Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 304 Flattery and Conflict (3)
"What, Your Majesty, Elder Sister Queen is one of Xue'er's closest relatives in this world. As long as she is happy, Xue'er will naturally be happy too." Xue Gui said charmingly.

"Okay, let's go to Jianjia Palace today, Xue'er, you go with me." Ming Gong enthusiastically clung to Xuegui's catkin, ready to drive.

"My lord, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Cheng Rong, who was standing beside him, hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Oh, Mr. Cheng, the widow is only interested in being happy, but I put you aside. How about this, after you kneel down, go directly to Prime Minister Lu Kai to discuss the matter of visiting Lishan this year. After all, you and Lu Kai Kai hasn't seen each other for more than three months." Mingong ordered happily.

In Jianjia Palace, the green bamboos are about to drip, and the courtyard is deep. Suddenly, from the bedroom, there are melodious and melodious sounds of Dongxiao, lingering in the ears of Minggong and Xuegui, very euphemistic and moving.

Followed by the music, Ming Gong walked slowly into the threshold of Jianjia Palace with his hands behind his back, and suddenly found a beautiful lady, with a wishful cloud on her temples and long sleeves, slenderly under the window lattice, playing a blue hole flute.

"Okay! That's great!" The playful Xuegui hurriedly clapped his hands, and Minggong strolled to Baosi's side, his eyebrows and eyes curved: "Si'er, why are you so interested in playing flute pieces today?"

When Bao Si heard Ming Gong's voice, she quickly put down the flute, solemnly blessed her and said, "Your Majesty, Si'er is just expressing her feelings. Thinking of the high walls and golden tiles in the harem, I can't help but feel nostalgic for the outside. When the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you say, it would be great if Si'er and the king were not the emperor and the queen, but hermits in the fields."

Staring at Baosi's affectionate eyes full of melancholy, Ming Gong suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, and comforted Baosi softly: "Si'er, the bloody battles in the imperial court and harem all these years are horrific and terrible, but you have suffered a lot. I promise, In the days to come, I will cherish everything in front of me and treat you well."

"Yes, yes, Sister Empress, Your Majesty has already made up his mind. In a few days, he will take us on a tour of Lishan Mountain. Then, sister will be able to relax." Xuegui said happily.

"Your Majesty, it's not a trivial matter for the emperor to go on a tour. On the way, it's time for the farmers to harvest. Once a large group of people leave Beijing, it will not only attract the flattery of officials from all over the country, but also cost a lot of money, and even affect the lives of the people. Your majesty should think twice." Bao Si said with a frown.

"Oh, Si'er, don't worry about this. In terms of spending, I will do what I can. Of course, the most important thing is that I still hope that you can smile happily. I remember that Si'er who smiles is the most beautiful in the world. Phoenix." Ming Gong comforted Bao Si with a hug.

The next day, at the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, after Ming Gong recovered from his illness, he finally summoned the important ministers in person. When he proposed the plan to go to Lishan for inspection, Prime Minister Lu Kai was the first to jump out and strongly agreed with the compliment.

"Your Majesty, Son of Heaven, after all these years, you have worked hard to rule the country and make the country peaceful and the people peaceful. It is time for the world to be gentle. If the emperor goes on a tour, the people of the world will definitely look forward to it and wish the court." Lu Kai flatteringly held up his wat and tried his best to praise it.

"Well, Lu Kai, since that's the case, I will order you to be the Minister of Etiquette for the Western Tour, and work with the household department to jointly arrange the affairs of the Western Tour." Ming Gong nodded in satisfaction.

"Furthermore, my lord, will my lord summon His Royal Highnesses King Lu and King Song to accompany you on this tour?" At this time, doctor Zhang Jin stepped forward and asked.

Ming Gong frowned, looking very embarrassed, Lu Kai saw the mystery, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, the shadow of the concubine Jin's rebellion last time and the forced establishment of the crown prince is still there. Besides, the two princes have just returned to their fiefs, and if they call again at this time, will it shock the world, cause unnecessary gossip and rumors about the establishment of a prince, and create excuses for the young people to spread rumors and make troubles, so please think twice."

"Well, Lu Kai, you are very considerate, so that's it, don't summon the prince to accompany you for the time being, you go to draw up the decree." Mingong said happily.

After retiring from the court, the courtiers discussed one after another and withdrew one after another. Only the doctors Zhang Jin and Cheng Rong were left. Zhang Jin stepped forward to Cheng Rong with a sad face and said, "Master Cheng Rong, what is the matter with the prime minister today? King Kailu and King Song, if they can't accompany the king? If things go on like this, I'm worried that a new round of controversy about the establishment of the crown prince will happen."

Cheng Rong stroked his beard and said, "People have selfishness. Last time in the case of Concubine Jin, Lu Kai was wooed by Wang Zhi and stood on the opposite side of King Lu. Of course, he was worried that King Lu would come to find him once he made a comeback. He is in trouble with Lu Kai, so Lu Kai has ghosts in his heart."

"This will be troublesome. Since Lu Kai is afraid of King Lu's revenge, he must support King Song to re-establish the crown prince. I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future." Zhang Jin sighed.
