After the fall of the country, the crown princess was spoiled by the new emperor

Chapter 161 Xu Yan starts to float

Meals have been set up in the hall, and there are two steaming copper pots, which are warm just by looking at them.

Sitting down to eat, Wang Chun and Nanny Chen carefully prepared the dishes. After Wen Xiao ate the dishes, he drank the wine by himself.

"The emperor has a happy event today?"

He smiled: "Well, a great victory on the front line."

He went all the way into Shouyang and captured the emperor's relatives and imprisoned Prince Shang, but the remnants of the previous dynasty are still stubbornly resisting. Now that they have won a great victory, the world will be peaceful just by eliminating them.

"That is indeed a good thing." Jiang Ronghe held up the wine glass in front of him: "I congratulate the emperor."

Wen Xiao pressed her hand: "You replace the bar with tea."

"Okay." Jiang Ronghe obediently changed the tea and respected him.

Wen Xiao was in a good mood and ate a lot. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, a little eunuch came in and whispered something to Wang Chun.

"Your Majesty, at the Hanzhang Palace, three court ladies were found frozen to death."

Jiang Ronghe, who was washing his hands at the side, was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Wen Xiao.

The death of three court ladies is not a big deal, but the key is that they died of freezing. After careful investigation, it is hard to guarantee that it was Xu Yan's fault.

"Frozen to death?" Wen Xiao's face darkened: "Didn't the winter clothes and the charcoal used by the palace people go down?"

Wang Chun pretended to be stupid: "This slave doesn't know."

"Go and call the Chief Manager." Wen Xiao threw aside the handkerchief to wipe his hands, feeling displeased already.

Soon the chief manager came, with snow on his feet, he quickly greeted him when he came in: "Your Majesty."

"Didn't the winter clothes and charcoal fire go away? How could a court lady freeze to death?" Wen Xiao's tone was a little harsh.

The chief steward hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the servant just went to investigate. It was the three maids who made a mistake, so the nanny locked them up and punished them. There was no charcoal basin in the room. Who knew that it was snowing last night, and people died so cold."

"What mistake did they make?" Wen Xiao asked with a dark face, Jiang Ronghe sat down silently at the side, but listened carefully.

The chief manager obviously hesitated: "They broke a vase in Hanzhang Hall when they were sweeping."

"One vase, three lives!" Wen Xiao was annoyed.

The chief executive was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

Wang Chun hurried in: "Your Majesty, Xu Xiaoyuan has arrived."

Wen Xiao didn't speak, Xu Yan had already walked in quickly, and seeing the head steward kneeling, Xu Yan also hurriedly bowed her body: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty forgives me, I just found out about the Hanzhang Palace, my concubine is not strictly controlled, please The emperor will deal with it."

She came quickly, and it seems that the past few months of handling palace affairs have left a lot of tips.

Jiang Ronghe took a sip of tea in silence and watched quietly.

Wen Xiao didn't say anything. This matter wasn't Xu Yan's fault, but she couldn't escape the responsibility of taking care of the palace affairs.

"For one vase, three lives were lost. Even if the palace people enter the palace, they shouldn't be so contemptuous of them." Wen Xiao didn't reprimand him too much after all: "Let their family members collect the corpses, please comfort them, and pay funeral money according to the rules .”

Xu Yan hurriedly responded: "Yes, I will carefully comfort you."

"Punish the eunuchs according to the palace rules, and you should think carefully. If someone freezes to death this time, it means that the person in charge has neglected his duty, and he will be punished together." He offered both kindness and majesty, but Xu Yan did not dare to refute, and still agreed.

She was cautious, but she felt really uncomfortable. Seeing that Wen Xiao didn't want to talk to her too much, and seeing Jiang Ronghe here, she left with a sad face.

After they all went out, Jiang Ronghe said: "The emperor has a kind heart, so don't be angry."
