Under the gaze of the crowd, Suisui went to the clean room alone, like a little adult.

When Changle saw her mother looking at her, she shook her head and prepared to run away.

"Stop! Mother will not pursue the fact that you did not return to the palace yesterday. Tell me, who is the uncle Nangong that Suisui mentioned?"

"Mother, I, I really don't know."

Yonghe glanced at Changle, "You forgot, it seems to be the man who lives next door to Jiang's mansion."

Changle thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, he lives next door to Sister Jiang. He is very good to Suisui. Maybe he will be Sister Jiang's husband in the future."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense."

The Queen Mother glared at Changle and turned to look at Aunt Cai, "Invite that Cui Mama tomorrow. You are reluctant to be strict. If this child is not restrained, she may not be able to get married in the future."

"Who said I want to get married? I won't marry if the emperor brother can support me for a lifetime." Changle raised her chin and said nonchalantly.

"My queen, Madam Cui is serious and the princess doesn't like her. This matter..." Aunt Cai winked at Changle.

"Mother, you are old, won't you dislike Yun'er?" Changle put away her stubborn temper and threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms, pouting her lips and acting coquettishly.

This trick worked every time. The Queen Mother couldn't help but hugged Changle and pinched her cheeks, "Think before you speak in the future, don't be so noisy, otherwise I will hand you over to the emperor."

Changle was startled, "No, no, no, Aunt Cai taught me the rules well, I will learn them well tomorrow."

After the court was dismissed in the morning, officials came to the imperial study one after another.

Seeing that the memorials on the imperial desk were piled up like a mountain, Xiao Jingzhao ordered Eunuch Ma, "Go and call Lin Xiangzhi to come and talk."

Eunuch Ma bowed and left.

Outside the window, a ray of sunset shone into the room through the window, and a beam of light happened to fall on a roll of brocade on the side of the imperial desk. The soft light and shadow reflected his extraordinary handsome profile. The palace maids serving at the door of the palace dared to secretly take a few glances.

After being busy for most of the day, Xiao Jingzhao felt tired and closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows.

"Seek an audience with the deputy commander."

A report came from the door.

"Come in."

A clear and magnetic voice sounded in the room.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, just wait to send it tomorrow." Xiangyang walked into the room and couldn't wait to report.

"It's not appropriate for the Jinyiwei to deal with this matter. We should hand it over to the Ministry of Rites. It will be more formal if someone from the Ministry of Rites delivers it."

Xiang Yang listened to the emperor's instructions seriously, but secretly complained in his heart: "What's the point of sending a plaque? Nangong Zeyue has already become the shopkeeper."

Seeing that Xiang Yang seemed distracted, Xiao Jingzhao raised his voice several degrees and asked: "Do you understand?"

"I understand. With the plaque personally bestowed by the emperor, Miss Jiang's business will surely flourish. If the girl's business is good, her mood will naturally be good. If she is in a good mood, she will naturally be happy with the emperor..."

Before Xiang Yang finished speaking, he felt a chill staring at him.

When he raised his head, he saw the emperor turned his head to look at the memorial in front of him.

Xiangyang said hurriedly, "I'll go to the Ministry of Rites right away."

After leaving the imperial study, Xiangyang raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, "You're too talkative. How can I guess the master's mind blindly?"

"Deputy Commander Xiang, why did you slap yourself?"

Lin Xiangzhi came towards him and saw Xiangyang's funny action, and couldn't help asking with a smile.

Xiangyang touched his face and smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, you're wrong. I was hitting a mosquito."

"Are the mosquitoes in the imperial study very powerful? The kind that can eat a lot of your blood with one bite?" Lin Xiangzhi asked seriously, but his tone was full of joking.

Xiangyang's mouth twitched, "Mr. Lin, you're joking. There are no mosquitoes that big."

At this time of year, the climate in Yannan is warm, and it is normal to see mosquitoes occasionally.

But the climate in the capital is already autumn windy, where can you see any trace of mosquitoes?

Seeing Xiangyang leaving in a hurry, Lin Xiangzhi held back his laughter and entered the imperial study.

"You got the eighth place in the exam, which is quite auspicious?" Xiao Jingzhao put down his wolf hair brush and pointed at the chair opposite.

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't tell whether the emperor was teasing or praising.

He glanced at the more than one-foot-high memorial, coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This eighth place was obtained with the help of your majesty."

If the emperor hadn't shown him a few policy papers, he might not even be able to pass the exam with the eighteenth place. Lin Xiangzhi knew it clearly in his heart.

Xiao Jingzhao took out the memorial from the Ministry of Revenue from the desk and handed it over, "There is no need to discuss the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for the time being. Just do your work in the Ministry of Revenue."

Lin Xiangzhi knew that the emperor had never given him a seat in vain.

Or it could be said that since he was a child, he had never gotten any advantage in front of Xiao Jingzhao.

He cursed inwardly that he was a black-hearted person, but he still sat down honestly.

"Your Majesty, have you heard that the Juxian Pavilion in the capital will open tomorrow? The real university scholar has reserved several tables in the restaurant to celebrate Jing Xiu. Guess who is the boss behind the restaurant?"

Xiao Jingzhao looked at Lin Xiangyi meaningfully, "Who cares who he is? You should deal with these memorials today, and it won't delay your attendance at the banquet tomorrow."

Xiao Jingzhao sat and read the news from Yannan. The border war was about to break out, and there were letters from Yannan every other day.

The secret letter he sent by the envoy had not yet arrived in Liang State, and the soldiers sent to the border were about to arrive in Yannan. Liang State learned that Yannan sent a large group of people to go there.

Now it was time to stand still and observe Wanling's strength. Soldiers from both sides were encamped at the border and were in a stalemate.

After dealing with the important matters, Xiao Jingzhao told Eunuch Ma: "I will ask the imperial kitchen to bring dinner to Mr. Lin later. You will stay and wait for me. I will be back soon."

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

One of the prime ministers was nervous when he heard that the emperor left him alone in the imperial study. The imperial study was such an important place, but the emperor actually left him here.

Xiao Jingzhao smiled with a smile on his face. He raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Cining Palace, "I'm going to see someone."

Xiao Jingzhao left briskly, leaving Lin Xianzhi and Ma Eunuch looking at each other.

Seeing Lin Xiangzhi looking at him, Ma Eunuch bowed and said, "I will make tea for you."

Only later did Prime Minister Lin find out that the emperor had deceived him by saying he would be back soon.

As soon as Xiao Jingzhao entered the gate of Cining Palace, he heard laughter and laughter coming from the room.

"Every year, read another poem to grandma."

"Sui Sui, open your mouth, take a bite of pineapple cake and then recite."

"Sui Sui, you play with it. This night pearl shines brightly. It will hang on your bedside tonight."

When Xiao Jingzhao walked into the hall, he saw Sui Sui sitting on his mother's knees. Yonghe and Changle were holding food, and the other was holding night pearls surrounding Sui Sui.

A group of palace maids and Aunt Cai were waiting on the side. The whole boy was surrounded by stars, and his little face was smiling like a flower.

"Sui Sui."

Hearing Xiao Jingzhao's voice, he slid off the Queen Mother's knees and rushed over with his short legs, "Daddy!"
