"How about this? Time is tight. Let's write down the process and show it to my father for review first." Zhou Rong suggested, "My father has been busy with state affairs recently. Since this matter has been handed over to me, I will take care of it."
You shouldn’t add problems to your father.”
"Mr. Xie... you won't have any objections, right?"
Zhou Rong bowed first and then sent troops. Xie Yun smiled politely and said: "Your Highness seems to be confident. Naturally, I have no objection."
He and Li Weifu sat down again.
The maid brought tea and snacks, and Zhou Rong greeted, "Uncle, let the two gentlemen take a break and eat some snacks."
Zhuo Wen kept winking at him, saying sorry, and Zhou Rong followed him out.
When they were in a deserted place, Zhuo Wen said, "Your Highness is a little impatient. A famous scholar like Xie Yun could not even be invited by the emperor back then. How can he be suppressed with power?"
After all, Zhou Rong is young and not as knowledgeable as Zhuo Wen.
"But if he is allowed to see our father, wouldn't our previous words be exposed?"
"When you see the emperor, you will naturally say that you have seen the emperor. If you can keep your composure, you will naturally be able to get over it when the time comes. If you can't keep your composure, let him control it now."
"The same is true for being a king. Don't let your ministers gain insight into the Sacred Heart easily, otherwise they will only be led by the nose!"
Zhuo Wen did not teach him a lesson, but hoped that he would learn from the experience and gain wisdom. "There is still a vacancy in the cabinet. Previously, Shen Panxing proposed to let Xie Yun join the cabinet. The emperor did not agree, but he did not object."
"Why is Shen Panxing trying to win over Xie Yun? It's not to pave the way for His Royal Highness King Yu! Your enemy is not only King Chen, Zhou Yu should not be underestimated either. We want to win over Xie Yun, so we can't offend him, we can only coax him.
With."
Zhou Rong knew that he was really impatient just now. He realized his mistake and humbly asked for advice: "Then what should I do now?"
Zhuo Wen sighed: "Don't worry for the time being, we will look for opportunities later."
They originally planned to use this mission to win Xie Yun's favor, but now that favor is impossible, they must do things well and avoid making any more mistakes on Emperor Yao's side.
…
"Spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. There have been a lot of posts delivered to my house recently."
The weather is warm but I feel weak. Shen Moran is lying on the rocking chair. On the table next to him is an invitation from Prince Rong's Mansion to enjoy the flowers. A few days ago, someone was sent from the palace to spread the word. The queen held a banquet and invited the ladies into the palace.
lively.
Bitao peeled the orange for her.
"Princess, this is the last basket of oranges in the icehouse. The weather is hot and we can't keep them. If you still want to eat fruits, you must go to these banquets."
Shen Moran spit out the seeds and chatted: "There will be a banquet at the Duke of Song's house in the next few days. The Duke's wife is celebrating her seventieth birthday. The queen invited her to the palace in the name of celebrating the Duke's wife's birthday. Filial piety is greater than heaven. I am a junior.
Must go..."
"What about the banquet at Prince Rong's Mansion?"
"go."
Bi Tao picked up the invitations stacked next to her and asked, "Where are the Spring Festival Banquet at the Uncle's Mansion and the Family Banquet at Prince Yun's Mansion?"
Shen Moran said happily: "Let's all go. No matter what the name of the banquet is, let's go and join in the fun!"
Bi Tao snorted and continued: "Then you must also be attending the banquet of our Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Mom, are you going to have a party?"
Shen Moran first didn't receive the post, and secondly she didn't hear the news.
"It's not that Madam wants to hold a banquet, it's the Prime Minister who asked Aunt Pei to hold a banquet in Madam's name, and the Prime Minister attended in person." Bi Tao didn't understand the meaning and asked, "But all the banquets in the capital are organized by the head of the house, the mother.
Yes, our prime minister's house is special, isn't the prime minister afraid of others making sarcastic remarks behind his back?"
Bitao feels wronged for Du Shi.
Shen Moran scratched her nose with his fingers.
"You don't understand this? You will see when the time comes. Aunt Pei is just running errands, and my mother will definitely host it. Moreover, my mother has always been unwell to the outside world. He just did this to let outsiders see his thoughtfulness... …”
Proper preparations must be made to attend the banquet. Shen Moran asked: "Are all the clothes and jewelry ready?"
Every time you attend a banquet, you must dress carefully and not make any mistakes carelessly.
"As per your instructions, it has been prepared."
"Is cousin's ready?"
Bi Tao pouted and said: "My lady, why are you acting like an adopted daughter? You are more worried than your brother, Your Highness. My cousin's clothes and jewelry have already been prepared!"
Shen Moran really likes Chang Jinchan. Although she is a bit straightforward, sometimes a bit pretentious, and a bit mean-spirited, she is still very cute.
"What have you prepared for me?"
Chang Jinchan ran in with a red face, grabbed the peeled orange and stuffed it into her mouth, then grabbed the teacup next to her and drank it down in one gulp.
"Is there any water?"
Shen Moran handed her a handkerchief.
"I've dried a pot for you a long time ago."
Bitao poured the second cup and drank it all. The girl moved a chair and sat down, peeling an orange and said: "Cousin, you are so considerate. Now I know why my cousin married you... Cousin's body He cannot live without people, and only a calm and careful woman like my cousin can take good care of him."
"But cousin, I heard from dad that the imperial doctor said that my cousin has only a few years to live. What will you do if you become a widow?"
Bi Tao accidentally overflowed the tea cup and poured it on her hand. Although it was not hot, she was afraid of staining Shen Moran's clothes, so she hurriedly took two steps back and took it away.
Shen Moran raised his eyebrows slightly and looked into her sincere eyes.
"You are still so young. If you don't have children by then, I don't know if the court will allow you to remarry. Why don't you two take advantage of these two years to give me a nephew!"
Bi Tao had no ears to listen anymore, so she hurriedly ran away on the pretext of making tea.
Unexpectedly, she saw Zhou Zhanhei standing at the door with a sullen face as soon as she left the room and before she turned around. She was about to say hello, but Zhou Zhan glared at her and she was so frightened that she dared not say anything.
Help, His Highness has never looked at her like this before!
The two women in the room didn't notice anything. Shen Moran sighed: "It's not that I don't want to give birth..."
"Then it's just my cousin, isn't it?"
Chang Jinchan's mouth was faster than her brain, and she didn't even think that such words could be said by a young girl who had not yet left the court. She opened her mouth and came, leaving Shen Moran stunned for a moment.
He smiled and said: "Maybe it's because the fate has not arrived yet..."
Her vague words made Chang Jinchan feel that she was telling the truth.
"No way!" Chang Jinchan moved the chair closer and said in a voice that he thought was very small, "Honestly, with my cousin's body, he coughs every day, and he has to cover himself with a cotton jacket in such a hot weather. I also think there’s something wrong with him.”
"I'm not cursing my cousin. If that day comes, there's nothing we can do about it. You can do this..." She leaned into Shen Moran's ear and said, "You can take medicine and fake death, and then change your identity and find it difficult to live again... "
Shen Moran wanted to ask Hongying to ask, what new story books has she read recently?
Even fake death can be thought of...
"I remember you didn't like me before, how could you find a way for me?"
Chang Jinchan pouted and admitted generously.
"You got married to your cousin without my knowledge. Of course I don't like you! But after getting along with you, I feel that you are quite a nice person, so I will reluctantly accept you as my cousin-in-law!"
"I'm serious. Legend has it that there is a miracle doctor in the world who can make a medicine that can make people breathe and pretend to be dead. After taking it, there will be no breathing, heartbeat, and even body temperature. But as long as you take the antidote, you will be able to return to life immediately.
