Chapter 194: National Prosperity
Liang Moyuan's voice was not small and everyone around could hear it.
Liang Shanyu was immediately panicked when she heard her say this.
Thinking of what happened to Xiao Linyu just now, she gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "You are always good at putting accusations on others. Stop talking nonsense here."
"Instead of arguing with me, you should think about how your stupid husband can win."
After saying this, Liang Moyuan no longer looked at Liang Shanyu's blushing face, but poured a cup of tea for Huo Jinjian.
When no one was paying attention, she took out a silver needle from her sleeve and tested it a little.
The silver needle is still shiny and is non-toxic.
No matter where you are, it is always better to be cautious.
"Please, my husband." Liang Moyuan or Huo Jin blinked to indicate that the cup of tea could be drunk.
The emperor saw this scene and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
There is no king who would not like to see his subjects have harmonious family affairs.
What's more, he is a minister whom he likes so much.
This also means that under his governance, the country prospers.
The purpose of today's palace banquet is to select a qualified person from Huo Jinjian and Huo Siyuan to serve as the management office.
In everyone's eyes, this is a lucrative job.
Even if they don't get the position in the end, they will still wait and see, wanting to know who will get the position.
Moreover, the director of the management department appears to be only a fourth-rank official.
But unlike other directors, it is not affiliated with any department and has independent management rights.
His immediate superior is the emperor, which is the biggest difference between him and other fourth-rank directors.
The special nature of this official position means that even if it is a sixth-rank official, many people will fight to get it.
So when the debate begins, the atmosphere must be extremely tense.
The emperor gave the maid beside him a look, and she immediately stepped forward and said, "Play music."
The sound of stringed instruments and orchestras slowly rose, soft and somewhat soothing.
Before they knew it, everyone was immersed in it and slowly forgot what would happen next.
After the song ended, the emperor's eagle-like eyes turned directly to Liang Moyuan.
"Madam Huo, what do you think is missing from today's palace banquet?"
Liang Moyuan was not at all panicked when being named by the emperor.
She stood up under Liang Shanyu's gloating gaze and bowed slowly.
Then he said calmly, "A gentleman is a gentleman. Today, in the palace, incense is burned, flowers are arranged, and paintings are hung. Everything is perfect, except for tea. Tea is the most indispensable thing for today's discussion. If you put too much effort into this matter, you will drink tea with a dry mouth. Naturally, you will know who is more attentive. Your Majesty is wise."
The kind of tea served on the banquet table cannot be compared with the tea of the Four Elegant Styles.
When the emperor heard Liang Moyuan say this, his eyes lit up.
In fact, he just asked casually.
The Four Refinements of a Gentleman are not necessary to be complete unless it is a special occasion.
Liang Moyuan's mind was quick and she answered almost immediately, which showed that she had been observing everything carefully since she entered the palace.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liang Moyuan carefully.
Liang Moyuan had won the favor of the eldest princess before, so he knew that this woman was no ordinary person.
The eldest princess has a difficult personality and rarely praises someone openly.
The emperor also knew what happened between Liang Moyuan and Xiao Linyu outside the palace just now.
He also recognized Liang Moyuan's ability to adapt to circumstances and speak eloquently.
Such a woman is worthy of Huo Jin's meeting.
"Jinjian, your wife is very good." The emperor nodded towards Huo Jinjian, his eyes full of approval.
Seeing no trace of modesty, Huo Jin said, "My wife is indeed the best."
The emperor smiled and looked at Liang Shanyu, who was standing aside with a serious expression.
"The Second Madam, like the First Madam, comes from the General's Mansion. Why don't you let the Second Madam take care of the tea ceremony?"
Liang Shanyu's eyes widened and her lips trembled.
It's not that she doesn't know anything about tea.
But when the emperor suddenly mentioned her like this, she lost her composure when she stood up and even bumped into the edge of the table, making a loud noise.
Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but frown.
Even though there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, the rules have always been that they are educated together without distinction.
Why is there such a big difference between these two sisters?
Seeing the emperor's frown, the prince cursed in his heart and quickly stood up to make amends for Liang Shanyu.
"I heard that the Second Madam nearly had a miscarriage a few days ago. I'm sure she's not feeling well. I also felt that she was groggy when I brought them to the palace."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression returned to normal.
"In that case, I won't force you to do anything."
