Mu Xiaoxiao followed Gao Zhao back to Wutong Palace, Kite Dai was preparing a meal, and when she saw Mu Xiaoxiao and Gao Zhao coming back together, she knelt on the top and saluted: "The emperor is safe." ”

"No courtesy. Gao Zhao sat at the table, Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to sit down directly, but when he saw the salute that Iris Dai had just done, he didn't know what to do for a while. Gao Zhao said informally: "Sit." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao sat opposite him at this time, and Gao Zhao elegantly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a green vegetable.

After the meal, Gao Zhao picked up the book and read it as before, and Yuan Dai lit the candle flame and picked the candle heart, and the room suddenly lit up a lot.

Excellence was guarding outside, he looked around, and sure enough, it was still more comfortable here, and the Zhenghe Hall was full of a sense of depression, and it couldn't be compared with the Wutong Palace at all.

Hibiscus stood by the window for a long time, and when the night fell, the stars shone brightly, and he did not move. The dark room suddenly lit up with an orange light, and he moved his stiff legs.

"Childe, you've been standing for a long time, have a cup of tea. Wufeng poured a glass of water with a worried face.

Hibiscus didn't speak, and slowly sat down in front of the bed, Xiaobai fluttered his wings and flew to the windless arm, and he took out a few dried meat from the cloth bag and fed it to it.

Mu Hibiscus reopened the note in his hand, which read: "The original heart has hated the late flowering period, and the lovesickness will grow in the eyes." He lit the note, and the fire shone on his face, flashing back and forth.

On the second day, Mu Xiaoxiao was guarding the gate of the Zhenghe Hall early in the morning, and when Xiaoluzi came out, he was startled, and he was surprised: "Lord Mu?"

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and grinned: "Father-in-law Lu." ”

"Why are you here?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the two little fathers-in-law who were keeping vigil, and reprimanded: "What are you going to do, let Master Mu stay here, and don't make a sound, it's all itchy, right?"

The two little fathers-in-law knelt on the ground in fright, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Mu Xiaoxiao explained: "No matter what they do, I don't let them say it. She looked at Xiao Luzi: "Father-in-law Lu, you can talk to the prince, I want to see him." ”

"Ouch, you wait. Then he went to report it.

Gao Zhao, who was changing clothes, heard Mu Xiaoxiao stay all night, waved his hand and retreated the maid, turned around and said, "Let him come in." ”

Father-in-law Lu looked surprised: "Here?"

Gao Zhao didn't speak, his face was just not very good, Xiao Luzi was startled, so he answered and went out to call Mu Xiaoxiao.

When she entered the hall, Gao Zhao was sitting at the dining table drinking tea, and Mu Xiaoxiao said cautiously: "Your Highness!"

Gao Zhao's heart was originally a little irritated, but when he heard her somewhat flattering voice, he dispersed most of it. He looked up at her, "Sit down." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao sat obediently across from him.

Gao Zhao put down the tea, and the maid put on a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and he pointed to the things on the table: "These have your favorite food." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao was full of worries, how could she have the heart to eat, she instinctively wanted to refuse, but she only heard Gao Zhao say: "You didn't break in yesterday, and you can be regarded as doing the right thing." Don't do anything that violates the rules of the palace. After speaking, he sandwiched a crystal dumpling and put it in her bowl: "You can only go to court when you are full." ”

When Mu Xiaoxiao heard his words, her heart suddenly relaxed, she picked up the dumplings, stuffed them into her mouth, and smiled happily at Gao Zhao.

Gao Zhao also sandwiched one, well, it's not quite the same as usual, today's dumplings are really delicious. The two of them had breakfast and went to the council hall together.

Mu Xiaoxiao was about to go in with Gao Zhao, he suddenly turned around and looked at the person who didn't have time to close his feet and was only a finger away from him: "No matter what happens, don't be impulsive." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao thought that if she could see Mu Hibiscus, what else would make her impulsive, so she nodded happily, Gao Zhao saw that she was in an extremely happy mood, and couldn't help frowning.

Entering the hall, Mu Xiaoxiao stood in the team of Sanpin officials with her head down, and when everyone reported the court affairs one by one, she raised her head and looked left and right, but found nothing. That familiar person didn't show up here at all.

She looked disappointed at the ministers who were arguing because of their disagreement, and couldn't help but feel funny. Adults bite each other like children.

"Master Zhang, my son said, your girl slapped him first before he fought back. A middle-aged man in his forties shouted.

"You bullied me, and she can't fight back?" said a man with a beard.

"The children you taught yourself don't have a trace of respect for your husband, are you embarrassed to say?" the middle-aged man looked disdainful.

"Didn't you teach your children too? "The bearded man was not to be outdone.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Gao Zhao, his face was dark and terrifying, but the people below didn't know it at all.

"Why are these two adults arguing in front of the palace?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked softly.

"Well, you don't know anything. The person who was asked pointed to the middle-aged man and said: "That's Lord Li, the other is Lord Chen, the two families are in-laws, the daughter of Lord Chen has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and after marrying into the Li family, she beats her husband every day, the Li family wants to reconcile and leave, the Chen family does not agree, no, yesterday the Chen family girl beat the son of the Li family to the point that the leg bones are broken, and now the two families are looking for a new monarch theory and let the judge judge." The man looked like he was watching a play.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked around, and the ministers all looked like they were watching the show, and some of them had a forbearant expression.

"How can this matter be said in the court?" Mu Xiaoxiao said casually.

"These two are the old ministers of the Jin Kingdom, when the emperor was in power before, they gave them two as lobbyists, and now that the new monarch has just ascended the throne, they will pretend to be normal again. The man shook his head.

The two were still arguing, Gao Zhao's face was getting more and more ugly, and the two of them just quarreled and didn't notice it.

Mu Xiaoxiao saw that this was the fault of the first emperor, she puffed up her breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty!"

Originally, there were only their voices in the main hall, but suddenly another voice interrupted their heated discussion, and the two looked at the blind man with dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty. Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Gao Zhao: "State affairs are so busy, as a courtier, I have waited for so long and I haven't waited for the opportunity to play, why don't the emperor invite the two adults out of the palace first, let them say why they come, and then find His Highness to be the master!"

As soon as the two of them heard that she wanted the emperor to drive the two out of the palace, they were furious, and the two of them said to her at the same time: "You are so bold!" The middle-aged man said: "I have been an official for many years, and I have never met a villain like you. ”

The bearded man said, "That's it." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Gao Zhao's face eased a lot, and she knew that she was looking for the right symptoms, and she said loudly: "The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting for the important affairs of the state to be played, and the trivial matters of the two of you families are still coming to trouble the emperor to solve them for you?"

The middle-aged man said: "How can this be a trivial matter? This pro was personally decided by the emperor, since it was ordered by the royal family, of course it should be managed by the royal family?"

The bearded man nodded, "That's it!"

"Oh, then dare to ask my lord, which area are you in charge of?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked him rhetorically.

The middle-aged man looked proud: "The lower officials are not talented, and they govern the land and farming in Jingting." ”

"My lord, are the people's taxes handled by you personally?"

"That's it!"

"My lord, since the people have paid the taxes, have you gone to drive cattle and plough the land for the people, and sow and reap?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gao Zhao again.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and mocked: "The ministers of a country are not worried about the king, but always put family affairs in the court, delaying the time of the entire government and the opposition." The first emperor kindly let the two families get married, you are not grateful, but pampered and arrogant, is it possible that the emperor helped the two of you get married, and he still has to help you dig a pit for you to have children and raise grandchildren, and pee?"

The faces of the two men were white and blue, and they were speechless.

A minister who had endured it for a long time seconded: "That's it, you are like this, the court affairs are on hold, are you responsible?"

"Your Majesty, please invite the two ministers out to talk about family affairs, the ministers still have important things to tell here,"

"The minister is too, the minister is in a hurry!"

Gao Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiaoluzi, invite the two adults out." In the future, if anyone has family matters to discuss, they can take leave at home and come out after they are settled.

"Yes!" Xiao Luzi said in a strange tone, "Please! ”

The two people looked around, then at Mu Xiaoxiao, and then bowed to Gao Zhao and retreated.

The ministers took out their own recitals and handed them in, and the morning court affairs were disposed of.

After going down, Gao Zhao was in a wrong mood, he called Mu Xiaoxiao and left her in the Zhenghe Palace.
