Chapter 8 The Prime Minister’s Father’s Worries

In the cold palace, Shangguan Qi held her chin and played with the tea cup in her hand with a bored look on her face. From time to time she glanced at the prime minister sitting opposite, who was frothing, and rolled her eyes gently.

"Qi'er. Do you remember everything dad said?" Shangguan Hong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the smear around his mouth. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all. Then he raised his head and looked at Shangguan Hong.

Qi, who knew that this look almost made him angry.

Here he was laboriously telling her the history of the Shangguan family, and this little girl was actually playing with the lid of a teacup with a contented look on her face! Did she listen to him carefully?

Seeing Shangguan Hong's blushing face and his beard flying with anger, Shangguan Qi rolled his eyes wildly again. Just when Shangguan Hong finally couldn't help but slap the table in anger, Shangguan Qi said lazily: "Dad,

I have lost my memory. But it does not mean that I have become an idiot! You just said so much, don’t you just want me to remember that the Shangguan family has been loyal and loyal for generations and has no two hearts for the country! Therefore, as a child of the Shangguan family, we must

You know how to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, polite, righteous, and honest, and you must not disgrace the Shangguan family! Right?"[

The lid of the tea cup in his hand suddenly stopped, and a white reflection was printed on the polished table. Shangguan Qi raised his eyes slightly, and saw Shangguan Hong paused slightly, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

.

"That's right! That's right!" It seemed that Xiao Nizi still listened carefully. So what he said for a long time was not in vain.

"Father, you can now tell me the purpose of your visit today." Looking at the sun outside, it was already three high. This old prime minister can really speak.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hong immediately changed into the appearance of Maitreya Buddha when he first arrived. With that kind smile on his face, Shangguan Qi couldn't help but give him a nickname in her heart: "Smiling Fox."

"Qi'er, I heard that you beat up Concubine Li and Concubine Shu?"

"Yeah." The news spread really fast. It was in the front court so quickly. It must be the two fathers who invited me.

Seeing Shangguan Qi's answer so simply, Shangguan Hong's eyes trembled slightly. He didn't expect that this was actually Qi'er's beating. When the news came to the mansion, he and his wife were full of disbelief and thought they were talking nonsense!

"Why?" Shangguan Hong's smile faded and he asked.

"They need to be repaired." Shangguan Qi put his hand on his chin and responded to the prime minister calmly. "Dad, I heard from Yaya that you also spend two days in this cold palace every month. So what kind of life did your daughter live before?

My heart is like a mirror. Just please stop asking me such unnutritious questions!"

Shangguan Qi raised her eyes and looked at Shangguan Hong quietly. She saw his figure trembling, then narrowed his eyes, a trace of excitement and curiosity flashed in his eyes, and then nodded with a smile.

"Qi'er's personality is completely different now that she has lost her memory!" Shangguan Hong twirled his beard and couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Shangguan Qi. Finally, he changed the topic and brought up the subject: "Concubine Shu's

My father and Li Fei’s father jointly filed a petition requesting that you be deposed from the throne."

"The reason." He was still playing with the teacup lid in his hand nonchalantly, and his face was calm, obviously as expected.

"Beating the beloved concubine in the harem is unbecoming of a queen." After Shangguan Hong said this, he noticed that Shangguan Qi's eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, a charming smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

"Beating the concubine first shows that the queen is cruel and has no tenderness, and the person she beat is a beloved concubine. Secondly, it shows that the queen has no motherly etiquette for the world, and has a mind as broad as the world and violates the seven-step rule. Is this the right explanation for me?"

The lid of the tea cup that had been spinning was finally placed on the table as Shangguan Qi's hand movements stopped. The crisp sound and the faint smile emanating from Shangguan Qi's deep purple eyes made Shangguan Hong lose his mind for a moment.

, and then showed an intriguing smile like Shangguan Qi.

"How to deal with Qi'er?" Shangguan Hong's disguised answer made the curve of Shangguan Qi's mouth become more and more seductive, making Shangguan Hong dumbfounded for a moment. When did he give birth to such a charming daughter?

"My daughter has been living in the cold palace all year round. She never leaves or takes a step forward. She knows nothing about what happens in the palace, but she also knows the noble order and etiquette." Shangguan Qi slowly stood up and stretched.

Then she slowly looked towards her father. Only to find that the excitement in Shangguan Hong's eyes was getting hotter. "Dad, do you think what your daughter said is right?"

"Haha~ That's right." Shangguan Hong laughed, then stood up and walked to Shangguan Qi, stretched out his hand and "touched" her head, and then Shangguan Qi heard an old but healthy voice coming from above her head.

"As expected of me, Shangguan Hong's daughter. My father has been feeling guilty for you for so many years. Now he realizes that, Qi'er, you...hehe... Okay! Okay!"

Shangguan Hong burst out laughing again, and then swaggered out of the gate of Leng Palace. His cheerful smile aroused doubts in the minds of everyone in the yard. Shangguan Qi, on the other hand, looked at the figure walking further and further away, and stretched out her hand.

She touched the top of her head that was touched by Shangguan Hong. The residual heat that had not dissipated made her slowly raise the corners of her lips.

Above the court, Emperor Ye was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold dragons and sitting on the dragon chair. His slender fingers were playing with the ring in his hand, and his bright green eyes were silent. Down in the hall, Concubine Shu's father, Shangshu, was sitting on the throne.

His Excellency Wang Yangzheng spoke energetically about Shangguan Qi's various "bad deeds" and described the passion with body movements. Li Fei's father, Li Mingda, the Minister of Rites, kept nodding aside and added from time to time.

, the two sang in harmony, and the voices of their dissatisfaction with the current queen were floating around the hall, which meant that Shangguan Qi was bound to be pulled from the back seat![

"Your Majesty! The current queen is really not worthy of being a model of our country's motherly etiquette for the world. Please think again, Your Majesty!" After saying the ultimate goal, both of them were thirsty and sweating profusely. Their eyes were full of excitement, and they looked at each other provocatively from time to time.

He turned to the side of Prime Minister Shangguan Hong.

Huh! Pull your daughter out of the back seat and let’s see how long you old guy can stay arrogant!

In fact, before the day before yesterday, they had never thought of asking for the abolition of the queen position, because the queen was no different. But after she beat Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, they finally decided to remove this queen. It was not an eyesore at first, but at this time

But it is very annoying, and then strive to push his daughter to the supreme position. By then, their strength will have reached a higher level. So what else can Shangguan old man have to fight against them?

Their little abacus was rattling around here, but there was no movement from Emperor Ye over there. Finally, the two people who had been bending over couldn't bear it anymore, and slightly raised their eyes to look at the holy face, but who knew that they preferred the right one?

Looking at Ye Emperor's pair of wolf-like bright green eyes with cold light, their bodies trembled suddenly, and they lowered their heads in fear for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Ye Di looked away, looked at Shangguan Hong and asked coldly.

"Back to the emperor, this is the emperor's family matter, and I have no right to interfere. However, I only have three questions, which I am very puzzled about. Please answer them to the two adults." Shangguan Hong took a step forward and responded respectfully.

"Yes." Ye Di responded lightly, accepting it.

With the permission of Emperor Ye, Shangguan Hong turned around, looked at Wang Yang and Li Mingda with a smile, and asked: "Two adults, I have three questions about the truth. I hope you can answer them."

"Prime Minister, please speak." Even if there are thousands of resentments, the etiquette expected in the court is still indispensable.

"First, all the ministers knew that the little girl was not talented and was thrown into the cold palace on the day she got married. She has been in the cold palace for three years now. She never leaves the door or takes a step every day. How did she provoke Empress Li and Concubine Shu?

What about?"

"This..." The look in their eyes dissipated somewhat.

"Second." Without waiting for their answer, Shangguan Hong continued to ask. "Although my daughter has been relegated to the cold palace, she has always been the queen of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. What is wrong with the queen punishing the concubines? Besides, the daughter punished the two empresses and their wives.

The palace people will carry out the work according to the regulations of the harem."

"Um..." The two of them looked a little flustered.

"Thirdly, compared to the two ministers who just said that my daughter took revenge because she was jealous of the favor of the two concubines and she was unwilling to live in the cold palace, the truth is different." Looking at the expressions of the two men, they were not as arrogant as before.

, Shangguan Hong sneered and said, "Your Majesty is kind and allows me to come to the palace to visit my daughter twice a month. I am not afraid of the ministers laughing at me. Every time I go to visit my daughter, I will always find some scars on her face or body."

After asking, I realized that it was Concubine Li and Concubine Shu. I didn’t believe it at first, but after asking the palace servants in the Leng Palace and the maids and eunuchs in the harem, I found out that Concubine Shu and Concubine Li would occasionally go to the Leng Palace.

Sit down. Maybe the cold palace is a place that makes people feel comfortable. I heard from the palace people that every time the two empresses go in with resentful faces, they always come out refreshed. But this time, I heard the little girl said it’s because

Concubine Li and Concubine Shu came to the Cold Palace to provoke, and my daughter was really unbearable, so she punished the two empresses. If the two ministers don't believe it, they can ask Eunuch Fuquan, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I believe he also knows something."

After Shangguan Hong finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent, because the plain and innocent face of someone sitting on the dragon chair actually had a bit of air-conditioning.

"Fuquan." As soon as Ye Di spoke, Fuquan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping down.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Feeling that people in the hall were looking at him, Fuquan was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Is what the Prime Minister said true?" Ye Di continued to play with the finger in his hand, but his bright green eyes quietly made ripples.

"It's... it's true. Concubine Li and Concubine Shu... indeed... they often take it out on the Queen... and it's the same this time!" After saying this, Fuquan knew that he would soon die. Sure enough,

The next second, Emperor Ye was executed by execution for deceiving the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's personal father-in-law Fuquan being executed by Emperor Ye, everyone in the hall was so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Wang Yang and Li Mingda even knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, sweating coldly.

Nasty, for fear that he would become Fuquan in the next second. Only Shangguan Hong looked at the pillars in the hall with a smile as usual, sighing that his daughter was really smart, and he easily reversed the situation.

"Hmph! I guess the two ministers knew what to do without me having to say anything." The smile on the corner of Emperor Ye's mouth was like a bloody sword that shocked everyone in the hall, even Shangguan Hong.

He also put away the smile on his lips and lowered his head to look at the ground in awe.

"Wang Yang, Li Mingda made unreasonable assumptions without knowing the truth, slandering the reputation of the queen and destroying the majesty of the royal family. He will be fined a year's salary. If he does it again, he will..." Seeing the two shrinking their necks in fear, Ye Di raised his hand slightly.

Eyebrow corners.[

"Retreat from the court."
