After Lu Chen learned from Xiao Yun and said his excuse that was purely used to deal with lifelong events, the huge living room suddenly fell silent.

At this time, whether it was the empress, Xiao Yun, or Gu Simiao and Fu Huan, their faces all showed thoughtful expressions.

Seeing that Lu Chen was inexplicably a little painful.

What's wrong? Dudes have already come to this point, do you still want to introduce partners to buddies?

To be honest, if it weren't for the system limitations, he wouldn't have been able to reveal any information about the system, and he wouldn't have been too unusual, he would have slapped the table a long time ago.

How can there be a way to ascend to incense when you start a family?

It's a pity that the show still has to be performed, otherwise not to mention the problem of system restrictions, just to prevent officials from being controlled by evil spirits and set up to punish evil spirits is enough for him to drink a pot.

Fortunately, he was relatively straight before he crossed, and there was a certain overlap with his predecessor, and he was also teaed, so it was relatively simple to replace his predecessor, an aspiring young man who was upright and dedicated to the country.

This can be seen from the fact that the anomaly rate of several system settlements is less than 5%.

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly realized a problem.

After all, isn't it said that you are here to talk about the Tao? Why talk about such an inconsequential topic as life's events?

It's crooked, hey.

"Huaiyu."

After a while, Xiao Yun slowly spoke and asked softly:

"If there is a woman who has benevolence and righteousness in her heart, who does what she does for the benefit of the people, who sincerely works for the welfare of the people in the world, who is loved by the people like you, and who prefers you, will you marry her?"

As soon as these words came out, the empress, Gu Simiao, and Fu Huan looked at Lu Chen at the same time.

Damn, it's endless, isn't it?

Lu Chen complained in his heart, but he still nodded lightly in their gaze and said indifferently:

"It should be, like Lord Xiao, I don't resist marriage, it's just that the family and country are more important than the personal feelings of my children, and I am used to going with the flow, and I won't deliberately pursue marriage, if I am really lucky enough to meet a like-minded match, I won't resist it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun suddenly smiled slightly.

"Huaiyu thinks so, and I'm relieved."

The empress and the other three were pondering again, and after a while, they raised their heads at the same time and glanced at Lu Chen with different expressions.

Lu Chen felt that he couldn't go deeper into this topic, if it went on like this, the ghost knew where the topic was going to go, and he didn't want to talk about any lifelong events.

is the so-called three women in one play, these are all four women, and he is really a little overwhelmed.

So he turned his head, looked at the sky outside, and continued:

"It's not too early, Your Majesty, everyone, let's eat first."

Hearing this, although they were not too hungry, and it was actually early now, the four of them did not refuse.

After all, it was Lu Chen who took the initiative to bring it up, maybe he was hungry?

Then a few people moved to the dining room.

The house given to Lu Chen by the empress is very large, with rockeries, lotus ponds, gardens, rare and exotic plants, etc., and all kinds of halls are also magnificent, and everywhere is full of money.

The dining room in Lufu is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate dozens of people at all.

Several people sat at different tables.

The empress naturally sat at the top.

And just when Lu Chen was about to sit down below in the order of respect and inferiority, the empress suddenly stretched out her hand, pointed to the seat next to her, and said to Lu Chen: "Lu Qing, you just sit here." ”

Lu Chen: "??? ”

The empress said with a natural expression: "Today, there is no monarch and minister, and there is no distinction between the superior and the inferior, only the difference between the host and the guest, Lu Qing, you are the master of the Lu Mansion, how can there be a reason for the master to sit in the second seat?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen was about to refuse, but Xiao Yun, who was not far away, glanced at the empress deeply, and then looked at Lu Chen.

"Huaiyu, listen to Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's recognition and honor for you, we as courtiers, don't let down Your Majesty's kindness."

For some reason, Lu Chen always felt that Xiao Yun seemed to have a little more accentuated tone when he said the word [courtier].

Gu Simiao also followed: "Yes, Huaiyu, the so-called heaven and earth monarchs and teachers are all elders, the sages have clouds, and the elders dare not resign, since it is Your Majesty's intention, you just do it, don't think about it." ”

Fu Huan didn't speak, but sat down in her place in an orderly manner, quietly watching the atmosphere in front of her with an indescribably strange scene.

Hearing the two say this, the empress was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she quietly frowned.

Lu Chen didn't think much about it, since Gu Simiao and Xiao Yun said so, he didn't refuse anymore, and directly pushed the boat down the river and sat down in the seat not far from the empress.

After a short time, Luo Xiaoyu brought the dishes up with his subordinates and placed them on the table in front of everyone one after another.

Braised fish, Kung Pao chicken, white-cut chicken, fried lamb with green onions......

When all eight dishes and one soup are served on everyone's table, the aroma of the food suddenly spreads, making the whole dining room full of appetizing and tempting aromas.

"Miss Xiaoyu's cooking skills are still as superb as ever."

When the last stack of dishes was put down, Xiao Yun looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him and said sincerely:

"With this skill, if Miss Xiaoyu goes out to open a restaurant, I'm afraid that the entire restaurant in Luojing will have to close down, not to mention the chefs in the restaurants under the name of the wealthy family, and even the imperial chef in the palace is not as good as Miss Xiaoyu's thirty-percent level."

Hearing Xiao Yun's praise from the female princess, Luo Xiaoyu, who was just about to leave, suddenly blushed.

"Xiao... Lord Xiao's fallacy... Falsely praised, I... The little girl isn't that powerful. ”

The empress took a piece of diced chicken and put it in her small mouth to taste, chewed it a few times, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

I don't know how to deal with this chicken, it is not firewood at all, but it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a bite down, there is even a stream of tender gravy inside, after swallowing it unconsciously, there is still an evocative fragrance on the lips and teeth, which makes people can't help but clip the second piece, the third piece...

The last time she came to Lu Chen's house, it was when Lu Chen moved to a new house, and it was late at that time, the banquet had ended, and the table was full of scraps, she wanted to take a bite to chat and show her respect, but Lu Chen stopped it on the grounds that the king could not eat the scraps.

That's right, that day, she deliberately went from Ziji City to Lu Mansion to support Lu Chen, but she didn't even eat a hot dish and went back to the palace.

This was the first time she had eaten Luo Xiaoyu's food, which really surprised her.

"Xiao Aiqing is right."

After the empress swallowed the food in her mouth, she whispered to Luo Xiaoyu: "Miss Xiaoyu's craftsmanship is indeed several times stronger than the imperial chef in the palace. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Lu Chen inexplicably, and then continued: "To be honest, if it weren't for Miss Xiaoyu being Lu Qing's cousin, I would have wanted to summon you to the palace to take charge of the imperial dining room." ”

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu's little face suddenly became even redder.

"Your Majesty, if you like it."

Lu Chen ate silently, ignoring what was in front of him, and only being a dry cook.

Fu Huan looked at Lu Chen, who was concentrating on cooking, and then asked what kind of delicacies these dishes were made of, looking very interested in the way of food.

When she learned that these delicious dishes were only made with very ordinary poultry and livestock, rather than precious ingredients such as spirit animals, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and subconsciously wanted to ask how this was done.

But as soon as she squirmed the corners of her mouth, she suppressed the curiosity in her heart.

Although this kind of thing can't be regarded as turning decay into magic, it is also a skill, and it is still a bit rude to ask rashly, and maybe someone will be unhappy.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Simiao also praised Luo Xiaoyu's good craftsmanship again and again, making Luo Xiaoyu feel that her busy work this morning was all worth it.

For Luo Xiaoyu, all the people present are the big people she has to wait for!

My cousin is so impulsive, it's easy to get into trouble, if something really happens, then I have to count on these big people to lend a hand, as long as they can win their favor, they may be able to pull her cousin, who is a little too upright, at a critical moment.

So she had to find a way to help her silly cousin win their favor.

However, she should be in the position of a pleaser, but she was constantly praised by the four women, including the empress, either that she was beautiful, or that her skills were good, and she didn't know which stinky man she would cheapen in the future.

Then, without paying attention, he agreed to their invitation to go out at their leisure.

Fu Huan even asked her if she had any thoughts of seeking the Tao.

This round of sugar coating was thrown over, and Luo Xiaoyu quickly became a little confused, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether he was currying favor with them.

Until she left the dining room, her little head was still a little dizzy.

After Luo Xiaoyu left, the dining room finally quieted a lot.

And Lu Chen was almost full.

"Your Majesty."

He slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the empress on the side, and his expression was inexplicably serious.

"There is one thing, Wechen originally wanted to write to the future tomorrow morning, since His Majesty is visiting today, Wechen will say it directly here."

When it came to business, the empress quickly reined in her thoughts.

"Lu Qing, please speak."

Lu Chen arched his hand towards the empress, and then said: "Your Majesty, it has been nearly a thousand years since Emperor Taizu Hongwu expelled the Tartars and established the country, and now it has accumulated many drawbacks, so many ills are constantly eroding my Great Xia national fortunes, if it is not completely cured, Great Xia will also be like a seriously ill person, it will be difficult to return, and it will completely overturn." ”

Hearing this, the other three women looked awe-inspiring at the same time.

As a courtier, you must distinguish between the important at all times, relax when you should relax, and be meticulous when you should be serious, concentrate, and focus on the things in front of you.

Lu Chen's opening remarks were so solemn, which meant that what he wanted to draw out was definitely not a trivial matter, and as a giant representing the Wen, Wu, and Saint Kings, they naturally had to listen attentively to every word Lu Chen said next.

No one knows what the empress, the Shenwu General, the Lingyun Pavilion scholar, and the Xuanjiwei commander and the head of the Tiance Mansion, did in the Lu Mansion on the day of Xiu Mu.

Those who pay close attention to the movements of the Lu Mansion only know that the empress and the others went to the Lu Mansion in the morning, but they did not leave the Lu Mansion until late at night, and then they went back to the mansion separately.

No one knew what Lu Chen said to them, and no one dared to send someone to follow their whereabouts.

After all, none of these four women are easy to mess with.

Two powerhouses in the One Realm, the empress who comprehended the way of the emperor, the mysterious Xiao Ge Lao, such a luxurious lineup, who dares to think about them? At most, it's just a glance from afar to get an idea of where they're going.

And that's just it, after learning that they had been in the Lu Mansion for a whole day, some well-intentioned people still instinctively smelled an extraordinary breath, and then speculated, speculating whether Lu Chen's guy was going to make some big moves.

However, to their surprise, when the next morning came, Lu Chen didn't open his mouth at all, standing in front of the civil officials like a stake, and the empress, Gu Simiao, Xiao Yun and Fu Huan were also the same as usual, whether it was in demeanor or behavior, there was no abnormality.

There was no sign at all.

It's as if they went to Lu Chen's house yesterday and really just drank tea and chatted, and didn't talk about state affairs at all.

Until the next morning, Lu Chen didn't even say a word except for the necessary worship, and it was a little weirdly quiet.

This is also the calmest early dynasty in recent times.

For this rare calm, some courtiers were a little confused.

Lu Chen naturally didn't care what these people thought, or he didn't care about these people at all.

After going down to the court, as before, after dealing with all the official affairs that had been piled up in the public house for a day, he got up and left the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and walked towards Wuji Palace with Wang Qi and Zhang Xuan.

The Wuji Palace in this matter is still the same as before.

Because Lu Chen said before that before the new charter was issued, no one was allowed to start work except for the men, so that those laborers and the little officials responsible for supervising them were very idle at this time, although none of them were in the construction site, but no one was working.

If this is to be seen in the imperial history or engineering, I am afraid that it is not necessary to participate in a book.

It is not a trivial matter to delay the renovation of Wuji Palace and the decoration of the New Yuan Festival.

Those officials under the Ministry of Industry are quite anxious, and if the project progresses unfavorably, they will be 100% unlucky, regardless of the officials.

But Lu Chen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, didn't speak, and they didn't dare to make their own decisions.

I didn't look at the previous three official masters and their henchmen who are now gone, if they disobey Lu Chen, the ghost knows if they will also have to follow Xu Sanping to be unlucky.

Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't intend to deliberately embarrass them.

Just as they were waiting until noon, when it was about to be lunch time, Lu Chen's figure finally slowly appeared at the gate of Wuji Palace.

As soon as they saw Lu Chen, everyone hurriedly greeted him.

"Little one, meet Lord Lu!"

"Good day, Lord Lu!"

“……”

Looking at the groveling and respectful officials of the Ministry of Industry in front of him, Lu Chen just nodded indifferently.

Although this feeling of being in power is quite good, it is not very attractive to him, at least it will not make him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

"Come with my officer."

Concise and to the point, as always.

Then Lu Chen took a step and walked towards the camp tent not far away, and the others hurriedly followed.

When he came to the camp, Lu Chen sat on the main seat without giving up.

"Sit down, don't stand."

"Master Xie."

Seeing that Lu Chen's face was indifferent and not as indifferent as before, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking them, they hurriedly found a place to sit down in other places in the tent.

Wang Qi and Zhang Xuan sat beside Lu Chen.

"This official said a few things, it is about the next project arrangement of Wuji Palace, you listen carefully, if there is anything you don't understand later, you can ask questions on the spot."

After a pause, he said: "No matter what questions you have, you can ask the official, the official will patiently explain to you clearly, if you have any opinions, you can also put forward them to the official, as long as it is a reasonable and favorable suggestion, the official will not only adopt, but also reward the proposer, but there is one thing, you must remember, that is, you must not do things with doubts." ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly froze.

"Thank you for your teachings, we will definitely take them to heart."

A group of officials patted their chests and promised.

Lu Chen bowed slightly, and then gave Zhang Xuan on the side a color.

Zhang Xuan comprehended, directly took out some documents with black covers, and then got up and walked to the officials, and handed the documents in his hand to the officials in front.

"This is the charter that this official made at home yesterday."

Lu Chen's voice sounded again.

"The first thing the official wants to say is this new charter, and while you look at it, the official will say it."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, and opened the cover with a little trembling hands.

And when some officials saw the contents of the first page of the document, for some reason, their pupils suddenly shrank, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

"My lord. This. Is there a problem with this charter? ”
