As soon as these words came out, all the ministers immediately held their breath, wanting to hear what the emperor would say.
"Xia Xiang has really impressed me many times."
Xia Mengshi nodded: "I don't dare to be a minister, but when I think that the prince's tutor is the teacher who teaches the prince and is the foundation of the country, I feel that I must choose him quickly. I just follow my instinct."
"Now that the Crown Prince is under the tutelage of King Li, the position of Crown Prince and Tutor can be temporarily vacant. I am not in a hurry."
After hearing this, Xia Mengshi added: "Although His Royal Highness Prince Li can teach the prince, he cannot stay in the East Palace for a long time. I think it would be better for your majesty to select the prince and tutor earlier."
After finishing his words, Du Hetian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "I have someone to recommend."
Chu Moyuan's face was slightly cold, but he still said: "Speak."
Du Hetian: "Xia Yu, Gong of Qingyang County."
Chu Moyuan sneered, "Mr. Convince Mr. Xia to return to the court and resume his official duties."
After hearing this, Xia Mengshi gritted his teeth. If the corruption between Xia Zichun and the former Shaofu Supervisor had not been exposed three years ago, why would the Duke of Qingyang County have to resign and become an official? It was not to settle the matter! I beg the emperor to give him a lenient sentence because he took the initiative to give up the throne!
"It seems that my reputation is no match for Master Du."
When Du Hetian heard this, his face immediately turned pale: "I have no such intention, Your Majesty..."
Chu Moyuan: "Well, now that Su Changhe's matter is not over yet, are the two dear ladies worried too early?
"Don't mention this again."
Du Hetian lowered his eyes, nodded, and stepped back.
Xia Mengshi, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he failed to say anything. Then he left the hall angrily after the morning session.
Shen Wanqi, who was about to go up and talk, took two quick steps, but ended up stretching the injured area and took a breath of pain.
When he raised his eyes again, Xia Mengshi's figure was nowhere to be seen?
Since he failed to help Concubine Wan intercede in front of the emperor last time, Xia Mengshi's attitude towards him has become much colder.
This made Shen Wanqi anxious and didn't know what to do. He thought about going back to his hometown to pick up some things and pay a visit, but he was told that apart from the monthly expenses for food and clothing, there was nothing extra left.
Shen Wanqi didn't believe it. When he asked, he found out that all the money had been sent to Princess Ancheng's courtyard, and there was no extra cent left.
Shen Wanqi was so angry that he felt dizzy. He was a dignified fourth-rank official in the imperial court, but he couldn't even bring out the greetings for a visit!
It's really too much!
Not only that, after careful questioning, Shen Wanqi found out that because of Princess Ancheng's attitude, she not only had to send money there every month, but also every day, so that the whole family was now living a difficult life.
As the New Year is approaching, the old lady wants to buy some new clothes but can’t afford it!
"I just saw the video of that little girl from Ancheng yesterday. She was wearing a new red dress and all the gold jewelry on her body. I'm so happy." Mrs. Shen sat on a chair with a cane, her face full of displeasure. .
"How did she know that the magical life she lived was only achieved through the hardships of Yingyu, Yinglian and her four daughters!" Mrs. Shen gasped in anger just by saying this.
Shen Wanqi was also a little angry after hearing this. Ying Yu and Yinglian were used to such a wealthy life, how could they get used to it if they were to suffer along with it!
There are also four children. It is the time when we are growing up and looking for beauty. How can we lack food and clothing?
The more Shen Wanqi thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, almost without spitting it out.
How could this tea taste so bad!
Aunt Zhang on the side said: "Master Hou doesn't know. Because of my wife's dowry... the family no longer has the money to buy the high-end tea in the past, so they can only buy ordinary tea in the market."
Shen Wanqi was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He put down the tea cup and stopped drinking.
"Fortunately, Qi'er is still young and doesn't need so many things, otherwise... I'll see if I don't beat them two bitches, one big and one small, to death!" Mrs. Shen said as she glanced at the child in Leng Xia's arms, then... Somewhat relieved.
Shen Wanqi got a headache when she mentioned Qi'er. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the child in Leng Xia's arms and immediately looked away, out of sight and out of mind.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have told that lie! He said that this ugly guy was his son. Not only did things not go well, but it also led to the current situation!
His dignified prince's family actually wants to raise a wild child of unknown origin!
Rou'er doesn't know where he has been recently. Only one maid came to him on time to collect money!
Shen Wanqi felt a little angry as he thought about it. What did he take him for?
Come when you call and go when you wave?
Shen Wanqi was stunned for a moment when this thought came out, and he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. What happened to him?
How could he be so angry at Rou'er? How could you come up with such a thing?
Isn't it right for him to use money to take care of Rou'er? It was Rou'er who made suggestions for him, which made the Hou Mansion reach its current glory and allowed him to have his current status.
But as soon as this thought came out, Shen Wanqi's mind immediately flashed to the miserable situation of the Hou Mansion. Not only were everyone in the house suppressed and bullied by Chu Yanxi, they even had to live a tight diet!
He has been targeted by the emperor for several months, and was slapped a few days ago!
After these words, Shen Wanqi's eyes widened again, what the hell happened to him! ?
Rou'er made him rise step by step to his current position, how could he think so!
He should take care of Rou'er and her children for the rest of his life!
It's just... Shen Wanqi glanced at the child and couldn't bear to look away.
This kid is really ugly!
"As the New Year approaches, grandma originally wanted to bring some brocade back to the house and ask her servants to make some new clothes for you and the children, hoping for a good omen. But because of the dowry, there was not a single bit of brocade every day or every month. Yu Yin! I can’t even get the money to make clothes!”
Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth: "I originally wanted to give Qi'er a golden lock, but it didn't work out!
"Yesterday, someone from Yaolinfang came and asked for money. I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and only found five taels of silver! I can only give it to them for use first.
"Fifty taels of silver is enough for what you can do! You don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to keep warm!"
The old lady got more and more angry as she thought about it, and ordered Nanny Zhang beside her: "Go to Madam and ask her. She said that as the New Year is approaching, there are more places to spend money. Can you not pay back the debt for the past few months until spring starts?" Say it again."
Madam Zhang Xindao would definitely not agree, but she still sighed and turned around.
Then he came back after a while.
"Old madam, madam said, no."
Mrs. Shen hit the ground with her crutch angrily: "Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman!"
Shen Wanqi also felt aggrieved. He picked up the tea and took another sip. After a while, he lost some of his anger and said, "Is there anything else in the treasury that can be given away?"
