Chapter 1205 Loushan Priest
"The innocent are innocent. People like Master Nun don't even need to say a word wherever they go. All the rumors will be refuted by themselves."
Emperor Beili's eyes were gloomy. He could hardly believe that he had been sneering at Chen Rentian's personal teacher in the imperial study just a second ago, and then he started to compliment her by calling her "senior aunt" or "senior sister" the next second.
Concubine Zhan glanced around and the displeasure in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a smile on her lips.
I thought this group of intellectuals would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that they would change their stance before I could even start a fight. Moreover, they didn't seem to be pretending, and their words were sincere.
Nan Xiang was completely bewildered and then couldn't hide her joy: "Aning, you are of such a high generation."
"Just found out?"
Ye Qianning glanced at them and it was not difficult to guess that these people were most likely arranged by the master to enter the palace. It must be said that the master knew Emperor Beili too well. After just a few words from these people, Emperor Beili couldn't wait to bring them here to demonstrate.
When people are at their lowest point, they are very concerned about being suppressed and will not miss even the slightest opportunity.
Nan Xiang rubbed her hands together and said, "Hey, Aning, let's not count our generations."
"Alright."
Nan Xiang was delighted, but the next second her smile froze on her face.
"Priest Loushan, I don't need to give you the elders' gift I prepared."
"What? You also prepared a gift for the elders?"
"nature."
According to the custom of Loushan priests, the most senior person in Loushan is the master. As the most senior person, the priest will prepare gifts for the younger generations on that day. The master prepares cultural and educational gifts every year.
As a direct disciple, when you receive the etiquette of kneeling and bowing, you must also be prepared to return the favor with courtesy.
"Then...then let's calculate the seniority on that day, okay, okay?" Nan Xiang was reluctant to give gifts, especially Ye Qianning's gift.
Ye Qianning thought symbolically.
Seeing her thinking, Nan Xiang leaned over to her ear and whispered "Master's Wife".
"puff."
Ye Qianning didn't expect that the little girl was so bold and couldn't help laughing.
"That's alright."
"Okay, I'll save the best one for you then."
"Aning is the best." Nan Xiang leaned on Ye Qianning.
Sang Lanyu on the opposite side pouted with jealousy, her eyes fixed on that side without moving. If her father had not been there, she would have run over long ago.
Emperor Beili remained silent for a while before speaking calmly, "Rumors are simply not to be believed. Loushan has produced countless scholars and officials generation after generation. Even if Old Chen lives in seclusion, his contributions to the literary world are irreplaceable."
"Your Majesty is right. We are so pedantic."
"If we had met Master earlier, we wouldn't have been so influenced by the rumors spread by the world." One of the scholars stood up, walked a few steps to Ye Qianning, bowed, bent his legs and knelt, "Master, I feel ashamed of the Chen Elder Church. I was deceived and insulted by others. It is really disrespectful. Please punish me."
Once the first one stood up, the second one would stand up, the third one, the fourth one...
"Please punish me, Senior Sister."
"Please punish me, Master."
“…”
They all knelt in a row in front of Ye Qianning's desk.
Ye Qianning sat upright, his eyes sweeping over the dozen or so people indifferently, and he did not speak for a long time.
"Qian Ning."
Emperor Beili called out and winked at her.
Ye Qianning didn't even look at it, and the scene became quiet again for a while.
Several concubines understood what the emperor meant, but after what had happened to the queen, they did not dare to say anything for fear of getting into trouble.
The emperor was not in a good mood, but he could not lose his temper. He smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Qian Ning, the ministers believed the slander and now regret it. After all, I am over fifty years old. Now let's get up after we have talked it out."
