Chapter 209 Test
Zhao Liming was very sensitive to the key information in Zhao Hongjing's words and asked, "Second Uncle, do you mean that you could hear Xiaoxiao's inner voice before?"
Everyone was silent. Zhao Hongye couldn't figure out why.
Before, only the three siblings and Su Bowen and Su Changhe could hear Xiaoxiao's inner voice. Liming and his brothers and the people of the Tang family couldn't hear it. He thought that only the three generations who were close could hear it.
Now not only Liming and his brothers can hear it, but even Li Yunshu can hear it. What went wrong?
Zhao Liming was the smart one. He said, "It was mentioned in the new student's speech that the goddess's blessing is bestowed on all those who worship her. Second Aunt has also worshipped the ancestral temple with us in recent years. Could this be the reason?"
Zhao Hongye nodded in agreement, "It's possible." "
But what is the relationship between the goddess and Xiaoxiao?" Zhao Liwu still didn't understand.
Zhao Antai thought further, "There are so many people who worship the goddess. If so, many people can hear Xiaoxiao's voice. This is not good!"
Zhao Hongye was also anxious, "Father, do you know who worships the goddess's relics?"
"Let me think about it!" Zhao Antai was calculating in his mind.
At this time, the holy light that ordinary people could not see spread out from the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, split into countless parts and scattered in all directions.
One of them fell on the Imperial Palace, one fell on the Grand Tutor's Mansion, one fell on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the Ruyang Prince's Mansion in Shuzhong received the holy light. There were
also many scattered holy lights that fell on those simple and kind people.
Zhao Antai finally said, "Prime Minister Pei's residence and Grand Tutor's residence should have it."
Xu said without hesitation, "Then let's give it a try, can they all hear it? This is just half a banquet to celebrate Hongye's exoneration!"
Zhao Antai nodded, "Let's do it this way, Yunshu, you and Hongjing have to stay at the mansion for a few more days, and the four of you brothers, you only need to know that you can hear Xiaoxiao's thoughts, especially don't let Xiaoxiao know."
Zhao Hongjing and Zhao Hongye scolded the four children again, and then went to Zhao Wanyue to discuss the next things.
Jing'an Marquis's residence has always been low-key, so no one thought it was strange that his family only invited Grand Tutor Tang's family and Prime Minister Pei's family to the banquet.
Because of Su Xiaoxiao, Prime Minister Pei was also very happy to make friends with the Zhao family, and personally brought Madam Pei and Pei Yuan to the banquet.
The Tang family was even more lively, with Grand Tutor Tang and Madam Tang, Tang Yanjun and his wife, and Tang Yongning all coming.
The emperor in the Qinzheng Palace could no longer sit still. Zhao Antai, this old man, didn't invite me to the banquet.
On second thought, no one would dare to invite him to the banquet. Even if he was invited, he could only give gifts. Thinking of this, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
Who said that being an emperor is easy? You can't even join in the fun. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
No, he has to go too! The emperor made up his mind and asked Yang Shun to call the prince, and the prince was followed by his little follower, the ninth prince.
Gu Huaiyu asked patiently, "Father, I wonder what you want me to do!"
He was about to take the ninth prince out of the palace to join in the fun at the Marquis of Jing'an's residence when Su Changhe brought him a message.
"How are your studies going recently?" The emperor avoided the question.
"My brother is doing very well, and the tutor always praises him!" Gu Huai'an couldn't wait any longer, and he wanted to find Xiaoxiao. Father was really a fool, why did he call them here at this time?
The emperor smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "In that case, I will take you out of the palace. I heard that the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is holding a banquet. Let's go and take a look. Zhao Antai's knowledge is no worse than your Taifu!"
Gu Huaian got a headache when he heard about studying: "Father, aren't we going to a banquet? Why are we talking about knowledge again!" Seeing
that his brother had let the cat out of the bag, Gu Huaiyu hurriedly said, "Huaian also said that he hasn't seen Xiaoxiao for a long time. Thank you, father, for taking us out of the palace."
The emperor was even happier to have such a step, and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"
When the emperor arrived, Zhao Antai had just led Tai Shi Tang and Prime Minister Pei to sit down. When they heard that the emperor had arrived, everyone hurried out to greet them.
The emperor called up those who were kneeling on the ground and said, "We are not in the palace, so please don't be polite. I just come to ask for some wine!"
Everyone sat down, and Gu Huaian didn't notice Xiaoxiao, and he was anxious: "Xiaoxiao is not coming?"
"Ninth Prince, Xiaoxiao will be here soon!"
As soon as the words fell, Su Xiaoxiao came trotting over. She was wearing a green dress, and the little braid on her head was still standing upright defiantly, swaying with her steps, which was very cute.
Everyone looked at her with a smile, but she had a bitter face: "Why do you have to dress up? There are so many people in this room, is there any need to dress up? You're disturbing my dinner!"
Xiaoxiao's high emotional intelligence complaint swept away the serious atmosphere brought by the emperor, and everyone laughed.
Prime Minister Pei immediately said: "Hahaha, Xiaoxiao said it well, the emperor and his subjects are one, we are all family!"
Tang Taishi glanced at Prime Minister Pei opposite him, and said indifferently: "Prime Minister Pei really knows how to speak."
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at them and muttered in her heart: [These two really start to quarrel as soon as they meet. Don't you know that the greatest pleasure of the emperor in the morning court is to watch you quarrel! 】
The Zhao family were all carefully observing the reactions of Grand Tutor Tang and Prime Minister Pei. Prime Minister Pei could not see anything, but Grand Tutor Tang could not help but look at the emperor.
The emperor, as always, acted as a peacemaker. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said, "Good wine! Lord Zhao went to Xiling to provide disaster relief this time. You worked diligently but still suffered an unjust accusation. I am sorry for you!"
Zhao Hongye hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground: "I just did my duty, how can I be wronged! It's just that the matter of Xiling has not been dealt with completely. Please allow me to go back and complete the unfinished business."
The emperor personally stepped forward to help Zhao Hongye up and said, "I remember that you have eaten a lot recently . "It's hard. I was planning to let you rest for a few days. Since you care about the disaster area, why don't you take the disaster victims from Xiling with you in a few days!"
Pei Yuan said frankly: "I'm afraid those disaster victims don't want to go back yet. After all, Wang Duozi hasn't been executed yet!"
Su Xiaoxiao buried her head and sat beside the prince, eating meat, complaining while eating: [It has to be you, Pei Yuan. My uncle just didn't know how to start the conversation. You've helped a lot. It seems that the insect has not been used in vain!]
The emperor heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice again. He pretended to be calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. This is so interesting. Today's trip was not in vain.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything and didn't even eat the meat, Su Xiaoxiao asked directly and aggressively: "Uncle Emperor, are you not going to deal with Wang Duozi?"
