Chapter 101 Two birds with one stone

"He seems to be looking for something, it looks like a very important jade pendant." Qiao'er said here with a look of gloating on his face, "Who told him to be so shameless, he deserves to lose it. Princess, you say this is It’s not that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, it’s not that the time has not come for not to repay.”

Rongan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the jade pendant in his sleeve, a look of embarrassment appeared on his fair face.

Qiaoer said this to himself and did not notice the change in Rongan's expression. "Since it is a very important jade pendant, it must be much more valuable than two bowls of wontons. Now I feel more balanced, hum."

Rongan said nothing, thinking deeply.

Qiao'er suddenly changed the topic, "Princess, we don't know which family's future prince is our son, why are you not in a hurry. Why don't we look for it today."

"I think I already know which family he belongs to." Rong An's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly stood up and walked out the door.

Before Qiaoer could react, Rong An had already walked to the door, "Princess, where are you going?"

"Enter the palace."

"Ah?!" Qiao'er paused for a moment, her fair and round face was full of bewilderment, and she quickly chased her out.

Eunuch Liu finished delivering the oral order, completed the task, and returned to the palace again. Before entering the main hall, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground from inside.

He gasped at the door and walked slowly into the hall.

Bypassing various obstacles on the ground, he walked towards Emperor Wu, plopped and knelt on the ground, "The emperor calms down, the dragon body is important."

Emperor Wu glanced at Eunuch Liu who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't continue throwing things, but he didn't calm down either.

"Tell me, why can't they all settle down a little bit more? Do I want to appoint a sixth-rank Captain Fengche and ask them to tell me what to do? When I appoint a minister, I need others to intervene."

Eunuch Liu didn't get up, and he didn't answer the words. He knew in his heart that everything he said at the moment was wrong, and the emperor had to straighten out his tone.

Xu Zhang and the others kept trying to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the Huo brothers. According to the emperor's character, he would never pay attention to it. He was powerful with an iron fist, and he could award rewards as he wanted. But today, the emperor sent an oral order to let Huo Guang rest at home. Prove a point.

Although the emperor was angry at Xu Zhang and the others for their harassment, he was actually wary of this matter. Otherwise, he could just ignore it, so why bother being angry himself.

Anger proves that the heart is hesitating and struggling.

Eunuch Liu has been by the emperor's side for so long, and he knows that Emperor Wu's temperament is good, he cherishes talents and is afraid of talents. After all, he is an emperor. Of course, the most important thing is to consolidate his imperial power. , the emperor will not tolerate it.

But this time Xu Zhang and the others hit the emperor's intentions.

Under such circumstances, Eunuch Liu would keep silent on such a sensitive topic, unless the emperor insisted on letting him speak.

At this time, Emperor Wu suddenly asked, "Liu Sheng, tell me, is my reward to Huo Guang unreasonable?"

"This..." Liu Sheng is a smart man. After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "General Huo is His Majesty's nephew, and this Huo Guang is also His Majesty's nephew according to his seniority. Since they are both nephews, it is you Housework, outsiders are not qualified to intervene."

chores.

Emperor Wu smiled slightly, his eyebrows stretched, and he cast admiring glances at Liu Sheng.

Yes, there is no need for others to intervene in housework. Do you still need them to dictate the appointment of your nephew?

The little eunuch outside the door walked cautiously and slowly into the hall, "Your Majesty, Princess Rongan wishes to see you."

Emperor Wu's anger eased slightly, and he raised his hand to signal Eunuch Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up.

Liu Sheng hurriedly called the little eunuch behind him to pick up the things that fell on the ground. After everything was tidied up, he went out to invite Princess Rong'an into the palace.

Princess Rong An has been waiting for a while, but she doesn't know what happened in the hall.She always subconsciously touched the things in her sleeves.

Originally, Emperor Wu's mood had already begun to ease, but when he saw Rong An coming, his mood improved even more.He knew that Rong An came to him for only one thing - a major event in life, and this was what Emperor Wu was most passionate about.

Although Emperor Wu could see it, he said jokingly, "Why did Rong An find me?"

Rong An smiled slightly, his lips slightly parted, "Rong An wants to hold a competition in the name of the Emperor."

"Competition?" Emperor Wu repeated in surprise. Originally, he thought that Rong An came here just to find the wishful gentleman through him. After all, as the emperor, it is too easy to find someone in Chang'an. Finding the same is much simpler.

But never thought that when Rong An opened his mouth, he didn't want to find Mr. Ruyi, but asked him to hold some kind of competition, which aroused Emperor Wu's interest even more. Could it be that he wanted to hold a new son-in-law competition.

Emperor Wu Xiao continued to ask with interest, "Could it be that Rong An wants me to hold another son-in-law competition for you? No problem, you can do it anytime."

Rong An shook his head lightly, "Returning to Your Majesty, Rong An is not trying to recruit a son-in-law, Rong An just wants to hold a competition."

"Hiss." Emperor Wu didn't understand what Rong An meant, "Since it's not for recruiting a son-in-law, why is there a competition for essays? And only for essays?"

"Rong An has his own plan. Please ask the Emperor for permission. As long as the Emperor announces this competition, anyone in Chang'an City can participate. The reward of the competition is this jade pendant." Rong An stepped forward and presented the jade pendant in his hand to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu was puzzled at first, but the moment he got the jade pendant, he understood everything.Because there is a word "Huo" engraved on the jade pendant.

There are quite a few jade pendants with such a quality in Chang'an City, but this is the only one that has the word "Huo" engraved on it.

I just don't know which member of the Huo family Rong An belongs to.

Ordinarily, if it were a martial arts competition, Emperor Wu would definitely be his elder brother, but this Biwen probably wouldn't even participate in the hussar generals.

Emperor Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be my younger brother?"

Rong An couldn't help but smile when the emperor suddenly guessed his thoughts.

Emperor Wu understood clearly, and said loudly, "Okay, the Biwen Contest will be held today."

After Rong An thanked the emperor, he left the hall.

She was very happy in her heart, with the permission of the emperor, the influence of the competition held by the emperor himself must be unprecedented, and she might not be able to find him.Thinking of this, Rong An smiled wisely.

After Rongan left, Emperor Wu was in a good mood. Of course he was happy to be able to broker a marriage.

Liu Sheng, who was standing aside, covered his mouth and snickered, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu laughed loudly, "You should congratulate Rong An, why should you congratulate me?"

"Of course, congratulations to the emperor. With this competition, both problems can be easily solved, killing two birds with one stone."

Emperor Wu glanced at Liu Sheng and raised the corners of his mouth in a playful manner, "Tell me, how can you kill two birds with one stone?"

"Isn't the emperor always worried about Huo Guang's appointment? Now that there is Princess Rong'an, doesn't it happen that he has a good position for him. He has a noble status and can stay away from Chang'an? This is really killing two birds with one stone."
