His Majesty And Ministers

July [-]th, full moon night, the evening breeze is cool.

Zhao Mansion, in Zhao Miaorong's Xiuwanzhai.

The girl Shuitao cut a new rose from the window with small silver scissors, put it on Zhao Miaorong's temple for comparison, and said with a smile: "Miss is so beautiful."

Zhao Miaorong was picking up the rose-colored rouge with a hairpin, nodded her lips to the mirror, and said with a smile: "Young girl is good at talking." But she couldn't help showing a look of joy on her face.

Shui Tao saw that she loved to listen, so she continued to compliment her: "Really, they all said that the eldest lady is famous all over the capital, but our lady is not inferior to her at all, not to mention her appearance, in terms of her figure, she is even better than her."

Zhao Miaorong couldn't help but raised her lips and chuckled, raised her hand to take the rose in Shuitao's hand, and gently put it into her hair.Shuitao clapped her hands in praise, and she felt even more proud.

Meng Qiucui walked to the partition and said with a smile: "The other side of the main room has been packed, hurry up."

"Here we come." Zhao Miaorong stood up with a smile, stroked her hair and walked forward.When walking past Meng Qiucui, she reached out and pulled the rose on her temples, Zhao Miaorong's smile froze.

Meng Qiucui looked at her and said coldly, "Don't be too ostentatious."

Zhao Miaorong looked at her with horror on her face, lowered her head and walked out.Shuitao followed her: "Miss..."

She gave her a cold look, which made Shuitao's heart shudder, and the next moment, she showed a soft smile: "It's okay, mother taught me the lesson."

"...Hey." Shuitao responded with trepidation.

The carriages and sedan chairs of the courtiers were all parked outside the palace, and after getting off the carriage, they had to enter the palace on foot.

Zhao Mingde got off the carriage, looked back at the female relatives behind him, and saw Mrs. Xu getting out of the carriage with the support of her mother, stepping on a low stool, followed closely by the eldest daughter Zhao Miaoling!

Zhao Mingde tried his best not to get angry, and he didn't bother to go forward to respond, so he walked into the palace gate with his sleeves thrown.Seeing this, Xu couldn't help gritting her teeth, she turned her head to Zhao Miaoling and said, "Be good after entering the palace, your father is already angry."

"Yes." At this moment, Zhao Miaoling's mind was full of the person she had dreamed about for two years, so she didn't bother to refute, "My daughter has an inch."

"En, good." Xu Shi looked at her beautifully dressed daughter, and smiled very proudly, but in a blink of an eye, seeing Zhao Miaorong who got off the car, her face turned cold again: "Follow carefully."

Zhao Miaorong blessed her body: "Yes."

Several officials' wives around came up to chat and laugh, Xu put on a warm smile again, pulled Zhao Miaoling, and entered the palace with them.

In Zhaoyang Hall.

Jing Ye watched all the officials enter the palace, one by one, brought their family members to bow down, and secretly covered his lips and yawned.

The desks of Lin Xiaosheng, Lu Baizang, and Gu Hong were placed on both sides of him.The two people in front didn't know what they were doing, they hadn't entered the palace yet, only Gu Hong was by his side, seeing his appearance, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is tired?"

Jing Ye glanced at him and nodded.

Gu Hong chuckled lightly, and stretched out the hand under the table to hold Jing Ye: "Your Majesty, bear with it, and Shichen will take His Majesty out secretly."

Jing Ye twitched his hand, but didn't break free.

At that moment, Zhao Mingde brought his family members into the hall, went forward to salute and said: "I see Your Majesty." After saying that, he knelt down and bowed down, followed by Mrs. Xu and Zhao Miaorong.The eldest daughter, Zhao Miaoling, was moved in her heart and couldn't help but look up.

Gu Hong was sitting in front of the case talking and laughing with the emperor. He was dressed in a fine attire and a jade crown, which could not hide his handsome and clear appearance like a god or Buddha, as if he was still the handsome young man in white in the prime minister's mansion back then.

She was so fascinated by it that she even forgot to do the courtesy.The people in the hall were noisy at first, but after being pointed out by the person who discovered the scene, they gradually became quiet.

Here Jing Ye swallowed the prepared "flat body" back, and glanced at the people around him.

Meeting the emperor but not being polite, the point is to be sentenced to death.People risk their lives just to see you.

Gu Hong didn't look at Miss Zhao's family who was standing dumbfounded at the bottom of the steps, but squeezed Jing Ye's hand tightly, and smiled: "Your Majesty, if you don't kneel and kowtow to the Holy Majesty, you have committed the crime of contemptuous of the king, and you should be punished. "

The ministers were in an uproar.

Zhao Miaoling, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, came back to her senses, and when she heard these words, her complexion turned pale.

Mrs. Xu also knelt at the bottom of the steps. Hearing this, she was startled, feared and hated, and hurriedly bent over and kowtowed: "The minister's wife has no way to teach, which makes the little girl lose her morality. Please look at the blood relationship, please forgive me." Too little girl!"

Jing Ye's eyes moved.

Zhao Mingde is Jing Ye's grandmother, firstly the emperor's grandnephew, if it comes to seniority, Jing Ye still has to call him "cousin".

Mrs. Xu pleaded guilty again and again by her side. Zhao Mingde hated her daughter for not knowing how to measure, but chose to remain silent.In his view, a big mistake has been made, no matter whether the crime is committed or not, the reputation of the Zhao family's lax family will be spread, and the reputation of the girl's family will also be ruined.According to this situation, not to mention that Miaoling herself caused trouble, it would also ruin the reputation and future of the other children of the Zhao family.

So far, there is only one thing that can turn these things—whether they are done in the past or what they are facing now—to reverse them all.

Just take that seat.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Mingde raised his head and said slowly: "Just as Zhuo Jing said, please recite your past love, even if there is no love, please look at it... for the sake of my minister."

As soon as this remark came out, even Gu Hong frowned, not to mention the officials in the palace, everyone shut their mouths tightly and thought about it.

Your face?What face do you have to make the emperor bow down?you are...

Jing Ye's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly: "Of course I want to buy Zhao Qing's face, let the whole family get up, it's hard to talk when kneeling."

Hearing this, Zhao Mingde got up and helped Mrs. Xu up.The husband and wife looked at each other, and Xu's position that had been disrupted just now came back, and he wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Miao Ling, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you apologize to Your Majesty?"

Zhao Miaoling hurriedly stepped forward to bless the body: "I thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness."

This family is really...Jing Ye didn't expect that Zhao Mingde would actually tear his face apart when he just wanted to find out on a whim.

Sure enough, you still can't hold back?

"Okay, this matter is over, all the gentlemen continue to have fun."

The silk and bamboo that had just stopped began to hum along with the emperor's words, and the courtiers then entered the hall to celebrate the birthday.

Those who couldn't understand the situation went on joking and joking, and those who could understand closed their mouths to cater to each other.

Jing Ye let out a soft breath and glanced around. Seeing this, Gu Hong smiled and asked, "Who is Your Majesty looking for?"

"Well, I'm looking for..." He searched to no avail, so he had to look away, "...Why don't you see Scholar Feng?"

Gu Hong's eyes darkened: "Master Feng is on leave due to illness."

"Because of illness?" Jing Ye couldn't help sitting up straight, "Why is he also sick?"

"Is this..." Gu Hong poured sake for him with a smile, "I don't know either. Your Majesty is bored?" Then he brought the wine glass to his lips.

"A little bit." Jing Ye hurriedly took the wine he sent and drank it down in one gulp.

Gu Hong said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Your Majesty might as well go out with the minister to relax."

Jing Ye thought for a while, anyway, he could go back to the dormitory to sleep if he didn't go with him, so he let him hold hands and got up.

"I'm tired, and now I want to go back to the palace to rest. You can have fun on your own, without restraint."

All the officials in the palace stood up and bowed their hands to see each other: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Miaorong also saluted beside her father, when she raised her eyes by chance, she saw the emperor walking out of the palace holding hands by that person, her manner was very intimate, she couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly.

Gu Hong.

After leaving the Zhaoyang Palace, Gu Hong didn't ask the palace people to follow, he took the five-pointed glazed lantern and led Jing Ye to the imperial garden.Jing Ye asked him where he was going, but he just smiled and said, "Take your Majesty down to get some air."

I don't know how long I walked, and finally came to a lotus.

It was cool at night, maybe it was because of the water here, Jing Ye actually felt that the coolness was worse than other places: "This is it?"

Gu Hong shook his head slightly, raised his hand to hook it, but saw a movement in the mottled shadow of the tree beside him, and then turned out a small black-covered boat.

Jing Ye frowned.

Gu Hong pulled him to step on it, the boat swayed slightly on the lake, the cabin was a bit narrow, Gu Hong propped his hands on Jing Ye's sides, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty..."

"kindness?"

"In the future, when no one is around, can your majesty... still call me 'Ahong'?"

Jing Ye moved his fingers, feeling a little embarrassed by his question.

Gu Hong looked at him quietly, the two of them were speechless for a moment, the sound of wooden paddles passing through the water was heard outside the boat, and the breeze sneaked in, sending a fragrance mixed with leaves and flowers.
