Chapter 511 Full Moon Wine
The palace study.
Zhou Mo bent his body like a shrimp and said angrily: "As soon as I mentioned asking him to assist, Sun Shaozong kept calling you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's obvious that he is relying on his high position to ignore you, Your Highness!"
After a pause, he looked up at Prince Zhongshun's expression and said cautiously, "In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have had some intentions..."
Dang~
A tea bowl flew over and smashed into pieces on Zhou Mo's face. Before the pieces could completely fall to the ground, two lines of blood spurted out of his nose.
"What did you want to say?"
Prince Zhongshun's gloomy voice was like a ball of ice wrapped in his throat. As soon as he spoke, the temperature in the study suddenly dropped several degrees.
"The villain should die, the villain deserves to die!"
Zhou Mo didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe it. He knelt on the ground in a hurry and slapped himself several times. The blood from his nose drew a "rainbow bridge" on the ground. Then he heard King Zhongshun scolding: "Enough, you dog, stop playing the clown in front of me!"
When Zhou Mo heard Prince Zhongshun mention the word "clown", he reached out his hand and smeared the blood all over his face, then smiled and said, "In front of the prince, I am just a clown."
"snort."
King Zhongshun snorted coldly and stared at Zhou Mo's bloody face, but his thoughts had already flown elsewhere.
Although he had just sternly stopped Zhou Mo, he felt in his heart that Sun Shaozong's attitude was probably related to the crown prince - ever since he suggested that Emperor Guangde wait and see and try to have another son to replace the crown prince, although the uncle and nephew did not become enemies, there was a rift between them.
But wasn't it for them that I took the risk to deal with the Niu family this time? !
What a lack of consideration!
No wonder he was plotted against and even lost his life.
From this perspective, if the prince successfully ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Prince Zhongshun suddenly said angrily: "Go ask the Imperial Hospital. I have used the prescription for strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy for more than a year and have not seen any problems. How come it has been submitted for a month and it has not been presented to Your Majesty yet?!"
Zhou Mo hurriedly got up from the ground, went outside to wash his face, and found a way to stop the nosebleed. Then he rushed to the Imperial Hospital for further treatment.
Not to mention how he would report to Prince Zhongshun after returning from the Imperial Hospital.
As the night deepened, a dozen candles as thick as a child's arm illuminated the living room of the Sun Mansion as bright as day. At the table, people were toasting each other, and everyone's faces were flushed from drinking.
Especially Xue Pan, who hadn't had a drink for more than ten days. He finally got the chance to quench his thirst and without waiting for others to toast him, he rushed to drink.
Therefore, when others were only five or six points drunk, he was already completely drunk. His tongue, which had been swollen by alcohol, had no control in his mouth, and he dared to blurt out any mumbling words.
"Bao... Baoyu."
He put his arm around Jia Baoyu's neck and strangled him without any effort. He didn't care that Baoyu was sticking out his tongue. He leaned his head forward and asked vaguely, "What's wrong with our sister recently? Is she...pregnant?"
This "sister" naturally refers to the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun.
Logically speaking, asking about this in front of others is already a bit beyond etiquette, but this guy was completely unaware and said with a thick tongue: "I...I heard from others that my brother-in-law is old, and his thing is a little...not very useful. It's not...not hard...not soft..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone at the table suddenly changed color.
This is crazy!
He actually praised and criticized Emperor Guangde's reproductive system in front of so many people!
If this were to get out and people said that it was Jia Yuanchun who leaked the news privately, not only would her position as a seed player be in jeopardy, but the entire Rongguo Mansion might be in trouble.
By then, Xue Pan, the instigator, will naturally be in trouble!
"Big head Xue!"
Seeing that everyone had a strange look on their faces, Sun Shaozong quickly scolded, "Brother Lian is sitting right here, what are you talking about?"
But this was the "sister" in Xue Pan's mouth, and he referred to them as their cousin Wang Xifeng.
Jia Lian, who was 'innocently shot' next to him, dared not say anything?
Instead, he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and echoed, "You just drank a few more cups of cat urine, and you even dared to make up stories about me! Forget it, I'll wait until I have the time and show you my real ability!"
"I'm not talking about my second brother, I'm..."
Before Xue Pan could figure out what was going on, Liu Xianglian pulled him over and stuffed four ounces of shredded tofu into his head. Not only his mouth, but even his nose was almost blocked.
Feng Ziying acted as if he had picked up the wrong script, and said righteously: "This fellow is really vulgar, very vulgar! Come on, on such a nice day, stop talking about those cheap things, who will start the drinking game?"
As he said this, he pointed at Qiu Yunfei who was watching coldly and said, "Let's start with you."
Although the two men were able to make peace with each other thanks to Sun Shaozong's mediation, how could the old grudge in their hearts be resolved so easily?
Therefore, Feng Ziying looked for an opportunity to make Qiu Yunfei look bad.
But Qiu Yunfei had been working in the Criminal Law Department for so long, and he had not only lost more than ten pounds of fat. He rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "What kind of drinking order is this? Do you think others are idle like you, looking for someone to write for you all day long, and copying some sour poems and bad songs to fool me?"
"you!"
Feng Ziying jumped up and was about to explode, but was held back by Sun Shaozong, who angrily scolded him, "After all, we are celebrating your niece's full moon, can you all be quiet?"
Feng and Qiu looked at each other angrily, then turned away, but the lively atmosphere of the banquet was disrupted by them.
Seeing this, Lin Delu, who was sitting at the end of the table, hurriedly changed the subject with a shy face: "Sir, I heard that Wanping County Magistrate Xu Huaizhi will be demoted to another place to be a prefecture magistrate. He also said that it was the vacancy left by him, and he wanted to select someone from Shuntian Prefecture to fill it?"
"He is not from our government office."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "It's Su Xingfang, the county magistrate of Daxing County. He previously served as the county magistrate in the northwest for three years and as the county magistrate of Wanping County for more than a year. He received excellent evaluations every year. In terms of qualifications and ability, he is the best choice."
After a pause, he added, "Go back and tell Zhao Liben to give up the idea. In the past two years, we have been replacing people in our government like a revolving lantern. Now we haven't even decided on the prefect. How can we possibly transfer more experienced people from outside?"
Lin Delu's face froze. Only then did he realize that Sun Shaozong had already known about his private dealings with Zhao Liben.
He wanted to explain a few words, but Sun Shaozong had already changed the subject, so he had to keep the matter to himself for the time being.
