Chapter 923

Liu Zhi looked at Ma Shang, who was looking at him with a dull face, with a very serious look on his face. "...Ahem, your Majesty is worried about the Empress, so it is natural that it should be, but for the sake of family affairs, this cannot delay national affairs..."

"Liu Xiang's words are wrong. Could it be that whether Your Majesty has children is not a big deal that concerns the country?" Ma Shang looked at Liu Zhi in surprise. That look like a revolutionary Red Soldier was looking at a traitor who betrayed the people.

The expression and eyes made Liu Zhi almost want to raise his hand to give the brat an old punch.

"How could you say that, Eunuch Ma? Liu Xiang is naturally worried about my country and country. This is why he has such a silly statement. Please forgive me..." Fortunately, an old driver who was even more slick next to him rushed out and interrupted.

"My elders, during this period, Your Majesty is worried about the Empress's body and the offspring in her belly, and she is very worried. Please be more considerate and mention less things that upset Your Majesty. Okay, our family will go to serve the official family. Please say goodbye..."

After saying that, Ma Shang left behind a group of important officials in the court, patted his butt and rushed to the back door. The important officials in the court looked at me and came to see you, and they were all speechless.

Liu Zhi stroked his beard for a long time, and stomped his feet helplessly and sighed. "Forget it, Your Majesty and the Queen have a deep affection, and they are worried about the queen's twins and are upset. It's not just Eunuch Ma who is talking nonsense. Let's put this matter aside for the time being..."

"But Liu Xiang, if you continue like this, what should I do..." The Minister of Rites couldn't help but say anxiously.

"Why, the Ministry of Revenue, the Third Department and the Privy Council are not in a hurry. Why are you, the Minister of Rites, so anxious?" Liu Zhi finally couldn't bear it, glared at the colleague fiercely, snorted coldly, and left.

"Mr. Hu, you are too impatient, it's not good." Zhu Guangting next to him couldn't help but laugh and patted the Minister of Rites on the shoulder, meaningful and authentic.

These days, it has been no longer a secret that several groups of Liao vendors have entered and left the residence of the Minister of Rites, but no one has said it.

Not only him, but also the envoy of the Liao Kingdom who stayed in the Song Dynasty, also visited and left the residences of many officials many times. This is the fundamental reason why everyone maintains a tacit understanding.

However, this Minister of Rites was too anxious. Such a style of conduct would not have any literati character, which was really disappointing.

After Ma Shang left the hall from the back door, he rushed for a long time. Soon, he saw the emperor Zhao Xu who was walking slowly and quickly gave a deep bow. "Official family..."

"Well, how about it, Xiao Ma Shang, how are those guys performing?" Zhao Xu nodded slightly to him and asked.

"As you told the ministers, I explained it to those ministers, and it really worked. The official was indeed wise." Ma Shang quickly slapped his butt over and raised his thumbs up to show that His Majesty is wise and powerful.

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing out loud, but after only a few laughs, he seemed to feel something was wrong, and coughed twice, speeding up his pace. "Let's go and visit the queen with me. I'm really worried about the queen and my two unborn children."

"Your Majesty, please wait..." Ma Shang quickly followed quickly and headed towards the Queen's bedroom.

Zhao Xu had just stepped into the hall and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "Mother?" At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiang was holding Empress Meng's hand and was not sure what to say, while Empress Meng lowered her head, her face full of difficulty, but she looked like she didn't know how to answer.

"It turns out that the official family has returned. Ai's family is thinking that the queen will be about to give birth in half a month, so they came here to take a look... By the way, Ning, why are you still standing there? Why don't you treat Your Majesty quickly?" Empress Dowager Xiang smiled and let go of the hand of Empress Meng and greeted Emperor Zhao Xu with a loving face.

Of course, I didn't forget to reach out and pull over a young woman dressed in a palace dress standing beside me.

"Minister Ning, I have seen Your Majesty..." The beautiful and pitiful Ning bowed to Emperor Zhao Xu slowly with a picture-like eyebrows.

Emperor Zhao Xu laughed, raised his hand to help him, and strode to Empress Dowager Xiang and helped him sit down. "No gift, Mother, please sit down quickly. The child just left the morning court. I was worried about Zitong's body, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect that Mother could hardly get up so early..."

"The Ai family is old, so how can they have so much sleepiness? Besides, my grandson is about to have, so the Ai family naturally has to walk around here more..." Empress Dowager Xiang said with a smile.

Emperor Zhao Xu chatted with Empress Dowager Xiang happily. The queen Meng, who was bent beside him, smiled, while the Ning clan stood quietly beside Empress Dowager Xiang, with a pair of watery eyes, and occasionally glanced at the pregnant belly of Empress Dowager Meng.

After talking for a long time without nutrition, Empress Dowager Xiang finally got to the point. "Your Majesty, now the queen is heavy, you are busy with government affairs, and you have to worry about the queen. The Ai family couldn't bear it. So, this woman, Ning, is virtuous, sensible, sensible, and knowledgeable, and is a rare good woman..."

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Xiang looked at the emperor. The emperor still looked smiling, but was unmoved. This made Empress Dowager Xiang feel a little angry, but she could only endure it.

"So... the Ai family thought that there were also individuals around Meng's side, so the Ai family chose such a quick-witted and flexible-minded woman to come to serve the queen..."

"How can the child not accept the kindness of the mother? Since that's the case, then you can stay." Zhao Xu smiled, still smiling, without any displeasure. Instead, a trace of worry flashed in Meng's eyes, but he still didn't speak in the end.

Seeing his son agreeing, Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Okay... just agree. Ning, you have to take good care of the queen and the emperor. Don't go to a business trip, otherwise, even if Your Majesty and the Queen spare you, the Ai family can't spare you. Do you understand?"

"Empress, the folk girl understands that she will serve the Empress and Your Majesty with all her heart, and dare not slack off at all..." Ning quickly fell to the ground, restrained her almost overflowing joy, and said in fear and fear.

After a few more gossips, Empress Dowager Xiang got up and left. As a son, Zhao Xu naturally had to personally deliver Empress Dowager Xiang to the door.

"The Queen can win two birds with her with one stone. This is a blessing for my Song Dynasty and a happy event for my royal family. I hope Your Majesty can bring more blessings to the rain and dew and make my Song Dynasty royal family..."

"My son understand, please be slow, be careful not to fall. After two days, the affairs in the court will not be busy. I will go to pay my respects to the mother son..." Zhao Xu nodded sincerely and agreed.
