Chapter 34
In the Sixiang Hall, Hu Lu cursed Yu Shaoyan, while He Kun stood by and explained to Yu Shaoyan earnestly.
"I think Brother Shaoyan must not know about this matter. It must be that little girl who made her own decision. Your Majesty, please don't blame him for this!" He Kun's eyes were watery.
Hulu flicked his sleeves and asked, "Where is the place where the officials recommended him to take up his new position?"
"Xuzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Province is one of the most fertile places in the country." He Kun remembered it so clearly.
Hu Lu waved his hand and said, "You and Sun Shangshu should discuss it again. The ancients said that with great power comes greater responsibility. I think Yumen Mansion in Xiliang Province is more suitable for him to display his ambitions, so let him go to Xiliang.
"
"Ah? Xiliang is deserted, this..."
Hu Lu glared, "Why, you still want to plead for him, He Kun, you can't be so kind. I know you are classmates who have a close relationship, but you can't share everything for him."
He Kun sighed and lowered his eyes, "My lord, take the order!"
"Back off."
"yes."
"Wait a moment!"
He Kun turned around and his expression was about to turn into a smile when Hu Lu stopped him again.
"Your Majesty, you finally decided to forgive Brother Shaoyan. You are so magnanimous..."
"Take it!" Hu Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I want to ask you another thing. How does the niece of Yu Shaoyan's wife look like~"
"Huh?" He Kun's brain was running rapidly and he began to think about the deeper meaning behind His Majesty's words.
Hu Lu said sternly, "Don't think too much, I just think that if she is average-looking, it will be brushed off later, so that she will not be an eyesore in front of me. If she is beautiful, then I must use some means to make her look beautiful."
If I lose the election, the province will really come into the palace and cause trouble for me."
"Oh, that Miss Sun, her appearance is quite good."
Hu Lu knew that He Kun always liked to exaggerate when he spoke, so his appearance was probably just acceptable.
So Hu Lu waved his hand and said, "That's okay. Don't bother with her. She won't be able to come to me even if she thinks about it."
However, after He Kun went out, he couldn't help but think about it more. He seemed a little disappointed by His Majesty's tone.
Does he hope that Yu Shaoyan's niece will enter the palace?
No, then wouldn’t His Majesty become Yu Shaoyan’s junior?
Wait, if that woman enters the palace, she will be an aunt and a granddaughter. Such a combination will be so interesting in the boudoir!
Oops, I actually ignored this. I was negligent. Damn it!
In fact, speaking of it, Miss Sun Qiaoer is not bad at all. Although she cannot compare with the poppy queen, she is still full of energy and is considered to be above average. However, her speech and behavior are vulgar and market-like. To put it bluntly, she has no temperament.
With a little guidance, she can be regarded as a little beauty with a unique flavor.
Thinking of this, He Kun quickly ran a few steps out of the palace. If it was too late, he would be afraid that the preliminary list would come out.
Miss Sun, don't thank me, I just want to make His Majesty happy.
After He Kun left, Hulu looked at the secret letter from Hu Ge that flew from Xiliang on the table, and then threw the secret letter into the brazier.
~
The next day, Hulu woke up in Miao Zhaoyi's bed.
On the left is Sister Hongxiu, and on the right is Hu Laoliu. It feels so good to hug each other.
Wait a minute, where is Sister Hongxiu?
Hu Lu patted the left side and found that the person was already awake, except for Hu Laoliu, who was sleeping soundly in a strange posture, with a very pleasant pink face.
It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise I would have to take a photo and share it with Hongxiu.
Hongxiu got up so early, she must have gone to Gugufang to get the secret message.
Sure enough, when Hu Lu arrived at the Yaoguang Hall with the confused and staring Lao Liu in his arms, Hong Xiu presented Liu Jiu's secret letter.
The letter showed that they would arrive in the capital tonight.
"Okay, very good! Today I'll see Master Lieyang, and tomorrow I'll see Old Man Taoyuan." I hope they won't disappoint me.
As soon as Hu Lu finished speaking, Wan Linglong and Xiao Guoer began to look at him eagerly.
Hu Lu hummed, "Why, you also want to see the true immortal?"
Xiao Guoer said, "Isn't it possible? I really haven't seen it before."
Wan Linglong said, “I don’t know if these immortals really have the ability to turn stone into gold.”
Ao Tunying said with a smile, "The old Taoist priest is not worth mentioning, but the fairy is more beautiful. Brother Lu has seen her before, so I have seen her too."
She met the fairy through the ghost mask and got the fairy's promise that she would meet the emperor in person one day. She had already spread the news to everyone.
Even Empress Dowager Xiao personally called her over for questioning and then scolded her.
"If you are only tall but not thoughtful, you must have been deceived and you don't even know it!"
Ao Tunying was stupid and was driven away by the Queen Mother after she couldn't explain clearly. I always felt that the old lady had a deep prejudice against the so-called cultivators.
The wives were all enthusiastic. Even if Miao Hongxiu and Yu Zhiyu didn't speak, there was curiosity and yearning in their eyes.
Hu Lu explained, "Actually, I want to take the princesses to see the world, and let the immortals see their wisdom. Maybe they can recognize a master and apprentice and have a fairy tale. If I bring you again, you will be too much."
Too much."
When they heard that they were bringing a princess and that they were destined to be immortal, the two concubines immediately stopped arguing and said that the old Taoist priest really had nothing to see, so let the children watch it, and we women should just play mahjong.

In the Tai Chi Hall, this time there were six princesses behind the curtain on one side of the dragon chair. Five new chairs were specially found, but the sixth princess was dishonest and had to be held by the eldest sister.
There is also Oton Sakura. As a female general, she does not stand with the generals, but stands beside His Majesty, like a door god.
The ministers were dissatisfied, and Hu Lu had no patience to listen to what the old men had to say. During the entire court meeting, he only listened attentively to two work changes.
One is the former daimyo prefect Yu Zhihou, who changed from a fourth-rank daimyo prefect to a third-rank deputy dean of Yuejing Academy. He officially retired from his role as a politician and concentrated on academics.
Emperor Fushou has always attached great importance to education, and everyone knows that the principal dean of Yuejing Academy is old, and the existing deputy deans are all junior. His Majesty's intention to let the upright Yu Zhihou take over as the principal is obvious.
Already.
This is the mighty dragon grace!
The other one is Yu Zhihou’s son Yu Shaoyan.
He retired from the position of a censor in the Inspectorate, which was a small but crucial position. He was promoted from the fourth rank to the fourth rank, and was appointed as the prefect of Yumen Prefecture in Xiliang.
This is the second time he has been in charge of a party. The last time he was the magistrate of Cao County.
This is beyond everyone's expectations. The barren land of Xiliang is actually allowed to go to the delicate and tender Yu Zhuangyuan. He is His Majesty's nephew!
Yu Shaoyan didn't say anything, and Yu Zhihou did the same. He just looked at his son with a more worried look. That place was too far away.
Hu Lu rubbed his hands and said impatiently, "Is it okay? Dear friends, there is no need to rush back from the court. My eighth brother went to great lengths to find a true immortal. I must have heard about this Lieyang in the past two days.
The real name of the real person, and now, he is waiting for you in the Liangyi Hall at the back. Dear friends, would you like to come with me?"
"I would like to go with you."
At this time, no one dared to say no, and they were also curious, especially Prime Minister Xiao. The combination of the Eighth Prince and the cultivator seemed unreliable.
Hula la, a group of people arrived at the Liangyi Hall where the royal banquet was held. Hu Lu walked at the front, followed by Otunying and the six princesses, and then the ministers.
In the Liangyi Hall, in addition to Master Lieyang and his two Taoist disciples, there was also King Yong Hu Gai accompanying him.
"Brother, you are finally here!"
The anxious Hu Gai hurriedly stood up to greet him, but the white-haired and white-bearded Lieyang Zhenren had no intention of moving, and his contented look was very aura of an immortal.
Hu Lu walked up to him and stared at this old man with an immortal spirit, "Taoist Master Lieyang?"
The old man raised his head slightly and stroked his beard gently, "Emperor Fushou?"
After saying that, a cloud of white mist began to disperse around the old man.
Aotunying was shocked and immediately asked Xiaofang for a small hammer.
Hu Lu raised his hand to stop the impulsive Yingzi, while Hu Ping'an whispered to his sister Xi Le, "This, this looks like dry ice?"
