There was a slight commotion at the entrance of the garden.

Mo Lingwei immediately looked over, but saw that it was Wei Shangshu who was surrounded by several officials.

He looked away in disinterestedness.

Wei Shangshu walked all the way to the round table on Mo Lingwei's right hand side.

At this moment, there are already three adults seated, they are General Zhennan, the Prime Minister and the old lady.

are all powerful humerus ministers in the court.

Wei Shangshu's position was naturally assigned to this table.

He smiled and bowed to the three of them, except for the prime minister, who didn't pay much attention to him, and the other two returned the salute.

The old lady was curious: "Lord Wei, I heard that the emperor invited Ling Ai to come to the palace for a banquet, why don't you see this Miss Funu?" ”

Wei Shangshu had a regretful look on his face: "The little girl went to Xitai Village a few days ago to open a shed to give porridge, and after she came back, she fell ill with summer fever. ”

"There is such a thing." The old lady shook her head silently: "That's the old man is not blessed, I can't see Ling Ai calling the rain on the spot." ”

Wei Shangpi didn't smile: "Taifu, you are laughing." ”

General Zhennan has a straightforward temperament, doesn't like to deal with people, and is the only military general at this table.

This will listen to them play their wits, just drink tea in silence cup by cup.

Wei Shangshu twisted his face and looked at the prime minister who was sitting on the side, also silent.

The prime minister is over 30 years old, and today he is wearing a green crane robe, his eyebrows and eyes are handsome, but he is not warm, and his eyes that are occasionally raised are always a little sharp.

Wei Shangshu asked with concern: "Prime Minister, I heard that you have been sick for many days, and you have been getting better recently?" ”

The prime minister's expression was indifferent, and his slender hand held a folding fan together, which showed his temperament even more breezy and moony.

"It's not good." His voice was cold, and his answers were very direct.

Obviously, the prime minister did not intend to deal with Wei Shangshu.

Wei Shangshu only felt a choke in his throat, and he forgot what he wanted to say.

He looked at General Zhennan again, and before Wei Shangshu could say hello, General Zhennan said, "The emperor is here." ”

The emperor was surrounded by people, followed by the graceful and luxurious Concubine Li.

Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, and the emperor raised his hand with a smile: "Today is Ling Wei's birthday, everyone gathers together, it is comparable to a family banquet, so there is no need to be polite." ”

With that, he took Concubine Li and sat down on Mo Lingwei's left hand.

The emperor smiled at Mo Lingwei and said, "Let's start the banquet, I'm here." ”

Mo Lingwei wrinkled his eyebrows: "Wait, someone didn't come." ”

The emperor was stunned.

I thought this kid was waiting for him!

Concubine Li played a round and said in a gentle voice: "Ling Wei, the emperor knows that it is your birthday, so he specially pushed the government affairs queen to come, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a while and will leave." You see that everyone is here, why don't we start? ”

Mo Lingwei glanced at her coldly: "My birthday, it's not your right to speak, keep your mouth shut, or get out." ”

In front of so many people, the prince directly didn't give Concubine Li a good face!

Concubine Li's expression froze, and she was a little embarrassed.

The emperor had a solemn face: "Lingwei!" How do you speak? Concubine Li is your elder after all. ”

"I'm going to wait for Shen Ningning, Chen Shaobei has already gone to pick it up." Mo Lingwei's tone was incomprehensible.

The emperor listened.

Oh...... Shen Ningning.

He softened his face again: "Then wait, everyone waits together." ”

The big eunuch asked the palace maid to serve melons and fruits and snacks, and added tea and poured water.

The ministers also chatted warmly with the people around them.

During this period, Wei Shangshu took the initiative to walk to the emperor's side and apologized for explaining that his daughter could not come to the banquet.

Concubine Li sang and harmonized with him, and she was very concerned.

"What? Fu'er doesn't matter, right? ”

"I took the medicine, and I was still groggy this morning, so I couldn't come."

The emperor seemed to be smiling, playing with the Buddha beads in his hand, which were the same beads as the one in Mo Lingwei's hand.

He said slowly: "If you are sick, you have to take care of it, this rain, it won't work if it doesn't rain, Wei Aiqing, don't you say?" ”

Wei Shangshu broke out in cold sweat on his back, and he had to pretend to be ordinary on his face.

He nodded: "The emperor is right." ”

Wei Shangshu slid back to his place.

The emperor just said that, could it be that he completely doubted the identity of his daughter Wei Yufu's blessed daughter?

The prime minister, who has always been calm and indifferent, suddenly opened his mouth and asked the general Zhennan beside him: "Prince Fangcai said that he has to wait for someone, listen to the name, it seems to have a Ning character?" ”

General Zhennan happened to have heard of Shen Ningning.

His son Chen Shaobei followed the prince and mentioned countless times that Shen Ningning was very important to the prince.

He replied in a deep voice, "It's a girl who once saved the prince's life." ”

"Girls?" The prime minister squeezed the folding fan: "How big?" ”

General Zhennan thought hesitantly: "Six or seven years old, right?" ”

The prime minister's dark and seeping thin eyes revealed a trace of disappointment: "So big? What's the last name? ”

"The surname is Shen."

"Shen ......" The prime minister listened, and his tone was even more dull.

Didn't seem to get the answer he heard.

General Zhennan nodded: "If the Prime Minister is curious, you can see her when she comes." ”

Before the prime minister could speak, the old lady next to him stared at Wei Shangshu, stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Wei, you don't look very good, are you worried about your daughter at home?" ”

Wei Shangshu scolded this old thing angrily in his heart, always waiting for an opportunity to find trouble for him.

On his face, he also followed the old lady's words and said: "Yes, the little girl is very sick, and the emperor is also concerned about her begging for rain." ”

"Tsk!" The old lady shook her head: "The so-called Buyun Shi Yu, if it really depends on a little doll, then what is the use of those immortals in the sky?" ”

"I think that what the national teacher said back then was also false, the heavens are ruthless, and the emperor is benevolent and has all kinds of hopes, but whether Ling Ai can really summon Yunyu, Lord Wei, who is a father, should know better than anyone else."

Wei Shangshu's eyes were a little gloomy: "Taifu, what do you mean by this?" ”

The old lady stroked her beard with a smile and ignored him.

The prime minister sitting on the side said coldly at this time: "What Taifu said is not unreasonable. ”

"If Lord Wei really loves her daughter, it's best to clarify the remarks of the blessed girl for her, otherwise one day she won't be able to summon the rain, won't she be laughed at by everyone?"

General Zhennan also nodded silently: "That's the reason." ”

The name of the blessed girl sounds good, but looking at Wei Shangshu's daughter, she is not good from time to time, but she is not less severely criticized by the emperor.

If you really love your daughter, you will hide it, and you would rather not let her fight for the name of a blessed girl, but let her grow up safely.

The prime minister's expression was a little abrupt, and he didn't know what he thought, and his eyes became a little melancholy.

He coughed lightly, and the little guy behind him immediately stepped forward: "Your Excellency......"

The prime minister vomited blood a few times, and his body was very indebted, so it was time to go back and drink medicine.

"It's okay, the prince's birthday, sit down again." The prime minister said lightly.

He wanted to wait and see what the little girl surnamed Shen looked like.

Wei Shangshu was speechless angrily.

There was no one at this table who said anything he liked to hear.

After two rounds of tea, Chen Shaobei has not yet brought Shen Ningning into the palace.

The emperor looked at Mo Lingwei: "I've been waiting for half an hour, Ling Wei, are you still waiting?" ”

Mo Lingwei's eyes were dark and gloomy: "Wait." She will definitely come. ”

Shen Ningning promised him, she will not forget.

At this moment, Chen Shaobei's figure finally appeared at the gate of the garden.

Mo Lingwei's thin eyes that were deep and opaque finally showed a smile.
