"Slave... I don't know."
The maid said in a daze,
"This servant just received orders from the inner court and came here to serve Your Majesty."
Li Yuan's face darkened.
"Go and call all the slaves and maids who serve me. Call them here!"
He shouted coldly,
"Going right now!"
"Yes! Yes..." The maid was startled, responded hurriedly, stood up and left tremblingly.
Li Yuan stared at the wine glass in front of him, anger growing in his heart!
OK!
Well, Li Shimin, start stumbling upon me now, right?
What a good son, a filial son!
After a while.
There were hundreds of maids standing in the Liangyi Palace. These young women were all serving Li Yuan, and they were only one of them.
There are five such teams of palace maids in total, serving the Supreme Emperor's daily life for twelve hours without interruption.
Li Yuan walked up to them and looked at one and the other.
Finally, he confirmed a fact.
Most of those familiar faces have been replaced, and the new batch are almost all unfamiliar faces!
"Are you all newly transferred here today?"
Li Yuan asked with a stern face.
"Yes." The maids stood up and said.
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
Li Yuan received the response and couldn't help but sneered. The anger in his eyes was so intense that he couldn't help but shouted,
"Get out, get all out of here!"
"You've changed all the people around me, right? What's this? Does it disgust me?"
"Why don't we all evacuate everyone and leave me alone to fend for myself! Starve to death in this hall! Wouldn't Li Shimin's life be more comfortable?!"
"roll!"
Under the hysterical roar, all the maids looked frightened and at a loss as to what to do.
Fortunately, the foreman's maid hurriedly came out of the queue and responded:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is not replacing all the slaves around you, but the palace is currently laying off the maids."
"That group of palace ladies all had a particularly strong desire to return home, so they were all released from the palace."
Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
"Abolition?"
Instead of getting angry, he smiled and asked,
"Okay...reduction. Since we have to reduce the number of people, why do we only reduce it from my side? Why doesn't Li Shimin's East Palace reduce it?"
"Why, as the Supreme Emperor, I am not worthy of such treatment?"
The head maid shook her head.
"The Emperor has misunderstood."
She said,
"A total of 1,500 maids have been laid off this time. Your Majesty's East Palace has laid off the most, with 1,000 people. Your Majesty, you have only laid off 500 people."
"In addition, His Majesty also specifically ordered that although the staff has been laid off, there must be no fewer people serving the Supreme Emperor. How many people there were originally, and how many people must be now!"
"Therefore, the total number of slaves serving you has not changed, it's just that the old ones have been replaced by new ones..."
Li Yuan: "..."
After hearing this explanation, the anger in his heart was at a loss as to where to direct it.
The abolition was indeed abolished, but Li Shimin's series of follow-up measures could not find fault, and instead demonstrated his filial piety.
But even so, Li Yuan still felt unspeakably unhappy in his heart.
"...I understand."
After a long while, he waved his hand and said displeasedly,
"Then the current batch of slaves should be fixed, right? Will they be abolished again in the future?"
"I don't want to train my slave frequently, it's very tiring!"
However, this question made the head maid shake her head.
"This slave doesn't know."
She responded truthfully.
Li Yuan frowned.
This means...will Li Shimin take any further measures?
What does he mean! Is it coming for you? !
I was feeling unhappy when I suddenly heard a notification coming from outside:
"The Supreme Emperor, Shangshu Zuopu shot Xiao Yu to see him."
Li Yuan's face turned dark again.
"It's him again!"
He was particularly unhappy and said,
"No, no, no, no, no!"
"Let him go away, I don't want to see anyone now, especially him! Every time he comes, nothing good happens!"
"I hate him to death!"
This old boy originally sided with the King of Qin, but now he has completely become Li Shimin's man. There is definitely no good in coming to pay him a visit!
Li Yuan was in a very bad mood at the moment, so how could he still think about dealing with him?
"According to the order."
The eunuch who sent the message stepped out of the palace gate.
At this moment, Xiao Yu, who was outside the hall, had already heard what was going on inside, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
"Alas! It seems that I am already a first-rate disgusting thing among the Supreme Emperor..."
He couldn't help but sigh,
"But how would he know that I, an old minister, really do my best for him and want him to be more decent?"
"Well, as His Majesty said, maybe the time has not yet come..."
After saying that, Xiao Yu turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Li Yuan in Liangyi Hall suddenly turned his head.
"Tell him to come in."
He took it into consideration and suddenly changed his mind.
Xiao Yu, who was outside the palace gate, had not taken two steps when he heard the eunuch behind him say:
"Xiao Xianggong, Your Majesty, please come in."
"Huh?" Xiao Yu turned his head suddenly, showing surprise.
…
Inside the Liangyi Hall.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
After Xiao Yu saluted, he was about to speak when he saw Li Yuan throwing a wine bottle over.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense!"
He said impatiently,
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after drinking!"
"Come on, drink. Let's play guessing and betting. No matter how we play, whoever loses will drink!"
Xiao Yu: "..."
He was a little confused by Li Yuan's attitude, and before he could react, he had already downed a glass of wine.
"Cough, cough..."
This is strong liquor!
"Come on, guess what? Can Ding Ke know it?"
"Come on, guess!"
"You lose, hahaha, drink!"
"..."
Gudong, Gudong, Gudong!
Li Yuan's gambling luck seems to be very good today. He took the initiative and defeated Xiao Yu several times in the beginning and drank from him several times!
"belch!"
Xiao Yu's face turned red for a while, and he said in confusion,
"Your Majesty, I... I am really too drunk. I can't drink that much. I can't drink..."
"Please spare me, Hiccup!"
Xiao Yu's drinking capacity is considered to be the worst among Yuancong's heroes.
He advocates Buddhism and likes vegetarian dishes, not meat and fish, and he doesn't like drinking.
What Li Yuan drank was first-class spirits, not grape wine like a drink. Of course he couldn't resist it.
"No! Since you're here, you have to let me have all the fun you can!"
Li Yuan said reluctantly,
"What else would you do?"
"Come on, guess again, guess again, what should you guess this time?"
His eyes wandered around the palace, and suddenly stopped on a palace maid.
"Just guess her!"
Li Yuan said with a narrow look,
"Guess the color of her bellyband! How about that? Hahaha..."
