Chapter 216 Concentration of Sovereign Power(1/2)
Here, Shao She watched the prince leave, Zhang Derong came out and urged: "Mr. Shao, Your Majesty announces you to go in."
"Oh?" Shao She agreed, hurriedly walked in, and saw Emperor Zhou, kneeled down to salute.
Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "Shao Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, thanks all the way."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shao She said as she stood up, "I heard that Your Majesty is unwell and I dare not disturb you..."
Emperor Zhou smiled and stood up and said, "Did I hear less of these irrelevant empirical words? I'm summoning you not to listen to such nonsense."
Shao She also smiled. Seeing that all the eunuchs were serving outside, he immediately reached out and helped Emperor Zhou to smile and said, "What does Your Majesty want to hear?"
"Just now-------- are you outside?" asked Emperor Zhou, "You have heard what Wei'er said?"
"Yes!" Shao She did not hide it and nodded directly.
"What do you say?" asked Emperor Zhou.
Shao She thought for a while, turned around and looked at the warm cabinet inside, and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please let the master come out and talk together." Emperor Zhou took Shao Shuhuan over, but now he didn't hear him go anywhere else, so there was almost no need to guess. He also understood that Shao Shuhuan was inside.
Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you. Shuhuan, come out!"
Shao Shuhuan walked out slowly and bowed to Shao She and said, "Shuhuan has met his father." As he said that, he came over and helped Emperor Zhou sit down. He poured tea himself and gave it to him.
Emperor Zhou took it and said with a smile: "Shouhuan and Funzhi City, sit down. This is not the Taihe Palace. There is no need to be polite."
"Yes!" Both of them were busy agreeing. Shao Shuhuan sat down beside him. However, Shao She sat sideways with his head and asked with a smile. "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said, "Don't let it go. I know what you are going to say. You put this mess down. You say it yourself----What should we do?"
Shao She looked at Shao Shuhuan, lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and then said, "I don't know either."
"There are many memorials in impeachment for this matter these days. I have not sent any comments." Emperor Zhou said. "Why are you doing this?"
Shao She shook his head and said nothing. He really didn't know how to make this awkward topic, especially in front of Shao Shuhuan.
"I heard that you betrothed your girl to the son of Wu Junzhuo?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Emperor Zhou understood what he didn't want to say, so he asked differently.
Shao She nodded and smiled, "This time I went to Nanxia. When I met Military Commander Wu, I decided to talk about the marriage between my children."
"That's fine. It's just the princess of the Southern Xia Kingdom? How about it?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"No, he is pretty." Shao She smiled.
"How is your temperament?" Emperor Zhou asked again.
"This..." Shao She smiled deliberately, "What should you say to me when you ask me?"
Shao Shuhuan was curious, did Emperor Zhou not know the origin of Lu Wushuang, and did not know that he was once the top card of Bishuiting? Thinking of waiting for the wedding night, the second prince suddenly discovered that the princess of Nanxia Kingdom was actually the top card of Bishuiting. He didn't know what surprise he was. He thought about it and smiled involuntarily.
"What are Shuhuan laughing at?" asked Emperor Zhou, "I am not a princess in Nanxia. If you like it..."
"No...no!" Shao Shuhuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. Shuhuan will explain to Your Majesty later." As he said, he saw Shao Shetou giving him a warning look, and he was even more puzzled. Could Emperor Zhou really not know the origin of Lu Wushuang?
The brothel woman transformed into a dignified princess of the South Xia Kingdom? What is it a bit ridiculous to say?
"Shuhuan. You are shouting bored along the way. Now that you are back, why don't you go to the Imperial Garden to relax?" Shao She suddenly smiled, "Along the way, you are so bored."
Shao Shuhuan was stunned. It was obvious that Shao She and the others spoke to Emperor Zhou later, and did not want him to know, so they sent him away. Emperor Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Since that's the case, Shuhuan went out for a walk. The weather is good today, and the chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming just in time."
"Since that's the case, Shuhuan will leave first." As he said that, he stood up and saluted the two of them, left Jingyang Palace, supported Wang Tai, and walked towards the Imperial Garden at will.
"Don't let it go, what are you going to say?" Emperor Zhou didn't understand what Shao She meant, and asked with a frown.
Shao She sighed deeply and whispered: "I've been to Nanxia this time and met Murphy..."
Emperor Zhou said: "You are my envoy of the Great Zhou Kingdom, so you should be able to see him."
Shao She shook his head slightly and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, I always feel something is wrong when I come back from Nanxia Country this time..."
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou asked in confusion, "Why is something wrong?"
"It's Murphy's attitude towards Shuhuan and me." Shao She frowned.
"What do you say?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"When he was arrested, he was indeed a little wronged. However, when he arrived in Chang'an City, Murphy did not feel wronged. He lived in Qingyao City..." Shao She said with a wry smile.
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou frowned and asked, "What else?"
"He is in the South Xia Kingdom and even reviewing memorials..." Shao She frowned, "I just can't figure out what Murphy is going to do?"
"What...what?" Emperor Zhou could not believe his ears and asked for a long time, "Really?"
Shao She nodded slowly and said, "How dare I joke about such a big thing?"
"What did Shuhuan say?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"He said nothing." Shao She shook his head and sighed, "You know, this child will not talk to me even if he has something to do."
"What does this madman want to do?" Emperor Zhou walked back and forth two steps in the room and asked with a frown.
"I don't know either." Shao She said.
Emperor Zhou pondered silently, Shao She frowned, stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty---"
"Well, what do Jinzhi want to say?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Now that Shu Huan has returned, can Your Majesty let the child go?" Shao She said hurriedly. Shao Ting was still in his hands, and he was always worried.
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou laughed deliberately, "I almost forgot it. Shuhuan will go back later? I will ask Shuhuan to take him back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shao She said.
"Thank you, please spare me. I will go to the morning court tomorrow. Shao Aiqing will help me deal with this messy matter." Emperor Zhou said.
"Your Majesty. I just came back from Nanxia-----" Shao She said. Why did you say that the car was exhausted along the way, and you would also give him a few days off to reward him?
"You just came back from Nanxia Kingdom. Do you want me to reward you? You deserve it." Emperor Zhou said bluntly.
Shao She lowered her head and said nothing. It’s just a reward, but now it’s time to clean up the messy stall?
But when Shao Shuhuan went out, there was an artificial lake in the imperial garden, named Daming Lake. There were flower rockery on both sides of the lake, which was exquisite and transparent. Now it was dusk and slanted westward. In early winter, it was not too cold. There were still some flowers by the lake, and of course the most was chrysanthemums.
Shao Shuhuan found a shelter. He sat down on a stone casually and stared at the lake in a daze--Shao She wanted to say to Emperor Zhou, why did he send him away? If possible, he naturally wanted to eavesdrop. But Jingyang Palace has many inner guards, not to mention that there are many eunuchs, even those little eunuchs are not fuel-eliminating lamps. Where can they eavesdrop on eavesdropping?
He casually threw a pebbles into the lake and stared at the ripples in the lake. What the prince said just now is not unreasonable. Why did Emperor Zhou confirm that he was the biological flesh and blood of Empress Shuhuan and his place when he saw him at first sight?
What an embarrassing question.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Behind him, Wang Tai and a few eunuchs who followed him came to greet you.
Shao Shuhuan turned around and saw the prince walking towards him with a few people. Helplessly, he could only stand up and bow to the prince and bow to him and said, "I have seen His Highness the Prince."
"No gifts!" The prince smiled and walked to Shao Shuhuan and asked, "Why are you still wandering around the garden at this time?"
"He was driven out." Shao Shuhuan smiled.
The prince was surprised and asked in confusion: "Who dares to drive you out?"
"Who else can be there besides Lingzun?" Shao Shuhuan said with a wry smile.
"Father?" the prince asked with a smile, and while sitting down on the stone he had just sat down, he signaled him to sit down as well.
Shao Shuhuan was not polite to him, and sat down beside him. The prince smiled and asked, "Why did Father drive you out? If Father drives me out, it would be fine. It's unlikely to drive you out... isn't it?"
"Nothing!" Shao Shuhuan smiled and shook his head, "He discussed state affairs with the ministers, and I was inconvenient for me to be present."
When the prince heard this, he misunderstood. He was secretly happy and said with a smile: "That's right---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Shao Shuhuan heard this, he also sneered secretly, and wanted to mess with his words, he was dreaming. He immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is joking. I am just a prisoner in Nanxia. Where can I look at the customs and folk customs above?"
"I have been wronged by you these days!" the prince sighed, "Luckily you are back."
Shao Shuhuan said in his heart: "Are you just hoping that I will not come back for the rest of my life?" But he smiled and said, "That's it."
Both of them seemed to feel that this was an embarrassing topic. The prince pondered for a while and asked ambiguously: "Mr. Shao, did you meet the princess of Nanxia?"
"Well..." Shao Shuhuan smiled, "I've been lucky enough to see you once all the way."
The prince approached him and asked, "Are you beautiful?"
"Very pretty!" Shao Shuhuan said with a smile.
"It's cheap..." The prince laughed and laughed.
Shao Shuhuan also nodded repeatedly, and smiled in agreement. He pondered for a while, and asked deliberately in a low voice: "If Your Highness the Crown Prince likes..."
The prince hurriedly said, "You don't know, I already have a princess now... it's your sister."
Shao Shuhuan naturally knew that Shao Zhu, the eldest daughter of the Shao family, married the prince of the East Palace as her concubine, but because of this, he was even more confused and asked deliberately: "My sister?"
"Yes, Lord Shao hasn't told you?" the prince smiled, "We have seen each other several times since we were young, haha... you probably don't know that my enlightenment teacher is Lord Shao."
Shao Shuhuan was stunned for a while, but he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. The prince’s enlightenment teacher turned out to be Shao She…
"Young Master Shao, what's wrong with you?" The prince asked when he saw that he was silent for a long time.
"Nothing!" Shao Shuhuan shook his head and said, "Maybe he's been rushing for days and is a little tired."
"Oh... Master Shao, Mr. Shao has always been good? I think I'm going to be tired of it." The prince smiled, "When I was a child, I often saw him. Since I was made the prince, it would be better to see him than before."
"It's pretty healthy!" Shao Shuhuan smiled, but he said in his heart, "To bring me down, you have to drag him into the water, but who do you say such words at this time?"
"If you see Lord Shao, say hello to me." The prince smiled and stood up and said, "I have something to do. I'm going back first. If you have time, come to the East Palace to have fun."
