Deng Shaodian has always been famous for his poisonous tongue, but he is withdrawn and always lives alone. He never takes sides. He speaks and does things based on his own likes and dislikes. Therefore, he offended many people in the court, but Lu Mingwei has always admired him. Deng Shaodian, now in his early forties, Deng Shaodian has become a third-rank imperial censor, left and deputy censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. This shows that Lu Mingwei really favors him.
Wei Junchen felt like he had been slapped several times in public, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Deng Shaodian, please tell me clearly who is the culprit. If it wasn't Prince Ning..."
"Why are you making such a fuss?! Isn't it annoying enough?!" Emperor Lu Ming, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly shouted coldly, "Shut up!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and they knelt on the ground, and suddenly the hall was silent.
Lu Mingwei glanced at each minister coldly, and finally his eyes fell on the prince Lu Zhiyue, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, what do you think?"
Lu Zhiyue took a step forward in a hurry, and then said: "I think that we should first send envoys to Beidi to negotiate. It would be best if we can successfully welcome Princess Duanhui and Princess Duanhui back to Dali. If not, there is no need to get hurt." If the harmony between the two countries is compromised, Duanhui and the princess can only be wronged, and the country must be the most important thing."
Lu Mingwei nodded: "What the prince said is reasonable."
Deng Shaodian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, think twice..."
"Okay, this matter will be handled according to the prince's instructions, and the envoys will be selected by the prince." After Lu Mingwei made the final decision, he withdrew from the court.
Wei Junchen walked up to Deng Shaodian, smiled coldly, and walked away. Deng Shaodian's face turned pale with anger.

Prince Ning's Mansion.
study.
"General, Long Live Lord has no plans to welcome Princess Duanhui and Shuo back to Dali." Du Heng couldn't hide his grief and anger, and sighed, "Long Live Lord is too cool."
Lu Zhishan stared at the white porcelain cup in front of him. In the cup was the lingering and stretched Kuding. He had been very angry recently and Song Fu had soaked him in Kuding for several days.
"The princess already knows?" Lu Zhishan asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, now everyone in the capital is talking about Princess Duanhui and Princess Du Heng..." Du Heng swallowed back the words of a female maid and his son. He couldn't bear it, paused and said, "Princess Anle came to the palace today to see the Queen Mother. , the Queen Mother was missing, and the princess had to go to see the saint. She knelt at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony for two hours. Long live the Lord did not see her either, saying that the dragon was ill. Princess Anle could not stand up later, and was still beaten by two I was helped out of the palace by my servants.”
"Are there still any pomegranates in Xihuai Courtyard?" Lu Zhishan suddenly asked.
Du Heng was startled, then nodded and said, "There are quite a few more."
"Go and pick a basket right now," Lu Zhishan said, adding, "Choose big ones, round ones, red ones, and sweet ones."
"Yes, I obey," Du Heng said. After a pause, he couldn't help but add, "I really didn't expect Master Ding to speak out for Princess Duanhui and Shuo today. I always thought that Master Ding was also a pedantic master. , but my subordinates misjudged Mr. Ding.”
"Ding Shaodian has always had an eccentric temperament. He doesn't take sides, doesn't form factions, is not afraid of offending others, but has his own set of principles for doing things. This is probably the only one in the Dali Dynasty," Lu Zhishan said slowly, "Back then, Fang Zeduan was a golden man. He was the No. 2 scholar in the department, but he was not convinced. He questioned Long Live Lord in court, leading to a tit-for-tat confrontation between Fang Zeduan and him. In the end, Ding Shaodian was still inferior to Fang Zeduan, but he also won the favor of Long Live Lord because of it. This is a good story. Well, although Ding Shaodian has offended countless people over the years, he has been protected by Long Live Lord, and his official career has been prosperous. "
