Shen Junzhuo was shocked by his words. What didn't he know? What could be called a great joy?
Seeing that he was confused, Emperor Zhao was even more happy. He couldn't help but cough. After a violent cough, Emperor Zhao punched him on the shoulder and said:
"I have to thank Shen Qing for this good thing. If Shen Qing hadn't chosen a concubine like Cheng Meiren for me, how could any good thing have happened?"
Shen Junzhuo seemed to understand, but was a little confused. No wonder Cheng Pengju's daughter rose from a talented person to a beauty in a short period of time. But there was still something unreasonable about it, so he could only continue to be confused and asked:
"Please ask the officials to help me clarify my doubts!"
Emperor Zhao burst out laughing. At the end of his laughter, he coughed as usual, but this did not affect his good mood at all. He patted Shen Junzhuo on the shoulder and said:
"You haven't gotten married yet, so you don't understand these things! You can always understand that this beauty is getting married. This is really a great joy for me!"
Shen Junzhuo suddenly realized that this was the case. After the palace incident, no good news came out of the entire harem for many years. If Cheng Meiren was really pregnant, it would really be good news for the entire Dacheng Dynasty. However, he still had some doubts. Those imperial doctors Although they didn't say it explicitly, they told him in their words that the reason for the calm in the harem was not the concubines, but the emperor's problem.
Seeing that Emperor Zhao was so happy, he couldn't say these words, so he could only hold them in his stomach. He bowed respectfully to Emperor Zhao and said loudly:
"Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family!"
Emperor Zhao quickly stepped forward to pull him up, took his hand and said:
"Shen Qing also has merit, Shen Qing also has merit!" Shen Junzhuo didn't say it, but he was not very happy in his heart. Your concubine is pregnant, what do you do to me?
For a moment, the monarch and his ministers were chatting happily, but as the topic continued, it would turn to the prime minister again.
Emperor Zhao said:
"Shen Qing looked at the memorials that came before the imperial court. Each one of them had passed through the hands of the Prime Minister first. I can't see what the Prime Minister doesn't want me to see. I can only see what the Prime Minister wants me to see... ...Shen Qing, tell me, is he in charge of this emperor or am I?"
Shen Junzhuo took a look at the dusty memorials and thought to himself that you came to read them today because you were happy. When you were unhappy, the memorials piled up into a mountain without you even looking through them. In this case, Why do you still lament that the memorial is not enough? After thinking about it, he said:
"The official's priority is to protect the dragon's body. It won't be too late to consider how to deal with these matters after your holy body is in peace."
Emperor Zhao thought for a while and seemed to be convinced by Shen Junzhuo, saying:
"You're right. It's the truth. Nothing is as important as me."
After saying that, he suddenly became interested again and said:
"Why is Shen Qing still alone? Just tell me which girl you have fallen in love with, and I will grant you a marriage right now!"
Shen Junzhuo was confused when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"I would like to thank the officials for their kindness, but I cannot request an order for the time being. If the officials are determined to fulfill my wishes, I hope they will wait a little longer."
Emperor Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Is this a joke? Otherwise, why didn't he just say no? He couldn't help but ask again:
"Tell me which girl it is, but don't let me mess up the story and point out your girl to others."
Shen Junzhuo thought for a while and felt that a daughter of a governor far away in Yongzhou could not fall into the eyes of Emperor Zhao, so he said:
"The person I'm interested in doesn't have a great background. I'd like to worry about it. I won't be too late to ask for your favor after I've inquired properly."
Emperor Zhao's face was full of disbelief. Why hadn't he told the girl yet? Will Shen Junzhuo be rejected one day? He wanted to watch a show in his heart, but this kind of expression was not suitable to appear on his face, so he thought about it.
Thinking about it, he patted his belly, which was not very fat, and said:
