Moreover, the current attitude of Su Xiang’s insiders is not right either! Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so calm after knowing his true identity, right? Not to mention condemning her, they didn't even mention this topic! They were deceived, wouldn't they all be angry? What's more, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Didn't they have a prince they supported before?
This unscientific!
Lu Qing couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out at all!
As soon as the location for the official kiln for glass manufacturing was determined, workers started construction in full swing. There were more people and more strength. However, building an official kiln also took a long time. It could not be built and used immediately. It had to dry for a while.
Quartz stone and other materials were also found, and construction started immediately after the official kiln was completed.
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the court to seal the pen.
This concludes the work of each department this year.
"It's finally over. If this continues, I will lose my life!" Mr. Meng, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sighed deeply at this moment, but even so, his wrinkled old face was full of smiles.
When the official kiln is built, the money he spent will be returned in doubled. When he thinks of this, the haze of the past few days dissipates.
Calculating those account books is really easy to make your head go bald. The number is too huge and extremely cumbersome. I worked overtime and only completed it in the afternoon today.
She sighed secretly that she shouldn't have gloated in front of the Minister of Rites before.
The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for the arrival of envoys from the Ling Kingdom and Fenglan Kingdom this month. In addition, the date coincides with New Year's Eve, and there is no serious hostess in the palace to handle the New Year's Eve banquet. It also fell on the Ministry of Rites and the Palace Internal Affairs Office.
In previous years, the New Year's Eve banquet was hosted by the late Queen Mother Chen, the successor of the late emperor, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs cooperated. Now it is directly handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites.
The arrival of the envoys after the new year is even more of the top priority of the Ministry of Rites. It cannot be underestimated, and it cannot but highlight Dayu's national prestige.
Welcoming the proton back home this time will definitely not be uneventful, and all the ministers have been prepared for this!
Therefore, the Minister of Rites was very busy chatting and playing chess with the ministers for this matter.
As for Lu Qing, she had seen the invitation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago to invite the wives of ministers. After reading it, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, she did learn about many members of the royal family, including two influential princes.
One is King Cheng and the other is King Su. They are two princes with great majesty in the royal ancestral hall. I heard that the late emperor, her cheap father, could not successfully ascend the throne without the strong support of these two old princes. Therefore, as long as the late emperor's demands on them were not excessive, he could be said to respond to their requests. Even the great-granddaughter of the family's concubine could get the title of county head, which shows that he was more favored.
It would be nice to meet them by chance. After all, I haven't seen anyone else in the royal family since I've been here for such a long time. Oh, I haven't even seen the second half-princess, so I just happened to have a look this time.
"How is it? How is it? Brother Huang, am I great?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but hit the chubby little man in front of him who looked at him expectantly.
Just now, he said he wanted to show her the thirteen movements of whipping that he had recently learned from Commander Zuo. In the end, he almost got himself entangled. After struggling to break free, he asked her without knowing it.
How did she answer this? She is not a liar!
Tell the truth, it hurts people's hearts, tell lies, because he is afraid that Xiaopangdun can't see his strength clearly, so Lu Qing is very embarrassed.
"Brother Emperor, why don't you speak? Am I practicing well?" Lu Yuan was dissatisfied that his brother was distracted and asked again.
"Want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth!" Lu Yuan said without hesitation.
"Weak." Lu Qingfeng said one word calmly.
Lu Yuan froze on the spot, thinking he was hallucinating, "What!? Brother Huang, what did you say?"
Lu Qing decided not to coddle this child and firmly told the truth, "I say you are too weak."
Lu Yuan was sad, then he raised his head and was unconvinced, "Xiao Zhuzi and the others all praised me for my greatness. Brother Huang, you are lying!"
"That's because they are afraid of you." Lu Qing responded casually while reading the travel notes.
Lu Yuan was extremely puzzled, his eyes full of confusion. "Why are they afraid of me? I am very good to them and never beat or scold them, so how could they lie to me?"
Hearing this, Lu Qing was finally willing to put down the book and look at him again, deciding to explain to him why.
Zhenguogongfu.
On the occasion of parting, Xiao Minghe took his son and Yaomei to say goodbye to his third brother.
Xiao Mingyuan understood that celebrating the New Year at home was a luxury. The soldiers in the north were still waiting for him to send food. The last batch of food had already been sent by his men at high speed. This batch had just been collected. He went with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. The most suitable.
"Take care and be safe along the way." Xiao Minghe patted his brother on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"I know brother, I will write a letter when I get to the northwest. The family depends on you." Xiao Mingyuan thought that he was used to parting, but he still felt sour every time at this time.
After all, it had been so many years since he had celebrated the New Year with his family that he could not remember it all. Everyone knew that the Zhenguo Palace was famous, but they didn’t know how much helplessness and blood and tears were hidden under this brilliance. Even the most ordinary reunion was... Can't do it.
"Don't worry, big brother is here."
Xiao Yuanyuan stood aside with tears welling up in her eyes, but she resisted letting them fall and just watched her two brothers talk quietly.
Then, caught off guard, a big palm fell on his head.
"You're really promising! You're so old and you still cry like you were when you were little. If you cry again, I'll beat you?" Xiao Minghe pinched Yaomei's round little head hard, his mouth unforgiving.
"I'm not crying! You should leave quickly!" Xiao Yuanyuan waved her hand away from her head. The third brother said it was really annoying, but she would miss him very much when he left her.
"Okay, okay, let's go. You have to listen to eldest brother, you know? If anything happens, go to eldest brother or Liao Shinan. We, the people in the Duke's Mansion, can't be bullied. Someone will take care of you if something goes wrong!" When the eldest brother told After discovering the whole story of his younger sister's breakup, he almost wanted to kill Song Yan's white-knuckled chicken on the spot, but his elder brother persuaded him to stop him. After all, Song Mao was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was an upright and good official, but the son of a murderer was... is inappropriate.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhenguo Palace is also a scumbag who can bully and abuse her. She is simply looking for death! Although he couldn't be killed, he could be beaten to vent his anger. A cold light flashed in Xiao Mingyuan's eyes.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Third brother, have a safe journey." Xiao Yuanyuan nodded obediently like a chicken pecking at rice, and her heart instantly felt warm.
