Chapter 269: More Discipline
The emperor's face was still a little bad, but after hearing Xixi's words, his brows relaxed.
He originally thought that the fourth child of the Qin family didn't like the palace. If he stayed in the palace, he would contradict Concubine Shu today, and he would contradict him tomorrow!
The emperor was already a little jealous, and now he was even more jealous.
However, when the conclusion of "the fourth child admires the emperor" came out, regardless of whether the Qin family was flattering the emperor, the emperor at least felt relieved.
His brows relaxed slightly at this time, and his mind moved.
Since the fourth child of the Qin family was suspected of loyalty, it would be better to let him answer it himself.
"Tell me yourself, do you still want to continue to work in the palace now?"
Qin Xixi secretly said in her heart.
Her fourth brother is the most honest, but also a little stupid.
If the emperor asked this, her fourth brother would most likely tell the truth.
Sure enough, Xiao Si hesitated for a moment before confessing.
"Actually, I really don't want to continue serving in the palace. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Qin Xixi, Qin Shu's face also changed.
Xiao Si was really bold. Couldn't he see that the emperor was going to give him a leg up? Such a good opportunity, why didn't he grab it quickly? What's the point of telling the truth? Qin Shu
was now silently thinking in her heart how to clean up Xiao Si's mess.
Xiao Xixi also sighed.
[Fourth brother, aren't you trying to undermine me? I just told the Emperor that fourth brother admires him very much, and now fourth brother doesn't want to continue working in the palace!]
Xiao Si naturally heard Xixi's complaints, and he felt a little uneasy.
He also knew the concerns of Xixi and his mother, but he really didn't want to stay in the palace any longer.
These past few days, he was like a bird in a cage. He used to have the vast sky to fly freely, but now he can only work in the palace from point A to B.
Xiao Si knew the consequences, but he still wanted to give it a try, so as not to regret it.
Concubine Shu and Concubine An laughed in their hearts, thinking that the fourth young master of the Qin family was really brainless and had nothing but martial arts.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor was not angry, but raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"Just because of this little thing today, you don't want to stay in the palace? Didn't you say you admire me? Are all these fake?"
Qin Shu broke out in cold sweat as soon as these words came out.
If the emperor really wanted to convict Xiao Si, he could have charged him with deceiving the emperor.
And if Xiao Si's answer did not satisfy the emperor, even if the little grandson and Qin Shu were here to protect Xiao Si, Xiao Si might not be safe.
I don't know if it was because Xiao Si was simple and had few ideas, Xiao Si just shook his head and said his true thoughts.
"I really admire you, Your Majesty, so I want to contribute to Daliang like you. But even if I am not in the palace, I can still contribute to Daliang in the martial arts world. And in the martial arts world, I don't have to worry about offending the nobles, but it is a good thing for the palace."
Xiao Si thought about it and added,
"Maybe my contribution in the martial arts world is even greater than in the palace? I can also provide you with greater help than in the palace!"
Xiao Si's words can be said to be sincere. Although the emperor is jealous of him, he is not an unreasonable person. After hearing what Xiao Si said, he realized that maybe Xiao Si really doesn't like the palace.
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, but showed a thoughtful look, Qin Shu immediately understood that it was not impossible to let Xiao Si come back.
She remembered the things she was preparing recently, and hurriedly ignited the fire in the emperor's heart.
"Xiao Si is so ignorant and has failed the emperor's love. It is Xiao Si's fault. I will definitely discipline him. But Xiao Si is really a failure. He thinks of some strange ideas every day. If he stays in the palace, it will inevitably offend the nobles." After Qin Shu
finished speaking, she glanced at Shufei. Shufei felt a little uncomfortable when she was looked at by her, but because the emperor was still here, she endured and said nothing.
"This matter is also the fault of the Qin family. The family has already started to prepare to thank His Majesty for the white deer a few days ago. I didn't expect it to be used now!"
The Qin family is going to offer a white deer as a tribute?
This is something the emperor did not expect.
You know, white deer symbolize auspiciousness and are animals that all monarchs like.
But white deer are very rare, and the ones that can be found are scattered in the palaces of various countries and kept in captivity.
Although Daliang also has white deer, auspicious things are of course becoming less and less.
Since the Qin family is determined to find white deer, it means that they still care about Daliang.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and felt a little relieved when he thought of the existence of white deer.
"Okay, okay, you Qin family are thoughtful. Since Xiao Si doesn't want to stay in the palace, then you will be allowed to leave. But don't come in crying in the future."
This is certain. If Xiao Si wants to join the Yu Lin Army again in the future, wouldn't it seem that the emperor's orders are changing every day, which will weaken the emperor's authority.
Qin Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's how it ends. You guys go back."
After the emperor spoke, Qin Shu quickly took Xiao Si and Xixi and stood up, wanting to go home.
The little grandson of the emperor hadn't said a few words to Qin Xixi yet. Although he wanted to go find Xixi, he was forced to stay under the pressure of the emperor.
Not only were others afraid of the emperor, even his grandson was sometimes a little scared.
"You go to the study and wait for me."
Pei Xuanyi nodded, and left quickly.
Concubine Shu was still standing there, lowering her head uneasily, not understanding why the emperor wouldn't let her go.
But she still felt that no matter what, she was a concubine in the harem. Could it be that the emperor would turn against her because of the Qin family?
After thinking this through, Concubine Shu started to make trouble again, pretending to be pitiful in front of the emperor.
"The Qin family is really too bullying. The fourth young master of the Qin family is like a savage! Chuan Qiong is so pitiful. He has suffered such humiliation and is still unconscious..."
The emperor became impatient when he heard Concubine Shu complaining like chanting a sutra beside his ear.
"I will have a good talk with the Grand Tutor about this."
Concubine Shu was very satisfied at first, but slowly she felt something was wrong.
What does it mean to have a good talk with the Grand Tutor?
"Concubine Shu also needs to discipline Tong Chuanqiong. He has been spoiled. Now he can't even beat a child, and he still wants to be a general? He should train for a few more years!"
Concubine Shu didn't expect the emperor to say that, and she was frightened.
In the end, Concubine Shu didn't get the emperor to punish the Qin family as she wished, but made the emperor hate Tong Chuanqiong!
