wealthy queen

The ministers actually had a good idea. With Pei Yuanlie's status, he could choose any of the legitimate sons and daughters of the Xia Kingdom, but they didn't know that for Pei Yuanlie, none of them were Shen Liang. All he wants is Shen Liang!

How dare they!

Pei Yuanfeng exchanged glances with Chu Li calmly, and then both looked at the lazy and indifferent couple on the dragon chair. On the surface alone, it was basically impossible to see that there was anything unusual about them, but based on their attitude towards Pei Yuanlie I understand, not to mention that he loves Shen Liang deeply, even if he doesn't, it's impossible for the courtiers to meddle in his private affairs. They don't know him too well.

"Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Shen Liang, who was regarded as an evildoer, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup on the dragon case, his body softened, and he fell towards Pei Yuanlie with the utmost allurement. When Lu and others heard the words, they looked up and almost ran away on the spot. The teacup was delivered to Pei Yuanlie's mouth, but he opened his mouth and took a sip. He leaned over his mouth regardless of the presence of civil and military officials, and fed the tea into his mouth in the most intimate way. Now, the queen The thing about being an evildoer is completely confirmed.

Pei Yuanfeng and Chu Li both had the urge to faint with their hands on their foreheads. A third child is enough to torment. Now that it's all over, it's going to be cold again. I'm really worried for all the officials. I'm afraid their little hearts will often cry There are signs of excessive beating. I wonder if it is too late for the Tai Hospital to prepare a batch of heart-saving pills?

"His Majesty!"

Staring at Shen Liang viciously, Lu Xiang could be said to be heartbroken, why should such evildoers be the next?

"The tea fed by the queen is really sweet."

Without even looking at him, Pei Yuanlie raised his hand, and the back of his fingers gently slid across his fair and delicate cheeks, Shen Liang pretended to be shy: "It's as long as His Majesty likes it."

The couple sang together, as if there was such a thing, and they were so angry that people couldn't pay for their lives. On the other side, Lan Yunchan narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously caressed the little finger of his right hand with his left hand. It's interesting, this queen is so interesting !

"What did Xiang Lu just say? Liangliang is not suitable for the empress?"

Seeing that Lu Xiang would have angina if he continued to play, Pei Yuanlie finally turned to him mercifully, still holding Shen Liang's hand and playing with it, showing no intention of letting go.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Lu Shuren didn't shy away from it, his face was dark, Pei Yuanlie nodded his head and asked inexplicably: "Liangliang is not suitable for the empress, so Lu Xiang thinks, who is suitable?"

"This requires the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites to discuss and submit a list of suitable albums for His Majesty to personally order."

Not knowing why he would ask such a question, Lu Shuren thought for a while before saying.

"I'm not in the mood to read the album, I'm busy, how about Lu Xiang give me some examples?"

Just looking at Pei Yuanlie's face, it was really hard to tell what was going on, and Pei Yuanfeng and Chu Li who were on the side had no intention of intervening. The officials should also see clearly what kind of person their emperor was.

"The old minister thinks that Wu Pei, the second son of the Minister of War, Wan Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the university scholar, Cui Ying, the third daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and Lu Mengluo, the eldest daughter of the fourth son of the old minister, are all good candidates for the position of queen. .”

The virtuous did not avoid relatives, Lu Xiang not only recommended other people's twin sons and daughters, but also his own granddaughters. It's one-on-one, and Pei Yuanzheng didn't express his opinion right away. When it was surprising, Shen Liang started to write, and everyone's eyes focused on him in unison. Some were defensive and some were curious.

"Wu Pei, the second son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wan Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the university scholar, Cui Ying, the third daughter of the Shangshu of the Household Department, and Lu Mengluo, the granddaughter of Lu Xiang, are there any more?"

It turned out that what he wrote was the names of those people recommended by Lu Xiang just now. Feeling that he was being played with, Lu Xiang became annoyed and said, "Aren't these enough?"

"It's a little short, everyone, you're welcome, if anyone thinks that their twin sons and concubine daughters are good, they can say so, and I will record them one by one."

Ignoring his sarcasm, Shen Liang said with a smile while holding a pen, as for why he wrote down this roster, only he himself knows, in short, it is definitely not to pick a queen.

All the officials looked at me and I looked at you. They wanted to recommend their children, but no one dared to speak without knowing his intentions.

"There are only four, forget it, let's just leave it at that."

After waiting for a long time for them to recommend themselves, Shen Liang feigned regret, and suddenly, a pair of beautiful eyes shot at Lu Shuren sharply: "However, there is one thing that I don't quite understand. Prime Minister Lu keeps saying that I am not suitable to be a queen. What is not suitable, I hope Lu Xiang can explain clearly."

When he recommended his granddaughter, Shen Liang didn't intend to be polite to them. If he kept quiet, they might really think he was easy to bully.

"Master Shen, what do you think is suitable for you to be a queen?"

Compared to the respect he showed towards Pei Yuanlie, Lu Shuren was very rude when facing Shen Liang. In his opinion, Shen Liang was not worthy of being queen.

"Lu Xiang said before, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, right? I remember you also cited a few points, first of all, the family background is prominent, this palace comes from the family of a prince, the elder brother is the Marquis of Dongling, and the elder brother and sister-in-law are the God of War in the Great Qin Dynasty. A marquis with two sons, and his grandfather is a general of Daqin Zhenguo. Several uncles and cousins ​​are all generals. I almost forgot that my third brother, Wei Xuan, is the eldest daughter-in-law of the general's mansion. With such a background, he should Are you qualified to be the future?"

Quietly pressing Pei Yuanlie's hand, Shen Liang slowly counted his own background, there are many things he didn't say, for example, the old patriarch of Murong's family, the richest man in Qin Dynasty, is his adoptive father, and the future emperors and empresses of Wei State are all them My good brother and so on, but the previous ones are enough, so you have to keep a low profile.

"..."

Indeed, enough is enough. If it were placed in the Xia Kingdom, even his granddaughter Lu Shuren would have to give way. Lu Shuren was silenced by him, and wanted to say that all his identities were in the Qin Kingdom. If it were placed in Xia Kingdom, he would be nothing, but the emperor was watching covetously, even if he didn't show face, he would still have to worry about the last sliver of affection.

"What else is there?"

Shen Liang pretended not to remember clearly, and Pei Yuanlie said "kindly", "virtuous and benevolent, knowledgeable and reasonable."

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty."

After slightly nodding at him, Shen Liang stood up slowly: "The so-called virtuous and benevolent is nothing more than serving a good husband and loving the people like a son. I don't think I need to ask Your Majesty personally if I have done the former, right? Well, Lu Xiang might as well send someone to Qin to inquire about the prestige of the palace among the people. To put it bluntly, looking around the world, there is no second Shuanger who is more loved by the people than the palace. You keep saying that this palace is not suitable to be a queen, not worthy of your emperor, but do you know, in the hearts of the people of Daqin, whether your emperor is worthy of this palace?"

At the end of the story, the smile on Shen Liang's face disappeared. After two months of trekking, he finally arrived at the Xia Kingdom Palace. Before he could catch his breath, these civil and military ministers appeared one by one. , the palace gate embarrasses him, he can understand their hatred for Qin, say in front of him that he is not suitable to be the empress, and even cites his granddaughter as the empress, this is unbearable, if he didn't treat Qin as empress from the beginning Their arrogance is suppressed, and I am afraid that they will often bother them with this kind of thing in the future.

"You... bold!"

How dare he say that the emperor is not worthy of him? !

Such an insolent Shuang'er was almost the only one seen in person. Lu Shuren was trembling with anger, pointing at him with trembling fingers.

"You are the one who is bold!"

Pei Yuanlie, who had been suppressed by Shen Liang before making no sound, jumped up, and angrily scolded side by side with Shen Liang: "Shen Liang has been my wife five years ago, and for five years, he has shared weal and woe with me and fully assisted me. When my life was dying, he was the one who rescued me with all his might, and even cured the poison of blood and sun that had plagued me for nearly 20 years, if he is not worthy to be queen, then you are not worthy to be ministers!"

The slender fingers pointed at them one by one, and Pei Yuanlie was really angry. They insinuated that Liangliang was a monster, and he was not worthy of being the queen. At this time, they dared to point at him and scold him, who gave them that? right?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The old minister has overstepped his status on the spur of the moment."

Realizing that he was confused by anger, Lu Shuren bowed to apologize, but before Pei Yuanlie could respond, he raised his head again and said: "But Mr. Shen is too insolent, and his appearance is indeed too gorgeous. Concubine is acceptable, Empress Dowager must not, Your Majesty!"

He couldn't clearly say that Shen Liang was from Qin, and he couldn't be his queen in Daxia. After all, Pei Yuanlie also had half of Qin's blood on his body, so he could only work on his behavior and appearance.

"According to what you said, I can only marry an ugly monster?"

Pei Yuanlie almost made him pee, is there something wrong with being good?

"No, the old minister didn't mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?"

I couldn't bear to listen to his nonsense any more, so Pei Yuanzheng interrupted him mercilessly: "Mr. Lu, I respect you as the assistant minister left to me by my grandfather. Let's let it go today. If you say one more word, I will leave you alone." Let the position of prime minister be given to others. Please remember, you are the assistant minister. What you assist is political affairs, not my marriage. Whoever I want to be queen is my private matter. Don't take me for granted. Those emperors you have seen in the past, I don’t need to rely on the harem to balance the previous dynasty!”

It can be said that these words did not save any affection at all. Lu Xiang was blushed by the words, and he didn't know whether it was ashamed or angry. After all, at his age, he was enough to be Pei Yuanlie's grandfather, but now he was rejected. He scolded him as a grandson.

"Kneel down if you have nothing to do. I'm tired and need to rest. I'll talk about things tomorrow morning."

Forgive him for not daring to make fun of his own phase, Pei Yuanlie flicked his hands, hugged Shen Liang and sat down again.

"Yes, the old minister retire!"

"Sir, please retire!"

Seeing that his attitude was tough, and Shen Liang was not a soft persimmon, Lu Xiang had to lead the officials to retreat temporarily, and Lan Yunchan, who was sitting by the side, also stood up and left with a bow.

"Third Brother, Liang Liang, you guys did a great job."

When there were only a few of them in the imperial study room, Chu Li gave them a thumbs up. Pei Yuanlie glanced at him lightly, and frowned at Pei Yuanfeng: "Boss, when did Xiang Lu become so domineering and rely on the old?"

He was not like this six years ago, otherwise Grandpa wouldn't have let him be the assistant minister.

"Ugh……"

Pei Yuanfeng sighed deeply: "The environment is too easy to change a person, not only Lu Xiang, but many ministers who once dedicated themselves to the country have inflated their ambitions. In the past, Xia Guo, who was burdened with blood and deep hatred, had to swallow his anger and fight Losing teeth and swallowing blood, everyone held back their energy and moved towards the same place. Since Xia Kingdom annexed Chu Kingdom and became one of the five major kingdoms, everyone has gradually changed. Those who have changed greatly, I dealt with it a long time ago, and the rest are hidden relatively deeply, and I never thought that Liang Liang's appearance would actually involve Lu Xiang, and the attraction of the latter is not insignificant to them."

The human heart is always the most unpredictable thing.

"Humph!"

Pei Yuanlie snorted coldly, it seems that before dealing with foreign troubles, one has to sort out internal troubles first.
