Although the emperor Lao'er is the head of a country, he occasionally has to look at the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Officials will make you a bunch of fools to be officials, the Ministry of Household will cry with you every day that you are poor, and the Ministry of War will secretly rebel while taking care of your salary.

The emperor Lao Er designated to tighten his belt to live, not to mention, during the day he had to smoke at the fool of the court, and at night he couldn't sleep worried that the soldiers would rush into the palace and ask for his head, so there was really no way to live.

Therefore, this is why Chang Huan and Cao Yongle's fathers are both small officials in the household department, but they have the confidence to speak and the oil and water in their stomachs!

And the remaining three, because the Ministry of Industry is in charge of repairing the palace garden, often walk around the palace, more or less deal with the nobles in the palace, and get some face.

There is a saying that "a dog stays in a private school for three years - and can sing the wind and the moon", which is the truth.

The rest of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment are half a catty and eight taels.

Most of the people who have been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department have committed serious crimes, and if they want to go through the back door to catch people, they must first weigh how many catties and taels they have, otherwise before they get out, they will have to eat melons and fall together and sit through the bottom of the prison.

The Ministry of Rites is the most idle job, except for sacrifices and imperial examinations, there is almost no place for it on weekdays.

There are fixed rules and regulations for sacrifices, and the imperial examination can also steal some test questions and make a little money.

But there are officials above who are suppressing, and if you want to protect the individual, in the blink of an eye, the officials will send you to the place where the birds don't to take care of the monkeys, which is also useless.

In this way, the second prince Xuanyuan Chen would not deign to come to the banquet in Liufu, and the reason why he came was because of a short round young man standing behind him.

The short round boy stepped forward to greet Liu Qingyan: "Zhu Toujun, the son of General Zhu, pays a visit to Miss Liu." ”

Liu Qingyan, who ran to a brothel and was punished by his parents, was able to hold a banquet in the house like this, calling friends and companions, completely because of this Zhu Toujun.

Zhu Toujun's father was the only general of Jin Wuwei who was the only three-grade general in the dynasty, and he was in charge of the patrol of the palace and the capital.

And this Zhu Toujun is the Jinwu guard Cao joined the army, to put it bluntly, he is the second generation of typical soldiers, powerful and powerful.

One sentence can summarize the current situation, that is, Liu Shangshu wants to marry General Zhu, and the other party also has this intention!

So, this banquet is the introduction for the two to go on a blind date.

The second prince intended to win over General Zhu, so he naturally deigned to accompany him.

Liu Qingyan thought about Mu Yirong in his heart, and agreed to this blind date, completely to see Seocho, so he made conditions.

This is why Liu Shangshu was humiliated in Mufu, but he was still willing to invite the young master of Mufu to come to the banquet.

Liu Qingyan's gaze crossed Zhu Toujun and the second prince, fell on Ruicao, and immediately ran over with a smile: "Chivalrous girl, I am grateful for the flowers I am waiting for, you come with me." ”

Liu Qingyan saw the appearance of Ruicao, just like a young woman who had been guarding the cold kiln for ten years, and finally saw her husband return, which was called an excitement.

can't help but suspect that the person who is on a blind date with her today is Seocho!

Seeing that Liu Qingyan ignored Zhu Toujun, the second prince immediately darkened his face: "Miss Liu, is this your hospitality?"

Liu Qingyan was also unambiguous: "The chivalrous girl is a guest I invited, and I entertain." You are my father's guests, and he will entertain you. ”

The second prince and a group of guests were all shocked by Liu Qingyan's theory, and Xiao Cui'er, who was guarding the side, was about to cry in fright, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "The second prince, please forgive me, please forgive me." The slave maid has just recovered from a serious illness, and her head is still not clear, please don't care about the villain, don't worry about her. ”

The news that the daughter of Liufu died of a violent illness and suddenly came back to life has been heard by everyone.

The second prince didn't care whether the daughter of a scholar of the Criminal Department was dead or alive, he only felt that this Liu Qingyan made him and Zhu Toujun lose face in front of everyone, and his black face flicked his sleeves, and his voice rose several degrees: "If your brain is broken, don't come out and be embarrassed, Zhu Gongzi is a distinguished guest of this prince, how can he accept your contempt." This prince wants to reason with Liu Shangshu, and see if there is such a reason. ”

Xiao Cui'er was so frightened that she knelt down all of a sudden, if the second prince found Liu Shangshu to theorize, her young lady would definitely be beaten to death, and asked the second prince to calm his anger.

The second prince didn't put Liufu in his eyes at all, and snorted coldly: "If she is killed, then she can only be blamed for asking for herself!"

Liu Qingyan saw the eyes of the second prince looking at her, as if she was looking at a bed bug that could be crushed to death at will, and couldn't help but pull Xiao Cui'er up with a big handful, and looked at the second prince angrily: "Come to participate in other people's banquets, so noisy, I don't know how to follow and learn etiquette." If you want to stay, stay and leave, who is rare!"

Liu Qingyan not only alluded to the fact that the second prince was uneducated, but even the prince's wife also ate melon Luo'er, where was the second prince hit by someone like this, and his brain was about to explode, so he stepped forward angrily, grabbed Liu Qingyan's hand fiercely, and wanted to pull her to reason with Liu Shangshu, how did he teach such a daughter who despises imperial power and has no one in his eyes?

The status of the second prince is noble, and naturally no one dares to step forward to stop him, and they all secretly say in their hearts that Liu Qingyan is not long-sighted, and he dares to contradict the prince.

Suddenly, a slender jade hand grabbed the wrist of the second prince, and the second prince suddenly felt as if he was caught by iron tongs, and couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Who are you, dare to be so rude, don't you know who I am?"

Ruicao, who grabbed the second prince's wrist, shook his head: "I don't know." ”

The second prince frowned in surprise and looked Ruicao up and down: "You don't know who I am?"

Seocho nodded, and was so angry that the second prince's nose was almost crooked.

Mu Yixing, who was standing on the side, saw Ruicao suddenly grab the second prince's wrist, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

"Silly bold, what are you doing. Hurry up and let go of the second prince. ”

The two young ladies in the second room of Liufu were secretly happy to be able to look at the jade face of the second prince, and they were ready to move.

As a result, he was extremely shocked to see that Seocho dared to be unreasonable to the second prince, and he was so frightened that he was like a pair of clay puppets, frozen on the spot, and his heart was finished, and this weed broom star began to cause trouble again. I can't help but start worrying about whether my head can continue to stay on my neck after today.

Seocho replied to Mu Yixing expressionlessly: "If he releases first, I will let go." ”

Liu Qingyan saw that Ruicao actually defended her like this, and remembered that she accompanied Liu Shangshu to the door two days ago and did such an unrighteous thing, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Mu Yixing saw that Seocao still dared to bargain, and took his words as a deaf ear, so he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Stupid and bold, you big fool, don't make a mistake, hurry up and let go of the second prince." ”

Seocho was indifferent, and the second prince refused to let go of Liu Qingyan for the sake of face, and shouted angrily: "It's really the opposite." Zhu Gongzi, hurry up and help this prince teach this guy a lesson. ”

Seocho heard that Zhu Xiaotian, the father of Zhu Toujun's father, Zhu Xiaotian, was not an ordinary military officer, he was once stationed in Xisai, fought against the Hu people, and had a lot of military achievements.

And judging from the name he gave his son, it is known that he hopes that his son can join the army and serve the country.

It's just that Zhu Toujun was born with a short figure, round into a ball, and when he lifted his legs, even Ma Peizi couldn't reach it.

I couldn't help but have doubts about the sentence that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes.

The result was unexpected, Zhu Toujun, who was as round as a watermelon, was completely a tiger descending from the mountain.

His figure flashed, and he slammed his fist into Seocho's face, carrying a strong wind, and the power was amazing.

The besieging crowd was all shocked, and couldn't help but dodge backwards and retreated, and Liu Qingyan was also so frightened that he closed his eyes.
