Xuanyuan Li nodded abruptly when he heard Liang Chen's words, and then turned his head to look at the courtier who was pouting and stopped at the door.

"Now that the day of the signing is approaching, according to the usual practice, the widow has prepared tribute ice for the Aiqing who is loyal to the monarch and the country, and the meritorious deeds are rewarded. ”

Nowadays, there are many shops and storefronts that sell ice and ice drinks in Shangjingfang City, but the price is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.

"Chang'an ice and snow, to the summer price and other gold wall", and although some eunuchs have money, they may not be able to buy much.

Therefore, the annual "Summer Moon Dynasty Meeting, Giving Ice on the Doorstep" is the biggest source of ice and snow in the courtiers' homes.

Besides, the amount of ice that the emperor rewarded to the courtiers also represented the courtier's ability, and it was a reward that made the courtiers feel extremely honorable.

Hearing that the Holy Lord wanted to appreciate the ice, the courtiers hurriedly retreated outside the hall and stood on both sides.

Xuanyuanli, who seemed to be in a much better spirit, was supported by Liang Chen, walked to the door, and sat on the chair that had been set up.

At this time, suddenly a little eunuch led a man in a gorgeous costume to the front of the palace.

The little eunuch sang and shouted, "The Nineteenth Prince has arrived", and then stepped aside.

The nineteenth prince Xuanyuan Yang looked very white, just like a woman's jade crisp hands, but the clothes he was wearing were too exaggerated, and the flowers embroidered with gold and silver threads on them were one after another, dense, and under the scorching sun, they would blind people's eyes.

Ruicao guessed that the eyes of the nineteenth prince must not be very good, and besides, his embroidered robe was comparable to armor, and it was estimated that someone would stab him, and the knife would not be able to penetrate it.

Seocho suddenly remembered the second prince of flowers and butterflies that flew in front of her that day, maybe he just referred to the outfit of the nineteenth prince, and those who didn't know might think that the nineteenth prince was the biological father of the second prince.

Xuanyuan, who didn't know that he was in Ruicao's heart, had been smeared with a little green on his head, and he was very happy to see the Nineteenth Prince, and ordered someone to bring a chair and let him sit next to him.

The nineteenth prince smiled and saluted Emperor Xuanyuan first, and then walked to Mu Yirong's side with a smile, and gave Mu Yirong a big hug when he went up, and his voice was still as coquettish as a woman, "Yirong, I haven't seen you for a long time, everyone wants to kill you." ”

As soon as the nineteenth prince and Mu Yirong met, they acted as if they were cheating in public, which was really unsightly.

Some people who like the temperament of the Nineteenth Prince should watch the excitement, and some courtiers who have deeply rooted Zhou Li in their bones are so angry that they blow their beards and stare at them.

For example, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the Imperial History Zhongcheng and several priests insulted Sven and insulted Sven, and wanted to buy a pair of eyes that had not seen this "base feeling" picture!

Since Mu Yirong got acquainted with the Nineteenth Prince, the eldest lady Tang felt that Mu Yirong was not interested in marrying a wife after the age of discussing relatives, and a large part of the reason came from the Nineteenth Prince.

So at that time, the eldest lady Tang dissuaded Mu Yirong from staying away from the Nineteenth Prince, and often mentioned this matter to Master Mu.

Now, when Mu Jingzhong saw the Nineteenth Prince and Mu Yirong like this, he also felt that his old face was a little unbearable, and he coughed vigorously.

Like an octopus stuck to Mu Yirong's body, the nineteenth prince turned to look at Mu Jingzhong, with a concerned face, "Lord Mu works hard for state affairs, and his health is not safe, so he should pay more attention to rest, take care of maintenance, and don't get a cough." Another day, I will ask the house to send some tonic to the house to clear the lungs and dissolve phlegm, please remember to take it on time. ”

When Mu Jingzhong heard this, he hurriedly came out and thanked the nineteenth prince for his reward.

Prince Nineteen smiled and waved his hand, "Lord Mu doesn't have to be so polite. Yu Gong, you are loyal to the country and the people, and to the royal brother; Privately, Yirong and I are close friends, and it is normal to care about my uncle's health. ”

The age difference between Mu Jingzhong and the nineteenth prince is less than ten years, and his uncle called Mu Jingzhong very uncomfortable, but he had to say that he didn't dare to say that he was loyal to the country and avenged the people, all of which were within his bounds, and he didn't dare to ask for rewards.

The nineteenth prince smiled and sighed that Xiang Mu Jingzhong was so upright and capable, and there were fewer and fewer selfless officials, and he even turned his head to Xuanyuan above to ask for a reward for Mu Jingzhong.

"Brother Huang, such a good official who is loyal to the king and loves the people, you have to promote him well! Don't always listen to some traitorous ministers who slander in your ears all day long and frame others. ”

The nineteenth prince's words frightened Mu Jingzhong hurriedly knelt down, and repeatedly said that the nineteenth prince's words were serious, and he was appreciated by today's saints, and he was already grateful to the emperor for his appointment as the secretary of Dali Temple. And he only did what he did, and he didn't dare to ask for extravagance, nor did he dare to covet the reward of adding officials to the knighthood.

The Nineteenth Prince raised Mu Jingzhong in public, and also mocked the officials who made suggestions to the emperor, standing aside and usually like to participate in several copies of the Nineteenth Prince's Book of Rites and the officials of the Imperial History Tower, each so angry that his nose was almost crooked. The heart said that the nineteenth prince, you have the ability, and you will name the traitors you said, and don't scold Huai in a weird way here.

The nineteenth prince seemed to hear the voices of several adults, and even turned his head, smiled at a few people, and even threw a wink, so angry that the elderly Ministry of Rites Shangshu almost didn't catch his breath.

Xuanyuan Li was really very tolerant of his youngest brother, and asked the nineteenth prince with a smile if he had enough trouble, and if he had made enough trouble, he would sit next to him.

The weather was hot, he sat outside the hall for a while, his buttocks were about to stick to the chair, and he hurriedly finished the tribute ice, so that he and the nineteenth prince went to the palace to enjoy the "crisp mountain", on which the nineteenth prince's favorite new lychee was placed.

The nineteenth prince walked to Xuanyuan with a smile, did not sit down, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile that Xuanyuan Li still loved him the most.

Mu Yirong, who was almost stripped off his clothes by the Nineteenth Prince just now, never dared to speak out, and after seeing that the Nineteenth Prince finally didn't say anything rebellious and misleading, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and turned his head sideways to meet Seocho's gaze.

Seocho looked at him directly, and the look in his eyes was exactly the same as the look he expressed understanding to the two of them when he saw that Seocho and Liu Qingyan were too close!

Xuanyuan saw that Mu Jingzhong was still kneeling below, so he asked him to get up, and praised him with a smile, saying that he knew that Mu Jingzhong was working hard, and asked him to pay more attention to his body.

Originally, those officials who still wanted to participate in Mu Jingzhong's unfavorable case, seeing that the nineteenth prince made such a fuss, the saint also showed an appreciative attitude towards Mu Jingzhong, and they all knew each other very well and did not want to be that thankless bird.

Among them, Liu Shicheng, who took the lead, was very uneasy in his heart, he originally wanted to teach Mu Jingzhong a lesson about the lack of progress in the murder case of monsters in the capital.

As a result, the Nineteenth Prince came to make such a fuss, and he felt that his position as Shangshu was about to be lost, and he couldn't help but hate Mu Jingzhong more and more, and felt very dissatisfied with the Nineteenth Prince, who was always blindly involved in the government politics when he had nothing to do.
