There are only five days left until one month is up.
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Chi and Lin Weiwei, a couple, were also wandering around the garden hand in hand.
Lu Chi grew a short beard after he was in his thirties. His handsomeness added a bit of the calmness of a mature man. Lin Weiwei was already in his thirties and was well-maintained. There was not even a wrinkle on his face, and he was still delicate.
Beautiful and moving.
"These days, you always frown and look thoughtful." Lin Weiwei's soft voice came into his ears: "Is it because you are worried about your grandfather?"
Lu Chi shook his head slightly: "My grandfather has been the chief minister of three dynasties. He is well versed in the way of being an official and will never anger the emperor directly. The matter of changing the law has also been a foregone conclusion. With my grandfather's temperament, he will do his best.
Do this job properly. There is nothing to worry about."
After a pause, he sighed in a low voice: "What worries me is the emperor's deep meaning after making this move."
"Over the years, Chen Zhan, Zhao Qi and I have often accompanied him. If the emperor has any important orders, he will usually discuss them with us or let him know beforehand."
"But this time, there was no movement at all. That day at the court meeting, not to mention all the officials were shocked, even a few of us were surprised."
"Weiwei, these days, I have been thinking about this matter a lot. The emperor obviously has deep thoughts. This is just the beginning."
Lin Weiwei was in charge of the women's workshop and often visited the palace on weekdays. Empress Xie also held classmates' banquets from time to time. Lu Chijian was in the emperor's heart and was the emperor's confidant. Lin Weiwei was the empress's friend and confidant.
After hearing this, Lin Weiwei said calmly: "Everyone has selfish motives. The emperor and the queen are no exception. They only have one daughter, Princess Aluo, so naturally they have to make plans for her daughter."
Lu Chi stopped and looked at Lin Weiwei steadily.
Lin raised his head slightly, and the couple looked at each other meaningfully.
Lu Chi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after a while he asked, "When did you notice it?"
Lin Weiwei responded in a low voice: "Probably a little earlier than you."
Lu Chi: "..."
Lu Chi was speechless for a moment, rubbed his brow with his hand, and sighed helplessly: "Since you have already sensed the emperor's intention, why didn't you tell me privately?"
Lin Weiwei said: "We have a deep love as husband and wife, and there is no secret. But this matter involves the emperor and empress, and the inheritance of the country. I can neither ask sister Xie personally, nor dare to conclude that what I think is right. How can I do that?
Open my mouth to you?"
"If you hadn't mentioned it today, I still wouldn't have said a word."
…
Lu Chi was silent again.
The night wind blew across my face, bringing a hint of coolness to my face.
Even he, a close confidant of the emperor, found this matter ridiculous and unacceptable. Not to mention other officials in the Qi court? Can thousands of people in the world accept a young girl as a prince and an empress?
This thing is really... really...
Lu Chi is a modest gentleman who doesn't like to use vulgar words, but he couldn't help but cursed at this moment: "Damn it, why did I get on the pirate ship Sheng Hong!"
I've gone up to the top, but I don't think I can get down anymore.
Now that they had figured out the emperor's intentions, the couple could only continue to follow him, making suggestions and sharing worries for the emperor and empress.
Lu Chi couldn't help but cursed again: "What a willful nonsense!"
Lin Weiwei's eyes were extraordinarily bright and eye-catching: "Why are you so willful and mischievous? A'luo is extremely talented, diligent and studious, smart and decisive, far better than boys and girls of the same age."
Why can't Ah Luo be the crown prince?
Why can't I be an empress?
History is created by people. With this kind of heart, anything can be accomplished.
Compared to Lu Chi, who was full of worries, Lin Weiwei's attitude was clear and positive, with a bright light in her eyes: "I think A Luo is very good."
Lu Chi smiled helplessly: "I also know that A'luo is very good. But A'luo is a woman, so the difficulty is much greater than you think..."
"It all depends on people." Lin Weiwei interrupted Lu Chi disapprovingly: "Both the emperor and the queen have their own plans. Maybe they have had this idea for a long time."
Thinking back, there were indeed signs and omens of some things. However, Lu Chi had never thought about it. Once this layer of window paper was pierced, many things would make sense.
Lu Chi lowered his voice and said, "Wei Wei, as long as you and I know this well. We must never mention this to others. Even in front of the queen, we must not speak nonsense."
No matter how good our friendship is, after all there is a difference between king and minister. There are some things that should not be revealed.
Lin Weiwei nodded solemnly in agreement.
…
The next day, the emperor summoned Lu Chi, Chen Zhan and Zhao Qi into the palace.
During these days, the atmosphere in the DPRK was tense and tense, and several cabinet ministers were still locked up...no, they were actively working on errands in the cabinet.
Fortunately for Chen Zhan, Lu Chi and Zhao Qi were thinking about their grandfather and their father, so they had to ask roundabout questions.
"Is there any regulations for amending the law?" Lu Chi asked rather tactfully.
Zhao Qi was more direct: "Yes, it's time to let my father and the others out!"
Lu Chi and Chen Zhan: "..."
Lu Chi, Chen Zhan glanced at the outspoken Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi is also over thirty years old, but his face is smooth and fairer than that of a woman, and he still looks like a handsome young man of twenty. Even his speaking style has not changed. It makes people feel envious and annoyed at the same time.
complex.
"What do you two think of me like that?" Zhao Qi looked back with an innocent face: "My father hasn't been home for many days, and my mother has cried in front of me several times. As a son of a human being, I have to ask questions."
Except for Eunuch Wei and the guards who were waiting beside him, the emperor and the three of them were the only ones left in the Yiqing Palace. There was no need to worry so much about speaking.
Sheng Hong smiled casually and said: "Don't worry, the one-month period is coming soon. I will send some elders back home."
Zhao Qisong sighed: "That's good. I will tell my mother when I return home today, so that she won't have to cry and wipe her tears in front of me."
What he said made even Lu Chi and Chen Zhan feel embarrassed for the emperor.
Sheng Hong was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "I'm just leaving a few pavilion elders to stay in the palace for a while. There's nothing to worry about. Mrs. Zhao is too timid."
As expected of a man sitting on the dragon's throne, his face is as thick as a city wall.
The three of them secretly cursed in their hearts.
After chatting for a while, they started discussing political matters. They were busy for half a day, and the emperor left them to have lunch in Yiqing Hall.
When Zhao Qi left the palace and returned home, Mrs. Zhao waited for half a day and then asked: "When will your father come back?"
Zhao Qi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, mother. I asked the emperor today that my father will be able to return home in a few days."
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and cried again.
A few days later, the January period arrived.
Several cabinet ministers jointly submitted a several-page document on amending the law and its specific implementation.
