Dongfang Jing's back trembled, as if struck by lightning, her whole body froze.
In the imperial palace, Emperor Ning held a banquet in Yuhua Palace for his ministers.
A full audience of ministers gathered together, but the first row on the right, the most conspicuous place, was empty, and no one was seated.
"Fu Suding is busy with military affairs, and has forgotten such an important day as New Year's Eve!" For some unknown reason, Emperor Ning trusted this capable general unconditionally, even Yu Chimo, who had followed him in the army for eight years , in his heart, there is no such important position!
If Zongzheng Fusu is not ugly and not as brutal as the outside rumors say, then he must be the son-in-law most courtiers want to have in the family! With him, not only can you gain military strength and power, but you can also gain the greatest trust of the lord of a country!
There are also those frenzied officials who, in order to get promoted, did not hesitate to sacrifice the happiness of their daughters, so they asked Xi Niang to come to marry him.
But Zongzheng Fusu had just lost his wife, and all the proposers were turned away!
Zi Yan arrived late, "Slave pays homage to His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live, Long live!"
Emperor Ning was slightly startled, "You... aren't you the one next to Fusu? Ziyan?"
"Exactly." Zi Yan raised her head, her clear eyes were like knives, "The slave came here today to deliver a message on behalf of the master!"
"Well, tell me." Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty spends New Year's Eve in the palace every year. Although it is lively and happy, it lacks new ideas. I am bold, please move your Majesty to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Zi Yan's eyes were clear and her face was heroic!
"Moving to the prime minister's mansion?" Emperor Ning frowned, "Fusu is right, I spend New Year's Eve in the palace every year, and I'm tired of watching and listening to the singing and dancing, but...why? Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?!"
Zhong Liyi clenched his fists and looked at Ziyan with burning eyes, with an ominous premonition passing through his heart.
Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty probably doesn't know yet, Prime Minister Zhongli is old and has a son, and the Prime Minister's wife has recently found out that she is pregnant, and the Prime Minister specially invited the most famous opera troupe in the capital to sing in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, just for Mrs. Bo Smile! My lord originally wanted to invite this troupe into the palace to sing for His Majesty, but he didn’t want to be preempted by the prime minister! The lord said, anyway, today is New Year’s Eve, and it’s a celebration of the whole world. How about asking all the ministers to go to the prime minister's mansion to watch a play together..."
"This, this... no..." Zhong Liyi never expected to be overthrown like this, and stammered to stop him, but he couldn't speak! Zongzheng Fusu and him have always been in harmony with each other, but today... hey!
Although there were many singing and dancing bands in the palace, due to the large number of female relatives, it was inconvenient for outside theater troupes to enter the palace. Emperor Ning indeed rarely had the opportunity to listen to operas.
He always thought that his beloved minister was only obsessed with the battlefield, but unexpectedly he also liked listening to operas.
Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows, laughed loudly, looked at Zhongliyi, and asked, "Zhongli Aiqing, is this girl telling the truth?! Madam is happy, Aiqing has a son in his prime, congratulations!"
Zhong Liyi didn't dare to lie, he bowed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, but there is this matter."
"Why didn't Aiqing tell you about such a happy event?" Emperor Ning waved his sleeves, "It's good to make everyone happy together!"
"I just got pregnant, Weichen originally wanted to wait until the baby was born..." Zhong Liyi's voice trailed off.
At this time, someone under the seat whispered.
"I heard that the prime minister's daughter gave birth to a bunch, but he didn't give birth to a son—"
