Glory all the way

Chapter 359 Embarrassment
"Brother, I have been going to court for three consecutive days. Shouldn't you go tomorrow?"

In the side hall of Zhaohe Hall, looking at the thick stacks of memorials on the imperial case, Du Yuan yelled at Du Xuan with some headaches.

Du Xuan spread his hands helplessly, "You were the one who responded readily that day, so did you respond impulsively in a fever?"

"I... I naturally thought it through."

Retorting stiffly, Du Yuan defended himself and said: "Eldest sister has been bored in the palace since she was born, and she has been exhausted physically and mentally due to being infected with Gu for more than a year. Now that we are here, naturally we should help her share a little bit and let her Take a good rest for a few days. Big Brother, you love Big Sister too, and that kind of love is only a little bit more, right?"

Du Xuan replied seriously: "Naturally, I feel sorry for her. However, this matter of government affairs cannot be sloppy."

After all, Du Xuan patted Du Yuan on the shoulder encouragingly with an expression of "Thank you for your hard work" and said, "I'm going back after the new year. You must stay here to help the elder sister and take care of the queen by the way." , So, now it's time to practice your hands, huh? I believe in you, you have this ability."

As he said that, Du Xuan stood up suddenly, and said with annoyed expression: "Oh no, the queen mother said that I would accompany her to have lunch, and then go to the Imperial Garden to see if the wintersweet is in bloom, but I actually forgot. You have to look at it quickly." Come on, I'm leaving first..."

Turning around and walking out quickly, Du Xuan warned with a concerned face when he was leaving the house: "Remember to eat lunch, we won't wait for you."

Du Yuan wanted to complain, but before he could speak, Du Xuan had already disappeared.

The few maidservants around her didn't dare to raise their heads, but their slightly trembling shoulders had leaked their uncontrollable sniggering.

With a wry smile on Du Yuan's face, he picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of water into the spout, then turned around and sat down behind the imperial case, and read the memorials one by one.

According to the method Yueji taught him, some urgent issues can be put aside first, and after reading it, go to Yufu Hall to discuss with her.

Most of them are just the actual situation reported by officials from all over the country. After reading it, you can understand it in your heart, and the two characters "read" in the imperial pen and Zhu Bian will be enough.

Looking at the long-winded memorials of those officials, who can clearly finish in three or five sentences, they insisted on wasting pen and ink to write thousands of words, which were smelly and long like an old lady's foot wrap, Du Yuan was full of depression.

But after thinking about it, Suerna has been watching these since he was eight or nine years old, and now he has watched them for more than ten years, day after day, year after year, and Du Yuan felt that he was a little hypocritical.

After thinking this through, the resentment in Du Yuan's heart gradually disappeared.

He also calmed down and thought about the problems that made him feel a little headache. He really couldn't figure it out. He either looked through the old case files or invited several ministers to discuss it. After half a month, although he still felt a headache It's about to burst, but Du Yuan has been able to grasp a little way.

In the afternoon of this day, after taking a nap, Du Yuan was planning to go to Yufu Hall to see Yue Ji, and when he went to play with Yan Geer for a while, the little servant outside the hall came in and said that Prince Accra asked to see her.

"Prince Accra?"

In the early morning, he didn't hear any important matters from him, but now he went to the palace alone to ask for an audience, Du Yuan was a little puzzled.

But in a blink of an eye, Du Yuan realized that Prince Accra is now You Zheluo's father in name.

"Xuan."

Du Yuan replied in a deep voice.

The next moment, Du Yuan saw Prince Accra walking in with his head held high.

This man looked like a man with no literary skills or military skills, his back was like a warrior, his swollen stomach indicated his extravagant life, and his face was pale and yellow with wine.

Even when he was in court every day, Prince Akela would make a fool of himself, and sometimes he could be seen dozing off.

Shouting with a smile, Du Yuan gave Accra a seat.

With some apprehension on his face, Prince Accra asked straight to the point: "Dare to ask King Youzhen, I don't know, have you heard the gossip in the capital these days?"

In the past when they lived in Xiaoyaoju, Du Xuan and Du Yuan were always aware of any disturbances in the street.

Since moving into the palace, the rules in the palace are strict, and the servants dare not talk about it. Outside matters are rarely mentioned, so Du Yuan naturally doesn't know about it.

Startled for a moment, Du Yuan asked suspiciously: "I don't know, what did you say?"

Akela's face was full of hesitation. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say anything and just looked at Du Yuan anxiously.

"A big man, what do you want to say, please be happy, what are you talking about?"

Du Yuan stared at Accra impatiently and said.

Accra twisted his body uneasily, and Fang hesitantly said: "There are rumors in the capital, and the people involved are all the queen mother and dogs."

Yue Ji and You Zheluo.

Du Yuan seemed to have guessed Accra's intention all at once.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Du Yuan looked at Akela and said, "What did you say?"

Trembling uncontrollably, Akela said in a low voice: "I don't know where the news leaked out, and it was spread in the capital that Youzhe Luo was the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother. At first, some people speculated that the child's father had already been disposed of." Newusha also brought up old news from many years ago, saying that Newusha is the Shahu who was the queen mother's childhood sweetheart."

Seeing that Du Yuan's expression remained unchanged, Akela continued: "These days, those rumors have become more and more unbearable, and there are people who swear that there are people in the capital who are the guests of the Queen Mother. They are very disrespectful to the Queen Mother. They say ..."

"enough……"

After uttering a voice to stop Accra from continuing to speak, Du Yuan looked at Accra with cold eyes, "This rumor probably has something to do with you, right?"

"Youzhen Wang Mingjian, I don't have the guts."

Accra stood up and knelt down, saying in fear.

"Ming Jian?"

With a sneer, Du Xuan asked: "You Zheluo is over five years old, and I have been in Loulan for over a year. Before that, why have I never heard of such a terrible rumor? It is worth waiting until Newusha dies." , You Zheluo has no hope of being established as the crown prince, so the rumors spread all over the world? You should tell me well, how should I learn from it?"

Accra didn't expect that Du Yuan would become suspicious of him, and for a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself.

Looking up again, Du Yuan returned to his calm appearance just now, "You Zheluo is your son, and there are such unbearable rumors in the capital now, you don't want to let the rumors prove self-defeating, but have the time to make progress." Gong Lai said these words to this king, Accra, do you think that this king is so calculating?"

"Akela dare not, please forgive me, King Youzhen..."

This was not the first time Accra had seen how powerful Du Yuan was. Without thinking too much, Accra kowtowed again to plead guilty.

When leaving the Hall of Zhaohe, Du Yuan Youyou's voice came from behind Akela, "Remember, Akela is your youngest son, don't implicate the Empress Dowager because of your family affairs, otherwise..."

In the second half of the sentence, before Du Yuan could continue, Accra's heart suddenly went cold.

At this moment, Accra's intestines are going to regret.

Hearing Newusha's words, Accra originally thought that if Yuzheluo was established as the crown prince, their family would be able to gain some fame. At that time, he would ascend to the sky in one step, and the glory and wealth would be within reach, and no one in the capital could do it. It was on his head.

But now, the existence of You Zheluo makes him the biggest joke in the capital of Loulan, and for himself, You Zheluo is a hot potato, and he doesn't know what to do.

The next day, Accra's concubine entered the palace and visited Yueji in Yufu Hall.

I don't know what the two of them said. After Princess Accra left the palace, Yue Ji sat alone in the bedroom for a long time, and when she appeared again, the exquisite makeup could not hide the sadness on her face.

Knowing the intention of Prince Accra's visit from Du Yuan, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo have already guessed why Yue Ji is like this.

Nodding to Du Xuan, Bai Yingluo stepped forward to help Yue Ji out of the main hall.

"Mother, the past is over. Today, our family can get together, it is God's favor for us, so we should cherish it even more. As for the other things, the eldest sister is fine, Xuan Lang Whether it's with Du Yuan or not, they will find a way to deal with it, so don't worry about it, okay?"

Bai Yingluo advised softly.

Suyerna was not around, and Bai Yingluo was gentle and gentle. These days, Yue Ji treated Bai Yingluo as affectionately as her own daughter.

Hearing what Bai Yingluo said, Yue Ji's tears fell down, "It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, my daughter and you, as well as the late emperor and the Loulan royal family, I wouldn't be ashamed because of this. Also, And that poor kid..."

Thinking of that cute and childlike smiling face, Yue Ji's heart felt as if a knife was being stabbed in pain.

"Sai Weng lost his horse, how can you know that it is not a blessing?"

Holding Yue Ji's cold hand to warm her, Bai Yingluo's comforting words became more gentle and careful, "Empress Mother, although his status is not very honorable, but with Eldest Sister and Du Yuan, they will take care of you in the future." Wouldn't he be much better than being born in the palace? Even if rumors are everywhere now, so what? Rumors stop at the wise, ignore those messy words, and one day, those rumors will disappear."

"Things in this world, if they fall into the hands of people with good intentions, will become their talk. Whether it's true or false, whether it's true or false, it doesn't matter whether it's true or rumors. If you talk about it for a long time, if no one pays attention to it, others won't bother anymore I spent all my time on it, after all, it was just to satisfy the momentary curiosity, when there are new topics and those things lose their freshness, no one will talk about them anymore.”

Bai Yingluo comforted Yue Ji with confidence.

Full of worries, Bai Yingluo's persuasion seemed to calm down. Yue Ji let out a few breaths, and sighed with relief: "Luo Niang, you are such a good boy. Xuan'er has you by my side. It’s his blessing, and it’s also my blessing.”

Bai Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled, "It's our blessing that we can still be together with each other in this life."
