capital girl

Chapter 81

In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, the emperor sat on a wicker chair and looked at the fishing rod in front of him.

King Yan came over and opened his mouth to speak, but the emperor made a silent gesture.

King Yan frowned, and sat quietly on the chair beside the emperor.

The emperor signaled that Yan Wang would also come to fish, and the fishing rod and fish food were already set up in front of Yan Wang.

The little eunuch immediately came over and put the fish food on the hook.

Yan Wang patiently threw the fishing rod out.

Time passed little by little, King Yan wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by the emperor.

The fish on the emperor's fishing rod finally took the bait.A small carp was thrown into the fishing basket next to it.

"Father, did you come to me just to fish?" King Yan asked.

"Yeah!" The emperor smiled at King Yan.

King Yan looked at the emperor with impatience in his eyes.

"You are too impatient. Fishing can kill your impatience. I hope you will often come here to fish too..." The emperor smiled and threw the pole out.

Time passed little by little.

It took two hours for this fight to end.For some unknown reason, King Yan only caught two inch-long Xiaoyu.

"Father, just say what you want, what are you doing, you're so boring." Seeing that the emperor was about to get up, King Yan complained irritably.

"I have been patiently fishing with you for two hours, and I have said everything I need to say. Why can't you listen to a word." The emperor stared at King Yan and said coldly.

King Yan pouted unconvinced and lowered his head.

"You still have to use force on that girl, and now the notebooks that refer to you are almost full of my books." The emperor said.

"Isn't it just a woman, what do these people do when they have nothing to do?" King Yan was really depressed.

"Why have nothing to do, it's what they want to find out about you." The emperor said and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

King Yan kept up with the emperor.

"Father," King Yan said in a sullen tone, "It's not that I can't live without this woman, the main reason is that I feel shameful. I am a dignified prince, but I am not as good as a poor scholar. I still don't believe it." .”

"A woman is just a plaything. You like her as a gift to her. How many times have I told you, don't work hard on it..." the emperor turned and looked at King Yan and said angrily.

"If you don't look for so many people who are willing to surrender to you, you have to look for the one who is not willing, why..."

"I can't even conquer a woman, what else can I say..." King Yan spoke eloquently.

emperor,……

They seem to have no way of convincing anyone.

"Their affairs are too eye-catching now, don't worry about other things for the time being, otherwise I will ground you." The emperor walked back exhausted.

For this son, he has put a lot of effort into it.Since returning to his side, he has been raising him carefully. He taught him how to study and participate in politics.

But apart from doing some superficial work, nothing has changed inside.

The emperor had a lot of things to deal with today, and he spent two hours trying to teach by example, but it didn't work, which made him feel very tired.

"Yulou, I've embroidered your wedding dress for you," Zhou Ying folded the wedding dress neatly and placed it in front of Li Yulou, "My embroidery is not very good..."

"Very well, thank you, Aying..." Li Yulou held his best friend's hand, full of gratitude.

"But, can you still get married on schedule? I heard that Meng Shiyu was assassinated. How is he?" Zhou Ying asked worriedly.

Wu Que was in the Ministry of Punishment, so Zhou Ying would naturally know about such a thing, and it was already not easy to bear to ask her at this time.

"It's okay, Shi Yu said that it would be good if I waited for him in my wedding dress that day." Li Yulou smiled all over his face, and there was a look of confidence in his smile.

"Yulou..." Zhou Ying's eyes were red, and she held Li Yulou's hand tightly.

"What's wrong?" Li Yulou asked as he held her in his arms.

"I just find it difficult to get married..." Zhou Ying choked up.

Li Yulou smiled and patted her slender shoulders, "Master Wu takes good care of you, what's the problem, wouldn't it be better if one more person took care of you..."

"I mean you!" Zhou Ying said.

Zhou Ying is very emotional, and Li Yulou understands her thoughts.

"Also, it's inconvenient for me to see you again after you're married. It's said that when a woman gets married, she must do it for a man, for a child, and for her husband's family. It's never for herself..." Zhou Ying said sadly.

"It's not like..." Li Yulou reassured.

Zhou Ying talked with Li Yulou for a long time before leaving.

Li Xu and Zhang Xiulan were also worried about Meng Shiyu's situation.Fortunately, Li Yulou assured them that the wedding would go ahead as usual.

So the Li family also began to make arrangements.

Zhang Xiulai kept saying that the yard is small, it's not good, and he doesn't know what kind of yard Li Yulou will live in.

When talking about this, it is inevitable that Li Xu will be blamed for being unreliable. He does not want to think that his daughter and son will have face when they marry in the future, and they can only see the places within the reach of their palms.

The atmosphere at home didn't become bad because of Zhang Xiulan's nagging, the atmosphere was filled with joy, and the feeling of the wedding became more and more intense.

This day Li Xu went to be on duty in the secretary prison, and his colleagues sent congratulatory blessings one after another.

Li Xu didn't understand why, and looked at his colleagues blankly.

"Master Li, this is the letter of appointment, congratulations..." The Secretary put a letter of appointment in front of Li Xu, "Master Li is now a writer."

Li Xu was surprised, he just came to the secretary prison not long ago, how could he be promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank.

The others are nothing, no matter whether it is the eighth rank or the seventh rank, it is nothing in the capital, the key is that the time is short.

"My lord, this is..." Li Xu looked at his immediate superior suspiciously.

"Really." The secretary nodded, "Go back, you married your daughter in the past few days, and I will give you a rest."

There was another burst of envious congratulations.

Li Xu took the appointment letter out of the government office, so he opened it to read it. It was really an appointment letter issued by the official department, with an official seal on it.

Although Li Xu was confused, he was still in a good mood, after all he was promoted.

Back home, Li Xu wanted to tell Zhang Xiulan the good news, but he didn't expect that there were some spectators around the door, and Li Yulou and Zhang Xiulan were kneeling on the ground to receive the order inside.

Li Yulou was actually ordered by His Majesty to be a seventh-rank wife.

Although there were such things in the previous dynasties, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the family members of officials of the third rank or above were named life wives, and they were invited into the palace when the empress or other empresses held palace banquets.

This is the first time for Seventh Grade Life Wife.

It means that Li Yulou will be registered in the Ministry of Rites. Although there is no salary, there are rewards and gifts during the New Year and festivals.

Li Xu walked in, and the father-in-law who passed the decree saw Li Xu, learned his identity, and congratulated him.

Li Xu hurriedly returned the gift, and wanted to give a casual gift, but the father-in-law also refused with a smile.

Seeing that the other party was about 40 years old, Li Xu thought that the other party should also be a relatively high-status servant in the palace, and he probably didn't like his casual gifts.

"What's going on here?" Li Xu sent off the father-in-law who delivered the decree, and after closing the courtyard door, he turned around and asked Zhang Xiulan.
