On the way back to the palace, Long Chuxia suddenly remembered Xie Laosi who was in prison with her. Although she knew that he had been released, she still wanted to see him, so she asked: "Um, the case of Xie Laosi is over." Is it done yet?”
King Qingping knew which case she was talking about, so he said: "The case is closed. The Sun family paid him a sum of money, and Mr. Sun was also sentenced to exile. As for Mr. Sun, he is no longer Mr. Sun!"
"I want to go see Mr. Xie!" Long Chuxia found that she preferred to get along with these bosses and be leisurely. For her, the palace was now a prison. If Feng Lingxiao was not there, she would really I wish I could leave right away
"Don't go. If you want to see him, come out of the palace another day!" King Qingping said.
Long Chuxia leaned on the carriage boredly, opened the curtain by the window and looked at the bustling street outside, sighing: "The palace is as silent as dead water, I really don't want to go back!"
"Didn't you love silence the most in Yingju Garden before? Why are you tired of coming to the palace now?" King Qingping teased.
Long Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, "What's the matter? No one targeted me before. I could live however I wanted and leave the palace whenever I wanted. But now I don't have the freedom. I feel nervous as soon as I return to the palace. Don't As for the other concubines, just one Qingping and one Hua Guifei are enough to trouble me."
Although she didn't attack blatantly, she made some noise every once in a while, which was enough to bother her. The Queen Mother didn't know what to think about it, so maybe she would seriously object.
"You are not worried about them, you are worried that you don't know how to face Ling, right? You can't bear that he has such a woman, and you can't bear to leave him. Now you are in a state of confusion and hesitation. "King Qingping saw through her thoughts at a glance and exposed her
"You know me so well? Don't you often observe me secretly? Are you in love with me?" Long Chuxia rolled her eyes at him, and her tone was just joking.
King Qingping's heart skipped a beat, but he said without any shame: "Okay, don't be narcissistic. Do you think you are so powerful that every man will fall in love with you? How can you hide your thoughts? My king? My powers of observation are first-class, otherwise how can I control the entire Shenchamen?"
"When you belittle others, you don't forget to praise yourself at the same time. You are really shameless!" Long Chuxia coughed twice and covered his chest with his hands, looking like he was in pain.
King Qingping asked quickly: "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, it's just that the cough affected the blood!" Long Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly
King Qingping's face turned into sauerkraut, and he said worriedly: "How can you do this? Otherwise, you should ask Brother Zhuge to take a look!"
"It's okay if you say it's okay. When did you become so wordy?" Long Chuxia closed her eyes, took a rest, opened her eyes and rolled her eyes at him.
"Okay, stop talking and take a rest!" King Qingping had no choice but to obey her.
Back in the palace, Feng Lingxiao hadn't come back yet. Long Chuxia was lying on the bed, ordering the hedgehogs not to come in and disturb her, while she slept in a dark place.
She slept all night and had no idea that Feng Lingxiao had not returned to the palace. It turned out that as soon as the imperial examination questions came out, the prime minister felt that the emperor did not trust her and did not inform him when the questions were changed. He couldn't think about it at home and actually committed suicide. Fortunately, his family rescued him in time, so he could avoid it. After fearing for his life, the emperor rushed over and told him the cause and effect of the matter. The prime minister was grateful for the emperor's kindness, but at the same time he felt sad for his old fool. So under Feng Lingxiao's suggestion, he collected the gold, silver and leaves. for disciples
Although the gold list has not been released yet, Feng Lingxiao said that no matter what their results are, gold and silver will definitely be used in important ways. As for Ye Ziqing, let’s take another look.
Jin Yinzi and Ye Ziqing came to see the Prime Minister overnight. In addition to paying homage to their mentor, they also talked about how to govern the country. The Prime Minister was pleased to find that their talents and qualifications were superior to others. Especially Jin Yinzi's insights were very unique. When talking about how to govern the country and bring peace to the people, , every sentence is full of true knowledge. The prime minister was excited for a while, so he kept Feng Lingxiao to cook wine and chat with him all night. Feng Lingxiao had always relied heavily on the prime minister. It was rare for him to be elegant, so naturally it was hard to turn him away.
The prime minister has no children, and now he has two disciples. Naturally, the boss is so happy that he almost wants to regard them as godsons. This golden and silver man is rigorous, serious, young and mature, and he is a man who can take on important responsibilities. Ye Ziqing has a playful smile and is often hilarious. This made the Prime Minister very happy, and the laughter continued all night
Seeing this situation, Feng Lingxiao finally felt relieved. Today's imperial examination can be regarded as a wake-up call to all the ministers. I hope they will take care of themselves. Of course, all those who should be applied for will be applied for. As for those who cannot be applied for, let's forget it for now. Next, it won’t be too late to wait until the people you have trained take up positions in the future.
He was really worried about Long Chuxia in his heart, so he ordered General Manager Li to go back to the palace to inform him, fearing that Long Chuxia would worry about him. However, General Manager Li returned to the palace and told her that she had fallen asleep long ago. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He stayed away all night, could it be that she Aren't you worried at all? Thinking of her staying out all night before, I couldn't sleep all night. It seemed that she still didn't care about him.
"Your Majesty, why are you so sad?" Jin Yinzi was already half drunk and spoke unscrupulously.
Feng Lingxiao forced a smile: "It's okay, some parents are short-lived!" He suddenly remembered that he would discuss the abandonment of the harem with the Prime Minister while he was here today, and said: "Prime Minister, I have one more thing to discuss with you today!"
The prime minister drank happily and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just tell me. Is it floods in the Nanjiang River or drought in Dabie? Tell me and let my two disciples give me some advice."
Feng Lingxiao shook her head and said calmly: "No, but, I am going to abolish the harem and make other arrangements for all the concubines."
The Prime Minister was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the wine glass and fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick up the wine glass, but Ye Ziqing picked it up first. The Prime Minister said: "I'm sorry, sir."
He wiped his forehead, widened his eyes and asked, "Did I hear you right, veteran? The emperor wants to abolish the harem?"
Feng Lingxiao said seriously: "You heard me right, I really want to abolish the harem!"
"Why?" The prime minister didn't understand. This is no small matter. It is even bigger than the imperial examination. There has never been such a practice since ancient times. The harem is the place where the royal family gives birth to heirs. If the royal family wants to spread its branches, it must It must be a concubine, is it the emperor? He thought of the ancient short-sleeved peach splitting, and couldn't help wiping away a cold sweat. Could it be that the emperor is actually a womanizer?
"I want to be like a common man, marrying only one wife and growing old with her!" Feng Ling's reason for laughing was very simple. In just a few words, he already expressed his thoughts.
The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief, and then he let go of his worries and said, "Your Majesty, if you like a woman, you can just make her your concubine. Why do you need to abolish the harem?"
Ye Ziqing and Jin Yinzi said together: "The woman the emperor mentioned must be in early summer!"
"Exactly!" Feng Lingxiao admitted.
The Prime Minister looked at the two of them doubtfully, "Do you know her? Your Majesty, where does this girl come from? Are you afraid?" He thought of the spies from earlier years who also used their beauty to sneak into the palace.
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I know the origin of this girl very clearly. What I want to discuss with you is how to arrange the concubines in the harem!"
