Chapter 28 Your Majesty, Your Majesty
Seeing that Xu Xinshu had no intention of changing her mind, the Kong family finally thought of another person, Concubine Xian.
It's not that they don't want to look for her, but Concubine Xian didn't have a good life when she was in the palace.
People outside thought they were a family, but in fact Concubine Xian had unilaterally severed ties with them a long time ago.
but……
Mrs. Kong thought, after all, now that her biological father was in trouble, Concubine Xian should help him.
Then she handed a sign toward the palace.
Rejected.
Concubine Xian didn't even want to see them.
At this time, Concubine Xian was in the study, pleading with the emperor.
But he was not pleading for Doctor Kong, but for his aunt.
"When the family is confiscated, I hope Your Majesty will pardon my concubine."
The emperor reminded her: "The country has its own laws, but before you are convicted, you can go to the Dali Temple and ask your father to write a letter to release me."
Concubine Xian kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Bei Jingchu, who was listening nearby, admired the Kong family's ability to offend people:
[The Kong family is really strong. They have a minister of state and a concubine who is virtuous. They are both good partners.]
[It's a skill that you can learn from this family who can offend so many people. ]
After Concubine Xian left, the Minister of the Central Secretariat and Xu Xinshu, who were summoned by the emperor, arrived.
Xu Xinshu also heard from her brother that it was because the eldest princess loved to listen to gossip that His Majesty monitored the Kong family in order to collect gossip.
Although it sounds outrageous and immoral, Xu Xinshu still developed a liking for the little baby in the cradle.
Only those who have been rescued know how grateful they are in their hearts.
She handed a bunch of things to the emperor and said, "I was locked up in Kong's house and didn't attend the princess's full-month banquet. Now I'm giving her the gifts that I should have given her long ago."
When Bei Jingchu heard that money had come again, her eyes lit up.
I felt grateful in my heart that Miss Xu was such a good person.
Then Xu Xinshu heard: [Ah~ How can I let Miss Xu know that she is a genius in agriculture? ]
The emperor was also thinking about this problem.
Xu Xinshu was stunned by the sudden voice in her heart and found that no one was talking. The source of the voice was the cradle next to the dragon chair.
Both the fact that babies can talk and the fact that you can hear what they are thinking are scary, okay?
It took Xu Xinshu a long time to recover and receive the message in Bei Jingchu's words.
Is she an agricultural genius?
When she was young, she was interested in those things, and the orchids she cultivated attracted the attention of the nobles in Beijing.
But when I wanted to study things like rice seedlings, my parents scolded me for not being elegant enough.
She spends her days among the dirt, not looking like a lady from a wealthy family at all.
So I was forced to give up.
The emperor tried to put on a friendly smile and asked, "Miss Xu, what are your hobbies?"
However, because he always had a serious face, his sudden and deliberate smile looked particularly strange and scary.
Even Xu Lanqi, who had followed the emperor for more than ten years, was frightened.
Your Majesty, please don't laugh so horribly.
Xu Lanqi was confused. Could it be that His Majesty really liked his sister?
So he answered on behalf of Xu Xinshu: "Your Majesty, it's just some things like playing chess and playing the zither to cultivate one's sentiments."
"Nothing else?"
Xu Xinshu spoke before her brother: "Your Majesty, I am also good at growing plants."
Since the princess said she was a genius in agriculture, why didn't she be brave for once?
"Okay, then I have something to tell you. There are also ladies in the palace who cultivate flowers and plants. Please come into the palace."
Xu Lanqi knelt down immediately after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, I am weak-willed and not suitable to work in the palace."
"There are many talented people in the Taiji Palace. My sister will only cause trouble to Your Majesty if she stays in the palace."
The emperor saw what the boy was thinking at a glance.
"Are you afraid that Miss Xu will be wronged in the palace?"
Xu Lanqi remained silent.
The emperor stood up and walked down the steps.
"You rejected it on her behalf right after you arrived. Have you ever asked your sister what she wants?"
Xu Lanqi felt that His Majesty was simply confused. What wish could his sister have?
Which good person would give up being a pampered young lady at home and go into the palace to work?
He asked, "Shu'er, are you willing?"
Just refuse it now. His Majesty is not giving up and he won’t let it go until his sister refuses it.
Really, this is the way to go.
"Your Majesty, I am willing."
Xu Lanqi: ???
He was confused and wanted to object.
But the two ignored him, and the emperor simply clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, I'll give you three days, remember to take up the post."
It was so pleasant and smooth, there was no need to go through him at all.
It's decided.
The Minister of the Central Secretariat went out in a daze, originally to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess.
As a result, during this trip, her sister was granted a position by His Majesty.
If you like someone, shouldn't you just make her your concubine?
I don't understand.
"Shu'er, why did you agree? Do you want to be a female official and thus become His Majesty's concubine?"
Xu Xinshu frowned unhappily: "Brother, is it true that a woman's lifelong pursuit is to become someone's wife or concubine?"
"Can't I do what I like? Can I have my own pursuits?"
Xu Lanqi was stunned. He had never thought about these questions.
He had never thought about who his sister would marry in the future, but in his heart he still considered her his responsibility to support her for the rest of his life.
As for the things she likes, she just uses them to pass the time when she is bored.
I never thought that my sister also has her own life pursuits and ideals.
But my sister is also a person, and as a person she has her own thoughts.
Why, because she was a girl, did he subconsciously treat her as a delicate lady who only wanted to eat, drink, have fun and talk about love?
At this moment Xu Lanqi reflected.
Seeing that time was running out, the Kong family finally agreed to the divorce and signed the divorce agreement.
Xu Lanqi watched Boss Kong sign the divorce agreement and put it away carefully, planning to take it to the government office for record.
"Okay, we've signed, and you should release my father." Boss Kong threw away the pen.
Xu Lanqi sneered disdainfully: "When did I ever promise you to let your father out?"
"You've made our girl look like this, and you still want me to help you?"
"It's daytime now, not a good time to dream."
He always behaves in a gentle and polite manner, and never uses profanity when swearing at others.
Boss Kong's eyes widened. "Didn't you say that if we get a divorce, you'll let my father go?"
"Of course I will let it go, but the law will not. For corruption and bribery, just wait for your property to be confiscated."
Boss Kong suddenly stood up and rushed towards Xu Lanqi, trying to snatch the signed divorce agreement.
But the guards behind him stepped forward and stopped him.
Xu Lanqi smiled and said, "Very good, beating an official appointed by the imperial court is an even greater crime."
