Chang Suining followed the palace servants into the Ganlu Palace, and first saw Mingluo wearing the robe of a female official.

"Come with me." Mingluo walked in front without looking at Chang Suining.

Chang Suining followed her into the inner hall.

There is an ice basin in the hall, and there are maids holding curtains and fans to provide cooling. After entering for a while, people can relieve most of the scorching heat.

Chang Suining saw the saint sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and with gray hair in a bun.

Just like she did countless times in this palace a long time ago, she saluted the other party, but changed her title——

"My dearest daughter, Chang Sui Ning has met your Majesty."

The voice of the Holy Emperor came from above, and it was quite casual: "Get on your feet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chang Suining stood up and stood quietly with his eyes lowered.

"Although I have seen her several times in Dayun Temple before, I have never had time to take a closer look at Mrs. Chang's wife." The Holy Book Emperor looked at the girl and said: "Raise your head and let me have a good look -"

The girl raised her head and looked at her. Her fair face was slightly red from the sun, her broken hair on her forehead had traces of sweat, and her eyes were extremely bright as if they had been washed with spring water.

But the expression on that face was calm and calm, without any emotion.

The Holy Emperor, who was sitting condescendingly on the dragon chair, looked into those eyes and asked slowly: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"The saint is fair, but the servant girl has no fault." The girl's tone was also very calm: "Therefore, the servant girl only respects the saint and does not fear him."

"What a good person who only respects and is not afraid." There seemed to be a faint smile in the eyes of the Holy Book Emperor, "You are good that I am fair and you have no fault - it seems that you guessed that I summoned you to the palace for the purpose of ascending the tower.

Already."

Chang Sui Ning refused to deny: "Yes."

The Holy Emperor did not rush to talk about climbing the Tailou. Instead, he looked at Chang Sui Ning, nodded and said: "She deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the capital... It is rare to have such talent and appearance."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

The Holy Emperor saw her unfazed reaction and said, "I heard that you were saved by the former Crown Prince Li Xiao when you were a child."

"Your Majesty, that's right."

"Axiao was born by me..." The empress' voice seemed to be softer: "So, you and I are somewhat destined."

Chang Sui Ning lowered his eyes again: "My daughter was saved by His Highness the former Crown Prince by chance. She regards His Highness the former Crown Prince as a benefactor and does not dare to risk separation."

Mingluo raised his eyes and looked at her.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and it is a great honor for a saint to say the word "fate". However, if the other party takes the opportunity to respond and responds with eager flattery, it is impossible for the saint to think highly of him.

This Chang Sui Ning knows some ways of advancing and retreating.

In the past, she was deceived by the other party's appearance of being aggressive with others, but now she gradually realizes that the other party may have very deep thoughts.

"You are a kind-hearted person." Shengzhu Emperor praised him. He didn't say more about the so-called fate and just said: "Sit down and answer."

Changsui Ning Yiyan retreated to the drum stool aside and sat down.

But I heard Emperor Shengsi ask: "How do you think we should handle Madam Jie's matter?"

Chang Sui Ning calmly said: "Mrs. Xie is a first-grade imperial concubine conferred by the saint. It is really not her turn to deal with such nonsense."

When this saint asked this question, there was no way he really wanted to leave it to her to handle.

Listening to what he said, if you only listened to the surface, you might turn around and not even know how he died.

"Her face has been completely lost, her prestige has been completely destroyed, and it is irreversible. In fact, this is a big punishment for her." The Holy Book Emperor said with unclear meaning.

Chang Suining: "But I think it doesn't count."

The Holy Book Emperor looked at her.

"My daughter believes that his loss of face and prestige is the inevitable result after his sinister intentions are exposed. At most, it can only be said to be an acceptance of the truth rather than a punishment."

The Holy Emperor looked at her: "According to this, you think it is not enough?"

"It's not enough." Chang Sui Ning said: "But it's not my daughter who thinks it's not enough, it's your Majesty who thinks it's not enough."

The corners of the Holy Book Emperor's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The young girl continued to say: "Everyone knows this now. The saint is wise, and his wisdom should not be damaged by Jie's fault."

The waiter who was hanging his head on the side changed his face slightly after hearing this - this lady of the Chang family...how could she speak so boldly? At first glance, it sounded like she was using this to blackmail the saint into dealing with Mrs. Jie!

Chang Sui Ning did not realize that what he said was bold.

Whether it is a threat or not, the Holy Emperor will not be able to tell.

This topic was brought up by the other party, who clearly wanted to hear her answer. If the other party was someone who would be unhappy with her mere words, then someone else would be sitting on the throne at this time.

After all, these questions and answers are just testing her.

But what happens after the temptation?

She still doesn't know what Ming Hou's intention is.

Ordinarily, since the other party's intentions are unclear, she should probably act stupid and not show any sharpness in her words, which is a wise move - but everything she did has been clearly known to the other party. Is she stupid?

Silly, how could the other party not distinguish it in his heart?

Pretending to be stupid at this time will only arouse suspicion, and then bring more and more endless temptations and unnecessary unknown troubles.

Therefore, she can make herself a little smarter and bolder, at least in line with her past style.

After watching for a moment, the Holy Emperor nodded slightly: "You are right, I need to give an explanation to the world, and this justice cannot only stop at revealing the truth."

The Xie family incident has caused too much trouble.

Jie Shi wanted to use that much-anticipated poetry show to destroy the girl's reputation, but in the end the influence of the public attention was like a knife, falling on Jie Shi himself.

The Holy Emperor solemnly said: "Let people tell people about my decree - Xie's behavior has been out of order, and he can no longer set an example for women. He will be removed from his royal status as a first-grade imperial concubine. In memory of his righteous deeds in the past, he will be temporarily demoted to a fifth-grade county prince."

, let them meditate on their own mistakes and see the consequences."

"I obey the order." The eunuch serving the case at the side responded and withdrew.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

Mingluo looked at Chang Sui Ning.

After a moment, I finally heard the girl say: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You don't need to thank me." The Holy Book Emperor said: "As you just said, I need to do this."

Mingluo's heart trembled slightly.

What the aunt said was not to blame the other party for inappropriate words and deeds, but it was obviously the emperor's "frankness" out of admiration...

Because you appreciate the other person, you no longer need those meaningless superficial words of kindness.

This answer suddenly gave Mingluo a bad feeling.

And the next moment, this premonition was confirmed.

"As expected, I grew up with Chang Kuo and the others. After all, I am different from the ordinary boudoir daughter's family... I have more knowledge and courage, and I also have some rare talents. I like smart girls. If I had met them earlier,

When I get to you, I may be like Gu'an, who will take you into the palace and educate you."

Chang Suining didn't answer the call for a while.

Bring him up in the palace and educate him?

Fortunately, Ah Li's previous temperament was not eye-catching.

"But it's not too late now." The Holy Emperor looked at the girl sitting on the drum stool and asked: "I am missing a female officer to serve the pen and ink next to my imperial desk. Are you willing to come to the palace?"

Mingluo was slightly shocked.

Waitress?

If you want to become a female official, you need to go through extremely strict selection, let alone such an important position as a female official... But your aunt casually gave it to Chang Sui Ning?

Only then did Chang Suining understand.

She then asked why there were those words of temptation just now, it turned out to be for this reason.

The emperor is not someone who needs a little girl to relieve his boredom in his spare time. There are only two possibilities for the emperor to call her into the palace and waste his time on her. One is that he thinks she is harmful, and the other is that he thinks she is useful.

Now it seems to be the latter.

Harmful things need to be removed as soon as possible, and useful things should be put to good use. This is true for all kings.

"You can think about it carefully." Seeing that she was silent for a while, the Holy Emperor said: "Maybe after leaving the palace, I can discuss it with Chang Qing and make a decision before it is too late."

This little girl is brave and smart.

What's even more rare is that although he is young, he has already become famous among scribes after climbing the Tai Tower.

If she encounters an available woman, she is very willing to use it. It is easier to select female officials. As long as the number is within the rules, the officials of the previous dynasty have no right to interfere.

Women are in a very difficult situation. Although it is more difficult for a woman to show off as an official, it is also difficult to form cliques with officials. Therefore, as an emperor, as long as you have a little trust, they are often more loyal than the officials of the previous dynasty, and they will not easily

A heart of betrayal arises.
