When I returned home in the evening, everyone in the house was already eating the melon that the military department had in the afternoon.
Not only were the servants muttering in corners where they thought no one would notice, but her grandparents were also talking about it.
As soon as she came in, Mrs. Tian immediately pulled her and asked, "Bao, did the old lady from the Wang family really go to the palace gate to make trouble this afternoon?"
The old man praying on the side also had a "Say it quickly, say it" look on his face, but he insisted on putting on a serious face and said awkwardly: "I was having tea with some old men today, and I heard about this.
They all know that you are serving in the Ministry of War, so why don’t they ask me about it?”
Qi Bao'er suppressed her laughter and sat down, without further appealing to the two elders' appetites, and said: "There is such a thing. Mrs. Wang brought all the female relatives from her residence to surround the palace gate. She said that there was a trouble.
There is no trouble, and they are not stupid enough to cause trouble at the gate of the palace."
The palace gate through which the Six Ministries enter and exit is the loosest and least rigorous gate in the entire palace. After all, the Six Ministries personnel have to come in and out every day, and people who go to the Six Ministries for business can also come and go at will as long as they get permission from the Six Ministries.
The area where the Six Departments are located is actually separated from the palace where the emperor and concubines live. There are several palace walls in the middle. To enter the palace from them, except for the way they usually go up and down the court.
Outside that alleyway, you can exit the palace and turn to other palace gates to enter.
But, after all, it belongs to the territory within the palace and is the emperor's territory. What's the difference between going there to cause trouble and directly provoking the emperor?
Anyone with a little knowledge knows this.
"Wang Shangshu fainted. I don't know who told the Wang family that it was our Minister of War who knocked Wang Shangshu unconscious. The old lady of the Wang family brought all the female relatives to the palace gate to ask for an explanation.
"
It's quite strange that this thing can happen, but if you think about it carefully, it seems natural.
how to say?
The relationship between the two tribes is too tense, and if anything concerns the two tribes, they would like to step on each other to the ground and rub each other hard.
This time the matter still involves two respective ministers, so can it make the trouble bigger?!
At this point, Wang Shangshu is still unconscious, and the Shangshu people have never come forward; there is no evidence from the parties involved, and the Ministry of Revenue is already screaming everywhere that it was Shangshu who beat Wang Shangshu.
On the other end, Mrs. Wang and the others went to the palace gate to have sex. They didn't seem too outrageous. They just said that they wanted to see the Minister and find out the truth about Wang Shangshu's fainting. But as soon as they turned around, the Ministry of War shouted everywhere that the Wang family was...
Those blocking the palace gate are looking for trouble.
Of course, both sides have their own thoughts, and the real purpose is naturally not what they show on the surface.
However, Qi Baoer estimated that neither party expected that things would turn out like this, and there would be no way to end it unless one party dealt with it.
Old man Qi and old lady Tian were so shocked that their eyes widened, "Really,,, really?"
They thought the rumors outside were exaggerated.
The palace, where is that place?!
In the eyes of Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Tian, the palace is an elusive and supreme place. It is obvious that their Princess Princess Mansion is very close to the palace, but they usually do not dare to go there.
I feel like if I get closer to my chest, the pressure will be uncomfortable and my legs will still feel weak.
I never thought that someone would be so bold as to make trouble at the gate of the palace.
Just, admire!
Qi Baoer saw the meaning in the old couple's eyes, smiled and said, "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as the rumors said, but there is no doubt that Mrs. Wang has ill intentions towards the Shang family.
If she really just wants to ask for an explanation, she can go to the Shang Mansion, and go to the palace gate, which will be shown to the six departments and everyone in the capital."
As for Mrs. Shang's statement that Mrs. Wang wanted to extort some money, Qi Baoer reserved her opinion.
But Mrs. Wang's sinister intention of wanting to embarrass Shang Chengfeng and even block Shang Chengfeng's official career can be seen by anyone who is not a stupid official.
Old man Qi was a little worried, "Is Master Shang going to be okay?"
These days, Mrs. Shang occasionally sends people to deliver some food to the Princess's mansion. If it were anyone else, she might think that Mrs. Shang's behavior of delivering food is not acceptable, but for Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Tian, they like it very much.
It's more of a daily routine and comfortable.
Naturally, he had a good impression of Madam Shang, whom he had never met before, so he also had a bit of goodwill toward Shang Chengfeng, not to mention that Shang Shangshu was Qi Baoer's top priority.
Qi Bao'er shook his head slightly and gave a reassuring look, "If this happened to others, it wouldn't be a good thing, and it would be affected to some extent.
But Master Shang..., this time may be a blessing in disguise."
As for the details, Qi Bao'er couldn't tell. Old Qi and the others didn't ask any more questions. Knowing that Shangshu would be fine, they felt relieved.
Mrs. Tian ordered people to prepare the meal, and Old Man Qi and Qi Baoer talked about other things.
Qi Bao'er would try her best to go back home to have dinner with Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Tian. If something happened and she couldn't return home in time, she would also send someone back to let her know. Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Tian were also used to waiting for her at night after she returned home.
Have another meal.
Even though the status of Lao Qi's family is now very different, they still don't have the rule of not telling what they eat. Either old man Qi will talk about who he saw during the day, or old lady Tian will talk about the melon she ate.
Qi Baoer doesn't talk much, but he always listens silently, and occasionally responds with a compliment or two, not bothering the two of them at all.
While talking, Mrs. Tian suddenly thought of her eldest grandson, "Da Lang said that he would be able to come back in two or three months at most. I don't know if he can come back in time to celebrate the New Year?"
At this moment, Da Lang, who was lying in the mud, almost fainted from crying in the latrine.
The four words "suddenly occurred to me" are particularly soulful.
Qi Bao'er thought of the official documents he had seen a few days ago and said, "I should be able to come back in time. For this year's New Year's Palace banquet, many affiliated parliaments will come to Beijing to present gifts. The Vice Minister must be back before then."
I guess I may have to go back soon.
The Wuyueguan incident had a great impact on the Ministry of Household Affairs, especially Wang Shangshu. According to her estimation, it could range from being demoted to being transferred to another company.
Lu Qinghe had left the capital on official business and avoided it, but as the minister of the household department, it would be stupid not to rush back when such a big event happened in the household department.
Thinking of this, Qi Baoer's expression suddenly froze.
Wang Shangshu is from the emperor, and Lu Qinghe is the Minister of Household Affairs who was transferred back after the prince returned to Beijing...
She seemed to know something terrible.
Then a dark light passed through his eyes.
Old man Qi could feel his granddaughter's emotions best. Although the expression on Qi Baoer's face had not changed at all, he knew that his granddaughter was not in a good mood at the moment, and could even be said to be angry.
"What's wrong, my dear?"
He scooped a spoonful of green onion tofu and said, "Try this, the tofu that Zhuoyu girl brought back. They set up a tofu workshop in Zhuangzi."
When you get home, stop thinking about the unhappy things outside.
