After the emperor conquered Goguryeo, his prestige was even greater. This time he got angry and lasted for about half a month, and this time it was Wei Zhi who was on the emperor's side, so no one refuted the emperor's decision.
Therefore, after the last Ban Xin was also sentenced to beheaded, the depression in the emperor's chest finally dissipated.
Seeing that he was in a better mood, Bai Shan immediately asked for leave, asking Zhou Man for leave while asking for leave for himself.
As soon as the emperor heard that he was going to hold the crown ceremony, he remembered, "You have already reached the crown ceremony. The coming-of-age ceremony is an important ceremony, and it must be done properly."
So with a swipe of the pen, he and Zhou Man were each given a five-day vacation.
Some ministers were dissatisfied and discussed in private, "It's fine if Bai Shan and Guan are fake, why should Zhou Man have one?"
"That's right, why is Zhou Man on leave?"
Even if their official positions are not small, not all of them like to go to work. Who doesn't like to take vacations when they can take vacations? The world, including the emperor, is the same in this matter.
Man Bao received the holiday and happily went to report to Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuan just shook his head and waved her away.
Getting the crown is a big gift, even Mr. Zhuang couldn't help asking, "Is the jade crown ready?"
Bai Shan's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I have prepared some, but I haven't selected them yet."
Mr. Zhuang said immediately after hearing the words: "I also selected a jade crown for you, you can try it later."
Bai Shan responded immediately, "Mr. Xie."
Many people gave Bai Shan a crown, even the emperor and the crown prince each sent a crown, the quality of the jade is very good.
After seeing it, Bai Shan put it away, and only took the sapphire from Mr. Zhuang and handed it to Daji, "Tell grandma, I will wear this at the crowning ceremony."
"Yes," Daji took it, "Master, this is the list drawn up by the old lady. Do you think there is anyone else who needs to be added?"
Bai Shan stretched out his hand to take it, because it was a make-up birthday, and there was just a turmoil in the court, he didn't really want to make it big, so he tried to do it as simple as possible, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Liu still invited a lot of people.
Seeing Bai Shan frowned, Daji said: "The old lady said that this is already the simplest, not to mention the relatives and friends of the young master and young lady, even people like Zhao Guogong have to be invited."
He said: "In addition to being a member of Zhongshushe, you are also a county magistrate. Among the titles, Duke Zhao is the most respected. Naturally, you want to invite him."
What's more, the two families are still somewhat related.
Of course, it is Zhao Guogong's business whether to come or not, but they must do their best to be polite.
But if Zhao Guogong invited, some other people had to invite.
Bai Shan sighed, "Sir, there are indeed many things to consider."
If you want him to explain why it's so troublesome, he can invite whoever he wants, even those who are not close. But in the eyes of the polite Mrs. Liu, this is a faux pas.
The Bai family had already prepared for the crown ceremony, and with the help of the Zhou family, it was not difficult to do it, as soon as the post was sent out.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man still don't have to worry about anything, they just need to listen to the orders to try on the clothes, cooperate with the embroiderer to change the clothes and so on.
At home, even Zhou Zhoulang was too busy, so he ran back and said to them, "I ordered two deer, and I will roast the venison for dinner."
Man Bao asked curiously, "Who did you book with?"
Zhou Zhoulang smiled, "Sixth Master Zhao."
Even Bai Shan was surprised, "How did you get together?"
Zhou Zhoulang said: "What do you mean by mixing together? Are we not allowed to have business dealings?"
Ever since Zhou Zhoulang came into contact with the heavy rain in the Western Regions from Zhou Man, he started to take the route of the Western Regions, but he seldom traveled that far, mostly because he made an appointment with Heavy Rain.
He transported their goods over, and Zhou Zhou Lang transported the native products of the Central Plains, and the two sides bartered.
Although Zhao Liulang has become an official and received an extra salary, the money is still not enough to spend, especially since his wife gave birth to a daughter for him, and he feels that the money is even more insufficient.
So Zhao Liulang asked Zhou Zhoulang to cooperate, and he could get some money.
Zhou Zhoulang also likes to cooperate with Zhao Liulang.
The dude Zhao Liulang in the capital basically knows each other, and the big dude outside the capital, Zhao Liulang can also talk. The gems, pearls, spices and treasured knives he brought back made more money through Zhao Liulang's hands than he did by himself. too much.
Moreover, he found that Zhao Liulang's name seemed to be more useful than Princess Changyu's. Some people might not buy it when calling out the name of Princess Changyu outside, but most people would not dare to act rashly if they called Zhao Liulang's name .
If it wasn't for their pleasant cooperation before, and Man Bao and Princess Changyu were friends again, he would have wanted to change partners.
It's just that Zhou Lijun has always expressed his opposition. In her words, "You can't just look at the present, but also look at what will happen in ten, even twenty, or thirty years."
She said: "Duke Zhao is here now, and Zhao Liulang is the young master of the Duke's mansion. In the future, when Duke Zhao is gone, if the Zhao family is separated, then he is just a bodyguard. But the princess, no matter ten years or twenty years later, Or thirty years from now, she will always be a princess."
Zhou Zhoulang thought it was reasonable, so he took Changyu to play all the time.
Changyu didn't know that she was almost kicked out of the car, she generously prepared gifts for Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and then went to eat their wedding wine with a full stomach in advance.
That's right, Changyu is pregnant, and her belly is showing. Wei Yu helped her to come, and then avoided her and whispered to Bai Shan, "Help me, Master Zhou, to take care of the princess."
Bai Shanxiao: "I see that Princess Changyu has four palace maids with her. Why, it's not enough for this little person to take care of her?"
Wei Yu smiled wryly, "Why are they the same?"
He said: "I don't know what's wrong. After she became pregnant, her taste became very strange. First, she said that noodles sandwiched with raw noodles are more delicious, and then she likes to eat some stinky things. She keeps saying that they are delicious. Now it is Not to mention eating those strange things, but as soon as she smelled the wine, she was intoxicated and kept swallowing, if she didn’t know that wine is not good for the fetus, and I watched closely, she would have really eaten it.”
Bai Shan was dumbfounded.
Wei Yu said: "In short, there are many problems. Today you are crowning the ceremony, the wine used by the house must be good, and there are many people who use it. I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it... You also know that she has never had the will to resist what she eats. .”
Bai Shan: ...
He could only agree, turned around to find Zhou Man, and told Wei Yu what he had said.
Man Bao's eyes widened when he heard this, and exclaimed: "There are such symptoms. I read some books that women have some strange reactions after pregnancy, but the common ones are eating sour lethargy and vomiting. I rarely see other strange symptoms. There was a reaction, I didn’t expect it to happen.”
Seeing how excited she was, Bai Shan said helplessly, "Then why don't you go and have a look?"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Bai Shandao: "Remember to keep an eye on her, the princess is no better than before, she can't eat carelessly."
