Chapter 823 Shocked (Second Update)
The emperor looked at him dissatisfied, and asked again: "I heard that the Jiangnan Chen family opened a shop in Beijing, what do you have to say?"

Jiangnan Chen family?Zuo is just a rich man with a bit of toughness.

A hint of contempt flashed across Zhao Hongsheng's heart, and his tone was somewhat disapproving: "Returning to my father, in previous years, the Chen family of Jiangnan won the championship in the imperial business competition. In the name of Shang, it is inevitable that you will feel angry. But please rest assured, Father, I will definitely not let them make trouble."

Hearing the second son's open-mouthed resentment, the emperor was very dissatisfied, and he couldn't help beating: "The most important thing is fairness and justice in the imperial business competition. If they are really inferior to others, they won't be like this. Don't make things difficult for them too much." , although they are in the south of the Yangtze River, but the south of the Yangtze River is a rich and prosperous place, so there must be no radical actions, remember?"

When talking to Zhao Hongsheng, the emperor's tone was obviously a bit lower than when talking to Zhao Hongde. Zhao Hongsheng pursed his lips and responded, but he gave a slight sneer in his heart.

His own son knew it best, the emperor secretly shook his head.At this moment, the eunuch outside had come to report, saying that Xia Zheng had come.

Thinking of this nephew who gave him a headache and liked him, the emperor couldn't sit still, and couldn't help asking: "He came alone?"

The eunuch replied with his usual high-pitched voice without any ups and downs: "Return to Your Majesty, Second Young Master Xia has brought a woman here."

woman?

Hearing these two words, everyone in the room couldn't help being surprised and amazed.Although the Imperial Study Room was only a place where the emperor and ministers dealt with some political affairs, most of the women were not allowed to come in and out at will. At most, the queen and a few favored concubines could come, but they had to wait for the emperor to finish handling the political affairs before they could enter.As the saying goes, the harem must not interfere in politics, because they are afraid that the concubines in the harem will interfere with the government and cause disaster.

But today, Xia Zheng actually brought a woman here when the emperor was dealing with government affairs. What was he doing?
The thoughts of the other ministers in the room changed. Could it be that the second son of the Xia family was looking for beauties for the emperor when he was away all the year round?

However, the third prince Zhao Hongde and Ma Junying moved their bodies with some anticipation. If it wasn't for the fact that they were not allowed to walk around in front of the holy driver, they might have to go out to greet them.

As for the old fox Su Zhe, there is no need to guess, remembering his decisive words when the second son went to the general's mansion to find Xia Zheng, Su Zhe wished he could kill the woman Xia Zheng brought!
"Woman?" The emperor pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, "I'm discussing important matters, so let's ask that woman to wait outside first."

The eunuch's tone finally changed a little this time, and he said helplessly: "Return to Your Majesty, Second Young Master Xia said that if His Majesty does not allow the woman to face the saint, then he will take her out of the palace to eat the drunken shrimp by the riverside and lake." gone."

After finishing speaking, the eunuch wanted to slap himself, what did the emperor say about drunken shrimp?But the bully said that if he didn't tell the truth, he would burn his lifeblood hidden in the palace.

That was the lifeblood he cut off when he entered the palace when he was young, and he thought that when he died, he would get his lifeblood back and be buried with him.Didn't some people say that if you can't leave completely in this life, you can only be reborn as a beast in the next life?He failed to be a normal man in this life, and he doesn't want to be a beast in his next life.

After listening to the eunuch's words, the emperor couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, only this little thing dared to say such words to him!
The second prince, Zhao Hongsheng, looked at the emperor very vigilantly, not giving up any chance to suppress Xia Zheng: "Father, Xia Zheng is too arrogant. The Imperial Study Room is an important place for military aircraft, how can we let an irrelevant woman do whatever he wants?" In and out? This is a provocation to your father!"

As for who that woman was, Zhao Hongsheng had already guessed it at this time, but he was very puzzled, wasn't he going to discuss movable type printing today?This Xia Zheng actually brought the little village girl here. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to ask the emperor to marry him?Thinking of the marriage, Zhao Hongsheng immediately regretted what he said just now. If he really came to ask for the marriage, wouldn't it make Su Qiuyu come out?Then wouldn't he have a greater chance of wooing Prime Minister Su?
Zhao Hongsheng was obviously not the only one who thought this way, even Su Zhe understood that it was said that Xia Zheng had proposed the printing of movable type, and today the emperor called them all here to reward them for meritorious service.I heard that the woman Xia Zheng likes is not of high birth, could it be that Xia Zheng is planning to take this opportunity to ask the emperor to marry him?
Thinking of this, Su Zhe's heart skipped a beat. He must not let Xia Zheng ask for the decree to give him a marriage. If Qiu Yu finds out, wouldn't he be sick even more?

"Your Majesty, the old minister also feels that what the Second Prince said is true. You must not let a woman enter and leave the imperial study at will, let alone let her get involved in political affairs. This is unreasonable, Your Majesty!"

The prime minister spoke, and several other officials naturally followed suit.

The emperor's eyelids moved, and he felt a little gloating in his heart. It wasn't he who refused to let Lin Yuan in this time, but these people who refused to let him in. If you want to blame, let's blame these old stubborn people!
Just as he was gloating, Xia Zheng's voice rang out at the door. Although he hadn't seen him for a year, he was still so cynical and didn't care about anything.

"Who said that the woman I brought came in and out of the imperial study room at will? I can tell you, without this person I brought, you would not be able to discuss today's political affairs."

Following this mighty voice, Xia Zheng had already walked to the center of the room, and everyone turned their heads, their eyes seemed to be blinked by some light in a daze.

Xia Zheng was wearing a crescent white robe, with two emerald jade pendants pinned to his waist, a jade crown on his head, and a wicked smirk on his cheek. If the emperor could have such a smile in front of the emperor, the entire capital would be afraid. There is only Xia Zheng, the little overlord of the General's Mansion.

The woman on Xia Zheng's right hand is wearing a long dress made of streamer brocade unique to the Jiangnan Chen family. The goose yellow dress brings out her brighter and more beautiful appearance, with a bit of pretty but Without losing dignity.Especially the faint smile on her face and those quiet eyes like ancient wells, there is no trace of panic at all.

While everyone was amazed, they were all amazed. Is it really the first time for this woman to enter the palace to face the saint?This calmness and demeanor are not something ordinary women can possess.

If it is said that the second prince Zhao Hongsheng was the most surprised, he had met Lin Yuan before, but every time he met, it seemed that this woman gave him an unprecedented shock. Can subvert the impression she left in his heart.

For the first time, Zhao Hongsheng felt that this little village girl of ordinary background seemed more suitable to be his imperial concubine than Su Qiuyu, and would be more beneficial to his path to greatness.
