Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 289: Entering the Palace (5)
Yue Qing looked at everyone and then at Emperor Li: "Uncle Emperor, what are they laughing at? Are they laughing at me?"
Li Huang said: "It seems that Yu Qing is very lovable. Most of my ministers think you are innocent and cute. Well, I have been wasted for a lot of time here. The Queen Mother and the Empress also want to see you. I will delay it any longer. , the Queen Mother should stop nagging her. Manager An, take Yu Qing to see the Queen Mother and the others."
Manager An nodded quickly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take the princess over right now."
Yue Qing said: "But, Uncle Emperor, I still have a lot to say. Just listening to what you said here, I have a lot of opinions that I didn't even bother to mention."
Li Huang said: "Let's wait until we meet the Queen Mother. I am amnestying you. You can enter the palace at any time. You can come to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Just ask someone to send a letter to Manager An or give it to my three useless sons. ."
"oh."
Seeing this, Manager An quickly said: "Oh, Princess, there will be a long time to come from now on. Come with me quickly."
Yue Qing stood up and everyone in the villa looked over.
Mo Xue said: "Your Majesty Li Emperor, Miss Li has never been separated from others. She always needs someone to take care of her. If Miss wants to enter the harem, she must be followed by someone from the villa. I hope Emperor Li can allow Commander Jiao to communicate with Chang Yu Xiao and the young lady’s maid are accompanying us.”
Qin Xiang said: "Why, Mr. Mo is worried, is it possible that someone in this palace wants to harm the princess? The harem is where all the ladies live, how can it be convenient for men to enter."
Mo Xue said: "This is the rule of the villa. I hope Emperor Li will understand."
Another person stood up from the civil servant's side and said: "Your Majesty, the Villa has the regulations of the Villa, and the Country of Li also has the regulations of the Country of Li. I believe that everyone in the Villa should follow the rules of the Country of Li now that they are in the Country of Li."
There was a burst of agreement in the palace.
Emperor Li didn't speak. He leaned on the dragon chair and didn't know what he was thinking.
After seeing that all the ministers had finished their discussion, he said, "Do all the dear ministers think so?"
The ministers said: "I second my opinion."
Li Huang glanced at King Bowei and asked, "King Bowei, what do you think?"
When King Bowei noticed him, he stood up and said: "I think what Qin Xiang and Cao Shangshu said are reasonable. The harem is where the queen mother, empress and concubines live, and it is indeed not suitable for men to enter. Mr. Yuxiao is okay, After all, he is the elder brother of the princess, but Commander Jiao cannot."
That Cao Shangshu said: "King Bowei, although Chang Yuxiao is the elder brother of Princess Shun'an, he is just a sworn brother in name only. He has not been included in the genealogy of Prince Yongjing's palace. How can he enter? Besides, he himself has As I said, he is from the Villa.
The harem is full of weak women. As for Chang Yuxiao, he is the red guard of the Villa. If anything happens to the emperor's concubines after entering the harem, will you be responsible? "
King Bowei said: "Your Majesty, the problems that Cao Shangshu is worried about can be solved by having the imperial guards accompany him."
"Hmph, the Queen Mother summoned the princess, and she also needed to send out imperial guards to accompany her. If this spreads out, what will happen? What will outsiders think? Where is the national prestige of our country, Li?"
Emperor Li knocked on the dragon chair and looked at them.
King Bowei was about to continue his theory.
The head of the Yue family interrupted him and said, "Okay, gentlemen, please stop arguing."
His voice was not loud, but it silenced the hall.
The head of the Yue family said: "This matter is not that troublesome. We Chang family women never meet foreigners alone. Li country does have Li country's rules, and we don't want to break Li country's rules.
Originally, she didn't plan to enter the palace today. Because the young lady is the daughter of King Yongjing and has the blood of Li people, she was called to the palace. It’s come as it comes, but now because the two parties have different opinions, it’s okay not to enter the harem. In this way, it is not disrespectful and will not break the rules of Li country. Sirs, do you have any other opinions? "
The ministers began to talk about it.
Yue Chi looked at everyone in the palace, and Prime Minister Qin glanced at Cao Shangshu.
Cao Shangshu said: "Master Yue, what you said is not quite right."
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Cao Shangshu said: "The head of the Yue family also knows that Princess Shun'an is from our Li country. There is no reason why she should not be summoned when summoned by the Queen Mother."
Yue Chi smiled and said: "Master Shangshu, not to mention that we are already here, so what if we are not summoned? I don't think the young lady needs to be summoned to the palace. She just has the blood of Li people. In the end, she is also one of us. A member of the Chang family of the Villa. In the history of our Villa, the blood of the Chang family has never flowed out, and they have never paid attention to the etiquette of various countries. I think Lord Shangshu should have some understanding of this."
Qin Xiangdao: "What the head of the Yue family said is not entirely true. The Chang family's blood has never flowed out. How could there be today's Princess Shun'an? Isn't Princess Yongjing also of the Chang family's blood? She took the initiative to marry into our country of Li. Could this be the case? Not an exodus? Mr. Yue’s words are contradictory, huh? Hahaha."
The ministers laughed.
Yue Chi smiled but said nothing.
King Bowei glanced at Yue Qing's face and frowned slightly.
The voice of Princess Shun'an was heard: "Are these adults making fun of my mother?"
Prime Minister Qin and others didn't react, but they just felt that it was a bit abrupt for a woman like her to speak now.
Emperor Li also looked at her.
The fourth prince said: "Sister Yuqing, Prime Minister Qin and others don't mean this."
Yue Qing glanced at him, then turned to San Yu and said, "Brother, do you think I think too much?"
Chang Yuxiao said: "My sister is right. Qin Xiang and others are indeed making fun of my mother."
Yue Qing looked at Prime Minister Qin: "What the Prime Minister means is that my mother took the initiative to go to Li Country to get married, and she violated the rules of the villa. Isn't this the case for the women of our Chang family?"
Qin Xiang said: "The women of Li State never participate in the government affairs. It would be better for the princess to go to the harem to meet the Queen Mother earlier, so that she does not have to worry about the affairs of the previous court."
"Hmph, no wonder my mother became seriously ill after staying in Li Country for several years. It turns out that everyone around her thought of her in this way. I didn't believe it when I first heard about it. Your Majesty, I'm so sorry. I don't want to be treated like someone who looks down on my mother. If we don’t want to stay here and be looked down upon by others, I won’t go see the Queen Mother and Queen.”
Prime Minister Qin was stunned and was about to preach again.
Yue Qing continued: "There is no need to preach, Prime Minister Qin. I am just so ignorant of etiquette. If you can't stand it, just find a way to drive us out of Li Country."
Cao Shangshu said: "The princess's words are a bit treacherous and unethical..."
Li Huang suddenly said: "Enough, has the noise been enough? I already issued an imperial edict yesterday, and I don't want to hear another word about the princess's words and deeds. It's okay to make noises on weekdays. Today's distinguished guests are here, and they don't know. Be more restrained.”
Prime Minister Qin said: "Your Majesty, what we are discussing now is the matter of men entering the harem. This is a big matter, how can it be a trivial matter."
Li Huang said: "In that case, why not let Prime Minister Qin draw up a charter and come up with a way to satisfy the villa without damaging the prestige of Li country, and then let the princess enter the palace?"
Prime Minister Qin said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be handled according to the rules of our country."
Li Huang said: "This is a special matter. I have already made a decision on this matter, so there is no need to discuss it further."
