When the sun was shining outside the house, Wang Xiaolai woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes and saw the surrounding situation clearly, he was stunned.

I actually stayed in Shou'an Palace all night yesterday.

looked left and right, he was lying on the table, and he was still wearing a quilt on his body.

"Lord Waiting, you're awake."

At this time, Qiulan, the maid in the empress's palace, walked in with a basin of water, saw Wang Xiaolai, and smiled.

It was also the little girl's eyes that were strange and smiling, so that Wang Xiaolai didn't dare to look up.

"Your Majesty said, let the squire wake up and go to the imperial study."

Qiulan put down the basin.

"That, what about Your Majesty now?" Wang Xiaolai asked.

Qiulan glanced at the sky outside and said with a playful smile: "It's all this time, where does Lord Shizhong think His Majesty is?" ”

Wang Xiaolai was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly washed his face and walked out of Shou'an Palace, all the way to the direction of the imperial study.

When he arrived, the empress was sitting behind the dragon book case in the imperial study, and on the ground, there was still Grandpa Le.

"Zhao Weng handed over the twelve rooms to you, do it with your heart, don't let me down, don't let Zhao Weng down." The empress is fair.

Le Gonggong slammed his head and kowtowed: "The slave will do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust and the high hopes of Zhao Mink Temple." ”

"Well, let's go down first."

"Yes."

Here, Father-in-law Le got up and left, and when he saw Wang Xiaolai standing at the door, he bowed his hand and saluted.

As soon as he moved, the empress also noticed Wang Xiaolai at the door, and a smile appeared on her face at that time: "Little Laizi, are you here?" ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted, stepped up, glanced at the empress's expression, and was already back to the beginning, which was completely different from the drunken empress last night.

Just as he was about to speak, the empress interrupted him: "You came just in time, and they will come over later, so you will work with Lao Xiangguo to help me think about how to welcome Lu Gong's victory and return to the court." ”

Wang Xiaolai agreed, and went over to sit under the empress.

The empress didn't pay much attention to Wang Xiaolai, she crouched beside the case, and kept correcting the folds, completely looking like she had worked tirelessly in the past.

Wang Xiaolai just stared at the empress, and at the same time he was still wondering in his heart, saying that this was the drunken empress last night?

Is the ability to adjust so perverted?

"Little Laizi, what do you always look at me? Haven't I washed my face? ”

Just as Wang Xiaolai was in a trance, the empress couldn't help but ask.

Wang Xiaolai was excited, shook it a few times, and then shook his head hurriedly: "No, no." ”

At this moment, Narcissus came in from outside, holding a tray in his hand, and on the tray, was a fresh sour fish soup used to relieve hangover.

"Your Majesty, the sobering soup is ready."

When Narcissus came, he still spoke.

The empress snorted and pointed to the head of the table with her chin: "Put it down, I'll drink it in a while." ”

"Yes."

Then, the empress faced Wang Xiaolai and asked, "Do you want to drink some?" You drank a lot of wine yesterday. ”

Wang Xiaolai hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'll forget it, Your Majesty, drink it." ”

The empress smiled when she heard this, picked up the exquisite porcelain bowl on the tray, filled a full bowl and handed it to Wang Xiaolai, and said, "Yesterday, it was thanks to you that I didn't make a joke, come on, I invited you." ”

Wang Xiaolai took the bowl in his hand in a daze, looked at the empress and asked, "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary last night, right?" ”

The empress glanced at Wang Xiaolai, with a strange smile on her face: "What did you do, don't you remember, and let me remind you?" ”

"Uh..."

glanced at the narcissus next to him, twisted his eyebrows and stared, eager to eat his expression.

Seeing this, the empress giggled, and Wang Xiaolai also saw that this was the empress playing with herself.

Hurriedly picked up the fish soup and swallowed it in a big gulp, put down the bowl, Wang Xiaolai lowered his head with a weak heart.

The empress also asked him with a smile: "You drank so fast, aren't you hot?" ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

Talking and chatting, he walked in a yellow door outside, and said, "Your Majesty, Lao Xiangguo and others have arrived, and they are waiting for the decree outside the door." ”

When the empress heard this, she raised her head, put down the bowl, and said, "Let the old Xiangguo come in." ”

As he spoke, he also instructed Narcissus: "Remove these." ”

Liu Maolin, Fan Lin and others strode into the imperial study, hugged their fists early, shouted to see Your Majesty, and knelt down to perform the courtesy of a monarch and minister.

The empress was polite: "You love Qing Ping." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

sat down in the main order, and before he could speak, he saw clearly Wang Xiaolai, who was sitting with the empress, and the old Xiangguo saw it, bowed his head and thought, and said in his heart that this Wang Xiaolai came early enough.

"Today, I invite you to come, because I have a happy event to announce."

Lao Xiangguo was stunned when he heard this, looked at Wang Xiaolai who bowed his head and was shy, and then looked at the empress with a high-spirited look, and said in his heart at that time, he said no, could it be that His Majesty decided to announce the matter with Wang Xiaolai?

It shouldn't be, I didn't say this at the beginning of the year, how did I think about it at this time, you know, it's still going on now, you're the king of a country, and you're in the harem at this time, cough cough, of course, this statement may be a little disrespectful to Wang Xiaolai, but that's the case, who made the empress the son of heaven.

At this time, how do the soldiers who are fighting on the front line think?

has already made up his mind in his heart, Liu Maolin feels that no matter what, he must stop the empress, from the righteousness of various monarchs and ministers.

Thinking of this, Liu Maolin secretly cheered himself up.

But it turns out that it is indeed Liu Maolin who thinks too much.

I saw that the empress cleared her throat, picked up a fold from the dragon book case, opened it, and said, "Everyone, this is the fold sent by Lu Gong yesterday evening. ”

When he heard Lu Gongyou's name, more than a dozen civil and military personnel, including Liu Maolin, were taken aback.

Lu Wu's excerpt, needless to say, it must be a good thing.

Sure enough, I saw the empress smile and said: "Lu Gong has already said, eight days ago, the thirteen Rong troops under Nurhari have been defeated and fled, 130,000 people, including Nurhari, only a few hundred people fled back to the west, Lu Gongsuo's department, beheading and captives, right now, Lu Chengcheng is repairing in Yongzhou, and I will send the officials who govern Yongliang and Yongliang as soon as possible, you are all my old ministers of Suiyang, what are the recommended candidates?" Well? ”

Liu Maolin and the others looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of excitement on each other's faces, and they all stood up with Hula Noise: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lu Hou Ye is brave and invincible, and he exterminated the rebels in the western realm, in fact, I am very fortunate in Sui Yang. ”

The empress was happy, and when she saw it, she was really happy.

"Congratulations and wait for the exemption, after the Lu Gong class returns to the court, I and Zhu Aiqing will go to the Lu Gong Mansion to congratulate them, the current situation is to restore the Yongliang Erzhou as soon as possible, and find someone to replace Lu Gong, after all, Zhao Sui's traitor has been arrogant for a long time."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

"Old Xiangguo, do you have anyone to recommend?" The Empress asked.

Hearing the empress's words, Liu Maolin sighed.

The empress looked at him: "Old Xiangguo, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Maolin stood up and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, the old minister does have a candidate in his heart, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

The empress said: "Speak." ”

Liu Maolin said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Lu Yiping, the former head of the household department? ”

The expression on the empress's face did not fluctuate: "Good and dignified, what did the old minister do with him?" ”

Liu Maolin said: "Your Majesty, although Lu Yiping is said to have committed an unforgivable sin, but this person has been running the household department for 20 years, and he has rich experience. ”

The empress sighed, and there was no follow-up.

Liu Maolin didn't know what the empress was thinking, and he didn't know how to continue.

After a long time, the empress asked the rest of the people: "Do you have a good recommendation?" ”

The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.

Seeing this, the empress frowned involuntarily, then turned her head, stared at Wang Xiaolai, and looked at Wang Xiaolai with a sigh in her heart, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't count on me, I can be said to know nothing about governing places." ”

The empress took a sip: "Go, let you go to govern Yongliang, I'm still afraid that you will make a fuss in Yongliang, I am asking you if you have any good candidates to recommend." ”
