Yun Zhao: "?"

Why did she feel that the scene in front of her was a bit strange?

Jiang really only drank a cup of tea here and left quickly after finishing it.

Yun Zhao sat there and thought about Rong's reaction, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyebrows.

It will be very troublesome in the future.

Fortunately, the two of them were unfamiliar with each other and didn't meet often.

Two days later, Yun Zhao learned that the emperor had something to do for his birthday.

He also sent messages to Jiang and Yun countries at the same time.

Yun Zhao counted the days and was still a little confused, "It's not the birthday yet, right?"

And only when you are ten years old can you have such a grand ceremony. How can you not invite envoys from various countries to come over when you are ten years old?

Could it be that Beixiao is short of money and lacks this birthday gift?

Su Xi weakly raised a hand and said, "This servant has inquired about it. It was reported from Guangming Palace. Your Majesty wants to celebrate most of his birthdays to dilute the recent encounters..."

Yun Zhao: "..."

Can it still be like this?

What about the birthday gift? Is it as grand as the previous one? Then how many birthday gifts will Yun Guo send me?

Yun Zhao was making calculations in his mind, which made him feel heartbroken.

She deeply suspected that this person actually wanted to make a fortune from other countries.

After all, the birthday gifts are all good things, and if you take them out casually, they will be priceless.

If it's just this one time, but if he does this every year in the future, won't the treasury of the other two countries be emptied out?

Yun Zhao suspected, so this is the emperor's new method?

A cunning man.

The emperor's move was so ridiculous that these ministers entered the palace one after another.

However, they failed to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of ​​holding a grand birthday party, so they left Guangming Palace and turned around to find Xiao Changyin.

In Xiao Changyin's memory, there was no such thing.

When he heard it, he was also a little surprised.

But after being surprised, he became very calm.

The leading minister was invited by Mu Yi to sit aside, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and blinked anxiously in the hot air.

"Your Highness?"

"The relations between various countries are delicate. Your Majesty's move may be misunderstood."

"It is really inappropriate to spend most of my life wasting people and money, and the national treasury is not rich."

…

These people took out what they said in front of the emperor and said it again in front of Xiao Changyin.

Xiao Changyin's men just happened to be free and had nothing to do. Thinking that these people would not leave easily, they listened with a calm expression.

After a while, everyone felt that something was wrong when they saw that Xiao Changyin only listened but did not express any opinions.

They came to say this not to complain, but to hope that the prince could persuade His Majesty.

After all, holding big birthdays is really a waste of people and money, and is not conducive to relations between countries.

But who would have thought that the prince only listened but did not speak, so everyone gradually stopped and looked at the prince in unison.

Xiao Changyin noticed everyone's gaze, stopped the wolf brush in his hand, raised his eyes with a cold expression, "Are you done?"

Everyone who was frozen by the sound instantly regretted their plan to come over.

How could they forget that His Majesty is not easy to talk to, and the Prince is not much better either.

The leader lowered his head and lowered his voice, "I've finished speaking."

Xiao Changyin looked at the door, "Let's go back after that."

Everyone: "..."

Their goal has not been achieved yet.

But none of them dared to question it boldly.

It was Xiao Changyin who spoke up, "My father has made a decision that I can't interfere with. Besides, my father's birthday banquet is also a happy event."

Everyone: "..."

Mu Yi sent the people out who were in mixed moods.

When he arrived at the door, he was stopped by a courtier and asked to persuade the prince if possible.

Mu Yi responded with fear on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

How could he possibly persuade His Highness the Crown Prince, unless the Crown Princess went to talk to him.

After everyone walked all the way, one of them said, "How about we go find the Queen and ask the Crown Princess?"

Others who heard this subconsciously ignored the second half of the sentence, and then turned to look for the Queen again.

The queen's attitude was very good. As soon as she saw these people, she asked people to move stools and serve tea and water. She also smiled the whole time when everyone was talking to them.

Everyone felt that this method might be feasible, and the Queen would definitely agree to persuade His Majesty.

And maybe His Majesty will listen to the Queen's advice.

But after everyone had finished speaking, the Queen showed no intention of persuading her.

After being reminded, he said, "I am a woman, so I have no control over what Your Majesty wants to do."

"Furthermore, the harem does not ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and women do not ask about politics. If it is violated, I am afraid it will be inappropriate."

"If you really have no choice but to persuade His Majesty, why not go to the Queen Mother and talk to her."

"No matter what, the Queen Mother is His Majesty's mother."

…

Everyone was sent outside Yongning Palace in a daze. Looking at the door that was quickly closed, they couldn't help but look at each other.

This trip couldn't be in vain, so everyone went to the Queen Mother's house anyway.

The Queen Mother loves face, so she ran away to Guangming Palace after a few words.

As the queen said, the queen mother is the emperor's mother after all. Even if she is not her biological child, even if the emperor does not value her, she still has filial piety attached to her.

Therefore, the palace officials in Guangming Palace still treated her respectfully.

When he learned that the Queen Mother was coming, the emperor was stunned for a while and asked, "What is she here for?" He was a little impatient.

Shou'an twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at the numerous ministers following him, who had just left His Majesty's place not long ago.

Probably understand what is going to happen.

It's just...why don't these ministers think about how much weight the Queen Mother has in His Majesty's heart?

Since it has no weight, what is the use of persuasion?

Shou'an told the emperor about the situation outside, and the emperor frowned.

After drinking a cup of strong tea, the ministers were sent out of the palace first.

These people were about to be sent out. They were worried and unwilling, so they all looked at the Queen Mother, seeming to place all their hopes on the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother, who had high hopes: "..."

She felt weak and straightened her back, feeling really uncomfortable.

After entering, she smelled the strong medicinal smell in the room that could not be dissipated even by the spices, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

The emperor is... seriously ill?

The Queen Mother called her Majesty, then sat down and asked Emperor Shou'an how he was.

Of course, Shou'an could not tell the Queen Mother what the emperor's physical condition was. He only said that Dr. Chen came to check his pulse every day and that he was getting better. As long as he took good care of himself, he would be fine.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she knew that Shou'an was not telling the truth.

She lowered her head and rolled her eyes.

Then he looked carefully at the emperor's face, which showed that he looked undisguisedly haggard.

The Queen Mother recalled the way she saw the Queen two days ago, and thought that if the two of them were standing together, they would look like they were older.
