The right minister's wife lamented, "Why did she suddenly become so seriously ill?"

The right minister didn't say anything. The boy over there drove a carriage over. Yin Shuang helped Shen Wan get into the carriage. The right minister and his wife saluted Shen Wan.

In the carriage, Shen Wan leaned against the carriage, thinking about the serious illness of the Minister of Rites.

In his previous life, the Minister of Rites also fell ill before the emperor's birthday banquet. He fell ill and died within a few days. The position of the Minister of Rites was vacant. Anding Bo took over the post of Minister of Rites. Naturally, he was also responsible for the birthday banquet of the Emperor. , I wonder if the emperor will arrange it like this again in this life.

Generally, when the position of minister is vacant, it is usually promoted by the minister. Unfortunately, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites is a man who has been kidnapped and is still observing filial piety. The emperor's birthday banquet is a first-class celebration. Whoever's turn it is, it probably won't be Mr. Chen's turn.

As the carriage gurgled forward, Shen Wan stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes to rest.

After running forward for a while, the carriage slowly stopped and Yin Shuang said, "We're here now?"

The boy said, "The prince is here."

I have never seen their prince care so little about his princess.

He accompanies her wherever she goes. If she doesn't accompany her, she will pick up the princess.

Shen Wan opened the car curtain and saw Xie Jingyan riding over. Shen Wan said, "You're not here to pick me up, are you?"

Xie Jingyan said, "The emperor summoned me to the palace."

Boy, "..."

The boy silently took back what he had just said about the prince.

Actually entering the palace...

Shen Wan's heart was a little ready to move.

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "The Minister of Rites is seriously ill, and the Emperor seems to be interested in arranging for someone to take over the post of Minister of Rites."

Xie Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Shen Wan said, "Although there is no hope, you can try to recommend me to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

The black line on Xie Jingyan's forehead slid down, and his eyes were a little suspicious, "Are you looking for a scolding for me?"

...Is it that obvious?

Shen Wan blinked and said, "I found it for you, so you don't have to think about it yourself anymore?"

Xie Jingyan, "..."

What a wonderful wife.

He definitely burned a lot of incense in his previous life.

The boy, Yin Shuang and Chen Feng were all suffering from internal injuries.

Although it was not a busy street, there were still many people passing by. There was a carriage coming over there, so Shen Wan lowered the curtain.

The servant drove the carriage back to the palace, and Xie Jingyan continued riding into the palace.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Prince Ling's Mansion. After Yin Shuang got off the carriage, she helped Shen Wan down and stepped into the mansion.

Neither the master nor the servant noticed that the young boy riding behind him came over on horseback and presented the greeting card in his hand to the doorkeeper.

When Shen Wan walked to the second door, the maid shouted from behind, "Princess..."

Shen Wan stopped and the maid ran over and said, "The Minister of Rites is seriously ill. I took the invitation and wanted to ask Doctor Tao to treat his illness."

The emperor has asked his right minister to visit the Minister of Rites on his behalf. Zhao Yuanzheng will definitely be sent to treat the Minister of Rites. If Doctor Tao is invited, the imperial physician in the palace and even Zhao Yuanzheng will definitely be helpless.

I specially sent a greeting card to invite you. Shen Wan would not refuse the favor, so she agreed immediately.

As for Xie Jingyan, after riding into the palace, he went straight to the imperial study.

From a distance, he could see Zhao Yuan entering the imperial study. When he walked in, Zhao Yuan was replying, "The Minister of Rites is seriously ill, and he should have been there for the past two days."

The emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Yuanzheng withdrew.

Xie Jingyan stepped forward and asked, "What does your father want from me?"

There is nothing wrong with this. The problem is that the voice is full of impatience.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but want to ask someone to drag Xie Jingyan down and beat him.

He glared at Xie Jingyan and said, "If nothing happens, can't I come to you?"

Xie Jingyan frowned, "Have you finished approving Father's memorial?"

Eunuch Yuan, "..."

The emperor picked up the memorial and was about to throw it at it, but Eunuch Yuan held him firmly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince Ling is concerned about you and is afraid that you will be tired."

The emperor laughed angrily, "Which eye did you see?!"

Eunuch Yuan didn't dare to answer the call.

But the memorial stopped him.

The emperor glared at Xie Jingyan, "The Minister of Rites is seriously ill, so I will leave it to you to prepare a birthday banquet for me."

Xie Jingyan, "...???"

Let him prepare a birthday party?

Did my father take the wrong medicine? How dare you leave this matter to him?

Xie Jingyan looked at the emperor suspiciously, "Father, if you don't want to hold a birthday banquet, you can just say so. The civil and military officials will not force you to do it."

The emperor's anger surged towards Tianling Gai.

Eunuch Yuan decided that when the emperor summoned Prince Ling in the future, he would take laxatives. He would rather stay in the latrine than stay in the royal study room where the emperor and Prince Ling were at the same time.

The Emperor is right. There are so many civil and military ministers in the dynasty, and there are several princes who can take on this job. Why does the Emperor insist on letting Prince Ling take charge of this matter?

To be honest, not to mention that Prince Ling thought this way, even he suspected that the emperor did not want to hold this birthday banquet.

There was never a time when King Ling did not create trouble for the Emperor and asked him to prepare a birthday banquet. Did the Emperor want the birthday to be blocked from beginning to end?

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Xizi came in and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to see you as the king."

The emperor said, "Let him come in."

Xiao Xizi stepped back, and then Cheng Wang walked in.

The anger on the emperor's face dissipated somewhat when he saw King Cheng. King Cheng asked Duke Yuan, "What's going on?"

Duke Yuan said fairly, "The Minister of Rites is seriously ill, and the emperor wants Prince Ling to be responsible for the birthday banquet..."

King Cheng glanced at Xie Jingyan, then looked at the emperor and said, "My brother is here just because of the emperor's birthday banquet. Just now, my brother went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother heard that the Minister of Rites was seriously ill, and felt that my brother had been paying tribute to Yun'er all these years. Although Yun'er's illness has greatly improved, it's time for my younger brother to share the emperor's worries. Since King Ling is unwilling to be responsible for the emperor's birthday banquet, this matter will be left to my younger brother. Bar."

Xie Jingyan said, "Uncle Cheng Wang is responsible for this matter, isn't your father still worried?"

The anger that had been suppressed on the emperor's face surged back a little, but he still left the matter to King Cheng.

Cheng Wang said, "I am afraid that the illness of the Minister of Rites will not be cured. My younger brother is responsible for this matter, and the cooperation of the Ministry of Rites is needed. The post of Minister of Rites, Anding Bo is qualified."

The emperor frowned slightly, and Xie Jingyan said, "Not long ago, An Dingbo was punished by his father for protecting his shortcomings by hitting him with a rake. If the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites is given to him, he might not be able to convince the public. The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Chen Ding You, even my father is trying to win his favor." If he is to be reused, he is far more familiar with the Ministry of Rites than Anding Bo, so my father can directly promote him."

A flash of displeasure flashed in King Cheng's eyes, and he said, "Mrs. Chen has passed away. Mr. Chen should observe filial piety for three years. The emperor has stolen his love, and he has lost his filial piety. The Minister of Rites has to participate in all kinds of auspicious ceremonies. It is not like there is no one in the court." If you are qualified to be the Minister of Rites, why bother Mr. Chen?”

"It's really inappropriate for Prince Ling to choose a worthy person as his wife."

Xie Jingyan smiled, "It is said that when you recommend a good person, you should not avoid relatives. I recommend Prince Yanping and the others to join the City Patrol Division. Are there any areas where they are incompetent?"

Xie Jingyan asked Prince Yanping and others to silence King Cheng, who had nothing to say.

The City Patrol Division captured the Grand Master of the Duke of Tan State at the front, and Princess Shouchun at the back. The City Patrol Division is the most competent yamen in Kyoto, bar none.

King Cheng did not answer, and Xie Jingyan continued, "There are many civil and military ministers in the imperial court, but my father, Master Chen, stole his love precisely because the post of right minister of the Ministry of Rites was held by someone else, and troubles occurred again and again. The post of minister of the Ministry of Rites was more important and more important. Need to be cautious.”

King Cheng looked at the emperor, "What does the emperor think?"

At some point, most of the anger on the emperor's face had disappeared, and he said, "Master Chen has good ability in doing things. Until the Minister of Rites recovers from his illness, Master Chen will temporarily take over the post of Minister of Rites."

Although it is a temporary appointment, the Minister of Rites is seriously ill and cannot be cured. Once this position becomes vacant, Mr. Chen will definitely take over.

King Cheng really didn't expect that King Ling would not even take over the emperor's birthday banquet. He recommended Mr. Chen in the emperor's anger, and the emperor actually agreed.

King Cheng resigned.

As he left, he glanced back at Xie Jingyan and the Emperor, his eyes dark and unpredictable.

King Cheng left the imperial study and went directly out of the palace. When he returned to Prince Cheng's palace, Bo Anding came over. King Cheng said, "The emperor has handed over the post of Minister of Rites to Chen Shilang for the time being."

An Dingbo was surprised, "How could it be given to Chen Shilang? He is still in the period of filial piety. It cannot be handed over to Yao Shilang."

Cheng Wang said, "He was recommended by King Ling."

It's King Ling again!

The thought of King Ling kicking one of his son's ribs made Uncle Anding furious.

When King Cheng entered the palace, Bo Anding still had something to discuss with King Cheng, so he followed him in.

King Cheng walked outside the study, and a secret guard appeared and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the fiefdom."

Andingbo took a few steps away.

The secret guard whispered something into King Cheng's ear, and King Cheng's expression changed, "How could this matter leak out? Has anyone stayed?"

The secret guard replied, "The man was injured and fell off the cliff. There is no possibility of survival."

"This matter must not be taken lightly."

"Yes!"

After the secret guard left, King Cheng's eyes looked like they were carved from ice.

When Andingbo came over and saw it, he was frightened.
