"Yes!" It would be better to leave Nangong Chifei alone to talk, and it would be more reasonable to leave.
In the imperial study room, before Shen Yanshu could wait for a while, Nangong Chifei had already arrived.
The courtesy of "Seeing the Emperor" is a must
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Chu Aiqing has something important to do with me?" Nangong Chifei said straight to the point.
"Back to the Emperor, I have something to ask of you, and I would like your permission."
"Oh, tell me." He really didn't know what else Shen Yanshu would ask of him. In his eyes, he almost didn't believe that there was anything else that could stump Shen Yanshu.
"Your Majesty, my mother passed away when I was young, and my father has always raised me up. However, my father passed away when I was ten years old. The date of his death is the tenth of next month, and I am at this time every year. I won’t speak for three months to pay homage to my father’s deceased soul.” Shen Yanshu recited the lies she had compiled earlier word for word, but she didn’t know if they could be fooled. In fact, she herself felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched.
"Oh, so!" Nangong Chifei raised his eyebrows, very interested in what Shen Yanshu said next.
"So I want the emperor to allow me to stop going to the morning court from next month. I will serve the emperor in the cabinet. When three months are over, I will go to the morning court again." Shen Yanshu pinched his tongue when he said these words. She was sweating because she knew that openly negotiating terms with the emperor would undoubtedly dig a dead end for herself, but at present, this was the only way she could go.
Nangong Chifei looked at Shen Yanshu with great interest. Her thoughts were really special. Why did she keep a "dumb spirit" for her father for three months every year?
"Why did you stay silent for three months for your father? If the reason is good, I might agree to it."
Shen Yanshu sighed and said helplessly: "Because my father is mute!"
Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have cursed you like this. Please God, for the sake of my inability to control myself, please don't mind my words.
Nangong Chifei was stunned. He never expected such a result.
"Okay! I can promise you, but you must also promise me something in exchange."
Shen Yanshu was a little surprised. She never expected that Nangong Chifei didn't make things difficult for her and agreed so simply.
"Your Majesty, please speak"
"You don't have to go to the cabinet. You can stay in my imperial study and help me solve my problems. Will you agree?" In fact, Nangong Chifei could have directly ordered Shen Yanshu, but he just wanted to exchange this with Shen Yanshu. As for why , he can’t figure it out himself
"As long as the emperor doesn't mind that I always write to answer the emperor's words when the time comes, which is a waste of time for the emperor, I have no objection." As long as she is not allowed to speak, she will agree to anything.
But she was still wondering why Nangong Chifei didn't order her directly, but negotiated terms with her. The emperor's idea was indeed strange, but after all, she had taken advantage, so of course she wouldn't care too much about it.
Even if she didn't take advantage, she couldn't argue with him. Isn't arguing with the emperor seeking death?
"Okay, that's it." A hearty smile appeared on Nangong Chifei's face, and then he said: "Since you took the initiative to come to me to discuss this matter, you should have already found an excuse to block all the people. ?" If a decree is casually issued to prevent Shen Yanshu from going to court, I am afraid it will cause an uproar in the court, and Shen Yanshu will not fail to care about this.
