great mandate

On New Year's Eve, the palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and a large banquet is held.

This is the first year of the new king's reign, so it is natural to make a big deal so as not to lose the face of the new king.

This night, all the officials gathered, and the women in the harem would also be present. Shen Wuji didn't always wear bright red tassels like usual. He changed into a water green brocade suit, and even the tassels on his crown were changed to green Yes, take the principle of "green leaves with red flowers" to set off the nobles.

When he came out in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, all his colleagues praised him for his extraordinary demeanor, they surrounded him and walked outside, talking some funny things along the way.

Until the imperial garden, the little eunuch came running on the snow, and greeted all the big eunuchs one by one. At the end, he said to Shen Wuji: "Everything is fine, the nobles have gradually entered the table, it's just that the emperor needs you to invite him."

"There is still half an hour, I will invite the emperor later." Shen Wuji said, "Everyone, go and talk to your lords first."

The eunuchs nodded, winked at each other, cheered up 12, and walked towards the hall.

Thanks to the blessing of Cao Guozhong in the previous dynasty, the ruling and opposition parties once hated the eunuch to the bone, and wished they could cut their flesh and cramps.

Fortunately, in the final battle to bring down Cao Guozhong, Shen Wuji made great efforts to turn the tide and save the lives of these irrelevant eunuchs.

It's just that the relationship is delicate, and both sides are testing each other.

Shen Wuji didn't go to the hall, he planned to walk slowly to the emperor's side, but stopped before taking two steps, and said with a warm smile: "King Jia, Mr. Yu Ge, Jun Taiwei, happy new year."

It was the late emperor's nephew Jia Wang, Ge Lao Yu Huailiang and Tai Wei Jun Qi who came to meet him.

Regardless of the first two, the third Jun Taiwei, he has a clan brother named Jun Luchen, who is the supervisor of the Taixue, and Jun Luchen has a son named Jun Ruoqing, who is Luo Jinyu's classmate of the Taixue.

Luo Jinyu was expelled from Taixue for insulting Jun Luchen, and was wrongly imprisoned.

Shen Wuji would not believe it if it was said that there was no Jun Taiwei's handwriting behind it.

"Eunuch Shen, happy new year."

These three also spoke affectionately to Shen Wuji.

Jia Wang was at the age of a romantic and carefree person, and at the same time, he winked at Shen Wuji and teased, "My father-in-law must have had a better year this year than in previous years."

Jun Qi asked: "Why did the lord make such a statement?"

Shen Wuji also pretended to listen respectfully.

Yu Ge was old and not as lively as the younger generation, so he looked over hesitantly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, King Jia smiled triumphantly, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch is still pretending here, I have heard that Luo Jinyu has now been released from prison and entered the father-in-law's mansion, and has never come out again. .”

Yu Ge tried his best to listen with his ears, and showed a blank look like "the old man doesn't know who this is, and he doesn't understand what you mean".

Jun Taiwei stroked his beard and smiled, but he didn't speak.

Shen Wuji made a look of disdain, and said: "It's New Year's Eve, add bad luck to me."

Jia Wang smiled and said: "Come on, Shen Wuji, pretend to be with us here, it seems that no one in the capital city knows that you are so infatuated with Luo Dacai that you treat him like shit."

Shen Wuji showed a little embarrassment, he hesitated to speak, as if his unspeakable thoughts had been exposed.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's all right." King Jia comforted him, "You're still a famous scholar, shouldn't it be right to lose your face? A few days ago, this king praised a young lady who was a young girl, and she was also punished. Doesn’t this king take it easy on throwing face off?”

Shen Wuji: "..."

King Jia could see it too far. He originally planned for the princess to elope with her poor cousin before marriage, so he had to lie that the princess had died of a sudden illness, and passed the door with a memorial tablet. Not long after, his concubine had an affair with the guards of the palace and became pregnant. , had to be beaten to death secretly, and lied that he died of a sudden illness again.

Now he sees it away, doesn't love women, and instead favors young ladies.

Unexpectedly, the gold was also given away, and the silver was also given away. In the end, the young man knelt down and cried, saying that he was unwilling, because he was sold in, and he couldn't accept the man even if he died.

Seeing that Shen Wuji didn't speak, King Jia continued to comfort him: "This Luo Jinyu has nowhere to go now, it's in your hands, why don't you let it be up to you? If you have revenge, if you have resentment, it's a great opportunity."

Before Shen Wuji could speak, Jun Taiwei smiled and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Eunuch Shen is a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade at first glance. Besides, where is the enmity between him and Luo Caizi? It's just that he can't ask for it for a long time."

Old Yu Ge looked left and right, and only then did he seem to understand, in a daze, he suddenly asked, "Eunuch Shen is getting married?"

The other three: "..."

Over the years, Mr. Yu Ge has become more and more like this, dazzled and deaf, and when talking to him on weekdays, his lips are always wrong, and he doesn't know what he listens to.

Elder Yu Ge was beaming, and said to Shen Wuji, "Congratulations, Eunuch Shen! Which family's daughter is it?"

Eunuch Shen: "..."

King Jia wanted to add to the confusion, so he leaned into Elder Yu Ge's ear and said loudly, "Elder Ge, it's not a girl from any family, but Luo Zishi from Taixue!"

When Yu Ge heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Luo Zishi... just listen to his name, he is a man."

Jia Wang said: "It's just a man, but the boss of the pavilion has to let people have the goodness of Long Yang."

Old Yu Ge nodded thoughtfully: "That's true." Then he said seriously to Shen Wuji, "But this man can't have children!"

Shen Wuji: "..."

Shen Wuji's smile was a little stiff.

Not to mention whether Luo Jinyu is a man or a woman, even if Shen Wuji had a hundred and eighty women, he still couldn't make one of them give birth to a child!

King Jia and Taiwei Jun finally felt very embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled Old Ge Yu and said, "Old Ge doesn't wear much today, and he is afraid of freezing outside, so let him go in first, let him in first."

Shen Wuji said with a smile: "Wuji will invite the emperor first."

King Jia waved his hand, and hurriedly carried Mr. Yu Ge to the hall with Taiwei Jun on the left and right.

Old Yu Ge stopped talking again.

King Jia and Taiwei Jun started talking in a low voice.

"I heard that Luo Jinyu came out of prison and went to Shen Wuji's mansion by himself. Shen Wuji didn't want him. He stood at the gate for a whole day and fainted from the cold. Then he entered the mansion." Jia Wang laughed, "Interesting .Why didn’t this king understand these two people.”

Jun Taiwei also laughed, as if Luo Jinyu's imprisonment or release had nothing to do with him, he pretended to be watching Shen Wuji's joke, and said in a low voice: "I heard that after Luo Jinyu's accident, Eunuch Shen helped his mother Collected corpses. Scholars always talk about benevolence and kindness, and you have to thank your benefactor."

"Thank you, it's meaningless to say it empty-handed, let's promise it with your body." Jia Wang laughed twice, winked and said, "No wonder Shen Wuji walks more briskly these days, you guess he got it." without."

Jun Taiwei smiled and said: "My lord is very careful, but I didn't see any difference. It's just, Eunuch Shen..."

He looked at Jia Wang meaningfully.

King Jia understood, and showed a tacit smile with Jun Taiwei. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the old man Yuge who was silent for a while: "Eunuch Shen, aren't you a eunuch?"

Jia Wang: "..."

Jun Taiwei: "..."

You just remembered this?

Old Yu Ge frowned slightly, pondering: "Then how can he consummate the house when he marries a wife?"

Jia Wang: "..."

Jun Taiwei: "..."

After a while, Jia Wang said: "Master Ge, there is a threshold, don't fall."

Jun Taiwei said: "Master Ge, lift your feet."

Mr. Yu Ge raised his foot obediently, and was dragged into the hall by the two of them. Immediately, other officials came to celebrate the New Year, and for a moment he forgot to continue thinking about how Shen Gonggong married his wife and consummated the house.
