According to the situation of the country

Eunuch Chunlei walked towards the side door of the palace in a hurry, his thin body was so thin that he couldn't tell he was about to be 60 years old. Seeing that he turned this fork in the road and he was not far from the side door, his withered fingers were busy Lifting his robe, he bumped into the maidservant holding the copper basin as soon as he turned around. Chunlei was anxious at first, but the sudden appearance made him jump, and saw all the water in the copper basin poured out , hastily pushed away the maidservant who bumped into him, and took a closer look, the front of the clothes was completely wet, and a large area was printed on his body, Chunlei was so angry that his eyes were like copper bells, trembling all over, pointing at the girl from which courtyard she didn't know. Cursed: "You don't have eyes, you—! You can't see clearly, so you just bumped into this, the miscellaneous people think you are too long—!"

"Deputy Manager, please forgive me, please forgive me—" The maidservant in a peach red dress hurriedly got up from the ground, trembling with fright, knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy, "Slaves should die, servants should die..." Steward, this maid fell even harder and got wet all over, she didn't care about the pain and just begged for mercy.Who in this palace doesn't know that Deputy Chief Chunlei loves to punish people the most, even beating and scolding is light.

"Hmph! Today, if you say it out loud, Miscellaneous will cut your tongue off!" Chun Lei's deputy chief said viciously.

"Yes—yes—" The servant girl was so frightened that she lost her soul, she nodded hurriedly with a face of panic, lying on the ground, she didn't see any orders from the deputy chief, she raised her head in doubt, Only then did he see that there were no figures on the path, and the deputy manager of Chunlei had long since disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tears from his face, picked up the copper basin that was knocked on the ground, and ran away in aggrieved manner.

After exiting the side door, Chun Lei slowed down his pace and turned to both sides carefully, seeing that there was no one around, he picked up his robe and hurriedly walked deep into the alley.After leaving the alley, there was a carriage standing quietly not far away. Eunuch Chunlei was familiar with the road, so he lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

"Eunuch Chunlei—" Song Ruoming waited for him from the car for almost two hours, but he was looking forward to it, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his face, "Elder-in-law, it's hard work, I don't know where the prince— —?" As he spoke, Song Ruoming silently took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them over.Last night, I was careless too. When I woke up, the prince was nowhere to be seen. If Xiangye found out, I'm afraid...

"Master Song has spent a lot of money, how can I let the miscellaneous family feel sorry for it." Chun Lei's dead wood-like old face did not show any regrets, and he stretched out his hand to put away a stack of bank notes.

"Father-in-law, you are being polite. No one knows that this Yongwang Mansion cannot do without you, and the prince cannot do without you. Those of us who are subordinate officials also want to find a chance to honor the prince."

"Hahahaha... Mr. Song is really flattering miscellaneous families. But Mr. Song, the servant of the household department, has a bright future."

The two looked at each other, then laughed again.

"I don't know—the prince returned home last night, how are you feeling today?" Song Ruoming asked hesitantly.

"My lord went back to the mansion last night, and he hasn't got up yet." Chunlei was also puzzled, wondering what Mr. Song paid attention to this time, and sent someone to the mansion early in the morning.

Song Ruoming smiled slightly, put down a big stone in his heart, and immediately exchanged greetings with Eunuch Chunlei...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Marquis Jirong's mansion is built near the lake, far away from the capital, which is very similar to Marquis Jirong's current state of mind. They all say that the great hermit lives in the city, and it is true.

"Father——" the girl in green shirt gently pushed open the door, and called out tentatively, with concern in her voice, she looked at the ancient books scattered all over the floor in the study room, and the old man with half-haired hair was bending over Turning back and forth, the back looks a little anxious, completely immersed in his mind, but there is no reaction at all.

The girl in green frowned, and couldn't help calling out again, "Father—" The voice was like a sparrow from the North Sea, with a moving voice, as bright as new.

The old man was stunned for a moment, still holding the book in his hand, then he turned around, his wandering eyes seemed to find a gleam of clarity, his silent face immediately lit up, and he smiled lovingly, "So it's Han'er Why are you here?" Only then did the green-shirted girl see a blue and white porcelain bowl on the tray in her hand, and said knowingly: "Bring porridge for Daddy?"

"The butler said, Daddy, you haven't slept all night..." The girl in green looked worriedly at the ancient books scattered at her feet, feeling inexplicably worried, looked up at the old man, and asked hesitantly, "Dad, are you What's on your mind? Could it be related to the imperial examination?"

Ji Ronghou Liu Fei took the bird's nest porridge from the girl in green shirt, and said kindly: "Silly boy, what big deal can Daddy, a reclusive old man, do? The imperial examination is a matter for the royal family, and it is arranged by the Holy Majesty. Daddy is just an official in charge. "Liu Fei said, paused for a moment and continued: "Father is old, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to serve the Holy One, and after this imperial examination, he will never go out of the mountain again."

"That's good," the green-shirted girl frowned upon hearing Liu Fei's words, and a smile as calm as the sea appeared on her peach-like face, "Father, drink this bowl of porridge while it's hot."

"Okay, dad will drink it now." He looked at his little daughter lovingly, if there was anything left to let go, it might be the little daughter's marriage.

"Is it good?" The girl in green was expecting her father's answer.

"Bang bang bang——" the door of the study was knocked again, and before she could answer, Liu Fei leaned against the bowl and her fingers trembled slightly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

"Master Hou—?" the butler called out tentatively, and said hesitantly: "I received a greeting card at the door, saying that it is the master, you will know it after reading it." Holding the gold-plated greeting card in his hand, the butler looked Familiar but seems to have never seen it before, don't think it must be those dignitaries in the city.

"Come in—" Liu Fei put down the bowl in her hand with firm eyes.Watching the butler walking towards him step by step.Liu Han had an intuition that this greeting card was on his father's mind. It seemed that his father had been waiting for this moment these days.Liu Han stared at his father's familiar face, trying to see something, but his father swept away the previous anxiety, and his face was calm except for calm.Liu Han could only see the corrected and beautiful font on the greeting card from a distance. Although he couldn't see what was written on it, he knew that there were not many words on it, but his father read it carefully. There were only three lines of greeting cards. But let the all-powerful right minister look at it again and again.

"Housekeeper, prepare the car—" Liu Fei finally put down the greeting card in her hand.

"Father? Are you going out?"

"Yes——" Liu Fei looked at her daughter, smiled, and said, "Han'er has grown up. Since your mother passed away, we father and daughter have been dependent on each other all these years. She felt relieved and left alone."

Liu Han's nose was sour, and his father rarely mentioned his mother.Since the death of his mother, the right minister who helped the world gradually disappeared, and the talented and passionate right minister disappeared overnight, and he couldn't help asking, "Father, do you miss your mother?"

Liu Fei raised her head, she could feel the sudden dampness in her dry eyes, and she said lightly, "One day Daddy will still find your mother."

Where did Liu Fei froze, the picture in her mind was the passing time, suddenly interrupted by soft sobbing, "Why is Han'er crying?" Liu Fei asked nervously.

The girl in the green shirt didn't answer, but sobbed softly.

"Han'er, when you grow up, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Dad is getting old. He can't be with you forever. In the future, you will find a husband like your mother. He will love you well for dad."

"Han'er, I just want to be with my father all the time, and I want my father to be with Han'er all the time." The girl in green shirt was wronged and lay on her father's body, sobbing lightly, stubbornly grabbing the hem of his father's clothes.

"Silly boy——" Liu Fei gently supported her daughter's back with one hand, and hurriedly put the other hand to the corner of her eyes to wipe away the overflowing tears, but said in her heart over and over again: "Silly boy, why doesn't dad not think about it?"

Ji Ronghou sat in the carriage and let the coachman drive the cart across the entire city from the western suburbs to the eastern suburbs, and the imperial examination was just around the corner.Liu Fei just watched silently, her mind was empty.Suddenly the carriage stopped, and before he could open his mouth, a resounding voice came from: "In the carriage is Liu Fei, Marquis of Ji Rong—?" Although it was a questioning tone, it carried an unquestionable flavor.

Liu Fei held the curtain of the car with one hand, and Leng Jun looked at the people standing outside the car, and said lightly, with an inviolable majesty in his voice, "Exactly."

"Your Majesty has been waiting here for a long time. Please—ask the Marquis to change into a carriage." The general in uniform flashed his token while speaking.

Liu Fei was slowly helped out of the carriage by her own coachman, and the general also hurriedly stepped forward to help her. When Liu Fei got into the carriage, she realized that the carriage had no windows. She didn't know where it was going, only that it was about to leave again. After half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and the general in uniform appeared again, "Your Majesty, I have offended you." With a thunderous voice, he covered Liu Fei's eyes as he spoke, and was helped out of the carriage. After walking for a stick of incense in the dark, I only felt that I was led into a room.

Suddenly, Liu Fei felt that someone was taking off the blindfold for him, and immediately there was a bright light in front of him. The person standing in front of him was none other than Lin Jin, the current sage. become more real.

Liu Fei hurriedly knelt down, "See Your Majesty." The room was spacious and there was only the Emperor alone.

Lin Jin hurriedly reached out to help him up, "Ji Ronghou, get up quickly—" His voice was low and dignified, and he quietly looked at the old man in front of him, with mixed thoughts in his heart.

"I prepared some food and wine today, and I want to have a good drink with Ronghou." Lin Jin's voice trembled slightly.

"It's my humble minister's honor." Liu Fei looked at Lin Jin respectfully, and said that Lin Jin was going to help Liu Fei into the table. Liu Fei hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I can't do it, my sage can't do it."

Lin Jin could hardly control the sadness in his heart, his voice was trembling, and he took a deep breath before calming down and said: "In terms of seniority, I should call you uncle, and let me help you."

Liu Fei was already in tears, so she could only nod her head reluctantly.

Lin Jin held the pot and slowly poured a glass of wine for Liu Fei. Liu Fei felt relieved as she looked at the emperor whom she was assisting in front of her.

"Ronghou—we have been a monarch and minister for more than ten years. You are also a teacher and a friend to me, but I haven't poured a glass of wine for you yet. Today's glass of wine—" Lin Jin's tears burst from his eyes. slipped out.

Liu Fei already had tears streaming down her face, tremblingly took the wine offered by Lin Jin, and said, "If you are a subject, you will die without any regrets. Besides, if you have met two wise lords in your life, what's the point of dying?" Fear." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Lin Jin drank the wine in the cup with tears in his eyes.In the end, she couldn't help but hugged Liu Fei's clothes and cried loudly: "But I can't bear you - I can't bear you, but I really have no other choice, really there is no other way."

"Your Majesty, you can only gain if you give up. What's more, the minister is getting old, and the Majesty still has to do something when he is young! For the sake of the country, the country, the country, the old minister will go through fire and water." After a while, Liu Fei wiped her face with her sleeve Tears, as if it was really just overflowing water, "Thank you, my lord, for seeing off the old minister today, but I have to say goodbye after sending you off for thousands of miles. After drinking this cup, the old minister and the holy majesty will bid farewell—" Liu Fei said Get up and walk out the door.

Standing there, Lin Jin looked at Liu Fei who was stumbling along, feeling as if his heart was dead silent, and shouted loudly, "Uncle——"

Liu Fei stood still in a daze, and turned around after a long time.

"Uncle, please accept Lin Jin's worship." Lin Jin knelt down as he said that, and the high and mighty emperor knelt down so devoutly.

Liu Fei was shocked, and when she realized that Lin Jin had already knelt down on the ground, Liu Fei also knelt down hurriedly, crying: "I can't do it, I can't do it..."
