her opinion, in fact, it is just to make excuses for her greed and ambition.
The word identity, in her opinion, is more like a shackle, imprisoning people who cannot be free and have to retreat.
......
Du Yiheng took the sobering soup, but to Lu Zheng's surprise, he took the sobering soup, but people seemed to be more sleepy?
It won't go on like this.
If he is drunk and unconscious at the palace banquet, Du Yiheng will inevitably be participated by someone who cares.
Lu Zheng just disdains the intrigue in officialdom, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand.
On the contrary, he knows very well, since he was a child, his father not only taught him the art of war, but also taught him the way to be an official.
There are some things that you can't do, but you can't not understand them.
Although Du Yiheng's sister married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, Du Yiheng is happy, but the emperor is still there, the hundred officials are still there, and on top of this palace banquet, no matter how happy Du Yiheng is, he can't lose his honor.
If Du Yiheng is so drunk in front of everyone, he will be said to be too drunk to drink, but to put it more seriously, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, saying that he despises the monarch and loses his honor in front of the king, it will be bad.
In order to avoid such a situation, Lu Zheng should immediately send Du Yiheng to the tea room in the side hall to rest.
In this palace and banquet, there will be a tea room for the guests to sober up, if you feel that you are not strong enough to drink, go inside to rest, drink a cup of strong tea, and generally sober up.
Lu Zheng naturally planned to do the same.
However, he decided to send Du Yiheng over here, and saw a few officials coming to him in front of him.
That's not good.
These people, one of them is a person from the eldest prince's faction, if he sees Du Yiheng like this, he may have some idea.
Lu Zheng quickly thought about it, thinking that the tea room was not far from here, so he summoned the waiter who had just gone to fetch the decanting soup, and instructed him: "You help Young Master Du to go to the tea room in the side hall to rest, and stay there to take care of Young Master Du, and then come back when Young Master Du wakes up." β
The waiter wanted to say, but he left, who did Lu Zheng want to serve here, but when he looked up and saw Lu Zheng's cold face, he didn't dare to ask anything, and immediately answered yes, and then helped Du Yiheng to the side hall.
As soon as the waiter helped Du Yiheng away, the three adults came to Lu Zheng.
Sure enough, among them, the eldest prince faction, Xu Ziqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked: "It's Young Master Du who just left, why did you leave when you saw a few of us?" Originally, I still wanted to have a drink with Young Master Du? β
Although the words are ordinary, the gaze of the scrutiny clearly contains deep meaning.
Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Young Master Du is a little overwhelmed with alcohol, and he wants to go to the side hall to sober up, it's unfortunate that Lord Xu came, but in the eyes of Lord Xu, there is only Young Master Du, didn't he take me in his eyes?" β
That's not an elegant thing to say.
However, because this was said by Lu Zheng, no one dared to say that he was not polite.
Xu Ziqian is also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he was choked by Lu Zheng like this, but he was only annoyed for a moment, so he gritted his teeth and returned to normal, and toasted with a smile, "Look at what Lord Lu said, where is this, we came directly like this, isn't it just to find Lord Lu for a drink, I just saw that Young Master Du was gone, so I asked casually, where is it that I can't see Lord Lu, even so, Lord Lu, the lower official will give you a drink?" β
It stands to reason that an elder who is over the age of confusion should be a little uncomfortable toasting a young man, but Xu Ziqian has always been tactful, and he is used to flattery in officialdom, no matter which identity Lu Zheng brings out, he is taller than him, so it is not surprising that he is so polite, even with a bit of flattery.
Officialdom has always been like this.
Everything is just driven by a sharp word.
