Chapter 169: Minister Lin: Hehehe! It's your turn to taste the bitterness of overtime work! !
The first wife of the Marquis of Ruyang was of ordinary origin. She was not from a powerful family in the capital, but the daughter of an ordinary merchant.
However, the red thread of fate closely connected them. By chance, the two met and fell in love.
However, this relationship between two people from different social classes was naturally strongly opposed by the old Marquis of Ruyang and his wife.
Faced with the obstruction of his family, the Marquis of Ruyang did not give up easily. He knelt outside the study for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, and used practical actions to show the old Marquis of Ruyang and his wife his determination to marry his wife.
In the end, the old Marquis of Ruyang and his wife were moved by their son's sincerity, and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
When he learned that his parents finally agreed to the marriage, the Ruyang Marquis, who had been holding on, felt relieved and fainted on the ground in an instant. His physical condition became extremely weak.
He was originally in poor physical condition, and after this ordeal, his vitality was severely damaged, as if he had lost half his life.
The old Ruyang Marquis was extremely anxious. In order to save his beloved son, he had to go to the palace to beg the emperor for a precious century-old ginseng.
At that time, Emperor Jin Yuan was still the prince and happened to be present, so he remembered this incident clearly.
Perhaps it was because of knowing the background of Ruyang Marquis's first wife that Xie Rouer had the illusion that she also had the opportunity to marry into the Marquis's mansion.
But Emperor Jin Yuan really didn't expect that this woman would be so cruel!
She actually chose a strong aphrodisiac. You know, if she doesn't do it within half an hour, the Chinese medicine practitioner will probably die!
This is simply not giving the other party any chance to survive! !
When Marquis Ruyang announced to the outside world that he was unable to have sex, Emperor Jin Yuan once suspected whether it was because Marquis Ruyang was injured and could not get over the death of his first wife, so he wanted to use this reason to persuade those women who wanted to enter the Marquis's mansion to withdraw.
After all, how can a man say that he is not capable? Which man would make such a public announcement unless he had to!
At that time, he also specially rewarded Marquis Ruyang with a hundred-year-old ginseng, hoping to help him recuperate and regain his masculinity.
As a result, who would have thought that what Marquis Ruyang said was actually true, and he really couldn't do it!
If he had known this, he should not have rewarded the 100-year-old ginseng...
Ahem, of course, it was not because he was stingy, but because the 100-year-old ginseng was too rare and precious! There was not much left in his own private storehouse...
Emperor Jin Yuan finished eating the melon leisurely, and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner happily. He was planning to go to the harem tonight.
After all, he hadn't visited the harem for a long time, and it was time to visit the empress.
In addition, it was a good opportunity to share the fresh melon he had eaten today with the empress! Hehe!
Thinking about it, Emperor Jin Yuan couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile.
This melon is meant to be shared and eaten with others, that's even more exciting! !
If the Empress knew what Emperor Jin Yuan was thinking, she would definitely say: Your Majesty, you don’t have to come here! The Queen Mother has already shared the melon with everyone before you!
There is really no need for you to come here, you can go wherever you want, just don’t come to the harem! She still has to savor today’s melon with her sisters tonight! ! But there is no time to entertain Your Majesty!
However, Emperor Jin Yuan did not know that the women in his harem had no interest in his visit at all.
In the past, these concubines liked to play games such as playing leaf cards to pass the time.
Now they are eagerly looking forward to eating all kinds of fresh melons all day long, and often direct and act in them themselves, having a lot of fun!
Because of this, they were more and more annoyed with the arrival of Emperor Jin Yuan! It really took up too much time for them to have fun!
Poor Emperor Jin Yuan didn't know that he had been rejected by his women...
Just as Emperor Jin Yuan was about to get up and go to the harem, a black shadow rushed into the hall like lightning and landed steadily on the shoulder of Eunuch Li.
Seeing this, Emperor Jin Yuan and Eunuch Li stopped immediately.
Eunuch Li quickly untied the letter tube from under Little Eagle's feet, carefully took out the letter inside, and then respectfully handed it to Emperor Jin Yuan.
The face of Emperor Jin Yuan showed no sign of joy or anger, and his eyes revealed a barely perceptible nervousness. He thought to himself: I wonder if the news sent this time is a sign of joy or sorrow?
Emperor Jin Yuan took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his right hand, gently pinched a corner of the creed, slowly unfolded it, and his eyes fixed on the creed.
As his sight gradually scanned the words on the paper, his originally tense face gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After just a few breaths, a hearty laugh echoed throughout the hall.
The palace maids and eunuchs outside the hall heard Emperor Jin Yuan's laughter, and they couldn't help but complain in their hearts: It seems that His Majesty has had a lot of good things recently!
Speaking of which, since Xiao Fuguan came to court, His Majesty has been happier!
Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Fuguan is indeed a blessed man. He must have brought His Majesty a lot of good things, which made His Majesty so happy!
Emperor Jin Yuan calmed down his excitement a little, and then ordered loudly: "Li Fuquan, quickly go and tell the Minister of Works and the Minister of Agriculture to stay at the office tonight and pay close attention to all unusual movements! Tomorrow morning in the court, you must report all the situations to me in detail!" When Eunuch Li
heard the slightly anxious voice of Emperor Jin Yuan, he knew in his heart that this matter must be very serious, so he responded without hesitation, and immediately turned around and ordered his men to notify the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Agriculture.
At this moment, Minister of Works Zhou Tishou and Minister of Agriculture Liu Wenzhou were both in their respective residences. They had just finished dinner and were planning to rest early and conserve their energy so that they would have the energy to have fun and eat melons tomorrow!
Oh no, no! They should have more energy to handle government affairs!
However, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door of the two residences, which completely broke their plan.
Not only that, they were destined to be busy tonight!
The housekeepers of the two residences brought the eunuchs in the palace and rushed to their masters in a hurry.
After the eunuch conveyed the emperor's order, the two adults showed a trace of doubt in their eyes, but on the surface they hurriedly agreed, quickly changed into official uniforms, and rushed to their respective offices.
Minister Lin: Hehehe! It's your turn to taste the bitterness of overtime work! ! Today he can finally catch up on his sleep...
What Minister Lin doesn't know is that he will start a new round of blind date journey from tomorrow...
And this night is a sleepless night for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture!
If the two ministers were to sum it up, they would only use two words to describe it: exciting!
