Chapter 914 Please Your Majesty Show Your Grace (Second Update)

Chapter 923

Liu Zhi stared blankly at Ma Shang, who was looking at him seriously with a small face. "... Cough cough, His Majesty is worried about the empress, of course it should be, but for family affairs, this can't delay state affairs..."

"Liu Xiang's words are wrong. Could it be that whether or not His Majesty has any heirs is not a major issue concerning the whole world?" Ma Shang looked at Liu Zhi with a surprised look.

With that expression and eyes, Liu Zhi almost wanted to raise his hand to punch this brat.

"Eunuch Ma, how can you say that? Liu Xiang is naturally worried about my country and society, and that's why he made such a slip of the tongue. Please, Eunuch Haihan..." Fortunately, there was an even more slick old driver rushing away Come out and chime in.

"My lords, during this period of time, Your Majesty has been worried about your mother's body and the children in her womb, and is very worried. Please, my lords, be more considerate and stop mentioning things that upset Your Majesty. Alright, Our family has to wait on the official's house, so farewell, my lords..."

After all, Ma Shang threw down a group of stunned court officials who patted their buttocks and ran straight to the back side door.A group of important officials in the court look at me and come to see you, they are all speechless.

Liu Zhi stroked his beard for a long time, then stomped his feet helplessly and sighed. "Forget it. Your Majesty and the Empress are deeply in love, and you have to worry about the twins in the Empress's womb. It's not Eunuch Ma's nonsense. Let's put this matter aside for the time being..."

"But Liu Xiang, if you keep procrastinating like this, what should I do..." Minister of Rites couldn't help but said anxiously.

"Why, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Third Division, and the Privy Council are not in a hurry, why are you so anxious as a minister of the Ministry of Rites?" Liu Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, glared at this colleague viciously, snorted coldly, and walked away.

"Master Hu, you, it's not good to be too impatient." Zhu Guangting next to him couldn't help but hehe, and patted the Minister of Rites on the shoulder, saying meaningfully.

These days, it has long been no secret that several groups of traders from the Liao Kingdom entered and exited the residence of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but no one mentioned it.

Not only him, but also the envoy of the Liao Kingdom who was stationed in the Song Dynasty, had been in and out of the mansions of many officials many times. This was the fundamental reason for everyone to maintain a tacit understanding.

It's just that this minister of the Ministry of Rites is too eager. Such a style of acting, which has the slightest literati's strength, is really disappointing.

After Ma Shang left the main hall through the back door, he hurried for a while, and soon saw the emperor Zhao Xu who was deliberately walking slowly, and quickly gave a deep salute. "Officials..."

"Well, how's it going, Ma Shang, how are those guys doing?" Zhao Xu asked after slightly nodding at him.

"The slave followed your instructions and explained to the ministers, and it really worked. The officials are really wise." Ma Shang hurriedly slapped his butt and raised his thumb to show his majesty's wisdom.

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing out loud, but after only laughing a few times, he seemed to feel something was wrong, coughed twice, and quickened his pace. "Come on, come with me to visit the queen, I am really worried about the queen and my two unborn children."

"Your Majesty, please slow down..." Ma Shang hurriedly followed, heading towards the bedroom where the queen was.

Zhao Xu had just stepped into the hall, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback. "Mother Queen?" At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiang was holding Empress Meng's hand and didn't know what to say, while Empress Meng was hanging her head, her face was full of embarrassment, but she looked like she didn't know how to answer.

"It turns out that the official's family is back. Ai's family is thinking that the queen will give birth in half a month, so they come here to have a look... By the way, Ning, why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and greet your majesty? "Empress Dowager Xiang let go of Empress Meng's hand with a smile, and greeted Emperor Zhao Xu lovingly.

Of course, he did not forget to reach out and pull over a young woman dressed in a palace dress standing beside her.

"Ning's daughter, I have seen Your Majesty..." That pitiful Ning with picturesque brows bowed generously to the emperor Zhao Xu.

The Son of Heaven Zhao Xu laughed, raised his hand to help, then strode up to the Empress Dowager Xiang, and sat down with the Empress Dowager Xiang's support. "Excuse me, please sit down quickly, the queen mother. The child happened to be gone early in the morning, and I was worried about Zitong's body, so I came here to have a look. I didn't expect the queen mother to get up so early..."

"Ai's family is getting old, how can there be so much drowsiness, besides, my grandson is about to be born, so Ai's family will naturally have to walk around here more..." Xiang Hou said with a smile.

The Son of Heaven, Zhao Xu, happily chatted with the Empress Dowager, and the empress Meng, who was pot-bellied, was smiling, while that Ning was quietly standing beside the Empress Dowager, with a pair of watery eyes, looking at Empress Meng from time to time. Shi's pregnant belly took a peek.

After chattering without nutrition for a long time, the Queen Mother finally got to the point. "Your Majesty, now that the empress is heavy, and you are busy with government affairs, you still have to worry about the empress. You can't bear to feel sorry for your family. No, this woman, Ning, is virtuous, sensible, witty, and sensible. She is a rare woman from a good family..."

Speaking of this, the queen mother glanced at the emperor, and the emperor was still smiling, but he was unmoved. This made the queen mother feel a little angry, but she could only hold back.

"So... the Ai family thought that Meng's side also needed someone, so the Ai family chose to pick and choose such a good girl with quick hands and feet and a flexible mind to serve the queen... "

"The queen mother's kindness, how can the child not accept it, if that's the case, then you can keep it." Zhao Xu chuckled, still smiling, not at all displeased.On the contrary, there was a trace of worry in Mengshi's eyes, but he still didn't speak in the end.

Seeing that her son had agreed, Queen Mother Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Okay, okay...just promise, Ning family, you have to take good care of the empress and emperor, don't make any mistakes, otherwise, even if your majesty and empress forgive you, the Ai family can't forgive you. Do you understand? "

"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people understands that she must serve her and Your Majesty with all her heart, and she dare not slack off in the slightest..." Ning quickly bowed to the ground, suppressed the joy that was almost overflowing, and said sincerely and sincerely.

After chatting a few more gossips, Queen Mother Xiang got up and left. As his son, Zhao Xu had to personally send Queen Mother Xiang to the door respectfully.

"The empress is able to become a couple in one fell swoop. This is a blessing for my Great Song Dynasty, and it is also a happy event for my royal family. I also hope that Your Majesty will give you a lot of grace and rain, and let my Great Song clan..."

"My son understands, mother, please slow down, be careful not to fall, after two days, the affairs of the court are not busy, my son will go to greet mother..." Zhao Xu nodded sincerely and agreed.

After drifting away from the Empress Dowager, the smile on Emperor Zhao Xu's face gradually faded away...
