over ten thousand people

There was nothing left and right, so I took Xie Jingyu to sleep again.Although the quilt has been changed, there is still a very faint scent of pine smoke and ink on it, and the soothing effect is stronger than that of rosewood. I almost fell asleep when I touched the pillow.When I woke up in the afternoon, I was really refreshed, and my body felt less sore and limp, so I wanted to go for a walk.

Xie Jingyu naturally had no objection.Since both of them missed lunch, he first called for food to be prepared.When I arrived in the garden pavilion, I immediately noticed that the cups and plates on the table were full of light-tasting and easy-to-digest foods.Think about the porridge from before...

I shook the corner of my robe and took my seat first. "Xie Xiang really took the trouble."

Xie Jingyu sat down and was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he noticed what I was talking about. "This is what I should do." He may have thought of something he shouldn't have thought of during the day, and his cheeks were a little red again.

I looked funny, but I didn't intend to expose it. "Why did you tell the people below in the morning? Did you stay in bed?" Zhen asked casually, and then sandwiched a piece of milk leather for myself.

"Of course not," Xie Jingyu said, and then pushed the milk dish in my direction, "If I don't say anything, no one dares to ask."

I thought so too.After the milk was put into my mouth, I stopped talking and started thinking about what excuse I should use today.After a while, I realized that this matter was not difficult at all, and the excuses were ready-made—Yong Meng and Xie Jingyu turned their faces, and I said that I came out of the palace to mediate between them, wouldn't that be enough?

With my worries resolved, I immediately had an appetite.After a while, the food disappeared like a storm.At this time, the sun had not yet slanted to the west, and the two discussed it, then walked in the corridor to digest food, and returned to the pavilion to chat after it was almost over.Although I am an emperor and he is a prime minister, it is inevitable to mention the affairs of the court in small talk; but maybe the target is different, and the atmosphere is quite relaxed.

When it gets dark, I still have some thoughts.As for Xie Jingyu, it is probably the same.But this person always hangs his duty as a minister above his head, even if he goes against his will, he still reminds me: "Your Majesty, the time is too late."

I raised my eyebrows and said intentionally: "Why, thank you so much for me to have dinner?"

"Of course not." Xie Jingyu shook his head immediately, "I have already been prepared by someone."

Hearing his confession, I looked over with a half-smile.That being the case, do you still want to drive me back to the palace?Sure enough, it was an act against one's will, right?

Although I didn't say it out loud, Xie Jingyu definitely knew what I meant, because he turned his head slightly, not daring to look me in the eyes. "I'm just..." He seemed to want to defend himself, he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing his embarrassment, I burst into joy. "Come on, where the hell is supper?"

It took seven invitations and eight reminders to have a light meal like in the afternoon. From the bottom of my heart, I felt that this matter must not be spread, otherwise my image of being wise and mighty would definitely be ruined.Therefore, when the market almost bottomed out, I said, "I've already made up my mind about today's matter. If anyone asks about it in the future, you can tell them that you were severely scolded by me today."

This is far from the truth, Xie Jingyu opened his eyes slightly.But his brain turned quickly, and he realized it in a while: "Because I have a dispute with His Royal Highness King Wei?"

I nod my head.The reasons for this cannot be disclosed to the public. On the surface, I can only pretend to be [-] each, and press things down. "I reckon that if I said something like that yesterday, no matter how good-tempered King Wei is, he would inevitably be seen by King Shun and others as unusual at the banquet. Since he is like this, you can't avoid it either."

Xie Jingyu thought for a while. "That minister's fake..."

"It is estimated that other people will think about it as facing the wall." Zhen said, "I have wronged you this time."

Xie Jingyu shook his head as expected. "It's really the best way, I don't feel wronged." After a short pause, he asked again: "But if we do this, His Royal Highness King Wei must also cooperate."

"You said it yourself, the king of Wei knows how to advance and retreat." I snorted lightly, "I don't believe that he can rush forward to do something that kills him."

"It's true, but..." Xie Jingyu said softly, still a little hesitant.

I couldn't help but look at him more.From the public's point of view, he speaks for Yongmeng; from the private point of view, he should be jealous more? "He's useless." I only said three words, which couldn't be more concise——

It was impossible before, impossible now, and even more impossible in the future!

The pavilion fell silent immediately.Xie Jingyu looked at me deeply, and there was no movement for a while.When he spoke again, he reached out to the wine jug on the table and poured out two glasses of sake. "I respect your majesty."

I looked down at the glass of wine in front of me. "It's too perfunctory for Prime Minister Xie to say that," I deliberately picked on him, "Where's the congratulatory message?"

Xie Jingyu was not stumped. "Your Majesty has stolen half a day's leisure," he blinked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Stealing half a day of leisure... I thought about it, and found that I had never spent such a comfortable and idle day, so I picked up the wine glass. "It's not half a day, it's a day."

At a time like this, Xie Jingyu certainly wouldn't argue with me. "Your Majesty said that a day is a day." He smiled slightly.

After drinking a glass of wine, I immediately filled it up for the two of them. "I would also like to thank you for a cup."

"Then I also want to ask, where is your majesty's congratulatory message?" Xie Jingyu followed suit and did not raise his glass.

I couldn't help snorting.The tricks I used just now, can I still not be on my guard? "I respect and thank you—" I deliberately made the ending extremely long, "every year has today, and every year has today."

Xie Jingyu was stunned, he obviously didn't expect that there was this sentence waiting for him behind me, his face was full of disbelief.After a long time, he murmured out something like a voice: "Your Majesty, this is..."

I know what the part he didn't finish - he may not miss what I said, but he will never ask for it; when I say what is in his heart, he feels that this promise is a great gift from heaven. "If Mr. Xie doesn't raise his glass again, I won't be able to hold it up anymore."

As if waking up from a dream, Xie Jingyu finally came to his senses.Two crystal clear white jade cups touched lightly, it was so clear that it didn't look like it was filled with wine, but it seemed to be filled with the brightest reunion moon.

**

Although I promised that Yongmeng would cooperate sensibly when I mentioned it with Xie Jingyu, but I only have a little confidence in my heart.Yongmeng has always been a person with many twists and turns, and this time it is the same; if he really saves face, it will be difficult for both sides.When I returned to the palace, I had to spend half the night thinking of countermeasures.

However, I made all kinds of preparations, but things didn't go as I expected——

When I went to court the next day, I didn't wait for Yongmeng to come, but I just waited for a slip of leave.There are only a few numbers in it, stating that I was suddenly ill, so I asked for leave.

I can recognize that it is indeed Yongmeng's handwriting, and I can also find that the person who wrote it is weak and weak, as if he is really sick.

But isn't this a joke?My front feet are angry, and his hind legs are sick. Isn't this too coincidental?

What's more coincidental is that Xie Jingyu also took sick leave.The two sides bumped into each other, and Yongzhi, who had given Yongmeng a false note, turned pale. "His Majesty held a banquet the day before yesterday. King Wei caught a cold when he returned to the mansion, and he was bedridden yesterday. I have gone to see it. According to the doctor, I am afraid that it will not recover for a while."

He said that obviously because he was afraid that I would think that Yongmeng was pretending to be sick.But even if I really thought so, I wouldn't let him find out. "It's really bad," I shook my head and sighed, "I haven't had a good Mid-Autumn Festival." Then, I ordered to give Xie Jingyu and Yong Meng some supplements.

Although this topic seems to be in the past, and I didn't bring it up again afterwards, all the ministers couldn't help but have some thoughts in their hearts.

It is well known that Xie Jingyu and Yong Meng had a falling out, and they both asked for leave at this time, which inevitably led them to guess that the two were related.What's more, Yongmeng met Sheng before going to the banquet, and I did not appear at the family banquet uncharacteristically.As for not having a good Mid-Autumn Festival, they can think of Xie Jingyu again.

The details seem to be right?Maybe Xie Xiang and His Royal Highness King Wei were ordered to think about it by His Majesty?

For a while, everyone in the court was in danger, thinking that I was angry.This kind of atmosphere lasted until Xie Jingyu sold out the vacation, because they found that I didn't intentionally give Xie Jingyu a hard time.Everything was as usual, it seemed that Xie Jingyu really just had a minor illness.

Yongmeng is not.Like Xie Jingyu, he also took half a month off.After half a month, Xie Jingyu began to go to court, and he asked Yongzhi to hand over a half-month leave in private.Another half a month has passed... well, the leave has gotten worse, and the bonus has been two months.

Again and again, is it possible to get seriously ill after catching a cold, or is this the only excuse he can think of?

Even if it was just handing over on behalf of him, Yongzhi could not help being trembling.Facing my question of "what's wrong with King Wei?", he couldn't explain why. "The doctor has changed several times, and the decoction is taken one by one, but it still doesn't get better." He was so worried that his face turned into a bitter gourd, "I was lethargic for most of the day, and I didn't talk when I woke up. Dedu wiped away tears several times in front of the minister."

...Sleeping for most of the day?Waking up and not talking?

What is this and what?Yongmeng should know that bitter tricks can't be sold here, right?

I can't help but mutter in my heart.But I don't think Yongzhi looks like a fake - it's impossible for him to fabricate subtleties and lie freely in front of me - he still has to say what he should say on the scene. "I really didn't expect to be so seriously ill after catching a cold. Otherwise, I will send a word to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and you can take a few people to Wei Wang's residence in a while."

Yongzhi immediately beamed with joy. "It's so good, I thank His Majesty on behalf of King Wei!"

Seeing his reaction like this, I am even more sure that he is telling the truth.After all, if Yongmeng really pretended to be sick, it would be impossible for him to pretend to be an imperial physician—that would be causing trouble for himself. "I often hear people say that sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. When you go to Wei Wang's mansion, take my words to Wei Wangfei by the way, so that she can feel at ease."

Naturally, Yongzhi was grateful again.When he resigned, I thought that this matter would only need to wait for the imperial physician to report back, and then went on to critique the papers.
