Chapter 89: My daughter has made a fortune!
The room suddenly fell into silence.
It took a while for the emperor’s voice to drift up, “How good?”
How good, this question Zhao Su could not answer. The key to what he thinks is good is not necessarily what others think is so good.
Pei Zhan saw this and hung his head, “Back to the emperor, every time Squire Zhao came to the errand he brought us food, the brothers felt embarrassed to always eat her, so they booked a table at the Dongxing building to return the favor to her.”
The emperor’s face was clear and cold: “What food was brought?”
“…… There are pies, small cookies, and egg tarts and cupcakes and whatnot, all of which are some treats made with great care.”
The emperor’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and turned to Zhao Su.
Zhao Su had a power intolerance, and when she received this gaze, she inexplicably winced.
“That’s very good.” The emperor said. “She made dim sum for you guys, and you invited her to eat at a restaurant in return, so when she met up with her long-standing enemy, you guys didn’t hesitate to share her as well, did you?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. This matter couldn’t be said in a few words, and summarizing it seemed to mean the same thing, but they couldn’t admit in front of the emperor, the proper master, that they didn’t hesitate to share the same fate as Zhao Su.
The emperor stretched his body, squinting: “Playing today, all go outside the noon gate to run twenty laps, three months, less than a day can not!”
Twenty laps! Three months!
Zhao Su was confused!
But Pei Zhan and the others have already agreed without saying a word, and quickly retreated towards the palace gates.
She looked back at the emperor, who also looked at her.
She scratched her head and slipped around the wall ready to go.
The emperor said, “You stay.”
She stayed? Didn’t have to run?
Not having to run laps was of course good, but she and Pei Zhan and the others had formed a revolutionary bond, and how embarrassing would it be for her to watch from the sidelines while the group was being punished?
She just went to the side to give them a boost or not!
“You, twenty laps a day, run for half a year!”
“…… What?!”
Twenty laps, half a year! Why doesn’t she understand?
Why wasn’t she being pardoned for staying, but instead had to run for a few more months?
The emperor looked at her coldly and humorously, “Out of breath, letting you enter the palace as a guard, and you take my guards outside to fight in a group, do you think that I don’t have enough to do, and you want to let the speech officer refer me to two books to find something for me to do?”
Zhao Su nerded out, “How do you know that I started it?”
“Before you entered the palace, Pei Zhan and the others never messed around outside, otherwise you think they could have stayed by my side?”
The emperor stood up and walked in front of her, “Messing with me outside not to mention bringing down my guards, I thought letting you run for half a year was light, I should have let you run for a whole year!”
“That month’s cook is still not when?”
“Almost forgot!” The Emperor took a deep breath and said with his hands folded, “The length of time as a cook will be increased by three months!”
“……!”
Zhao Su was speechless!
She gave up, “Or you can simply remove me from my post, I can’t afford to eat the bowl of rice of the imperial guards. Or you can make me a nun.”
If she didn’t become this imperial guard, she would just fight ten times outside and turn the sky upside down every day, and he wouldn’t be able to control her!
“Then after running for half a year and cooking for four months, then go become a nun!”
Zhao Su looked at him, completely already not wanting to say anything else. He was the biggest scoundrel in the whole world!
“Your Majesty,” at this time, Si Xi walked in, “I heard Squire Liang say that because of the incident at Dong Xing Lou just now, He Lao Shang Shu’s residence’s eldest young lady and cousin young master went back and made quite a scene, and now He Lao Shang Shu is sending his eldest son, He Min Hong, to prepare to go up to the Marquis of Qing Yun’s residence.”
The angry Zhao Su and the stern-faced emperor simultaneously turned their heads.
“Going up to the Marquis of Qing Yun’s residence?”
Zhao Su suddenly panicked a bit, “He must have gone to complain, this old Shangshu He is an old curmudgeon, surely he won’t give up that easily, he sent his son up to our house, then I must be miserable back home! Will my father beat me?”
The Emperor gave her a cool glance.
Zhao Su reached out and grabbed his sleeve, “Can you go and plead for me?”
“What do you think?”
Zhao Su paused and withdrew her hand. “Forget it, I’ll go for a run! It’s good that you don’t fall on your sword!”
After saying that, she twisted her head and ran out!
As long as she could not go back at this moment, not to mention letting her run, she was fine with even letting her do the full set of radio gymnastics again!
……
Dongxing Building had become that way, in fact, it was already difficult to end it.
After the emperor took Zhao Su and all of them away, the He family guards and Wu family guards underneath also came up. The crowd helped Wu Xiuping up with their hands and feet.
He Wan Yu had already fainted behind the screen, and Wu Xiuping pinched her to wake her up.
Seeing Wu Xiuping was beaten into a pig head, He Wan Yu ah screamed and cried again, pulling his legs and ran downstairs.
Wu Xiuping with guards chased after the street, at least coaxed her back to the carriage, all the way back to the House of He in a hurry, He Wan Yu as soon as she entered the door, yelling to see her grandfather.
He Zong’s side happened to have a visitor. Several officials from the six ministries have come to seek He Zong’s opinion after the emperor’s decision to transfer Fang Qingxue to the Ministry of Rites and to keep Shi En in the Ministry of Rites, after hitting a wall in front of Yao Ting.
“The Empress Dowager has made great efforts to support the Flower Moon Society in recent years, and because of the Flower Moon Society’s policies throughout the country’s prefectures, nowadays women all over the world have been able to earn a living on their own, and even many dare to confront their husbands’ families, which has greatly contributed to the corruption of the people’s morals, and already there is also the instability of the state of the nation.
“Originally thought Shi En down is good, a new person up to take charge of this matter, at least will not allow it to proliferate. But I didn’t expect the emperor to just devalue Shi En and not transfer him out of the Ministry of Rites, which is just as well, he even let Fang Qingxue take charge of this position-
“Lord Shangshu, this Fang Qingxue is also a die-hard loyalist of the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor, although he is not as good as Shi En in the matter of the Flower and Moon Festival, but based on his loyalty to the Empress Dowager, there is no way that he can disobey the Empress Dowager’s decree! Having Fang Qingxue as the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Shi En as the minister of the Ministry of Rites to assist, this could be even more troublesome than the original!
“My lord, we can’t abolish our rituals, abolishing them would be chaotic! If women can be the masters of the world, then where is the dignity of the ancestral teaching that the husband is the master of the wife?”
The three people in the room spoke to He Zong with each other, and the urgent anxiety in their hearts was all on their faces.
He Zong waved his hand to signal the group to calm down.
“I have already heard and understood your words, it is a blessing for the people to have such worried ministers and workers in the court. What you all have said is very true, the rites and teachings are the fundamentals of maintaining the stability of the countryside, and must not be allowed to be abolished.
“However, this matter requires a strategy. The empress dowager and the emperor are wise, a swarm of upload, not only can not achieve the purpose, but also may cause the opposite effect.”
“Then to Shangshu Lord’s high opinion, how should it be?”
