The prime minister, on the pretext of personal status, was led to the palace by a palace maid and went to the royal room.
After all, since they had already entered the palace, the emperor had no reason to forbid them from going to the toilet.
But before the banquet started, this behavior was not only impolite, but also the way the gifts were presented, the little princess could predict certain things...
The Prime Minister's behavior is bound to cause speculation, and he doesn't want to be the first to be criticized.
What if, without the phoenix, the little princess can still predict the future?
Unfortunately, even if you can hide for a while, you can't hide the whole time.
[Mr. Prime Minister, shouldn't you be sitting in the front and give me the gift first? ]
【Why did he come back from outside? 】
[Oh! So, he went to the toilet! ]
[But, the banquet hasn't started yet, and he hasn't drunk much, so why is he going to the toilet? ]
[Maybe it’s because I’m old? ]
[Ah! That's right, it's really hard to run government affairs at such an old age! ]
Jun Baozhu felt happy talking to the system, but she didn't expect that other ministers would think that they disliked the prime minister's age...
The prime minister remained calm and expressionless. He returned to his seat, took out the gift, and invited his wife to come forward and present the gift together.
[Huh?]
Jun Baozhu's surprised voice quickly attracted the attention of all officials.
[Madam Prime Minister, you are so young! ]
[What? Isn't this the prime minister's wife? The prime minister has two wives, and this one is his co-wife?]
[Where is the legal wife? Didn’t the emperor ask that they all bring their wives with them? ]
[He is so cunning, is he playing word games with his father? ]
[What? His wife usually stays out of the house, and even at palace banquets, she rarely appears in public...]
[Is it so shameful? ]
[Ah? He didn't bring his legal wife out because she is from Nanchi?!]
[And the Prime Minister forged a Dafeng girl's identity for his wife in order to conceal his true identity? ]
[Even his father and mother don't know, isn't he deceiving the emperor? 】
There was an uproar in the hall.
Prime Minister Xu's expression did not change, and he stood there with his wife.
The voice in Jun Baozhu's heart did not stop.
[Does Tai Feng not allow intermarriage? 】
[Oh, so it is possible. But ministers’ wives and concubines are generally not allowed to marry foreign women...]
[Indeed, if these women turn a deaf ear to them, how can they enforce the government's orders?]
[However, he wanted to pursue a career in government and knew the laws of Taiho, so why did he do this? ]
[Is it love? He likes his wife so much that he wants to marry her?! ]
[What? Usually, the Prime Minister's wife lives alone in the courtyard and doesn't have much communication with the Prime Minister? ]
[This is a bit strange!]
[Why take such a big risk to marry her? If the relationship is not going well, why not get rid of her immediately? Why keep her in the courtyard as a worshipper? ]
[If someone else finds out, wouldn't that mean they'll be handing over the evidence? ]
[A prime minister, is this all he has? ]
Jun Baozhu couldn't figure it out, but the ministers were not stupid.
With a little thought, you can figure out the connection.
Jun Baozhu, on the other hand, gradually understood through systematic analysis.
[What? It is very likely that Prime Minister Xu and the Southern Red Kingdom are colluding? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense? ]
[Also, Prime Minister Xu married his first wife before he was appointed Prime Minister. He must have known the risks...]
[So, it is very likely that his ascension to the throne was also due to the influence of the Nanchi people, through this legitimate wife? ]
[What? When Prime Minister Xu ascended to the throne, did he have the support of the Queen Mother? ]
The ministers shrank their necks and dared not look up at all.
The emperor said nothing, but with a smile on his face, he motioned Prime Minister Xu to return to his seat first.
But when the Prime Minister's wife returned to her seat, the table and chairs behind her were moved and several more guards appeared.
