Chapter 486 I think you are still very brave
The two of them slept soundly. The next day, Fu Hai came to call them, but there was no response from inside the room.
Fu Hai then shouted outside, "Today is a day off, all ministers please go back."
There is a huge crowd of people standing at the door, and they don't want to go back.
"If you ask me, the emperor should have arrested all those kneeling girls yesterday." The speaker was the Minister of Rites. He no longer had the confidence he had yesterday and seemed a little unconvinced.
"That's right. The harem is small, and the issue of offspring is related to the country." The speaker was the prime minister. He had not slept for a whole night. He couldn't understand why Yun Zhao suddenly appeared with the head of the frontier leader, which messed up all his plans. His daughter had already cried her heart out at home. Now that he entered the palace, he must ask the emperor for an explanation.
Everyone uses the excuse of the country and the people as an excuse, but their actions are all driven by their own selfish motives.
Someone whispered at this moment, "Besides, isn't the Queen infertile? Doesn't that require the help of other concubines? The Queen must not be jealous, or she will cut off the Xie family's royal bloodline."
When Deputy General Gao heard this, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead stood up.
He immediately went over to argue, "This is the Emperor's own business. Is it appropriate for you to discuss it at the door? Besides, today is the Emperor and the Empress' wedding. If you want to speak, you should wait a moment. Can't you wait even a moment?"
Deputy General Gao's chest heaved with anger.
Fu Hai also rolled his eyes.
"Deputy General Gao, you're wrong. It's not that we won't wait, it's that the Xie family's kingdom can't wait. Besides, the concubine's death is a matter of national celebration. Why are you talking about it as if it's a bad thing?"
"Yes, and there are indeed rumors that the queen is infertile. Do you dare to deny this?"
Deputy General Gao immediately softened his tone.
Fu Hai snorted, "Do you understand women's childbirth?"
The Prime Minister said, "Of course I don't understand, but there are rumors outside."
"You dare to bring up rumors? Yun Zhao is the queen now, not someone you can casually interfere with!"
Everyone pursed their lips and placed their hands in front of them, "Anyway, let's wait for the emperor to wake up."
Fu Hai and Deputy General Gao blocked the door.
Later, Deputy General Gao really couldn't hold on any longer. He followed Xie Jingmo all the way back and forth between the capital and the border, and he hadn't slept for several days. Now he could no longer open his eyes.
He transferred people directly from the Ministry of War.
Those who came were none other than brothers who had fought together at the frontier. Perhaps many people in this palace were afraid of the power of these people in the court.
But these people are not afraid.
He felt at ease only after leaving Yun Zhao and Xie Jingmo's safety to them.
These people came quickly and lined up in a row at the door. Deputy Gao found a big tree in the yard and leaned against it to sleep.
Yun Zhao woke up earlier than Xie Jingmo.
She had come all the way here, eating and drinking well.
As for Xie Jingmo, Yun Zhao felt his pulse and found that he had not slept for at least five days.
She heard the sound outside and got up quietly.
Tidy up a bit.
Yun Zhao opened the door and walked out.
She saw the civil officials in the court, and also saw a dozen girls not far behind them.
Yun Zhao smiled slightly.
The day after the wedding, she and Xie Jingmo were so tired that they didn't even have time to enter the bridal chamber, but they were already at the door of the room.
Yun Zhao gave Qi Cai a look and said, "Go and prepare something delicious. When Xie Jingmo wakes up later, serve it to him."
Qicai nodded and went to the small kitchen.
Yun Zhao then walked out and heard the Prime Minister outside saying, "The Emperor will eventually take a concubine. This cannot be changed. Eunuch Fu Hai, you should worry less."
Fu Hai's face turned red with anger. But the other party was of noble status, so he kept his face red and stamped his feet in anger.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you are so majestic." Yun Zhao said lightly.
Fu Hai immediately turned his head, his eyes lit up, and he walked behind Yun Zhao.
"If you don't know, you would think that you have the final say in the emperor's bedroom." Yun Zhao said lightly.
The Prime Minister immediately said, "I dare not."
Seeing how obedient the old man was, Fu Hai couldn't help but straighten his back and feel proud.
"Don't you dare?" Yun Zhao laughed, and glanced at the girls outside. Seeing Wang Lin, she said meaningfully, "I think you are still very brave."
The Prime Minister immediately knelt down.
Fu Hai brought a chair to Yun Zhao and said, "In the countryside, it's absolutely unreasonable for a new bride's mother-in-law to send a concubine home on the first day. Now that I think about it, Prime Minister, your awareness is even worse than that of a country mother-in-law."
When the Prime Minister heard this, he immediately fell to the ground and said, "I dare not."
Yun Zhao was concerned that Xie Jingmo was sleeping inside, so he lowered his voice and said, "Since you don't dare, then take the people back. Whose girls are those outside? They are all very beautiful. Since you are so concerned about the emperor's health, let them stay."
"All..." Everyone was surprised, thinking Yun Zhao was magnanimous. They exclaimed, "All, stay?"
Yun Zhao nodded. "Yes, aren't they concerned about the emperor's health? Then let's call them all in." After the girls entered, Yun Zhao said, "Think carefully before you come in. I have a bad temper. If anyone breaks my taboo, didn't you see what happened to the man with the bag at the city gate today?"
Because of this sentence.
Someone's footsteps stopped in the air and he slowly retreated.
Of course there are also those who are not afraid of death.
For example, Li Wan and Wang Lin, and a few others whose families have higher status.
Kneeling in front of Yun Zhao, she respectfully called out, "Empress Dowager."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't eat people. Tell me your names."
Everyone lowered their heads and answered.
They all looked kind.
Yun Zhao looked at one of them and asked, "Your name is Li Wan?"
Li Wan lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Yun Zhao smiled and leaned back onto the armchair. "I remember you. You were beautiful and it seemed like you were well-educated at home. I heard that you were the first to kneel down at the city gate that day. You even brought Jing Mo bird's nest later."
Li Wan shuddered when she heard that. "I don't mean anything else. I just feel... I feel..."
"No problem, you are very smart and know how to be considerate of the emperor. You are much better than those who have high positions in their families but are not considerate. I like you very much."
Li Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Thank you, Queen!"
"Alright, I'm tired too, and my health isn't as good as yours. Since you're going to stay and take care of the Emperor, go to the kitchenette and make some food for him when he wakes up."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he stood up.
Those few bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Yes."
Fu Hai accompanied Yun Zhao to the study. On the way, he turned his head and saw out of the corner of his eye that the ministers who were originally looking out the door had left contentedly.
"Master, why didn't you teach them a lesson? Instead, you let them in. Li Wan is obviously very proactive, and you still praise her?"
Yun Zhao picked up a random book from the shelf and said calmly, "Her family isn't the highest-ranking. How can the others accept my praise? Put them all in a small kitchen, and they'll start making a scene. Then we can kick them all out."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "You are really smart."
"Since I'm the queen now, I don't need to bother Xie Jingmo with the affairs of the harem. It's only been a short time since he became the emperor, and you've become so thin." Yun Zhao slept on Xie Jingmo's chest yesterday. Although he was still bulging, he was not as thin as before.
She still wants to live a good life.
How could she let those old men ruin her business?
