The Queen Mother, who was in charge, always felt that this year's birthday banquet was lively and interesting.
It won't involve me, and I can eat so many melons. This birthday banquet is really interesting.
The emperor's eyes were full of interest. He had just calculated in his mind that the flood relief in the south of the Yangtze River would require at least one hundred thousand taels. Wang Jianmin alone might not be enough.
It would be perfect if this girl from the Lu family could find out a few more of these huge greedy people, and just in time for such an occasion, so that these old people who like to talk to each other would have nothing to say.
Lu Xinran, who had high hopes from many people, felt that she had a hard day today while flipping through the Chigua System.
"How many days of life do you have now?"
Tongyin replied to her seriously, "It's been almost fifty days. Do you want to spare two months today?"
Lu Xinran lowered her head and yawned secretly. She found that eating melon was so tiring!
Moreover, the big melons of these courtiers seemed to be worthless.
In her eyes, Wang Jianmin was considered extremely greedy, and as a result, his melons were not as valuable as Kang's.
Kang gave her five days of life, but Wang Jianmin only had three days.
If the next melons are only given to two or three days, wouldn't it cost four or five more people?
Eating melon... is so hard!
Who wants to read more of those dirty things? It’s so irritating to the eyes!
[Forget it, let’s eat one last time. 】
She glanced secretly at the waterside pavilion, and suddenly saw Tang Quyan, the minister of Dali Temple, and his wife Liu Shi not far away.
She still remembered Xin Lan's raised eyebrows when she talked about handling the case in the carriage, and her frustration at not being able to go to Shuntian Mansion again because she wanted to avoid suspicion.
[This is a rare opportunity. I have to see what Mr. Tang likes so that I can create opportunities for Lu Xinlan. 】
Not far away, Tang Quyan and Liu said: "?!"
What is creating opportunities?
Ms. Liu looked at the person next to her and raised her eyebrows. This shameless guy always said that the case would never be finished and he wished he could live in Dali Temple.
She still understands him!
The results of it?
If there hadn't been so many people around, Mrs. Liu would have just pinched Tang Quyan's ears and asked him to go back and kneel on the washboard.
Tang Quyan's forehead was covered with sweat. He, he had never seen these two juniors from the Lu family!
They had no contact at all before, so how could the two juniors suddenly miss him? He, he is an unreasonable disaster!
Just when Tang Quyan felt extremely unjust, that voice, like the sound of nature, finally appeared.
[I don’t know if I can help Mr. Tang solve the case. If I can help, will it be justified for Lu Xinlan to want to go to Dali Temple to help? 】
[Master Tang is a workaholic, and all his thoughts are on handling cases. If Lu Xinlan wants to enter Dali Temple, he may not be able to get through! 】
[No, I want to look through it again. What if this person has other hobbies besides investigating cases and looking at corpses? 】
The sound stopped temporarily, and Tang Quyan looked at his wife as if he had survived the catastrophe.
Did you hear that?
People who want to get close to him simply want to enter Dali Temple.
Mrs. Liu snorted, thinking that this guy barely passed the test.
However, these two girls from the Lu family, although one is dignified and gentle and the other has a wild temper, are both older girls of the right age to discuss marriage.
How could they think about running out every day? Still want to enter Dali Temple?
Mrs. Liu was puzzled, and the Queen Mother and Queen who were in charge were also a little puzzled.
"Emperor, that eldest girl of the Lu family, if the Ai family remembers correctly, you told Lu Jinchuan before that you wanted her to marry the fourth child?"
The emperor nodded, "I didn't know she was not a girl from the Lu family at that time."
If there are no accidents along the way, the marriage should be finalized for the two children by the Chinese New Year at the latest.
But now, he shook his head regretfully.
Now it seems that neither of these two girls is suitable for the fourth child.
"Queen, I remember that the second girl of the Zhang family likes to follow the fourth child and call her fourth brother. Has the girl not discussed the marriage yet?"
The queen pulled the veil and asked for a pause with a smile on her face.
"The marriage has not been discussed yet, but I have heard from my sister-in-law several times that I will give her to her nephew."
When she said this, the emperor just laughed lightly.
"Well, the fourth child's marriage is not urgent. Let him be busy in Shuntian Mansion first."
The Queen Mother looked at the couple and wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed.
Below, Lu Jinchuan half-closed his eyes, already thinking about the changes in the situation in the court after today.
Zhou Han heard that he might not be able to sit down in the position of Zuodu Censor, but in all seriousness, his conduct was just short of moral integrity, and the emperor probably would not push him to the end.
But the family might not be able to stay in the capital any longer, and the emperor would probably transfer him to another province to become a frontier official.
It would be difficult for Zhou Bingshan to stay in the position of Doctor of the Household Department. When Zhou Hanwen left Beijing, he should also leave with him.
If the father and son can plan it, they might be able to come back in a few years when these romantic affairs are replaced by other things.
But what the capital will look like many years from now, they and their son will have to take a step at a time to see.
The more Lu Jinchuan thought about it, the better he felt. The Zhou family now freed up a second-grade official position and a fifth-grade official position.
As for the Minister of Honglu Temple, Wang Jianmin was not as lucky as the Zhou family and his son this time. They were confiscated and exiled because of the mercy of the emperor.
Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, fourth grade.
With two big fat men, I don't know what kind of turmoil will happen in the court tomorrow.
Lu Jinchuan can think of these, and others can naturally think of them too.
For a moment, even Lu Xinran's inner voice disappeared from the waterside pavilion, as did the previous sounds of people pushing cups and changing cups.
They are all silently thinking about how to arrange these two good positions and who can take over.
Lu Xinran was still looking through Tang Quyan's past with a bald head.
Is this man crazy? !
[He was promoted to Jinshi at the age of nineteen and entered Dali Temple at the age of twenty-one. 】
[In the same year, I started learning autopsy from an old widower. When there was no case, I read old files. From the age of twenty-three, I tried my best to re-examine old cases. When my son and daughter were born, I only rushed home to take a look! 】
[After becoming the minister of Dali Temple at the age of thirty-two, he made Dali Temple his home. If Mrs. Tang didn’t let anyone go find him, she wouldn’t be able to see him for ten days and a half! 】
[This kind of workaholic, when he becomes an official, the emperor should give him a lifetime achievement award, right? 】
[One hour is divided into two hours, and my wife cannot see anyone. How can Lu Xinlan and I find a chance to get close to her? Could it be that he turned into a corpse? 】
[But now he doesn’t care about the post-mortem work, he only cares about the results...]
She looked bald, Dali Temple was a dungeon with hell difficulty!
Otherwise, they should shamelessly go back to Shuntian Mansion.
The worst thing is, just choose a part of the story about deep sadomasochism and let’s go!
At least the fourth prince seems to be a normal person now.
Song Junyan, who was sitting next to the emperor, faced the gazes of the people above him and calmly raised his glass to toast them.
Lu Xinlan listened to the mixed thoughts, and was both amused and moved for a moment.
This fellow of hers was really kind and lovely. She just showed kindness to her a few times, and he took her affairs to heart and helped her plan everything.
She waved to the palace servants and motioned them to warm up some of the cold dishes on the table.
Lu Xinran came back to her senses and saw her movements, and hurriedly called a few more people.
"Add a dish of duck feet, a dish of cinnamon glutinous rice balls, oh, and pan-fried small yellow croaker and a bottle of glutinous rice liqueur. Remember to bring two wine glasses."
The palace man took the order and left in a daze, and she rubbed her belly.
I have been so busy eating melon that I forgot to eat. I am so hungry!
