The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 247 The Emperor’s Visit (1)
"See the emperor, see the prince."

The emperor suddenly appeared in the front hall of the Mu Mansion, and everyone's complexions couldn't help changing. Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan were so nervous that their hands were sweating. They didn't expect the emperor to appear suddenly, and their hearts kept beating. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly looked at each other With a glance, I know that Yan Hua's affairs cannot be hidden.

The emperor didn't pay attention to the people in front of him, but bypassed them, walked into the hall with big strides, and looked at the low-key and luxurious decoration in the hall.

Nodded, smiling and appreciating: "The living room in Mu's Mansion is very well furnished, from simplicity to simplicity, from simplicity to elegance, from elegance to nobility, and from nobility to honor, it has the style of Mrs. Zhongshuling and Mrs. Zhongshuling. Glancing at Mu Zhaoming next to him, he was full of youth, low-key and introverted.

"I like it very much!"

Mu Zhaoming was not hypocritical and modest, and said flatly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

Prime Minister Yan's thoughts have already turned a thousand times, and he used to underestimate this young Mr. Zhongshuling who has just arrived.

Not long after he took office, he was highly valued by the emperor. No matter how he behaves or how he handles affairs, not only can no one find any faults, but it also suits the emperor's taste very well.

He secretly blamed himself for being too careless before, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in the court, so he still has to be careful in the future.

The emperor looked back at the people kneeling on the ground, and said kindly: "I'm here for a private visit, so don't be too formal, just get up." After the crowd quickly thanked them, they dared to get up.

Looking into the crowd, his brows were slightly frowned, and there was a trace of displeasure in his amiable voice: "Why don't you see Mrs. Zhongshu Ling?" Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to say a word.

Mrs. Yan secretly glanced at Zhang Zheng who was standing next to him, who was standing by the side with a pleasing look. Naturally, it was difficult for him to answer the matter of the inner house. Uncle Feng couldn't answer the emperor's words even if he was a servant. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "Return Your Majesty, according to the Housekeeper Feng of the Mu Mansion, Mrs. Zhongshu Ling has not woken up yet."

The corners of Xiao Yu's lips curled up slightly, and there was an imperceptible playfulness in her eyes.

Prime Minister Yan frowned involuntarily, but his tense heart relaxed slightly. He looked at Mu Zhaoming next to him. It's really interesting to have such a wife.

Mu Zhaoming's face was indifferent, with a rather disapproving expression, as if he had become accustomed to it, and even ignored the emperor's presence, as if it was natural for him to be flirtatious.

Answering the emperor's words, Mrs. Yan has her own selfish intentions. When she suddenly heard the emperor's arrival, she was worried that Yan Hua's affairs would not be concealed. Then she suddenly thought that Bo Qing hadn't woken up yet, so she couldn't help but move. The hostess is still sleeping, if the emperor and the prince know, what kind of disturbance will be caused, maybe this will just dilute the emperor's attention to them and Yan Hua.

After hearing her answer, sure enough, the emperor's surprised voice sounded immediately: "I haven't woken up yet!"

This girl really surprised him, the calm and kind expression he had maintained for many years was instantly torn apart by her.

Except for Mu Zhaoming and Xiao Yu, those who didn't know the situation couldn't help gasping, and the expressions of Mrs. Yan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also became very exciting.

After the emperor came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. In the past, Bo Qing was smart, bold, cautious, calm, with a touch of aura, that kind of image of innate elegance that was superior to others, instantly disappeared in his heart, and at the same time, he did not ignore other things. expression.

Looking at the wonderful expressions of Mrs. Yan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a hint of imperceptible sarcasm appeared on her lips: "It turns out that Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Prime Minister were also there, but I didn't notice. The prime minister can also feel at ease in the court."

Prime Minister Yan couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts for a while, especially the word "Zi Xiao", which seemed to be ironic, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, as a minister of the emperor, I should in this way."

When he raised his head, he saw the corners of Mu Zhaoming's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the emperor sniff his nose and sighed: "It smells so good, what is this?"

A calm female voice floated in from outside the door: "Back to the emperor, this is the tea specially made by the concubine for the emperor. If the emperor thinks this cup of tea is still good for drinking, I hope the emperor will see it for the sake of this cup of tea and forgive the minister." The concubine is not guilty of going out to greet her in person."

When Mrs. Yan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard this voice, they couldn't help but feel tighter, shouldn't they be sleeping?How could it appear so quickly, I couldn't help but glance at Feng Bo quickly.

The latter stood beside him as if nothing had happened, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Looking up at the cloud, the woman who appeared in the gate with a smile on her face was either fickle or who.

It's just that today she didn't wear the imperial clothes, nor did she wear a cloak, she just dressed like a regular visitor at home, her delicate and graceful figure like a willow was displayed in front of everyone without reservation.

The people present gasped again, and Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan couldn't help but said in their hearts: "Sure enough, it's a beauty that can overwhelm the country and the city. She is so charming at such a young age. If she grows older, she will bring disaster to the world. "What a lively vixen.

Mu Zhaoming couldn't help squinting his eyes, took off the cloak on his body, put it on Baoqing, tied the clothes and said, "Why don't you put on more clothes and come out, be careful of catching cold." There was a touch of banter, and even the emperor's eyes were full of playfulness.

Thin feelings seemed to be used to it, as if nothing had happened, he stepped forward to meet the ceremony, and the emperor gave a meaningful look at Mrs. Yan next to him.

Madam Yan lowered her head involuntarily, only to hear the emperor's generous laughter: "I want to spare you with a cup of tea, but I want to see how good you are at making tea. If you are good, I will forgive you." ; If it is not good, the punishment will be doubled."

"Yes."

He responded softly, clapped his hands tenderly, and immediately four maids came in with trays carrying several cups of tea.

There was only one cup of tea in the girl's tray at the front, and Boqing delivered the tea to the emperor with her own hands: "Your Majesty, try it, can you taste the water from the flower that made the tea?"

The remaining three cups of tea were given to Xiao Yu, the Prime Minister and Mu Zhaoming respectively. Seeing Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan, and Zhang Zhengshi, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "It turns out that Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan are also together , and... this is Lord Zhang, right?"

Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan, and Zhang couldn't help but look embarrassed. Zhang Zheng, who was named, said awkwardly: "The next official is Yin Zhangzheng of Shuntian Mansion?"

Boqing hurriedly apologized and said: "I didn't know that the three of you were also at the house. I didn't prepare the tea for the three of you. I was really rude. I neglected the three of you. Please forgive me."

Hastily ordered the girl to serve tea, turned back to Uncle Feng and said displeasedly: "Uncle Feng, why didn't you let someone tell me that Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Zhang are here, so that I can prepare tea in advance. I have neglected the guests , how do you become a housekeeper?"

Uncle Feng knew that Boqing was just pretending to scold him, so he quickly said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, the third concubine died of freezing outside the gate last night. Mr. Zhang invited the third concubine to examine the body of the third concubine. Madam Yan is here to claim the corpse."
