Chapter 21

After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the sedan chair was still waiting outside, before Shen Mengqi got on the sedan chair, Lin Jihan held her hand beside her, "Madam, how about walking with me for a while?"

Shen Mengqi said to the eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair: "You all step back, my princess and the prince will take a walk."

Walking on the long palace road, Lin Jihan put his hands behind his back and said, "Mrs. Harding just said something nice for this king."

"Husband and wife are one, as it should be."

Lin Jihan stood in front of Shen Mengqi and said, "This case of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Madam, do you hope that the king will bring the murderer to justice, or do you condone the murderer?"

Shen Mengqi stood still, she looked straight at Lin Jihan and said, "My lord asked the wrong person, the one who is assisting you is Cui Cishan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Lin Jihan suddenly leaned forward and Shen Mengqi was almost face to face, "I heard that when a person is extremely guilty, he will stare at the other person without turning his head."

Shen Mengqi didn't look sideways, she still stared straight at him and said, "Never."

"Heh~ It seems that you can't believe everything you hear."

Lin Jihan put his arms around Shen Mengqi's waist and brought her into his arms, "It seems that this king really didn't love Madam enough before. In the future, this king will 'love' you a lot. It happened that the bed in Lanyue Pavilion collapsed. You will move to this king's Juxing Pavilion every day, and let's improve the relationship between husband and wife."

"Hey! Who is so shameless in broad daylight?"

Suddenly a dignified voice came from behind Lin Jihan and Shen Mengqi, Lin Jihan immediately let go of Shen Mengqi and stood aside.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that the current imperial concubine was sitting on the steps, being carried by four eunuchs to this side.

"Who am I? It turns out to be the Prince Regent and Princess Anshun."

After the sedan chair stopped, the noble concubine walked towards them slowly and said: "It is said that the regent and His Royal Highness the princess seem to be in harmony, but today's look is all groundless, and you can't wait to go back to the palace to show affection in the palace? "

Shen Mengqi didn't answer but just bowed slightly, "See the imperial concubine."

Lin Jihan followed suit and said, "Join the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine took Shen Mengqi's hand and said: "They are all my own children, what do you want those vain gifts for?"

Shen Mengqi withdrew her hand from the imperial concubine without a trace, obviously not getting close to her, the imperial concubine's eyes darkened, but her mouth was still polite.

"On weekdays, the emperor and the empress dowager urged you three times to invite you to come back. What kind of wind is blowing today that can blow you and the regent into the palace?"

Shen Mengqi's vermilion lips were tightly closed, as if she didn't want to talk to her.Lin Jihan was not a talkative person in front of outsiders, and since the imperial concubine was not asking him, he was even less willing to talk to him.

The atmosphere cooled down for a while.

At this time, Wang Peng, the eunuch next to the emperor, came over and said in a hurry: "So you are here, Your Highness, and it is easy for this old slave to find you."

Looking at the noble concubine at the side, he bowed and said: "Oh, the noble concubine is also here, the old slave sees the noble concubine."

The imperial concubine rushed to ask: "What is the prince looking for His Highness the princess?"

Wang Peng bent down and said: "It's not the old slave, it's the emperor looking for Her Highness the princess, saying that he has something to explain."

"Yo! Then you can't delay this, you guys go quickly."

After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine turned to Lin Jihan and said, "Every time the emperor sees the princess, he has to chat for a long time, and he doesn't know what's interesting to talk about between their nephews. Standing is standing, the prince might as well sit in this palace." sit?"

"Then bother the imperial concubine."

Shen Mengqi followed Wang Peng into the imperial study and saw a birdcage that reached to the roof beside the imperial table. The cage was full of colorful birds, and the emperor, who was supposed to approve the memorial, was teasing with a box of bird food. The birds inside.

Seeing Shen Mengqi come in, the starling in the cage yelled, "Kneel down, kneel down, say hello!"

"See Uncle Huang."

The emperor put the bird food aside, walked to Shen Mengqi's side, helped Shen Mengqi up and said, "Mengqi is here, get up quickly."

Shen Mengqi looked over the emperor and looked at the bird cage leading to the roof behind him and said: "Uncle emperor, why did you put this bird cage in the imperial study? The ministers in the court saw it, so I should say that you have lost your mind .”

"It's okay, I asked the Grand Tutor, this imperial study is too deserted, it will make the ministers nervous, with this bird, they can relax more, and I am tired when I approve the papers, You can also see that the bird is slowing down."

"Uncle Huang is willing to approve the papers?"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, "Of course, now that you're married and out of the palace, there's no one to approve the papers for me. I can't expect those sons who only know how to play with birds to be worse than my sons."

Looking at Shen Mengqi's clear eyes, the emperor grabbed Shen Mengqi's hand and pushed her on a chair beside him, saying: "The most important thing right now is the matter of the Ministry of Officials. The Ministry of Officials has the right to appoint and dismiss officials from all over the world. The candidates for Shangshu can’t be sloppy, Mengqi, who do you think is better?”

Recalling the secret letter she saw in the restaurant, Shen Mengqi's eyes flickered slightly, "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials really has a great responsibility, and Meng Qi can't make a decision for a while, but at the end of the day, you can let the Prime Minister concurrently serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." , Wait until the emperor brothers have learned something, and let them take charge."

"When they become talents, you might as well hope that I will give birth to a royal brother for you when I grow old and strong."

The emperor has a clear understanding of these children in his family.

"But you did mention me, Meng Qi, you can temporarily take on the responsibility of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Shen Mengqi stood up immediately in fright, "What nonsense is Uncle Huang talking about? How can there be a woman as an official?"

"You are not a woman, you are a princess, the first princess of Tianyuan Kingdom, you have been taught by your mother and Huang Ama since childhood, governing the government is no problem, why can't you?"

"That's Meng Qi's willingness, but the ministers in the court are also unwilling, Uncle Huang."

"Hey~ Don't worry, with your king regent here, who dares to say anything. That's it, I will draw up the decree now. When you have an official title, you will have a word with the regent. In the future You husband and wife can also get close."

Shen Mengqi thought about the secret letter, but in the end she didn't say much.At present, the situation is full of wind and rain, and only by entering the game can the situation be stabilized.

After Lin Jihan followed the imperial concubine to Guangxiu Palace and sat down, the imperial concubine led a very beautiful girl in after a while.

"My lord, this is my mother's child, named Xiu'er."

Lin Ji stared coldly at the girl named Xiu'er and asked, "What's the meaning of this, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine?"

"It's Xiu'er, a girl who has been in love with you for a long time. It just so happened that I came to play here in the past few days, and I happened to see you in the palace again. Don't you just think it's fate, so why don't you make friends?"

Lin Ji smiled coldly: "Recently, there are so many things related to this king."
