A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 84
Jiuzhu soon discovered that Lu Zhaoyi was intentionally pleasing her, but her pleasing attitude was not annoying.
This feeling is like Princess Ann, warm and just right, pleasant and comfortable.
What she didn’t expect was that when she was approaching Mingyue Palace, she met the birth mother Xu Fei who was pregnant with the king.
Concubine Xu was pale and weak. She was supported by two court ladies as she walked.
“Why doesn’t the empress sit on foot?” Lu Zhaoyi said quickly: “How can your body survive when you come here like this?”
“Come here to greet the empress. If she sits for a while, doesn’t she appear to be insincere?” Xu Fei covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed slightly, and bowed her knees to salute Jiuzhu slightly.
Jiuzhu replied: “Emperor Xu, the queen mother is tolerant and generous, you are not good, even if you come on foot, the mother will not blame. If you walk halfway and fainted due to illness, not only the father and the queen will I’m worried about you. If you let the unknowing see you, you still suspect that the mother and queen treat your concubine harshly.”
Concubine Xu’s cough stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing: “The princess is right, it’s the concubine who didn’t think about it.”
Lu Zhaoyi and Wei Zhaoyi didn’t speak, because they remembered the terrible memories that Ming Jiuzhu taught them to give heavenly fragrance when they copied the scriptures.
The princess Chen is a sharp blade next to the empress, and it hurts and hurts when she pokes people.
They were already afraid of her before she married Wang Chen.
The only blame is that when they copied the scriptures, the queen pityed her for her weakness and didn’t ask her to come with her, so she didn’t know enough about the princess’s speaking style.
Looking at the stiff smile on Concubine Xu’s face, Lu Zhaoyi silently looked away. The days in the palace are still long, and Concubine Xu will slowly understand.
“Sister Vernal Equinox, please go to the mother’s harem and ask Aunt Xiangjuan to arrange a walk, and carry Concubine Xu to the Mingyue Palace.” Jiuzhu really felt sorry for such a delicate beauty.
“No, no need…”
“I want.” Jiuzhu held on to Concubine Xu: “The empress is weak and should not be tired. You don’t have to worry that the queen will scold you. She is a gentle temper and will not be dissatisfied with you because of these things.”
Concubine Xu: “…”
Of course she knew that Su Meidai wouldn’t mind this with her, but she finally got here at Zhaoxiang Palace, but Mingyue Palace arranged to pick her up at short distances. Isn’t the road ahead for her gone for nothing?
“The empress does not have to be moved too much, a good person like the queen mother.” Seeing that Concubine Xu was so touched, Jiuzhu smiled and said: “Don’t worry, when you go back, the queen will arrange to send you off.”
“Yes, Empress Xu.” Lu Zhaoyi knew that the time to please Princess Chen had arrived, and she quickly opened her mouth to help Jiuzhu speak to the Empress Empress: “The Empress Empress is always kind and gentle. If you insist on walking to the Mingyue Palace, the Empress Empress should have it. How distressed.”
Concubine Xu looked at the Dali **** who was rushing from a distance, knowing that there was no point in resigning at this moment, and smiled on her ill-fated face: “Thank you Empress Empress, and Princess Chen for your compassion.”
Jiuzhu watched the smile on Concubine Xu’s face, feeling inwardly that the sick beauty smiled so beautifully.
I extended a helping hand for the sick beauty, and today is another day of doing good deeds and having a happy heart.
“Hahahaha.” Empress Su sat on the phoenix seat, stroking her belly and laughing: “You said that Xu Fei’s kind of strong and sick beauty, met Jiuzhu, will she be so angry and sick?”
“Niang Niang.” Xiangjian helped her arrange her makeup: “The princess said, it was you who felt sorry for Concubine Xu, so you gave in to pick it up.”
“Yes, yes, my palace loves her.” Empress Su almost burst into tears: “When Concubine Xu arrives, I must take a good look at her face, is it more rosy than usual.”
Facts have proved that Concubine Xu’s complexion is indeed rosy, but she is flushed with anger.
Because there was a delay in waiting for the Mingyue Palace, when they arrived, the other concubines had already arrived. When they saw her sitting alone on the walker, her eyes were more sour than the fruit on the lemon tree.
What can Concubine Xu say? Could she be in front of everyone and say that Concubine Chen forced her to sit?
I didn’t expect that Ming Jiuzhu was already well versed in **** at a young age!
Jiuzhu noticed that Concubine Xu was secretly looking at herself and nodded at her with a smile.
Knowing that the other person must be thanking oneself, but these are trivial things that are easy to do, not worth mentioning.
In the main hall of the Taiyang Palace, several officials from the six ministries were blushing for the pardon.
Some think that taxes should be reduced or exempted, and some think that the world should be amnesty. However, they were quarreling very happily on the surface, and what they wanted most was the imperial court to open Enke.
Everyone here, who has few children, grandchildren, nephews, and nephews who are studying, if you open an Enke, you will have one more opportunity among the younger generations.
But because of this, they can’t easily open this mouth.
Those who quarrel with each other understand in their hearts, and those who haven’t spoken also understand. Everyone is looking forward to someone starting this head, and they don’t want to start it with themselves.
“Your Majesty, the minister thinks that all the adults are right.” Ming Jingzhou stood up: “but the minister thinks there is another way to forgive grace.”
I’m coming.
The officials who were arguing stopped one after another. They looked at Ming Jingzhou with encouraging eyes and said, hurry up.
“Oh?” Emperor Longfeng raised his head to look at Ming Jingzhou: “What good idea does Caritas have?”
The hall was so quiet that needles fell.
“We are courageous ministers, please open Enke, so that you can recruit the wise men from all over the world.” Ming Jingzhou saluted: “There are many good ministers, and it is a good thing for us to achieve success.”
Emperor Longfeng frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with the proposal. He turned to look at other officials: “What do you think of Aiqing?”
He asked about the officials who quarreled just now.
“Your Majesty, the Weichen thought…Master Ming made a lot of sense.”
“Weichen seconded.”
“Didn’t you just want to reduce taxes or amnesty light prisoners?” Emperor Longfeng shook his head: “Although Caritas is kind, it is now in February. Let the students rush to the capital to participate in Enke from all directions. The words are too exhausting, and I don’t think it is appropriate to do so.”
Ministers: “…”
What’s wrong?
If the imperial court can really open up Enke, students from all over the world will climb to the capital even if they climb.
Han Chuang has been studying for decades, isn’t he just thinking about the goods and the emperor’s house?
What is exhaustion? After studying hard for so many years, any scholar will dislike one more Enke.
“Your Majesty, the Weichen thought…”
“No need to say any more.” Emperor Longfeng interrupted Ming Jingzhou: “Caritas Ching will think about other ideas.”
The six officials present were cold, and it seemed that there was no hope for Ganke.
“Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness Chen Wang, please see me.”
Emperor Longfeng glanced at several ministers: “Xuan.”
“The sons and ministers pay homage to the emperor father.” Wang Chen walked into the main hall wearing a prince’s robe. He glanced at the people in the hall: “Are all the sirs?”
The six officials thought of the memorials that were suspected of being written by His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and felt very complicated.
“The lower official has seen the prince.”
“You adults are polite.” Wang Chen saw that the atmosphere in the hall was a little dignified: “Father and the adults are discussing what is going on?”
“You came just right, and I was discussing mercy with a few adults. You are the blood of me and the queen, how do you think you should be merciful?” Emperor Longfeng took a sip of tea, and the light from the corner of his eyes swept the expressions of the ministers. Finally Smiling and looking at his son.
“Since it is an enlightenment, we must choose the one that is most beneficial to our Dacheng.” Wang Chen thought for a while: “My father thought, how about adding Enke?”
The officials breathed a sigh of relief, and silently applauded King Chen in their hearts.
Your Royal Highness, take out your usual stubbornness, and you must stick to this suggestion to the end. The hope of all scholars in the world rests on you.
“Add Enke?” Emperor Longfeng frowned slightly: “Why did you choose this method? I remember, you didn’t like reading when you were a kid.”
“Father, it is because the children know how hard it is to study, that you understand how difficult it is for the adults who pass the examinations.” Chen Wang handed his hands to the imperial examinations: “In previous years, when the imperial examinations were released, the children saw those hard-core scholars with their own eyes. Either weeping sadly, or weeping with joy, the mood is very complicated.”
All the civil servants: So his Royal Highness Chen thinks that scholars are hard-hearted?
Although Wang Ye Chen was arrogant and domineering, his vision was actually pretty good.
“If you can open an extra Enke, it will give them one more opportunity to show their talents.” Chen Wang said: “Anyway, let the children study hard like them, the children can not do it.”
All the civil servants suddenly felt that Wang Chen’s honest appearance was also pleasing to the eye.
“I thought you didn’t like reading, because you hate literati. It turns out that it is hard to study.” Emperor Longfeng said angrily: “Look at the adults around you, they are not the people who have been studying hard for several years and are full of economics. What is your face? In front of them, saying that studying is hard and tired of studying?!”
“Your majesty calm down!” A minister stood up and said: “His Royal Highness is young and ignorant, but he has an upright mind and dare to speak up. Even if there are some shortcomings, his flaws can’t hide his weakness.”
This adult had even impeached the king of Chen half a year ago for spending a hundred dollars to buy crickets for cockfighting, and now he has become a flawed one.
“Your Majesty, although His Majesty doesn’t like to read, but the minister sees his words and deeds, he is stronger than others in every way, please don’t be harsh.”
“Your Majesty, His Majesty has donated thousands of taels of silver to Hongwen Academy. This kind of innocent heart makes the ministers moved.”
“Fine.” Under the persuasion of many ministers, Emperor Longfeng reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart: “For the sake of your sires, I will forgive you once today.”
“Father, do you mean that you agreed to increase Enke?”
“What does Kai Enke have to do with me for not forgiving you?” Emperor Longfeng laughed angrily at him: “You have a temperament that doesn’t even read books well, so you are embarrassed to mention Enke.”
“I want to agree.” Emperor Longfeng loved his son in the end and couldn’t bear to refuse him directly, but made a very excessive request: “It’s okay to ask me to agree to add Enke, as long as you finish “Nong Sang Ji” within five days. I will follow what you said.”
This is a book on agriculture, the whole book is as thick as a brick.
All the civil servants were desperate. His Majesty clearly did not want to agree to this matter, so he put forward such harsh conditions to the King Chen.
“Okay.” Chen Wang Zuoyi: “With the testimony of several ministers, the children will be able to memorize the entire “Nong Sang Ji” five days later.”
The civil servants touched their sleeves and began to think seriously about what good shorthand way they could provide to King Chen.
“Finally, retreat.” Emperor Longfeng smiled casually: “Five days later, I will call a few adults and let you face them.”
Several officials from the Six Departments walked out of the Taiyang Palace with Chen Wang. At this moment, the officials looked at Chen Wang, not at a prince, but at the hope of all the young students in the entire Dacheng dynasty.
“Aunt Xiangjuan.” Jiuzhu saw several officials surrounding His Royal Highness from a distance, her eyes were extremely hot, and she was worried: “What do these adults want to do to His Royal Highness?”
She lifted the skirt and hurried to Wang Chen.
When I ran near, I heard one of the adults say: “His Royal Highness, the old minister has a brain-reinforcing prescription, which was uploaded by the ancestors. It is very useful. Would you like to try?”
