Chapter 190 Do you think it’s normal to like someone?
[Guagua, does the Queen want to ask me for something? ]
【Why do you say that? 】
[Look, the prince is here to pick us up in person, and he can drive the carriage into the harem. This makes me a little scared. Let's get off the bus! ]
After saying that, Fang Lingchu stopped the carriage and got off.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw her like this, he got out of the car and walked over with her.
[Guagua, I'm so embarrassed. Do you want to find a topic to talk to him about? ]
[They can all be hosts, why are you embarrassed? 】
"Your Highness, how has the issue of arbitrary tax deductions been resolved?"
The prince lowered his head and looked at Fang Lingchu who was walking seriously. There was still a hint of tenderness between his eyebrows, but it was not as strong as before.
"Almost done, but too many people have been arrested, and there is no one to fill the vacant position. I don't know how to deal with it. Does Master Xiao Fang have any suggestions?"
Fang Lingchu's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to slap himself for what he had just done.
What are you talking about?
Isn't it good to walk quietly?
It’s okay now, let’s eat it all.
"The candidates for this exam are all good people. We can consider sending them down to see the people. This way, when they are promoted in the future, they will do more for the people."
"Master Xiao Fang is right, but there are relatively few officials in the capital, so the emperor may not agree."
Fang Lingchu's mouth was running in front, and his brain was chasing behind.
"Then let those princes and your brothers come to help! Otherwise, why would His Majesty support them?"
[Host, you are so brave]
[Shut up.]
Wow, it seems I said something wrong.
"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I..."
Fang Lingchu was so anxious that I came out, but I couldn't explain a single word.
Because that's what she really thinks!
"Nothing. I think Lord Xiao Fang's proposal is very good, but the matter between the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Dingbei makes my father a little... so he may not agree. After all, I don't know who has second thoughts and who doesn't want that position."
"What your highness said is all my fault. I was not thoughtful enough. Please don't blame me."
"Nothing."
…
【Guagua, do you know? 】
[I know! In fact, there are still many useful people in the royal family, smart, and dedicated to the country, but they are not taken seriously. You also know that this is a melodramatic novel world, and normal people are generally excluded. ]
[That's right! Who are they? Tell me, I'll see if I can find one or two to help His Majesty.]
[For example, Prince An had a younger brother who was 20 years younger than him. He was exiled to a cold and bitter place to do hard labor. He had good abilities and even after being sent there, he still insisted on studying.
The Prince of Yanbei has a cousin who is not bad. If he had participated in the imperial examination this time, he should have had a place in the palace examination. It's a pity that he was implicated and is now in prison with a high fever and dying. 】
[What, their family members are not dead yet? ]
[How could they die so quickly? They must have checked them one by one and then decided whether to kill them or not!
Although it is a crime of treason, if you kill all the people, there will be no talented people in your country.
But it’s almost done, except that a few tribesmen who lived far away were left alive! 】
[Oh, you said, Guagua, let His Majesty give those smart but unpopular people a chance, what do you say? ]
【How do you say it? 】
[It means comparing those corrupt officials, and those who oppose your Majesty's family, to remove them all, and then promote those who are loyal to your Majesty, serve the country and the people, or those from their family, so that some problems can be solved! ]
[Host, your idea is quite dangerous, but you can try it. ]
【Can.】
Fang Lingchu had just wanted to speak when he arrived at the Queen's bedroom.
"Now that we've arrived, I won't see you off, Master Xiao Fang. There are still some things to deal with in the East Palace, so I'll go back now."
"Farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
Fang Lingchu bowed slightly and sent the prince away.
Then a palace servant came over and led Fang Lingchu in.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, and to all the ladies."
When Fang Lingchu came in, wow, what a room full of beauties!
[Guagua, what did I see? Could this be the emperor's 3,000 concubines?]
When the Empress saw Fang Lingchu’s lovely appearance, she thought for a moment and said, “Miss Fang, you are welcome. Please take a seat.”
Someone immediately brought a chair to Fang Lingchu.
Everyone is here.
So many pairs of eyes were looking at Fang Lingchu with some degree of curiosity, making her feel very uncomfortable.
[Guagua, why are they looking at me like that? Why do I feel like a mother-in-law is looking at her daughter-in-law? Woo woo woo]
Ladies: It turns out that what Miss Fang said is true!
Her Majesty the Queen: This girl is indeed very active mentally.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's get started."
Fang Lingchu's face was full of question marks.
【Start what? 】
Fang Lingchu saw several young ladies from official families being brought in and bowed to them.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen and all the ladies and princesses."
"No need to be polite, please sit down"
When the Queen spoke, many people came in with food.
A table was set in front of them, and served with tea, snacks and food.
[Guagua, what does this mean! ]
[These are the candidates for the Crown Princess chosen by the Queen]
[That's a lot! Five!]
[Yes, one crown princess and four crown princesses, just right.]
【Understood.】
Fang Lingchu felt that there was nothing for him to do, so he ate quietly.
At this time, a beauty who was sitting close to the queen said, "Sister Queen, why don't we all show some talent? Otherwise it will be a bit boring!"
Her voice was as hollow and sweet as a lark.
[Wow, this lady has a nice voice, Gua Gua, who is she? ]
[Oh! Imperial Concubine Ji Qingwan, the eldest prince’s mother.]
[Oh! She is the queen who can’t have children! ]
Her Majesty: This Miss Fang really has an extremely active mind.
The concubine did not show it on the surface, and there was no ripple in her heart
Anyway, she doesn't care whether she has a child or not.
But it was different for other concubines. Some of them often secretly mocked her in their hearts.
But the imperial concubine didn't care.
[Yes, but she doesn't care. She doesn't like children, and she doesn't like the emperor either.]
[Ah! Why would she marry His Majesty if she doesn’t like the Emperor! ]
[Because she likes the Queen! ]
Ji Qingwan, who was originally calm, suddenly glanced at the queen nervously.
Just at this moment the queen also looked at her, and when their eyes met, Ji Qingwan blushed instantly.
The queen felt confused. What's wrong with liking her? Many people liked her.
[The Queen is so nice, isn't it normal to like her? 】
After coughing, he said: [Host, do you think this is normal? ]
