"Brother Prince..."

Xie Yuanshi fell asleep, and when he woke up Shen Yuzhu was sitting beside him, looking down with a book in his hand, his hair was wet and wet.

Xie Yuanshi noticed that his clothes had changed, "Did you go to take a shower?"

Shen Yuzhu put down the book, "Yes. How are you? Did you sleep well?"

"Very good, are you going to interrogate that assassin?"

Shen Yuzhu didn't hide from him: "Go."

Xie Yuanshi lightly pressed his eyes, sat up, Shen Yuzhu helped him, and heard him ask: "Why did you still go?"

Shen Yuzhu smiled: "I'm really not sleepy,"

Xie Yuanshi, who was sleepy or not, had no way of knowing, so he asked, "Have you got any results from the trial?"

Shen Yuzhu: "It's the same group as the last time. There are already clues. I will arrange people to continue to investigate."

Xie Yuanshi reassured him, "It's okay if you can't find out."

Shen Yuzhu stroked his hair: "You just have a big heart."

Xie Yuanshi didn't even think about it: "With you here, I have nothing to worry about." Xie Yuanshi didn't worry, in his heart, if Shen Yuzhu was unreliable, no one would be reliable that day.

There is no problem, Shen Yuzhu also felt that Xie Yuanshi should think like this, he told Xie Yuanshi: "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, don't wait until the next day to tell me, no matter how late it is, send someone to the palace to look for me."

Xie Yuanshi should go down.

"Still sleepy?"

Xie Yuanshi shook his head: "I'm not sleepy anymore. What time is it now?"

Shen Yuzhu: "Shen Shi."

"It's the time? I've slept for so long," Xie Yuanshi glanced at the sky: "Where's Gu Dongzang?"

Shen Yuzhu: "He knew you were asleep, so he went back first."

"Oh." Xie Yuanshi nodded and then paused. Shen Yuzhu wanted to drive Gu Dongzang and Xia Pei away when he first arrived, "You couldn't be the one who drove him back?"

Shen Yuzhu looked very innocent: "How could it be? I didn't say anything, they left by themselves."

Xie Yuanshi looked at his expression, "Really?"

"I just said that you slept on the soft couch, and Xia Pei took him away. They still care about your rest."

"Well," Xie Yuanshi said, "They are still young, don't worry about these trivial things with them."

"Sixteen and still young? When I was their age, I was already supervising water conservancy repairs in Jingzhou, and followed the Taifu to investigate corruption cases in Huzhou." Thinking of this, Shen Yuzhu was quite dissatisfied.

Xie Yuanshi said helplessly: "Your Majesty, how do you compare them with you?"

Who is Shen Yuzhu? He was raised according to the standards of a prince since he was a child. He read the books of sages and sages and learned the art of emperors. He never slacked in his homework every day. The concern and expectation of important ministers.

Not to mention that Xia Pei and Gu Dong hid, how many people in the world can compare with him in mental ability.

Shen Yuzhu: "Otherwise, who will I take, you?"

Xie Yuanshi thought to himself, why did it involve me again, can they be compared if they can't compare with me?

Shen Yuzhu looked at his expression, and reminded: "When you were 16 years old, you already took over Bai Ling from the old prince."

That was Bai Ling, the largest dark guard battalion in Daqi.It's not just anyone who is qualified to take over Bai Ling. Bai Ling has been passed down from generation to generation since the founding of Daqi, and the requirements for the master are not generally high.

To be in charge of Bai Ling, one must first gain the confidence of Bai Ling's people. If Xie Yuanshi is an iron-blooded general who fights on the battlefield like the old prince, it is not difficult for him to sit firmly as the master of Bai Ling.

But Xie Yuanshi was not, not only was he not, compared to the well-built dark guards in the dark guard camp, he was like a frail scholar who could be blown down by a gust of wind.

But during the four years he was the master of Bai Ling, he relied on his own ability to make Bai Ling's upper and lower guards loyal to him.

Shen Yuzhu would occasionally think about what Xie Yuanshi would look like if it wasn't because of his body.

Xie Yuan Shibang, who didn't feel how good he was, and didn't take these things to heart, read: "Oh, I'm great too."

Shen Yuzhu: "..."

Xie Yuanshi stepped on the ground with one foot to reach the coat hanging on the bed, and was put back on the bed by Shen Yuzhu's half arms, "Put on your shoes."

"Oh." Xie Yuanshi bent over to put on his shoes.

Speaking of Bai Ling, Shen Yuzhu suddenly remembered: "Coincidentally, when the court was over today, Mrs. Hua asked me specifically, do you intend to take over Bai Ling again? I almost forgot about it."

Xie Yuanshi was stunned: "What? Why did you give it to me again? Didn't you refuse it for me?"

During Xie Yuanshi's serious illness three years ago, he handed over all the affairs in his hands, including Bai Ling.

It stands to reason that he took it from the old prince, and it would be most appropriate to hand it over to the old prince, but at that time, the old prince planned to take the princess to Jiangnan to seek work, so he didn't have the time and energy.

So later, Bai Ling was not taken by the old prince, but was handed over to Mrs. Hua, who was highly respected. When she was young, she was also a general of one side, so she was very convincing to Bai Ling.

Xie Yuanshi is still involved in some military affairs and military defenses in the DPRK. Qin Wangfu still has contacts with the Ministry of Military Justice, but Bai Ling does not plan to take over again. Shen Yuzhu knows this.

Shen Yuzhu: "I rejected it for you, but Mrs. Hua said that looking at the entire government and the public, the people in Bailing are most convinced by you. Even his position in their hearts has to be placed in the back row. Apart from you, he wants to If there is no suitable second candidate, he asked me to advise you to reconsider."

"Master Hua means that he doesn't want to take Bai Ling with him anymore?" Xie Yuanshi frowned, not quite understanding, "Why?"

Mrs. Hua took it well, why should I hand it over to others?

Shen Yuzhu reminded him: "Didn't the third girl get married a few days ago? Now only the youngest sixth girl is left unmarried among the grandchildren of the Hua family. common sense."

Xie Yuanshi looked embarrassed.

Bai Ling has far more things to do than he imagined. He is not worried about not doing well, but after taking over, he has to work hard and is not as comfortable as he is now every day.

"Don't worry about it. If you don't want to, I can always find someone. You just have to follow your heart."

Grand Master Hua was right in saying that Yuan Shi was the most suitable candidate. Shen Yuzhu knew that Yuan Shi had this ability. After all, Bai Ling had four years of hard work in Yuan Shi.In his heart, Shen Yuzhu didn't want Yuan Shi to work hard, but he still let Yuan Shi decide how to choose.

"Let me think about it." Xie Yuanshi said.

"Ah."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Liu gently knocked on the door to remind Xie Yuan to have dinner. The sound was not loud, and he could hear it when he was awake, but he would not be disturbed when he was asleep.

Xie Yuanshi had already woken up, and raised his voice, "Come in, Uncle Liu."

"Your Highness, it's time for dinner." Xie Yuanshi asked someone to pass on the dinner, and Uncle Liu took out another invitation: "Your Highness, this is just sent by the concierge. It is an invitation sent by someone from the Hua family."

Florist?

This is not to say that Cao Cao is Cao Cao.

But is Mrs. Hua planning to invite him to talk about Bai Ling face to face?Xie Yuanshi took the invitation, and only looking at the outside of the envelope, he found that it was not what he thought, it was an invitation for a joint banquet, and the names of the Hua family and the Cui family were on it. "

"The Hua family is engaged to the Cui family?"

In the customs of Daqi, a joint banquet is not an ordinary banquet. It is usually prepared and organized by two or more families when there is a big event. It is mostly used for two families to engage relatives and friends. At the same time, the names of the two families also fell.

Shen Yuzhu also looked down.

Miss Hua San just got married, and they just mentioned that only the youngest Miss Hua Liu is left unmarried in the Hua family, if the marriage is with the Cui family...

Xie Yuanshi suddenly looked at Shen Yuzhu.

No, it's not what he thought, is it?

Shen Yuzhu also paused, apparently thinking the same question as him: "Open it and see?"

Xie Yuanshi opened the inside page, glanced from right to left and read out: "Hua Qinzhu and...Cui..."

"Cui Yutong." Shen Yuzhu completed the supplement.

Xie Yuanshi flicked through the invitations back and forth in disbelief, but it was obvious that these two girls were the ones who were engaged.

"It turned out to be true?"

"it is true?"

"Didn't you say...Miss Cui was shut down in the ancestral hall because she broke the imperial gift?" Xie Yuanshi's eyes were full of doubts.

Shen Yuzhu had the same doubts in his eyes, "I know it's true."

This is what Song Gelao told him.

Shen Yuzhu definitely wouldn't lie to him, but all the engagement invitations had been sent to him, and this matter couldn't be faked.So Gu Dongzang and Xia Pei are really right?

Ms. Cui really likes Miss Hualiu. Is it because of liking that she draws Miss Liu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?

But Gu Dongzang and Xia Pei's nonsensical analysis is unreasonable no matter how you think about it! !

Facing the invitation, Xie Yuanshi fell into a brief silence.

That is to say, the Cui family didn't object to their marriage after they knew Miss Cui Xinyuehua and Sixth Miss, and they didn't concern Cui's being in the ancestral hall because of this matter. Engagement and closing the ancestral hall were two different things from the beginning?

Shen Yuzhu interrupted Xie Yuanshi's chaotic thoughts, and suddenly said: "Look, how wise I am not to make an appointment."

"You are happy." Xie Yuanshi said that he, the two girls who were most expected to be the successors, internally digested it.

Shen Yuzhu: "I facilitated a beautiful marriage, this is a good thing to accumulate merit, shouldn't I be happy."

Xie Yuanshi nodded cooperatively: "Yes, yes, you are right."

"Are you going?" Shen Yuzhu asked.

Xie Yuanshi thought for a while: "Go, if you have a chance, you can talk to Mrs. Hua about Bai Ling."

Shen Yuzhu nodded: "Alright."

The assassin who came to Prince Qin's mansion was taken away by Shen Yuzhu. Xie Yuanshi said he would leave it to Shen Yuzhu and never asked about it. Every day he would read and write leisurely, and occasionally he could finish his business quickly.

On the contrary, Xia Pei has been a little strange recently, especially when he was sitting in the study, Xia Pei squatted on the threshold, staring at the ground motionlessly, and it was like this again today.

Xie Yuanshi put down his pen and asked him, "What's the matter with you recently?"

Xia Pei looked completely uneasy, and answered in a daze: "No, it's nothing."

Xie Yuanshi: "Why don't you sit on the threshold all day in a daze? Do you think the door god of Prince Qin's Mansion is not competent?"

Xia Pei felt bitter, but dared not say a word.

To be honest, Xia Pei really wanted to dangle the painting in front of the master when he knew that Miss Hualiu and Miss Cui were engaged, or he would just move a bench and sit in front of the painting, waiting for the master to sit in the study Talk to him, see him and see the painting at the same time.

When I saw that painting, I thought of his and Gu Dongzang's inferences about "painting" and "heart joy".

But he didn't dare in the end, not just because he was afraid of the emperor's warning.

Opposite him hung the painting drawn by the emperor in the hot spring garden, which was Xie Yuanshi's painting, but he didn't dare to raise his head, and didn't dare to glance in that direction.

On the day when there was an assassin in Prince Qin's mansion, he was curious, so he went to the dungeon to watch Xie Jiu and the other hidden guards interrogate the assassins. At that time, he thought, this assassin is really tough, and he used all kinds of punishments in turn, but he didn't say anything useful. Spit it out.

The next day when Gu Dongzang was sent away, he heard from Uncle Liu that the emperor was going to interrogate the assassin. He was curious about the difference between the emperor's methods and Xie Jiu's, so he followed him. Listen to the sound.

The dungeon in Prince Qin's Mansion is not big, surrounded by stone walls, the echo is relatively heavy.Maybe because of the echo, several days have passed, and Xia Pei can still recall the assassin's wailing and screaming.

On the first day, he was regarded as a tough assassin by him, but on the second day, he screamed and begged for mercy under Shen Yuzhu's subordinates, and confessed everything he knew. The contrast was so great that Xia Pei was speechless.

Xia Pei didn't see what Shen Yuzhu did in detail, but when Shen Yuzhu came out and passed him, he saw layer after layer of blood splashed on the hem of his clothes, and his whole body smelled of blood—the assassin's blood.

After coming out of the dungeon, Shen Yuzhu went to the bathing pool to soak for half an hour. When Xia Pei saw Shen Yuzhu, he stuttered.

It's so scary, I dare not move.

The emperor's previous warning to him not to speak too much has been circulated in his mind countless times in the past few days together with the assassin's wailing, and now he dare not say a word in front of his master.

"It's really nothing." Xia Pei said awkwardly.

Xie Yuanshi glanced at him and called out to the surroundings: "Xie Jiu?"

Xie Jiu came down from the roof, Xia Pei was taken aback by his sudden appearance, looked up the roof, but didn't notice just now, where is he hiding?

Xie Yuanshi's question drew Xia Pei's attention back. He pointed at Xia Pei and asked Xie Jiu, "Do you know what happened? When did he start?"

Xia Pei stared at Xie Jiu, desperately using his eyes to suggest communication, for the sake of our friendship for so many years!

Xie Jiu thought for a moment, and sold Xia Pei completely: "When the emperor was interrogating the assassin, he was eavesdropping outside, he must be... frightened."

Xia Pei: "..." Although, it's really embarrassing to hear someone say that.

Xia Pei tried hard to win respect: "Actually, I'm not scared..."

Xia Pei didn't finish his sentence, and he felt unconvincing in the middle of the sentence, so he tried to change his words: "Well, I was a little bit scared, but the emperor's trial of assassins is really scary!"

This time I finished talking, but Xia Pei touched it and felt that it was wrong. How could he say something about the emperor in front of the master? The emperor is obviously worried about the safety of the master. What should I do if I have a bad impression?

Xia Pei racked his brains, trying to come up with a more perfect reason: "I didn't mean that, I meant..."

Xie Yuanshi roughly understood the cause and effect, and he knew better than anyone else what Shen Yuzhu looked like.Xia Pei nervously made Xie Yuanshi a little funny, so he took the time to rest his cheeks, with an expression of "make it up and I'll listen".

Xia Pei cautiously said, "Is all the interrogation of prisoners more scary?"

Even though he went on and on for a while, he was finally forced to admit that he was timid. Well, if you are timid, you are timid. What else can he say?

You can't hold your master and cry and say that the emperor really loves you...

Xie Yuanshi raised his eyes: "Are you afraid to go?"

Xia Pei muttered: "I also want to know who sent the assassin, and care about the safety of the master..."

"Well," Xie Yuanshi said lightly, "I'm really touched."

Xia Pei: "Oh."

"Master, that..." Xia Pei rolled his eyes, "Will you go to the engagement banquet between Miss Hualiu and Miss Cui at the beginning of next month? If you go, can you take me with you?"

"Want to go?"

Xia Pei nodded frantically.

"Then go, don't make any trouble."

"sure!"

There are many things to do in the beginning of spring, such as spring plowing, taxes, fixed products... There are many things waiting to be dealt with at the daily court meeting.

Xie Yuanshi went to several court meetings on time, and there was nothing he needed to participate in. After that, he started to be lazy from time to time. Fortunately, everyone has almost forgotten the exaggerated invitation of the old lady Zhong years ago, and no one mentioned it again. .

Xie Yuanshi was not present at the court meeting today.

After the imperial court was over, Mrs. Zhong went to see him outside the hall. Shen Yuzhu announced him to enter the hall. He discussed with him the regulations for next month's imperial examination, and initially drafted a few suitable invigilators. Under Shen Yuzhu's repeated suggestions, he took over the job.

The two of them discussed about the same thing. Mrs. Zhong stretched his sore waist from sitting for a long time, and Shen Yuzhu asked him about his recent physical condition and asked him to pay more attention to rest.

Old Madam Zhong chatted with him about the most hotly discussed matter in the capital recently, the gossip about the marriage of the two girls who received the most attention at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, "Your Majesty has heard about the Cui family and the flowers. A family affair?"

Shen Yuzhu nodded, with a bit of a smile: "I have heard about it, and the Taifu also pays attention to this?"

Mrs. Zhong always speaks slowly, neither humble nor overbearing, talking about this kind of gossip is like talking about serious business: "There are so many happy events in Shangjing recently, even if the old minister doesn't pay attention, he still listens to them. I have found my favorite destination, Mrs. Hua can't keep her mouth shut these days, and her face is full of spring breeze every day."

Shen Yuzhu: "When I heard about the marriage between Miss Hua and Young General Meng, I was very surprised at first. I didn't expect..."

Old Madam Zhong continued: "There are many rumors in Beijing that Young General Meng and Young Madam were enemies before they got married. The veteran didn't think so at the time, but he didn't expect them to be a good couple. It's really enviable."

Shen Yuzhu lowered his eyes and twirled his fingers in his sleeves. Mrs. Zhong was not a gossip person, let alone someone who would gossip with him.

He used to study with Yuan Shi, and when he was attracted by foreign objects and was not concentrating on his homework, he would be criticized by Mr. Zhong citing scriptures. Mr. Zhong always taught them to be careful and set an example for them not to pay attention to waste. Energy for things that don't make sense.

But Mrs. Zhong now took the initiative to bring up gossip. After talking about General Meng and Young Madam, he went back to Ms. Cui and Ms. Hualiu. A mistake caused the two girls to have a good relationship, the elder Ge received the invitation, and said rather depressingly that he has nothing to do when he gets old, so he can go and get a matchmaker for someone."

"He can be regarded as inadvertently planting willows and willows."

It's just a pity that the emperor wants to plant flowers and the flowers won't bloom.

Shen Yuzhu smiled: "I didn't expect that, I once heard others comment that Miss Cui's astonishing painting is full of friendship, and I thought they over-interpreted and misinterpreted Miss Cui's meaning."

Mrs. Zhong seems to have some feelings, and recalled full of vicissitudes: When the old minister was young, his heart was higher than the sky, he thought that the world was big, and he was determined to serve the country and the people all his life. After entering Hanlin, I worked hard to make a career, and now—"

He raised his arms, "Qingfeng's two sleeves, it can be said that he has achieved something. But when he saw Mrs. Hua at the court meeting that day, he felt that at this age, he would live like an old master, with both children and grandchildren. Enjoying family happiness is the real consummation.”

Shen Yuzhu carefully figured out the meaning of old matriarch Zhong's words, did the matriarch mean that he regretted not marrying a wife?

Others may still believe Shen Yuzhu when they say that, Mrs. Zhong?No way.

Don't say that Mrs. Zhong has no chance when she is old. How many people cared about Mrs. Zhong when she was young. There were girls and teenagers who showed their love boldly. Only Shen Yuzhu knew that there were four or five of them who were still unmarried. If the Taifu is willing, he can hold the hand of the newlyweds tomorrow and enjoy the fulfillment he is looking forward to.

Shen Yuzhu gradually began to appreciate the taste. Mrs. Zhong seemed to be expressing her own thoughts in every sentence, but thinking about it carefully...he also came to persuade him to become a queen?

It's just that compared to Song Ge's straightforwardness, Mr. Zhong, who has been engaged in Hanlin compilation for 20 years, obviously knows how to cut into the topic tactfully and lower his defenses to achieve his goal.

Shen Yuzhu: "..."

again.

Shen Yuzhu leaned his arms on the armrest, put his hands on his forehead as if thinking, blinked slowly a few times, and closed them after a while.

In his ears, the old master Zhong had a miserable life in his old age when he didn't marry a wife, and he talked about how happy the old master Hua was, and how happy the old Song Ge was. He counted the courtiers full of children and grandchildren from the beginning.

During the period, many sages and Confucians were also listed to express their views on the matter of "Qi Family".

I don't know if it's the effect of closing his eyes, Shen Yuzhu originally just wanted to use this to avoid the "heart-to-heart talk" of Mrs. Zhong, but who knows that squinting is really sleepy.

In fact, no matter how much Mrs. Zhong said, no matter how much Mr. Song Ge did, for Shen Yuzhu, there was only one candidate for the post in his mind.

If he told Mr. Song Ge or Mr. Zhong what he wanted to know, even if they were surprised at first, they would definitely agree with it in the end and make it happen with all their strength, but Shen Yuzhu didn't want to do this.

Even if he is in the latter position, he is afraid that if Xie Yuanshi is wronged, he will not let go, but he does not want other people to use his name to force Xie Yuanshi, and he does not want others to interfere in the affairs between him and Yuanshi. Yuanshi chooses by himself.

Yuan Shi has lost his memory, but as long as he still remembers the agreement between them, it will count.

"His Majesty?"

"Ugh……"

Mrs. Zhong talked freely about her longing for marriage (against her will), interspersed with the sage's praise of family harmony and harmony. Mrs. Zhong was very satisfied.

Then he planned to ask the emperor for his opinion, but when he saw that the emperor still lowered his head and nodded occasionally, he realized that the emperor had already fallen asleep.

Mrs. Zhong: "..."

The moment he found out that the emperor was asleep, Mrs. Zhong even wanted to find a ruler and tap the emperor's palm twice.

If the emperor was still the prince, he would definitely criticize him: not serious!Don't work hard!

When Shen Yuzhu woke up from a doze, seeing the expression on Old Madam Shang Zhong's face, he thought for a moment that he had returned to the time when he was young and still a prince.

Shen Yuzhu sat upright, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I feel relieved after finishing the political affairs today, and I fell asleep when I was sleepy for a while, please forgive me, Grand Tutor."

Old Mrs. Zhong can't still criticize the current emperor like he criticized the students back then.He's not the straight guy like Zhang Yushi, who talks about everything.

"Your Majesty is busy working on state affairs day and night, and it is the old minister who disturbed you."

Mrs. Zhong's heart was like a mirror, the emperor fell asleep while talking to him, and it wasn't that he treated him poorly.On the contrary, it was precisely because of respect for him that he did not directly refute his face, but chose this euphemistic way.

But his success is not a trivial matter, is he just making a trip today for nothing?

Old Mrs. Zhong hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is abrupt. I wonder what His Majesty thinks about the establishment of a queen?"

Shen Yuzhu originally intended to fool the past like this, but the Taifu didn't let go, he had to face the Taifu's problem as a last resort, so he could only tell him clearly: "The Taifu should know, I have already said that I have no intention of becoming a queen."

The emperor has been reluctant to become queen, and the courtiers have invited them for so long. If they don't care, they can silence many people by accepting a concubine at will, but the emperor has always refused.

What is he thinking?Song Ge wants to know, even if he still refuses, at least they know what he thinks in his heart, and they can persuade him in a targeted manner, instead of aimlessly thinking about inappropriate ways like Song Ge is now.

Mrs. Zhong's Fu said earnestly: "Your Majesty allows the minister to overstep, and the old minister has a question. It is not a question from the minister to the emperor. Can the old minister listen to what your majesty really thinks?"

Shen Yuzhu was taken aback for a moment.

Old Madam Zhong said again: "I have no other intentions. I promise that no third person will know what I said today."

Shen Yuzhu took a deep breath, "What does the teacher want to know?"

"Your Majesty, is it because of the late emperor? Or is it because you don't want to have anything to do with the previous dynasty and the harem?"

Shen Yuzhu was silent for a moment, "Teacher, can you really guarantee that no one else will know?"

Old Mrs. Zhong Fu pointed to the sky and swore: "Absolutely not, I guarantee it with my life and my reputation for most of my life, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"I...it's not that I don't want to be a queen."

Old Mrs. Zhong straightened her waist, leaned forward slightly, and had vague expectations in her eyes.

Shen Yuzhu: "I already have someone in my mind."

Old Madam Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

……

Coming out of the Hall of Martial Arts, Mrs. Zhong felt the lightness under her feet. The sky was so blue, the air was so fresh, the guards patrolled so mighty, and the imperial palace was so majestic...

The people's livelihood in Daqi is safe and peaceful, the world is peaceful, and there is a thriving scene as far as the eye can see.

What is it after standing?What is the need after standing?It is enough for us to have the emperor!

The old lady Zhong was walking all the way, still feeling the beauty of life, Shen Yuzhu changed into casual clothes and planned to leave the palace, the two met again on the road.

The old matriarch Zhong hadn't left the palace yet, Shen Yuzhu thought that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and asked: "The matriarch is going back to the mansion, will I send a car for the matriarch?"

Mrs. Zhong waved his hand. Not only was he not inconvenient in his legs and feet, but he walked these two steps quite briskly, with a happy smile on his face, "Thank you for your concern, your carriage is waiting in front. Your Majesty is going out of the palace? Are you going to Prince Qin's mansion?"

Shen Yuzhu answered with a boxy paper bag in his hand, "Yes." The paper bag contained freshly made cakes from the Imperial Dining Room, which were still warm.

Mrs. Zhong's smile was even bigger: "I remember that His Highness King Qin liked to eat all kinds of dim sum when he was young, and he often heard him mention the laurel cakes made in the palace."

Shen Yuzhu nodded, "He likes sweets."

Old Madam Zhong watched Shen Yuzhu's back, hummed cheerfully, and walked back home with square steps.

Elder Song Ge went to Zhang Yushi's place again, and did not invite Mrs. Zhong, because Mrs. Zhong was not with them recently.

"You said that the last time Zhong Lao went to the palace to meet the emperor, these days have passed, why is there no movement at all?" Song Ge was thinking.

Zhang Yushi rubbed the stubble on his chin, "I have asked him a few times, but he only said that the persuasion that day was not effective, and he even advised me not to worry about it in the future. If I ask more questions, he will just say a few words." Don't even say it."

"Could it be that the chat with the emperor is not going well?" He guessed.

Song Ge recalled the news he sent someone to inquire about: "It shouldn't be, why did I hear rumors that he and the emperor had a good conversation?"

Although Mrs. Zhong is a seldom talker and doesn't like to talk to them all day long, but such a big matter will not be hidden, Zhang Yushi said: "If the conversation is very happy, it means there is something interesting, he How could you not tell us?"

Song Gelao: "Do you think he was persuaded by the emperor? He agrees with the emperor's idea of ​​not having a queen, and feels ashamed to face us?"

"This..." Zhang Yushi's eyebrows were about to knot, "Isn't it possible?"

How could Mrs. Zhong be persuaded by the emperor?That's Mrs. Zhong, how could he easily shake his mind because of other people's few words?

It was better to believe that he was persuaded than to believe that he was threatened.

Zhang Yushi had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that he knew something and was forced to keep silent by the emperor?"

such as……

Zhang Yushi's divergent thinking: some situations that cannot be treated by outsiders?

Elder Song Ge disagreed, and his beard was raised: "What can't we say between him and us?!"

Zhang Yushi thought to himself: "That's too much I can't tell you."

If what he thought was true, then Old Madam Zhong said, how good it would be for Song Ge to let him go out bald in front of the emperor and let Old Madam Zhong have an impulse.

Song Ge didn't know about Zhang Yushi's slander, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and he was even a little angry.

It felt like being abandoned halfway by a small partner who was traveling together.

"If he doesn't want to say it, let's just say it! I'll go by myself!"

Zhang Yushi saw him roll up his sleeves after saying these angry words, and quickly held him down: "What are you going to do? Don't be impulsive!"

Mr. Song Ge pressed Zhang Yushi back, seemingly impulsively, but he could not understand what he said, "Mr. Zhong has never married a wife. He is not as experienced in this area as those of us who have been here. I know he has great talent." , He can do it in other ways, but in this respect, he is not convincing in front of the emperor."

Zhang Yushi: There is some truth to that.

"So what do you want to do?"

Song Ge stroked his beard, as if he had a plan in mind: "This old man went to find some beautiful dancers and sent them to the emperor."

? ?

"Are you serious?"

Elder Song Ge: "Ang, what's wrong? Your majesty is still not acquainted with human affairs. When he gets the hang of it, everything will be solved soon?"

Zhang Yushi was silent: "How did you become the old man?"

Elder Song Ge: "You are looking down on me! Pointing at me every day to find a way, I think about it, but you don't like it. If you have the ability, you can figure out a way! Do you think I am willing to do this thankless job!"

"Don't be so impatient."

Elder Song Ge: "I am impatient, Taifu Zhong is not in a hurry, he has already let go of me!"

Zhang Yushi: "..."

It is also true.

So why did Old Madam Zhong let go of it?

Is it because you don't dare to control it, or because you can't control it?

Zhang Yushi suppressed Song Ge's desire to send off the dancing girl on the spot, and he was ready to move again after a few days, but before he could start to act, his plan was forced to shelve.

Because His Royal Highness King Qin is ill.

Seeing the engagement banquet between the Cui family and the Hua family, it was the engagement banquet of the most beautiful woman in Shanghai and the most talented woman in Shanghai. Xie Yuanshi originally planned to take Xia Pei to join in the fun, but the weather didn't go as planned, and the weather didn't take long until spring Capricious, Xie Yuanshi was still sick.
