No one knows what this lady is thinking. If they knew, the Queen Mother and everyone else would probably spit in her face.
In fact, it was not just one lady who thought so. Many ladies felt so. Everyone was afraid of girls who were too powerful. But no matter what they felt in their hearts, they all flattered Wei Fu enthusiastically.
Wei Fu listened happily, hearing nice words, eating delicious food, and surrounded by a circle of good-looking brothers. Wei Fu felt that his life was so perfect.
When the banquet was about to end, the emperor said: "Since the princess is in a good mood today, I will choose two people now. The princess will find a time to go and look at the house for his family."
No matter what the reason these people support Fu'er, whether it is for profit or fear, as long as they don't disgust Fu'er, it's fine.
Correspondingly, the gifts brought by these people were very valuable, and they had to look decent to save face. This was discussed by the emperor with Wei Fu in advance.
Wei Fu had made a fortune today and was very generous. She was not averse to showing houses to people, so she naturally would not refuse the emperor's suggestion.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, no matter if they were genuinely happy or pretending to be happy, they all stood up and said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess."
The emperor smiled and said to Wei Fu, "Fu'er, pick two people yourself!"
Wei Fu thought about it and pointed out the Shen Xi family and the Zhong Wang family.
Chen Nian brought Chen Ci and Prince Zhong out to express their gratitude. Prince Zhong had originally wanted to invite Wei Fu to visit his palace, but for some reason, after Wei Fu pointed him out, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
But even if he had this bad premonition, he would not refuse to let Wei Fu come to his house.
He didn't want Wei Fu to put Prince Zhong's Mansion on the blacklist. After all, life is so long, who knows if there will be something in the future that requires Wei Fu.
Some people who really wanted to ask Wei Fu to come to their homes were very sorry that they were not chosen. Those who did not want Wei Fu to come to their homes and were not selected were very relieved, but also showed regret.
The emperor sat at the top, taking in everyone's performance.
When the banquet was about to end, Rong Huan arrived with Wei Fu's birthday gift. He held the gift and said, "I am late. Please forgive me, Princess."
The emperor had previously sent him out on a mission. When he just got home, the servants at home said that an invitation had been sent from the princess's mansion, so he hurriedly prepared gifts and went to the palace.
Wei Fu ran out from his seat and happily pulled him up: "Fu'er thought you were not coming."
Rong Huan bent down and explained very respectfully why he didn't come here immediately.
Wei Fu looked at the emperor disapprovingly: "Uncle, you should give Xiaorong some time to rest! You can't let her work so hard all the time."
When some old ministers heard Wei Fu talking to the emperor like this, they frowned in disapproval.
But for various reasons, he didn't speak.
But not speaking about Wei Fu does not mean not speaking about other people.
"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, this former Minister of Rites, Lord Rong's family..." What family? Because Rong Huan's background was too complicated, the old man didn't know how to address him for a moment.
"When did the emperor allow this person to serve as an official in the court?"
Rong Huan had previously joined the Anbu. After entering the palace, he originally went to a side hall, intending to wait until the banquet was over before coming to see Wei Fu, but the palace servant directly told him to come in.
He had an order from above and it was difficult for him to disobey, so he came in.
He actually anticipated this situation when he came in.
The Emperor dared to let Rong Huan in, naturally anticipating such a situation. He faced Wei Fu's doubtful gaze and said, "Rong Huan had already joined our secret service before we found out about Prince Ping's affairs. Much of the evidence in Prince Ping's mansion was collected by Rong Huan."
The selection of various officials in the court was not necessarily made known to the court officials, but most of them were the result of discussions between the emperor and the court officials. However, the emperor himself had always made the final decision on the people in the Anbu.
No one in the court has the right to say anything.
But Rong Huan's background was too outrageous. The old man couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, although the officials of your Anbu have no right to ask, Rong Huan's identity is too shameful. Please think twice!"
Seeing that Wei Fu was about to explode, the Crown Prince quickly pulled her to sit down and whispered to her, "Fu'er, wait and see how your father responds. If your father is at a loss, then you can speak again."
Rong Huan is very capable. My father thinks it is a pity to keep him in the dark, and wants to put him in the light to do more things that benefit the country and the people, so he took this opportunity to let him show up.
Wei Fu whined and leaned in the prince's arms.
The prince hugged his little sister contentedly and smiled in a very unkind way.
The emperor said calmly, "How can Rong Huan's status be considered unworthy of being on the stage?"
"Did he kill someone, set a fire, violate some law, or harm you in some way?"
Old man: "This..." Of course, none of these exist.
"Your Majesty, you know very well that this is not what I am talking about. Lord Rong's mother and father were incestuous, and he is the child of incest. With such a background, how can he be an official?"
"Officials value a clean family background. By doing this, the Emperor is telling the world that anyone can be an official regardless of their background. If that were the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
The Emperor said, "You can say Rong Huan's mother was unfaithful to her husband, but you can't say her family background is not clean. There are still people from the Zhu family serving in the court."
"As for his father, although he was not a man of integrity, he was not corrupt when he was an official at court, nor did he do anything that would offend the court or the people. The former Minister of Rites was involved in internal affairs and was unworthy of the position, but he was also deceived before."
"They each suffered the punishment and retribution they deserved, but Rong Huan knew nothing. He was just an ignorant person, and ignorance is not a crime. He is still a pitiful victim. Why can't he serve as an official in the court with such status?"
"His ancestors, his father, didn't commit murder or arson."
The old man was so angry at the emperor's words that his beard trembled: "But he killed his mother and used witchcraft to kill so many innocent women!"
"So her mother is dead too! Someone will ask her to pay back the debt she has to pay."
Old man: "ヽ（≧□≦）ノ"
“Your Majesty…”
While the emperor and the old man were arguing about Rong Huan, a palace maid walked silently behind Princess Yahe, suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Princess Yahe in the back.
Everyone was paying attention to the dispute between the emperor and the old man, but no one paid attention to Princess Yahe.
Rong Huan suddenly sensed something and glanced towards Princess Yahe. Seeing this, he immediately threw the gift in his hand, which he had not yet had time to give to Wei Fu...
