Chapter 265 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (26)
Chapter 265 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (26)
When Xia Mochi saw A Niang coming, he rushed forward and pulled her sleeve and shook it.
"Mother, didn't you say before that Sui Yu was handsome and extremely talented?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Ling, the wife of the Duke of Dingguo's son, smiled happily, "Yes, a young man with red lips and white teeth is much more pleasant to look at than you."
Xia Mochi grasped the key point accurately, "So you like it too, Mom?"
"I like it!" Wan Ling nodded with a smile, but when he realized the meaning of the word "also" in the next moment, the smile froze on his lips.
His body froze, and he only looked up and down at his son with his eyes. Well, he looked very upright.
I must have misunderstood...
"Then mother should know even more. This time he went to open the sea, it was a quick and decisive move. I really think he is a good official, and my opinion has changed immediately, but father still keeps targeting him..."
Xia Yan glared, his beard on both sides almost blown away, "I didn't do that, you're talking nonsense, I'm such a decent person."
"Yes, then why did you say before that burning incense in people's cars was definitely not considerate enough?" Xia Mochi nodded affirmatively.
Xia Yan searched his mind for a long time but couldn't find the memory. However, he was always a big and strong man and didn't remember so many details.
"You are still provoking him in the court, trying to make him say something so that you can refute him." Xia Mochi pressed on.
Xia Yan frowned. Did he have it?
It seems not.
Xia Mochi looked at his mother, "Right, Mom? Dad didn't refute it."
Wan Ling nodded, looking at Xia Yan with a look of disappointment. "She's so young and already as famous as your father-in-law, and you still have the nerve to bully her?"
"Such a handsome and knowledgeable minister, get along well with him tomorrow and don't cause trouble."
Xia Yansheng felt hopeless and wondered if he had been so angry that he couldn't remember what he had done...
------
The next morning when he went to court.
Civil and military officials are divided into two groups.
Sui Yu stood at the front on the left, dressed in a purple official robe and standing tall and graceful. Her figure, which had become a little thinner after her trip to Ningguang, looked even more elegant and extraordinary.
After answering questions from several adults he knew with a smile, he half-closed his eyes and waited for the palace gate to open.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt someone pulling at the bottom of his wide sleeves.
Sui Yu opened her eyes and looked over coldly, and saw that Xia Yan, who usually didn't get along with her, had a subtle embarrassment on his face.
After all, he was an elder, so Sui Yu held the court sceptre and bowed, and then Xia Yan held up her hands with the court sceptre in his hand.
"Your Excellency seems to be in good spirits today."
Starting with a classic greeting, Xia Yan stroked his beard and said to Sui Yu.
Sui Yu was slightly startled, but returned a polite smile without error, "Same to Lord Xia."
"That's still you, hahahaha..."
Sensing something amiss from his words and actions, Sui Yu remained calm and asked directly, "Master Xia, is there anything you want to talk to me about today?"
Could it be because of Xia Mochi?
His feelings for him were discovered by his family?
But it doesn't seem likely, otherwise Xia Yan wouldn't be so calm, or even a little embarrassed.
Sui Yu caught a glimpse of Xia Mochi craning his neck to look at her from the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to notice.
When asked so directly, Xia Yan didn't feel shy. He wasn't the type to hold back.
"It was after chatting with Madam yesterday that I learned that you, Lord, are quite famous among the wives of officials. I wanted to come and ask for your advice."
As if he was afraid that his words might be ambiguous, he quickly explained, "I just want my wife to admire me in the same way."
Sui Yu's eyes moved slightly, and she had a new understanding of the idleness of the Prince of Dingguo.
Others more or less said behind his back that he relied on his father and his son, and it was impossible for him not to have heard a little bit, but he had never had a conflict with anyone about this.
After all, those who only dare to gossip behind others' backs are mostly playboys who can only rely on the influence of their ancestors, and are not even a bit better than the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Even if the old Duke Dingguo passed away, with Xia Mochi still around, the Duke Dingguo Mansion would not collapse within a hundred years.
To be honest, those people probably wish to have such a rich and leisurely life.
At least Sui Yu really wants to.
After lowering her eyes and thinking for a moment, Sui Yu fixed her gaze on Xia Yan's mustache uncertainly, "Or... start with his appearance?"
This statement is actually true.
Since the wife of the Prince of Dingguo admired her as Xia Yan said, it was nothing more than her talent and appearance.
Talent...cannot be acquired quickly for now, but appearance can be acquired.
Xia Yan looked down and asked, "Shave it off?"
Sui Yu understood, and it seemed that he knew that his wife didn't like his outfit very much.
"That depends on what Master Xia likes."
As he was speaking, three whip sounds broke through the air, and it was time to go to court.
Xia Yan walked to his seat opposite and made an agreement with Sui Yu, "Today I will treat you to a meal at the theater. Sir Sui, please come with me to watch the theater after your shift."
Sui Yu walked inside and nodded slightly.
.......
Emperor Xuanwu sat on the dragon throne at the top, and looking at the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the court today, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
They quarreled day after day, and one day I didn’t hear them, and I felt like I missed them a little.
As I get older, I do like to hear something new.
Just treat it as a sleep aid.
Ever since Sui Yu went to Ningguang, the ministers below have not been as logical and well-reasoned in their debates, and their voices are not as pleasant as Sui Aiqing's. Like him, they have all grown old.
I don't know what happened today, but there was still no quarrel. They just talked a lot of nonsense and then left the court without any hesitation.
Before leaving, Emperor Xuanwu asked Sui Yu to stay.
His gray eyebrows furrowed, and Emperor Xuanwu looked approvingly at the minister who pleased him the most. "My dear minister Sui, this time the opening of the sea was exceptionally smooth. You have made a great contribution."
Sui Yu leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your approval."
"You've done a great job this time, but I don't know how to reward you. Why don't you propose it yourself? I'll grant it to you, okay?"
Leaving Sui Yu alone was because he was afraid that the young man would be shy and embarrassed to ask for anything.
Sui Yu frowned secretly, "There is nothing I want."
Emperor Xuanwu didn't believe it. When he was young, he wanted everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on reforms until he was thirty years old and his father passed away.
It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but the Prime Minister whom he trusts the most has an air of an immortal who is out of touch with the mundane world, and it seems that no inducement can make him bow down.
The more this happened, the more he wanted to give more.
Only close and trusted people remained in the palace. Emperor Xuanwu had no image concerns, so he sat there casually and suddenly said, "May I grant you a marriage?"
Sui Yu gasped and knelt down, "I am only interested in the court of Dayong, and I don't have this intention now."
You should just focus on your own harem and don't match people up randomly. Don't create trouble by pretending to be a woman disguised as a man.
Emperor Xuanwu sighed and looked at his handsome and handsome minister. "Stand up, why are you always kneeling? You are so young, don't you want to use your knees anymore?"
Sui Yu stood up and said, "I am young."
The eunuch couldn't help laughing. It was true that the emperor looked more and more like his youth as he grew older. It was a good thing that an older man could chat with him for a while.
In this whole court, or in the whole Dayong, perhaps only Lord Sui can chat with His Majesty in such a casual tone.
Even the prince...
Don’t think too much, it will give you a headache.
......
After a while, Sui Yu finally came out of the hall with a gold medal given by Emperor Xuanwu stuffed in her clothes, and her expression was indifferent.
Of course she knew what the purpose of this gold medal was.
Although he secretly suspected that the emperor was being disloyal by establishing the crown prince, as a close minister to the emperor, Sui Yu could still guess some of Emperor Xuanwu's thoughts.
The eldest prince occupies the title of eldest son, but he is more kind-hearted than murderous.
He couldn't control all the civil and military officials in the court.
The third prince is at the forefront in both literary and military strategy, but he has an extremely powerful family behind him.
If he succeeded to the throne, there was a possibility that the example of foreign relatives' monopoly of power would appear again, and Dayong would not be able to continue for hundreds or thousands of years.
The fourth prince... has a decent way of making money and is good at plotting and scheming, but he is not suitable to be an emperor.
It was the whetstone given by Emperor Xuanwu to the third prince.
Emperor Xuanwu intended for the third prince to succeed him, but before that, his maternal family, the Qi family, had to fall.
Thinking of the Ning Guang incident which had not yet been concluded, Sui Yu looked up at the towering palace walls. She was afraid that Shengjing was about to be in turmoil again.
Suddenly, a hand fell beside her. Sui Yu glanced sideways and saw Xia Yan smiling. "Let's go to the theater?"
"Master Xia, please lead the way." Sui Yu glanced at Xia Mochi who was standing beside her and looking forward to it.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Although I am much older than you, I feel that we met too late. Why don't we be brothers..."
Xia Mochi immediately grabbed his father's official robe tightly and interrupted him, "Calling each other uncle and nephew will make the relationship closer."
Xia Yan paused, and after thinking about it carefully, it was okay. Otherwise, his son would become Sui Yu's nephew, which was not very decent.
"This... I'm afraid Master Sui won't force it, right?"
Sui Yu's slightly drooped eyelashes hid a slight smile, "Of course not, then I will call you uncle."
"My dear nephew, come on, come on, the show in the theater today is "The Lock of Hair", sung by a famous actress herself..."
It was not until she sat in the box that Sui Yu's ears became quiet.
Xia Yan, who was standing beside him, was so engrossed in the play that he didn't notice at all that his son and his newly recognized nephew were almost sitting on each other's laps, hand in hand.
"There's nothing wrong with my father, he just loves watching plays and talks a lot. Even my mother is annoyed with him." Xia Mochi explained secretly to his father, fearing that Sui Yu would be annoyed.
Her eyes rolled around, and she was thinking about how to sit on Sui Yu's legs without being noticed.
Sui Yu's face was full of helplessness. She stretched out her hand to push away his handsome face which was getting closer and closer, and crossed her long legs.
This kind of romantic attitude on his part not only does not make people feel bored, but instead makes their heart beat faster, and they look forward to the person he is teasing, being themselves.
Of course, it also puts an end to someone's desire to sit on it.
Xia Mochi opened his lips slightly, glanced quickly at his father, and then leaned closer at lightning speed, stopping only a millimeter away from Sui Yu's lips.
"Let me kiss you once, okay?"
The low voice, coupled with Xia Mochi's downcast expression, made him look particularly aggrieved, "I was the only one who didn't go back home with you last night."
Sui Yuqingling's gaze slowly moved from his eyebrows down to his lips.
It was clearly a very simple action, but it made Xia Mochi swallow the saliva in his throat uncontrollably, and he felt like he was about to die of thirst.
Seeing his expression, Sui Yu pinched his chin with her fingers, lifted it up slightly, then leaned over and took it into her mouth.
As if he had received approval, the man who had just pretended to ask for consent had red eyes, and his big hands directly grasped her waist and pressed down, twisting and rubbing her fiercely.
The lying position allowed Xia Mochi to easily see Sui Yu half-closed her eyes, looking at him clearly as he lost control.
The feeling of being controlled was unprecedented, and every vein in the body was clamoring to be filled with the most exciting plundering impulse, but due to Xia Yan's presence, he could only restrain himself.
This kind of excitement is unique.
Sui Yu suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand to the man's chest and pushed him away, with a hint of anger in her eyes as she lowered her gaze.
Xia Mochi felt extremely guilty, but this reaction was not something he could control, so he had to sit there awkwardly and hide a little.
"Kiss me again... My dad is just watching the show, he won't notice."
When saying this, Xia Mochi's eyes never left Sui Yu's lips. His infatuated look made anyone know what he was thinking at a glance.
Sui Yu was almost pissed off by him. When she raised her hand to push him away, the man grabbed her hand, completely wrapped it in his palm, and suddenly leaned over to continue kissing her.
The occasional sounds of two water splashing together were drowned out by the opera singing on the stage, and no one else noticed it at all.
Apart from......
Sui Yu's eyes were hazy. She experienced the shock of "a short separation is better than a new marriage" for the first time. She had only not seen Xia Mochi for one day, but she already looked like this.
The kiss became deeper and deeper, his hot breath tightly wrapped around Sui Yu and refused to let go. The extremely aggressive wet kiss almost made Sui Yu soften in his arms and let him do whatever he wanted.
In particular, Sui Yu quite likes this feeling.
Something unprecedented out of the ordinary, immersed in a taboo atmosphere, a decadent and uncontrollable obsession swept through Sui Yu's entire body.
It seemed as if everything was separated from her by a layer of shield, and she could only vaguely hear one or two sounds, but all her mind was focused on the man who was kissing her more and more deeply.
She lived cautiously for the first twenty years of her life, but when she finally reached a high position, she found herself living in the same room with her former enemy, and even hanging out with his son...
Her heart was trembling, and under the multiple stimulations, Sui Yu became weaker and weaker.
She completely trusted Xia Mochi, knowing that he would never damage her reputation, so she could fully enjoy the pleasure of the moment.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.
The play on the stage stopped at the right time. Xia Yan, who was engrossed in watching the play, also heard the noise and turned around to look over with a smile.
