The news that Xiao Huai did not die soon spread throughout the capital. Many families began to reorient themselves on how to get along with the Marquis of Yongning.

Before Xiao Huai died, the emperor's attitude towards the Yongning Marquis Mansion was both grace and vigilance. Now that Xiao Huai is not dead, he has made great contributions, and the emperor should be more vigilant against the Yongning Marquis Mansion now.

Moreover, now Xiao Huai has not returned to Beijing, and I don't know what his attitude is, so most of the magnates are respectful to the Yongning Marquis Mansion but do not plan to interact more.

Everyone was watching, and for a while, the business of the guild hall was not as good as before. But those who are close on weekdays, such as Nanlingbo Mansion and Xiang General's Mansion, as well as Qi Mansion and Xiaoyao Wang's Mansion, are still the same as before.

Not to mention the Tang State Mansion and the Wuyang Bo Mansion, everyone is in-laws, and one is prosperous and the other is lost.

On this day, Tang Shuyi was chatting with Xiao Yuzhu, where did Xiao Yuming go, did the people sent out find Xiao Yuchen, and Steward Zhao trotted to report, "Madam, the holy decree has come to the palace." ”

"Who's going to deliver the message?" Tang Shuyi got up and asked.

"It's Gonggong Jiao in front of the emperor, and he also brought a lot of rewards." Steward Zhao said.

Tang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she is not here to find fault. She took Xiao Yuzhu to the front hall, Jiao Kangsheng saw them and hurriedly saluted, then looked left and right and asked, "The second son is not here?" ”

Tang Shuyi sighed heavily, "I was in a hurry, knowing that his father was not dead, so I went to the northwest noisily, I didn't look at him and ran away secretly, and just sent someone out to find it." ”

Jiao Kangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then you have to find it quickly." ”

Tang Shuyi sighed, "No, I'm going to die of sorrow." ”

Jiao Kangsheng sighed, and then said, "Mrs. Hou, take the order." ”

Tang Shuyi hurriedly pulled Xiao Yuzhu to kneel, and Jiao Kangsheng began to recite the holy decree. Roughly speaking, Xiao Huai endured humiliation for the sake of the Great Qianchao, and now he has made great contributions, which should be rewarded, and then there is a string of rewards.

The current emperor also has merits, such as saving face. This is a good face, look at this reward, it is really rich. Gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and a large amount of land are really not ordinary ladies.

I have to say that Xiao Huai's ability to make money is really first-class.

This should be considered the joint property of the husband and wife after marriage, right?

Tang Shuyi thought wildly and asked people to move things into the warehouse. Jiao Kangsheng returned to the palace, and when he saw the emperor, he told the story of the decree of the Marquis of Yongning.

When the emperor heard that Xiao Yuming had set off for the northwest by himself, he snorted heavily, "Even Xingzhou is useless, didn't you say that you didn't find Xiao Er out of the Yongning Marquis Mansion?" Now that Mrs. Yongning Hou has said it, it means that Xiao Er has already left. ”

Lian Xingzhou was the person he sent to keep an eye on the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Jiao Kangsheng lowered his head and pretended not to exist, and after a while, the emperor said again: "Xiao Huai doesn't believe me, has he ever believed me?" Before he could do anything, he got his son away. Thinking about it, Xiao Yuchen must have gone to the northwest. ”

The emperor suddenly felt powerless, very powerless. In the past few days, he has been sleepless all night, trying to find out how to balance Xiao Huai, but there is no good way. Every now and then he hates, hates himself for not having a good son. If he could have a son like Xiao Huai, what else was he worried about?

sighed heavily, he didn't say that he had a son like Xiao Huai, even Xiao Er was changing for the better, but none of his sons were working hard.

At this time, a little eunuch came in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the king of Sujun asks to see you." ”

The emperor frowned, this Sujun King was the cousin of the former emperor, and the relationship with the former emperor was quite harmonious, and the first emperor gave him the title of county king, but he had no fief and had been living in Shangjing.

This King Sujun is the oldest in the royal family now, and he is also the highest in terms of seniority, and his words are quite weighty.

"Please come in." The Emperor said.

The little eunuch went out, and after a while the king of Sujun came in. He was in his eighties, his hair and beard were gray, but he was very energetic.

The emperor got up, "Uncle Huang, are you in good health today?" ”

King Sujun was helped by the little eunuch to sit down and said, "I'm fine." ”

The emperor snorted, "What happened to Uncle Huang today?" ”

The expression on King Sujun's face was a little indescribable, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is still taboo for a family to have no successor, let alone the emperor." ”

The emperor was drinking tea, and after listening to the words of King Sujun, he suddenly felt that the tea soup in his mouth was extremely bitter. He had several sons, but he was said to have no successors.

I heard King Sujun say again: "The emperor's age is not that he can't be reborn, so why don't you recruit some more women into the palace." Pick someone who is knowledgeable and intelligent. ”

The emperor's face almost couldn't hang up when he heard this, this is saying that the women in his harem are stupid, so the son he gave birth to is also stupid? He wanted to be angry, but they were right, his sons were stupid.

After thinking about it, he said, "What does Uncle Huang think?" ”

"This time, we will select women with a wide reputation in Beijing," Su Jun Wang said: "I heard that there is a ranking of talented women in Beijing, so I will choose them there." ”

The emperor drooped his old eyelids and thought, feeling that King Sujun's proposal was not unavoidable. A smart woman is more likely to be smart when she gives birth to a child.

"What Uncle Huang said, I think about it." The Emperor said.

"Okay." King Sujun took a sip of tea from his cup, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the last wish of the emperor to conquer the Rouli Kingdom, and the Rouli Kingdom has always regarded us as fat, and it will be a thousand years to win the Rouli Gong." Xiao Huai has to be appeased now, not to be provoked, if you have any ideas, wait until you take the Rouli Kingdom. ”

"Uncle Huang, I understand." The Emperor said.

Did he want to kill Xiao Huai? I want to think about it, I dream about it. But not now, he can't.

King Su snorted, then got up, "I came today to talk to the emperor, I'll leave when it's okay." ”

He walked out, and the emperor got up and said, "Jiao Kangsheng, send the king of Sujun." ”

Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly went over to help King Sujun and walked out, and the emperor sat there frowning and thinking.

Tang Shuyi didn't know that Tang Guogong's "birth" work had already begun, and on the second day she took Xiao Yuzhu to Huguang Pavilion, and yesterday she made an appointment with Mrs. Nanling Bo and Mrs. Xiang to play cards in the hall.

When she arrived, Mrs. Nanlingbo and Mrs. Xiang had not yet arrived, so she took Xiao Yuzhu to the "office" first, and as soon as she sat down, Cuiyun came over to report, "Someone asked to see him, and he said that he was from the northwest." ”

Tang Shuyi frowned slightly, and then said, "Please come in." ”
