Empress Yin: "You are Baochai, right? I heard about it when His Majesty made you the county prince. When I saw you today, you are indeed a good boy with a beautiful temperament, gentleness and grace."
With a smile on her face, Baochai bowed and saluted: "The Queen has won the award, but my daughter is not as good as the other princesses."
At this time, Yuan Chun also came up and said to Empress Yin: "Empress, my sister has had such a temperament since she was a child, gentle and quiet."
Queen Yin pretended to be surprised and looked slightly sideways: "Sister? Is Sister Lan Fei related to Miss Baochai?"
Yuanchun replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Empress, I am my cousin and my sister Baochai. It's just that the two families live in two places far apart, so it has been inconvenient for them to travel over the years."
Empress Yin smiled and nodded: "Well, I don't pay much attention to things outside the palace, so I don't know. Since my sister is related to Miss Baochai, then Sister Lan Fei will receive Baochai for me.
It just so happens that you sisters can also talk to each other."
While Yuanchun agreed, he secretly thought about what Queen Yin meant.
Although Queen Yin is famous for her kindness in the palace, and even the eunuchs and maids love her very much, what does Queen Yin think about her ability to securely sit in the back position in the harem, suppress all the demons and monsters in the harem, and manage her affairs in an orderly manner?
He cannot be a simple person.
…
In the front hall, the ministers were enjoying the song and dance performance. As the saying goes, a man will remain a boy until he dies.
Regarding the beautiful things, although the ministers were still sitting upright, each and every one of them looked at them with gusto.
Even Xue Hong couldn't help but sigh: "She dances really well."
The figures, slender waists, and charming expressions of the palace maids are all pleasing to the eye. Although there were ethnic dances in later generations, they were on a completely different level from the one in front of you. They were worlds apart.
After all, the Supreme Emperor is very old, so it is impossible for him to sit in the front hall with his ministers for a whole day, otherwise the whole country will be in mourning tomorrow.
The Supreme Emperor, supported by Emperor Longqing, walked towards the back hall.
As for the front hall, the prince presided over it on his behalf.
The prince is about 27 or 28 years old. He is obviously in his prime, but his body is thin and his eyes are cloudy. It seems that he has too much energy leakage.
Come to think of it, it would be strange if a ruthless person who gave birth to a child at the age of ten could do well with his energy.
Moreover, when Emperor Longqing first came to the throne, he was busy dealing with the country's chaos, so he neglected to educate his sons. After finding a teacher, they were basically in a semi-freedom state.
So the prince had more fun, and finally used his life and health to teach his five younger brothers the dangers of indulgence in words and deeds.
In the current state of the prince, his liver and kidney functions are almost the same as those of the eighty-year-old emperor. His essence was released too early and his indulgence was too severe. Even Xue Hong could not save him.
However, there is one thing to say: apart from indulgence in sexual activities, the prince is still a qualified prince in other aspects.
Zhu Hui poked Xue Hong and Chen Chen: "Next, my father and grandfather will summon some ministers alone in the back hall. Junchen basically can't run away, and you can't escape either.
We'll get to the back in a while. If Grandpa Huang gives you a reward, don't give it for free. If you really don't like it, you can bring it out to me.
But just one thing, be careful not to get tricked."
…
In the back hall, Emperor Longqing and the Supreme Emperor were sitting on the upper throne, while Prince Yizhong was sitting on the lower throne of the Supreme Emperor.
The first group of people called in to see him were several pavilion elders. These pavilion elders were all promoted by Emperor Longqing. The previous pavilion elders basically retired and went home due to "various coincidences."
The same goes for the six ministers, they are basically direct descendants of Emperor Longqing. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor only had a few symbolic conversations and then dismissed them.
The next level down is the rank of Minister of the Sixth Ministry. Originally there were many die-hard confidants of the Supreme Emperor. Unfortunately, due to the imperial examination fraud case some time ago, Emperor Longqing basically demoted them and killed them.
Further down, most of the old people who were in the Supreme Emperor's period also saw the situation clearly. After entering the back hall, they answered the question in a flawless manner and completely pretended not to understand the overt and covert instructions of the Supreme Emperor.
Emperor Longqing was very satisfied with this, otherwise he would have wanted to laugh three times and ask, "Who else is there?"
But then, the lineage of military generals made Emperor Longqing very unhappy.
King Beijing, who was the first to come in, and the princes of the other three kings were blatantly loyal to the Supreme Emperor. This was their plan to go all the way to the dark side!
The Supreme Emperor met with Queen Beijing, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered Jia She: "The first-class general of the Xuanrong Kingdom, Jia She, has an audience."
Jia She pretended to be a little too drunk and walked frivolously. He entered the back hall and saluted respectfully: "My lord, Jia She has met Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor!"
Jia She placed Emperor Longqing in front of the Supreme Emperor and saluted him, which made Emperor Longqing feel very comfortable. It seems that Jia She, who served as his eldest brother's companion, had some political IQ.
Although the Supreme Emperor was a little dissatisfied, it was difficult to say anything because he was only the Supreme Emperor now, and the actual person in charge of the country was Emperor Longqing. There was no problem in etiquette when he bowed to Emperor Longqing first.
Because national law is greater than family law, even if the Supreme Emperor is the biological father of Emperor Longqing, it will not work. In terms of etiquette and law, Emperor Longqing is the greatest.
The Supreme Emperor smiled kindly and said: "Honor, please get up quickly. We haven't seen each other for some time."
Prince Yi Zhong stood up and helped Jia She in person, with a sincere smile on his face: "What the emperor said is true. Even my grandson has not seen Uncle She for a while."
Jia She quickly replied: "I, I should not be called the prince's uncle."
Prince Yi Zhong held Jia She's arm tightly, his face still calm: "Uncle She, you were my father's companion at that time, and my father and I were called emperors and ministers, but they were actually good friends. How can you not be a minor?"
Uncle Wang Yiyi?"
This **** Chun Chun gave Jia She eye drops in front of Emperor Longqing.
However, Emperor Longqing was not one of those petty emperors, and he would not be dissatisfied with killing his ministers just because of a word or a title.
The Supreme Emperor: "My lord, I gave you this name."
Jia She: "My late father often said when he was still alive that the Emperor's kindness to my Jia family was as great as a mountain. He warned my Jia family that they must be loyal to the court and the emperor in future generations in order to repay the emperor's kindness in case anything happens."
He did not say that he was loyal to the Supreme Emperor, but that he was loyal to the imperial court.
The Supreme Emperor: "I remember that you were a good soldier in the army back then, and your skills in riding, shooting, and training were all top-notch. How are you doing now? Do you still have the skills?"
Jia She looked ashamed: "Ever since the death of my late father, She has been cultivated by the Supreme Emperor. All his talents have been destroyed by wine and sex, and there is nothing left. Therefore, I dare not recommend myself to His Majesty and ask for errands."
What does it matter if the ability is there or not? If the Supreme Emperor really gets mad and asks the emperor to offer Jia She an important position in the military, it will be great fun.
So the best way is to blame yourself, tell the Supreme Emperor, and also tell Emperor Longqing: You two bosses should stop thinking about me all the time. I drink in the brothel every day, and "huha" with my concubine every day is no longer in use, and I can't do anything else.
It doesn't work.
The Supreme Emperor and Prince Yi Zhong jointly tried three times. Jia She gritted his molars and refused politely.
Although it still feels like sitting on the wall, this is already the most perfect answer that Jia She can give.
Otherwise, no matter who you prefer, it will be troublesome.
