As soon as the morning court retreated, Dugu Ruyuan came to Xuande Hall to meet the emperor. Today, Shen Yixiang was radiant and rarely saw such a pleasant dragon face.

On weekdays, this emperor often has a stern face, and his eyebrows are always frowning. The deep character of Sichuan is hung on his forehead. If he takes off his dragon robe, he looks more like a vicissitudes of his past and wise man. He looks down on all the glitz in the world, and his heart is calm and he cannot produce any ripples.

"I ask for a meeting, I wish the emperor wealth and prosperity, and long-lasting happiness." Dugu Ruyuan knelt for a long time, not knowing whether the emperor really didn't see him or ignored him, and was discussing something with Eunuch Su.

Apart from kneeling quietly, Dugu Ruyuan could only think in his mind what the two were discussing. After listening for a long time, he guessed that it was related to the prince's marriage, because he heard about the woman's family background. The woman's face was beautiful, but she was a little sickly haggard, especially the location of the mole was too fierce...

"What's the matter with you?" Shen Yixiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Dugu Ruyuan. He felt that he had grown much older after not seeing him these days.

"Emperor, I just learned that there was trouble in Hezhou, so I came to report to the emperor immediately." Dugu Ruyuan waited for the opportunity to come to see the emperor alone.

"Well, it's just a few villagers who petitioned the prefect, I already know." The emperor was unintentionally upset about this matter.

"Your Majesty, no one mentioned this matter in the morning just now. At the end of the year, the local people were waiting for food and grass relief. When King Huanyi passed by Qingzhou, something happened again. Those who caused trouble were afraid that their families could not get out of the way, and the old ministers were worried..." Before Dugu Ruyuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Yixiang.

"I have sent nearby Jinzhou to allocate some food and grass first, please don't worry." Shen Yixiang had already made arrangements and no one else needed to worry about it.

"Emperor, the matter in Hezhou should not be underestimated. I am willing to take the order to share the worries of the emperor." Dugu Ruyuan was thinking in his heart what to say to raise the topic of alternatives about the Crown Princess. If he asked him to speak directly, he would really give up his old face, as if he begged the emperor to marry his daughter into the royal family.

But for the owners of the highest rights in the world, even if they know that there is no chance, they should create opportunities to approach and try. If they do not fight for their ministers and do not pay for their ministers, they will not get the response from the emperor.

"I'm not allowed. My dear is not young anymore. Please feel free to celebrate the New Year at home. I have already sent someone." Shen Yixiang was in a state of uneasy these two days.

Qingzhou just reported that Shen Yihuan had escaped from danger, and a press conference came from Hezhou that the people had been making trouble with the government every day because the food and grass had not started, which made him even more mentally unscrupulous. He finally flipped through the small portrait of the beauty sent by the Painting Hall, and raised the eyes and the sweet words of Eunuch Su, which made the emperor look a little smile, "Duke Wei, is there anything else to report?"

"I am afraid." Looking at the emperor's indifferent attitude towards him, Dugu Ruyuan was very hesitant. He was not sure that the last secret talk was the emperor's temptation or just his unintentional mention?

"But it's okay." Shen Yixiang knew that Dugu Ruyuan was hesitant to ask about the marriage, so he wanted Duke Wei to personally raise it. After so many years of relationships with the monarch and ministers, Dugu Ruyuan has been deliberately keeping a distance from the royal family. Dugu Ruyuan should bear whatever he ordered, and has never lingered, questioned, or opposed it. However, this kind of depressing words made Shen Yixiang feel particularly alienated.

"I have no intention of inquiring. Do you dare to ask if Your Majesty was just discussing the matter of the Crown Princess with Eunuch Su?" Dugu Ruyuan saw that the emperor did not mention the marriage, so he had to ask on his own initiative.

"Well, do you have a good idea?" Shen Yixiang's eyes narrowed and heavier, as if he closed his eyes and rested. He didn't know whether his actions were scrutinizing or his eyes were really blurred and eager to rest.

"Your Majesty, you have mentioned to me... about the family daughter..." Dugu Ruyuan's hesitant tone made Shen Yixiang amuse him.

"Haha, if you don't say it, I've forgotten it. Did you ask the little girl for your wish?" Shen Yixiang has also paid attention to some suitable options these days. Although he looks beautiful and has extraordinary skills, he is still not as good as Dugu's family background. However, Dugu Ruyuan has been visiting him in the future. He thought that Duke Wei deliberately avoided it. After all, his daughter's own proposal to be a father at the right age is normal.

"I am very happy to thank the emperor for his love." After hearing the emperor's question, Dugu Ruyuan's heart finally fell to the ground. He thought the emperor had already liked others?

"Well, I know, let me consider it again." Shen Yixiang didn't want to agree to Duke Wei immediately, for fear that Dugu Ruyuan would happily spread the matter. After all, when Sikong Feng had just recommended his niece to Shen Yixiang, he did not directly refuse. If Sikong Feng left, Shen Yixiang agreed to Dugu Ruyuan. If Sikong Feng knew, wasn't this deliberately tweaking the relationship between the ministers? Shen Yixiang felt that it would be okay to postpone the finalization of the matter for a few days.

"Yes, the emperor has troubled." Dugu Ruyuan felt a little nervous. He was not sure whether the emperor agreed completely, and his joy immediately reduced by half. "Then the minister gave up."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Shen Yixiang heard Dugu Ruyuan's angrily tone and said nothing to comfort him.

This is the relationship between the monarch and the subject. No matter how unhappy it is in the heart, one can only endure it as a subject. It is not unwilling to endure the monarch, but willingly endure it and endure it. This is the obligation and responsibility of the subject, and it cannot be overcome.

...

"Father, Father..." Shen Yiyu hurriedly ran into Xuande Hall, but did not see anyone else present. He knelt down at Shen Yixiang's feet and begged, as if he had just lost the fight and went home to seek his father's protection.

"What kind of morality is it? Get up for me quickly." Shen Yixiang scolded angrily. He felt that Dugu Ruyuan was embarrassed to see the cowardly appearance of his future son-in-law. How could the emperor be laughed at by his ministers for being unable to teach his children?

"Father, my son asks for something." Shen Yiyu stubbornly knelt down and refused to get up. He was ready to not die of the Yellow River today.

"Get up for me, it's okay." Seeing that Shen Yiyu didn't listen to the discipline, Shen Yixiang was so angry that he was furious.

"If the father does not agree, my son will kneel at your feet." Shen Yiyu raised his head and stared at the emperor stubbornly, as if he had done his swearing to death.

"You...you...say, why do you be me?" Shen Yixiang shook his head helplessly. He wanted to call the prince a bastard, but because of the outsiders, it is important to protect the prince's face. Even if Dugu Ruyuan might become Shen Yiyu's father-in-law, he had to think about the crown prince's majesty in front of his subjects.

"I'm sorry to my father, how about the Public Security Bureau of the Defense Kingdom?" Shen Yishuo's polite greeting made the prince even more unruly.

The feelings of the king and his subjects are the emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor's emperor
