Yun Qing was taken aback and withdrew her hand: "How pathetic! How can you compare yourself to two birds?"
How childish! He tells me not to treat him like a child, but he clearly is.
No matter how precious the gyrfalcon is, her concept of it is different from Xie Rang's. She doesn't know why Xie Rang thought of comparing it to them.
Xie Rang raised an eyebrow calmly: "What I said is the truth."
The falconer beside him lowered his head even further, wishing he could shut down his six senses, he simply couldn't bear to listen.
Why should he know such palace secrets?!
Yun Qing said helplessly, "Fine."
At first, she thought this person was going to restrain himself, but now it seems he was just putting on an act. There was no sign of him restraining himself at all. If this continues, the falconer will definitely think he's going to die.
Besides, she couldn't say that the emperor was inferior to two birds; it would be unreasonable to refuse.
These two gyrfalcons look rather pitiful. I'll have Qingque take them out for a walk later.
It's unclear how he was trained, but Qingque's secret guards are incredibly versatile. Sometimes Yun Qing feels that simply calling him a secret guard is beneath him, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to think so. He's quite comfortable being Yun Qing's all-around butler.
The matter of watching the gyrfalcon has temporarily come to an end. Out of consideration for the falconer's fragile heart, Yun Qing took the initiative to suggest leaving.
The news of her minor altercation with Lü Le had reached Xie Rang's ears even before she arrived, but Xie Rang only brought it up on the way back.
"They dare to be so presumptuous even in the palace. Do they really think I'll stand by and watch them disrespect the Grand Tutor?"
In fact, conflicts between envoys and officials are common, but people usually avoid making them public to save face. However, they wanted to sabotage Yun Qing, so it's no wonder Xie Rang couldn't tolerate such behavior.
Yun Qing's eyelids twitched: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Rangping said calmly, "It's just to teach them a lesson. Don't worry, Grand Tutor, I won't let them find any fault with me."
The entire imperial city is now under Xie Rang's control. If he wants to do something undercover, they will find no clue whatsoever.
[I almost forgot that this is still a ruthless wolf cub.]
Yun Qingyi said, "It's good that Your Majesty knows what's going on."
Yun Qing naturally wouldn't have a good attitude towards a future enemy, especially since the act of sowing discord was already hitting her sore spot. It would be unreasonable not to teach him a lesson.
If the person they're dealing with today were in a different situation, it would be hard not to feel resentment.
The matter was now out in the open, and Yun Qing had no objections. Xie Rang didn't deliberately avoid talking to her when giving instructions, only realizing after he finished speaking that Yun Qing's expression was a little subtle.
"Where did Your Majesty learn these insidious methods?"
Is it something an emperor should learn to drug them to make them impotent?
Yun Qing's eyes were opened to a whole new world.
Did I teach these things?
Seeing Yun Qing's increasingly dangerous expression, Xie Rang froze, suddenly realizing that he might have been a little too smug. He quickly confessed, "I saw it in a storybook."
After talking it out with Yunqing, the matter of the storybook could no longer be kept secret. Later, Yunqing even went to the Imperial Study to search it out himself, making sure there was nothing in it that could harm His Majesty's physical and mental health before he was at ease.
"Alright, I'll trust His Majesty this time."
Yun Qing's expression was ambiguous, making it difficult to discern whether she was angry or not.
I'd like to see what good stuff Master Tan has actually written.
The ancients may have been conservative in their thinking, but they were quite open-minded in their storytelling. The fact that some erotic stories have survived to this day speaks volumes. So what about the ones that haven't been preserved?
Yunqing didn't care about Tan Zaiheng's little hobbies; what she was more concerned about was that Xie Rang really dared to learn anything!
Xie Rang felt slightly annoyed. It seemed he should have kept it a secret after all, but there was no turning back now. He didn't want his credibility in Yun Qing's eyes to drop even lower, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
Yun Qing didn't rush to leave the palace. Instead, she went to the Southern Study with Xie Rang. Everyone had been quite busy these past two days, and there were still some things that needed to be brought to the Emperor's attention.
Upon seeing Yun Qing arrive, the ministers were not surprised and greeted her, saying, "Lord Li."
Yun Qing agreed to all of their requests and then sat down in the seat below Xie Rang, listening to their reports.
The first to speak was the Minister of Works. Thanks to the attention of the Emperor and the Imperial Tutor, the Ministry of Works had been developing better and better in recent years. Although it was still lagging behind the other five ministries, it was a great achievement.
"A letter from the Governor-General of Jiangnan reports that the canal banks and dikes have now been repaired, and the people on both sides are deeply grateful for His Majesty's benevolence and hold His Majesty in high esteem..."
The Minister of Works felt he had more and more to say as he spoke, and in the end he even felt he hadn't said enough.
The current emperor is wise in recognizing and employing people based on merit, and is quite enlightened. This is a great thing for both officials and the people. After experiencing the incompetent rule of the previous emperor, they do not want to see such a situation again.
"good."
Xie Rang thought to himself, it wasn't for nothing that he and the Grand Tutor had personally gone to do this. If this matter still couldn't be resolved, he would have to doubt the abilities of his subordinates.
"As for the transfer of official positions, I will leave it to Minister Fan. He must perform well in both promotions and demotions and not disappoint me."
Using both kindness and severity has always been an emperor's way of controlling people. It was precisely because of this that Xie Rang was able to firmly grasp power in his own hands, and the court officials would not harbor any disloyal thoughts.
Fan Chengxiang quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After finishing their business, it was already noon. Xie Rang invited the six ministers to stay for lunch. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable, but Yun Qing was used to it and ate very well.
