Kunning Palace guest rooms.
Nangong Yunxue and her daughter had just washed up and were ready to go to bed when a young eunuch beside Emperor Dongling came to deliver a message.
"Madam Xue, Princess Dingguo, the Emperor said he would take the princess to court tomorrow morning."
Nangong Yunxue was a little surprised: "Is there something going on at the morning court tomorrow?"
The young eunuch smiled and nodded: "The emperor said that he needs the princess's help with something."
"Okay, we got it."
After the young eunuch left, Nangong Yunxue carried Nangong Jiu to bed: "Go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow morning."
【Mother, you should take a rest too.】
After saying that, he fell asleep, and after a while, the sound of shallow breathing could be heard.
Nangong Yunxue shook her head and laughed: "You are still a baby after all. It's really hard for you to hold on until now."
Nangong Jiu slept exceptionally soundly that night. He was not fully awake until Nangong Yunxue dug him out of bed and washed and dressed him.
I opened my eyes when I smelled the fragrance of breakfast.
On the way to the court, I leaned on Eunuch Wei's shoulder and guessed all the way.
Seeing the Dongling Emperor, Nangong Jiu finally couldn't help but ask: [Grandfather, are you going to catch the bad guys? ]
“They’re not necessarily bad people.
Several ministers have been acting strangely in recent days, and the Emperor wants you to help investigate and see if they've done anything wrong."
【How is it weird? 】
"It's just that the old ministers who usually talk the most and are always complaining about everything have suddenly become quiet."
[Okay, wait a minute, let me see what they are up to.]
"Okay, okay, Jiuer, look carefully, and also the other ministers, to see if there is any corruption."
[Hehe... This is what I'm best at.] Nangong Jiu rubbed his hands together.
Xiaoxing shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Judging from your Majesty’s expression, someone is probably going to be in trouble.
Emperor Dongling carried Nangong Jiu into the hall through the side door.
All the court officials knelt down and saluted.
Eunuch Wei quietly stuffed some snacks into the small pocket on her chest. While eating, Nangong Jiu casually glanced at the ministers standing below.
When he saw Nangong Honglie and his son and General Chu and his son, he smiled.
Then he studied the food in his hand harmlessly.
This is delicious. I have never eaten it before. It must be a new dish made by the royal chef.
The ministers began to speak their minds.
Cabinet member Jiang Yunjing quietly rubbed his still aching thighs and waist.
You damn bitch, you hit me so hard without any mercy. It hurt me to death. You just got drunk and hugged the wrong person. Do you have to beat me to death?
Censor Zhang Wenxian, with his hands on his fat waist, snorted: "Is it easy for me? I'm just a little fatter and a little older, but you don't let me touch you and even call me a fat bastard."
Humph, I’ll touch it!
Ouch, my waist is almost broken.
Qiu Zexing of the Hanlin Academy had a face as dark as water.
I increasingly feel that my son and grandson look nothing like me.
I asked a doctor to check, and it turned out that I was infertile.
Last night, my concubine actually said that she was pregnant. Damn, I wonder whose child it is?
Nangong Jiu, fiddling with his food, listened carefully to what the ministers said and what they were thinking.
Just an incense stick's time had passed since the morning court session began when Nangong Jiu couldn't help laughing and buried her head in Emperor Dongling's arms.
[Hahaha… I’m dying of laughter! There are so many big melons today, so crunchy and sweet!]
No wonder those old guys haven't said anything these past few days. They're almost losing their temper over their own dirty laundry and are trying to cover it up carefully, fearing others will find out.
[The skinny one, after getting drunk, mistook his daughter-in-law for his wife and hugged her, but ended up getting beaten up by his wife.
Oh, that lady has a knack for beating people up, hitting them in places where they can't be seen by others.]
“Cough cough cough…”
Emperor Dongling was choked and coughed continuously, and quickly covered his mouth.
[That short, fat man, who didn't feel at all that he was old and fat, was disliked by his wife and tried to force himself on her. As a result, his wife threw him over her shoulder, spraining his back.]
Emperor Dongling couldn't help but shudder when he imagined the scene of a man who was so fat that his flesh shook every time he took a step being thrown over the shoulder.
[That arrogant old fellow is the worst off. He is infertile, and none of his descendants are his...]
Emperor Dongling raised his head and glanced at Lord Qiu, who was usually eloquent and had a powerful tongue, and almost laughed out loud.
Nangong Jiu was extremely happy when he heard his grandfather's thoughts.
The older one was laughing secretly, and the younger one was also smiling with pursed lips.
Nangong Yunsheng looked at the two people sitting above curiously, and always felt that there was something strange about them.
The little guy winked at him playfully.
Sudden.
A shrill laugh entered Nangong Jiu's ears.
Haha... It's like a starving ghost reincarnated. An abandoned child is an abandoned child. A pheasant can never turn into a phoenix.
If it weren't for the protection of the gods, I don't know where I would be hiding, begging for mercy.
Alas, the name "Dingguo" has been ruined.
Nangong Jiu glanced over and saw that person still looking at him and his royal grandfather with a smile on his face.
If I hadn't heard his inner voice with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that someone would say that about me.
Humph, you love to complain, don't you? I'll let you complain to your heart's content.
Emperor Dongling also glanced at the man.
Hong Tianfu, the Minister of War, you are such a fool, how dare you say that to Jiuer!
Jiuer, take care of him!
The little finger pointed almost invisible.
Hong Tianfu suddenly pointed at Jiang Yunjing standing beside him and said, "Master Jiang, I heard that you hugged your daughter-in-law and were severely beaten by your wife. How are you now?"
After he said this, he was stunned for a moment and then pointed at Zhang Wenxian.
"Master Zhang, I heard that you're not good in that area, and your wife dislikes you. You asked for sex but were rejected and thrown to the ground.
And Mr. Qiu, I heard that your children and grandchildren..."
Jiang Yunjing and others who were named were furious.
"Hong Tianfu, shut up! Are you crazy? You're biting people here so early in the morning."
Not only did Hong Tianfu not stop talking, he became more and more excited.
"You guys should stop hiding it. How can you think it's a secret when everyone knows it?"
After Hong Tianfu finished speaking, he shook his head and came to his senses.
After realizing what he had said, he slapped his mouth hard and said, "My lords, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened just now."
Jiang Yunjing pointed at his nose and scolded: "How dare you expose my shortcomings? Do you think you are clean and without any stain?
Not long ago, you stole your cousin's daughter-in-law, and your wife found out. You almost hanged yourself."
Zhang Wenxian also glared at him angrily.
"Your younger sister is pregnant. Do you think it's your child? I tell you, it's your brother's."
Qiu Zexing added: "Your brother also told everyone that you picked up something he was tired of playing with and treated it as a treasure."
"Ha ha……"
There was suppressed laughter.
The ministers looked at each other, excitedly watching the four people fighting each other.
Emperor Dongling did not stop him and ate the melon in a rare quiet manner.
Jiang Yunjing and the other two had almost finished fighting, and now they were furious and turned their spearheads against the ministers...
