Although the people in Ling Tian City were spreading the news that Ruizhi was growing on the door eyebrows of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhaojing Palace. But the people of the Zhaojing Mansion were indifferent to this, just because their master, the Zhaojing Prince, ordered that no one should talk nonsense.

Shen Tuwen is really calm, but some people can't hold their breath anymore.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has been a little impetuous, and the incident of unsuccessful students in five states and eight counties jointly gathering to make trouble has just been suppressed a few months ago.

Now some junior officials in the court regard themselves as high and refuse to be attached to him, and even unite with each other to eyeing themselves.

His position as prime minister is not as strong as it used to be, and because of this, most centrists are swinging from side to side there.

Xiao Bonian, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, knows that in this situation, strong allies must join in order to strengthen his position.

The idea that he had been looking forward to uniting with Prince Zhaojing never came true, so he had to push it, thinking of this, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng began to arrange his troops.

He must confirm the marriage of Prince Zhaojing and Xiao Liuli as soon as possible, only in this way can he firmly sit on the position of prime minister.

So within a few days, Prime Minister Xiao ordered someone to carefully pick the Ganoderma lucidum that grew on the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Ganoderma lucidum had grown to the size of an adult's palm at this time.

It was deliberately held on a gold plate, and after retreating from the dynasty, it was presented to the current saint.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng respectfully held the gold plate and said to the emperor: "Ruizhi was born on the lintel of the lower official's mansion, and Weichen would never dare to occupy it privately, so he offered it to the saint." Because this auspiciousness is not the feeling of Weichen's virtue, it is caused by the wisdom and virtue of the saint, so the minister does not dare to possess it privately, and when it is ripe, he will pick it and present it to His Majesty. ”

The emperor had also heard about this before, and when he saw that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng had offered this lingzhi, he looked down. I saw that this Ganoderma lucidum was the size of an adult's palm, slightly purple, and shaped like auspicious clouds, and it was really beautiful.

Look at the tray of Sheng Lingzhi again, there is an embroidery, which is embroidered with the appearance of Magu's birthday, the embroidery is exquisite and lifelike, and the Magu hands are holding exactly the Ganoderma lucidum, which can be regarded as exquisitely conceived.

The emperor then said: "The prime minister has a heart, this Lingzhi is born of the aura of heaven and earth, and it is not a matter of widowhood." ”

The ministers next to him naturally sang the praises of virtue again.

"Emperor Qiqi, now the auspicious rui in Ling Tiancheng can not only be in the prime minister's family," Sun Shilang hurriedly said: "Weichen heard that just a few days ago, almost at the same time as Xiao Chengxiang's house, a Ruizhi was also born on the lintel of Zhaojing Wangye's mansion, and many people saw it at that time. ”

"Oh, how can this happen? I haven't heard Wen'er say that. The emperor felt very strange when he heard it: "It stands to reason that it is difficult to grow Ganoderma lucidum in the middle of winter, and even if there is, it should be very rare, who would have thought that there would be two places." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? It's called a good thing coming in pairs! Sun Shilang said on the side: "A few days ago, I heard that the marriage of Prince Zhaojing only bloomed, maybe this auspicious rui should be on the prince." ”

"Wen'er's marriage has actually blossomed? How did I not know? The emperor was even more surprised when he heard it, this is also a big deal, why doesn't his son report it to himself? What's more, if you don't say it to yourself, why don't you even say a word to the queen?

"That's right, Weichen also heard about this matter," another minister said: "By the way, Prime Minister Xiao, I heard that on the day the prince's marriage blossomed, the eldest lady of your family went to Zhaojing Wangfu to meet Mama Chang, don't you know about this?" ”

"Oh, the little girl did go to the Zhaojing Palace, but it was only after she came back that I heard that the marriage of the Zhaojing prince had bloomed." Prime Minister Xiao Cheng pretended to be modest and said: "As for whether it is true, the little girl has never seen it in person. ”

"Oh, I see, but speaking of the eldest lady of your family, it's really amazing, she was already a close disciple of Master Yun Bing at a young age, and her morality and talent are all first-class. By the way, the embroidery of this Magu birthday is also from the hand of the eldest lady, right? Sun Shilang was on the side again.

The emperor listened to them and was silent.

At this time, Yu Shangshu came over and said to the emperor: "The old minister wants to take a day off tomorrow, because tomorrow is the full moon ceremony of the old minister's grandson." ”

"Since that's the case, Yu Shangshu will take a day off tomorrow!" There was envy in the emperor's tone, Yu Shangshu was two years younger than himself, and now he had his grandson.

"Remember, tomorrow someone will go to Shangshu Mansion to send a congratulatory gift." The emperor ordered the eunuchs around him.

Seeing that the emperor was a little depressed, several ministers also retired, and the emperor returned to the harem.

Seeing that he was not very happy, the queen stepped forward and asked, "Is there a minister in the court today who has made Your Majesty angry?" ”

"When will the minister make me angry?" The emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "I just think that I am old, although I have a son, I don't have a grandson, and I can't help but feel a little lonely." ”

"The emperor remembered Wen'er's marriage again, right?" The queen also said with some concern.

"It's good not to mention him, I get angry when I mention it, today I heard the minister's discussion that I knew that his marriage branch had been open for many days, but he didn't report it to you and me, he can put you and me in his eyes?!" The emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, Wen'er is not that unfilial person, presumably for another reason, wait for me to invite him into the palace to ask." The Empress hastened to appease the enraged Emperor.

The so-called no enmity is not a father and son, although the emperor reiterated Tu Wen, but the father and son often couldn't say three words when they met, so even if Shen Tuwen was called into the palace for a while, the emperor had to avoid it first, and she, the mother, would ask first and then talk.

In the afternoon of this day, Shen Tuwen rode to the palace, and when he saw the queen, he saluted and stood aside.

"A few days ago, you went to patrol the border and hurriedly came to see the queen mother, and there were a lot of things that I had time to talk about in detail at that time," the queen said and made a cup of tea in person and brought it to Shen Tuwen: "The queen mother never blames you, but I just hope you tell the truth, today your father came back and was furious, saying that I heard from the ministers that your marriage branch has already opened, is this true?" ”

"It's true," Shen Tuwen did not retort: "Just last month." ”

"Then why didn't you say it?" The queen couldn't help but ask.

"The prince knows about this," Shen Tuwen threw the pot out: "Erchen thinks that he must have already told his father and queen mother." ”

"You two are really-" The queen shook her head helplessly, the two sons she gave birth to were unwilling to tell her about anything, could it be that the emperor's family was so ruthless?
