Chapter 499: Poor Acting
The emperor and Jiang Xinyue turned their heads at the same time. A very beautiful girl blinked her bright eyes and looked at the emperor pitifully.
Jiang Xinyue looked at the girl, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
The emperor raised his elbow and pushed the girl away from his arm, and didn't forget to glare at her.
It seemed that he was warning him not to set his sights on her.
Jiang Shu'er bit her lip and reluctantly stopped the emperor: "My benefactor, you saved me, and I have no way to repay you. How about inviting you and your sister to Yipinju for tea?"
Jiang Xinyue whispered: "Drink tea? I thought you were going to repay me with your bodies!"
"Bang!"
She was hit on the forehead again, and the emperor whispered in her ear: "If you say another nonsense, I will make you pay tonight."
Jiang Xinyue shrugged: "Miss, I'm sorry, I am his wife, not his sister. Besides, you have attended many palace banquets. It's too unreasonable for you to say that you don't know me and the emperor! Am I right? Sister Shu'er?"
Jiang Shu'er, the girl from the third room of the Jiang family, was also the one who bullied Jiang Yutong the most when she was a child.
Jiang Shuer was surprised: "You are... Yue... Queen Mother? This... Every time I enter the palace, I only take a quick glance. I really didn't recognize you. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
She looked terrified, as if Jiang Xinyue had done something to her.
What a pitiful green tea bitch.
"You..."
Jiang Xinyue just raised her hand, and Jiang Shuer immediately showed a terrified expression. She hid in the arms of a maid beside her, with tears in her eyes, biting her lower lip tightly.
Her maid also had red eyes, hugged her own girl, and looked like she was willing to sacrifice herself.
The two masters and servants acted so sincerely.
Jiang Xinyue clicked her tongue a few times, could it be that the Jiang family's acting talent is inherited?
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Shuer with amusement. If he hadn't investigated Yue'er's background long ago, he would have been fooled by her.
"You..."
"Your Majesty!"
Jiang Shuer suddenly stood up from the maid's arms: "Your Majesty, please don't blame Sister Yue'er. It's... It's Shuer who always makes Sister Yue'er angry, so Sister Yue'er hits Shuer, but that was when we were kids. Shuer doesn't blame Sister Yue'er anymore."
What the hell?
The emperor frowned: "I want to say that your acting is very poor, and the smell of onions has penetrated into my nose."
After saying that, the emperor looked at the handkerchief she was holding in her hand with a meaningful look.
Using a handkerchief that has peeled onions to wipe your eyes will only make your tears flow more fiercely.
Jiang Shuer made a fool of herself, but it doesn't matter. She is thick-skinned.
"Since they are the Emperor and the Empress, they are family. Your Majesty, please don't be so formal with me. I have reserved the best seat in Yipinju. Why don't you come and have some tea?"
"Aren't you here to attend my sister's wedding banquet?"
Jiang Xinyue tilted her head and looked at her: "Aren't you going?"
"No."
Jiang Shu'er shook her head: "It is my great honor to meet the Emperor and the Empress. Naturally, I have to invite the Emperor and the Empress separately."
Jiang Xinyue nodded, then smiled: "Okay! Then you go to Yipinju and order a pot of the best Dahongpao. Your Majesty and I will come after we send our gifts."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyue was the first to agree. It seems that she is not as favored as the rumors say. She still needs to pull in beautiful girls in the family to consolidate her position.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu'er suppressed her ecstasy and immediately knelt down: "I'll go now."
The emperor walked into the general's mansion, presented his congratulatory gift under a pseudonym, and whispered in Jiang Xinyue's ear: "She is not a good person at first glance. She must have some intentions towards me. Do you really want to go?" "
Haha!"
Jiang Xinyue smiled slyly: "Lie to her."
Yipinju is the largest teahouse in the capital. Only the rich can enter. The ordinary tea is more than three times more expensive than that in ordinary teahouses, not to mention the king of tea, Dahongpao?
It is estimated that Jiang Xinyue's uncle, who is the head of the Ministry of Justice, will have to take several years of salary to redeem her!
Jiang Shu'er is arrogant and thinks that as long as she can enter the palace as a concubine, her family will be willing to pay her no matter how much money she has.
Besides, isn't it just a pot of tea?
She just didn't believe it. Could it make someone go bankrupt?
Jiang Xinyue took the emperor, who was dressed up, and mixed in the crowd drinking wedding wine, watching a lively and blessed wedding. Her heart was also infected. Thinking of her own children, she felt happy and peaceful. The
general of the cavalry and his wife recognized the emperor, but a letter had been sent from the palace before, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to send her blessings in person, but didn't want to make a fuss and steal the limelight from the bride and groom.
Therefore, even if he recognized him, the general didn't dare to go up to recognize him.
As the sun rose and set, at the end of the wedding banquet, even the bridal chamber was noisy, and Jiang Xinyue watched it.
When she returned to the palace, she chattered excitedly to the emperor about her sister's childhood: "She got married in the blink of an eye, but I always felt that Yanjie'er and Ze'er were still children! They used to follow me, pull my clothes, and want..."
"Hmm?"
The emperor pulled her hand into his arms and blocked her chattering mouth with his lips.
She was so cute, and she was getting cuter and cuter.
He couldn't help but want to kiss her.
In the twentieth year of Xuanwu in Dayan, the court had selected a large number of female officials through imperial examinations and palace examinations and distributed them to various places.
In particular, a large number of female officials were distributed to the conquered Jin Kingdom and other vassal states. Among them, there were many people with great ambitions, and Jiang Xinyue gave full support.
Although the conditions were a bit harsh, they could report all the difficult and complicated problems that could not be solved to the court and let the Queen Mother solve them, which was much better than those officials who were blocked everywhere after being demoted.
Shi Ruojun had made great military achievements. He successively killed the King of Fuso and the Emperor of Jin. He also destroyed the Jin Kingdom together with Yan Sanlang, helping the emperor to unify the world and became a veritable general who conquered the East.
However, now there is only Dayan, and no other powerful countries. Shi Ruojun was arranged in a vassal state to guard the peace of Dayan.
Women can do this, and the court really uses female officials. More and more women begin to fight for their own interests, no longer swallowing their anger and making concessions.
In the 20th year of Xuanwu in Dayan, there were as many as 300 female officials across the country, and there were as many as four or five female officials in the capital who could attend the court.
The women who could enter the court were even more outstanding. At the beginning, they surpassed all the men, which greatly saved face for the women.
But the court officials who could stay until this time were not vegetarians. In order to win back a city in front of the emperor, they were more diligent in government affairs.
For a while, the emperor and Jiang Xinyue were busy with their business, and the people's difficulties were solved in time.
Isn't this the "Great Harmony of the World" that Jiang Xinyue said before?
