At the welcome banquet, Xiang Han asked Luo Bai's experience with a smile over the years, but actually wanted to hear what ingredients the other party had brought back.
Luo Bai is more confident now, and has no fear when facing the officials. When talking about the experience of these years, he even talked eloquently, and many interesting stories and thrills aroused the amazement of the officials.
When Xiang Han went across the sea, he didn't make a fuss like the officials, but he also smiled the whole time, as if he was listening very seriously.
Zhao Ze was drinking alone, away from the hustle and bustle, as if he was excluded from everyone. He raised his head by chance, and seeing the little emperor looking at Luo Bai with a smile all the time, he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart. When he led the army to return triumphantly, he did not see His Majesty asking so earnestly.
After the banquet, Xiang Han left Luo Bai in the palace, saying that he would have a long talk all night.
Zhao Ze felt uncomfortable again after hearing this, and after returning home, he was still in a depressed mood, so he couldn't help but drank some wine, and went to the morning court the next day with a splitting headache.
However, after waiting for a long time in the hall with all his ministers, he was told that the little emperor was unwell and would be exempted from court today.
Xiang Han is not a particularly diligent emperor, sometimes he is lazy, and occasionally he will stop court once in a while. The ministers have long been used to it, and they didn't take it seriously, and they dispersed after a while.
But Zhao Ze panicked for a while, Luo Bai came back yesterday, and even stayed in the palace, His Majesty treats him so special, would it be...
He couldn't stop thinking about it, and after leaving the main hall, he walked out of the bedroom for some reason.
The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, with a troubled expression on his face: "Lord Zhao, Your Majesty has just rested."
Xiang Han had just finished discussing recipes and planting techniques with Luo Bai, and was about to take a rest at this time, when he heard the voice he couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"
The little eunuch hurriedly reported back: "Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao asks to see you."
Zhao Ze? I came to see him specially in the morning. Could it be something important
Xiang Han yawned, was wrapped in a quilt and sat on the dragon bed, and said forcefully, "Let him in."
Zhao Ze didn't salute when he entered the bedroom, but only looked at Xiang Han with burning eyes.
Xiang Han was half asleep when he saw him, and couldn't help asking: "Zhao Qing, what's the important thing to see me in such a hurry?"
Zhao Ze still didn't speak, and still only looked at him.
"Zhao Qing?" Xiang Han asked again.
Zhao Ze's expression was gloomy, and he asked with some difficulty: "Your Majesty... yesterday with Lord Luo..."
His voice was hoarse, and his brows furrowed unconsciously when he spoke, and he couldn't even ask the last few words.
Xiang Han was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Zhen and Luo Qing?"
Zhao Ze closed his eyes fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Does Your Majesty like Lord Luo?"
"What?" Xiang Han was stunned for a moment, almost choking on his saliva.
"Zhao, Zhao Qing, why are you asking this suddenly? How could I like Luo Qing? And even if I have something to do with him, you shouldn't ask." He said with some dark lines.
Hearing his denial, Zhao Ze was startled for a moment, but then turned from sadness to joy. His first reaction was that he should seize the opportunity and not give up the little emperor to others.
He couldn't help but take a step forward, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you really plan to choose a concubine?"
"Zhao Qing, are you also here to persuade me?" It turned out that it was because of this, Xiang Han couldn't help frowning, and then sighed: "To tell you the truth, Zhao Qing, I have already decided to adopt a stepchild from the clan, so don't persuade me anymore."
Zhao Ze's heart was filled with joy in an instant, as if he saw the dawn of hope, he couldn't help but asked again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that you once complained to the minister that you might be lonely for the rest of your life?"
"Uh, it seems to be..." Xiang Han shrank back, feeling a bad feeling.
Zhao Ze took another step closer, knelt down, looked up at him, and said, "Your Majesty, you won't, because I am willing to serve you with my body."
"???"
Xiang Han was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he said in a confused way: "I see, I'm sleepy, I'll discuss this matter later, I want to rest..."
"Your Majesty, didn't you hear what the minister said just now? The minister said..."
"..." Xiang Han lifted the quilt directly and was drilled in, and then arched, wrapping himself into a chrysalis.
"Xiao Jiu, the situation is not good, the line of monarch and minister is about to collapse."
After rolling a few laps, he finally calmed down.
System: "It's okay, there is still a love route."
"The point is that the famous minister wants to become a sycophant, what about the mission? Also, I didn't realize it before, when did Zhao Ze cheat?"
System: "Actually... the night Zhao Ze came back from the southwest, I was blocked for a while."
Big A: "In terms of tasks and resonance... I choose resonance."
Xiang Han: "..."
Zhao Ze saw that Xiang Han wrapped himself up in a ball and pushed him back and forth. At first he was worried that he would be bored, and then he was afraid that he would entangle him and he would not be able to get out. So he knelt on one knee on the dragon bed, leaned over to stop the 'quilt', and asked while tugging: "Your Majesty, are you all right? Are you bored?"
"It's okay, I'm sleepy, you go back first." Xiang Han's voice came out quickly, a little muffled.
The old man who had taught him not to be masculine with a stern face suddenly confessed to him, no, he suddenly dedicated himself to him, and Xiang Han felt that he couldn't accept it for a while. Although he didn't seem to be against it, and he had a good impression of Zhao Ze, he still had to stay calm.
Zhao Ze couldn't help but become more worried when he heard his voice muffled, and he pulled harder. Xiang Han noticed it, and rolled inward, and ended up bringing Zhao Ze down on the ground, firmly pressing on him.
Xiang Han let out an 'ow' sound when he was crushed, feeling like his waist was about to break, and almost burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Zhao Ze panicked, got up quickly, and quickly pulled the little emperor out.
Xiang Han poked his head out with great effort, his hair was a little wet with sweat, and said with difficulty: "I was almost crushed to death by you."
Zhao Ze knelt on the dragon bed and pleaded guilty: "It's the minister who made a mistake, please forgive me for being innocent."
"You... Alas." Xiang Han waved his dragon claws, for the sake of the mission, he planned to save the precarious relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
"Zhao Qing, when you told me "Biography of Ning Xing" back then, you said that courtiers who are favored by color and charm will end badly. The emperor's favor on courtiers is the beginning of disaster for the country. Why do I forget it now? ? You are my important minister and beloved general, and I don't want you to be ruined by this." He said with a stern face, heartbroken.
Zhao Ze's lips moved, and he said in a low voice: "I have thought about what Your Majesty said many times and hesitated for a long time. But I would rather bear the infamy than watch Your Majesty with others."
It turned out to be a long-planned plan? Xiang Han was dumbfounded.
"At least I am loyal to His Majesty, and I will never slander you. Besides, Your Majesty didn't directly refuse just now, and even felt sad for my minister. Is it... Your Majesty also has a minister in your heart?" cold.
"..." Xiang Han continued to be dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Zhao Ze's eyes were full of tenderness: "Your Majesty may find it difficult to accept it for a while, after all, I have ignored His Majesty's wishes and hurt His Majesty's heart, but this time..."
"Wait, wait!" Xiang Han interrupted in time, and asked in astonishment: "When did I express my heart to you?"
Zhao Ze was slightly stunned, seeing that the little emperor's expression did not seem to be fake, he couldn't help but frowned and pondered, could it be...he misunderstood again
Xiang Han quickly seized the opportunity, and tried to persuade him: "I think you may have misunderstood something, you should go back and think about it, don't make a mistake and become eternal hatred. Also, I really want to rest."
Zhao Ze pursed his lips, finally stepped back from the dragon bed, and said sadly, "I have nothing to do with you, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Xiang Han directly told him to leave quickly, and then rolled on the dragon bed. Although the rejection was so straightforward just now, to be honest, I feel a little lost in my heart. It must have been influenced by the first two worlds.
Little B suddenly said: "Mr. Xiang, Cheng Xing is also a famous minister, a famous courtier."
Xiang Han: "Are you bullying me for my low culture? Isn't it a famous virtuous minister?"
Little B: "..." The job of fooling around is getting harder and harder.
After being disturbed by Zhao Ze, Xiang Han couldn't sleep at all, so he simply got up to critique the papers. After approving for a while, I was really sleepy again.
The next day, Xiang Hanxuan Luobai came to discuss planting matters.
What Luo Bai meant was to set aside a piece of land for trial planting first, and then promote it if the effect is good. After all, the climate, water and soil are different, and he doesn't know whether the seeds and vines he brought back will survive.
But Xiang Han couldn't wait, the year of natural disasters was approaching, he had to promote it as soon as possible. So he directly said to Luo Bai: "I will hand over Huangzhuang to you, as many as there are."
Luo Bai was a little surprised, hesitantly said: "But the clan..."
"Don't worry about them." Xiang Han waved his hand directly.
If he had just been in power, he would probably be afraid of the clan. But now that he has military power and political power, he doesn't need to care about those people's opinions at all, although half of the military power is in the hands of Zhao Ze, uh.
Thinking of Zhao Ze, he couldn't help but feel a little headache. Thanks to what happened yesterday, he now deliberately avoids the other party, and when he went to court today, he didn't even dare to ask the other party to help him approve the papers.
Seeing his listless look, Luo Bai couldn't help asking: "What's on your mind, Your Majesty?"
"It's not Zhao Ze... uh."
"Master Zhao?"
"Hey, he fell in love with someone he shouldn't like, and he complained to me yesterday." Xiang Han slipped his tongue for a while, and hurriedly said indiscriminately.
"Oh, it's no wonder Mr. Zhao hasn't married a wife yet. I heard that Zhao's residence held a flower viewing feast today, so Mr. Zhao asked for leave early to go back. There is someone in his heart, but the family doesn't allow it, and sorrow is inevitable." Luo Bai was stunned for a while, and then went back It's a little strange, what's the matter with His Majesty
Flower viewing party? Are you still on leave? Isn't this a blind date in disguise
Xiang Han was inexplicably angry and couldn't help grinding his teeth.
Well, you Zhao Ze, you just confessed your love yesterday, and today you went on a blind date, how can you play me like a monkey? It's a shame I'm still struggling with all these things.
