Chapter 130: Condemnation is suspended, let’s go eat melons!
That's because she had already cut out the page with her name on it completely!!
Concubine Qing was screaming wildly in her heart.
This time the action was too hasty. Almost from the moment she heard that the young man was in trouble with Concubine Rou Gui, she immediately asked her brother to drag Zeng Wencheng out of the mansion, and then rushed here directly.
She didn't have time to deal with it properly, and the page of paper is still in the secret pocket of her sleeve!
Concubine Qing closed her eyes tightly, turned around and went back to the Xingshuang Palace.
Selling the emperor's horoscope is a great sin, as is buying it.
However, those purchased this time are all concubines in the harem, and it all depends on how Emperor Mingze wants to deal with them.
She stood back in front of Emperor Mingze, bowed, and handed the piece of paper with her name on it to Eunuch Changshun with both hands. She said in a harsh voice: "Your Majesty, this is the record of my purchase..."
After saying this, he waited there with a nervous look on his face.
Jiang Yanchuan took the paper from Eunuch Changshun, glanced at it casually, and put it directly on the booklet.
He had been busy with wars in recent years, and although he could not say that he had deep feelings for the concubines in the harem, he was always willing to be more tolerant as long as they did not cross his bottom line.
What's more——
[Hey, the aunts just wanted to learn more about our father's personality and preferences. How can this punish the aunts? ! ]
The young man's cheeks turned red with anxiety, and he was almost about to help him make the decision.
Jiang Yanchuan hummed, "You have done a great job in reporting this, my dear, what reward do you want?"
Concubine Qing was stunned, and then the ecstasy in her heart suddenly surged up.
As long as Emperor Mingze didn't punish her this time, how could she dare to ask for any reward? !
She opened her mouth, her face full of knowledge and gratitude -
[I want a child! Aunt Yushi wants a child ahhhh!!] Jiang Yingcheng's voice suddenly became excited, [Ahhhh Aunt Yushi why hasn't she said it yet? I'm so anxious!]
In her suddenly widened almond eyes, there was an eagerness that said, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, then I will tell you."
Concubine Qing closed her mouth and met Emperor Mingze's half-smile with despair.
That's enough.
She wants to die.
…
The revelations about the Nanyang Kingdom were diverted due to Concubine Qing Guifei's sudden resignation. On the next day's court, Emperor Mingze arranged for his confidant to mention the matter seemingly unintentionally.
The court meeting had just been halfway through when Yunhui General Zhu Qian stood out from the team with his head held high, feeling very proud and satisfied, "It's finally my turn to pick up the slack."
"Your Majesty!" An extremely sorrowful voice suddenly rang out from the hall, successfully scaring everyone.
Including Zhu Qian who has already stood outside the team.
Jiang Yingcheng, who had just been away for a while, was confused: [Huh? Why did two uncles come out? ]
Zhu Qian, who failed to seize the initiative, was speechless.
He wanted to ask that too!
Pan Chengbi, who was already crying, ignored the gazes of his colleagues and said loudly, "I have heard what Concubine Rou did in Concubine Wan's palace yesterday. It is unfair for her to misunderstand that the little princess used witchcraft just because of a witch doll. It is also inappropriate to be overly concerned about your majesty's privacy. As Concubine Rou's maternal family, the Pan family should be held responsible for this matter."
His voice, which was almost stuttered with sobs, was sincere: "I beg you to set an example for me and resign from my post. I will give the little princess an explanation on behalf of Concubine Rou!"
Pan Chengbi lowered his head, hiding the gleam in his eyes.
Jingwan has been in the palace for many years and has sat in her current position. She has long been the biggest support of the Pan family.
The Pan family has placed all their treasures on her and the Fourth Prince. It can be said that anything can happen to anyone in the Pan family except Jingwan!
They, mother and son, must not miss such an important occasion as the New Year's Day palace banquet due to such a ridiculous reason as house arrest!
If Emperor Mingze could let the matter go for the sake of the fact that the Pan family had served the royal family for many years, and only demoted him to an insignificant official position, it would be nothing compared to Jingwan's loss of power.
The entire court was silent for a moment because of Pan Chengbi's action.
After a while, Jiang Yingcheng let out a long "Oh" after listening to 007 explaining the pros and cons to her.
[It turns out that he is Concubine Rou Guifei's brother! ]
This kind of argument that attributed all the blame to unintentional mistakes really opened her eyes.
It also made her very angry!
[Damn it! She used the gift to bribe the maids in my mother's palace, intending to give false testimony to slander Cheng Cheng, and even personally put the witch doll into Cheng Cheng's candy box. Can she get away with it by saying it was a misunderstanding?!]
As a result, the candies she had collected with great difficulty were discovered by her mother, who then confiscated them all!
[She said she bought the horoscope of the emperor because she cared about him. She was just trying to harm Cheng Cheng, okay?! ]
Jiang Yingcheng was so angry that he started to dig up dirt on him: [No, I can't let him leave in such a dignified way - let's go dig up some dirt on him!]
Pan Chengbi, who still had his head down, waited a long time for Emperor Mingze's response, but his colleagues around him suddenly became a little uneasy.
Several military officers learned about this from the young man's inner voice yesterday, and were not surprised by Pan Chengbi's action.
The civil servants were extremely angry!
The Minister of Finance glanced around and finally looked at the equally angry Minister of Works beside him. He found an ally by taking advantage of the other's overly exposed emotions: "I heard that the Fourth Prince was punished with house arrest for three months because he targeted the little princess a while ago..."
The Minister of Industry paused, and cautiously glanced at Pan Jifeng, whose face was ashen, and then looked up at the little fellow on the golden platform who was angry but felt that he could only vent his anger through his own efforts. He felt so full of sympathy that he had nowhere to put it, and gritted his teeth.
"That's right," the Minister of Works, who was venting his anger for the little guy, was full of pride and for the first time he made presumptuous comments about the harem in the court. "I also heard that yesterday, His Majesty ordered the historian Zeng Wencheng's house to be raided overnight. The charge was still to make a profit from His Majesty's horoscope. It must be related to Concubine Rougui's matter..."
The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that he had indeed picked the right person: "Tsk tsk tsk, how could the Pan family know that they were wrong..."
The Minister of Industry looked angry: "They are scared!"
Similar discussions echoed throughout the court. The ministers, like lone heroes fighting against power in order to vent their anger on behalf of the little guy, controlled the volume to a level just loud enough for the Pan father and son to hear.
The shrewd calculation in Pan Chengbi's eyes was finally replaced by horror.
What's going on with this group of people?
You even dare to discuss matters in the harem openly?
Moreover, these people who participated in the discussion were all the upright people who normally refused to participate in any party disputes? !
【Wuhu——】
The discussions of the ministers were all paused by this voice which was obviously filled with excitement.
Your Highness is so happy, he must have discovered some interesting news!
The few people who had just spoken looked at each other, shook their wide sleeves, turned around and stood up straight.
The condemnation is on hold, let’s go and eat melons!
