After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips and gently took his hand: "Let's go find Ji Li and Si She."

Lu Yuan's ears turned red all the way down to his neck, but fortunately it was covered by the collar.

He said calmly, "I will not go."

"Go ahead, I'll buy you some candied haws."

Meng Qianqian coaxed softly.

Lu Yuan's face darkened: "Meng Xiaojiu!"

Meng Qianqian: "I was wrong."

In the end, Lu Yuan was led into the carriage by Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian finally understood that three generations of the family were the kind of people who would give in to soft words and not hard ones, so she had to just stroke their will.

When they arrived at Fengshui Hutong, Ji Li and Si She were not there.

"I'm out again. I'm busy."

Meng Qianqian touched the dust on the table and guessed that the two of them went out on the day of the emperor and empress's wedding.

Meng Qianqian went to visit Grandma Feng and Uncle Lei, but they didn't return to the alley until dark, so Meng Qianqian left a letter in the house.

Thinking of something, Meng Qianqian took out a few more copper coins and stuffed them into the envelope.

Lu Yuan looked at her in confusion.

Meng Qianqian explained: "Leave some money for them to eat."

Lu Yuan thought about it and took out a gold ingot from his arms.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly stopped him: "No, if you give me so much, I'm afraid the house will catch fire."

Ji Li has a fate with five disadvantages and three shortcomings. He will be unlucky if he has too much money.

Poor Si Snake, he was originally destined to be a rich and powerful young man, but after following Ji Li, he now couldn't even afford three meals a day.

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched: "He is so unlucky, can he find someone?"

Meng Qianqian said confidently: "Don't worry, he is the best at finding people!"

After all, his ability was acquired at the cost of a fate with five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

After leaving Fengshui Hutong, Meng Qianqian turned west.

Lu Yuan said: "That's not the way back home."

"I know. I'll go buy some candied haws."

"I won't eat anything so childish!"

Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows: "Oh, I bought it for Tan'er and Baoshu."

Lu Yuan: “…”

Zhuque Street is particularly lively tonight, with heavy traffic and people jostling each other. All the major shops are decorated with lights, vendors are shouting, and the air is filled with the atmosphere of thousands of lights.

"what."

Meng Qianqian opened her eyes wide.

Lu Yuan seemed to see her surprise and said calmly, "There is a lantern festival on Zhuque Street every August, which lasts until the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's not that beautiful during these few days, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is the peak season."

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Lu Yuan glanced at her and said, "You've lived in Beijing for several years. Haven't you ever been to the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head.

The Lu family has many rules, and she is a widow, so the old lady never allows her to go out to watch the fun.

"What kind of life have you been living in the Lu family?"

Lu Yuan muttered coldly and pushed through the crowd.

A young man turned around and glared at him: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "Looking at the lanterns, are they looking at you?"

The young man said angrily: "Hey - how can you talk like that?"

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Little brother, this is the first time my husband takes me to see the Lantern Festival. I am a little excited. Please forgive me."

Don't hit a smiling person. The young man said to Lu Yuan, "Your wife is really good at talking! Is this your first time? Okay, you guys stand in the front."

Lu Yuan naturally pulled Meng Qianqian to the front row.

"Who is it? He's so big, he's blocking the view! I can't even see the riddle!"

Someone behind me was shouting in dissatisfaction.

Lu Yuan stood out among the crowd, standing still.

The young man turned around and said to everyone, "This is the first time that the young man is taking his wife to see the lanterns. Stop complaining!"

Meng Qianqian gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you are so righteous."

"Which one do you want?"

Lu Yuan asked coldly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then he looked over Lu Yuan and asked Meng Qianqian on the other side: "Is your man talking to me?"

Meng Qianqian nodded with a smile: "My husband wants to give you a lamp as a token of his gratitude."

The young man looked Lu Yuan up and down and saw that he was dressed luxuriously, so he knew that he was either rich or noble.

However, he just smiled and shook his head: "The lanterns here are not bought with silver, but by guessing lantern riddles. We have been standing here for half an hour, and no one has guessed correctly..."

Half a minute later, the young man, holding countless lanterns in his hands, stared in a daze as Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian left with their achievements accomplished.

It rained heavily at night and the weather became cooler.

Lu Yuan's cold symptoms would flare up several times every autumn and winter. When they flare up, even the joints between his bones would feel chilly.

He was already used to having cold limbs.

However, when he woke up, his cold palm was held by a warm hand.

His eyes moved, and he looked at the top of the mandarin duck tent with a complicated expression. After a while, he took her hand away, gently lifted the quilt and got down to the ground.

-

Today is the first morning court session after the Emperor and Empress’ wedding.

The court was very lively.

Zong Zhengxi saw that all the ministers were present, and he immediately announced the imperial decree to reinvestigate the Chu family case. Unexpectedly, he was opposed by the court officials.

"Your Majesty, the Chu family was a case handled during the reign of the Emperor. The evidence is irrefutable and Madam Chu is the murderer. Now you want to overturn the case. This is questioning the Emperor and the criminal judges who worked diligently and devotedly for the court!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is against filial piety!"

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue successively raised objections.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Works and the Minister of War also held up their tablets and asked Zong Zhengxi to revoke his decision.

The Minister of Rites was a sly old scoundrel who closed his eyes and pretended to be dead in the back.

Zong Zhengxi frowned and looked at the Minister of War: "Lord Huo, do you also disagree with my decision?"

Zong Zhengxi had never expected the opposition from the Minister of War. He had always trusted the Minister of War very much, and the Minister of War also stood firmly by his side, helping him to fight against the former Lu Yuan.

Of course, he now knows that Lu Yuan is not what he seems.

Minister Huo said: "I am doing this for your majesty's sake."

Zong Zhengxi glanced at everyone and asked, "Are the others going to object too?"

The ministers knelt down one after another, holding their tablets and saying, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order..."

The Minister of Rites looked around and saw that the person in front of him knelt, the person on his left knelt, and the person on his right and the person behind him also knelt.

Should I kneel or not?

He whispered to Minister Xing and winked: Old Xing, what do you say?

Minister Xing did not kneel.

But as more and more officials knelt down, and there were only a few left, the Minister of Rites' eyes flashed, and he went to fill the numbers with his tablet in hand.

In the end, only Lu Yuan, Prime Minister Xun, Shangshu Xing, Jijiu Lin, and Censor Wang were left standing upright in the court.

Zong Zhengxi opened his mouth and asked, "Do you agree to re-investigate the Chu family's case?"

Prime Minister Xun said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have just returned to the capital, so I will listen to you gentlemen."

"Hahaha! A first-rank prime minister actually has to listen to others. Are you so humble?"

The Miao King swaggered into the Golden Throne Hall and bowed to the young emperor, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Zong Zhengxi said, "Miao King, please stand up."

King Miao picked up and dropped off Lu Yuan to and from court every day, but he never came to the Golden Palace. Everyone was quite surprised to see him.

Not only that, he also changed his usual farmer's attire and wore Miao ethnic clothing, carrying a strange big box on his back.

King Miao glanced at everyone and said, "Your Majesty, your court officials really like to blackmail the emperor."

Minister Huo said solemnly: "Miao Wang, please be careful with your words! We are admonishing Your Majesty not to go against filial piety."

King Miao frowned and approached Lu Yuan: "Grandson, my son cannot overturn the case handled by my father. Is this what he meant?"

Lu Yuan: “Almost.”

The Miao King suddenly realized and said wittily, "So Grandpa can turn it over?"

Everyone looked at King Miao strangely, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pulled out the large wooden box on his back, opened it, and took out a green sword with a dragon pattern.

"Here is the Imperial Sword! Seeing it is like seeing the Supreme Emperor!"

Everyone turned pale.

Prime Minister Xun knelt down immediately.
