Mo Shu came in and put down the tray. Boss Mo winked at her and raised his eyebrows in the direction of Shen Jinyu. Mo Shu looked in the direction and her heart beat faster and she blushed when she saw Shen Jinyu's face. .

"Mo Shu, Mr. Shen is here for the first time today. Go and pour Mr. Shen a glass of wine." Boss Mo touched Mo Shu's hand. With a smile on her lips, Mo Shu carried the wine over.

"Master Shen,"

Shen Jinyu glanced at Mo Shu lightly, "You leave it here, I'll do it myself."

Mo Shu immediately froze on the spot, at a loss. She blushed and continued: "Master Shen, everything is fine. Let Mo Shu pour it for you."

Shen Jinyu sat still and ignored him.

Mo Shu glanced at her sister anxiously. Boss Mo did not expect that Shen Jinyu would be so cold and that his sister would show no reaction to her good looks.

Someone on the side joked, "Boss Mo, you don't know something. There are beauties in Master Shen's house. It is said that Master Shen took his sweetheart over the next day after returning to the house. Master Shen is single-minded. Apart from the beauties in his house, there is no one else." If you don’t look at others too much, why don’t you ask Sister Mo Shu to help me pour the wine, and then you don’t have to worry about Master Shen.”

"That's right," Xue Ye rubbed his face, "Don't even think about it, Boss Mo. Master Shen has a sweetheart."

Shen Jinyu looked at them with a gloomy expression. He did have a sweetheart, but it was not Yue Ling in his house.

The rumors about Yue Ling's stay in his mansion have become so outrageous outside. It seems that he needs to be dealt with properly when he returns home. Otherwise, Qi Yue will definitely be unhappy if he hears these rumors.

The meal lasted until midnight. It was already very late when Shen Jinyu returned to the mansion. As a habit, he went to the study to write for a while. Lin Qingqiu stood quietly to one side. He asked while writing,

"Have you heard any rumors outside these days?"

"Rumor?" Lin Qingqiu was confused for a moment.

"He said there is a beauty hidden in my house."

Lin Qingqiu reacted: "There are such gossips. Some people who watched Miss Yue Ling enter the house said that she is the lady's confidante."

Shen Jinyu: "You can spread the word tomorrow and make up any excuses you like. But don't let me hear about beauties or beauties again."

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Tao has already read the roster for the Spring Recruitment of the Potian Army, and he can start preparations after he stamps his seal. There are many things to do, so Shen Jinyu took the brochure and went to the palace in person to find Lu Tao. He went to Yangxin When I was in the palace, Lu Tao was making lanterns.

Shen Jinyu bowed politely and said, "I have seen the emperor. The emperor is well!"

"Without courtesy, brother, please come and see how this lantern is doing." Lu Tao called Shen Jinyu "brother" in private when no one was around, and Shen Jinyu accepted it peacefully. Anyway, he didn't say anything to Lu Tao. listen.

He walked up and took a look. Lu Tao made a lotus lantern. Each petal of the lotus was woven with bamboo strips, and the shape was lifelike. The outermost layer of the lotus was hung with a string of pearls, which looked expensive. Full of energy.

The lotus flower has been finished, and only the final coloring is needed. However, this lamp is already pretty enough. Lu Tao is indeed very skillful in making these things.

Shen Jinyu nodded appreciatively and plucked the pearl chain on the petals, "Why is Your Majesty making the lotus lantern?"

"Given to Concubine Li. The concubine is pregnant. This is my first child. In order to thank her, I specially made a lotus lantern with my own hands to give it to her. This lantern can replace the bedside candle. It is both beautiful and practical. If you want to go out, put a handle on it and use it as a portable lamp. Concubine Li likes lotus flowers the most, so she will definitely like this lamp too."

Shen Jinyu looked at Lu Tao's face full of happiness and expectation, and thought to herself that it is not easy for an emperor, Lu Tao, to be so sincere and sincere towards the concubines in the harem. Moreover, Shen Jinyu had already heard that Lu Tao's back seat had always been vacant. , no matter how the ministers of the court urged him to become a queen, he remained unmoved. In fact, he wanted to wait for the person he truly loved to appear and welcome her to the throne, regardless of her status.

Because Lu Tao believed that the queen was his legitimate wife, and he needed someone he truly loved to be his wife.

The king of a country has the most common ideas of etiquette.

Lu Tao was indeed a benevolent monarch, which was a blessing to the people, but if he was too kind, he would also cause suffering for the people in the future.

Shen Jinyu: "Your Majesty must have liked the preparations you put in so much effort,"

"She is pregnant with my first child. No matter what, I have to thank her. By the way, brother, why are you here to report today?" Lu Tao put down the lotus lantern and gave Shen Jinyu a seat.

Shen Jinyu put the roster in front of Lu Tao and sat down, "This is the roster for the Spring Recruitment of the Potian Army this year. After the name is the family background of the person who applied for the exam. If your majesty reads it and there are no problems, I will prepare it." Let’s do it.”

Lu Tao flipped through the roster and nodded: "No problem, brother, feel free to do it, but you have to be the examiner yourself, don't let others take advantage of the loopholes. If you have any questions, you can also ask Qin Huaiming, the chief assistant. Lord Qin, including me, he has assisted three generations of emperors, you can trust him completely."

Qin Huaiming was a man of high integrity. Shen Jinyu had heard of him and he nodded.

"Master Qin is different from the ministers like Master Fang. Even though he is older, he is open-minded. Because of your appointment as a lieutenant, many ministers raised objections during cabinet discussions, but Master Qin dismissed them all. , you get to know him better, and if someone impeaches you in the future, you will have someone to help you. After all, I am the emperor, and it is difficult to be partial." Lu Tao said earnestly.

Shen Jinyu knew that Lu Tao was doing this for his own good. On the first day he went to court, there was a rumor in the court that he had a bad temper and choked people when he spoke. Except for those who fawned over him, everyone else and Fang Changan Most adults don't like to see him.

Qin Huaiming, as the first assistant of the Jin Dynasty, was worth more than ten thousand people. If he had a better relationship with him, there would be many benefits. But Shen Jinyu was not a person who liked to take the initiative to please anyone, so he only replied lightly,

"Let it go. People who like me will naturally like me. If they don't like me, it doesn't matter if you put a knife to his neck."

"I also like to follow fate," Lu Tao agreed with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have always wanted to ask you a question." Shen Jinyu thought for a moment and finally asked. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"You want to ask me why I trust you so much?" Lu Tao noticed Shen Jinyu's question and looked at him with a smile.

Shen Jinyu was stunned and nodded.

"Actually, speaking of it, I still have to thank Qi Yue," Lu Tao sighed, looking through Shen Jinyu and looking at the window behind Shen Jinyu.

The sunshine in March is just right, the sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the flowers and plants outside the Yangxin Hall are shining brightly.
