Heroic Wife Reborn

Yu Xiaoxiao asked Nanny Wang: What are the rules for entering Suzaku's palace?

Wang Momo glanced at her own princess and said, I can't jump in anyway.

Yu Xiaoxiao...

It's snowing! The fifth prince yelled while sitting on Gu Xinglang's lap at this moment, pointing out the window.

Everyone looked out of the window together, and there were snowflakes flying outside the window again.

Yu Xiaoxiao thought that she would have to travel far in the ice and snow, so she muttered: This Li Xiaoyuan doesn't choose a good day for his birthday, this kind of journey must be difficult.

By the way, can you choose a date for things like birthdays?

The big guys looked at each other.

The eldest prince who was also born in winter glared at his older sister. Could it be that being born in winter made his older sister dislike him?

The snow didn't seem to stop, and at night, Gu Xinglang was lying in bed with his wife in his arms, and he remembered something, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: Xiao Xiao, what kind of etiquette will the Holy Majesty prepare for us? Send it to Suzaku?

Yu Xiaoxiao still knows the etiquette of birthday presents, and yawned, Yu Xiaoxiao said to her little Gu, Send me some money. My father is calling him every day that he is going to die of poverty. I think my father will give me some money. One or twenty taels of silver.

One or twenty taels of silver? The corner of Gu Xinglang's mouth twitched.

Yu Xiaoxiao: How much rice can I buy with this money? But there's no way, that's my aunt's man. If my father gives me more money, Li Xiaoyuan can treat my aunt better, right?

Gu Xinglang gave an indistinct hmm and began to think about whether he should discuss with his sister-in-law and ask the family to prepare a present. In addition to killing them, you should also send troops to attack Fengtian to vent your hatred?

I'm going to ask my father for the travel expenses tomorrow, Yu Xiaoxiao added, I'm working for him, so I can't ask for the travel expenses.

We have money, Gu Xinglang said while smoothing Yu Xiaoxiao's loose long hair with his hands.

That's money for buying rice! Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her head on Gu Xinglang's shoulder.

Gu Xinglang shook his head, forget it, anyway, his wife is not the one who is torturing him, Go to sleep, Gu Sanshao coaxed his wife, Tomorrow I will go into the palace with you.

Yeah, Yu Xiaoxiao responded, hugged Gu Xinglang and fell asleep.

Yu Xiaoxiao is asleep here, and Xianzong is still busy in the imperial palace. Although he shouted that he had no money, Xianzong did not dare to be sloppy with this birthday gift. After looking in his private treasury for a long time, Xianzong picked out a lot of good things, especially a red bird carefully carved from a whole piece of red jade, as one of the birthday gifts.

Stretching out his hand to touch this red jade vermilion bird, Xianzong sighed to Qing Hai: Our Fengtian people call this vermilion bird, and in the Vermilion Bird Kingdom this is their national guardian spirit beast, Vermilion Bird.

Qing Hai looked at the red jade vermilion bird, and whispered: My lord, this servant looks like a phoenix.

Xianzong hurriedly said: Li Xiaoyuan is celebrating his birthday, should I give him a jade-carved phoenix?

With a silly look on his face, Qing Hai said, What's wrong with Phoenix?

Qing Hai's pretending to be stupid succeeded in pleasing Xianzong, Xianzong laughed and said: If Li Xiaoyuan's old lady is alive, it's okay if I send a jade phoenix to him, but if he celebrates his birthday, I send a jade phoenix to him, calling him a woman? No matter how tough his daughter is, he can't kill her like this.

Qing Hai had a look of sudden realization.

Xianzong pointed to the body of the red jade vermilion bird, and said: The vermilion bird looks like a phoenix, but the pattern of its feathers is different.

Qing Hai was not interested in knowing the difference between Fenghuang and Vermilion Bird. After hearing Xianzong's words, he pretended to stare at Ruby Vermilion Bird, then flattered Xianzong, bowed and said, Your Majesty is wise!

Xianzong touched his treasure very reluctantly, and ordered: Put it in a box.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites responded together: I obey the order.

Xianzong walked out quickly, he couldn't stand in his own private treasury any longer, and his heart would be broken if he stood any longer.

The rare treasures selected by Xianzong were packed into boxes at dawn and put into the warehouse of the Inner Court Department. After the gifts from Prince Rui and Prince Yu were delivered, officials from the Ministry of Rites would Responsible for inventory.

The Minister of Rites looked at the twenty or so black lacquered wooden boxes neatly stacked, and said, Wu Zhen stay here to guard.

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the eunuchs of the Inner Court Department, listened to Lord Shang Shu's words, and all looked at Wu Zhen, who was the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Sitting here and guarding the box, it is enough to send a small official from the Ministry of Rites, how can we need a third-rank minister in the Ministry of Rites to guard it?

Yes, Wu Zhen, who was watched by everyone, answered calmly.

Let's go, Minister of Rites glanced at this subordinate, and walked out with a flick of his robe sleeves.

The chief eunuch of the Inner Court Department also walked up to Wu Zhen, cupped his hands, and said, Then I will trouble Master Wu to watch over here.

Wu Zhen nodded to the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch snorted, turned around and led the others away.

Wu Zhen looked at the few eunuchs who were guarding with him in the storehouse, and his calm face twisted for a moment. Wu Zhen was Tanhualang from the year before last, he was in his prime, he was born in a family, and his official career was prosperous, but it's a pity that Liuzhou's Wu family was related to Zhao Qiuming, Zhao Qiuming's loss of power made his official career dim as well.

Turning around and looking at the warehouse where there were only wooden boxes, not even a chair or a wooden stool, Mr. Wu couldn't calm down. Now he is struggling in the Ministry of Rites, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites has a deep friendship with the Gu family, Wu Zhen feels that his boss is ready to find out his faults at any time, and then drive him out of the Ministry of Rites and the court of Fengtian.

Turning around and standing, there was snow falling outside the door, Wu Zhen thought to himself, it was too late to make friends with Gu Xingnuo now, Prime Minister Zhao couldn't turn over, so he would just wait to be squeezed out of the officialdom. Wu Zhen shuddered at the thought of becoming a commoner and even being convicted.

Master Wu stood frozen in this warehouse of the Inner Court until dawn.

After daybreak, Prince Rui's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion brought over birthday gifts, all of which were more than 20 high-quality wooden boxes, but the paint color of the boxes was lighter than the ones in the palace, to show respect for Xianzong.

Wu Zhenqiang, who was stiff all over, cheered up, and led the small officials to start counting the birthday gifts first.

When the wooden box containing the red jade vermilion bird was opened, everyone was amazed.

Wu Zhen looked at this red jade vermilion bird, and a thought that was so presumptuous and daring that the Wu family in Liuzhou could be punished by the nine clans suddenly appeared in Wu Zhen's mind.

At this time, the Minister of Rites came in with a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that Wu Zhen had brought someone out of the box to check, his face darkened, and he said, Your Majesty Wu is so courageous. I have not arrived yet, but you have already ordered Open the box?

This is how the Ministry of Rites acted before, and no one said it was wrong. After hearing the boss's sudden attack on him, Wu Zhen bowed his head and admitted his mistake: It's the lower officials who are presumptuous.

The third one is here.
