Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 269 Wish
When the little emperor said that the biggest contributor to the successful implementation of the disaster relief was a couple from the people, the courtiers sitting in the hall were secretly surprised.

It's no wonder that the little emperor said so confidently before that he would open the national treasury for disaster relief, but it turned out that it was because of the help of wealthy private businessmen.

In addition, what surprised them even more was that the little emperor announced it in front of them. He originally used the funds of wealthy private businessmen to provide disaster relief. According to the little emperor's temper, this kind of thing is not right. It will be easily known to civil and military officials.

But now he not only announces this in public, but also clearly means that he will call the couple into the temple tonight to give a big reward.

The little emperor is a little strange tonight, what is he doing.

Minister of the Ministry of War, that is, He Minxin, the former servant of the Ministry of War, secretly guessed the intention of the little emperor's move. He had just been promoted as a minister by the little emperor a few days ago, and he was paying close attention to the current wind direction in the court, for fear of missing it. What important things to affect his official career.

The ministers were full of thoughts, but their eyes were surprisingly unanimously looking at the entrance of the hall, wondering what kind of person the little emperor could specially hold a banquet for him.

Following the eunuch's high-pitched voice, "Luo Nan from Xuanpuyang and his wife, Shen Qingjiao, enter the palace for an audience." The expressions of all the ministers present changed. The name Shen Qingjiao was no stranger to them. However, an important person in the case of the civet cat for the prince, and also the concubine of the false prince, is a very extraordinary woman, whose city is so deep that officials who have been immersed in power all the year round can't help but feel ashamed.

They all looked nervously towards the entrance of the hall, wondering if the woman who came here was the Shen Qingjiao they knew well.

I saw a man and a woman walking in side by side from the gate of the hall. The man was a slender and handsome gentleman with a handsome face. The rain silk cotton skirt, showing a noble posture when walking lightly, looking up, I saw this woman's beautiful eyebrows are as gentle as the clouds in the distant mountains, and the eyes of a pair of autumn water cut pupils are full of water and light, graceful and graceful like a white lotus in a pond Lovely.

The ministers were all shocked, this woman was clearly that Shen Qingjiao!

How could she appear in Xiliang again, still in this capacity.

Some ministers looked at Shen Qingjiao's slightly protruding belly, and there was a trace of contempt in their eyes. After leaving the fake prince, this woman remarried again, and she was pregnant with the other's child. female!
Most of these ministers believe that women should obey the three obediences and four virtues and follow the way of one end. A woman like Shen Qingjiao who has been married but remarried and became pregnant with the other party's child is clearly violating women's morals and disregarding shame.

But right now, such a woman has the qualifications to be called into the palace hall by the little emperor in the name of meritorious service to the country, and to attract the attention of their civil and military officials.What an honor, how did she, Shen Qingjiao, achieve it?

Shen Qingjiao raised her white chin, it's not that she didn't see the contempt in the eyes of those ministers, but she didn't care, what's the disdain, what's the disgust, then they still have to pretend to be a smiling face to stick to her .

With a sneer in her heart, she pulled her lips slightly to show a just right smile, which made her clear and beautiful face even more charming, like a white lotus swaying in its first bloom.

Some lecherous officials present were dazzled by this smile, and all sighed in their hearts that even though they knew that Shen Qingjiao was a femme fatale, they had to say that this beauty was a beauty, and every frown and smile were unspeakable.

Luo Nan noticed the eyes of these officials looking at Shen Qingjiao, his eyes sank slightly, he held Shen Qingjiao's hand tighter, and brought her closer to his side.

Shen Qingjiao didn't react to his act of declaring sovereignty, but felt a little helpless in his heart.

They walked slowly to the center of the hall, and saluted the little emperor. The little emperor looked at them and felt disturbed. He suppressed the thought of frowning and forced a smile to allow them to sit on the same level as the two. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. .

The officials realized the purpose of this arrangement, and the way they looked at Luo Nan and Shen Qingjiao changed again and again.

The little emperor looked at Luo Nan and the two impetuously, but he thought about what he had promised them before, so he couldn't go back on his word, so he had no choice but to say, "Luo Nan, this disaster relief is all thanks to your help, come on, alone For the sake of the people suffering from the famine, I also want to offer you a toast."

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and smiled at Luo Nan.

Luo Nan raised his lips and smiled, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his wine glass and said, "The emperor's absurd praise, the grassroots are ashamed."

All the ministers listened to Luo Nan's humble words, but when they looked up, they clearly saw that there was no trace of humility on his face, which was completely natural.

Naturally, Luo Nan would not be so respectful to the little emperor. His financial resources were enough to compete with the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, and Xiliang's current national strength was far from what it used to be because of the war with the Northern Qi Dynasty. It can be said that it has declined greatly.

The current Xiliang is not mentioned in front of Luo Nan at all, what he is doing in Xiliang now is just a game, just a smile for Bo Shenqingjiao.

Therefore, no matter how casual and perfunctory he behaved in front of the little emperor, it didn't matter, because he had the confidence.

In the middle of the banquet, Shen Qingjiao looked at the little emperor, and saw that he had never mentioned the matter of Shen Qingli, and felt displeased. Could it be that the little emperor had forgotten that he had promised that people would call Shen Qingli to this hall She would not think that the little emperor changed his mind suddenly, and in her heart, the little emperor's hatred for Shen Qingli may not be inferior to her.

Seeing the little emperor with his head raised on the dragon chair, Shen Qingjiao's face changed, she raised her eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on her lips, "Your Majesty, I seem to have seen Lu Huaiqi at the gate of the palace just now." My wife, Mrs. Lu Chen, was surprised that this criminal woman entered the palace. After thinking about it, I felt that this matter should be reported to the emperor." Since the little emperor couldn't remember it, she decided to do it herself. It was he who brought it up. .

The little emperor's heart sank suddenly, and Shen Qingjiao really couldn't bear it any longer, and actually said it himself, then no matter how unwilling he was, he could only follow her, "The criminal woman was called into the palace alone. In the prison, Gu learned that a group of thieves appeared outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice a few days ago. I don't know if they wanted to rob the prison. Gu worried that it would be unsafe to keep Shen Qingli there, so he took her into the palace and guarded her with heavy soldiers. Just in case the remnants of Lu Huai's crimes resurface."

All the civil and military officials in the palace were secretly surprised when they heard what the little emperor said. It seemed that Lu Huaiqi really answered that sentence, "A centipede is dead but not stiff." Although he is dead, he has many followers and is How could some elusive people be completely wiped out by the little emperor in such a short period of time.

What He Minxin thought of after listening to it was completely different from those of the courtiers. He secretly thought, if he remembered correctly, this Shen Qingjiao had a deep grudge with Shen Qingli back then, and the little emperor had a deep grudge against Shen Qingli. He was also very displeased, so since this is the case, he might as well make these two people happy, and an idea came to him as soon as he rolled his eyes.

He stood up, "Your Majesty, this palace banquet is to celebrate the resolution of the famine, and the famine was actually caused by the plague of locusts. Just now when the Emperor mentioned that Lu Huaiqi was such a heinous person, I couldn't help but let my ministers express their feelings. This is not Lu Huaiqi. Is it the locusts that endanger our Xiliang Jiangshan community? Because of this, I privately think that this palace banquet will lose Lu Chenshi." With a bowed waist and a smile, He Minxin continued, "It is my proposal, not If we just bring Lu Chenshi to this palace banquet, so that she can see, without Lu Huaiqi, Xiliang is a truly powerful country."

After He Minxin finished speaking, he thought that his proposal really killed two birds with one stone. It not only flattered the emperor, but also flattered Shen Qingjiao from the side. He sneaked a glance at Shen Qingjiao, and when he saw her raising her eyebrows and smiling, he knew that What I said really hit the point, but when he looked up at the little emperor again, his face froze.

The little emperor's face was expressionless, and his eyes were gloomy, without joy.

He Minxin became a little apprehensive, thinking back to his own words, maybe he accidentally said something that angered the little emperor.

How did he know that the idea he brought up was exactly what the little emperor had been worrying about tonight.

The little emperor only found out tonight that this He Minxin is really a smart person. He didn't realize it before, and entrusting him with a heavy responsibility is really a big mistake.

He looked down at the courtiers below and saw that they all had different expressions. He didn't know what he was planning in his mind. He turned his eyes to Shen Qingjiao and saw that she was staring at him with a trace of scrutiny in her eyes. The look in his eyes made the little emperor very uncomfortable.

He knew that Shen Qingjiao was urging herself, and she felt that He Minxin's proposal was exactly what she wanted.

Closed his eyes slightly, he felt tired for a while, he didn't want to take care of these things any more, and they could do whatever they wanted to do with Shen Qingli, and after all, it had nothing to do with him.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the uneasy He Minxin. He smiled suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Aiqing's words are reasonable. If that's the case, I will follow what Aiqing said." He looked at the entrance of the hall and said coldly, " Someone here, pass on an order to escort the criminal woman, Lu Chen, to the hall."

After he finished speaking, He Minxin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he must have thought too much, and the little emperor finally accepted his proposal.

Shen Qingjiao was secretly complacent, with a dim light in her eyes, looking at the dark night outside the hall, she secretly smiled in her heart, Shen Qingli, tonight I will definitely give you back all the shame you have brought me.

Luo Nan poured a glass of wine for himself and Shen Qingjiao respectively. He raised his glass to Shen Qingjiao, raised his lips and smiled, "Congratulations to my wife for getting what she wanted tonight."
