Jin Kouko looked at the emperor with a frightened look, and asked knowingly, "I don't understand."
"It's better not to understand. If you understand, you will be just like the empress and step empress. It will only increase the sadness. There is a saying among the people that the most ruthless emperor's family is the most ruthless. This has been true for thousands of years. I think you are smart.
, although you often act stupidly, so stupid that people can’t tell the difference between true and false, and sometimes even my eyes are confused by you.”
"Father..."
"I am not an old fool. On the day of the birthday banquet, most of the birthday gifts given to me by the princes were due to you. Even the birthday wishes given by the sixteenth prince were what you thought. His mother
Concubine, you are smart, but you are not that smart yet."
After talking so much nonsense, the emperor finally got to the point.
"I covet you, but I can't bear to see the suffering in the world, and those ministers are reluctant to take out their wallets, so they come up with a plan to show their shame in front of my father. I hope my father will forgive me!"
Not long after she sat back down in her seat, Jin Kou Kou gritted her teeth, steeled herself, and knelt down again. She just felt sorry for her knees, having to have such explicit and intimate contact with such a cold stone.
"Blame you? Why do I blame you? If it weren't for your insistence, how could those ministers take out their own pockets?"
"Father..."
"Get up, I called you here, not to hear you say in my ears whether you were wrong this way or that. I'm just an ordinary father chatting with his daughter-in-law about what's on his mind."
"Thank you, Father." Jin Kou Kou stood up again. This time she did not sit down, so as to avoid the trouble of kneeling in front of the Emperor again.
"You did a good job on the birthday banquet. Could it be that you let those princes take the lead? How could those ministers obediently take out the money from their wallets? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the plan, and the losses to the treasury would not have gone away.
That's not all the same, but..." The emperor made a bold statement, and Jin Kouko had to listen carefully.
A single turn of phrase could very well cost you your life.
"I don't know why you suddenly did such an explicit thing. It was too conspicuous, and I saw through it all at once. I asked you to come into the palace today. In fact, on that day, or maybe
You had thought of it earlier, right? Did you want me to pay attention to you on purpose?"
Jin Koukou shook his head and said, "I don't mean this, I'm sure my father doesn't want to argue with me."
"Care about it?" The emperor caught Jin Kou Kou's speech problem and deliberately said those two words very strongly. Jin Kou Kou cursed inwardly, why did she say such vulgar words in front of the emperor? She glanced at herself
It looks like I'm going to kneel down again.
"Father, my son has never learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he comes from a folk background. His speech is a bit unruly. How dare you forgive me, Father!"
She knelt down and kowtowed one after another. The sound of her kowtows seemed to be heard throughout the world. She had never performed such a grand ceremony in front of anyone in her life.
"I called you over, saying I wanted to talk to you, but actually I wanted to tell you something." This time the emperor did not ask Jin Kou Kou to stand up immediately, but said slowly...
