Chapter 373 I am the true dragon emperor

Those officials who were originally furious calmed down in front of the emperor and did not dare to act rashly.

After Jiang Yankun followed the others to pay homage, he stood up and snorted: "You are a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong."

The official who had just scolded him was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick: "Who are you scolding as a bully?"

Jiang Yankun muttered: "Didn't you jump out and admit it yourself? Why are you asking questions when you know the answer?"

His naive and provocative tone really really really really deserves a beating.

The official was full of anger, but Jiang Yankun's tone was calm, not angry at all. He wanted to quarrel with him, but it seemed that he was making a fuss.

"Your Majesty!"

"Please judge for me, Minister Jiang... Minister Jiang is going too far." He could

not stop scolding, so he began to seek help from outside.

Emperor Xuanwu slowly turned his head in another direction, pretending not to hear, and raised his hand to scratch his forehead.

After a short silence, he cleared his throat: "My dear ministers, why are you coming to the palace to see me at this time? Is there something important?"

If it is just a trivial matter, a trivial matter that has nothing to do with the court and the people, I will make you pay.

The emperor's implication was understood by the smart people, but there were always those who were not so smart, stiffening their necks and singing against the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Shi Ruojun, the daughter of the governor of Yanzhou, is a violent she-devil who can't get married! Why did you choose her into the harem?"

"Shi Cainu, I think she is straightforward and lovely, strong and brave, I like her very much."

After just one meeting, the emperor could tell that she was strong and brave?

"What about Meng Wanqing, the daughter of a scholar in the Hanlin Academy? She had seven fiancés, and all of them died tragically! Isn't Your Majesty afraid..."

"Nonsense!"

The emperor slapped the table. "Meng Daying is gentle and quiet, well-read in poetry and eloquent. She is a rare talented woman, and I think she is very lovely. Besides, it is precisely because she is doomed to be cursed that I should take her into the harem. I am the true dragon emperor, protected by dragon energy, and no evil spirits can do anything to me. Don't let Meng Daying go out and harm others."

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"

Meng Daying, who was so grateful that he burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Your Majesty has saved the Meng family from danger.

"Then there's..."

"Enough!"

Emperor Xuanwu glared at the ministers who were speaking, his tone filled with obvious disgust: "You are court officials who are supported by the national treasury and should be concerned about the hardships of the people's livelihood. I thought you were in such a hurry to see me because something big was going to happen that would affect the fate of Dayan, but it turns out you are just eyeing my harem."

He slapped the table again and again: "Selecting beauties and concubines are my family affairs, what do you want to do? Do I have to get your consent for the kind of woman I like? If something doesn't go your way, you are going to rebel? What's the difference between that and threatening me?"

The last minister who dared to threaten the emperor should have gone to see Grandpa Taizu.

"I dare not!"

Seeing the emperor's anger, the officials who had come to attack Jiang Xinyue all knelt on the ground, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

They really didn't expect that the emperor had such a unique taste.

"If you put the spirit of caring about such trivial matters in the harem on the people, I dare not imagine how happy my people would be. But what are you arguing about with red faces? Arguing about why your daughters can't enter the palace as concubines? I have already chosen the ones I like. Do you want me to take all the beauties who come to the selection into the harem?" When

there are too many women in the harem, it is easy for trouble to happen, and Yue'er will be calculated again.

The emperor glanced at the ministers, then sighed and said, "I am getting older and older, and I am no longer able to handle many things. If the unsuccessful beauties do not want to stay in the palace, I will allow them to return home and marry on their own."

If all those young ladies from wealthy families stayed in the palace as maids, it would only increase the burden on the original palace people.

They don't know how to serve others, so don't make things difficult for him.

After the emperor said this, the anger on the faces of those officials was reduced a lot, but they were still a little unwilling to accept it.

It would be strange if they could accept that their good daughters lost to a few beauties with bad reputations.

But at least his precious daughter no longer had to stay in the palace as a slave. She could leave the palace at the age of 25, and she would have something to explain to herself when she returned home.

In the gloomy Chuxiu Palace, a breathless maid rushed into the hall: "Miss... Miss... you can go home, you can go home."

Su Hongliu jumped up from the chair: "What did you say? What can you go home?"

The maid cried with joy: "Dozens of failed concubines' families have come, and they are making a fuss in the study! The emperor was very angry and said that if the failed concubines don't want to serve in the palace, they can go home and get married."

Su Hongliu's tears fell: "That's great... that's really great... I thought I couldn't leave the palace until I was 25... "

By then, I would really be an old maid who no one wants.

They were lucky to be able to leave the palace. If they made any mistakes in the palace and were scolded or punished, they would not know whether they could get out alive.

"Ah... Wuwuwu..."

Only one person cried even more sadly.

Huang Yanyu was in a terrible state. If she could get out of the palace by rolling on the ground, she could even roll on the ground without caring about her dignity.

Several concubines who used to be disgusted with her bullying said gloatingly: "Oh! We are all leaving the palace, Yanyu, will you be lonely in the palace?"

"My cousin is the favored imperial concubine in the harem... Oh, no... tomorrow you should call her the Empress. My cousin is the Empress and my cousin is a palace maid, it's really strange enough."

"Then there will be hundreds of sisters in the palace maid's house serving the masters in the harem with her, how can she be lonely?"

"Hahahaha..."

Several concubines laughed.

Mu Qianqian didn't dare to say anything. When she left home, she stole the most valuable jade pendant in the house, which her father wanted to leave for her brother so that he could get married.

It is said that when my grandfather was still alive, a nobleman gave him a precious jade pendant worth ten gold coins.

Now, the jade pendant has been given to a eunuch in Chengqian Palace, and he will be a tea-serving maid in Chengqian Palace. One who

is close to the water gets the moon first, and she wants to be the one who picks the moon.

Nanny Duan is right, she doesn't want to leave the palace, nor does she want to be a slave who is bullied, so she can only fight for favor.

If she is a concubine, the emperor will only favor the imperial concubines and will not see them, the beautiful girls.

But if she is a maid in Chengqian Palace, she can see the emperor every day, is she still afraid that she can't cultivate feelings?

Even if there is no love, is there any man in the world who doesn't cheat?
