Chapter 224 Tianwei
Zhao Su walked out of the Ganqing Palace and headed towards the Cining Palace. When she saw a shaded place halfway, she stopped again and sat on the steps.
At this moment, it was a busy time for business. There were palace servants walking around in the harem. It can be seen that there were few people in the palace, which did not affect the royal proposition.
Looking back at the beginning of my arrival here, it was like walking on the wrong set. Every grass, tree, brick, tile, and even a person and animal was wary of it. No matter where I walked, I was walking on thin ice.
But now looking at these numerous palaces and a large group of "social animals" like her, it seems to have a little more intimacy.
The Queen Mother Lu, who slaughtered her the most, has always been the most cruel and has never hurt her substantially. Even if she locked her up for a while, she would still gain a few pounds of weight.
Of course, there are some eunuchs and maids in the palace who are very sensible, and some people will deliberately curry favor with her, but if they think about it carefully, everyone is also trying to survive. If they just cursing her, they can make their lives easier, and then she doesn't mind.
She didn't feel at ease as quickly as she thought she was from an ordinary employee to a top-level powerful man in a country, especially when someone asked for help, she always felt that she had to help justice even if she relied on her power, otherwise she would be virtuous and unworthy.
Of course, perhaps the emperor never knew her origin, so she could still try to pretend that she was the original owner. The uncertainty about her living conditions made her feel more worried. She didn't know if the emperor's words were out of "imperial arts" to stabilize her heart, but on the other hand, it seemed that she was afraid that she would not be able to change anything. Her power was too small, so it would be better to turn forward and let go of this worry first and live happily before talking about it.
"...I tell you, if you don't move faster, you won't be able to catch up with the delivery!"
The two little eunuchs walking next to them were urging each other, holding two corals in their hands. "The Empress Dowager respects Mr. Luo very much. If there is any mistake, we can't afford to take it!"
Zhao Su looked at them walking past her eyes, and then called out: "What are you doing?"
The little eunuchs looked anxious, but after seeing clearly that it was her, they still came back: "Guard Zhao, the Empress Dowager told the young men to get a pair of corals to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Luo."
"Mrs. Luo celebrates her birthday?
"It'll be in two days. The Queen Mother specially ordered to choose two of the best-quality plants."
Zhao Su said oh, and seeing that they were really anxious, she waved her hand and let them go.
Mrs. Luo will celebrate her birthday in two days, but she didn't hear Hua Xiangrong talk about it before?
...
The censor Zhong Lan bowed deeply to the emperor: "The emperor is already at the age of a wedding. Earlier, the emperor said that the state affairs were the priority not long after the throne. Now it is the third year of Qingxi, and the harem is still empty. On the Wanshou Festival, all the ministers submitted a request for the emperor's wedding. The emperor's land had not been given any advice. Today, the empress is risking his life to advise again. For the sake of my Daliang emperor's succession, I beg the emperor to select a lady and enter the harem!"
Zhong Lan spoke too hard, and his white beard trembled.
The emperor held a memorial and looked casually: "I understand."
"emperor--"
"My body is very good, and I can't collapse for the time being."
The emperor put down the memorial and stood up and entered the inner hall.
Zhong Lan stood in panic, not knowing whether to go in or out for a moment.
Sixi walked in and made a gesture of asking for it. Then he hurriedly stepped out.
It is rare for the emperor to show his anger. Whether before or after he ascended the throne, basically everyone has seen him who is serious and angrily. If he gets angry, he seems to have just turned his face a little more indifferent and his eyes are colder. He thought that the young emperor would definitely not reject the fact that he was not keen on the appointment of a concubine, but now Zhong Lan only feels that he was very wrong today.
After leaving the palace gate, he quickly walked towards the Censorate's Office.
However, several people in the yamen were waiting for tea. When they saw him coming back, they all stood up one after another: "How is it? What does the emperor say?"
Zhong Lan sighed heavily, pointed at them and said, "I was hurt by you!"
The faces of several people changed suddenly, and even the few who were sitting and not getting up could not help but get up: "How do you say this?"
Zhong Lan then told the whole story, and then said, "Although the emperor is not as kind as the late emperor, he is also humble and polite. He just now gave up the memorial and left me to leave the palace. You are really urging me to get into trouble. Now that I'm fine, I don't know how the emperor will blame me if he turns back?"
Everyone was shocked: "Where did this bad temper come from?"
After saying that, they looked at each other again: "This morning court is still very normal. How come Long Yan angered in such a short time? Could it be that something happened to the court?"
"Who knows?!"
Everyone talked about it. They said: "The Luo family has been in the limelight recently. Old Master Luo has always supported the late emperor and the empress dowager. Now they are strongly supportive of the emperor. Although their family is small, there are many disciples of the old master and have friendships with the nobles and elders in the court. If the Luo family becomes the queen, the emperor will be more bold in the administration. The limelight of the Flower Moon Club has not only not been suppressed, but also made them create a Maritime Secretary, and the treasury is still empty. Isn't it a nonsense to do this torture?!"
"Is the emperor's intention that he wants to establish the Luo family? Is it annoying that we interfere with the decision-making?"
"It's hard to say." Someone said, "The holy heart is unpredictable. Madam Luo's family is the best for both the emperor and the Luo family. What the emperor values now is whether the government is smooth, because if it is not smooth, the emperor's power will be affected, and he will not be happy that someone will obstruct it."
"If this is the case, then the Luo family will not succeed!"
Everyone nodded.
It was said that the yamen runners outside raised the tea, and a few people started a new round of discussions.
When Zhao Su went to the yamen to return home, the first thing he did was to find Hua Xiangrong.
Hua Xiangrong hadn't come back yet, so she sent someone to find her, and she came back with a jar of wine.
"You're drinking this wine?"
Smelling the strong aroma of wine, Zhao Su couldn't help but look over with admiration.
"I don't drink it, this is what I came from the hands of the Luo family."
"Luo Family?"
"Yes, didn't the girl ask me to see the Luo family? As a result, I found that their old lady was about to celebrate her birthday in a few days and the mansion was preparing. Seeing that there were not many things purchased, they should not be prepared to do it in large quantities. But the things are all good things. This wine is a rare wine from Cuihulou, which is something that most people can't decide!"
"I can't make sure you're here." Zhao Su said, pulling out the plug and smelling it. Sure enough, she stuffed the wine and said, "They don't have many family members and their relatives are not in the capital. If they don't do it in large quantities, then we can only invite a few close families, right? Has our family received an invitation?"
