Mu Nanzhi was too busy to bow and salute: "I have met Mr. Duan."
Duan Feihong was so busy that he bowed and returned the courtesy: "Your Majesty and Princess, please get up quickly. I really can't bear it."
Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi then stood up. Duan Feihong stood aside. He watched Lu Zhishan neatly place the fruits and pastries in the food box on the altar table, while talking to Mu Nan Zhi Yiyi offered incense to Duan, and watched the two people bowing to Duan's spiritual throne. Duan Feihong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned his face away in a hurry.
When Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi stood up, Duan Feihong also bowed and returned the salute to them. Lu Zhishan helped him stand up, and then the three of them walked out of the mourning hall together. Mu Nanzhi quickened his pace and walked in front with a hint. , leaving their son-in-law to talk.
Duan Feihong stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, finally calmed down, and said to Lu Zhishan: "I didn't expect that the prince would come to sacrifice my daughter."
"Ms. Duan is my deceased wife, so I should come to pay homage to her," Lu Zhishan looked at Duan Feihong and lowered his voice, "The cold food during the Qingming Festival will inevitably make people sad. I would like to ask my father-in-law to express my condolences."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." The sound of "Father-in-law" fell in Duan Feihong's ears. He was really heartbroken and heart-warming. Duan Feihong looked at Lu Zhishan and seemed to want to say something to Lu Zhishan. But looking at Mu Nanzhi waiting under the tree, he still didn't speak. He just said to Lu Zhishan, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."
"Farewell." Lu Zhishan nodded to Duan Feihong.

After Duan Feihong left, Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi slowly walked side by side towards the exit of the imperial mausoleum. Mu Nanzhi looked at Duan Feihong's slightly stooped back and sighed to Lu Zhishan: "Master Duan, the Minister of Etiquette, is afraid that It’s been a lot of hard work, and I’ve become more and more stooped in the past few years, and I look more than ten years older than my actual age.”
"He comes from a famous family and is the eldest son of the Duan family. Zuo Xiang inevitably has high expectations for him. He is already under great pressure, and now that he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at him, so he cannot go out. If something goes wrong, it will naturally be harder than others." Lu Zhishan nodded and said, "Furthermore, the Duan family has been having a hard time in the past two years. Because of me, they have been bullied by the right prime minister in the court. He and the left prime minister are also struggling to support the suppression, which is very hard to think about. "
"I have also heard that the right prime minister and the left prime minister have always been at odds with each other. Since the war in southern Xinjiang started twenty years ago, the left prime minister and the right prime minister have become even more at odds. The left prime minister advocated war, and the right prime minister advocated peace. Long Live Lord first supported Left Prime Minister, after Dali was defeated, Long Live the Lord began to support the Right Prime Minister again. He ignored you, the powerful eldest prince, and instead helped the fourth prince to take over the East Palace. Now that the Right Prime Minister has fallen, the Left Prime Minister is naturally relieved. "Son, so these two prime ministers have been leading the court for several years," Mu Nanzhi nodded, while looking at Lu Zhishan curiously, "Wei Junchen fell down so suddenly, so empty Who will take over the position of Right Chancellor?"
Lu Zhishan said: "Eight or nine times out of ten, I will choose from the six ministerial books."
"Could that be Wan Yaojie, the Minister of Household Affairs?" Mu Nanzhi asked immediately, analyzing with great interest, "That Wan Yaojie is the brother of Concubine Wan Gui, and now Prince Baojun is also the leader... Sao, Long Live Lord will naturally be escorted by Prince Baojun."
Lu Zhishan asked with a smile: "Can Wan Yaojie protect Prince Baojun after becoming Right Prime Minister?"
