Chapter 128 Having Lunch with the Emperor
After the princess finished speaking, seeing that Song Qingyue was not in a hurry to seize power, she felt a little relieved, but when she thought of the gift she presented to King Su just now, she felt very uncomfortable again.

After saying a few more words to tell the two daughter-in-laws to live in harmony with each other, the princess waved her hand to signal that they could leave.

After a while, Li Zhao will take Song Qingyue to the palace to kowtow to Grandpa Huang and Concubine Meng Shu respectively.

Entering the palace, the newly married couple came at an unlucky time, the emperor left Mr. Song and Mr. Wu in the Palace of Qinzheng to discuss matters.

The urgent report that was delivered to the palace in the middle of the night last night said that there was another vicious Japanese pirate massacre on the coast of Zhejiang Province. Not only did more than 130 ordinary households die, but a county magistrate and a county lieutenant also died.

This morning's Xiaochao meeting focused on this matter. At that time, the 24 important ministers standing in the hall, in addition to impeaching the Zhejiang General Soldier, just brought up the matter of the sea ban. The emperor was so angry that he pointed at the noses of the ministers and scolded them. If your brain is not working well, you should beg for bones as soon as possible, and return to your hometown as soon as possible.

Because Mr. Song did not speak during the court meeting, after the court meeting ended, the emperor left Mr. Song alone.At that time Master Song grabbed Wu Shangshu, and Wu Shangshu stayed with Master Song.

Facts have proved that Lord Song did not disappoint the emperor. He proposed to build an East China Sea navy along the coasts of Zhejiang and Jiangsu by referring to the Nanyang Navy established by King Su in Lingnan.This idea hit the emperor's heart, and Wu Shangshu was shocked by Mr. Song's aggressive attitude.

Jianshui division doesn't need money?

Wu Shangshu thought to himself that it is no wonder that Mr. Song is so loved by the emperor. He is really a master who is not afraid of trouble. Not only is he not afraid of trouble, he even took the initiative to take trouble on himself.

But the emperor firmly believed that as long as he had money, everything would be easy.

After confirming the determination to build the Donghai Navy, the next step is to find someone who can coordinate and arrange the matter. This is the matter of Mr. Wu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, the monarchs and ministers all had an answer in their hearts, but this matter was very sensitive, so the emperor didn't mention it, and Lord Song and Lord Wu didn't mention it, so Wu Shangshu had to bite the bullet and find someone else.

Maybe after looking around and finding no one, the emperor can agree to let that person lead the matter.

No, Mr. Wu mentioned three or four candidates in a row, and the emperor frowned and felt that it was inappropriate.

He asked someone to give seats to Mr. Song and Mr. Wu, which meant that he was not in a hurry, and if he couldn't figure it out, think about it slowly. In short, he didn't want to use that person for the time being.

The three people in the hall fell silent at the same time.

At this time, Eunuch Yin came in and changed the cup of hot tea for the emperor, and the little Eunuch Deng below also offered a cup of tea to Mr. Song and Mr. Wu.

Eunuch Yin took the opportunity to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Su and his concubine are here to visit you. You have been waiting in the side hall for half an hour."

"By the way, Zhao'er got married yesterday." The emperor seemed to have just remembered, and asked, "Which family does the crown prince belong to?"

Eunuch Yin smiled, glanced at Mr. Song, and replied respectfully: "Isn't she the daughter of Mr. Song?"

The emperor raised his hand and patted his forehead, looked at Mr. Song and said repeatedly: "Look at my memory! Yes, yes, yes, your third daughter, the one who played with mud when she was young!"

Master Song hurriedly bowed his hands to the emperor and said with a smile, "Your Majesty still remembers her playing with mud."

The emperor showed a gentle smile: "The papers for road construction all over the country have never been broken. How could I forget?"

Mr. Song climbed up the pole, and reminded again: "The self-heating lunch box used in the palace, and the safety miner's lamp were also thought up by that girl."

The emperor laughed, turned to Eunuch Yin and said, "Call in quickly." After a pause, he said, "It's almost time for lunch, isn't it? We're serving dinner in the side hall. Since we're here, let's have lunch together later." meal."

"The old slave will make arrangements now." Eunuch Yin bowed and retreated, and invited Li Zhao and Song Qingyue into the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhao pulled Song Qingyue forward a few steps and knelt down on the ground to salute the emperor with a smile on his face: "Grandfather, grandson brought his daughter-in-law to kowtow to you! , Shoubi Nanshan, long live long live long live!"

Song Qingyue followed Li Zhao and said clearly: "The grandson also kowtows to the emperor's grandfather, wishing the emperor's health, live a younger life!"

Huh?What kind of fresh congratulations is this?
But hearing the strangeness made people happy, the emperor laughed out loud again, and said repeatedly: "Get up, get up, hurry up, give your seat."

The emperor didn't know what was going on. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Zhao in recent years. The more he looked at this grandson, the happier he became.

The young man is tall and strong, with a handsome face, almost exactly the same as Su Wang when he was a child, but his temper is much stronger than his father, he is also smart, capable of writing and martial arts, I heard that the few people who blocked the door of the Song family yesterday None of the Jinshi and Juren stumped him. This incident made the emperor feel proud and proud.

look!Look at the grandson of his old Li family, how great!
The emperor scrutinized Li Zhao's complexion carefully and asked, "Did the wedding go well yesterday?"

Li Zhao smiled and nodded hastily: "Thanks to the blessing of Grandpa Huang, how can it not go well!"

The emperor glanced at the little daughter-in-law who was sitting with her head bowed, and asked Li Zhao, "How are you, are you happy?"

Li Zhao laughed foolishly, he was so stupid that he didn't see it, "I'm happy, my grandson is naturally happy!" As he said that, he quietly took the hand of the little daughter-in-law beside him, "Thank you, Grandpa, for your success."

Mr. Song lowered his head guiltily, thinking that the night before yesterday he was planning to help his daughter escape from marriage...

Song Qingyue felt even more guilty. She messed up the wedding banquet. Fortunately, Zhejiang sent an urgent report last night, and the emperor stopped paying attention to Li Zhao's marriage. Otherwise, the emperor would definitely not give him a good face today.

The emperor cheerfully said a few words telling the young couple to learn to accommodate each other and live in harmony in everything, and then said to Song Qingyue with a little seriousness: "Zhaoer likes you and doesn't want you to be wronged. He was the one who begged me at the beginning. It took me a long time before I reluctantly agreed. Otherwise, logically speaking, with your status as a concubine, you are not worthy of being Zhao'er's concubine."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law understands. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you for your love." Song Qingyue lowered her head and replied respectfully.

The emperor glanced at Li Zhao holding Song Qingyue's hand, and said, "But since you have become a concubine, I will not mention this again in the future. But you have to know yourself, you have to look like a concubine, and you have to be dignified." Virtuous, respectful and humble, you must not be arrogant because of favors. Take good care of Zhao'er for me."

The conversation made Song Qingyue feel aggrieved, what the hell is she not good enough for Li Zhao?It's really unreasonable!

The old man of the emperor is really not humble at all when talking about his grandson.

But she was under the eaves and had to bow her head. She quickly knelt down, touched her forehead to the ground, and said, "My daughter-in-law will remember your majesty's instruction."

The emperor hummed and eased his expression.

Eunuch Yin came in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the lunch is ready, shall we move to the side hall?"

The emperor nodded, looked at Master Song again, and said, "Song Aiqing, since we are in-laws, let's have a light meal together."

Master Song hurriedly said that he did not dare, and thanked him, while Master Wu said with great interest: "There is still something to do with the official department, so I will leave first."

The emperor nodded and didn't look at Wu Rukang again, but waved to Li Zhao, telling him to come closer, and asked what his father was doing recently, Li Zhao replied honestly: "Usually get up in the morning to practice boxing, and in the afternoon, you can read books and play chess. , or grow vegetables in the palace garden, and go for a walk with the dog after dinner, and the beauty Zhang in the mansion is due to give birth in two months, and Doctor Jiang said that it is very likely to be a son."

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "How old is this?"

Li Zhao replied, "If it's a younger brother, then it's the seventh brother. If it's a younger sister, it's the fifth younger sister."

The emperor snorted, "He doesn't delay anything."

When they arrived at the side hall, the emperor pulled Li Zhao to sit next to him, Song Qingyue and her father sat face to face, and the emperor said: "Today is considered a family banquet, so don't be cautious."

Master Song and Song Qingyue said yes at the same time.

Mr. Song is an ancient literati after all, this is the first time he had dinner with the emperor, he was a little excited, he used the bowls and chopsticks carefully, his face was full of red.

Li Zhao, on the other hand, was very relaxed, serving vegetables to the emperor's grandfather for a while, and Song Qingyue for a while. Mr. Song sat far away, and he couldn't reach him, so he said politely: "Mr. Song also eats, and the imperial chef is serving the table today special dish."

Here I picked up another chopsticks of chicken marrow and bamboo shoots for Song Qingyue, and said: "Yue'er, try this, it is made by pouring the bone marrow of black-bone chicken into the bamboo shoots, and then steaming it with chicken juice. The simmering navel is also warm. Make up, let's drink a bowl."

Simmering umbilical door is a hot and sour soup made from eel blood, fungus, tofu, chicken shreds, scallops, seasoned with vinegar and pepper, and finally thickened with cornstarch.

Song Qingyue looked at the emperor's face, carefully took the small bowl of soup that Li Zhao handed over, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The emperor had observed Song Qingyue for a long time, and saw that every time Li Zhao picked up food for her, the little girl would fidget and glance at herself.

He just saw how enthusiastically his precious grandson likes Xiao Nizi, and this girl is really good-looking, a little too beautiful, so he warned me a few words for fear that she would be spoiled and arrogant, is it too much? pass?
This girl is too timid, the emperor thought to himself, and followed Li Zhao's words: "Girl, eat more, your body is too thin."

Song Qingyue hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you for your concern, my daughter-in-law must eat more in the future."

After lunch, the emperor rewarded the young couple with a lot of things, and asked Li Zhao to take Song Qingyue to kowtow to Concubine Shu.

While Mr. Song was excited, he thought to himself that no matter how much the emperor doted on Li Zhao, his grandson, he would just gossip about his parents, and he didn't even mention a word about the construction of a navy in Zhejiang.

Tsk, King Su is really not welcome, take your time, eh.
