The emperor was wearing a yellow brocade robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread. He was pressing his hands on the railing and his upper body was slightly bent. Concubine Lian looked at him from the side and behind, and he looked sternly. His expressionless, indifferent eyes seemed to see nothing, but with his forward posture, it seemed as if everything was at his feet.
Concubine Lian didn't know why he mentioned this matter, but the aura of a king suddenly spread out from her body.
There was a look of suspicion on her face, her brows furrowed slightly, and she carefully considered the meaning of the emperor's words just now. The emperor had always preferred the child from the Marquis' family, so the emperor was relieved that Mu'er had made friends with him. The remaining words...
Concubine Lian then stood up and walked towards the emperor. She did not get too close. She stood one step behind on the left, lowered her eyebrows and asked softly: "What did the Marquis say when he entered the palace that worried the emperor?" ?"
"He recommended me a candidate for prime minister." The emperor's voice was indistinguishable from emotion to emotion.
"Does the Emperor have a suitable candidate in mind?" Concubine Lian spoke carefully.
"I have been very hesitant about this candidate, but the one he proposed is a good one." The emperor turned to look at Concubine Lian, and saw that she looked submissive, not raising her head, stepping forward, or getting close.
"As long as the Emperor is satisfied." Concubine Lian replied softly.
The emperor laughed instead, and Concubine Lian did not dare to ask. The emperor could only say bluntly: "He recommended Mr. Ju, the Minister of Rites."
After saying these words, Concubine Lian suddenly understood the true purpose of this dinner.
"If the emperor wants to ask if I know about this matter, I don't know. If the emperor suspects that Mu'er went to ask the marquis, I assert that it is absolutely impossible." She did not show any panic as usual, but raised her head to meet the emperor coldly. Strong eyebrows.
Concubine Lian knew that what the emperor wanted was attitude.
This carefully arranged dinner is a favor, and the sudden kingly aura is a power. The combination of grace and power finally placed the position of prime minister on the father's head. This is a beating and a reward.
The emperor took her hand and pulled her forward, and Concubine Lian stood shoulder to shoulder with him: "I know that I will appoint Mr. Ju as prime minister tomorrow morning."
A smile appeared on Concubine Lian's lips, but the smile was rather bitter.
If she takes away her identity as his concubine and looks at this matter from a distance, the emperor does not want a second Du Hanfei to appear in Xiao Guo. This combination of kindness and power, the emperor's mind and heart are really applauded.
However, he is her husband.
For a moment just now, she actually thought that the emperor had feelings for her...
"My father is old and is no longer qualified for this position." Concubine Lian sighed.
The Emperor has always liked the eyebrows on Concubine Lian's face, the paintings on Concubine Lian's hands, and the transparency on Concubine Lian's body, but sometimes what he hates the most is that she is too transparent.
She clearly knew that what he needed at this moment was for her to show her gratitude and show her loyalty, to receive the mighty imperial favor and lean into his arms, and everything would be happy.
But at this moment, she had to go against his will and say this.
The emperor let go of her hand and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Let Mr. Ju do his best and give the younger generation some time to grow up."
Concubine Lian took a step back without leaving any trace: "Yes, father should devote himself to the emperor."
The emperor glanced at the vacant seat beside him: "As the mother-in-law, don't you think about Mu'er's future?"
Concubine Lian slightly bent her knees and bowed before leaving: "The wind picked up at night. I felt a little cold, so I went back to the palace first. Your Majesty, stay tight and don't let the wind blow."
The emperor turned around, his eyes were cold, his gaze swept across, like a blade, the evil aura was tangible.
However, Concubine Lian never moved. Although she was in a saluting posture, she was still neither humble nor overbearing.
The emperor looked at it for a long time, finally looked away and waved his hand.
Concubine Lian stood up and walked backwards out of the pavilion, then turned and walked towards Yaohua Palace.
You Rui followed behind. Seeing her unkind expression, she couldn't help but tried to persuade her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Seventh Highness is now quite favored by the Emperor. Why do you have to be angry with the Emperor?"
Concubine Lian paused slightly and said to You Rui: "Tonight, I have an unpleasant incident with the Emperor. You..."
"This slave should seal this matter off." You Rui responded quickly.
"No." Concubine Lian turned to look at her: "Go out..."
"Ah?" You Rui opened her mouth. Seeing Concubine Lian take a step, she quickly responded and followed her.
At the same time, in the backyard of Mingxiang Garden, Xia Chu, Bingwen, Xianli, and Su Qianan also finished their meals. Xianli had to go on stage in the evening and couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and left.
Xia Chu originally wanted Su Qian'an to send her as a gift, but Xian Li declined. She was just in disguise, so naturally she didn't want to go back without traces. As for Su Qian'an, her stature was really eye-catching.
Xia Chu thought about it and stopped being polite to her.
However, Bingwende's eyes were always following Xian Li's back. Xia Chu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Miss Xianli has been living in the capital for a long time. You have plenty of time to see it. But Qian'an will leave the capital soon. You two brothers are just here." It’s time to talk more about old times.”
"Qian'an is leaving Beijing? Where are you going? How long will you go?" Bingwen looked startled, withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at Su Qian'an, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"That is to say, the young master asked me to escort General Zhao back to Hanyang. It only takes a round trip." Su Qian'an waved his hand indifferently.
Xia Chu, on the other hand, carried Su Qian'an behind his back, winked at Bingwen, and made a silent "for a long time" gesture.
Bingwen understood in his heart and looked at Su Qian'an again. This idiot didn't know that Xia Chu had no intention of letting him come back.
There was a trace of reluctance in Bingwen's heart, and then he thought of another thing, and asked Xia Chu: "How busy is Han Yang when Qian'an is gone? I really need his help with something."
Xia Chu tilted his head, with a confused look on his face.
"I originally planned to bury some hidden piles in Hanyang. Since Qian'an is going, this matter will naturally..." Before Bingwen finished speaking, Xia Chu patted him on the shoulder: "Oh, why are you doing it now?" Having said it, I originally planned to wait until Han Yang arrived to give instructions on this matter."
Bingwen was confused. He had never mentioned this to Xia Chu
Su Qian'an was confused. Why, he had to open another Wentian Pavilion when he arrived in Hanyang
As for the reason why Xia Chu said those words, he was just following the trend. He was originally worried about how to keep Su Qian'an there after luring him to Hanyang. Bingwen had just said a way to kill two birds with one stone, so he followed Bingwen's advice. If so, Su Qian'an could be completely arranged.
Xia Chu looked like he was complaining that Bingwen had let something slip. He glanced at Su Qian'an with a complicated expression and said to him.
"Since Bingwen has accidentally said it, you should just listen to his instructions."
