Your Majesty, You Can't

Chapter 139 - It's time for His Majesty to choose a concubine

It was only the second day of court in early spring, and Zhao Yin clearly noticed that He Lanzhi was not in the state after the spring break.

In the past, the prime minister who always expressed his unique opinions in the court has been extremely quiet these two days. It can even be said that he listened to other courtiers writing letters without saying a word, even if he wanted to make eye contact with him, He Lanzhi deliberately avoided his gaze, and instead stared silently at the right hand that had interlocked his fingers not long ago.

When he was accompanying him to work in the imperial study yesterday, He Lanzhi kept his ink hair down and reviewed the documents presented to him from the beginning to the end.Even if he consciously spoke to He Lanzhi, except for the topics related to government affairs, he would answer them well, and the other items were all perfunctory by the prime minister with a few words.

He Lanzhi... Is this an awkward situation?

Zhao Yin couldn't figure out what went wrong during the spring break that made He Lanzhi feel so resistant to him.It was clear that he had made an ambiguous gesture towards He Lanzhi that was more excessive than holding hands. Apart from showing embarrassment, He Lanzhi almost acquiesced in his behavior with half push and half.

Could it be that something bothered me?

It seems that I need to ask Ah Zhi to ask him clearly.

As soon as the political discussion was over in the morning, Zhao Yin didn't even have time to change the court clothes, so he couldn't wait to stand up from the dragon chair and wanted to stop Prime Minister He Lan who was leaving with all the ministers.Unexpectedly, several courtiers acted faster than him. They stepped forward to block his way holding the memorial, and respectfully saluted the young emperor Jishou.

Zhao Yin frowned and clicked his tongue lightly, raised his dragon boots to go around these ministers, and winked at the little eunuch at the side to tell them to entertain these ministers, and wait until he arrives.

However, these courtiers seemed to be determined not to let him go, they moved their knees a few steps to block Zhao Yin's way, and held the wat board again and shouted: "Your Majesty—"

In just a few short steps and a few words, Zhao Yin could only watch helplessly as He Lanzhi disappeared among the courtiers, and the slender figure in black court uniform gradually disappeared under the steps of the Jinluan Hall.

Damn, I can't catch up.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to report."

Zhao Yin sighed rather depressed, turned around and helped these ministers up one by one, and asked with a frown: "What do you love to say? Why didn't you say it in the early court?"

"Weichen and others feel that...it is better to discuss this matter with the emperor in private." The leading minister hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands and said, "Prime Minister He Lan also suggested this to us."

Hearing He Lanzhi's suggestion, Zhao Yin's frowning brows loosened slightly, "So, Zhu Aiqing joined together in private, what do you want to say to me?"

"Weichen and others have observed that there are only two auspicious snowfalls this year, so they wonder if His Majesty can hold some happy events to rejuvenate the country?" A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty will be eighteen years old in June this year. According to the patriarchal rules, you have reached the legal age for marriage, so the emperor should marry a concubine this year, right?"

Before Zhao Yin could answer, another minister also stood up and said: "Wei Chen and others just want to suggest this matter to His Majesty. On the one hand, the fortune of the country will be prosperous, and on the other hand, Your Majesty has no female relatives around. It is time to feel it." Nephrite is warm and fragrant, isn't it?"

This group of courtiers came to urge him to marry a concubine.

Zhao Yin reluctantly reached out to take the memorabilia in the hands of the second minister, and quickly scanned the contents on it.

What a boring book, these people really have enough to eat and have nothing to do, so they worry too much about him.

"The Prime Minister said that this matter is half of His Majesty's private matter, and should not be placed above the court. So let the minister wait to write a letter to His Majesty in private."
