Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 237 Housework
The two sat side by side in the garden for half an hour. When Lin Zisu returned to Changping Palace, her head was still a little light.

Although the two have already talked about getting married, she feels that her feelings for Xie Xi are nothing more than an ordinary relationship.

But in the garden, Xie Xi talked a lot, from memories to the future.

Those plans were spoken by Xie Xi, which sounded safe and practical, which was extremely disproportionate to his usual sloppy personality.

Lin Zisu lay on the bed, thinking about what Xie Xi said, with a faint smile on her lips.

In this world, there is something more beautiful than love words, which is promise.

The night was extremely peaceful, and at Sishi on the second day, Lin Zisu appeared refreshed and refreshed in the Jiyi Hall.

When the emperor saw Lin Zisu, he immediately laughed and said, "Shouli, it seems that you have settled down Miss Su well, and I will reward you well."

Seeing Lin Zisu's radiant face, Cao Shouli, who was standing by the side, smiled and said, "Miss Lin regards the palace as her own home, so she lives in peace, and slaves don't dare to be greedy for credit."

With one master and one servant talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and the hearts of several cabinet ministers at the side were all sour.

The emperor issued a decree yesterday, Zhang Ruogu was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Rong Zonghou, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Qiu Guangzu, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Punishment, were promoted to the cabinet, and finally made up the five members of the cabinet.

Among the five, Qian Minzhong and Lu Zhiyuan felt the most uncomfortable.

Since Liu Qingyuan took office, the cabinet seat has been vacant for several days. For these two days, Qian Minzhong, the second assistant, has been acting as the chief assistant.

Qian Minzhong thought that the position of chief assistant was within his grasp, but judging from the emperor's reaction in the past few days, he never thought about the matter of chief assistant at all.

Lu Zhiyuan has been in the position of Minister of the Household Department for eight years, and he is also determined to win the position of Chief Assistant.

The few imperial historians who had made friends with him in the past two days were all recorded in memorials, but when they arrived at the emperor's place, they seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

It was the first time for Qiu Guangzu and Rong Zonghou to join the cabinet. They only cared about being flattered and listened all the time.

Therefore, the emperor talked a lot about today's memorial, and the few cabinet ministers rarely expressed their opinions except for the memorial.

In less than half an hour, the cabinet ministers finished their performances, which was extremely rare in the Zhengxing Dynasty.Generally, it is also a festival, and the imperial court will end in such a hasty manner.

When the cabinet ministers left, Lin Zisu hadn't started to take the pulse yet.Today ended so quickly, she was also a little dazed, seeing Xie Yao also backed out, and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, will my daughter give you a pulse?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, I asked you to come here today just in case."

Lin Zisu didn't understand what the emperor meant, and seeing the emperor's smile fading away, she didn't ask any more questions, and stepped aside with her head bowed.

Not long after, there was a sound of people outside the door, and someone begged to see him loudly outside the door.The emperor responded, and the half-hidden door slowly opened, and then a dozen armored imperial guards filed in. Behind them, followed a short and fat middle-aged man, who was the emperor's direct brother, King Wei.

"Brother Huang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that you were poisoned a few days ago. Have you ever recovered?"

King Wei stood still in the middle of the hall carelessly, and before the emperor could speak, he smiled and greeted the emperor.

When the emperor heard King Wei's greeting, he also smiled and said, "My body is fine, so don't worry about my brother."

The two gossiped about the family affairs, like ordinary brothers, they seemed to have a very harmonious relationship.

King Wei's words were full of respect, but without any embarrassment, with a bamboo crown and a wide belt, and three black beards hanging around his neck, he looked quite like a worldly expert.

If it wasn't for Lin Zisu knowing that King Wei had done those things, and seeing King Wei's demeanor, he would have mistakenly thought that King Wei was a respected elder.

"Second brother, a few days ago I gave Xiao Si'er a marriage. You must have heard about it. This girl is the princess I chose for Xiao Si'er. What do you think, my brother?"

As the emperor said, he pointed at Lin Zisu.Lin Zisu of the Wei Dynasty smiled, and said to the emperor: "I met this girl once, during the Dragon Boat Festival Wei Palace Poetry Meeting, this girl once visited my residence."

"Really? I'm ignorant."

The emperor patted his forehead lightly with his hand, and said to Lin Zisu with a smile: "Su girl, I never thought that you still have this talent. The Poetry Society of Prince Wei's Mansion is very famous in Beijing, so go to him What kind of poems can you write in your house?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Lin Zisu hurriedly replied: "What kind of poems can my ministers do, I just go to join in the fun and see the demeanor of the young ladies by the way."

"You! When you are not at home when you are young, you love to join in the fun. Since you love to join in the fun, you should also go and see the poems of Wufenglou in Zhongqiu."

The emperor smiled and talked to Lin Zisu, his words were full of indulgence.

King Wei waited for the emperor to finish speaking, and said, "Imperial Brother has a lot of things to do every day, I don't know what is the important thing for Imperial Brother to send ministers and emperors into the palace today?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to talk to you about some housework. Just now this girl talked about the Dragon Boat Festival, but I remembered something. I heard that Xiao Sier He said, after the Dragon Boat Festival poetry meeting, you proposed marriage to Uncle Kangning’s mansion and Luo Xiu’s mansion, and there was quite a commotion. I don’t know where the two marriage proposals are going now? Do you need me to make a deal?”

"Your Majesty bothered, these two marriages were just my family's Ayan's whim. After thinking about it, the two girls didn't seem to be very suitable, so I let them go."

"Really? That's such a pity. Ayan has been married for so long and has married several wives. It's a pity that he doesn't have a son or a daughter."

The emperor sighed, and said: "If he leaves here, there will only be King Qing'an under the emperor's knees. I heard that he is not in good health. I will send an imperial doctor to take a look at it some other day."

King Wei didn't seem to understand the emperor's implication, and said: "Your Majesty thinks about my younger brother, and I am very grateful. But life and death are destiny, so don't expect too much. As for future generations, don't even think about it. With the ancestral temple, even if there is no one under his knees, after a hundred years, if he can receive a few strands of incense, that will be enough."

The emperor nodded and said: "Your brother can think so, which shows that you are open-minded, so I don't have any worries."

After speaking, the emperor immediately called out: "Come on!"

"Xie Yan, the son of Prince Wei's mansion, is lawless, disrupts the government, and harms the good people. My heart aches. Even if he has meritorious service, the law of his ancestors cannot be abolished. If he does so many evils, he should be severely punished. Jin Yiwei will record his crimes. Make it known to the public one by one, so as to imitate others, respect this!"
