Chapter 21 I Really Didn't Want Her to Die
twenty one
【What? Tell me more! 】
System: [Let me see. When she was a concubine, she was envied because she was too beautiful, so her name card was dropped early. However, she did not give up. She secretly used her brother's reputation to threaten the steward who sent the name cards. The steward compromised, and Rongpin finally succeeded in sneaking into the successful selection team. Then she was favored.]
The emperor's face darkened slightly. He knew that all the offenders must be found, dismissed and investigated.
Shao Zhanshi:!!!
Ahhh! I am going to be tricked to death by this sister.
The other court officials almost laughed to death. Eating other people's melons is so delicious, the more outrageous, the better. Very good, they don't need to put in any effort. Rongpin's plan to take care of the young imperial teacher is probably doomed.
The emperor's face darkened slightly. He knew that all the offenders must be found, dismissed and investigated.
[Wow, Rongpin is so mobile and has never been discovered. She is amazing. Wait, this palace doesn't seem to be that safe.]
emperor:……
I just felt the sound of my face being slapped.
He looked coldly at the Junior Secretary, whose face was ashen and he looked like he was about to be buried.
[Ahahahaha, there's more. The more you dig into Rongpin, the more you find out! This is even more amazing. It's about her younger brother.]
Shao Zhanshi: ???
Rongpin has a younger brother? How come he doesn't know?
emperor:!!!
It turned out to be about Rongdi!
He doesn't like people with overly erratic personalities. The reason why he tolerates Rongpin is, to a certain extent, because of the man who claims to be Rongpin's brother but has been missing for a long time.
Is the mystery finally solved?
【Is there any gossip?! Tell me quickly.】
[As for her brother, haha, let me shock you first, her brother is not a man. ]
The emperor was shocked, how could it be possible!
The court officials immediately pricked up their ears.
[Ah? Is she the same as Xiao Yueyue, a woman disguised as a man?]
[Haha, yes and no. Didn't I say before that Rongpin wanted to know the emperor's preferences so she asked around. But she didn't dare to use her own appearance to find out, so she painted herself into an androgynous makeup, raised her insoles, changed into men's clothes, and became a real beautiful boy. ]
emperor:!!!
What? The person who claimed to be Rongpin's brother turned out to be Rongpin herself? !
The court officials looked at the young minister with indescribable eyes: How did your family raise your daughter?! This is too lawless.
The Grand Master couldn't help but walk over and say, "I just don't want your sister to raise the little imperial tutor, I don't want her to die."
Shao Zhanshi: "Get lost."
Yuan Ruan: [What? But how can a brother without any foundation and a sister who is not favored be able to find out the emperor's news in the palace? Are the people in the Great Xia Palace so unguarded? ]
A trace of embarrassment appeared on the emperor's face.
The court officials could not help but be curious. Yes, His Majesty is not a person of good temper. Once, a court lady who had just entered the palace sneaked into the palace to meet the Emperor when he was leaving court. She was almost thrown into the laundry department to be a maid for the rest of her life. Fortunately, her father still had some face to save her and she was able to redeem herself.
There are more than one or two women who have been severely punished in this way. With these real examples in mind, who would dare to risk His Majesty's taboos and reveal His Majesty's preferences to a strange young man?
System: [Haha. So Rongpin went directly to the emperor himself to inquire about the news.]
emperor:……
The court officials' bodies tilted, and suddenly, in front of them there seemed to be a wave of corn stalks hit by a strong wind.
The Shao Zhanshi finally sat down on the ground with a plop.
Yuanruan's eyes widened:
[What! She, she went directly to the emperor to ask? So brave?]
System: [Yes. Rongpin looks weak, but she is actually extremely strong. So even though she looks a little feminine when she pretends to be a young man, once she lifts a 200-jin iron hammer with both hands, no one will doubt that she is a girl.]
Yuan Ruan was surprised and said, "A 200-jin iron hammer?! Sister is really like Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow tree. No wonder no one noticed. I like it."
System: [Yes, she is the perfect interpretation of this sentence. She was also quite lucky when she went to see the emperor. She disguised herself as a teenager and followed the emperor into the winter hunting ground. But the emperor was not easy to approach.
This concubine Rong saw that the emperor was going to hunt wild boars, and then she took the opportunity when a wild boar rushed out, first with an iron hammer to swing away the long arrow shot by the emperor, and then with the iron hammer to smash the wild boar to death, and finally ran to the emperor and shamelessly said that she had successfully rescued the wild boar, thus getting the opportunity to get to know the emperor. 】
emperor:……
He suddenly recalled the strongman in the wild boar farm. He never expected that the young man with bright eyes and a determined mind was actually played by Rongpin.
He had once affirmed the other party's ambition and taught him to focus on his goal and work hard. But now, when he thought that the other party was aiming at him and his throne, the emperor couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Yuan Ruan laughed in his heart:
[Too, too talented! And now, father, you acknowledge me as your savior? ]
【No! The book records that the emperor saw through Rongpin's trick to save his brother, and after a few words, the emperor guessed that she was trying to find out his preferences for her sister. The emperor liked strong men who valued loyalty and righteousness, so he took the initiative to reveal his information to make friends with her, and even though he didn't like Rongpin very much, he promoted her all the way to the position of concubine.】
[Hahaha, I didn't expect that my brother, who loves talents so much, would sacrifice himself for his sister just because he values a warrior. ]
emperor:!!!
What a sacrifice!
What kind of lewd words are these!
Especially when he noticed the fleeting expressions of the courtiers below who were trying to suppress their laughter, he was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to turn around and spank the little princess.
Yuanruan couldn't help but want to watch the show:
[What happened next? How did your brother and him progress? When did you discover the true identity of Rongpin's brother?]
System: [No. If he really found out, given the tyrant's temper, he would have punished him with a crime of deceiving the emperor and had him beheaded. Rongpin was also worried about being exposed, especially after she found that she couldn't get anything new out of the emperor, she directly asked her brother to flee. When the emperor came, he insisted that he didn't know his exact location and just said that he was traveling around the world.]
Yuan's soft little head tilted with laughter:
[Huh? Brother, you're just going to throw it away after being used? You're being scumbag. Do you believe that?]
[I don't believe it. The book also says that no matter how hard the emperor tried to find out, he only found out that his brother had entered Rongpin's palace and disappeared. The emperor also found out that the deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue had no son. But because Rongpin looked very similar to his brother in disguise, the emperor did not suspect that he was a wild man. He only guessed that his brother was the son of a concubine that Rongpin was unwilling to accept, and was killed by Rongpin and someone else. The emperor also had opinions about Rongpin because of this and no longer promoted Rongpin to the position of concubine. ]
Courtiers: ...
For the first time, I felt helpless as a minister. I had to hold back my laughter! I just couldn't hold it back!
[Hiss, hahahaha… this, this boomerang stabbed me. ]
Yuan Ruan, lying in the emperor's arms, let out a clear giggle, completely unaware of the emperor's face above him, which was so dark that it looked like it could drip with water.
…
The court officials standing in the front yard felt that they had a sure victory.
An ambitious concubine who is full of tricks is absolutely not suitable to be the concubine who educates the young imperial tutor. Not to mention educating him, she is not even suitable to be by his side.
The court officials began to recommend their own girls one after another, and in order to appear fair, they would occasionally recommend each other's concubines.
All of a sudden, the area in front of the clan house became extremely lively.
The emperor lowered his brows in thought.
The Junior Chancellor is also very sad and only prays that Your Majesty can spare the lives of my entire family.
