A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

"His Royal Highness."

"Mother concubine is not there?" Seeing the palace man's expression in embarrassment, King Qi stopped to look at him.

"Back to your Highness, early this morning, Mingyue Palace came to invite the empress, saying that she prayed for the people and copied the scriptures."

King Qi handed the carved wooden box into the hands of the palace man: "Mother concubine came back and handed this thing to her concubine. When the king went shopping, he felt that the opponent's ring matched her concubine, so he bought it."

Copy the scriptures?

In the entire palace, who didn't know that Concubine Su did not like poetry, calligraphy and painting. I am afraid that the only concubines who copy the scriptures are her concubine who is not pleasing to the eye, and she herself does not stick to the ink.

When Concubine Su is in a bad mood, there will always be unlucky concubines in the palace, without exception.

"His Royal Highness." Changsui reminded in a low voice: "The land of the harem should not be stayed for a long time. You should go to the Taiyang Palace to please your Majesty."

Outside the Taiyang Palace, Liu Zhongbao saw King Qi and saluted with a smile: "Fourth Your Highness An."

"Liu Gong's public security is good." King Qi looked inside the palace: "I wonder if my father is convenient at this moment?"

"The emperor said that if it is a few of your Highnesses at this hour, you don't need to pass on the old slaves, your Highness just go in." Liu Zhongbao smiled and opened the door for King Qi.

Walking through the solemn corridor, King Qi heard the laughter coming from the sleeping hall. He stopped, tidyed up his clothes, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"The sons and ministers greet the father and the emperor."

Qi Wang's salute is very elegant, even a picky official of etiquette can't point out the slightest mistake.

"Get up, sit and talk." Emperor Longfeng asked the palace man to move a stool for King Qi: "Your fifth brother just came to me and complained to me that there was no meal, and the palace man was so tired that he prepared breakfast for him."

Wang Qi looked at Wang Chen who was sitting at the table, bowing his head and eating, and said with a smile: "Fifth brothers have always had a sloppy personality. After they get married, the princess will take care of them."

"Have you used breakfast?" Emperor Longfeng pointed to the empty seat on the right hand side: "If it's useless, come over and eat with your brother."

"Thanks to the love of the emperor, my son has already used it."

"I'm a big man to let the little girl take care of?" Wang Chen put down his chopsticks and accepted the service of the Taiyang Palace very naturally, and the palace people were also handy when serving, as if he was the little master of the Taiyang Palace.

Emperor Longfeng smiled without saying a word, and he raised his hand to let the palace man take the table away: "Yanze, your marriage is coming soon, if you have anything to buy, directly report it to Dianzhong Province and let them prepare it for you."

"Erchen's marriage, the Department of Rites and the Department of Rites are both very concerned. Entering the palace today, one is to greet the father and the emperor, and the other is to see the mother and the concubine." King Qi glanced at the King Chen: "I only found out after entering the palace. , The imperial concubine empress and the empresses from the harem copied the scriptures to pray for blessings."

"Good thing." Wang Chen lazily leaned on the chair: "With God's blessing, my father's diligence and love for the people have allowed me to live and work in peace and contentment, with plenty of food and clothing. It is also a good thing for all the maids to pass it on."

King Qi chuckled: "Fifth brother's statement is reasonable, and the child minister thinks that not only the maidens copy the scriptures, but the child minister, as the prince, should also copy the scriptures to pray for the people of the world."

Wang Chen glanced at Wang Qi with the corner of his eye. It was the first time that he had seen someone take the initiative to copy a book when he grew up so big.

What kind of spirit is this?

"The thing about copying books is sincere and spiritual. I'm afraid there are too many scriptures copied, and the gods will not be able to finish." Wang Chen stopped the conspiracy of Wang Qi to drag all his brothers and sisters into the water: "It is better to donate a sum of money. When you go to a shantang, you are also doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Does the father and the sons make sense?"

Emperor Longfeng nodded slightly: "Yanze, your marriage is coming soon. You don't need to copy the small things like scriptures."

"Yes." Qi Wang lowered his eyelids: "It's that the children are not thoughtful enough."

Emperor Longfeng wanted to say a few words about mutual support between husband and wife after getting married, but looking at Yun Yanze's respectful appearance, he turned his head to look at Yun Duqing.

"Father, the son is also a person who has a marriage contract. Although there is still a period of time before getting married, there are still many things to do." Wang Chen quickly said: "I think the Ministry of War is pretty good, or if you let your son go to the Ministry of War How many days?"

Copying books is unwilling to copy books. Which normal-minded person would like to do this kind of thing?

"Bingbu Shangshu is getting older." As the emperor, Emperor Longfeng still had a bit of pity for his confidant minister, at least he didn't intend to let his son harm the elderly.

"I looked at the Ritual Department very well." Emperor Longfeng thought for a while: "You go to the Ritual Department to stay for some time."

The Book of Etiquette has a good temper, good eloquence, strong physique, and is not easy to get angry.

More importantly, the minister of courtesy is Ming Jingzhou.

"Father, my son thinks this matter can be discussed again..."

"The gentleman said nothing, and I will issue an order to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow." Emperor Longfeng waved his hand with a headache on his face: "You kneel down."

"Father, father, father..."

"Liu Zhongbao, please go out, Wang Chen."

Seeing that King Chen was "invited" by Liu Zhongbao to go out, King Qi stood up and said, "Emperor father, sons and ministers also leave."

Among the princes, except Yun Duqing, who would dare to do such a foolish act in front of the father?

"His Royal Highness." Liu Zhongbao stood at the door with a smile: "Please don't be angry, Your Majesty has arranged for you to go to the Ministry of Rites for your own good."

Of course, it is also for the good of the Ministry of War.

Although there are many chores in the Ministry of Rites, many of the affairs are related to the school's imperial examination. His Majesty insisted that the Five Halls go to the Ministry of Rites to pave the way for His Highness.

"Fifth brother." King Qi walked out of the hall and came to Wang Chen: "Congratulations, fifth brother."

"What's your joy?" Wang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't you be unhappy at the Ministry of Households?"

King Qi smiled indifferently: "It's rare for the fifth brother to take the initiative to share his worries for his father, and it is naturally worthy of congratulations.

"Fourth brother's congratulations, I accept it." Wang Chen said with a smile, "but verbal congratulations are not enough. When you go back, remember to send the gift to my house."

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

Liu Zhongbao watched this scene with a smile, and when Wang Chen left, he bowed his head.

In Mingyue Palace, Concubine Su ate a piece of fruit that the court lady fed to her mouth, picked out a copy of the scriptures and looked at it, and shook her head.

"The handwriting is perfunctory, their hearts are not sincere." She sighed: "Continue copying tomorrow."

"Niang Niang." Xiangjian whispered: "The emperor has issued an edict and let the palace go to the Ministry of Rites to learn to do things."

Concubine Su sat up on the concubine couch: "How old is the Book of Etiquette?"

"It's just a good year, and I have a good temper."

"Oh." Concubine Su lay back lazily: "That's all right."

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette felt that something was going on, and it was a major event.

In the sixth department of the Central Korea, which department is not good for the Hunshi Demon King, why should he come to them?

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of War is very old and can't bear it."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is grumpy and easy to use."

"His Royal Highness Qi is in the household department."

"His Royal Highness Wang Huai is in the Criminal Ministry."

"Then there is still a staff member?"

"Whenever the official secretary doesn't agree, he loves to hit the wall and admonish him, you know."

"Then, when Wang Chen arrives at the Ministry of Rites, who will take him to do things?"

Everyone was silent, and no one spoke.

There was footsteps outside the door, and everyone turned their heads together. When they saw that the person was Ming Jingzhou, their eyes burst into dazzling light.

It's him!

Ming Jingzhou was taken aback by the eyes of his colleagues. He took two steps back and asked in confusion, "Why do my colleagues look at me like this?"

"Brother Ming, I want to open up a little bit. There is no hurdle in the world."

"Brother Ming is really extraordinary and personable today."

"The glory and rise and fall of our Ministry of Rites depend on you."

Ming Jingzhou discovered that the colleagues who had quarreled with him a few days ago because of political disagreements, also laughed at himself with an old face. The smile was extremely sincere and extremely friendly.

There were two servants in the Ministry of Rites, another servant Zhou Rui, seeing that Ming Jingzhou didn’t know what had happened, he couldn’t help but smiled and patted his shoulder: “An edict came from the palace just now. Come to our etiquette department."

Ming Jingzhou: "..."

It doesn't count to marry his daughter, but he has to teach his son-in-law in advance. What kind of human suffering is this?

Your majesty's conscience, is there really no pain at all?

"This is the Ministry of Rites?" Jiuzhu stepped off the carriage holding the food box and looked up at the plaque on the door of the Ministry of Rites, exclaimed: "What a beautiful word."

The equinox walked to the guard at the gate of the care and ritual department: "My lord, family members of Ming Shi Lang's mansion, send food boxes to Ming Shi Lang, please pass the message for you."

"Girls, please wait a moment." It is common for female relatives to come to deliver food boxes. The guard made a gesture and someone went in to pass the message.

When Jiuzhu came to the Ministry of Rites for the first time, even the pair of stone lions at the door felt extremely majestic.

My father is so good that he can serve here.

There was the sound of kicking and stomping horseshoes. The moment Jiuzhu turned her head, she smiled and bends her eyes: "Your Highness."

"Why are you here?" Wang Chen jumped off his horse, and saw the food box in Jiuzhu's arms: "Bring Ming Shi Lang food?"

"I had nothing to do with me. After hearing my mother arrange for someone to come and deliver food, I followed along." Jiuzhu looked at Wang Chen suspiciously: "Why is your Royal Highness here?"

"This king naturally has business affairs." Chen Wang lifted his chin slightly: "This king also works in the Ministry of Rites, but unlike you, a little girl who has nothing to do all day."

"His Royal Highness is amazing." Jiuzhu's eyes flickered at Wang Chen, as if stars were falling.

Wang Chen, who had originally planned to come to the Ministry of Rites to see and leave, looked at these twinkling eyes and gave a faint smile: "It's just a small matter."

"His Royal Highness knows who wrote this plaque. The writing is very beautiful."

Wang Chen looked up at the plaque and thought for a moment: "This character was written by the famous official Wang Jiaxu. He accompanied his ancestors to fight the world, customized the law, and was honest and upright throughout his life. After his death, no hundreds of people spontaneously gave him a filial piety. He is a person worthy of admiration, calling him the Great Master Qingtian."

"His Royal Highness knows so much." Jiuzhu said with emotion: "It must be a good official to be loved by so many people."

"Naturally, it is the blessing of the court and the people to have such a capable minister..."

"Weichen has seen the prince." Ming Jingzhou walked to the front of the king and saluted: "I don't know if your highness is here, the Weichen has missed a long way to welcome you, please forgive your sin."

Wang Chen lifted up Ming Jingzhou, and returned half a gift from the younger generation: "You and I are working together in the Ministry of Rites, so you don't have to be so polite."

Work together?

Even the ceremonial department didn't step in, so it's considered a co-worker?

"Father." Jiuzhu handed the food box to Ming Jingzhou and happily gave a blessing to King Chen: "Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness and his father are colleagues. In the future, please take care of his father."

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk." Chen Wang smiled: "Master Ming learns to be rich in five cars, and is talented. There are still many places for juniors to ask adults for advice."

Jiuzhu felt that His Royal Highness Chen was right, so she turned her head and looked at Ming Jingzhou earnestly: "His Royal Highness is still very young. It is normal to have things you don't understand. Father should teach His Highness more."

Ming Jingzhou looked at Wang Chen who smiled friendly to herself and returned the gift to her junior, and hugged the food box in her arms tightly.

Your Highness Wang Chen, something is wrong with you!
