"Hey, Lord Lu—" the emperor said gently, "Lord Zhao is just concerned about you."

If ordinary people were advised by the emperor in person, they would call him "My dear minister" all the time, and once they knew the emperor's attitude, they would stop.

But not the Year of the Tortoise.

He immediately said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, how can you call a female member of the imperial family 'Qing'? You are too fond of Concubine Zhao, and where do you put us, the ministers of the court? Please be careful with your words!"

Zhang Ci Fu and Minister He beside him both stood a little further away silently.

Put some distance between you and him.

I thought that this guy named Lu was really brave. Although he held a low position, he was very courageous.

It's bad enough that he argues with his colleagues in the court all day long, but after entering the palace, he argues with the favorite concubine and the emperor. Does he think the troubles he caused in Jiangnan are not enough to cost him his head, and does he want to add a few more levels to his crime?

The emperor's face darkened. "Lord Lu, you..."

"Your Majesty, I am the concubine who has been presumptuous and should not have entered here."

Before the evening, Fei said softly and sincerely, "This Lord surnamed Lu is right. I shouldn't be so concerned that I become distracted. I only care about your majesty's health, but I have violated the ancestral rule of not allowing concubines to interfere in government affairs. Your majesty, please punish me according to the palace rules. I am willing to accept the punishment. However, please eat your breakfast before punishing me."

He looked at Lu Guinian and the other two again and pleaded, "Please also ask the others to accompany His Majesty for dinner. With you by his side, His Majesty won't have to rush through his meals because he's busy with state affairs. No matter how busy state affairs are, they can't affect His Majesty's health. You all should also take care of yourselves so that you can remain loyal to the emperor and love the people for the long term. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, what Empress Zhao said is absolutely right."

Zhang He and the other two bowed quickly in response, not wanting to offend the favored concubine easily.

Lu Guinian said with a stern face, "Your Majesty, what you said is not just a woman's foolish opinion; it is quite reasonable. Since you care about Your Majesty's health, I will plead for mercy on your behalf. Please, Your Majesty, please give you a lighter sentence. However, I will not eat this meal. I have been eating your salary for so long, yet I have not done anything to benefit the country or the people. I am ashamed to be eating in the palace!"

As he said this, he really pleaded with Fei Wan, asking the emperor to forgive her crime of trespassing and reduce her punishment.

Zhang He and the other man beside them lowered their eyes and remained silent.

I felt that the degree of his mental problems had worsened.

If it weren't for you, Concubine Zhao wouldn't have been punished at all, so why are you begging for mercy?

Do you want Concubine Zhao to be grateful to you?

"Thank you, Lord Lu, for pleading for me. I am deeply grateful."

Unexpectedly, Fei Wan spoke seriously.

Zhang He and the others: "..."

I don’t understand the ways of favorite ministers and concubines, otherwise I wouldn’t be like that.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to serve you dinner."

Fei Wan waved his hand to send Chun Ling and others away, and personally went forward to serve the meal.

After Lu Guinian's disturbance, the emperor's thoughts on politics were interrupted and his anger was temporarily put aside. When he saw Fei Wan placing the dishes on the table, which were delicious and attractive in appearance, he suddenly felt his appetite grow.

"My dear ministers, you can also use it together."

Cao Bin quickly winked at the young eunuch, who quickly brought over three small tables and stools and placed the other three meals prepared by Chunling on them.

Zhang Cifu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal. I respectfully accept it!"

Minister He: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal. I respectfully accept it!"

Lu Guinian: "I won't eat it!"

The emperor choked.

Fei Wan smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Then please invite the two gentlemen to accompany His Majesty for dinner. Since this Lord Lu must have merit to be rewarded, His Majesty will then host a banquet for him tomorrow when he has made a contribution."

"What Concubine Zhao said is very good."

The emperor was very hungry and too lazy to get angry with Lu Guinian, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate with Fei Wan's service.

Zhang He and the other man both stood to receive their meals and ate in a reserved manner, but they both ate obediently together.

Pian Lu Guinian stood there like a wooden stick, with a stern face and no interest in the imperial meal.

This made the king and his ministers feel awkward while eating.

Lu Guinian was a loyal minister who dared to impeach anyone in the court, and he only impeached the people who gave the emperor a headache, which usually made the emperor feel comfortable.

Today, when he blocked his heart, the emperor truly realized his ability to annoy people.

No wonder many court officials avoided him when they saw him.

Seeing that the emperor was eating slower and slower and his appetite was decreasing, Fei Wan brought the emperor's soup and personally presented it to Lu Guinian.

"Lord Lu, please drink a little for now to fill your stomach. I made a mistake by trespassing in the palace today, and it's thanks to you, Lord Lu, for reminding me. This soup is my thank you, how about it?"

Full of face.

Lu Guinian looked at the emperor.

The emperor nodded and said, "My dear, please use it."

"Then, I would like to thank Your Majesty and Empress Zhaofei. Your Majesty must learn from today's mistakes in the future."

"I would like to thank Lord Lu for his kindness!"

Fei Wan half-jokingly placed the soup bowl on the small table next to Lu Guinian.

But he took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and used his body and wide sleeves to cover the view and put a note at the bottom of the bowl.

Then he walked back to the Imperial Court.

Lu Guinian bent down and picked up the bowl.

Without making a sound, he slipped the note into his palm.

While drinking soup with his sleeves covered, he read the note carefully.

Then he swallowed the paper into his stomach and swallowed it with the soup, leaving no trace.

The paper read:

"Don't make any contact in the near future. Regarding the Jiangnan issue, investigate the situation between the vassal state and the emperor, and make plans before taking any action."

Lu Guinian finished a bowl of soup.

He put down the bowl and bowed to the throne again to express his gratitude.

The moment his eyes met Fei Wan's, he gave her a reassuring look.

Fei Wan served the emperor as usual.

After the meal, he ordered the table to be cleared and left.

In the imperial study, the meeting continued.

Fei Wan took a slow walk on the open platform outside Chen Qian Palace.

The autumn breeze blows on my face.

The weather is clear and clear.

The towering palaces of the imperial city are surrounded by high walls. Outside the walls are the solemn imperial city, the prosperous and majestic capital, and the vast autumn scenery of the vast rivers and mountains.

It is the coveting and submission of foreign races, and the unknown and unpredictable overseas.

The sky is high and the earth is far away.

It is the life of countless creatures, either happy or sad.

Everything between heaven and earth is but a drop in the ocean, a mere moment in the long river of time!

As she stepped into the imperial study where meetings were taking place, Fei Wan knew that this was just the beginning.

One day, she will be able to walk in and out of the imperial study and the court with dignity and confidence.

I will never be oppressed by any ancestral rules again!

Lu Guinian, please don't let me down...

Oh, it doesn’t matter if you’re disappointed.

There are plenty of people available, and I can replace them at any time.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry for putting you through this today."

It was an hour later when I saw the emperor again.

After the meeting, they spent some private time together in the bedroom, and the emperor expressed his sympathy as soon as he opened his mouth.

Fei Wan walked forward with a smile and grabbed the emperor's neck.

She breathed softly against his neck.

"Where are you wronged? Why don't you understand me?"

Her eyes, as charming and clear as autumn water, looked at the emperor quietly.

A bit mischievous.

She whispered, "Your Majesty, are you saying that I've been with you day and night for the past few days, but you haven't shown any interest in getting close to me, and that I've lost your love for you and am about to lose my beauty and love?"

The soft, cherry-like lips gently moved forward.

"Your Majesty, is this such a grievance?"
