At this time, the emperor also heard the news brought back by the slaves who returned to the palace, and learned about the situation at Prince An's Mansion. Please go, even those people from the major families in the capital have gone.

Speaking of these big families, sometimes even the emperor has nothing to do with them, but he doesn't know when his son has won over so many people in private.

Emperor Hong tapped lightly twice with his finger on the armrest, with a pensive expression on his face.

Whenever this time, the emperor was thinking about things in his heart, but this time, the emperor was thinking about his beloved son.

child.

The emperor did not leave the palace today, and went to preside over his son's wedding in person.He didn't attend the eldest son's wedding back then, and he also didn't go to the second son's wedding, lest someone would make a fuss about it later.

In fact, the emperor didn't go to Prince An's Mansion today, because he didn't want to suppress this son.

The ministers in the court have mentioned the matter of establishing a prince several times recently, but the emperor has not made a decision on this matter for a long time.

The emperor felt that he was still in his prime, and he could still sit in this position for decades. It was not impossible for the prince to stand up later, so he was very concerned that someone would stare at the chair under his buttocks every day. , Is this wishing him to die sooner or something?If it wasn't for the favor of his good sons behind the scenes, would those people call the prince immediately every day?Even the emperor himself didn't believe it.

So for this son that he has always loved very much, the emperor has recently begun to feel a little displeased.

As an emperor, he is a father, but the same man is also a king who rules over all the people in the world.Therefore, in the emperor's heart, he hopes that his son is capable, but he doesn't want his son to be too capable, have too deep a foundation in business, and win over too many officials. At this time, it is easy for the emperor to have something else in his heart. thought up.

Today's son's marriage also let Hongdi see that his son has indeed grown up, and that the emperor is also getting old, so the emperor's mood is not very good.

"Okay, let's go." The emperor waved his hand, obviously not in a good mood.

"Cha." The servant below bowed and left.

"Show me the car, go to Xianglianyuan." The emperor sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a while, feeling bored, so he drove to Concubine Gu's place.

As for Xianglianyuan, upon receiving the news that the emperor was coming, Concubine Gu hurriedly changed into new clothes, and went to pick up the emperor. Prince Xiaoba also went with her.Now the little eighth prince is more than one year old and almost two years old. The child has been raised well after returning to the palace, and he is white and tender. This age is just when he is learning to speak. He was taught to be very obedient by Concubine Gu. The emperor saluted, but his posture was still a little unsteady.

"Haha, my dear son, you are so good, come and give your father a hug." The emperor often came to Concubine Gu's place, so naturally he would often see this little son.Seeing his youngest son salute his father in a dignified manner, Emperor Hong found all the satisfaction that he could not get elsewhere, and found it here with this youngest son.

"Father, I want to hug." Seeing that the father opened his hands to him, the child ran forward with a patter, and was hugged by the emperor.

For the little son who was almost lost, the emperor thought about it later, and felt a little guilty for the mother and son, so every time he came to the concubine, the emperor would hug the little son, and the relationship between the father and son gradually grew. better.

Seeing the emperor hugging his son, Concubine Gu, who was sitting by the side, said with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, don't spoil Chun'er all the time, be careful to spoil him."

"My little Ba'er, what's the matter with my pet?" The emperor made his son giggle, and he laughed too. With such a smile, he felt much better.Turning to the concubine on the opposite side, she said, "With you here, Xiao Ba'er can't be spoiled."

Concubine Gu could tell that the emperor was in a bad mood, and when she thought about what happened outside the palace today, she could guess something in her heart.As for matters outside the palace, Concubine Gu never mentioned a word, she just wanted to make the emperor happy, let him stay with her, and concentrate on dealing with that woman Xiao Shuxin.

As for the affairs outside the palace, of course someone else did it, so she doesn't need to worry about that.

Xiao Shuxin, when you wanted to put our mother and son to death, I don't know if you ever thought that we, mother and son, could come back alive!Gu Yuru who came back alive is no longer the ignorant and ignorant Concubine Gu, but now she is the favored concubine Gu in this palace.

From the day she entered this deep palace, she has no other choice, life or death, she only has these two ways, she doesn't care if she dies by herself, but let her take her son with her. She couldn't bear to die.From now on, she can only fight her way out. If others don't give their mother and son a job, she will let them live a good life and give a job to those

Those bitches who don't want them to live are all watching!

Not long after the emperor took people to Xianglian Garden to wait, Concubine Xiao Gui came back from outside the palace with the maids and eunuchs, and immediately came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine Xiao was afraid that the emperor would mind that so many officials went to Prince An's Mansion today. If this matter was brought up in the court to make a fuss, it would be very detrimental to her son, so Concubine Xiao had thought of this a long time ago. When I returned to the palace, I just wanted to coax the emperor to be happy, so that the emperor would not have other thoughts in his mind.

As long as the emperor is not unhappy, even if others make a fuss about this matter, there will be no loopholes.

But Concubine Xiao Gui probably forgot that she is not the only woman in this palace, she is so absent, and others take advantage of it.

child.

So as soon as Concubine Xiao came back to the palace, she learned that the emperor had gone to Concubine Gu, and she didn't even see the emperor's face. Concubine Xiao was so angry that her heart twisted, she took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Knowing that their mother was in a bad mood, the maids and eunuchs behind them followed their mother without making a sound, just walking with their heads down.

Today, Prince An's Mansion and Lu's Mansion held a banquet on the same day, and most of the officials in the court received two invitations, so these people went to Prince An's Mansion first, and then came to Lu's Mansion.At this moment, there are not many guests in the Lu residence, all the relatives and friends of the Lu family came, and there were no officials from the court.

Mrs. Lu had already expected this would be the case, so the banquet in the Lu Mansion was divided into two sessions. One was in the morning, mainly to receive relatives and friends at home, and the second session was arranged in the afternoon, mainly to receive court officials. of officials.

Marrying her daughter today, Mrs. Lu is both happy and reluctant. She is happy that her daughter has married into Prince An's Mansion, and she will be Princess An in the future. If Prince An can become the crown prince in the future, her daughter will be the crown prince, and may even be the princess. A woman who is the mother of the world.But in the same way, when the daughter who was raised by herself gets married, the mother is naturally very reluctant.

At this time, all the officials went to Prince An's Mansion, probably only Hu Xiang didn't go to Prince An's Mansion first, but came directly to Lu Mansion.

"Hu Xiang, you are here, please come inside, please come inside."

"Go and inform the master that Prime Minister Hu is here."

As soon as the housekeeper in charge of receiving guests in Lu's mansion saw Hu Xiang approaching, he hurriedly invited people in, and asked the servants who followed him to inform their master.

"Anyone else is here?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hurry up and lead the way."

"Yay, say, say"

As soon as the people below said that Hu Tingyun had come, Lu Xiang told the guest who was talking in front of him, and hurriedly went out to pick up Hu Tingyun, pulling his clothes while walking.As soon as he saw Hu Tingyun, Lu Xiang showed a happy smile on his face.

Lu Xiang stretched out his hand to grab Hu Tingyun's hand, pulled the person in, and said, "Hey, hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you are here."

"Hey, hey, let go, let me go, I will go by myself." Hu Tingyun patted Lu Chongbu's hand away, feeling very disgusted with this man.Who has such a good relationship with you?He also moved his hands and feet, so that people could see what he said.

Dare I lose face?

"You invite me to drink today, can I not come? I can't think of it. You will see me in court tomorrow, so you don't have to say that I am afraid to go to your Lu Mansion for a drink because of the gift money." Hu Tingyun said With a smile on his face, if you come to drink, you must prepare a gift, even if you don't come to drink, this gift still has to be delivered.

So thinking about it this way, the presents are all given away, wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't come to have a meal?

This wine must be eaten!

Although the two have been political enemies for many years in the court, they often quarreled because of disagreements, but this did not affect their ability to sit down and have a glass of wine and quarrel.

Anyway, for so many years, the two have been getting along in this way, and both of them have already gotten used to it.

If one day they stop arguing, they won't be used to it!

Today, Hu Tingyun didn't want to come to Lu's mansion to marry a daughter, but after thinking about it, he decided to make such a trip. This is why he was so late to go out and come to Lu's mansion.

"You, you, do you think I look like that kind of person? I don't say anything about you if you come here for free and don't give gift money." Lu Chongbu greeted Hu Tingyun in person, took him inside, and met two people on the way. All the prime ministers greeted them one after another.

"It's a slow walk. You're not in your 78s." Lu Xiang disliked Hu Tingyun's slow walk. They had already set up tables for dinner in their house. This person came at this time. They all thought that this person had gone to Prince An's Mansion.

But it's wrong when I think about it, their relationship is so good, if Hu Tingyun didn't come to my Lu Mansion first, would I be worthy of me, Lu Chongbu?

"You're an idiot!" Hu Tingyun was unhappy when he heard Lu Chongbu's words, and spat at the fat man again.

"Hey! I say you!" As soon as Lu Chongbu heard it, he knew that Hu Tingyun was scolding him. He glared at Hu Tingyun, but took it back, and said, "Well, I'm happy today. I told you what to do"

"Oh! Do I still need you to let me go?" Hu Tingyun muttered in his heart, the key is can you beat me in the quarrel?Say every time you can't win

let me.

But for the sake of your family having a happy event today, I won't hate you anymore!

"Let's go for a walk, let's have a drink. You see, you just came now, and I'm already setting up tables for dinner. You just came now, and the dishes are all cold." Lu Xiang also ordered to follow The servants around him went to take out the good wine that he had treasured for many years.

The following servant responded and went to get the wine.

Lu Chongbu turned back and said to Hu Tingyun: "Let's have a good drink today. You say, it's so difficult to invite you to drink again. Others don't have the opportunity to drink."

"I don't drink it unless it's good wine." Hu Xiang has no other hobbies, but he likes to drink good wine. If he can have two side dishes, it's just right.

But in this bar, not everyone can drink together. Whether you want to drink with Lu Chongbu depends on his mood that day.

Is the situation good or not?

If he was in a bad mood, he would definitely not drink with Lu Chongbu.

"I promise, I promise, I won't let you drink."

"That's about it."

The two of them were bickering as they walked, and they were no strangers to seeing two Xiangye quarreling.

If you want to say that the relationship between the two prime ministers is okay, I don’t see them quarreling every day; but if you want to say that their relationship is not good, but they are together every day.This time when Lu Xiang married a daughter, Hu Xiang came in person, and Lu Xiang also came out to welcome the people in.

Here, Lu Chongbu invited Hu Tingyun to the seat of the main table, and sat next to him. This seat is not available for ordinary people.

When everyone saw the two prime ministers sitting together, they felt that the two prime ministers were not at odds with each other as they said outside. They didn't see the two prime ministers talking and laughing, and they were sitting together drinking and chatting. How good is this relationship? .

After the banquet at King An's Mansion, the officials at Prince An's Mansion were transferred to Lu Mansion.

At this time, Hu Tingyun had already got into the donkey cart and headed back to his home. The driver in front of the cart was a strong servant from Hu's mansion who faced ordinary people.Sitting in the carriage, Hu Xiang was humming a little tune, which showed that he was quite happy with today's drink.

The strong servant sitting in front of the carriage heard the sound inside the carriage, and knew that their master was happy today and drank a lot of wine

This low-key and inconspicuous little donkey cart was walking on the road, and ordinary people would not guess that the prime minister of the current dynasty was sitting in it.

There is a small bell hanging around the neck of the small stove, and the bell around the neck jingles when walking.

Before the palace gate was closed, an inconspicuous little eunuch bumped into a guard and stuffed something into the guard's hand.

The two passed by each other and went their separate ways.

And not long after, this small note was sent to Prince Ming's Mansion.

"Master, news from the palace."

"give it to me."

Xie Yin took the note, unfolded it and glanced at it, half of the corner of his mouth curled up a little, it could be seen that the note should be good news.At least for them, it is good news.

After reading it, he put the note in the candle and lit it, and threw it into the copper basin.
