Chapter 520: Listening to the Government
“No courtesy, please stay flat.”
A piece of pomegranate red clothes fluttered into Shang Ruyi’s sight. She raised her head and saw that Chu Ruoyan was wearing a The gorgeous feather gauze dress stands in front of her, her hair is full of pearls, her makeup is exquisite, and the bright red dress makes her face look like a peach blossom, and her eyes are filled with spring water.
Just now, I felt that Tai Chi Hall was like a heavenly palace in the clouds, and she looked like a fairy concubine in the heavenly palace.
Almost as she watched the envy rising in Shang Ruyi’s eyes calm down in an instant, the smile on Chu Ruoyan’s face became a little deeper - today, she did deliberately dress up to make everyone People understand that she is the only one worthy of Yu Wenye in this world!
And Shang Ruyi seemed to see through the pride and stubbornness in her eyes.
She said: "I didn't expect that Her Majesty the Princess would be here."
Chu Ruoyan smiled and said: "Today, like you, I am here waiting for your Majesty's summons."
Shang Ruyi said: "But those who wait for the minister's wife, and those who wait for the princess , I'm afraid it's not the same thing."
Chu Ruoyan said with a smile: "Of course. What I'm waiting for is peace in the world and the emperor's marriage, and you-" As she said this, her eyes showed A bit cold, even contemptuous: "What we are waiting for is a disaster."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was speechless for a moment.
To put it this way, it seems that I am really not a good person.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the side hall. It was the officials who had gone to court, divided into civil and military ranks, ascending the Danqi in front of the Taiji Hall from the walking paths on both sides, and lined up to enter the main hall. After a while, I heard a dull sound of long live the mountain coming from the distant hall -
"Long live my emperor, long live long live!"
There was another silence for a while, and after a while, I heard a chamberlain beside the emperor raise his voice: "If you have something to do, leave the court if there is nothing!"
Immediately, someone shouted: "My lord. Something is going to happen!”
Shang Ruyi subconsciously held his breath and listened. It turned out that the harvest was affected by the failure of irrigation in two counties in Guanzhong, and officials requested to allocate grain funds for relief. Immediately, the matter was handed over to the Minister of Household Affairs, who was prepared to allocate 100,000 shi of grain to temporarily meet the urgent need.
Shang Ruyi thought that the matter was over, but Yu Wenyuan took over the conversation and discussed the follow-up matters. It turned out that the cause of the matter was that the dam in the area was damaged and the water could not be replenished, which caused difficulty in irrigation when the weather was dry. He immediately requested an order , let the Ministry of Industry send capable officials to repair the dam. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will discuss the approximate cost tomorrow.
A few people argued for a while before the matter was resolved.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh softly - she thought that relieving the people would just be a matter of collecting food, but she didn't expect that the matter was not simple. She was also a little surprised by Yu Wenyuan's carefulness and thoroughness, for such a rough-looking person, But so detailed.
At this moment, Chu Ruoyan’s impatient voice sounded in his ears——
“Humph!”
Shang Ruyi turned his head subconsciously and saw She sat aside with a calm expression and said angrily: "Why are you talking about all this nonsense? I don't know. Is this princess waiting here?"
Shang Ruyi glanced at her. Although he knew that it was useless to talk to her at this time, he couldn't help but said softly: "Your Highness, it is Daye who is suffering from the drought after all. The land of the dynasty was also affected by the people of the Daye Dynasty. ”
Chu Ruoyan said: "So what if we talk about these things later?"
"..."
"How can the important matter of my princess's marriage be ranked behind these small things?"
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.
But she no longer wanted to say anything more. She just turned her head silently and continued to listen attentively to the reports reported by the ministers in the hall. Some of them were indeed trivial. Before the emperor could order the servant to speak, Yu Wenyuan He stood up and rejected it directly; some things, such as the severe drought in Guanzhong, and how many groups of rebels appeared in various places, these matters must be handled carefully, and Shang Ruyi also discovered that Yu Wenyuan has always stood on the table and is very meticulous. All rights and responsibilities are clearly divided in detail.
Not only did he devote himself to this court and the entire world, he was also bound to win.
Looking back at Chu Ruoyan who looked unhappy, Shang Ruyi felt a little unspeakable in her heart, because at this time, she could not help but think back to the wild and wanton man in Jiangdu Palace. , a figure as graceful as a fairy, he is very smart, he is the pride of heaven, he has lofty ambitions and ambitions that are above everyone else, but he is also very wrong.
In this world, there are some people and things that cannot be simply defined as good or bad, but their results are inexplicable.
Shang Ruyi sighed softly.
Chu Ruoyan on the side heard this sigh and thought she was worried, then sneered, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and said: "Why, are you still worried that the disaster you expected has not appeared? ”
"..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said nothing. " Anyone else want to play?" This time, no one spoke immediately.
The dull feeling suddenly spread from Taiji Hall and filled this small side hall. Shang Ruyi and Chu Ruoyan subconsciously cheered up, and Chu Ruoyan stood up directly and walked outside. After taking two steps, I heard the chamberlain ask more clearly: "Everyone, is there anything else to say?"
Still nothing.
At this time, Shang Ruyi could clearly hear Chu Ruoyan holding her breath.
Then, Chu Chengfei’s voice was finally heard, but compared with the shrill voice of the chamberlain just now, and compared with Yu Wenyuan’s rich voice, this voice was much weaker. Shang Ruyi was almost I pricked up my ears before reluctantly Listen clearly Cheng Fei said: "Since all my dear friends have nothing to report, I have something important to say -"
As soon as his voice paused, Shang Ruyi heard it Chu Ruoyan took a breath.
When she turned around to look, her originally gorgeous face was now flushed, and she was so excited that even the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
And feeling that Shang Ruyi was looking at her, she also sneered and looked at Shang Ruyi -
"Are you here?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window——
No, nothing happened except that the sky became a little gloomier.
Her expression also darkened, and she said: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is the real proud daughter of Heaven, and even God is helping Her Highness."
"Hmph "
Chu Ruoyan snorted.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the Tai Chi Hall. Chu Ruoyan immediately gathered his thoughts and looked up at the door. He saw a servant in a python robe holding a handle in both hands. Whisk, he hurried to the door of the side hall. As soon as he saw her, he kowtowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, and the general's wife, your majesty has summoned you two to come to the hall."
Chu Ruoyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
A smile of joy that could not be concealed appeared on her face, and she immediately raised her feet and walked out. After taking two steps, she looked back at Shang Ruyi: "Let's go."
< br>Shang Ruyi was originally following her, but when he heard what she said, he followed suit and walked directly to her side, walking side by side with her. After leaving the side hall, the two of them followed the eunuch and walked forward. After a while, they arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.
At this moment, the heavy clouds that were pressing down on Daxing City seemed to be pressing down a little more. When Shang Ruyi had just reached the door of the hall and was about to step in, there was a dull sound. The sound of thunder came from above the clouds, resounding throughout the sky in an instant and reverberating in Daxing City.
The civil and military ministers lined up on both sides of the hall were also shocked by the muffled thunder and could not help but look back.
Then I saw two slim figures walking in slowly at the entrance of the main hall, one was dignified and the other was delicate. Although the dignified one had simple and elegant makeup, he could not hide his nobility, and there was even more majesty as thunder rolled over his head. Come; the delicate and beautiful one, with her body covered with silk, her head covered with gold and jade, and her graceful lotus steps reveal countless charms. With just one glance, it was as if he had seen all the women in the world, and some people could not help but sigh.
Chu Ruoyan has long been accustomed to such stunning looks and sighs since she was a child, so she didn't care about the eyes of the people around her, and raised a pair of autumn eyes to look at the crowd. The most handsome and upright figure, but the surprise at first sight was lost in an instant when he found that Yu Wenye was only staring at the people around him.
At this moment, Shang Ruyi was trembling slightly amidst the thunder.
Compared with Chu Ruoyan, who has been carried by Chu Yang and sat in the court since she was a child, because she can repel hundreds of officials with just a cry, and has already been able to handle this situation with ease, even though she has been preparing for so long, she is still Uncontrollably born A trace of timidity - this was the first time she walked into the court. Hundreds of pairs of eyes of civil and military officials on both sides looked at her with eyes that were either solemn, frivolous, at a loss, or contemptuous and disdainful. Every step becomes more and more heavy.
Until she met those deep and calm eyes.
Although she didn't say anything, as soon as she saw Yu Wenye's face, her mind immediately echoed what he had just said to her outside the Hanguang Gate——
Today, you can say anything Whatever you want to say, do whatever you want to do, no matter what happens, no matter what the result is, I will cover it for you...
At this moment, she suddenly felt confident.
So he took a deep breath and raised his head, and saw the emperor Chu Chengfei sitting in the court hall. Although the small body sat so high, the royal desk had already covered most of him, and the bright yellow imperial edict that had not yet been placed on the desk attracted more attention.
As soon as he saw the imperial edict, Shang Ruyi's breath suddenly sank.
At this time, she and Chu Ruoyan had already reached the center of the hall, and both of them kowtowed to the emperor: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."
Chu Chengfei looked at his eldest sister coming, and was initially a little agitated. The uncomfortable expression immediately relaxed a lot, and he said with a smile: "Sister, you are finally here. I am going to read out your imperial edict!"
At this time, the entire Tai Chi Hall suddenly became quiet.
In such an almost suffocatingly silent atmosphere, a deep voice suddenly sounded, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
