Glory to the ancestors

Rong Zhen relieved himself of the duties of the household department, and was much more at ease. He wanted to get closer to the sweet-scented osmanthus when he was free, but he was summoned into the palace as soon as he was summoned.

"Why do I want to get married, I don't need a queen!"

As soon as Rong Zhen approached the gate of the queen mother's palace, he heard Li Yun's shout, and shook his body, "I" came out, the little emperor was probably very angry.

He didn't rush in, and waited at the door to listen.

"You have reached the age of marriage." The Queen Mother's voice was not loud, but very calm, "This matter is absolutely related to the fate of the country. It's not like you haven't seen the memorials that were written."

"Oh," Li Yun snorted coldly, "Those are just rushing to send their daughters in."

"Yes, even if they have that intention, it's in accordance with the holy will. Didn't you have a good chat with them last time?"

"For example?" The little emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Grandpa..." the little eunuch standing next to Rong Zhen asked softly.

Rong Zhen hissed, it was really unreasonable not to go in at this time, so he winked at the little eunuch.

The little eunuch shouted, "Duke Rong is here!"

The quarrel in the room stopped abruptly, and the mother and son returned to their respective places, waiting for Rong Zhen to enter the door.

The eunuchs on both sides opened the door for Rong Zhen, and Rong Zhen knelt forward, "I see the emperor and queen mother."

"Get up." Li Yun raised his hand.

Rong Zhen stood up with his head down, "I don't know why the emperor and the empress dowager summoned the ministers?"

"Give a seat to Lord Rong Guo." The Queen Mother ordered.

When Rong Zhen heard this, he felt that it was not very good. This is a protracted battle.

Rong Zhen sat down on the stool tremblingly, looked at the mother and son, and didn't know what to say.

Li Yun asked, "Mr. Rong Guo, the queen mother asked you to take charge of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. How are you doing?"

"I'm still in the process of preparation. This is originally a matter for the Ministry of Rites. I need to discuss it with the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"Well," the queen mother finally encountered something more comfortable, "I told him, and he will cooperate with you more."

"Thank you Queen Mother." Rong Zhen arched his hands.

"Should the family members of the ministers also be invited to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" Li Yun asked.

"Naturally," the queen mother glanced at him, "this is the custom."

"Is the queen mother going to be a matchmaker for me again?"

The queen mother took a deep breath, "Why are you being so aggressive, no matter how much you sarcastically sarcasm this palace, this big marriage is bound to happen, and the middle palace cannot be left empty."

"Empress Dowager," Rong Zhen said, "I don't think there is any need to rush to decide on the candidate for the empress. It is better to select those who the emperor finds pleasant and put them in the palace, and then consider their character one by one to be promoted to the position of empress."

"It's not a bad way."

Rong really knew that the queen mother herself was not from a big clan like theirs, and she was not used to the aristocratic family. If she was asked to directly choose a girl from the aristocratic family to be the queen, she might not agree. The general method is a compromise, and it is a compromise for both mother and son.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor again, and the Emperor was still stubborn, "When did I object to what the Empress Mother said?"

"you!"

Rong Zhen hurriedly interrupted the Queen Mother, fearing that she would faint on the spot, "Your Majesty, I heard from my sister-in-law that you had a good chat with Miss Jiang's family?"

"That," Li Yun raised his eyes slightly, "everything is unreasonable, too vulgar."

"When it comes to talented women, the daughter of the Yushi doctor's family is second to none."

"She didn't dare to say a word to me for a long time, she was boring."

"The young lady from Dali Temple Qing's family, although her father's position is a little lower, but that young lady often hangs out among the people and is very kind."

"You've said it all, her father's position is a bit low, not to mention I'm not interested in wild girls."

Rong Zhen now understands the difficulties of those matchmakers who walk around the streets. When he meets such a young man, he really wants to throw a pot of water over him, and he doesn't care how much he is.

Thinking so, he raised his head and glanced at Li Yun.

Noble temperament, handsome appearance, not to mention his status, there is no one more important than him in this world, so he had to be patient and picked up a few more girls, but unfortunately none of them could catch the emperor's eyes.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked curiously, "How did Duke Rong know so much about the daughter of a minister in the court?"

"Ah," Rong Zhen cleared his throat, "Mr. Yang Jin from the prime minister's family often mentioned it to me."

"Yang Jin?" Li Yun also became interested, "Does he know well?"

"Yang Jin is a well-known talent, and it's normal to have many contacts with beauties."

"I think Duke Rong asked others to pay attention to me." The queen mother put her hands together on her lap, and looked at Rong Zhen with a smile. At that time, he also said that there are so many talented people in the court who are not married, so why force him."

"The Queen Mother means..." Rong Zhen asked humbly.

"Why don't Duke Rong get married first and set an example for the emperor."

Rong Zhen couldn't help but doubt the queen mother's purpose, whether she wanted to force the emperor to get married, or to force herself, or to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Yun also looked at Rong Zhen, but the look in his eyes was clearly for watching a good show, without the slightest intention of sharing weal and woe.

"minister……"

"I know the unruly things you did among the people." The Queen Mother said slowly, "But there must be a head for having fun, right?"

Rong Zhen blinked, sure enough, it is not a good thing to let the bearers stop at Yingxue Tower every time, he can only lead the Empress Dowager's focus back to the Emperor, "Empress Dowager, the subject and the emperor are still different, the Empress Dowager Harmony is the expression of the prosperity of the country, and it doesn't matter whether the minister marries a girl or not."

"Mr. Rong, aren't we all the same? If I want children to continue my destiny, you also need children to fill the Rong family." Li Yun said suddenly.

……

Rong Zhen walked out of the palace, feeling depressed all the time, it's not like he didn't think about what the emperor said.

Although Rong Gan is still alive, his children may not inherit the Rong family. After a hundred years, the Rong family will be...

Rong Zhen sighed, thinking what he was doing so much, he didn't even know if he would survive or not.

He was riding in a sedan chair, and the bearer asked him again, "Grandpa, are you still going to Yingxue Tower?"

Rong Zhen rolled his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't go, go back home."

"Eh."
