After receiving the marriage imperial edict, Wen Wenxian and Zuo Heng left without delay for a moment and satisfied.

Not far from the Jinluan Hall, Zuo Heng met a minister wearing a fourth-rank civil servant uniform walking towards the Jinluan Hall. This was the emperor's bedroom. Except for the emperor summoned him, few ministers came back here, especially ministers with only the fourth-rank official rank.

Zuo Heng couldn't help but take a look at this person's figure very familiar.

"I am here to see His Highness the Princess." After seeing the Princess and saluting her, Zhao Shunran continued to head towards Jinluan Palace.

Zuo Heng followed Wen Wenxian into the sedan chair. He turned his head and Zhao Shunran went to Jinluan Palace to ask the palace servants at the door to inform him. He was familiar with the way, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had come.

"Who is that Zhao Shunran?" Zuo Heng had not had many ministers in contact with the court, and he didn't even know Zhao Shunran.

"Ah, he." When talking about Zhao Shunran, Wen Wencheng blinked and raised his lips, "He is the first top scholar since His Majesty ascended the throne, and he is also the top scholar appointed by His Majesty. I heard that Zhao Shunran has a good reputation in the court, looks good, and many ministers have a good relationship with him, and is deeply loved by His Majesty, so he was promoted to the position of Minister of Revenue in just two years. It is said that the elderly Minister of Revenue will soon return home, and Zhao Shunran should be about to become Minister of Revenue."

When talking about Zhao Shunran, Wen Wencheng, who had never been in contact with the government and ministers, said a lot of things. If Zuo Heng had not pulled Wen Wencheng's sleeves, Wen Wencheng would have continued to say it.

"Why do you know Zhao Shunran so well? Isn't he Wen Wenlan's Minister of Revenue?" Zuo Heng bullied himself to Wen Wencheng's eyes and gently stroked her hair, "You won't be moved by Zhao Shunran too."

"What are you saying?" Wen Wenqing frowned and pinched Zuo Heng's face with both hands. "Is Zhao Qing from the Ministry of Revenue very famous among the officials in the capital? Who doesn't know the big celebrity in front of His Majesty? The top scholar alone is already the top spot in the capital!"

"Okay, OK, I understand, my face hurts so much." Zuo Heng held Wenwen's hands and held them in front of him and kissed them, "My princess is the best."

"Go." Wen Wenyan's face was full of disdain, but the corners of her mouth were raised high. She hooked Zuo Heng's neck and raised his chin with her fingers. "Just just now, someone was worried that this princess would fall in love with others. Is this princess such a fickle person?"

Others may not know what was going on in the Princess's Mansion. Zuo Heng knew it very well. His Royal Highness, the famous Princess of the Southern Dynasty, was actually very clean in the mansion, and there was no such thing as a so-called male lover.

As for whether the eldest princess is really lingering in the fireworks, he has long verified it.

"However, is it possible that Wen Wenlan is interested in Zhao Shunran and bring him into the palace? Wen Wenlan is not treating Zhao Shunran like he is a minister." How could an emperor meet with the ministers alone in that place for no reason?

Wen Wenqing frowned, not understanding why Zuo Heng had such an idea. The emperor's love for Zhao Shunran was just the king's love for ministers. How could it involve the matter of the harem?

Besides, with Zhou Mohuai blocking there, who else can surpass him?

"This is impossible. Your Majesty has been loving Zhou Mohuai for a long time. You are not unaware. Ming Zhao, who is very favored, still talks about it from time to time." Wen Wenqing pinched Zuo Heng's face again, "Besides, Your Majesty has dealt with Chongjia for Zhou Mohuai, why did he put someone in the harem again?"

"That's right." Zuo Heng laughed dryly, "Is it possible that Zhao Shunran has this thought?"

After all, even the most favored minister does not have the courage to reach out to the emperor.

Wen Wen shook his hands, looking indifferent, and only threw the words Zuo Heng into four words.

"That's no chance."

In Jinluan Hall, Wen Wenlan sent Wenwenheng and Zuo Heng away, and then ordered Buyan to go to the Zhengshi Hall for a while before he took a break.

Zhou Mohuai stood behind Wen Wenlan and rubbed her shoulders. The right hand strength made Wen Wenlan squint her eyes comfortably.

"Give your marriage to the eldest princess is also a matter of your concern. It's still a long time, so don't rush this time."

Zhou Mohuai comforted Wen Wenlan softly, and he coaxed Wenlan well. He came in again without saying a word, "Your Majesty, Zhao Shunran, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, asked for a meeting."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Zhou Mohuai patted Wen Wenlan's shoulder, "No matter how late the day, there will be no ministers. Let's say he will come in."

Zhou Mohuai also wanted to meet him, and this Lord Zhao Shunran, who had always wanted to see him.

"Yes, yes, let him come in." Wen Wenlan took a sip of water and let Zhao Shunran come in as if he was determined.

As soon as Zhao Shunran entered the Jinluan Hall, he saw the hands on Wen Wenlan's shoulders in a blink of an eye. His gaze slowly moved up. Behind Wenlan was a man in gorgeous clothes. Even if he was decorated with layers of clothes, he could see that the person's body was well-proportioned. Looking up, he was a handsome face, and he could not forget it after a glance.

The man's aura was strong and faintly. He could feel the killing aura he had honed on the battlefield behind him, exactly the same as the feeling of looking away from the Eighteen-Li Pavilion outside the city that day.

This person is Zhou Mohuai, and his relationship with the emperor is indeed not simple.

Zhao Shunran and Changran stood in front of Wen Wenlan and saluted respectfully.

Wen Wenlan originally thought that Zhao Shunran had something to say, but unexpectedly, he handed over a long time to pay his respects.

"Zhao Qing, are you?" Wen Wenlan frowned. He had only seen it this morning. There was no need to come to Jinluan Hall to hand in a letter of congratulations.

"Seeing that your Majesty is well, I will feel relieved, and I will not disturb your Majesty's rest." Zhao Shunran bowed his waist and bowed deeply, "It's raining recently, so your Majesty must pay attention to the dragon body."

As he said that, Zhao Shunran left Jinluan Palace.

Zhou Mohuai watched Zhao Shunran withdraw from Jinluan Hall. The top scholar had an extraordinary temperament and a very polite manner. From entering Jinluan Hall to leaving, his steps and breathing were very steady, without any panic.

Even though he saw his hand on Wen Wenlan's shoulder, he was not surprised. Not only that, Zhao Shunran's gaze also looked him upward, and even dared to look at him.

It is worthy of being Zhao Shunran who was seen by Wen Wenlan differently.

"It's getting late, and no one will disturb you later." Zhou Mohuai smiled and continued to massage Wen Wenlan's shoulders.

Zhao Shunran was worried about it and he could not forget Zhou Mohuai's appearance of putting his hands on Wen Wenlan's shoulders.

Zhou Mohuai deliberately let him see this scene. Knowing that there is a minister who wants to meet the emperor, he not only does not avoid suspicion, but also openly put his hands on the emperor's shoulders. Is such ambiguous action a move that ordinary relationships with monarchs and ministers will have?

"Have you not returned to your home?" With a greeting, Zhao Shunran pulled his mind back. He turned to see the Minister of Revenue coming towards him. "It's getting late, thank you for your hard work."

"Sir Shangshu." Zhao Shunran bowed respectfully and moved to the side of the Minister of Revenue. "Isn't the Lord still in the palace? Thank you for your hard work."

As he was speaking, the servant of the Minister of Revenue came over in a carriage.

"Mr. Zhao, do you want to walk together? It's still raining." The Minister of Revenue touched his sleeves and turned his palms over, with wet water beads on it.

Zhao Shunran glanced at the sky and agreed happily.

"By the way, Lord Shangshu, what kind of person is the General Zhou who was personally welcomed back to the capital by His Majesty some time ago?"

The Minister of Revenue has been in the court for a long time. Compared to him, a newcomer who has just entered the court, he should have some understanding of Zhou Mohuai.

I was so bored in the carriage that I had a rare opportunity to ride the same car with the Minister of Revenue. It would be better to take advantage of the situation of the other party.

"Are you talking about the dragon lion Zhou Mohuai?" When it comes to Zhou Mohuai, the Minister of Revenue picked up his beard. "It was not long before you won the top scorer that he followed General Wei Kunyu to leave Beijing. Before that, he was General Zhang Ju of Beiying. At that time, Zhou Mohuai defeated Nanying in the four major camps on behalf of Beiying, and later tied with Wuying."

"Since then, Zhou Mohuai has become a celebrity loved by the emperor and scrambled by various generals to seek. Zhou Mohuai was snatched away by General Wei Kunyu and became a member of the Nanying. Later, our border was in crisis, and Zhou Mohuai led a light cavalry to rush thousands of miles to relieve Youwancheng's crisis. If he hadn't had the courage to stand up, he wouldn't know what the Southern Dynasty would be like now."

Zhao Shunran silently listened to the Minister of Revenue talking about Zhou Mohuai. From this, it can be inferred that Zhou Mohuai appeared in front of the emperor before him, but it was only a little earlier.

"I heard from the Lord that, Your Majesty likes General Zhou Mohuai and Zhou very much?" Zhao Shunran looked slightly to the Minister of Revenue, with a little more cautious tone, for fear that others would see something.

"Of course, General Zhou helped His Majesty pacify the border, and then conquered two countries and one city. How could he not like it?" The Minister of Revenue responded decisively, and he nodded repeatedly with his arms wrapped around his chest, "General Zhou is a great hero of the Southern Dynasties."

After Zhou Mohuai pacified the border, he captured two countries and one city. During this period, he stayed outside. In other words, since he left the palace two years ago, he was welcomed back to the capital by the emperor. During this period, he had never returned to the capital.

By this calculation, it was only about a month before Zhou Mohuai appeared in front of His Majesty? But when I recalled the situation when the emperor met Zhou Mohuai, it was not as it was said.

"No, Lord Shangshu, I meant to like this..." It is the love between men and women.

"Well..." The Minister of Revenue touched his beard again, his expression not as clear as before. "It should be impossible. More than two years ago, His Majesty had a very favored eunuch who was named Ming Zhao. His Majesty was so fond of Ming Zhao that he allowed him to run to the Ziguang Hall to contradict the Regent. He was really lawless. Until now, His Majesty only has this person in his heart, how could he still like other people?"
