I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 10 Mrs. Jia's Worries
"Yesterday we had a briefing in the room, my lord, are you all right?"

Seeing Shentujia raised his head with a smile, and didn't even forget to say hello to himself, Liu Sheng's expression was still blank.

——This old man is clearly the one who was pulled out by Liu Sheng to 'answer doubts' during the court meeting yesterday!

"actually······"

"It's actually the prime minister..."

He murmured with dull eyes, but did not attract Shentujia's attention. Shentujia smiled and nodded to Liu Pengzu, and then with a faint smile, he bowed to Mrs. Jia who got off the carriage. .

After seeing the ceremony, even though he was used to the strong wind and waves, Shen Tujia couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Logically speaking, Shen Tujia, as a prime minister, ranks ten thousand stones, is the head of a hundred officials, and has the best etiquette;
Let alone Mrs. Jia's mere concubine, even if the empress came to visit, with Shen Tujia's identity and status, there was absolutely no reason to go out to greet her.

But the crux of the problem is precisely here: Mrs. Jia is a concubine...
Nowadays, although there is no such thing as 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', it is also an unspoken rule established by convention to keep a distance between courtiers and concubines in the harem.

After all, no matter how you say it, as a courtier, it is somewhat unreasonable to have a "very personal relationship" with the concubines in the harem.

But today, Mrs. Jia, who is a concubine in the harem, brought the two princes to the door in person to pay a visit to Shen Tujia, who is the prime minister, which was already somewhat taboo;
If Shen Tujia didn't pay attention, and even led Mrs. Jia into the gate of Xiang's mansion in a big way, then if this matter got out, there might be some troubles.

So Shentu Jia personally went out to greet him. In fact, it was not Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng, the two princes, who had so much face in Shentu Jia's place, or Mrs. Jia's introduction of concubines in the harem, who could make Shentu Jia, who is the prime minister, sincerely frightened .

——The only reason why Shen Tujia greeted him outside the door was because of Mrs. Jia's status, it was really inconvenient to enter the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mrs. Jia couldn't get in, so she could only come out by Shen Tujia, and met Mrs. Jia outside the gate of the prime minister's mansion in public, so as to avoid suspicion.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jia did not ignore this level. After getting off the carriage, she saluted Shentu Jia sincerely, but she didn't show the slightest sign of 'Don't you invite me in? 'intention of.

Seeing this, Shen Tujia also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up with a smile, and said without obtrusiveness: "Madam brought the two young masters to the door, and I should wait for you to sweep the couch; but as Madam, it is really inconvenient to enter the Prime Minister's residence."

"Your Majesty has sent someone to inform you about the young master's apprenticeship, Madam can rest assured."

"If Madam has something else to say, you might as well say it bluntly."

Seeing Shentujia expressing her thoughts calmly, Madam Jia's restrained expression disappeared a little, and she hurriedly gave Shentujia a blessing.

"The pillar of the prime minister's kingdom, the concubine is no more than a concubine in the harem, and dare not mention the word 'confession'."

"Today's visit to the door is only according to the etiquette of folks and students visiting teachers, and I came here specially to pay a visit..."

Speaking with a slightly embarrassed expression, Mrs. Jia couldn't help but turned sideways, and hurriedly touched her side with her elbow, still staring at Shentujia's youngest son Liu Sheng in a daze.

"what?"

"oh oh······"

The scattered thoughts were brought back to his eyes by his mother, and seeing his mother winking at him, Liu Sheng finally regained his composure, subconsciously raised the bacon in his hand, and put both hands in front of Shentujia.

"This ceremony of apprenticeship, I hope..."

"Uh······"

"Prime Minister, I hope the Prime Minister will accept it with a smile."

Seeing Liu Sheng's attitude, Shentujia still had a smile on his face, waved his hand naturally, and signaled the servant to come forward to accept the gift, and then cast his eyes again on the "restless" Mrs. Jia in front of her.

——Shen Tujia had no doubts about Mrs. Jia's statement that she "did not dare to confess".

Not to mention Mrs. Jia as a concubine in the harem, even Liu Qi, the emperor in Weiyang Palace, might not dare to mention the word "confession" in front of Shen Tujia.

But then again, Mrs. Jia was able to come to the door with her two sons in person. Although she said she would not dare to confess, it was obviously impossible to say that she had nothing to say to Shen Tujia.

Thinking of this, Shentujia couldn't help but soften his complexion, and looked at Mrs. Jia with a touch of peace in his eyes.

"Young master's name of benevolence and filial piety, even a minister, has already been heard like thunder."

"In virtue, I ask myself that there is nothing I can teach my son;"

"I don't know Madam, what do you want me to teach you, Young Master?"

Hearing this question, Mrs. Jia turned sideways quickly, pushed her two sons forward one by one, and looked at Shen Tujia with the same humbleness and pleading as ordinary people.

"The pillar of the prime minister's country is busy with state affairs all day long, even if he doesn't teach, the concubine will definitely not dare to blame the prime minister..."

Immediately putting on this low posture, Mrs. Jia looked at her two sons again, a little softness finally appeared between her brows.

"If the prime minister is free, he is willing to teach something. The concubine only asks the prime minister to teach the two sons the way of loyalty and success..."

Carefully said these words, before Shentujia could answer, Madam Jia was blessed again.

"Concubine, thank you Prime Minister Dayi..."

Seeing Mrs. Jia's concubine's body, but in front of her with such a groveling posture, Shen Tujia's impression of Mrs. Jia couldn't help but label her as 'duty' and 'honest'.

But soon, Shen Tujia noticed the strangeness in Mrs. Jia's words, and subconsciously frowned.

"Second son?"

He raised his eyebrows suspiciously, turned sideways again, looked back and forth between Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu brothers, Shentu Jia finally turned around, and looked at Mrs. Jia full of doubts.

"Your Majesty sent people, only saying that Mr. Sheng will come to apprentice."

"how······?"

Hearing Shentu Jia's words, Mrs. Jia couldn't help but panic again, and subconsciously wanted to deny it;
But remembering the worries in her heart, Madam Jia finally plucked up her courage and nodded slowly to Shen Tujia.

"Xiao Jiu's apprenticeship is His Majesty's will; Xiao Qi's company is the concubine's own decision."

After saying that, Mrs. Jia raised her head worriedly, looking at Shen Tujia, she couldn't help but beseeching!
Seeing Mrs. Jia's attitude, Shen Tujia couldn't help but sink, and lowered his head to think with a complicated expression.

After a long time, Shentu Jia finally regained his composure, shook his head and let out a long sigh, then nodded solemnly to Mrs. Jia.

"Madam's worry, I can understand."

"Madam can think so thoughtfully, minister, I admire..."

As he spoke, Shentu Jiaman straightened up solemnly, and bowed his hands solemnly to Mrs. Jia.

Standing up straight, and looking at the two brothers Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng beside him, Shentujia smiled.

"The prime minister's mansion is busy today, Madam can take the two young masters back to the palace first."

"Starting tomorrow, the two young masters can go directly to the minister's mansion every afternoon..."
