Everyone whispered, not daring to amplify their voices, for fear of offending the new Shen Guifei.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Concubine Shen walked over and saluted.

Lu Yunzhao was unhappy in his heart, but he still spoke: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to be polite. Why did Concubine Ai come? ”

"The concubines heard that the emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain the adults, so she specially brought her daughters over to join in the fun."

Concubine Shen whispered softly, and was slightly stunned after catching a glimpse of Lu Jingqian sitting next to Lu Yunzhao.

And sure enough, he was.

Lu Jingqian saw Concubine Shen staring at him, and looked away quietly, as if he hadn't noticed Concubine Shen's existence just now.

"Oh......" Lu Yunzhao nodded, didn't say anything else, turned to look at Shen, and said:

"Since you're here, sit down and have a drink."

"Yes." Concubine Shen complied, taking her daughters' hands and slowly sitting down.

"Jing Qian." Lu Yunzhao looked at Lu Jingqian and said solemnly: "You haven't recovered yet, don't drink today." ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father." Lu Jingqian said lightly.

Lu Yunzhao nodded with satisfaction, and then admonished: "You have to pay attention to your body, don't be reckless." ”

"Yes, Father." Lu Jingqian said.

"Alright, let's eat." Lu Yunzhao waved his hand.

The banquet went very smoothly, during which the staggered planning was staggered, the cups were pushed and the lamps were changed, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After the dinner, the ministers of culture and military affairs left one after another.

"Father, the son sends all the adults."

"Hmm." Lu Yunzhao nodded and left first.

"The emperor wants to go to the concubine's bedroom to rest?" Concubine Shen said respectfully with her three daughters.

Lu Yunzhao glanced at the three Shen family members and said lightly: "I'm tired, go back to the dormitory to rest." ”

"Yes, the concubine (son-in-law) has retired." The three of Shen said in unison.

Lu Yunzhao turned around and walked in the direction of the dormitory of Qianyuan Palace.

"The concubine (son-in-law) sends off Your Majesty."

After Lu Yunzhao walked away, the Shen family looked indifferent and looked at the two daughters: "The three of you go back to Linghu Palace with me." ”

Linghu Palace is the palace where the Shen family lives, and its location is remote and quiet, and it is the farthest away from the Taiji Palace.

Lu Yue'er and Lu Xing'er glanced at each other and said obediently: "Yes, mother." ”

Inside the Tai Chi Hall......

"Someone!"

"The slave is here." Xiaolian hurriedly walked in.

"Go and call Grandpa Li." Lu Yunzhao commanded, and Xiaolian summoned her father-in-law over soon after receiving the order.

Lu Yunzhao leaned on the soft pillow, his eyes slightly closed, waiting for Father-in-law Ning to come over, and asked at the same time, "Father-in-law Li, who is guarding the imperial garden today?" ”

"It's a small library." Gonggong Li replied.

"Go and call him."

Hearing this, Gonggong Li hurriedly left the room.

A moment later, a man in a dusty suit came in trembling and fell to his knees.

"Slaves see the emperor."

"Flat." Lu Yunzhao opened his eyes, glanced at him sharply, and said, "What did you do in the Imperial Garden today?" ”

The man trembled and raised his head in fear: "Emperor...... The emperor spared his life, but the slave didn't do anything, really. ”

"I want the truth." Lu Yunzhao snorted coldly.

The man shuddered for a moment, and eagerly argued, "The slave really didn't do anything. ”

"Oh?" Lu Yunzhao raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth raised an arc that seemed to be smiling: "Really didn't do anything?" ”

"Yes, the minions really didn't do anything." The man kowtowed desperately.

"I ask you again, did you really do nothing?" Lu Yunzhao's voice suddenly increased.

The man was taken aback and said in a panic: "I really didn't do it...... Minions don't have ......"

Bang –

Lu Yunzhao slammed over the teapot, and the hot tea spilled on the man's body.

"Ahh

"Still say no?" Lu Yunzhao stood up, looked at the man condescendingly, and scolded angrily:

"The daring dog thing dares to disrespect the order!"

"Ask the emperor for forgiveness, and the slave will know that he is wrong......"

The man cried, "The slave will not dare anymore...... Woohoo......"

"I'll let you make it clear." Lu Yunzhao shouted loudly.

The man shrank for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The slave should die...... The minions shouldn't let Shen Niangniang enter the Imperial Garden......"

Lu Yunzhao hooked his lips with satisfaction when he heard this: "Very good, since this is the case, you can go to the lake in the Imperial Garden to soak." ”

"The emperor spares his life!" The man cried.

"Go ahead, remember, you have to soak enough before you can come back."

"Don't......" The man's mournful cry resounded throughout the room, but he couldn't stop Lu Yunzhao's ruthless determination.

"Someone's coming!" Lu Yunzhao shouted at the door.

The eunuch who was guarding the door immediately rushed in.

"Drag it away." Lu Yunzhao said lightly.

"Yes!" The eunuch immediately dragged the man out of the door.

"The emperor spares his life, the slave really knows that he is wrong......" the man cried.

Lu Yunzhao waved his hand in disgust, and the eunuch directly blocked the man's mouth and dragged him out of the door.

"Bang-"

Silence returned to the room as the door closed heavily.

Lu Yunzhao rubbed his forehead, sighed tiredly, turned over to the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Eldest Princess's Mansion......

"Jing Qian, you're finally back." Lu Luoxi finished buying the shop, but when he returned to the house, he didn't see Lu Jingqian.

If you want to say that Lu Jingqian should have returned from the next dynasty a long time ago, he would not be in the mansion at this time. I sent someone to the hall of the palace to find out that the emperor set up a banquet for the seven princes in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust, so I was relieved.

"Sister, don't worry about me." Lu Jingqian was moved when he saw Lu Luoxi's look of such concern.

Although I don't like to participate in any banquets, but the emperor's decree is like a mountain, how can I refuse.

"Hmm." Lu Luoxi smiled and nodded.

"It's windy outside, go back to the house and sit, I'll ask the maid to boil some ginger soup for you to ward off the cold." Lu Luoxi said instead.

"Okay." Lu Jingqian bowed his head slightly and agreed, and followed Lu Luoxi back to the house and sat down.

"I've seen the Prime Minister." Lu Jingqian said.

"You and I don't have to be polite." Shen Zeyang said softly.

Soon, the ginger soup was served. Lu Jingqian took a few sips, and his body was really much warmer.

The three of them sat together in the living room, and Lu Luoxi spoke at the right time: "Jingqian, can everything go well when you enter the palace today?" ”

"All right, sister. There's just one thing that's very strange. Lu Jingqian said slowly.

"Oh? Tell me something. Lu Luoxi liked to listen to this kind of gossip very much, so he said with interest.

"That's right, I was in Ru's study today, and Zhen Guohou suddenly came to meet me.

It is said that the prince of Zhenguo Hou Shizi was ordered to send an envoy to Jiangnan for disaster relief, but he encountered an assassin on the way and was seriously injured, and begged his father to allow him to enter Beijing to recuperate. Lu Yunzhao shared what he saw and heard in the imperial study room with Lu Luoxi and Shen Zeyang.

"What is the emperor's attitude?" Shen Zeyang suddenly asked.

"This is also what I feel a little strange, my father pondered for a moment and actually agreed."
