In the afternoon, due to his swollen face, Zhao Yan only took a break for a quarter of an hour.

He came to the Chuigong Hall, and Empress Dowager Zhang followed him.

Zhao Yan had to cover his long scarf on his face again.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhao Yan with a covert face, without any surprise, but instead looked excited.

She waved her hand and asked the two maids around her to retreat. Only Zhao Yan was left in the hall. Xizi and her said, "Your Majesty, Wen Xiang has told me about your acne. At this age, it is normal. Don't be shy!"

Care for acne?

Zhao Yan was stunned and touched the two small acne on his forehead, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

As Zhao Yan, who has traveled through time for more than half a year, he knows very well what acne means.

This must be because Xiao Jingye and Cai You saw Zhao Yan's performance in the morning were not very natural, so they figured out the holy intention and thought that Zhao Yan was pregnant with acne.

However, Zhao Yan thought about it again and said that he was covering his face because of acne. This excuse is not bad, at least it is better than being infected with wind and cold.

"Thank you... the mother is concerned. Maybe she is a little hot in the liver, and it will be better in a few days!" Zhao Yan said with a blushing face.

Empress Dowager Zhang gracefully gave a sip of tea and said, "At present, the Ai family has found dozens of virtuous and kind women for His Majesty, and wait to pass all the unmarried women of the meritorious count. The Ai family has screened out several digits and then selected them for His Majesty to choose from?"

"I'm working hard for my mother. Actually... I'm not that urgent. Let's choose again after the New Year!" Zhao Yan said, after all, he was not eighteen years old.

"Okay, okay, the Ai family understands, the Ai family will arrange it." Empress Dowager Zhang showed a meaningful smile, and then stood up and returned to the palace.

Zhao Yan looked confused, not knowing what Empress Dowager Zhang understood and what to arrange.

At night, Zhao Yan finished rectifying the memorial in Chuigong Hall and returned to the inner court to prepare for a rest.

Suddenly, I found two young women standing at the door.

Zhao Yan was stunned and asked, "Xizi, what's going on?"

Xizi whispered: "Your Majesty, it was the Queen Mother who asked them to serve you, saying that it would relieve the acne on her face."

Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little amused. He finally understood the meaningful smile of Queen Mother Zhang in the afternoon, and the latter was considering her very comprehensively.

Although Zhao Yan believes that he is not a gentleman, he is unwilling to do such things, not to mention that he has a swollen face.

He waved his hand and asked Xizi to take the two women away.

Four days later, the bruises on Zhao Yan's face almost disappeared. If he didn't look closely, he could not see it anymore, so he no longer wore a long scarf to mask his face.

Near noon, the commander of the Imperial Army Shen Tuyi came to the Chuigong Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated Lu Nianwei's overall situation!" Shen Tuyi bowed and said.

Zhao Yan always thought this woman was very special, so he asked Shen Tuyi to investigate.

"Tell me carefully!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but become interested.

"Lu Nianwei comes from another place, and her specific household registration is unknown. She currently lives in the Wanbao Building, which is second only to the Baxianju. The owner of Wanbao Building, Wanhong, is her uncle. Lu Nianwei should have arrived at Wanbao Building half a year ago. I heard that this woman is quite business-oriented. The business of Wanbao Building is so good, which has a lot to do with her."

"Lu Nianwei is well-known, and it comes from two incidents. First, when the son of Caixiang, Kong Ze, saw Lu Nianwei's beautiful appearance, he wanted to touch him, and then was beaten by Lu Nianwei. Second, after Wenxiang's son, Xiao Zijie, insisted on writing poems on the wall after drinking. Because the writing was too bad, Lu Nianwei sent a friend to erase him. Young Master Xiao was furious and insisted on asking Lu Nianwei to argue with him. Then Lu Nianwei insulted him again, and was so angry that Young Master Xiao jumped off the building and broke one leg."

Zhao Yan asked with a smile: "She beat Caixiang's son and made Wenxiang's son break his leg. Can Caixiang and Wenxiang endure it?"

Shen Tuyi smiled awkwardly and said, "I have to say that the two adults are really role models of our generation. Master Cai Xiang heard that his son was teasing a woman outside, so he directly detained his son for a month's confinement. Wen Xiang became even more harsh. Mr. Xiao's literary attainments are indeed very average. After reading Mr. Xiao's poem, Wen Xiang almost broke Mr. Xiao's other leg."

Zhao Yan also heard some interesting stories about Mr. Xiao. He heard that when he was sixteen years old, he could not recite the entire article "Thousand Characters".

You should know that in this era, Thousand Characters are equivalent to the bright moonlight in front of the bed and a pure childhood enlightenment reading material learned in modern kindergartens.

Xiao Jingye has only one only son, but he did not expect to inherit any of his advantages. This is also a concern for him.

Shen Tuyi added: "There is another important message. This woman is not married yet. If Your Majesty wants, I can convey it on my behalf."

In the past few days, the fact that Zhao Yan was pregnant with acne has spread on a small scale. In addition, Empress Dowager Zhang issued an imperial edict, asking the relatives of the ministers to work together to find the queen for Zhao Yan. Therefore, after receiving Zhao Yan's investigation task, Shen Tuyi subconsciously thought that Zhao Yan had a good impression of this woman, so he asked for a special question.

"Shen Tuyi, when did you become a matchmaker? Why don't I ask you to go to the matchmaker professionally!" Zhao Yan rolled his eyes.

Zhao Yan admitted that Lu Nianwei's image and temperament did make him lit up. However, the latter's force is too high, and Zhao Yan is unwilling to get married again. After the two sides had an argument, they were kicked away.

"I don't dare!" Shen Tuyi said seriously.

Just then, a messy noise came from outside the door.

Xizi ran to the door quickly, and after the noise stopped, he quickly ran back.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works, the three of them asked for their visit."

"Let them come in!" Zhao Yan said.

Shen Tuyi, who was below, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that's the minister."

Shen Tuyi seemed honest, but in fact he was a ghost. He could hide if he could.

Zhao Yan waved his hand and said, "You go. If you want to ask for an official position as a matchmaker, I will definitely agree to you!"

Shen Tuyi showed a smile that was even worse than crying and left quickly.

When the Minister of Finance Kong Moshan, Minister of Revenue Chu Baolai and Minister of Works Chen Siyu walked into the hall, Zhao Yan was stunned.

The two Shangshus were dressed in disheveled clothes, messy hair, a grim expression on their faces, and bruised on their faces. It was obvious that they had just had a fight.

"I am going to see Your Majesty!" the three of them bowed at the same time.

"What's going on?" Zhao Yan asked.

Kong Moshan bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have some financial differences. The old minister is really powerless. I'll ask Your Majesty to make adjustments."

Zhao Yan looked at the two angry Lords Shangshu and couldn't help but feel a little headache.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, military generals did not fight much, but civil officials fought, which was a common occurrence. If there was a disagreement, they basically started fighting.

The late emperor was very anxious because of civil servants fighting, but he could never find a solution.

"I see that both adults are not angry and seem to be still not satisfied. If you don't fight again, whoever wins will be the first to say." Zhao Yan said sarcastically.
