But it is not the Majesty's business as a subordinate to interfere with his actions.
So Cheng Zuo silently swallowed his doubts.
He took two steps forward and reported:
"Your Majesty, the Marquis' wife came to the palace today to complain to the Queen Mother. There are also unusual movements in the harem. Do you need me to address this matter?"
Speaking of the harem, Cheng Zuo wanted to hold his forehead.
Your Majesty's imperial skills made those ministers feel overwhelmed, and the emperor's dominance made them feel uneasy.
Those ministers don't use their brains much on official business, but instead work hard on unconventional methods.
The women crammed into His Majesty's harem are more troublesome than the other.
Xiao Guangbai rolled up his sleeves and sat down. Memorials were already piled up on the desk in the imperial study.
"No need to bother."
Cheng Zuo was stunned when he heard this.
He thought that with the importance His Majesty attached to His Majesty, the crisis on all sides would be resolved as soon as possible, but he did not expect His Majesty to say that there was no need to bother.
Does this mean you believe that the Empress can solve it herself?
However, Cheng Zuo soon discovered that he was too naive.
****
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is as round as a plate.
A moon-viewing banquet was held in the palace.
When he saw Qi Yuxuan, who was obviously unable to move and had a dull look on his face, but had to use a cane to salute His Majesty.
Cheng Zuo sighed again:
Your Majesty is truly Your Majesty. This method is truly cruel.
"Your humble servant, the Marquis's son, Qi Yuxuan, pays homage to Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
Qi Yuxuan's face looked extremely bad. If he hadn't tried so hard to maintain his appearance, it could almost be described as ashen.
"System, the male protagonist of this mission is really cruel..."
Tsk tsk, not only did he steal someone else's fiancée, but he also forced his subjects to kneel down and pay homage to him and his former fiancée.
What a tragedy this is that makes anyone who hears about it sad and anyone who sees it cry!
System: ...Host, you are not sad at all, okay?
Not only was she not sad, but the moment the scumbag knelt down in front of the host, the progress bar of the side quest was directly filled up.
The system intuitively sees Qingdai's inner world:
Wow, this is such a great way to give out points!
system:……
Silently light a candle for the scumbag.
On the high seat, Xiao Guangbai took Qingdai's hand and pulled her directly to his seat with one force.
At a banquet like this in the palace, the emperor would always be accompanied by the empress or a favorite concubine.
It’s just that although the current emperor has many concubines stuffed into his harem by ministers, the position of Empress has always been vacant.
As soon as Qingdai entered the palace, she became the leader of the four concubines.
Oh, and she is the only one of the four concubines who is still in office.
The ministers attending the banquet were all silent.
The silence lasted only a few breaths, and the next moment, all the ministers knelt down and saluted the emperor sitting on the main seat.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, we pay our respects to you. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, and a thousand years, ...
"Stand up."
Although Cheng Zuo was just a bystander, he felt so happy when he heard His Majesty say "Stand up".
A few days ago, these old bastards used ancient laws to demand His Majesty to do something, saying that it was against moral principles for a king to take his minister's wife.
But now he is kneeling on the ground, not daring to even fart.
Cheng Zuo now just wants to go out and swing his sword a hundred times, then shout to the sky three times: Awesome!
All the ministers sat in their seats in silence.
After all, Qingdai has been the queen for her entire life. This time, she is just taking advantage of the power of the emperor to show off her power as a favorite concubine.
But the court etiquette has become so familiar to me that I can't be more familiar with it.
Acting like a favored concubine was a piece of cake for her.
So, even when she was sitting next to Xiao Guangbai, Qingdai enjoyed everything she ate. Her every move was full of grace, and she didn't show any sign of restraint.
Eat more now while you have nothing to do...
Even with so many ministers below, she couldn't stop herself from picking up her chopsticks.
Xiao Guangbai looked at her calm demeanor and a smile flashed in his eyes.
The palace banquet was not even halfway through when a minister started causing trouble.
"When the late emperor was still alive, he often held moon-viewing banquets during the Mid-Autumn Festival to discuss state governance with his senior ministers."
An elderly minister glanced at Qingdai with disdain and even snorted.
"At that time, the late Empress had also proposed a state of rites and rituals, citing classics and offering brilliant remarks. Her policy on governing the country in just a few words impressed the veteran ministers again and again."
The former emperor, the moon-viewing banquet, the former empress.
Combining these important pieces of information, how could Qingdai not know that this old minister's yin and yang were not as exemplary as the late queen's.
However... a country of etiquette...
"System, could the late queen be from the same hometown as us?"
The system thinks it is really possible!
As soon as the old minister opened his mouth, Xiao Guangbai understood the hidden meaning in his words.
A hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
The narrow and long almond-shaped eyes glanced at him and silently remembered this old minister.
When I looked at Qingdai again, she seemed not to hear the hidden meaning, and just continued to eat and drink.
Xiao Guangbai raised his long eyebrows.
...For a moment, I really couldn't tell whether she heard it or not.
However, he did not have the habit of letting his woman suffer injustice for no reason.
He patted the slender waist with his big hand, intending to give her some hints.
But he didn't expect Qingdai to grab his hand and glare at him.
"Be good, don't move, it's a little itchy."
Indigo is essentially a salted fish, and the idea of salted fish is actually very simple.
The old minister didn't ask anyone to answer by name, he just sighed. Why should she rush to identify herself with the answer?
Isn't it just asking for trouble to think so much?
