While speaking, Prime Minister Duan, who had been pretending to be ill, wiped off the white spots on his face and staggered out with the support of Butler Li.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was here, so I missed you from afar. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"
Jun Yan'an glanced at Prime Minister Duan and said with a half-smile: "Prime Minister, you don't have to be polite! The Prime Minister is ill and even the imperial doctor is helpless. How can I care about such trivial matters with the Prime Minister?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Originally, he was worried that Duan Qingyao would expose him for pretending to be ill in front of the prince, but now it seems that he has thought too much.
"I have truthfully stated to the Emperor that the Emperor is considerate of the Prime Minister's old age and frailty, and has allowed the Prime Minister to retire and return to his hometown!"
As soon as Jun Yanan finished speaking, Prime Minister Duan was so shocked that he forgot that he was still seriously ill and knelt on the ground with a plop.
He has worked hard for most of his life and finally climbed to the high position of prime minister. Now that he is enjoying all the glory and wealth, how can he be willing to step down from this position?
If he, who is nearly sixty years old, retires and returns to his hometown at this moment, unable to carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands, then he will really become a useless old man who is despised by everyone!
"Replying to the prince, I just caught a cold and caught a cold temporarily! There is nothing serious in my body! Serving the court wholeheartedly is my greatest wish. No matter how hard it is, I will not feel tired!"
At first, his voice was as angry as a gossamer, but now his voice has raised a tone. It is not an exaggeration to say that his voice is like a roaring bell. Jieli website m.

Duan Qingyao sneered and asked humbly: "I don't know what magic elixir you took, and you were cured all of a sudden? When I was in the room just now, I clearly saw that your face was as pale as a white face, and you were as angry as a gossamer.
I don’t even have the strength to speak!”
Prime Minister Duan's face turned red and purple for a while. In addition, he had just washed his face in a hurry and not all the white spots on his face were wiped off. At first glance, it looked like a palette.
"The princess is really good at joking! There is no panacea. But seeing that the prince and the princess took the trouble to come to visit, I was really touched. Even if I only breathe my last breath, don't I have to cheer up and thank you?"
"
Jiang is still old and spicy, and the hole dug by Duan Qingyao was easily avoided by Prime Minister Duan.
"Your Excellency is so sincere in expressing gratitude. How can you just say it with just words? Why don't you give me something?"
Duan Qingyao never forgot the main purpose of his coming.
"What is it? Whatever the Duan family has, even if the princess takes it away, I will never say no!"
As long as he can ease the father-daughter relationship with Duan Qingyao, as long as he can establish a relationship with Prince An's Mansion, let alone one thing, even if it is a hundred things, even if Duan Qingyao falls in love with this Prime Minister's Mansion, he will not hesitate to offer it with both hands.
superior!
"Since the Prime Minister said so, I won't be polite! I want my mother's tablet!"
Duan Qingyao said sonorously and forcefully, but every word and every sentence was like a hammer hitting Prime Minister Duan's head, making his head buzz.
Prime Minister Duan is not stupid, Duan Qingyao wants to take away her last thoughts from the Duan family.
If he really agrees to Duan Qingyao's request, I'm afraid she will never step foot into Duan's house from now on.
"Are you kidding me, Princess? Apart from this, I will never refuse anything else that Princess sets her sights on!"
After careful consideration, Prime Minister Duan politely rejected Duan Qingyao's request.
However, in Duan's mansion, except for her mother's memorial tablet, she didn't look down on anything else!
"Except for my mother's memorial tablet, I don't want anything else! Could it be that the prince is reluctant to part with it?"
Before Duan Qingyao came, she had expected that the Prime Minister would not return the tablet to her so easily, but even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would still fight for it!
"Of course not! It's just that she is your mother and also Chen's concubine. Since ancient times, when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog! Since your mother married Chen, she will be a member of the Duan family in life and death.
He’s also a ghost of the Duan family! There’s no reason to go to my daughter’s house!”
Prime Minister Duan was still a little guilty at first, but the more he talked, the more he felt justified, and he couldn't help but straighten his back.
"You still mean to say that my mother is yours? How many times have you seen my mother when she was alive?"
When Duan Qingyao thinks about her mother's life, she feels that women's lives are really miserable.
First, she was possessed by the Prime Minister and was forced to become his concubine.
He gave birth to children, but in the end, the prime minister took a younger and more beautiful concubine.
As for the old person, let her fend for herself!
My mother had suffered and cried all her life, and the last words she gave her before her death were that no matter how hard it was to be a cow or a horse, she didn’t want to be a concubine!
She almost thought that if she agreed to be Jun Yan'an's concubine, she would be failing her mother's high expectations.
Fortunately, Jun Yanan did not ask her to be his concubine!
Perhaps, this is what her mother is blessing her from in heaven!
"Since I am here today, I should offer incense sticks to the princess's mother and kowtow. The Prime Minister will not disagree, right?"
Jun Yanan looked at Prime Minister Duan calmly, looking sincere.
"No! No!"
Prime Minister Duan bit the bullet and agreed.
"Steward Li, why don't you lead the way?"
Logically speaking, as a concubine, you cannot enter the family's ancestral hall.
But after all, Mrs. Fang gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Duan family. Since ancient times, mothers have been valued based on their sons. Even if Mrs. Fang is a concubine, she is still a concubine!
"Is this how the Prime Minister treats my mother? Aren't you afraid that your mother will turn into a ghost and come to settle accounts with you?"
As soon as she entered the ancestral hall, Duan Qingyao looked for her mother's tablet among the tablets.
But among the standing tablets, she looked from the left to the right, and from the right to the left, but she didn't see her mother's tablet.
Finally, Jun Yanan, who was still sharp-eyed, found an overturned and dusty tablet in the corner.
Duan Qingyao rushed forward, desperately wiping off the dust on the tablet, and suddenly saw the word "Fang" written on the tablet.
Prime Minister Duan was left speechless by the questioning!
"Prime Minister, this is your fault. I have no control over what happened in the past! But now, no matter what, she is also the princess's mother, right?"
"Yes! The prince has taught you a lesson!"
Prime Minister Duan, who sensed the crisis, had stars in his eyes and felt that all the nerves in his body were tense!
"Butler Li, what on earth is going on?"
"Sir, the ancestral hall has always been taken care of by the wife, and the servants don't know about it either!"
Some pots can be carried, but Butler Li would never dare to carry such a big pot!
"Since the Duan family can't even accommodate a memorial tablet, why not take it away for me?"
