Chapter 144
Because the emperor had spoken, and he had just returned to live in the palace since the little emperor practiced Zuo, it was the first time that the palace held a full moon wine for Prince Jinning, so the palace people attached great importance to it. Even the new concubines and beauties in the palace tried their best to find ways to please the emperor.

As a result, colored lights hang high in the palace in the evening, and the night sky illuminated by neon lights is as bright as day. The ministers and their families who came to the dinner to attend the dinner came and went in carriages, compared with those beautiful women who entered the palace during the emperor's draft. It's even more exciting when you run for election.

As soon as the carriage arrived at Chonghua Gate, Jiang Wu saw the red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the long red wall and blue brick palace road from the raised curtain.There are 20 court ladies in red and green, and they are standing on both sides with colored lotus lanterns to welcome and see off the carriage.

Jiang Wu clicked her tongue, turned around and asked Huo Shijiu: "Is the palace so lively?"

"What's wrong? My son is full moon, the scene should be this big." Huo Shijiu touched the seven-pound little head leaning on Jiang Wu's chest. The child's soft hair seemed to be able to scratch Huo Shijiu's heart. His face The smile on her face became more and more gentle, and she carefully took the child from Jiang Wu's arms and held it by herself, saying: "This is also what the emperor meant, you don't have to feel uneasy."

"But after all, the tree attracts the wind, so many people will have something to say." Jiang Wu sat next to Huo Shijiu.

Ting Yu and Bing Song hurriedly exited the carriage and followed outside slowly.

Huo Shijiu touched the top of Jiang Wu's head with his chin to show his intimacy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if someone sues me for treason, I'm not afraid."

"Are you so confident?"

"After all these years, I still have this confidence."

Mr. Xu Shi spoke too loudly, disturbing Qijin's rest.The child kicked his legs impatiently, and put his two little hands into fists on both sides of his head, as if he would grin and cry if he quarreled again.

Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu hurriedly kept silent, seeing that Qijin was gradually falling asleep again, they smiled at each other.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden quarrel outside the carriage, Jiang Wu listened carefully, and heard a familiar voice scolding: "...everything comes first, first come first, even if it is the Duke, you must be reasonable! It doesn't make sense for the old man's carriage to give way to the Duke!"

It's Jiang Xuewen!

Jiang Wu hurriedly opened the curtain of the car.

I saw the carriage with the logo of the Jiang family and the carriage with the logo of the British government crowded side by side at a T-shaped intersection. Both of them wanted to go to the palace, but neither of them would take half a step back.

Around here, on both sides, there are already many carriages waiting in line, but they dare not complain because they are afraid of the power of the British Duke.

Jiang Xuewen sat on the carriage, staring angrily at the carriage in front of him

However, the curtain of the British Duke’s carriage was closed, and the British Duke did not show up. Only the young man accompanying the carriage and a middle-aged man in a splendid scribe uniform glared at Jiang Xuewen angrily, and reasoned: “Although Mr. Jiang is a Famous ministers, but as a native of Yan State, at least one should clearly distinguish between superiority and inferiority. You don’t need to elaborate on the dignity of the Duke’s status, and everyone knows it. You don’t know how to respect, and you clearly want to bully the Duke on purpose. My Lord. Our Duke doesn't want to argue with you. Just get out of the way and never mention this matter again. If not, even if the Duke doesn't say anything, we seem to have to sue the Emperor. We'll see when the time comes. How did you end up!"

"I'm talking to the Duke of England, what's the matter with you! There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the master speaks, so there is no reason for you servants to interrupt! I will come first, of course I will go this way, and I, Jiang Yuming, must make way ,dream!"

……

Seeing that the carriages of Jiang Xuewen and the Duke of England were blocked at the intersection, making it impossible for the carriages coming from the two parties to move forward, Jiang Wu couldn't help but help her forehead.

The real battlefield is not in this small alley where if you win the fight, you can defeat the British Duke. Dad is too confused about the importance.

Huo Shijiu got out of the carriage first, and said, "Wu'er, you wait a little longer. I'll come as soon as I go."

Jiang Wu nodded, and when Huo Shijiufang appeared in the flying fish suit, the people around stopped discussing immediately, and even the servants tried their best to lead the carriage to avoid it, making way for Huo Shijiu.

Huo Shijiu walked up to Jiang Xuewen's carriage, bowed his hands and saluted, "My lord father-in-law."

When Jiang Xuewen saw Huo Shijiu, he felt angry and snorted coldly.

Huo Shijiu didn't care at all, he just smiled and said: "My lord father-in-law, the emperor held a dinner for our family Qijin, and here, because of the problem of traveling with the British government, you are unhappy with the British prince, wouldn't it be contrary to the original intention of the emperor today? You are a loyal person who understands the emperor's heart and mind best, why don't you put the emperor's life first and let the Duke live first?"

In this way, if Jiang Xuewen refused to give way, it would appear that he did not accept the emperor's favor, and that he would disregard family affection and disrespect the emperor if he did not see it in the face of his grandson Manyue.

Jiang Xuewen blushed furiously, pointed at Huo Jiujiu and cursed: "Everything comes first, first comes first, and there is no reason for everything. You really insulted my status as a scholar by doing this!"

"Father-in-law, many of your colleagues and their family members in the court are blocked here because you refused to let the Duke pass first. You have been delayed for so long and cannot pass. If you really want to insult the status of a scholar, what have you done? Where is Bi Yingqiang?"

Huo Shijiu spoke slowly, with a slight smile on his face.But when Jiang Xuewen heard it, he felt that every word and every sentence was pierced in his heart like a knife, and sneered: "How dare you speak to your father-in-law like this! Your reasoning is better than anyone else!"

Huo Shijiu smiled more cheerfully, saluted and said: "My father-in-law taught me the lesson, but I still ask my father-in-law to wait for a while." Then he turned around and went to the British stallion, saluted, and said a lot of polite words, Only then did he personally lead his followers to drive into the palace.

Jiang Xuewen also knew that he couldn't win the British Duke today because he just wanted to be more serious. Now that Huo Shijiu got involved, people might not know what to say about him.

Holding his breath in his heart, he didn't bother to pay attention to Huo Shijiu any more, and ordered people to continue driving and keep up with the front.

The team moved forward again, Huo Shijiu returned to the carriage, but saw Jiang Wuzheng frowning thoughtfully.Qi Jin had already woken up, blinking her big eyes as bright as black grapes and looking around curiously, but Jiang Wu didn't notice it.

"Wu'er, what are you thinking?" Huo Shijiu was a little worried.

Only then did Jiang Wu come back to her senses, she shook her head, "It's nothing."

"Do you still have to hide something from me?" Huo Shijiu sighed. In fact, he could see the sadness in Jiang Wu's eyes clearly. If he was not the father of her child, she would not have lost her father's love.

"Wu'er, don't worry, I will repay all the family affection I owe you to you."

The carriage moved forward, and the body shook a bit as it set off.

Qijin was shaken to like it, grinning happily.

Jiang Wu also laughed, nodded and said: "This is what you said, I will keep it firmly in mind, if you break your promise and become fat, I will tell Qijin that it will be difficult for you in the future. Isn't it Qijin."

Qijin's little hands grabbed Jiang Wu's long hair hanging down her chest, and she laughed even more happily.

After a lot of twists and turns, finally came to Tai Chi Hall.

Today, the Tai Chi Hall was brightly lit, and the ministers and family members who had arrived successively had already been led to their respective positions by the palace attendants.

As soon as Jiang Wu and Huo Shijiu entered the hall with Qijin wearing a little red jacket, they attracted everyone's attention. Those ministers who had kissed Huo Shijiu or who were good at both sides had already stood up and clapped their hands, chattering He said: "Marquis Jinning, congratulations."

Huo Shijiu returned the salute one by one, and was led forward by the servant, and sat down on the right hand side next to the British Duke.

Jiang Wu sat on the table behind Huo Shijiu with her child in her arms, and greeted each other with the noble ladies around her.

Not long after, Jing Tong entered the hall, shook Bai Xichen, and sang loudly: "The emperor is here!"

The hall immediately quieted down, and saw the little emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with an innocent smile on his long face and brisk steps, it seemed that this 15-year-old young emperor had no airs of being an emperor at all, and walked up the hall swaggeringly. Hall of Taiji waved his hand casually: "No courtesy, no courtesy, today I want to celebrate the full moon for my little nephew. Sit down, sit down!"

Of course, the original awe-inspiring atmosphere was disturbed by the emperor's words.

Jiang Xuewen and other Qingliu officials turned their angry eyes to Huo Jiujiu, who "stimulated" the emperor's move.

As a courtier, seeing that the emperor is still 15 years old and still not doing business properly, Qingliu and the others really wish they could correct the emperor's thoughts immediately, but although the little emperor does not do business seriously, Long Wei is very big, his eyes are wide open and he said what? How to kill people.They are not afraid of death, but they can't let their death be meaningless.

Those who have this idea, Jiang Xuewen ranked first.

The little emperor was already smiling and said, "Hurry up and bring my little nephew here to have a look!"

Jiang Wuying was, although she was reluctant to let the child show up, worried that the little emperor's subordinates would not hurt him seriously, she had to get up, and approached the emperor's head with the child in the little red jacket.

Jiang Wu is wearing heavy makeup today, wearing ice blue Zhai clothes, and the baby in her arms is wearing a red jacket and red trousers. The bright mother and cute child naturally attract people's attention. When she lit up, she smiled and said, "It's really pretty, come quickly, give me a hug."

"Yes." Jiang Wu handed over the seven catties to the emperor.

The little emperor moved jerkyly, as cautiously as if holding a large piece of tofu, lowered his head and looked at Qi Jin who was looking around curiously, and said, "Brother Chong really looks good, I look like Brother Ying." a little more."

"What the emperor said is true." Jiang Wu smiled and nodded, carefully watching the little emperor's movements, and if there is any emergency, she can bring the child back.

The British Duke also came forward, pinching Qijin's cheek with his right thumb and thick index finger wearing a jade wrench, and lovingly said: "Huo Ran is a good-looking child. This is the old man's meeting gift." The finger was pulled down and handed to Jiang Wu, without waiting for Jiang Wu to thank, she smiled and said: "By the way, the emperor, when I just entered the palace, I heard something interesting."

The little emperor's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "What's interesting?"
