Chapter 556 Tell a joke
Gong Lixi stood up slowly, her phoenix eyes contained the majesty of her mother.

Xiao Qier's small body stood in front, facing the minister neither humble nor overbearing.

Gong Lixi said loudly: "Ministers, the late emperor's edict has been announced by the prime minister. Now that the crown prince is safe, I want to discuss with you ministers to choose a date to hold the crown prince's enthronement ceremony. I don't know what you think about it. ?”

Zhu Xiuzhi stood up and said, "Empress Empress, I have finished my preparations, and I will wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne."

"Okay!" Zhou An squinted his eyes and clapped his hands with a smile, "My lord, oh my lord, you have finally done a good thing."

"You..." Zhu Xiuzhi was ashamed and annoyed when he heard the words. Although Zhou An was praising himself, he also hurt himself for not doing good things before, which is really heartbreaking.

Zhou An glanced at the official minister standing behind him.

Shangguan was excited, understood, and quickly stood up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

If it wasn't for the crown prince and the empress, Zhu Xiuzhi lifted his foot angrily, blew on his beard, suppressed his anger, and asked through gritted teeth: "Master Shangguan, what are you seconding?"

Shangguan was stunned for a moment, not understanding how Zhu Xiuzhi's anger suddenly flared up at himself.

It was only after seeing Zhou An's restrained smile that he realized that he thought that the "seconding" he said meant seconding Zhou An's words that made fun of him.

So he explained again and again: "The minister seconded the prince's ascension to the throne as soon as possible!"

Then Gong Hao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Gong Yu's son, the young second-generation official, also expressed his attitude and agreed.

The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and several major officials expressed their approval, but Ouyang Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, refused to speak for a long time.

Gong Lixi asked with a smile: "Master Ouyang seems to have a different opinion."

Everyone's eyes fell on Ouyang Shu, his expression did not change, but he smiled.

"I've been around recently, I have time to go around the capital. I heard some jokes. I want to share them with the empress, His Royal Highness and all colleagues, so as to make fun of them."

Gong Lixi's expression changed, "I don't know what kind of joke it is, but Lord Ouyang attaches so much importance to it, it must be very funny, so please tell me about it, the palace and the prince really want to hear it."

Ouyang Shu raised his eyebrows: "Coincidentally, the empress should really listen to this joke, because it has something to do with the empress."

Gong Lixi said: "Oh? I am more interested in this way."

Ouyang Shu said: "I heard that when the empress was young, she was very close to His Royal Highness King Qi. At that time, King Qi had not yet left Beijing. The two of them were like childhood sweethearts, inseparable all day long..."

Gong Lixi's complexion changed, but she didn't make a sound to stop her.

"Later, the empress married the former emperor who was the prince at that time, but she was young and youthful, so it is understandable if she still misses King Qi in her heart. After all, His Royal Highness King Qi is in good health and looks good. I heard that many women love her. Secret promises, but all to no avail, so some ordinary people speculate in their idleness, could it be because King Qi is still thinking about the good relationship with his empress when he was a child?"

Gong Lixi's face darkened, and she shouted: "It's really nonsense!"

Ouyang Shu smiled: "Empress, don't be angry, I have already said it, but it's just a joke, just listen to it, don't take it to heart."

Gong Yu said with a livid face: "Master Ouyang specially brought these rumors to the court, and it was on such an important occasion, and now he doesn't care about saying it's a 'joke'. I really don't understand the truth. The mind of an adult."
