375. Chapter 375 Counting Horoscopes
Tang Zhen thinks that he should be the most aggrieved and helpless person in the world. It's fine if he can't marry his beloved woman, but now he has to help other men marry his beloved woman smoothly. Aggrieved?
But he couldn't refuse, because that person was the emperor.
He finally finished his work in the palace, and remembering the farce that came out from Wu's house today, he wanted to go to Lu's house to inquire.
It happened that Lu Lingzhi was also at home, so they started talking while drinking some wine in the study.
"The emperor doesn't even want to see me now." Lu Lingzhi smiled wryly at Tang Zhen. He thought that after he recovered, the emperor would reuse him again. Now that many days have passed, the emperor still hasn't summoned him. Apparently he didn't intend to give him any errands.
Tang Zhen didn't know why Mo Rongzhan suddenly left Lu Lingzhi in the cold. Although Lu Guifei was favored in the past, the emperor was definitely not the kind to reuse a person just because he favored a noble concubine, and he would not affect a minister because of a concubine's mistakes. Just like Prime Minister Xu, although Concubine Xu Xian was demoted, the emperor still valued Prime Minister Xu.
"Maybe the emperor still wants you to take care of yourself, not because he doesn't want to see you." Tang Zhen said to Lu Lingzhi.
Lu Lingzhi shook his head and smiled wryly. Tang Zhen didn't know, so how could he not know? The emperor is suspicious of him. He suspects that Shuang'er's pretending to be a savior has something to do with him. "It's not easy to find you for a drink recently. Are you busy?"
"I'm a little busy. The non-war agreement with Dongqing Kingdom has almost been negotiated, and now I'm waiting for them to send people to Jin Kingdom." Tang Zhen nodded lightly, and did not tell him everything the emperor asked him to do. Lu Lingzhi.
"Then... do you know what's going on about the emperor's marriage proposal to Yaoyao?" Lu Lingzhi asked tentatively. He felt more and more strange in the past two days. If the emperor really wanted to marry Yaoyao, If Yaoyao refers to marriage, why is Tang Zhen unmoved? He could still see that Tang Zhen cared about Yaoyao, now that he had such a good opportunity, why didn't he propose marriage?
Tang Zhen's hand holding the wine glass froze, "What's going on?"
"You clearly said earlier that the emperor wanted to make Yaoyao the empress." Lu Lingzhi poured him another glass of wine, "Could it be that something happened in Zhaojia Island that made the emperor change his mind?"
"I... When did I tell you that the emperor wants to make Yaoyao the empress?" Tang Zhen looked at Lu Lingzhi in shock, it was impossible for him to tell others about it casually.
Lu Lingzhi smiled and said, "I sent you back when you were drunk last time, and you accidentally mentioned it."
"This matter... don't talk nonsense." Tang Zhen remembered the time he was drunk last time, and wished he could slap himself twice. His drinking capacity is not bad, but because he was too sad that time, he drank too much wine. He can talk freely when he is drunk, and it seems that he will not be able to get drunk no matter what.
"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone." Lu Lingzhi said lightly, "Now can you tell me what the emperor is going to do?"
Tang Zhen smiled wryly and shook his head at Lu Lingzhi, "You have been with the emperor for so many years, don't you know him well? What the emperor does is always unexpected. In short, it is better not to inquire about this matter. The emperor... his claims."
Lu Lingzhi nodded lightly, didn't say much, just poured another glass of wine for Tang Zhen, "Recently I heard some rumors about the emperor..."
Is it a rumor about Ke's wife? Tang Zhen smiled in his heart, but put down the wine glass in his hand, he didn't dare to get drunk again, "It's good to hear anything, it's better not to hear it in front of you."
"That's right...it's better to pretend that you didn't hear anything." Lu Lingzhi smiled, but she was sure in her heart that many things the emperor did were for Yaoyao. If she guessed correctly, she would marry her The imperial edicts are all fake, they are made for others to see.
Tang Zhen asked with a smile, "Did Yaoyao go to Wu's house today?"
When mentioning the Wu family, Lu Lingzhi's face was a little gloomy, "It's just a clown, and it's just delusional."
Hearing that his friend's tone was a bit vicious, Tang Zhen looked up at him in surprise, and said with a chuckle, "You are the big brother who loves Yaoyao. Fortunately, Yaoyao is fine, but what about your other sister?"
When it came to Lu Jinger, Lu Lingzhi only said indifferently, "The old lady is in charge, so it's inconvenient for me to ask."
The two chatted for a long time, Tang Zhen saw that it was getting late, so he was about to say goodbye and leave, but Lu Lingzhi didn't keep him, and sent him outside the door, and was about to say goodbye when he saw Mrs. Chen, who was beside the old lady, coming over.
"My servant has met Lord Hou, the Marquis of Jingning." Madam Chen saluted, and looked at Lu Lingzhi with a smile, "The old lady knew that Jingninghou was here, so she specially asked this servant to come and ask Jingninghou to say a few words."
Lu Lingzhi froze for a moment, why did the old lady seek Tang Zhen?
Tang Zhen said with a smile, "Maybe it's been a long time since I greeted the old lady."
"I'll go with you." Lu Lingzhi said, he was also curious as to why Mrs. Lu was looking for Tang Zhen.
Mrs. Lu had just discussed with Mrs. Pei that she was going to find the abbot of Huguo Temple, and she heard that Tang Zhen was coming. She remembered that Tang Zhen seemed to have more contacts with the abbot of Huguo Temple, so she wanted to ask him for help. busy.
Tang Zhen came to the room and exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. Lu before hearing Mrs. Lu talk about the topic.
"Old lady, do you want to find the abbot of Huguo Temple... to give Yaoyao a horoscope?" Tang Zhen couldn't hide his surprise. Was it a coincidence that the emperor ordered him to find a way to take Yaoyao to Huguo Temple to give to the abbot? After seeing the previous one, Mrs. Lu asked him to help him to see the abbot. If he didn't know that Mrs. Lu would never know the emperor's arrangement, he really doubted that it was intentional.
Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, "It's not just Yaoyao, but also Yanzhi and others. I heard that the abbot of Huguo Temple's calculations are very accurate, so... I want to ask for it."
That would really save him a lot of effort, "Madam, I will arrange this matter for you. When the time is confirmed, I will let someone report back to you."
"Jingninghou, that's really troublesome for you." Mrs. Lu didn't expect Tang Zhen to agree so quickly, and she was so happy that she couldn't help but find Tang Zhen. Wanting Yaoyao to marry Tang Zhen, if the emperor hadn't intervened... It's useless to say these things, if possible, she hoped that Tang Zhen could bring up the marriage of the two families again.
Tang Zhen thought to himself that he did it like this, and it didn't bother him at all, "You are welcome, old lady."
Lu Lingzhi frowned, "Grandmother, why did you think of showing Yaoyao the horoscope?"
"Of course I have plans." Mrs. Lu gave him a look, she couldn't say in front of Tang Zhen that she was worried that Yaoyao's marriage would be hindered.
Tang Zhen thought that when Yaoyao went to the Huguo Temple, the emperor would find an opportunity to decree to abolish her as a princess, and his mood became sour.
