Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty One: The Joke Is Big
Chapter 421: The joke is a big deal
In Jingtai Palace, the Empress Dowager had heard about the emperor's news earlier and was in a good mood. When she saw Chen Ao coming to ask her, she couldn't help but say with a stern face: "Why didn't Your Majesty come, but sent you, he is doing a good job."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Your Majesty has just returned, and there are many government officials who are in charge of the emperor. This is true for the family affairs and state affairs are also family affairs. However, I am a free person, so I can come to talk to the Queen Mother. But if I don't like the Queen Mother, I can only say goodbye to avoid the Queen Mother's disgust."
After hearing Chen Ao's explanation, the empress dowager smiled and asked someone to hand over the tea, saying, "The whole of Bianjing knows that your mouth is so powerful, and the Ai family can't argue with you. Have a good drink of tea and say a few words to the Ai family."
Chen Ao sat down, drank tea, praised the taste of the tea, and thought about peace in his heart, but the empress dowager did not speak. Moreover, because of the imperial edict, he decided to talk slowly first.
The Queen Mother said, "Is it fun to accompany His Majesty to tour?"
Of course, Chen Ao didn't dare to say that he was happy, but he couldn't say that he was not fun. He said in a compromise: "It's fun, but after playing too much, he became bored. His Majesty was thinking about the Empress Dowager outside, and the Wei minister thought about the wife at home. If people had something they couldn't let go, no matter how fun it was outside, it would become boring."
The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Your family has seen through it, and she also said that she was thinking about the Ai family, and she looked at His Majesty and the King of Jin. After she came back, one of them was in charge of his national affairs, and the other went to see her princess impatiently. How could she take me, the old woman, to heart." After a change of the subject, she said straight to the point: "Have you read the memorial?"
Chen Ao showed a serious look and said, "Look."
"What did you think?"
Chen Ao raised his eyes and looked at the sarcastic empress dowager flashed in his eyes, took a breath and said, "I am a casual person. It doesn't matter whether he is an official or not. Anyway, your Majesty takes care of you, and there is a little wealth in the family, and no one dares to deceive you. You have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you can feel free to express your love to the mountains and rivers. But I don't understand the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager. Everyone in the world knows that the imperial decree of Your Majesty was ordered by the Empress Dowager to go on a patrol. Why did it become a bad thing? Even if it is a bad thing, why did you issue an imperial decree to inform the world? Isn't this saying that the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager who asked Your Majesty to go on patrol was a disaster for the country and the government? Some things are not known to say or not. This is actually no wonder that the empress dowager is the real initiator. The real initiator is not her. The initiator is a great traitor. Please be careful."
Chen Ao and the Empress Dowager were both victims of the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager. His words did not hide resonate with the empress dowager and sneered: "It is rare that you are willing to say these things to the Ai family out of your heart. The Ai family also knew in their hearts that this matter was encouraged by Wang Fu. A foreign minister would deal with the matter of the palace. The Ai family would deal with him sooner or later. But don't think too simple about the Empress Dowager. Humph, she had already had this idea and wanted to give the Ai family a warning. This trip to the Ai family has lost all their faces and made people laugh at it."
Chen Ao comforted her: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be angry about this. Her body is her own. Just like a Wei minister, isn't anyone teasing her? What's wrong with making fun of her? Wei ministers live more freely than them and more wonderfully. Whoever laughs at her will still be a matter of uncertainty."
"That's right, you are famous for being thick-skinned." The Queen Mother said angrily.
The flattery was slapped on the horse's legs, and Chen Ao stopped talking. It turned out that he wanted to show up and sighed at his mental journey of being teased. As a result, the Empress Dowager choked him to death by saying this sentence, and he couldn't communicate his experience anymore.
"Chen Ao, what did Your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty asked me to avoid suspicion first and take some rest for a while."
Empress Dowager Qinci had a stern face: "Your Majesty is going to be a mud, hum, I know him, he dare not offend the Empress Dowager."
When Chen Ao thought about this, he really felt that Zhao Ji was suspected of being mixed with him, and he said angrily: "Mrs. Don't worry, Empress Dowager. There will always be the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. If Wang dares to cause trouble, I am not easy to mess with."
Thinking that after going out for a walk, the fire in the backyard caused Wang Fu to stumble. Chen Ao was indignant and his anger naturally spread to this bastard.
The Empress Dowager said: "Wang Fu and the Empress Dowager are not good things, so don't complain, just take a break for a few days and find a chance to mourn your family and talk to you."
Chen Ao nodded. Usually, the two were just card friends, but now they have a common enemy, and they are quite stance of sharing the same hatred for the enemy. They comforted each other. Chen Ao also talked about the southern tour. The empress dowager listened absent-mindedly, and Chen Ao asked for boredom and stood up to say goodbye.
The weather is very good today, with bright sunshine. After noon, I walked on the street with warmth. Chen Ao rode his horse back home in the sun and asked, "Where are the madam?"
Mendingdao: "Several ladies are in the back garden, but a man named Tong Hu happened to visit him and he had already been arranged to wait in the hall."
As soon as he arrived in Bianjing, the guest came. Chen Ao was quite surprised. He stretched his waist and said to himself: "Tong Hu? This name is well received. I'll meet him."
When he arrived at the hall, a burly man immediately bounced up from the seat and hurriedly bowed: "I've seen Lord Shen."
Chen Ao smiled bitterly: "Sir? I am no longer an adult anymore. Have you not seen the imperial edict? The imperial edict says that he will be dismissed from office and dismissed from his title, and will never be used."
Tong Hu said: "There will always be tides rising and falling, and adults will come to the court sooner or later."
After Tong Hu explained his purpose, Chen Ao realized that this man was Tong Guan's godson. He asked him to sit down and asked Tong Guan a few casually about him, saying, "Tong Guan reported a great victory in the border town, which solved His Majesty's urgent needs and asked him to relax and that the matter of the situation would not be pursued on him anymore. Besides, Eunuch Tong's hard work and achievements depended on real military achievements. Now the court is employed, and Eunuch Tong's future is limitless."
Tong Hu felt relieved and smiled, "Actually, my father has been fascinated by the adults for a long time, but he just wanted to make friends with me. He asked me to come here today, one was to raise money, and the other was to ask me to meet the adults. If the adults had instructions, they would ask me to go back and convey to my father."
Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "No need."
After saying a few words to Tong Hu, he finally sent him away. Chen Ao returned to the back garden. Over the past year, he had been running around, but he neglected his wives. When several wives saw him come back, their thoughts turned into resentment. Fortunately, Shen Ao had time and comforted him one by one. Finally, the family had dinner in harmony and laughing.
The weather was not hot at this time, and the breeze was blowing at night. The whole family sat in the small hall. Zhou Ruo asked Chen Ao, "Your Majesty, is your official position?"
Chen Aohe nodded: "I didn't say that, but it's similar to that. Anyway, I just wait for the crime at home, but I actually mean sitting at home and having an idle meal."
Tang Moer was afraid that Chen Ao would be depressed, and smiled and said, "It's better to have idle meals. I used to be so busy that I couldn't get to the ground, so it would be better to be at home."
Zhenzhen smiled and said, "My sister is right. Others are officials, wealth and fame, and husbands have nothing to ask for. It is better to be at home."
Chen Ao laughed and said, "It's just my wish, but this official still has to be a lie. It would be fine if I had a desire to retreat, but I was forced to step down this time. If I really became a free-spirited person, wouldn't they let them do it? I wouldn't do such a happy thing. Not only should I treat the official to the end, but I also kick the person who hurt me out of the court."
Zhou Ruo couldn't help laughing. As a wife for the first time, the cold lady used to have a bit more plump and gentle beauty: "You are such a person who refuses to suffer losses. It seems that you have to take all the advantages of the world by yourself before you can rest. Do you have any plans for your husband now? Why don't I go back to my parents' home and talk to my father to see what he can do."
Chen Ao shook his head: "No hurry now, take one step first, take another step, I'm calling it a step back."
That night, Chen Ao slept in Zhenzhen's room, with red candles arriving, and even the room was a little more ambiguous. After a while of clouds and rain, Zhen Zhen curled up in Shen Ao's arms and whispered: "Husband, let's go to Baima Temple to burn incense in a few days."
"What are you going there to do?" Chen Ao pinched Zhenzhen's black hair and stroked her hands, asking casually.
"Of course I'm asking the Bodhisattva for blessing. My husband think about it. The four of us have been kissing you for a year, and we are not good at it. If we can't add children to the Shen family, we really can't be a human being."
Chen Ao was speechless, and then he suddenly became interested in his sexual desire. He smiled and said, "What's the use of asking Gods and worshiping Buddhas? It's more reliable to rely on one's own efforts. As the saying goes, man conquers nature. As long as he has a deep skill, he will grind an iron rod into a needle and work hard, he is afraid that he will not be able to add children?"
He said that he was not honest, and he slid into her clothes and touched her...
………………………………………
When he got up the next morning, the sky started to drizzle again. Chen Ao didn't plan to go out, but when Zhenzhen tied his clothes for him, he suddenly said: "A few days ago, Wu San'er always came to the mansion to inquire. When he came back, he still complained loudly. He didn't know what it was, and he was panicked."
Chen Ao thought of Wu Saner and said, "Oh no, I guess he's a joke."
"Just? What a joke?"
Chen Ao immediately put on his boots and asked someone to take a Dutch oil umbrella brought by Suzhou. He bought a lot of oil umbrellas, all of which were given as specialties. It was enough to deal with the drizzle. He didn't even have breakfast and rushed to Suiyashanfang immediately.
When he arrived at the mansion, he was hitting Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng shouted: "Young Master, do you want to call a car out?"
Chen Ao waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not far away. Go back and tell your wives that I may not come back for lunch."
He rushed to Suiya Mountain House in a hurry. On the open space in front of the mountain house, two figures in straw raincoats faced each other in the rain. One of the petite figures lowered the hat on his head, and drops of rain fell down the edge of the hat, like a rain curtain blocking the view of the clear eyes.
The owner of his eyes didn't care. He held the sword in his hand and did not move at all, like a perfect stone statue standing in the drizzle of the sky.
The man in the straw raincoat opposite looked a little bloated. He stood dullly, his hands trembling, his Adam's apple surging, and holding a kitchen knife in his hand, looking at the petite figure in the rain blankly, swallowing his saliva.
"Senior Wu, when will you pretend?"
"girl……"
"Hmph, don't call me that."
"It's...a female hero..."
The petite man in the straw raincoat was obviously satisfied with this title and did not interrupt him. 'Senior Wu' said with trembling lips: "I am really not a meteor or a butterfly. Not to mention any sword skills, I don't even have kung fu..."
"Hmph, don't do any more show off. I have seen a lot of hermits like you. Humph, I thought I could pass me in just a few words? I've been in the world for dozens of months, how can you hide such a trick from me?"
"Female hero..." The man in the opposite direction begged: "I'm just a businessman."
"Hmph, why do businessmen have wind and frost on their faces?"
"I gave birth to pockmarked son when I was a kid..."
"Why are there calluses on your hands?"
"My family is poor and I have to do farm work since I was a child. Later, when I went to the Duke's Mansion to do odd jobs, I naturally had cocoons."
"Why are you so familiar with your knife..."
"Sometimes the chef in the store is too busy, so I naturally have to help cut the vegetables. After cutting too much, it will be cooked."
"Haha..." A silver bell-like laughter came out in the rain: "When will you still cheat me? If you don't show your true skills today, I will come every day until you tear off the disguise. Senior Wu, look at the trick..."
