Glancing at the ornaments on the beautiful woman's head again, Du Jinning hurriedly made a big salute: "Minister Du Jinning, please say hello to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Lu." ”

When Empress Dowager Zheng saw Du Jinning's unusually handsome appearance, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she said lightly: "Let's be flat." ”

Du Jinning stood up, stepped aside, and made way for Empress Dowager Zheng's mother and daughter.

The people in the house heard the movement outside, and Gonggong Wu hurriedly greeted him: "The Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng bowed slightly, walked in, and said to Zhao Yu: "The mourning family heard that the eunuch said that you forgot to eat at noon, so I came over to take a look, what happened." ”

Zhao Yu took a look at the drip in the room, and found that it had already passed noon, and it was already afternoon time.

It was close to noon when he was in the morning, and he wanted to know Du Jinning's thoughts, so he didn't pay attention to the time and announced Du Jinning's coming. I just talked about it, but I forgot about it.

When he discussed important matters with his ministers, the eunuchs did not dare to interrupt him. Usually he would go to eat with his mother at noon, but when he didn't see him at this time, the Queen Mother naturally wanted to ask, and when she saw that the time was too late, she naturally couldn't help but come over to remind him.

He said with a smile: "In the future, when this happens, the queen mother will send a palace maid eunuch to come over and say goodbye, there is no need to come over in person." ”

As he spoke, he said to the little eunuch next to him: "Let's see if Master Du is gone, leave him behind if he doesn't leave, and have a meal." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly walked out, and saw the young and handsome Lord Du standing there with a bitter face, and the eldest princess of the Lu country talking about something with excitement on her face.

The queen mother in the house also found that her daughter who was following her was missing.

Qi Bokun, the minister, is still here, and the Queen Mother should have saved face for her daughter. But thinking about her daughter's virtue, she couldn't help but say to the palace maid: "Go and call the eldest princess in." ”

Outside the hall, Du Jinning was already hungry, Zhao Yu asked her to go back, she thought she could go back for lunch, but who knew that she was stopped by Zhao Mingyue, and asked her the follow-up plot questions of "Farming" one by one.

Is she hungry? In order to order the meal, she ate breakfast at five o'clock in the morning. Now look at the sky, I'm afraid it won't be two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhao Mingyue saw that she was alone, and Du Jinning didn't answer a word, and she was suddenly unhappy.

Du Jinning was about to speak, when a loud "grunting" sound came from his stomach.

The two were stunned, and Zhao Mingyue laughed "poof".

At this time, the little eunuch came in time to convey Zhao Yu's will.

The palace maid sent by the Empress Dowager Zheng also came: "Princess, the Empress Dowager called you into the palace." ”

Du Jinning was actually very reluctant to go back, eating with Zhao Yu, she was afraid of indigestion. But the emperor's will did not dare not listen. She had to agree, and when she saw Zhao Mingyue going to the hall, she slowly followed behind and entered the hall together.

Seeing Zhao Mingyue and Du Jinning walking in one after the other, Empress Dowager Zheng's face was a little unsightly, and she said to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty, you have a good meal, and Mingyue and I will go back." He didn't even look at Zhao Mingyue, turned around and left.

Zhao Mingyue also knew why her mother was unhappy, bit her lip, glanced up at Du Jinning, turned around and followed her mother away.

Seeing that the powerful Empress Dowager Zheng left, and the annoying Zhao Mingyue also followed, Du Jinning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yu said that he was eating together, but in fact he was not, but he gave some food, and let Qi Bokun and Du Jinning eat in a side hall, and he himself ate alone. After all, he is the emperor, and in order to prevent others from poisoning, the rules for eating are relatively large, and it is not appropriate to eat with his courtiers.

Seeing this, Du Jinning breathed a sigh of relief.

When I returned to Hanlin Courtyard, I saw Qi Muyuan pacing back and forth in the room with anxiety on his face. When he saw her come back, he hurriedly greeted her and asked; "Why is it so long?" Then he asked, "Have you eaten?" I'll keep the food from the cafeteria. If you want to eat it, I'll give you a hot one. ”

Wei Tong, who followed up after hearing the news, listened to it and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lord Qi to be still considerate." ”

Du Jinning glanced at Wei Tong and Yao Rongguan who came out of the house, and said to Qi Muyuan with a smile: "I didn't eat, I'll do it myself." ”

As he spoke, he asked Wei Tong again, "Does Lord Wei have something to explain?" ”

Wei Tong naturally came to inquire about the news.

At this time, seeing that Du Jinning looked like he was in a hurry to go back to the house for dinner, he didn't want to talk at length, so he only said: "Lord Deng called a certain person to ask, what is the emperor's will?" ”

Du Jinning shook his head and said: "The emperor knows that I wrote "Farming", so he is very interested, and he asks more questions. When he had finished asking, he told me to step down, but he didn't say what he wanted. ”

She smiled: "Even if the emperor has any will, he will not let me bring it, and he will definitely send a eunuch to give an order to Lord Chengzhi." ”

Wei Tong smiled: "In this case, I won't disturb Master Du's meal, I'll go ahead." With that, he turned and walked away.

Du Jinning ignored Yao Rongguan and went straight into Qi Muyuan's house: "Where is the rice?" I take it hot. Seeing that Yao Rongguan didn't follow up, she whispered to Qi Muyuan, "I ate with your grandfather in front of the palace." ”

……

In the main hall, after Du Jinning left, Qi Bokun was called to the study by Zhao Yu again, and Zhao Yu asked: "If I want to send someone to Guangdong to take charge of industrial and commercial affairs, who does Lord Qi think it is good to send?" ”

Qi Bokun knew what Zhao Yu meant as soon as he heard it, and asked, "Does the emperor want to send Du Jinning over?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "These suggestions were put forward and perfected by him. Although Du Jinning is young, he has a quick mind and a broad vision. You've praised him for his prowess before. I felt that he was the only one to be sent to take care of this. ”

Qi Bokun did not speak.

He knew that Zhao Yu's words were not finished.

Sure enough, Zhao Yu then said: "But he has only been in Hanlin for a few days, and he has not yet been cultivated and experienced. Just sent him to let him go, I was reluctant. ”

Du Jinning is so talented, he wants to cultivate Du Jinning as a minister of Hongguo. Just let it out, he was worried that Du Jinning would be criticized when he entered the cabinet in the future.

Moreover, he has no political achievements. Suddenly he was released, and he was promoted by one or two levels, and I had no reason to convince the ministers. ”

Qi Bokun also did not approve of Du Jinning's foreign appointment.

Du Jinning is his very optimistic junior, and he expects Du Jinning to enter the cabinet, and after his speech, he assists Zhao Yu to govern the Great Song Dynasty better.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the minister has a good candidate. ”

"Oh, who is it?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Guan Lehe."

"Guan Lehe?" Zhao Yu frowned and thought about it.

There are too many ministers in the court. Like Guan Lehe, although he is qualified to go to the court, he stands at the very end, and has no sense of existence at all, Zhao Yu has no impression of him at all.
