Over there, Shen Zhoujin was having breakfast with Emperor Wu Xuan, his master and Huo Lingjue, when someone from outside reported that someone from the Weiwu Hou Mansion wanted to see him.
Shen Zhoujin was very surprised: "Marquis Weiwu? Who is it?"
Because the prince had not slept all night and was sleeping now, there were only four of them in the room.
Huo Lingjue thought about it for a while but didn't remember it. Emperor Wu Xuan hummed: "Xiao Wu."
The battalion soldiers who came to report the news explained to her in a low voice.
It is said that he is a Marquis of Weiwu. In fact, he has no title in this generation. It is just that his ancestor was once a Marquis of Weiwu. It is just nice to say it. Otherwise, it is said to be Niufu. Who knows which Niufu it is.
This is Concubine Xian's natal family, that is, the grandfather's family of the fifth prince Qin Xia. Now Concubine Xian's brother is a fifth-rank official, and he is the most accomplished member of the family.
Shen Zhoujin asked: “What are they here for??”
Yingjun whispered: "It is said to be a New Year gift, but the person who came is Mr. Niu himself."
Tsk, got it.
This is a reason to disturb her. Originally, she was out there, and finding such a reason to have a relationship is considered normal... But tell me, tell me how miserable it is. The emperor is here, and he has caught up with this family. It's really miserable.
Shen Zhoujin gave a happy sound and said, "Let him come in. There is no need for courtesy."
So after a while, Master Niu came in.
Just across a screen, they were still eating, and Shen Zhoujin received him outside.
Mr. Niu is actually not ugly. Although he looks to be in his forties or fifties and a little fat, he still has a decent appearance and a quite honest smile.
As soon as he came in, he saluted repeatedly and said: "I heard that the prince is away on business and must be living in poverty. I packed some small gifts and asked the prince to accept them."
Shen Zhoujin was happy.
This sounds like a person who can't speak.
I think you are lacking, so I brought you this kind of argument, which seems to be the most flattering, but in fact it is not flattering at all.
What should I say when giving a gift? You have to have a step/fig leaf!!
You can say that I have deep admiration for the prince because of something... mention one thing she has done.
Or you can say, after hearing what the people here are doing, I want to do my best, so what do I do...
In short, it's just me who is meddlesome, and I only listen to it for the sake of the people.
Shen Zhoujin said: "No need, I rarely stay at the inn, and I don't need anything if I have it. What's more, we don't know each other. How dare I ask for your attention, sir? Please come back!"
Master Niu said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't be polite. I am a sincere and respectful person."
Shen Zhoujin said: "Thank you sir, but I really don't need it."
The two exchanged a few words, and Lord Niu became anxious and blurted out: "I have come all the way here, how can I bring you back? Please accept it, my lord."
Shen Zhoujin was happy again.
This kind of thing is actually not impossible to say.
But, when this sentence is true, it really cannot be said.
Why should I embarrass myself because of your trouble?
Shen Zhoujin didn't say much, and stood up directly and said: "Come here, send Mr. Niu out. Mr. Niu, please leave Yushan County immediately and don't linger around, otherwise I will report it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Master Niu stared, not daring to say anything more, and was sent out.
Shen Zhoujin went back behind the screen. The three of them had already finished their meal. When they saw each other, they couldn't help laughing. Huo Lingjue said: "It's rare to see such an honest person."
Emperor Wu Xuan also found it funny. After laughing, he frowned and said, "Niu Sheng, you are actually an honest man..."
He only said half a sentence, but Shen Zhoujin and the others understood it.
Master Niu is an honest man, he doesn't have so many ideas, and he obviously doesn't want to come. So, is it the Concubine Xian or the fifth prince who has some ideas, so he must come?
If it is the fifth prince, it is not that the fifth prince does not have a wife, and it is not that he has never run errands. He can send someone else, so it is very likely that the Xian Concubine has an idea.
Huo Lingjue didn't say anything, but Shen Zhoujin said to Emperor Wu Xuan: "Grandpa, you don't need to think about this for a while, really. Although I can't make you live forever, I will definitely let you live a long life. For the above, you just go to the Eternal Mingjun who has been in power the longest."
She always spoke straightforwardly, so Emperor Wu Xuan patted her head and said nothing.
Huo Lingjue accompanied Emperor Wu Xuan for another day and wanted to go back to the palace in the evening. As a result, the little Phoenix had lost herself in the applause of the audience and could not come back. Later, Emperor Wu Xuan agreed and let her go back to the courtiers. After singing, he finally called me back.
After returning, Emperor Wu Xuan did not break his promise and sealed the seal. He invited the officials back and asked Little Phoenix to sing the whole opera for them.
How about we say that everything follows its owner? When Little Phoenix sang to the literati, he was quite devoted anyway, not like a serious bird. But when he sang to the civil and military officials, he acted like he was singing under orders. It's pretty good, but it's not crazy or naughty at all. It has a good image of a magical bird and doesn't lose any of its integrity.
Moreover, Emperor Wu Xuan also asked Little Phoenix to guide Jinyuan Liyuan, and also asked people from Jinyuan Liyuan to guide folk opera troupes.
Little Phoenix became addicted to opera, and from time to time he would pick the officials he liked and go to their homes to sing... After a series of dramas, the spicy little daughter-in-law drama became popular in the capital overnight.
In a few days it will be New Year.
During the sacrifice, Emperor Wu Xuan followed the plan and prayed secretly, and he received the answer of heaven.
This was probably the first time he had such a mysterious and real feeling after getting the Jingzhu. He was very excited. After the year, he wrote three letters to her "Shen Zhoujin personally opens it".
It is worth mentioning that during the banquet, Emperor Wu Xuan found an excuse to repel Concubine Xian. At that time, he did not punish her and just let her go. After the year, she was demoted two levels and became Zhaoyi.
At the same time, the eighth prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, was promoted to a noble concubine.
You know, in the Dasheng harem, people were supposed to be promoted at the end of the year, but there was no move at the end of this year. Everyone thought it was not moving, but they didn't expect that there would be two thunders just after the seal was opened.
Moreover, immediately, the Eighth Prince Qin Yunqiao got the clear decree and went to Shuzhou on errands.
Before leaving, Qin Yunchiao went to see his mother-in-law and advised her to calm down and not have any thoughts. Anyway, he really had no such thoughts and just wanted to be a wise king who could share the worries of his father.
The imperial concubine herself has a gentle and quiet temperament, and she is not the kind of ambitious person. She also regards her son as her god, so she listens to whatever her son says and agrees to everything.
Emperor Wu Xuan was very satisfied with his reward.
Originally, under the current situation, he would have to sit on the throne for at least another twenty or thirty years, so the more clear-headed sons like this, the better.
Things are changing in the capital, and Shen Zhoujin's place is also very busy.
She had many things to do. She had to deliver grain and bricks to the team building the Great Wall, grain seeds to Qin Yunchao, look after He Qingran's team, and usually carve new ones for Guan Jiu. Letter box.
