The emperor narrowed his eyes at him and said, "One cent! All right, give it to him, Eunuch Liu!"
Ximen Huanggua was shocked, "It's not one penny, it's one hundred taels, one hundred taels!"
The emperor seemed not to hear his words and insisted that Eunuch Liu give him the money.
Eunuch Liu came up to Ximen Huanggua angrily and glared at him.
You old fool, you actually dare to blackmail my man. I think you don’t want your tongue anymore.
Eunuch Liu reached into his pocket, pulled out the small knife used for cutting tongues, and waved it in front of Ximen Huanggua.
Ximen Huanggua was a little panicked. Ah, this is not possible. This is not possible!
He must have been very bold today, as he suddenly thought of blackmailing the emperor.
Ximen Huanggua was a little scared, but he still wanted to save face, "Eunuch Liu, where's the money? Give me the money!"
Never mind, a penny is still money. He comforted himself to be content with what he has and to be a wise man who knows the current affairs.
As for the hungry sons at home, let them go hungry for now.
Anyway, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He has fulfilled his greatest obligation by giving birth to them.
Eunuch Liu searched in his pocket for a long time but found nothing.
The situation suddenly changed, and this time it was Eunuch Liu's turn to be embarrassed.
It’s bad. He can’t even take out a penny. Isn’t this a disgrace to the emperor?
The emperor will definitely be extremely disappointed in him and will definitely not use him again.
Eunuch Liu fell into deep self-doubt and internal friction, and he PUA'd himself in his heart.
Ximen Huanggua stretched out his hand, but it was not easy for him to withdraw it suddenly, so the two of them remained in a stalemate.
Qin Yulang on the side pushed Ximen Huanggua and pointed at the big knife at his waist.
It was as if saying, Lao Deng, have you seen my big knife? If you dare to blackmail the emperor, I will kill you!
Xiang Hua yawned loudly, walked up to the three of them, and put a melon seed kernel in Ximen Huanggua's hand.
"Eat it, it's for you!"
Ah, this...
Ximen Huanggua took it helplessly and put it into his mouth. He thought of this as a reward from the emperor.
This is good, so everyone can come to the rescue.
Eunuch Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiang Hua came to his rescue. He looked at her with gratitude.
Qin Yulang nodded with satisfaction and withdrew.
The emperor was also very happy when he saw this scene. As expected, everyone loved him.
Eunuch Liu loves him, Qin Yulang loves him, and Xiang Hua also loves him.
They were all willing to stand up and help him deal with the ignorant Ximen Huanggua.
Ximen Huanggua looked miserable when he ate the melon seeds.
The melon seed that Xiang Hua gave him was taken out of the pocket of her court robe and was already rotten.
It was so bitter that it was excruciating, he sighed as he ate.
These melon seeds are so bitter, just like his life!
He stiffened his neck and swallowed the bitter melon seeds, and it took him a long time to speak.
"Actually, giving birth to a son requires the right time, right place, and right people."
Ximen Huanggua’s class started, and everyone took out their notebooks and began to take notes seriously.
"As for the right time, on the 15th of every month, you should start... uh, sowing seeds. You know what I mean, right?"
Ximen Huanggua asked and talked at the same time, but the civil and military officials just took notes and no one paid any attention to him.
Xiang Hua plugged her head with both hands. It was none of her business, but she couldn't help wanting to watch the fun. She wanted to see how long this farce would last.
"Those who understand, give me a 1." She stood up to liven up the classroom atmosphere on behalf of Ximen Huanggua.
Deduct 1? How to deduct? Where to deduct?
All the civil and military officials in the court were puzzled, wondering why Lord Xiang could speak so much Martian language every day.
They didn't understand a word I said.
The emperor didn't understand either, but he pretended to understand.
He was taking notes just now, and now he took out the notebook and drew a big 1 on it.
"Master Xiao Xiang, I'm going to deduct 1. Look at the big 1. Is this how it's deducted?"
The emperor felt that Xiaobenben was like the student in class who stood out and always liked to answer questions.
Xiang Hua nodded helplessly, "Yeah, that's it."
You are the emperor, whatever you say is the truth. Who would argue with you when they have nothing to do?
Seeing this, all the civil and military officials followed suit. At one time, everyone held up their little notebooks with a big 1 on them.
Ximen Huanggua was confused for a while. What was going on?
He hasn't attended court for more than a year. Is this a new ritual that has become popular recently?
In order not to appear out of place, he took out a notebook, solemnly drew a big 1 on it, and handed it to Xiang Hua.
He was just like a poor student who finally got the question right, feeling proud and waiting for the teacher's praise.
Xiang Hua nodded perfunctorily, feeling so annoyed. What kind of deduction was this?
"Master Ximen, please continue."
Go on, I'm waiting to see what happens.
Although she was not an expert, she was sure that Ximen Huanggua was talking nonsense.
Whether a baby is a boy or a girl is just a matter of probability. If it is elevated to the level of metaphysics, it would be outrageous!
The whole court is a bunch of fools, and the emperor is a big fool. The big fool leads the little fools and is taking notes seriously.
"We just talked about the right time, now let's talk about the right location. The right location means finding a good bed, a solid one, ahem, you all know it."
As soon as Ximen Huanggua finished speaking, everyone raised their little notebooks with a big 1 written on them.
This time, Ximen Huanggua didn't need to ask, and Xiang Hua didn't need to remind them, they consciously deducted 1.
There is a sense of helplessness and sadness that contemporary workers feel.
The workers sit in front of the computer and reply 1, which means "received". They hold small notebooks in the Throne Room.
Different times, same sadness.
Simon Huanggua was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and he touched his bald head.
"Also, besides the bed, you have to choose the right direction. The southeast direction has strong yang energy, which is most conducive to having a son. If you understand, give me a 1."
Ximen Huanggua also learned Xiang Hua's tricks. Seeing all the civil and military officials raising their notebooks again, he nodded with satisfaction.
He felt a great sense of accomplishment. Although he did not extort money from the emperor today, he gained everyone's trust.
Looking at the obedient crowd, he suddenly understood what it felt like to be an emperor.
All I see every day is a bunch of obedient people. Who wouldn’t want to be the emperor?
Ximen Huanggua, who was just on the edge of power and had just teetered on the edge, suddenly got carried away.
He selfishly wanted to prolong his moment of glory a little longer.
"Next, let's talk about harmony among people. Harmony among people means that two people should be in sync, think in the same direction, and work together. Only in this way can the great harmony of life be perfectly achieved."
Ximen Huanggua’s words made perfect sense, and all the civil and military officials and the emperor should take good notes.
Everyone was afraid that they had missed a word, so after taking notes they exchanged their notes with each other to make sure everything was correct.
In the busy court, the mocking voice of the system suddenly rang out.
[Hahahaha, this is hilarious. They believe whatever Ximen Huanggua says.]
Xiang Hua suddenly became alert: [What's going on? I smell a melon! ]
