Chapter 257 (1/2)

The emperor saw that Xia Hou's face was serious, and his face turned from sadness to joy. He even couldn't help reaching out and holding his arm: ”how can Xingwen be with mu'er?”

Wu Taifu was also excited and nodded frequently after listening to Xia Hou's words.

Lord Ju was even more ecstatic, but the official hat was still handed in mid air. For a moment, he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

The remaining civil and military officials were all stunned, while Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei's faces changed from joy to sadness. Xiao Yanjun looked at Du Hanfei in surprise.

Du Hanfei looked at Xia Hou ye, his eyes gradually lost focus, and mumbled, ”it's impossible.”

A few days ago, he clearly received a letter from Xue Xiuguo, saying that the staff had been arranged properly, and only waiting for Xiao Zimu to leave for Beijing.

After listening to the emperor's question, Lord Xia didn't reply, but looked at Huo Tianxiu. Huo Tianxiu was staring at him inexplicably. He couldn't help but say, ”what do you mean, Lord Xia?”

”You didn't scare the boy away.” Lord Xia snorted coldly.

”How could Huo Tidu frighten Xingwen's child?” The emperor was relieved to know that Xiao Zimu was safe and sound. Seeing that they suddenly got involved, he asked with great interest.

”Emperor, these family habits are waiting for us to chat in private. You see, Lord Ju is so scared that he is kneeling here. Let people get up quickly.” Lord Xia Hou went over, took his hat, put it back on Lord Ju's head and helped him again.

Seeing that the Emperor didn't say anything, Lord Ju got up with Xia Hou.

The emperor knew that Lord Ju had been kneeling for a long time, but just now he couldn't beat himself in the face in an instant. At the moment, Lord Xia gave a step, and he acquiesced.

The emperor was just frightened and misunderstood Lord Ju. At this time, he was on fire, so he slipped out the person who folded the paper and scolded: ”Tan Shifang, you can't verify such a big thing and report it again?”

”Yes, I'm derelict. I hope the emperor will be kind.” Tan Shifang, the Minister of Taipusi, was already kneeling on the ground. When he heard the emperor name calling and scolding him, he knelt all the way out of the line and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Looking at his appearance, he was a little bored: ”pay a year's salary. If you have nothing to do today, you can retire from the court.”

”Thank Lord longen.” Tan Shifang was relieved and quickly thanked him.

The courtiers also breathed a sigh of relief. Today's morning meeting was too exciting. But when the emperor wanted to leave the court, they all shouted: ”long live, long live.”

The emperor looked at Huo Tianxiu and said, ”you two go to the imperial study with me.”

Huo Tianxiu frowned and followed up. The Marquis was carrying his hands behind him. He deliberately passed Du Hanfei and greeted him: ”I heard that Prime Minister Du is going to have a wedding banquet. How can this look like a funeral banquet.”

The Marquis Xia said ”tut” and then walked away.

Du Hanfei was annoyed by his teasing, and his face was even more ugly. At this time, Xiao Yanjun came up and asked him, ”prime minister Du, this is the good play you asked the king to stay for two days?”

Du Hanfei was so angry that he didn't even bother to entertain him. He raised his hand and left without saying anything.

Xiao Yanjun watched Du Hanfei brush his sleeve and leave, dissatisfied with his disrespectful attitude.
