Chapter 94 Waiting for her
There was a slight commotion at the gate of the garden.

Mo Lingwei looked over immediately, but saw that it was Wei Shangshu surrounded by several officials.

He looked away bored.

Wei Shangshu walked all the way to the round table on the right side of Mo Lingwei.

At this moment, three adults have already been seated, they are General Zhennan, the Prime Minister and the old master.

They are all powerful humerus ministers in the court.

The position of Wei Shangshu was naturally assigned to this table.

He smiled and bowed to the three of them, except for the prime minister who didn't pay much attention to him, the other two returned a salute.

The old lady Fu was curious: "Master Wei, I heard that the emperor invited Ling Ai to the palace for a banquet. Why don't you see this lady Fu?"

Wei Shangshu had a regretful look on his face: "My little girl went to Xitai Village to open a shed to give porridge a few days ago, and she fell ill after coming back from the heat."

"There is such a thing." The old matriarch shook his head silently: "That's the old man's bad luck. I can't see Ling Ai calling the rain on the spot."

Wei Shangshu's superficial smile was not real: "Teacher, you are joking."

General Zhennan has a straight temper, he doesn't like to deal with people, and he is the only general at this table.

This would be listening to them playing games, drinking tea in silence one cup at a time.

Wei Shangshu turned his face and looked at the prime minister who was also silent sitting aside.

The prime minister is over thirty years old, and today he is wearing a green crane robe. His eyebrows and eyes are handsome, but not gentle, and his gaze occasionally raised is always a bit sharp.

Wei Shangshu asked with concern: "Master Prime Minister, I heard that you have been ill for a long time, have you been feeling better recently?"

The prime minister looked indifferent, and held a folded fan in his slender hands, which made him even more airy.

"No." His voice was cold, and his answer was very direct.

Obviously, the prime minister did not intend to deal with Wei Shangshu.

Wei Shangshu only felt a choke in his throat, and he forgot what he wanted to say.

He looked at General Zhennan again, and before Wei Shangshu could say hello, General Zhennan said, "The emperor is here."

The emperor came surrounded by people, followed by the graceful and luxurious concubine Li.

Everyone hurriedly got up to salute, the emperor raised his hand with a smile: "Today is Ling Wei's birthday, everyone gathered together is like a family banquet, so there is no need to be extravagant."

After finishing speaking, he took Concubine Li and sat down on Mo Lingwei's left.

The emperor smiled and said to Mo Lingwei: "Let's start the banquet, I'm here."

Mo Lingwei frowned, "Wait a minute, someone didn't come."

The emperor was taken aback.

I thought this kid was waiting for him!

Concubine Li smoothed things over with a gentle voice: "Ling Wei, the Emperor knows that it's your birthday, so he specially postponed the government affairs and came here. I'm afraid he will leave after a while. You see everyone has come, why don't we start?"

Mo Lingwei gave her a cold look: "My birthday, you don't have a place to talk, shut up, or get out."

In front of so many people, the crown prince didn't give Concubine Li a good face!
Concubine Li's expression froze, a little embarrassed.

The emperor had a solemn face: "Ling Wei! What did you say? Concubine Li is your elder after all."

"I'll wait for Shen Ningning, Chen Shaobei has already gone to pick her up." Mo Lingwei's tone was beyond question.

The emperor heard it.

Oh... Shen Ningning.

He softened his expression again: "Then wait, everyone wait together."

The eunuch asked the maids to serve melon and fruit snacks, and added tea and water.

The ministers chatted enthusiastically with the people around them as before.

During this period, Wei Shangshu took the initiative to walk to the emperor and explained with apology that his daughter could not come to the banquet.

Concubine Li sang along with him, showing great concern.

"What? Fuer is okay?"

"After taking the medicine, I was still groggy this morning, so I can't come."

The emperor had a half-smile, playing with the Buddhist beads in his hand, which were the same beads as the one in Mo Lingwei's hand.

He said slowly: "If you are sick, you should take good care of it. It won't do if it doesn't rain. Wei Aiqing, don't you think so?"

Wei Shangshu was sweating profusely on his back, and he still pretended to be normal.

He nodded and bowed: "The emperor is right."

Wei Shangshu returned to his seat in despair.

The emperor just said that, could it be that he completely doubted his daughter Wei Yufu's status as a blessed girl?

The usually calm and indifferent prime minister suddenly asked, and asked General Zhennan beside him: "Just now the crown prince said that he has to wait for someone. Listening to the name, it seems to have the word Ning?"

General Zhennan happened to have heard of Shen Ningning.

His son, Chen Shaobei, followed the prince, mentioning that Shen Ningning was very important to the prince countless times.

He replied in a rough voice: "It's a girl who once saved the prince's life."

"Girl?" The Prime Minister squeezed the folding fan tightly: "How old is it?"

General Zhennan thought hesitantly: "Six or seven years old?"

There was a trace of disappointment in the prime minister's dark eyes: "So big? What's your last name?"

"Surname Shen."

"Shen..." After hearing this, the prime minister's tone became even more dull.

Didn't seem to get the answers he heard.

General Zhennan nodded: "If the Prime Minister is curious, you will be able to see her when she comes."

Before the prime minister could speak, the old lady next to him stared at Wei Shangshu, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Master Wei, you don't look very well, are you worried about your daughter?"

Wei Shangshu scolded this old man in his heart, always looking for opportunities to trouble him.

On the surface, he still had to follow the words of the old master: "Yes, the little girl is very sick, and the emperor is also concerned about her asking for rain."

"Tsk!" The old matriarch shook his head: "The so-called spreading clouds and raining, if it really depends on a little doll, what's the use of those gods in the sky?"

"In my opinion, what the national teacher said back then is also false. The heaven is ruthless, and the emperor is kind enough to place all kinds of hopes. However, Master Wei, as a father, should know better than anyone else whether Lingai can really summon Yunyu."

Wei Shangshu's eyes were gloomy: "Teacher, what do you mean?"

The old matriarch stroked his beard with a smile and ignored him.

The Prime Minister who was sitting on the side said coldly at this moment: "What the Taifu said is not unreasonable."

"If Mr. Wei really loves his daughter, he'd better clarify Fu Nu's remarks for her, otherwise one day she won't be able to call the rain, wouldn't she be ridiculed by everyone?"

General Zhennan also nodded silently: "That's the reason."

The name of Fu Nu sounds good, but seeing Wei Shangshu's daughter, she is always ineffective, but she is often criticized by the emperor.

If you really love your daughter, you will hide it from the truth. I would rather not let her compete for the title of blessed girl, but let her grow up safely.

The prime minister's expression was a little dazed, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes became a little melancholy.

He coughed a few times, and the servant behind him immediately stepped forward: "My lord..."

The prime minister vomited blood a few times, and his body was so bad that he should go back to drink medicine.

"It's okay, it's the crown prince's birthday, let's sit down again." The prime minister said lightly.

He had to wait and see what that little girl surnamed Shen looked like.

Wei Shangshu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this table, he likes to listen to what no one says.

After two rounds of tea refills, Chen Shaobei hadn't brought Shen Ningning into the palace yet.

The emperor looked at Mo Lingwei: "I've been waiting for half an hour, Ling Wei, are you still waiting?"

Mo Lingwei's eyes were dark: "Wait. She will definitely come."

Shen Ningning promised him, she will not forget.

At this moment, Chen Shaobei's figure finally appeared at the gate of the garden.

Mo Lingwei's deep and opaque thin eyes finally showed a slight smile.
