After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"As Eunuch Ma's shrill voice sounded, Lu Zhizhou walked in quickly.

"See you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!" Seeing only a bright yellow figure, Lu Zhizhou knelt down and worshiped.

"Lu Aiqing is dead and has a rest today. Lu Aiqing is not at home for the reunion dinner. Do you have anything important to report?" Xiao Jingzhao asked in a calm tone with his eyebrows slightly raised.

After Lu Zhizhou stood up, he did not dare to look directly at Long Yan. He lowered his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, Your Majesty. Originally, this matter did not bother the Emperor. Wei Chen reported it to Zuo Xiang. Zuo Xiang said that it was a trivial matter and Wei Chen could make up his own mind. ”

Xiao Jingzhao raised his hand slightly, "No matter how big or small it is, Lu Aiqing just says it's okay."

With the emperor's permission, Lu Zhizhou boldly reported: "The Yamen has an official media bureau. In order to save money, only one official media is used. Recently, people have been coming to the official media bureau frequently to ask for official media. The ministers dare not break the precedent and increase the number of personnel without authorization. , I came here to ask the emperor what he meant."

Xiao Jingzhao said calmly, "We are too busy. Just add two more people to the official media department. There is no need to save these additional expenses."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave." Lu Zhizhou cupped his hands and took a step back.

A few days ago, the investigation of corruption and falsification of accounts in various government offices caused a lot of noise, and no one in the court dared to think of corruption.

Seeing Lu Zhizhou's cautious appearance, Eunuch Ma on the side asked curiously: "Did something happen in the capital that the palace doesn't know about? Why is everyone in a hurry to get married?"

Lu Zhizhou took a step back and cupped his hands towards Eunuch Ma: "It's not a big deal. Maybe it's because the scholars started discussing marriage after the scientific examination."

Just as Eunuch Ma made a gesture of invitation to send him off, he said, "My subordinates are also wondering why they all go to Jiang Mansion to propose marriage."

His voice was not loud. Xiao Jingzhao was a martial arts practitioner and had excellent ears, so he listened to every word he said.

"Wait a minute! Which house did you go to to propose marriage?"

Lu Zhizhou staggered at his feet. He did not expect that the always serious emperor actually liked to listen to gossip.

He quickly turned around and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, this is a girl named Jiang from Jiang Mansion on Guixiang Street."

"Is it Miss Jiang from Jishi Hall?" Eunuch Ma couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

Lu Zhizhou suddenly felt that the emperor's expression seemed to have turned cold. He nodded in confusion: "Yes, that's Miss Jiang, the woman known as Yueniang."

He paused and then said: "I heard that Miss Jiang has a stunning appearance and Hua Tuo's medical skills. In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage. It was not until Jiang Mansion released the news that the engagement had been made that the official media department stopped. "

Since the emperor liked to hear gossip, Lu Zhizhou simply poured out what he learned like beans.

For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, Xiao Jingzhao asked: "So, there has never been a time when the official media agency did not have enough people?"

"Never." Lu Zhizhou replied affirmatively.

"Then there is no need to increase the number of people. Now the border war is about to break out. Only strong soldiers and horses can protect the peace of the people. The province must be spared."

Lu Zhizhou: "..."

The emperor changed his mind too quickly. Will hiring two more matchmakers affect the border war?

Eunuch Ma seemed to have glimpsed the holy intention, and he urged: "Master Lu, please invite me! Your Majesty has passed the time for lunch."

Lu Zhizhou bowed again: "Wei Chen, please retire."

Eunuch Ma was still shaking his head when he saw Lu Zhizhou walking far away. Several young eunuchs waiting outside the palace pursed their lips to hold back laughter.

Eunuch Ma glared at everyone, flicked the whisk in his hand and said: "Pass the meal!"

Xiao Jingzhao almost tasted nothing of this meal.

Jiang Shuyue's figure moved back and forth all over her head.

…

In Jiang Mansion, Nangong Zeyue went back to the restaurant after lunch, and Lin Miaoshou went to the medicine shop on Huanhua Street.

The bright moon is in the sky, the stars are twinkling, and the silver moonlight shines on the earth.

The streets were crowded with people, the shops on both sides were decorated with lights, and the shop selling lanterns was filled with all kinds of lanterns, making it very lively.

The wooden frame in front of the shop was hung with lanterns. In order to attract customers, the boss played a game of guessing lantern riddles at the door.

Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out, and cheers came from the crowd.

A passerby said happily: "Someone has guessed the lantern riddle correctly again."

The girls were all dressed up, bought lanterns in the shop, and walked to another street together.

At this time, in Jiang Mansion, everyone gathered in the garden to admire the moon.

Su Jin picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of hot tea for everyone sitting at the table. He said to Jiang Shuyue: "Sister, the capital is not as good as Yannan. It gets cold at night. You can rest earlier."

Jiang Shuyue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with concern: "You should rest early tonight and don't read at night. Don't hurt your eyes."

"Well, I remember what sister told me. I will take Anan back to the house to rest."

Sunan protested: "It's too early and I can't sleep. Brother, please go back to the house first and I'll look at the moon for a while."

Sunan said, twisting the moon cake and putting it into his mouth.

Changle glanced at Sunan, as if to say:

I believe you as a ghost...

Jiang Shuyue stood up and said, "Changle, Suisui, you guys should go back to your house to make arrangements."

"Sister Jiang will settle down first, and I will send Suisui to Shumoxuan."

Changle wanted to go out and play on the street after dinner. Who would have thought she would bring it up? Jiang Shuyue said that there were many people outside who were afraid of being unsafe. Jing'er also said that the Queen Mother also told her not to run around and just watch the excitement at the gate of Jiang's mansion.

"Okay, I'll go back to the house first. You can go back early."

"Good night, mother!" Suisui said obediently.

Jiang Shuyue rubbed her son's head and said gently, "Good night."

Everyone left one after another. Seeing that Changle did not move, Su Nan coughed and said, "There is a difference between men and women. Your Highness the Princess should know how to avoid suspicion. You don't have to go to Shumoxuan. I will take Sui Sui back and settle her down by myself."

Being too familiar with Changle, he also started to talk about you and me. Changle did not care. Instead, she felt that this was the way relatives get along.

Changle rolled her eyes, "Who said we were going to your Shumoxuan?"

Su Nan: "You just..."

"Second uncle, my aunt was just fooling my mother. Don't take it seriously." Seeing Su Nan's serious look, Sui Sui laughed and fell on the recliner.

Su Nan: "..."

The palace maids were all sent away by Changle, and only Jing'er was left to serve.

Seeing the princess lowering her head and whispering to Sui Sui, Jing'er said nervously, "Master, don't forget what the Queen Mother said."

"Don't be long-winded, I haven't forgotten, isn't it just to take a look at the door and then come back? Go make the bed, I'll be back in a while."

Jing'er was with Changle for a long time, so she naturally didn't believe Changle's words.

"They have already made the bed. The master wants to go to the gate to watch the excitement. I will go and serve."

Su Nan was not at ease with Changle taking Sui Sui out, so he said, "Let's go out together. Without me, the gatekeeper won't open the door."

"You can go together, but don't be long-winded like an old woman later." Changle said, stretching out her hand to Sui Sui.

Sui Sui pulled Changle and stretched out one hand to Su Nan.

The few people went out of the door, and the street was as noisy as day.

"Second uncle, look, there are people releasing Kongming lanterns!" Sui Sui looked up at the sky.

Just one street away from Jiang Mansion, several Kongming lanterns rose slowly.

Across the street, several pairs of sinister eyes hid in the crowd and stared at the figures standing in front of the gate of Jiang Mansion.
