Chapter 804
Even if Xi Wu didn't say anything, Lu Xiaoning would have discovered that after they entered the city, there were two officers and soldiers who followed quietly behind them. Needless to say, someone must have reported the news by now.

I heard that Brother Mingcheng is now in charge of the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoning was not sure whether it was the emperor's order or Zhao Yincheng asked his elder brother to keep an eye on her whereabouts.

"Leave them alone, let's go to the eldest princess's mansion first." Lu Xiaoning said.

Huangfu Shaoye was convening several ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study, when Eunuch Du saw a servant outside winking at him, he quietly left.

"What's the matter?" Eunuch Du frowned and asked.

The servant whispered in his ear, and Eunuch Du's brows and eyes immediately relaxed, his brows brimming with joy, and he hurried back to report,
Because there were still ministers around, Eunuch Du also whispered in the emperor's ear.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ningxi is back, and she just entered the city."

Huangfu Shaoye didn't hear clearly but still couldn't believe it: "What did you just say? Say it again."

Eunuch Du coughed twice, cleared his throat, and whispered in the emperor's ear again: "Your Majesty, Princess Ningxi is back."

Huangfu Shaoye was stunned for a moment, and slowly raised a barely detectable smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to the ministers: "This is the end of today's discussion, Zhao Aiqing, Gu Aiqing, please stay here for a while."

The ministers are at a loss, why don't they discuss it?It's just started, and they've already written their drafts, and they haven't said anything yet.

But the emperor backed down, so everyone had no choice but to back down.

Before leaving, he did not forget to cast an envious glance at Zhao Yincheng. This Zhao Yincheng is now a veritable favorite of the emperor. He had a deep friendship with the emperor. Several new policies on salt affairs allowed him to quickly step into the court and stand firm Heel, Tai'an's fair bidding fully filled the treasury with more than 160 million taels of silver, which solved the urgent need of the emperor.

The fair bidding in Tai'an was just a test of the water. When the new policy is implemented across the country, it is conceivable that the salt service alone will benefit the court a lot.

Zhao Yincheng became a great hero, a rising star in the political circle.

Hey, after all, he was born as a businessman, and his ability to raise money is much better than those scholars.

Everyone is envious, but no one dares to disobey. His political achievements are there.

Zhao Yincheng and Gu Shifeng knew well that the emperor only left them two, it should be for private affairs, and seeing the gentleness of the emperor's brows, sweeping away the cold and gloomy past, what else could make the emperor raise his eyebrows?Unless Lu Xiaoning came back.

"Your Majesty, did something serious happen?" Zhao Yincheng cooperated with the acting and asked intentionally, just to make the Emperor secretly happy for a while.

The emperor smiled: "It's not a big deal."

Zhao Yincheng and Gu Shifeng secretly scorned in their hearts, and even pretended to be happy like this.

"That... what is it?" Gu Shifeng cooperated knowingly.

It's hard to be a courtier. When the emperor wants you to be smart, you have to have ten brains. When he wants you to be stupid, you have to pretend to be confused.

"Guess?" Huangfu Shaoye said in a good mood.

Uh……

It seems that the emperor's mood is not generally good, and he is interested in playing the guessing game.

Zhao Yincheng frowned and thought: "Could it be that there is good news coming from the front?"

Xirong has been very dishonest recently. Ever since he discovered that Zhou was consolidating his defense, he has been making small moves. The two armies have confronted several times, with half and half winning.

Huangfu Shaoye shook his head.

Gu Shifeng said: "Could it be that Jiangnan's grain and taxes are all in order?"

Jiangnan's grain tax has not been collected for many years. There are always various reasons. This year's tax reduction of [-]% is still the same.

"No and no." Huangfu Shaoye said, thinking, why are these two people so stupid?

He even mentioned a few things that made the emperor feel bad, but the emperor didn't seem to have a headache at all.

Huangfu Shaoye said: "The two of you are quick to think about important things, why are you so stupid now? Lu Xiaoning is back."

Zhao Yincheng and Gu Shifeng complained in their hearts, okay, Lu Xiaoning is the most important thing, everything else is just floating clouds.

Zhao Yin set up an expression of surprise: "Your Majesty, is it true? Lu Xiaoning is really back?"

Huangfu Shaoye glanced at him sideways: "I just got the news."

"That's great, I'm back. I've been restless these days. I can't eat and I can't sleep at night. I'm afraid that if she breaks her promise, then I will be guilty of deceiving the emperor." Zhao Yincheng was very happy, Three points said aggrievedly.

This grievance was not adulterated at all, he failed to bring Lu Xiaoning back, and was reprimanded by the emperor, even the credit for taking this trip out on business was greatly reduced.

Also complained by Siyao.

Gu Shifeng took the opportunity to stab him with a knife: "Lu Xiaoning has always been a person who keeps his word, so why are you so worried?"

Zhao Yincheng really wanted to kick Gu Shifeng out, but if the matter didn't fall on you, it would be easy for you to say.

"Okay, since she's back, Yincheng."

"The minister is here."

"You asked Siyao to spend more time with her these few days, do you understand?"

Zhao Yincheng was tongue-tied, what does he know?

The emperor looked at him quietly.

Zhao Yincheng closed his mouth, well, he understands, the emperor just asked him and Siyao to be a peacemaker, first to check Lu Xiaoning's tone.

Really, is it still so troublesome?All the crux lies with you, the emperor. You were the one who made Lu Xiaoning resign from the imperial hospital, and you drove him away. You should admit your mistakes and please yourself, and you have to do it yourself.As long as you stand in front of Lu Xiaoning and express your heart, won't the rain be over?

Huangfu Shaoye actually thought about it too, he wished he could see Lu Xiaoning right away, Zhao Yincheng came back and told him that Lu Xiaoning didn't come to join in the fun, but went out to relax in a bad mood, just happened to hear about the auction conference, she was concerned about government affairs, So I wanted to see if the reform of the salt affairs was effective. Isn't caring about the government the same as caring about him?

Zhao Yincheng also said that Lu Xiaoning was very protective of him, saying that he was not good at all, and immediately glared at him with big black eyes.

This made Huangfu Shaoye miss Lu Xiaoning even more.

Now she is finally back, but he is worried that Zhao Yincheng said those words to make him happy, so he dare not meet Lu Xiaoning rashly, so he asked Siyao to check Lu Xiaoning's tone first, some things are still spoken by women to women More convenient.

"Your Majesty, do you want your ministers to go too?" Gu Shifeng flattered him.

Huangfu Shaoye said: "Let Siyao go see her first."

In the second half of the sentence, he didn't have the nerve to say, if Siyao can't handle Lu Xiaoning, the two of you will do it again.

Are you a little cowardly?
It seems that there is a little bit, and that is also because I care too much.

Huangfu Shaoye has accepted the lesson this time, even if he gets angry with her in the future, he will never say the harsh words "I don't want to see you again".Speaking harshly, not only pierced her heart, but also his own heart, and it seemed that he was more hurt.
