Chapter 134: Skillful as a tongue
"Your Majesty, I have failed to discipline my concubine. Please punish me." After scolding Yuntao, the imperial concubine knelt down and admitted her mistake with red eyes. She looked very charming, and her tearful eyes looked like she was very old. The grievances are the same.
"Hey! Dear concubine, please get up quickly!" The emperor hurriedly bent down to help the imperial concubine, "How can it be your fault, dear concubine? It is the fault of the father if the son does not teach. It is all because of my lack of discipline. I have been busy with government affairs these years. , the discipline of Tao'er is indeed a little less, everything is disciplined by the concubine alone.
My beloved concubine not only has to discipline Tao'er, but also helps me manage the harem together with the queen. Naturally, she cannot do everything. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." The imperial concubine sat on her seat with the support of the Emperor, took out a handkerchief, and pretended to wipe her cheeks that were not wet at all.
"Why do you have to say such things, my beloved concubine? Don't you treat me like an outsider?" The emperor patted her hand to express comfort.
"That……"
"Your Majesty!" Before the imperial concubine could finish speaking, Zuo Xiang's interruption skill was activated again, interrupting the imperial concubine in time.
Seeing that her intention to plead for Tao'er was discovered by Zuo Xiang, the imperial concubine glared at Zuo Xiang fiercely and kept silent.
The Prime Minister Zuo ignored the fierce look in the imperial concubine's eyes, knelt down and continued to speak, "Your Majesty! Your Highness, King Qi, did something immoral and immoral in this pure land. It is simply out of order. I sincerely request your Majesty to severely punish King Qi!"
"I beg your Majesty to severely punish King Qi!" Seeing their leader's attitude, all the ministers kowtowed and agreed.
Whatever the leader says is what he says, no matter whether he is right or wrong! Even if he is wrong, if the leader says he is right, he is right.
The emperor was interrupted by Zuo Xiang, who was having sex with the imperial concubine. Even though he had been in power for many years and no matter how deep the city was, there was still a trace of displeasure on his face.
I saw a group of ministers who didn't even eat, and took this issue seriously, as if if you don't punish King Qi, we won't get up. The clay figurine was still very angry, let alone the emperor. He was so angry that he ignored the two beauties beside him and slapped his palm on the table angrily.
"Bang!" The huge movement caused the entire already silent dining hall to become even more silent.
The ministers led by Zuo Xiang lowered their heads. Seeing the emperor's anger, they even started to breathe carefully.
"You old guys! What? Are you going to rebel?!" the emperor angrily shouted, "Do you really think that I am easy to bully?! Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?!"
"Come here!" The emperor became more and more angry as he spoke. He was so angry that he called the guards directly.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" When the Queen saw that the Emperor was angry, she quickly stepped forward to dissuade him. The Imperial Concubine no longer acted coyly and joined the Queen in persuading him.
The imperial concubine stood up and took the handkerchief, and kindly expressed her kindness to the emperor. At the same time, she also gave advice, "Don't be angry, your emperor. Take care of your dragon body! What the left minister and his ministers said is indeed reasonable. They must severely punish Tao'er. Tao'er is indeed It's outrageous that Miss Snow gave him a good look, but he couldn't find Bei. He actually dared to break into the temple when there was no one there, broke into the door, and lusted after Miss Snow. If Miss Snow hadn't been smart, she didn't let him go. He succeeded, otherwise a good girl would probably be... ugh!"
Seeing the emperor's solemn face, the queen quickly tried to persuade him, but instead of following the emperor's concubine's words, she went against the emperor's concubine.
"Your Majesty, it is true that I think Yuntao's behavior is immoral, but at noon, Miss Xue and Yuntao were in love with each other. Your Majesty also saw it.
Moreover, Your Majesty, you also know that it is difficult for men to withstand temptation. In particular, Miss Snow is so charming. Although she is not as beautiful as the imperial concubine, she can still be regarded as a beauty with beautiful face and moonlight appearance.
You also know Yuntao's temperament. Since he was a child, he has seen beautiful women unable to walk, so naturally he cannot avoid being vulgar.
Therefore, I believe that Miss Xue must have said something to Yun Tao that caused him to misunderstand her, so she was so reckless and almost did something irreversible. "
"Then according to what you said, Queen, how should I handle this matter?"
"Back to the Emperor, how about we handle this matter as before?" the Queen whispered in the Emperor's ear.
"What happened before? Queen, you mean..." The emperor glanced thoughtfully at Meng Ruoxi, who was sitting next to Bi Yuntao, and understood.
Zuo Xiang has been in the court for so many years and has served the emperor for nearly twenty years. Apart from the veteran general Xia Jie, he can be regarded as the veteran minister who has served him the longest.
Naturally, he was also very good at observing words and expressions, and the emperor's intentional or unintentional glances naturally did not escape his eyes.
Seeing that the emperor glanced at his daughter subconsciously, and coupled with the Queen's words just now, placing all the responsibilities on Xue Ruyue, he immediately understood the Queen's plan, and shouted in his heart that it was terrible, he was actually being used by someone. .
"Your Majesty! I have a suggestion, should I make it or not?" Zuo Xiang spoke quickly.
It’s impossible not to say anything. If your daughter marries the King of Qi, she will become the Princess of Qi and the royal wife of the King of Qi. If the two of them were allowed to discuss this in a low voice for a while, I'm afraid that with one order, my daughter would be reduced to a side wife. If this spread, where would I put my old face!
"Oh?" The emperor stopped talking with the queen and looked at the left prime minister, "What do you have to propose? But it doesn't matter."
By this time, the emperor's anger had subsided. He certainly knew what Bi Yuntao meant by doing this, and he was now pondering the possibility of the queen's proposal.
After he met Xue Ruyue, he found that Xue Ruyue was somewhat similar to his old friend. Although he had just sent people to investigate Xue Ruyue's family, he already thought that Xue Ruyue was the descendant of that old friend. .
Therefore, rather than Meng Ruoxi becoming King Qi's concubine, he hopes that Xue Ruyue will be King Qi's concubine.
But after all, Yuntao and Meng Ruoxi already had a physical relationship, and he couldn't regret the marriage. But if Meng Ruoxi was allowed to be his side wife, with the old dog character of the left prime minister, I might not be able to stop in these years. So when he saw that Zuo Xiang had built steps for him, he quickly borrowed the donkey to get off the slope.
At this time, Bi Yuntao was caught in the shock of the Queen and his mother singing in harmony, and his heart was extremely shocked at this time.
Could this Hanfeng Temple be my blessed place? ! I have done such immoral things, and there are still people who want to treat me as a peacemaker? ! And judging by the emperor's appearance, he seemed to be too lazy to take care of himself. If he hadn't been so annoyed by the left prime minister, he would have finished dinner by now and would have gone back to the room with the empress and his mother to do some inappropriate things for children.
But I have to say that the emperor’s physical strength is really good! I don't think at all what the rumors said, his life is not long.
Of course, he was prepared to be punished before coming here, but now it's probably about 80% or so, and he won't be punished? !
Meng Ruoxi had no interest in these intrigues. She ate the vegetarian food slowly by herself, while thinking about whether Xue Ruyue had discovered her intentions and whether she would come to attend her planned birthday. Banquet, I hope she won't be too stupid and make stupid decisions, otherwise, it will be more than just a punishment! When the time comes, don't blame this girl for being cruel.
"Your Majesty, I just heard what the Queen said and suddenly realized that I was confused and believed other people's rumors and wrongly blamed His Highness the King of Qi.
The whole thing was caused by Miss Xue, and His Highness King Qi acted too recklessly and acted without thinking. Both of them are responsible.
Now is the time when the Empress Dowager is offering incense and praying. She needs to keep quiet in front of the Buddha and not be too noisy. There has been no peace in the past two days. Therefore, the veteran believes that not only for the sake of the Empress Dowager, but also for the protection of the Buddha, let this person If a big thing becomes a trivial matter, it will be reduced to a trivial matter. If both parties are not punished, how about just letting it go? ! "
"Oh?" The emperor couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. You are the one who said he should be punished, and you are the one who said he should not be punished. As expected of you! Meng Laogou, you are responsible for both the good and the bad. What on earth are you going to do?
The Prime Minister Zuo was silent when he saw the Emperor, and looked at the Imperial Concubine's envoy crazily. I am trying to excuse your son. Please stop watching the show and say a few words for me.
The imperial concubine naturally saw Zuo Xiang's wink and sneered in her heart. You old dog, do you really think that I don't know what you are planning? ! Others don't know that I am so close to the emperor, so I don't know what the queen and the emperor are talking about? !
To put it nicely, you are thinking about your daughter's future status; to put it badly, you are thinking about your own face. Who in the whole capital doesn't know that what you, an old dog, care about most is your own face.
Last time Tao'er's matter was such a big deal, even if the emperor tried his best to hide it for you, wouldn't there still be some rumors spread?
Although Tao'er and Meng Ruoxi have a physical relationship, the emperor cannot regret their marriage, but he can make Meng Ruoxi his concubine. If the emperor really agrees to the queen's proposal, your whole family will really become the laughing stock of others. .
If Meng Ruoxi finds out that she has become the original tail of the side room, she will probably be in a panic again. If you want to raise your head above this court in the future, it will probably be difficult for you to reach the sky!
Of course, the slander was the slander, and the imperial concubine still advised the emperor for the sake of the left prime minister, "Your Majesty, I think what the left prime minister said is reasonable. The nightmare that the empress dowager had this time was that the emperor was chased by the ghosts of those who were killed by the sword. She was deeply afraid. My own children and grandchildren were also hurt and came here to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Tomorrow is the time to offer incense and pray for blessings. The Empress Dowager is currently fasting in preparation for offering incense and praying for blessings tomorrow. If the incident between Tao'er and Miss Xue becomes too big and this spreads to the Empress Dowager's ears, in case of delay, If you miss the auspicious time to burn incense and pray for blessings, not only will you complain, but the Queen Mother may also find it hard to feel at ease in the future. "
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The Empress also nodded in agreement, "If word spreads about delaying the Empress Dowager to offer incense and pray for blessings, I'm afraid it will be like your reputation. It will be bad for another person to have an unfilial reputation among the world. .”
"Yes! What the two beloved concubines said makes sense." The emperor nodded in agreement, "Then the matter of today cannot be mentioned again. If someone mentions it again and it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, don't blame me for not caring about the feelings of the emperor and his subjects. !”
