Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 263

"What I want is not just a Liu Zhifei, but...the Liu family."
In the empty hall, those words seemed to be still echoing.
Su Hanxiao leisurely half leaned on the recliner under the window, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and slowly went through the conversation just now in his mind.
The minister is the master, and the master chooses the ministers. Holding the entire Liu family in your hands, it is the first test!She couldn't make a mistake, under Liu Zhifei's gentle gaze, there were occasional flashes of hatred.
What kind of elopement back then, I'm afraid there is no inside story, right?Now, Prime Minister Liu, this niece of yours is not an obedient pawn. If she is too confident, she will fall badly.
After resting for a while with eyes closed, the last ray of sunset outside the window also disappeared.
After a simple dinner, the female officer of Zichen Palace sent an order to be summoned by the queen.
Su Hanxiao straightened her clothes, did not bring any attendants, and followed the female officer who delivered the decree to the main hall of Zichen Palace.
"The emperor is here? Come quickly." The queen waved with a smile.
"It's so late, what orders does the Empress have?" Su Hanxiao had already calmed down on the road, and greeted her with a smile.
"It will be the New Year's ceremony soon." The queen said, taking out a memorial and putting it on the table, and said to herself, "Although there are responsible officials who have been watching the progress, but the ceremony is approaching, I am thinking about it. Send someone close to you to take a look at it, so you can rest assured, the Ministry of Rites has strongly recommended you, and it just so happens that the matter in hand has come to an end for the time being, so go and keep an eye on it."
"Me?" Su Hanxiao frowned, looking surprised.
Supervising and offering sacrifices to the heavens is a job that earns a reputation and requires no effort. The Ministry of Rites... She never remembered what kind of person the head of the Ministry of Rites is. After all, the Ministry of Rites has no real power and has always been ranked last among the six departments. Instead, I sent a big pie over first.
"Why, are you still sad?" The queen took a breather and sighed softly, "I am as sad as you are about the passing of Hanxiang, but as a royal family, especially the queen and princess, it is too much to leave my feelings. Less. If you can’t calm down, just do something.”
"Yes, my servant obeys." Su Hanxiao paused for a moment, and when he saw the queen, he misunderstood what he meant, so he just made the mistake and made no rebuttal.However, a generation of emperors would have such an idea, or in other words, is this an idea only emperors would have?So, am I not qualified enough... If Mei Ruoshui or Qin Yue by her side are gone, she will definitely not be able to be as calm as the empress now.It's not that I love you too deeply, but...the hole was not strong enough when I dug it, so after I fell, I couldn't climb up when I faced the four walls that would break when I touched it.
Curling the corners of her lips, she gave herself a sarcastic smile.
"The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is not complicated. People in the Ministry of Rites are familiar with it all night. You don't need to spend too much time thinking about it. Just take advantage of this time and ask Feng Shangshu for advice." The queen nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes." Su Hanxiao agreed, and his heart moved slightly. What should I ask the Minister of Rites for advice?I am afraid that the regulations for various ceremonies and festivals immediately come to mind, right?
When she looked up, she saw a look of tiredness flashing across the Queen's eyebrows.
"Why don't you see the queen father?" Su Hanxiao thought for a while, and cautiously tried a word.
"Your empress father is not in good health recently, so don't bother him." The queen paused for a while before saying.
"Father is not in good health?" Su Hanxiao intentionally showed anxiety on his face, "Did you ask the imperial doctor to take the medicine?"
"Hmm... I'm just a little tired and caught a cold, it's nothing serious." The queen said.
"My son knows, please tell my mother to tell my father to take good care of his illness, and my son will visit again in a few days." Su Hanxiao said immediately.
"Ah." The queen nodded, seemingly perfunctory.
Su Hanxiao sneered in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the Empress, Queen Feng, and Mei Guijun he met when he first came to this world. The atmosphere at that time, at least on the surface, was so harmonious.Mei Guijun's death broke the balance of power between the three, and even the palace and the capital. It really was the emperor's selfless affairs. In the eyes of outsiders, the empress who is so loving and loving is only a mirror image after all.
"I heard that Ruoshui also retreated?" the queen said again.
"Yes, Ruoshui is also very sad, just as the empress said, let him do something, maybe he won't always think about the past." Su Hanxiao replied.
"That child..." The queen sighed again, and waved her hand after a long time, "Go down and rest."
"Yes, my son is leaving." Su Hanxiao stepped back a few steps before turning around, walked to the entrance of the hall, and couldn't help turning her head again.
In the empty and cold hall, that graceful and luxurious figure seemed so lonely.
Su Hanxiao shook his head violently, stepped out of the palace gate, and clenched his fists hard.
It's too cold at the heights?Then find a few more people who are qualified to stand with her on a high place, so it won't be so cold.
After leaving the Zichen Palace, before walking too far, a familiar figure walked past not far ahead.
"Hanyou? Entering the palace so late?" Su Hanxiao said.
When the man turned his head and saw her, he couldn't avoid it, so he could only walk forward, smiled slightly, and saluted: "The affairs of the Ministry of War are almost done. The younger sister is here to report to the Queen Mother. The female officer of the Chen Palace said that the imperial sister was inside, so she went to visit the empress father first."
The last sentence is actually the real purpose!Su Hanxiao couldn't help but rolled her eyes, but there was a gentle smile on her lips: "Then don't delay the royal sister's business, but the time to lock the palace gate is coming, the imperial sister should hurry up, otherwise It is inappropriate for foreign ministers to stay in the palace."
"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Huang." Su Hanyou smiled brighter, bid farewell politely, passed her by, and walked into Zichen Palace.
Su Hanxiao shook his head until he couldn't see her back, and continued walking.
