Your Majesty, it's polite

The decree of bestowing marriage has been made, and no one in the Ministry of Rites dared to make a move to draw up the gift list. The minister of the Ministry of Rites just mentioned a word in the morning, and his majesty almost killed him with his eyes.

If the emperor doesn't speak, who dares to really start.

There is no way but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

When the Empress Dowager heard about this, her eyes widened with anger, and the emperor and empress Qing An were driven out of the palace, saying that they were unwell and that no one was seen.

The emperor understood his mother's knot in his heart, he didn't say much, and pulled the queen away.

Concubine Xian, on the other hand, is allowed to sit in the Empress Dowager's palace despite her feet being restricted.

The limelight in the palace is gradually changing, and even the maids can smell the bad atmosphere, and they are more cautious in doing things.

Tang Yunshu went to class very smoothly, and returned to her small study with a book after class.

There was a small box on the table, the box was dark red and exquisite, and the silk embroidery on it was exquisite.

Mahayana was puzzled: "Master, who gave this?"

After saying that, I immediately felt that there was a mistake. Now in the palace, who would dare to give something to their master.

Ever since the news about Ye and Prince Jiu spread, many of the court ladies who fell in love with Ye were still young girls, who would dare to take a step closer to him.

Who doesn't know, Prince Jiu clearly let everyone in the world know that Ye is his man.

Tang Yunshu picked it up for a closer look, put it back on the table and opened it, and suddenly saw a blue shadow approaching.

With sharp eyes and quick grasping hands, it turned out to be a small grass snake.

The small grass snake was about the size of a thumb, its blue and white body was wrapped around his wrist softly, its small mouth was wide open, and it seemed very angry.

This grass snake is not poisonous and can be found everywhere.

Mahayana was taken aback and said angrily, "Who is such a bastard?"

"Who else is there? Go behind the door and have a look."

Putting the little grass snake back into the box, Tang Yunshu sat down disapprovingly.

Mahayana walked out quickly, and saw Xiao Tao inside the pillar not far from the door.

I was angry, but because of my status, I didn't dare to vent it.

Mahayana looked at Xiao Tao with displeasure in his eyes, this brat, if it wasn't for the prince, he would have given him a good beating.

Always making trouble for the grandfather, no one is serious.

Xiao Tao didn't expect them to find him so soon, he was taken aback, turned around and ran away.

"Master, it's the fourth prince."

"I got it."

Handing the box to him, Tang Yunshu smiled and said, "No one is so childish except him."

As for his meticulous teaching these days, these princes and courtiers are still convinced by him.

Because of Concubine Xian's relationship, Xiao Tao will never like himself, and only he can play such a trick.

Grand Tutor Quan came in from outside with a smile: "Brother Tang Xian."

Seeing that he was in a great mood, Tang Yunshu couldn't help joking: "Brother Quan, why are you in such a good mood today?"

"It's a good thing." Sitting opposite him, Grand Tutor Quan winked: "Can you go?"

Tang Yunshu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't realize it: "Where are you going?"

Grand Tutor Quan clicked his tongue and said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask? It will not be the old man's birthday in a few days. Many officials have already prepared generous gifts and are waiting to go. What are your plans, whether to go or not?" ?”

Thinking it was something, Tang Yunshu smiled and sat back: "Of course I want to go, he has such a long life, so I have to go and get lucky."

It is rare in life to ask for sixty, but he is almost eighty, a long-lived person.

Grand Tutor Quan clapped his hands, pointed at him and smiled, "I like your idea, and I think so too."

Based on what he knew about Yun Shu these days, he was sure he would go there, and he was right.

"Then what will the whole brother give?"

"A Jade Buddha, just mean it, how about you?"

"Coincidentally, it's a Jade Buddha."

They haven't discussed this matter.

The two did not expect to give the same gift tacitly, and they smiled at each other without saying a word.

Taifu Quan looked at the door, and whispered to him: "The queen mother is in a bad mood now, and she may be trying to deal with you, Yun Shu, you have to be careful, she has always been careful."

The imperial decree for bestowing marriage has been issued, and the Liang family is also preparing, but His Majesty's intention is to wait for Prince Jiu to nod.

Without his nodding, this marriage, no matter how well-prepared it is, is a fake.

Waiting for the prince to nod, it is no different from no marriage.

Not only they know it well, but the Queen Mother knows it too.

"Thank you, brother, for telling me, I am prepared."

Tang Yunshu's ability to sit here firmly means that his chest is full.

The Empress Dowager's status is indeed noble, but the current Majesty is not a faint king, and Ting behind him supports him, and no one dares to touch him.

After the two chatted, Tang Yunshu got up and left.

Back at the mansion, Tang Yunshu received the invitation, which turned out to be from Duke Cheng's mansion.

Smiled a few times, then threw it on the table.

After dinner, Tang Yunshu came to the restaurant. Recently, there was a batch of bacon from Jingcheng, and he wanted to come and have a look.

The bacon made by her own villa is naturally hygienic and clean, and Tang Yunshu will still come to check it often.

Regardless of whether there is a serious inspection or not, his arrival will make the shopkeeper and the waiters work more seriously.

A large batch of bacon was put in the backyard. Tang Yunshu watched the shopkeeper count them one by one, went to the front of the car, picked up a small piece, smelled it, and tore off a small piece with his hands.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Boss, this year's bacon is better than ever, and the cured meat is more delicious."

"Really good."

Tang Yunshu saw that there was nothing wrong with the others, so he calmed down and looked at the others.

Going up to the second floor, a gorgeously dressed beauty with exquisite facial features walked towards him. Taking a closer look, Tang Yunshu recognized that it was Liang Zhen.

Cut, really meet everywhere.

Liang Zhen also saw him by accident, and his originally peaceful expression instantly became haughty, like a proud peacock.

Tsk tsk, she used to be very gentle and pleasant in the empress dowager's palace.

Liang Zhen came to him with a sarcastic smile in his eyes: "It's a coincidence, Uncle Qingyang."

Tang Yunshu smiled coldly: "Miss Liang, this is my restaurant, can I get a discount for dinner?"

These words were obviously mocking her for being poor, how could Liang Zhenxin's arrogance bear it, and his face sank on the spot.

Thinking of something, the corner of his mouth curled up proudly: "It turns out that Uncle Qingyang's restaurant is a coincidence. I was just about to tell the shopkeeper that when I get married in three months, I will order some dishes from here. Especially the bacon, which is very delicious."

Tang Yunshu put a smile on his face: "That's a good relationship, thank you Miss Liang for patronizing my business."

Liang Zhen saw that his expression was ordinary, and he was disdainful in his heart: "Uncle Qingyang, you don't dare to pretend that you don't care. I know that you love the prince very much in your heart, don't worry, when I enter the gate of Prince Jiu's mansion and become a princess, there will definitely be your place."

Tang Yunshu looked at her smug smile, but said nothing.

Liang Zhen thought he was sad, stroked his black hair, and left with the maid proudly.

Mahayana looked around with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master, this kind of person is not worthy of carrying your shoes."

"Whether you deserve it or not is up to her to decide."

Tang Yunshu pushed open the door of the private room and stepped into it.

On the first floor, Liang Zhen got into the carriage, thinking of Tang Yunshu's expression just now, his eyes were full of complacency.

Tang Yunshu, when I enter the door of Prince Jiu's mansion, I will never make it easy for a man like you.

Prince Jiu obeyed his words now, if she really married into the prince's mansion, he would be the first one to get rid of.

It's a pity, in the future, she will still admire his poems very much. She is about the same age as her, but she is very talented, and her poems are amazing.

If it wasn't for Prince Jiu's relationship, she thought, she would still love his poems for the rest of her life.

The maid next to her whispered: "Miss, don't worry, Uncle Qingyang is still a man no matter how good-looking he is, and he can't bear half a child. When you enter the five mansions in the future and give birth to a son-in-law, it's not a bad idea to control him." It's a matter of words."

"It's natural."

In Cheng Guohua's mansion, Lao Guogong played chess with his son, his wrinkled face was deep and peaceful.

Cheng Guogong said: "Father, the marriage between Prince Jiu and the Liang family is probably going to be yellow."

"Of course." Putting Heizi in a dangerous place, the old man smiled deeply: "The empress dowager really miscalculated. After all, she is a woman with long hair and short knowledge. She thought that the order was issued to the whole country, and this marriage was a certainty. But I forgot, Prince Jiu can be handled by anyone."

Cheng Guogong Yao Wanxuan nodded and agreed with him: "Father is right. Prince Jiu has always been strong. Even His Majesty can't do anything about things he doesn't like. There may be room for turning around other things. Now that he has Tang Yunshu by his side, I will carry it with the Queen Mother."

"This is just right, let them fight, and we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Everything is under his control, no change is the best change.

"Father." Yao Wanxuan thought for a while and said, "The next plan will have to be postponed for a few days."

Shaking his head, the old man gave him a sideways glance: "No, it's going according to the plan. The older the prince is, the more mature he is, and the few princes are also very good. Compared with him, our fourth prince is indeed simpler."

Yao Wanxuan understood: "Father, don't worry, the son knows."

The father and son stayed in the house until it was time to light the lamps. After dinner, the old man returned to the study, and someone was waiting for him in the dimly lit room.

The man was dressed in black, covering his real face, only a messy beard and a red scar on his Adam's apple could be seen underneath.

Just sitting there, it's like an evil ghost appearing, and the breath of death makes people shudder.

After waving away the attendants, the old Duke sat in the grand master's chair and said, "What's the matter so early?"

"Master Guo, oh, I should be called Old Duke now. Haven't you forgotten our deal?" The man's faint voice sounded like someone wiping the floor with a paper handle, which made people feel uncomfortable.

The old man stroked his beard, and said in a displeased tone, "No, but I also said, don't come over if you have nothing to do, if you are found out, you and I will be finished."

"The old man is really interesting. If there is nothing wrong, why would I come here?"

"What's the matter, tell me quickly."

It's not that the old man is afraid, but that there are people around him who are watching him closely recently, so he can't just shoot casually.

It has been quiet for several months, and it has been arranged for so long, so it must not be a failure.

The man got down to business, and took out a letter from his arms: "This is what my master asked his subordinates to give you, and I have to tell you something, the matter is done, wait for the east wind."

"Okay." Overjoyed, the old Duke took it over and did not open it on the spot, but said to him: "That's good, go back and tell your master that as long as the matter is completed, all the contracts will remain as usual."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

The man stood up, bowed to him, and then jumped out of the window to leave.

After he left, the old man picked up the letter and opened it slowly.
