The emperor who heard Zhuang Mingyue's words smiled slightly, and then looked over with a little doubt.

"Oh? Is it really that magical? Then why can't it be presented today, and why should it be determined that tomorrow will be? ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who was just suddenly recalled, not deliberately concealed or invited merit, raised her eyes and chuckled at the emperor, "It's not that Mingyue wants to invite merit tomorrow, it's just that the food I ate in Jiangnan when I went down to Jiangnan some time ago, and I suddenly realized it, and now I haven't tried it yet, so I still need to go home and try it." ”

Seeing Zhuang Mingyue say this, the emperor will also understand that Zhuang Mingyue is not something that can be hidden, but because he has not really done it now, he will mention it like this until tomorrow.

The emperor did not mention much about this, but continued to talk to her about the great drought.

Whenever the emperor talked to Zhuang Mingyue about government affairs, it could be said that he forgot to sleep and eat, until Liufu outside the house saw that the two of them had missed dinner, and the time was still quite long, so he was bold enough to go in and let the two of them eat.

"Knock knock." With a knock on the door, Lukfook pushed open the door and walked in, bowing his head and saluting the two of them, "Your Majesty, it's past time, it's time for you to eat." ”

The emperor, who was chatting with Zhuang Mingyue, couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard Liufu's words, but when he raised his eyes to look in the direction of Liufu, he saw that it was already night outside.

At this point, when it came to the emperor of political affairs, he realized that the time for dinner had already passed, and Zhuang Mingyue in front of him had not yet eaten.

The emperor, who eased his brows, raised his hand and waved lightly to Liufu, "Order someone to prepare some light meals, and Mingyue will eat with me today." ”

When the emperor spoke, Zhuang Mingyue had already planned to retire and leave, but she didn't expect that the emperor would ask her to stay and dine together.

Sensing Zhuang Mingyue's surprised look, the emperor's eyebrows were dyed with a little mildness, "Although I will only make you the county lord tomorrow, this dinner can be regarded as a family banquet to recognize you as my niece." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who really never thought that the emperor would do this, immediately stood up after a moment of trance, raised her right hand and clasped her hands, and saluted the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"There's no need to be so polite, you'll be my niece after tomorrow, and the county lord shelf that should be there is indispensable, do you know?" The emperor's gentle gaze looked at the person in front of him with some determination.

Zhuang Mingyue, who was staring at her, instantly understood that the emperor deliberately wanted to mention the reason for giving her the canonization in the early court, and why he had to let her go to the court tomorrow to accept this canonical gift.

"Yes, Mingyue knows, and tomorrow will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Zhuang Mingyue, who heard the meaning of the emperor's words, once again blessed the posture with a faint sense of arrogance.

But after she finished the blessing, she changed to her usual faint smile again, "Your Majesty's words Mingyue will naturally remember, but it is more comfortable to have this posture in front of Your Majesty." ”

Compared with Zhuang Mingyue's somewhat arrogant posture just now, the emperor naturally feels that this posture is more comfortable to get along with.

In the emperor

In his heart, he didn't know why, he would be so tolerant and generous to this somewhat eccentric little girl in front of him.

said her sensitive and intelligent words in this court political affairs, with his usual character, he would not let go because she didn't like this kind of life, and when she mentioned that she wanted to resign, she didn't do too much to keep it, or even let it go without being annoyed.

And what he said was from Zhuang Mingyue, who was the same age as his precious daughter, but it was not true.

After all, in the end, he is also the king of a country.

Don't say that Zhuang Mingyue is at this age, she is just a girl who has just come out of the cabinet, and there are many people who want to stuff them into the emperor's harem.

So in the final analysis, the emperor has never figured out why he treats Zhuang Mingyue with such a tolerant attitude.

But in general, although Zhuang Mingyue has resigned now, and has expressed her intention to be an official again. Then he used this way to tie Zhuang Mingyue to his side, so that he could enter and leave the palace freely.

Zhuang Mingyue's talent, he really shouldn't have been bound in the palace. But he didn't want Zhuang Mingyue's ability to handle political affairs to be given up by him like this, otherwise it would be a big loss.

At this moment, Zhuang Mingyue didn't know that while she had many thoughts in her heart, the emperor in front of her, who looked calm and smiled gently, also had his own thoughts.

In the hot summer of Tiansheng National Capital, the first sun has always risen earlier, and naturally the early dynasty time is earlier than the winter.

By the time the sun had just climbed into the air, the hazy mist of the early morning had disappeared, replaced by a faintly hot temperature that had been scattered on the bluestone slabs.

Xu is because of the hot weather now, and the court clothes are still robes, which will look stuffy, which makes the ministers who go to the court seem to be in a hurry.

"Master Zhuang?! You...... What are you? ”

Just when a group of people hurried to the court against the sun, they suddenly heard the exclamation of a man, coupled with the name of the person he called, which immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

Zhuang Mingyue, who was walking slowly behind everyone, looked at the people who were still walking in front of him after the exclamations of the people around her, and they all cast their eyes over, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lord Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay recently?" Zhuang Mingyue's calm and calm attitude was as if she was a person above the court.

If it weren't for everyone to know that Zhuang Mingyue voluntarily resigned from her official position, Zhuang Mingyue, who saw this appearance at this moment, would only think that she would really think that she was coming to the court as usual like them.

Master Qi, who was given a thousand pounds by Zhuang Mingyue and sent the topic back, looked at Zhuang Mingyue's smiling appearance, but obviously didn't want to answer.

The smile on his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "Thanks to Lord Zhuang, the petty official has been okay recently." ”

The official surnamed Sun, who was walking in front of him, looked at Zhuang Mingyue's appearance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he directly raised his feet and walked in the direction of Zhuang Mingyue without hesitation.

"Lord Zhuang? Now that this is the time of the early dynasty, Lord Zhuang has never worn court clothes like this, but he has come to the early dynasty, is it ......"

When Lord Sun said this, both in his eyes and in his tone, there was a strong sense of sarcasm.

Especially when the title "Lord Zhuang" was mentioned in the words, the uncontrollable sense of sarcasm made Zhuang Mingyue feel extremely funny.

"Lord Sun has been promoted, and now that I have already resigned, how can I still be responsible for Lord Sun calling me 'Lord Zhuang'?" Also when mentioning Lord Zhuang. Zhuang Mingyue, who deliberately replied with Master Sun's sarcastic tone and appearance, couldn't stop sneering with the smile on the corner of her mouth.

If she had to keep a low profile because she was just qualified for the position of the third grade before, so as to avoid the black hands of these officials who maintained a hostile state towards her.

Then now she is not an official at all, there is no conflict of interests, and the words that the emperor said to her yesterday made Zhuang Mingyue feel that she could use the attitude of the other party to treat her and pay tribute to the past.

After all, only after she made the other party angry, she was able to let the other party mock her and watch her become the county lord by the emperor with her own eyes.

And these people who had ridiculed her, she really wanted to see their stunned looks, and even because of her new identity, she was overly panicked.

In thinking like this, Zhuang Mingyue also saw with her own eyes that Master Sun who was scolded back by her, just as she thought, her face suddenly changed.

However, the other party's reaction ability was beyond his expectations, and he quickly suppressed the expression that changed in an instant, "Yes! Now that Lord Zhuang has resigned, he can still enter and exit the palace like this today, so it seems that Lord Zhuang has something important to come to the early dynasty this time! ”

Zhuang Mingyue just maintained that faint appearance from beginning to end, "Why did Master Sun suddenly become so interested in my affairs?" It's just that it's not convenient to talk about it now, and if you think you'll know about it later, Master Sun will know. ”

After saying this, Zhuang Mingyue should look at Master Sun, who had an unkind face, and smiled at him with a rather gentle look.

Lord Sun, who had a blue face, saw that Zhuang Mingyue not only did not have any trace of being stimulated by his words, but even looked at him with a sarcastic smile like this.

Master Sun, who was full of annoyance in his heart, looked at her indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but want to get angry, "Zhuang Mingyue! You ......"

However, before his words could be spoken, he was pulled by the officials standing on the other side, "What happened to Lord Sun today?" Don't be rude to people because of the hot weather, and don't be rude in front of the palace. ”

Master Sun, who was suddenly pulled, glanced at the person who suddenly appeared next to him, opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but was blocked by the other party's frowning brow.

Master Sun, who suppressed all the anger, glared at Zhuang Mingyue with anger in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, just followed the later official and left.

Looking at the interaction between the two, especially the official who came out later, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.
