In the morning of the second day, Xiao Huai got up much earlier than before.After washing and dressing, he rode to the palace.When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he handed over the horse to the long follower, and then walked to the gate of the palace, waiting for the gate to open to enter with everyone.But within a few steps, he saw Qi Liangsheng approaching from the left.

The eyes of the two collided, and Xiao Huai clearly felt that Qi Liangsheng's complexion was much worse than before.Xiao Huai originally wanted to greet him, but when he saw this, he acted as if he hadn't seen him, and strode forward.He felt that Qi Liangsheng was too narrow-minded, and he didn't have any life-and-death enmity, and the relationship between the two families was still close, so why did he dislike him so much?

After striding to the gate of the palace and just standing still, Marquis An Yuan walked over with a smile, cupped his hands and said to him: "Duke Ding."

Xiao Huai also bowed to him, and then the two began to exchange pleasantries.At this time, several people came to talk to Xiao Huai, and after a while, many people surrounded him.Xiao Huai dealt with these people in a neutral manner, thinking in his heart that he would not have too close contacts with these people in the future.

If you really have a good relationship with him, you will not surround him and talk at the gate of the palace at this time.What is this for?Do you think the emperor is not afraid of him enough?

And Marquis An Yuan, who was standing aside at the moment, was also a little unhappy.He really wanted to make friends with Xiao Huai, so he took the initiative to come over and talk to him.It's just that I didn't expect these people to come over and talk around Xiao Huai.Are these people arranged by the emperor?Just to charge Xiao Huai with forming a party for personal gain?

Thinking about the temperament of the current emperor, this is not impossible.

Soon the palace gate opened, and the officials walked in one after another, and then entered the Golden Luan Hall.After standing up according to the size of civil, military and official positions, the emperor came over.After sitting on the dragon chair, he saw Xiao Huai standing in front at a glance, and he felt unhappy, and his expression was not very good.

He thought in his heart that he must quickly come up with a way to bestow Xiao Yuchen with a marriage, but it still made people unable to find out.

............

On the Dingguo Mansion's side, Tang Shuyi walked quickly around the yard a few times after getting up, which was regarded as exercise.Then I had breakfast with the three brothers and sisters.

In the past few days, all the shopkeepers in charge of the property in the mansion have come, and Tang Shuyi has to be busy reconciling accounts with them.At this time last year, it was Qi Er who helped her. This year, Qi Er is busy with the affairs of the guild hall, so naturally he can't come to help her again.She just thought, leave some things to the three brothers and sisters to take care of, and she will be the last one to settle the accounts.

After eating breakfast, he explained the matter to the three brothers and sisters, and then they went to work.Tang Shuyi leaned comfortably on the brocade couch, drank tea and said to Cuizhu Cuiyun: "This child will be good when he grows up!"

Cuizhu and Cuiyun were all laughing beside, Cuiyun replied: "Madam taught well."

Tang Shuyi laughed, "Your mouth is getting sweeter."

The three masters and servants laughed again. At this moment, Housekeeper Zhao came over and reported to Tang Shuyi: "That nanny from the Liang family is here again."

Tang Shuyi was taken aback when she heard this, and then said, "Let her come and answer."

Housekeeper Zhao responded and went out, and came in with a nanny in her 40s after a while.Tang Shuyi knew this nanny. The last time she cooperated with Concubine Liang, it was this nanny who sent her a letter.

"Greetings to Mrs. Guogong." The nanny saluted Tang Shuyi in a polite manner.

"Get up." Tang Shuyi waved her hand, then asked her to sit down and asked, "What's the matter today?"

"The imperial concubine said that last time she cooperated with Madam very happily, and this time she gave Madam a big gift, and hoped to cooperate with Madam in the future." said the nun.

Tang Shuyi smiled lightly, she didn't believe this.Although she cooperated well with Concubine Liang last time, it doesn't mean Concubine Liang doesn't hate her.After all, whether it was Liang Jian'an's death or the second prince's death, they were more or less related to them.

So she thought so in her heart, but she still said, "Mammy, please tell me."

The nanny nodded, and then said: "Yesterday, the noble concubine got the news that Prince Su begged the emperor to grant marriage to Princess Huixin and Prince Xiao."

After she finished speaking, the room was so quiet that one could not help but be careful when breathing.

And Tang Shuyi clenched his hands tightly into fists at this moment, so he didn't know that Li Huixin and Prince Su were really wishful thinking!One is a concubine born to a few concubines, and it's nothing more than a eldest son who wished to climb up her family's Zhilan Yushu. Prince Su actually wanted the emperor to marry him and forced them to marry. Do you really think that people in the royal family can do whatever they want?

She took a deep breath, and then said to Mammy: "You tell the imperial concubine, no matter what the purpose is for him to tell me this, I will thank her."

Mammy nodded, "Yes, the slave has left."

Tang Shuyi nodded and told Cuiyun to send her away, she sat there with a sneer.Some people like to be self righteous!

"When the Duke returns home, please invite him to Anyuan." Tang Shuyi said to Cuizhu.

Cuizhu responded and went out.

...........

In the imperial study room of the palace, the emperor came back to review the memorials after he came down from court.But as soon as he reviewed a few copies, he threw them aside and said to Jiao Kangsheng: "Tell me, what reason to give Huixin and Xiao Yuchen a marriage will be reasonable."

After hearing this, Jiao Kangsheng's face wrinkled into a bun. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm stupid, I can't figure it out."

The emperor glared at him and said, "Tell Wu Zhengxin to come over."

Wu Zhengxin is a first-rank privy envoy and the emperor's confidant.

Because Wu Zhengxin had just come to court, Wu Zhengxin hadn't gone far, and came over in a short while.After the ceremony, the emperor asked him to sit down, and then fell silent.The emperor was thinking, how to say it would not appear that he was not generous enough in what he did.

Even in the face of his cronies, he still wants them to think that he is a fair and wise person.

"Dongguo has made great achievements. Although I have given him a lot of rewards, I think it is still not enough." The emperor said: "I have been thinking for the past two days. If I don't marry the eldest son of Dingguo, it can be regarded as my favor." of the heart."

"Your Majesty is really kind-hearted. You have shown Duke Ding so much favor. If Duke Ding... will be despised by the world." Wu Zhengxin said immediately.

What if?

Of course, if you are disrespectful to the emperor, if you want to rebel.

Wu Zhengxin was able to be the emperor's confidant, and his skills in flattering and winking were naturally top-notch.I heard him say again: "Who is the emperor planning to marry to Shizi Xiao?"

"Prince Su's beloved daughter, Princess Huixin." The emperor said.

Wu Zhengxin: "..."

This is too unsuitable!One is the concubine's daughter born to a concubine of the nineteenth house, and the other is the eldest son and eldest son of the Duke of Chaopin, how can they get together!

Then the emperor said again: "Although Huixin is a concubine, but Prince Sun's palm pearl was also made a princess by me, and she is worthy of Xiao Yuchen in terms of status."

"The emperor is right." Wu Zheng said.

His principle is that as long as the emperor says it is right.Even if the emperor said that farts are delicious, he would definitely agree.

"It's just that I'm afraid that Xiao Aiqing will think that Huixin is a concubine, and I don't agree." The emperor said again: "You think about it for me, how can this imperial decree be issued, so Duke Ding can't pick it out."

Wu Zhengxin was speechless again. As an emperor, you can just make whatever order you want.If you want to force Xiao Huai to accept the order, but you don't want people to say that you are persecuting a hero, you really deserve it!
