"Your Majesty, what are you worried about now?"
"I'm currently troubled by so many things, why are you still planning to help me solve my problems? The harem is not allowed to manage state affairs. Are you trying to overstep my authority?"
Nan Luoying just wanted to find a topic to explain, but she didn't expect that the emperor would speak so badly. She was so angry that she pressed her nose and shook her head.
"No, Your Majesty, how dare I? I just feel that you haven't visited me for a long time. I wonder if Your Majesty doesn't love me anymore."
"The palace I arranged for you is almost ready."
Since the palace had been uninhabited for a long time, it would take a whole day to clean it up. After it was cleaned up, she could move in with her entourage.
"That place is quite quiet and the environment is nice. How can you be lonely drinking tea and admiring flowers every day?"
When this was revealed, Nan Luoying blushed, but she continued to argue.
"What? How is that possible? Your Majesty, if you don't want to come, then forget it. Why do you have to tease me like this?"
This stuttering made him think that there was something wrong with Nan Luoying...
Nan Luoying put down the food box and went out. She walked to her palace and picked up a sandbag in the yard and hit it hard. Because it was winter and there was ice on the sandbag, the pain made her gasp.
This emperor is really good at joking!
When the little maid saw her master like this, she cried out and ran over with the ointment in her hands.
The ointment was also given by the Nan family. It was very effective in treating bruises and injuries. He was just afraid that Nan Luoying would do this, so the maid ran over with heartache and handed the ointment to him.
"Miss, no matter how angry we are, we can't take it out on ourselves! If Grandpa saw you like this, he would definitely be angry too."
"Don't you know how much the master loves the young lady? If this is the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the master!"
He trembled as he said this, and I didn't know if it was because he was cold or scared.
"Grandpa naturally knows. Grandpa knows everything about the palace now! Well, there's no point in telling you. Isn't it easy to explain this?"
The emperor actually dared to tease her, how infuriating!
However, Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment when Luo Ying ran out of the palace, and then he laughed heartily. However, the laughter was not a big deal, but it attracted Wang Xuance who was passing by. Now he is extraordinary, having achieved the position of Chief Censor.
He took advantage of the situation to supervise all officials and Zhuge Liang to manage the court together. However, Zhao Xin was also quite puzzled as to why Wang Xuance had nothing better to do than pass by him.
"Your Majesty, what's causing you to smile so happily? The Imperial Academy is peaceful and quiet these days, and the fact that nothing major has happened is truly cause for celebration."
"But has Your Majesty decided who will be in charge of the Spring Festival activities? Will it still be the Empress or a minister who will be fully responsible?"
Zhao Xin had finally figured it out. Why were they all asking him about the Spring Festival? Zhao Xin, completely clueless, feigned ignorance and said nothing, defying his conscience.
Wang Xuance thought that no one was taking care of the Spring Festival, so he volunteered to kneel down and even submitted a memorial in an official manner.
"Your Majesty, if that is the case, how about I take on the role?"
Wow, it turns out that everyone is eyeing the Spring Festival.
Zhao Xin didn't quite understand what they were planning to do during the Spring Festival, but seeing Wang Xuance hesitated, he didn't stop him from speaking. So Wang Xuance continued speaking.
"I promise to do this perfectly, so that the Emperor will find absolutely nothing to fault with it. I'm well-versed in such matters, and I've even prepared the materials in advance, waiting to assist Your Majesty!"
“…”
This means that if he refuses, he will look very bad.
"I suddenly remembered that Prime Minister Zhuge came to ask about this a few days ago, so I will hand this matter over to Mr. Zhuge."
"If possible, why don't you handle this case with Zhuge Liang? Honestly, matters like this are probably handled by Heshen. Why are you all vying for this matter now? Are you trying to hide something from me?"
Wang Xuance subconsciously wanted to make some excuses after hearing what was said, but when he saw Zhao Xin staring at him with a stern gaze, he seemed to have nothing to hide and told everything.
I said I would tell it all, but there was still some part hidden in my heart. For things like this, I should tell it all, right?
"Your Majesty, such a thing cannot harm you!"
Zhao Xin opened his eyes to see Wang Xuance's situation.
That's right, my loyalty is still there, and my ambition is also still there. Why does Wang Xuance's words suddenly sound like rebellion to me?
"The Spring Festival event is a particularly significant turning point for His Majesty. Therefore, Mr. Zhuge wants to personally handle it, probably because he doesn't want this meeting to fall into the hands of others with ulterior motives."
Zhao Xin also understood Zhuge's thoughts. After all, he couldn't harm a Zhuge like him. Then he looked at Wang Xuance and motioned him to continue.
"And if Your Majesty says that Zhuge was solely responsible, then it was probably done by Zhuge and Minister Liu together. These two are inseparable these days, doing everything together. I even saw them playing chess together a few days ago."
Playing chess...Zhao Xin didn't think there was anything wrong with playing chess.
"Your Majesty, you can't think that way. Just playing chess is definitely not a good sign. The two of them playing chess together and being inseparable, do they need to confirm that there's no possibility of rebellion at this moment?"
Why did he suspect that Wang Xuance was instigating?
The people assigned by this system, don't their ambition and loyalty values have to be fixed now?
Although these two values were not fixed when Bai Qi first came down, now when he looks at Bai Qi with his eyes of recognition, these two values have become fixed.
And Zhao Xin didn't see those people with fixed values suddenly wanting to rebel.
It seems that this is probably a process.
"Lord Wang, please don't overthink it. They know their limits when it comes to matters like this. I trust them more. If you're free, could you please help me sort out the list of all the nobles? I also need you to take on the responsibility of supervising all the officials!"
This statement was flawless. It not only showed that Zhao Xin believed in them, but also that he valued Wang Xuance more.
As for Wang Xuance, Zhao Xin can only say that his original intention was good, but in fact the path he took was too narrow.
However, Heshen really shouldn't be allowed to attend the Anshen Festival activities now, as it seems to be against etiquette. For example, that event should be given to Kou Zhunren to organize.
But there is indeed a sacrificial ceremony before the Spring Festival, so let Kou Zhunren take care of it.
That's appropriate.
