On the way here, Concubine Xiao kept recalling Gu Lan's words and deeds in Xiang Pavilion.
At a certain moment, she suddenly remembered!
In the storybook "Red Mansions" written by Gu Lan, the "Introduction" in the first chapter is obviously a very touching piano piece!
She was still amazed at that time...but after seeing Gu Lan's indifference, she forgot about this detail!
Think again about the love poems written to His Majesty.
What kind of love poem can I write a full 300 times?
It was clearly an excuse not to show it to her!
The more Concubine Xiao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. At this moment, she came to Mu Yuyan and quickly complained.
Liu Yexi was shocked when she heard her words, and quickly looked at her to signal her not to talk nonsense!
You can just secretly enjoy yourself being bullied by the young master...and you deliberately told His Majesty, what do you think?
However.
Mu Yuyan obviously trusted Gu Lan. She put down the memorial in her hand, gently scratched the tip of Xiao Feier's nose with her index finger, and said with a faint smile: "Let me tell you how he bullied you."
Xiao Feier finished everything in detail.
Liu Yexi breathed a sigh of relief and silently rolled her eyes at Concubine Xiao!
The young master only has His Majesty in his heart. Isn't this normal?
Moreover, the young master has even eaten His Majesty’s food many times. How could he be greedy for you?
cut! No self-knowledge!
At this time.
After listening to this, Mu Yuyan slowly took her hands out of her arms and the mountains, and made a calm conclusion: "My evaluation is that Gu Lang is good at bullying."
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips and said pretentiously: "Your Majesty, you have changed. In the past, you used to treat me as your concubine..."
Mu Yuyan rolled her eyes coquettishly.
moment.
Concubine Xiao finally couldn't hold herself any longer, she immediately smiled and hugged the empress!
actually.
Concubine Xiao knew that she was being unreasonable and was being "unreasonable", but she was just looking for an excuse to act coquettishly and come over to get close to the empress!
By the way, I would like to use this matter to tactfully inform the empress about Gu Lan's condition and whereabouts tonight.
And, he is very virtuous!
Even Liu Yexi couldn't hear the overtone...
Seeing her look like this, Mu Yuyan understood, of course, and when she heard what Gu Lan did, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart!
Then he said to her in a friendly manner: "If you want to read Gu Lang's poems, I will go and ask for some some time to open your eyes."
Talk about it.
Mu Yuyan learned her coquettish skills from Concubine Xiao.
However, with the constraints of her status as empress, she was still not as good at acting like a spoiled child as Concubine Xiao.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Xiao said in surprise.
Although the grievance and grievance he felt just now was feigned, his desire to meet Gu Lan's talent was genuine.
Being able to read poems and essays that His Majesty praised was also a joy in her boring career as an oiran.
"But it will have to wait half a month... Tonight you will first help me approve the memorial."
Mu Yuyan glanced at the countless memorials and gently pinched her brows with her jade fingers.
"Okay! Just like before, Sister Xi will read it, Your Majesty will make the decision, and I will be the one to approve it!" Xiao Feier raised her little hand and smiled.
Just like before in the East Palace, the tasks were quickly divided.
At some point!
Xiao Feier finished reading a secret message from the Xuantiansi secret guards, which was about a suspected black market workshop on a residential street near Dongzhimen.
Mu Yuyan's phoenix eyes flashed, and she paid special attention to the location here, and ordered: "Wait a minute, read this verse again."
Concubine Xiao was a little confused.
"The house that the young master is moving to is located on this street near Dongzhimen." Liu Yexi explained.
"oh oh!"
Concubine Xiao nodded and repeated it word for word.
Roughly speaking, it is about a black market workshop that seems to have some power behind it. I don't know what it is doing inside, but it is very mysterious and is suspected by the secret guards of Xuantiansi.
"Black market workshops, this is not unusual in the capital."
Mu Yuyan said thoughtfully.
There are aristocratic families all over the capital, and every family has some shady business. As long as it is not too excessive, the court will turn a blind eye.
"However, this store cannot be opened in Dongzhimen. Even if it is an ordinary transaction, there is no risk of affecting the Gu family."
Mu Yuyan's eyes flashed and she decided: "I will go to court tomorrow and deal with this matter first. Let's pick out this piece of information."
"good!"
...
The night is deep and the stars and moon are gradually moving away.
Three hours have passed!
The candlelight unknowingly reached its end.
Liu Yexi opened her eyes hazy, and dragged her tired steps to find a new wax plug. When she looked back, she saw that Xiao Feier had already fallen asleep in the corner of the dragon case.
Only Mu Yuyan was still watching with bright eyes, and she quietly took the pen held by Concubine Xiao, thinking about it while criticizing her paintings.
"Your Majesty, let me write it for you."
"No, you take the concubine down and take a rest together."
Mu Yuyan said: "You are relatively weak in cultivation, and you don't have as much energy as I do... We have to wait until tomorrow morning to go to court, so we can deal with the rest tomorrow night."
"All right..."
Liu Yexi couldn't hold on any longer, but fortunately she was practicing martial arts, not the weak Qin Dao like Xiao Feier.
He nodded, picked her up and went to sleep on the couch next to her.
...
The next day, early morning.
Enter the Jinluan Palace!
A group of low-ranking officials in blue robes came in one after another, holding tooth tags and yawning. Below the palace steps were the officials in red robes who had already arrived.
The empress did not go to court for more than a year.
The prime minister, Sima Qinlai, was in charge of the overall situation.
They have long been distracted.
At this time.
A figure behind Sima Qin glanced behind him, looked at the ministers who walked in slowly with contempt, and scolded:
"My lords, this is an early morning court! You are so careless and disrespectful of etiquette. Where do you put the court hall and where do you put your majesty?"
The ministers glanced at him and saw that he was a seventh-grade censor, so they didn't pay much attention to him. They just stood in their seats with the dental plaque.
Every day in the court usually starts with the rants from these censors, and everyone is used to it!
Any reason can be used, today is the most commonly used opening statement this year... Where does it leave His Majesty to be so casual?
The empress is not here anyway!
They don't even have the desire to argue (spray back).
But at this moment.
Wu Fan on the side looked back and realized that the person who had just spoken was Sima Qin's disciple.
He pondered for a moment and said quietly:
"Liu Yushi, have you been feeling unhappy recently? Why did you vent your temper on the princes?"
The words echoed in the golden palace.
The ministers were slightly surprised.
Wu Fan is a general from the second rank, which is equivalent to the position of prime minister in the military position. Shouldn't he refute the opening remarks of a seventh-rank junior official?
Liu Yushi obviously didn't expect it either. He shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything.
Sima Qin observed Wu Fan for a moment without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "General Wu is wrong in what he said. The courtiers have behaved inappropriately, and the common people can complain about it, let alone us, the emperor's close ministers?"
Wu Fan looked at him and said with a rough smile: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty is not in the court, so aren't you still the one who has the final say on these rules?"
As soon as these words came out.
The ministers suddenly woke up!
They all looked at the bosses of the civil and military factions with lowered eyebrows.
I wonder if General Wuwei is a bit angry today. How come he has tolerated it for so long before and suddenly got into trouble with the Prime Minister today?
Even for such a serious crime as trespassing? !
Sima Qin realized something was wrong with Wu Fan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly turned to him.
"Your Majesty is not here, and I can't make these rules... It's just that today it seems that General Wu has a better proposal?"
"hehe!"
The corners of Wu Fan's lips curled up, just waiting for Sima Qin's words!
I didn’t want him to be in charge of the government and the public all by himself, so that all the princes turned a blind eye to the empress’ stupidity and indulged her again and again!
Today, he, Wu Fan, will change the sun and the moon in this court and no longer let the Xiangguo Party do whatever they want!
Wu Fan came to the center of the Golden Palace and just said: "I do have a proposal..."
But now!
But I heard a cold and majestic voice from behind!
"General Wu, if you have any suggestions, why don't you tell me directly?"
