Chapter 341 Believe it or not, Your Majesty, decide for yourself
Chapter 341 Believe it or not, Your Majesty, decide for yourself
In the imperial study, after hearing what Minister Wei said, the emperor stared at the man in front of him in a daze. He was indeed a good official who was honest and upright, but the Minister of Personnel was a little unpopular.
He really wanted to say, Wei Qingjia, are you kidding me?
However, she knew in her heart that there was no way this stubborn old man could enter the palace to tease her.
"She said that she had no other intention. She just didn't want our Fengliang Kingdom to lose face in front of the foreign envoys. I have brought her words to you. It is up to you to decide whether to believe it or not, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now." Lord Wei knew that the emperor was questioning him as soon as he saw his expression.
He did not say anything to persuade him. After all, he had said everything that needed to be said. The decision was up to the emperor.
As for losing face in front of foreign envoys, if the king of a country can bear it, why can't a minister like me bear it!
Mainly, Lord Wei was not sure what this incident would bring to Xiaoduo. She said there was no need to ask the emperor for a reward. If the matter was done really well, the emperor would definitely reward her.
However, I can't just think about the good side. I have to consider the bad things as well. I'm really afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to that girl.
Seeing Lord Wei really backing out after he finished speaking, the emperor frowned. Why couldn't this old guy say something to persuade him to agree?
How could he really just be delivering a message for that girl? As an important official in the court, he didn't care about the country's reputation?
"Wait, did I ask you to leave?" the emperor asked in an unhappy tone.
Minister Wei was not afraid either. He stopped where he was, keeping his hands clasped and slightly bent over. However, he was secretly amazed in his heart. In other words, His Majesty also believed in that girl!
You know, this matter is of a different nature from the one concerning Empress Gao. For Your Majesty, the one concerning Empress Gao was his private matter, while the matter concerning the diplomatic corps is a state affair.
Regarding the matter of Empress Gao, this person should have been just trying it out, but if he agreed to this matter, he would have to face the delegation directly.
"Since Wei Qing's family would come to convey this message, I believe you also believe her, right?" the emperor said.
Lord Wei: "Your Majesty, I believe it." If I didn't believe it, would I have come to the palace to see you?
"Mr. Wei, I want to know how you got to know this girl. Can you tell me?" The emperor was really curious. The information the secret guards found out was that the girl had known Minister Wei before she came to Beijing to send her child.
However, as a king, it is really inappropriate to ask ministers about gossip and such trivial matters!
But, things are different now. Since this is a matter concerning the reputation of the country, it is not excessive to ask about the girl’s background, right?
"Please step aside. I know that girl. I met her on the road when I took leave from the capital last year. Your Majesty should have an impression of her, right?" Lord Wei said.
The emperor glanced at him and thought, Humph, I don't agree with your decision, so you get angry with me and quit your job and run away. How could I not remember it!
"Yes, I do remember that time. I thought that after Wei Qing's family went out for a stroll, they would become nostalgic for the comfortable life outside and would never return to the court." The emperor sneered. He was also good at speaking in a sarcastic way.
Besides, you were the one who asked this question yourself.
Facing the emperor's ridicule, Lord Wei did not feel uncomfortable at all. After meeting the girl Xiaoduo and being enlightened by her words, he cared even less about such things.
"I remember that Wei Qing's family returned to the capital not long after that. So the time he had with that girl shouldn't have been long. How could he trust her so much?" The emperor didn't see any discomfort on the other's face and continued to ask, feeling quite disappointed.
"Please step aside. I am already at this age and I am basically right in judging people. Although she is young, she is very insightful. At such a young age, she has understood the true meaning of the world, which is really rare." Speaking of Xiaoduo, Lord Wei could not help but smile.
After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Since she is someone that the Wei family trusts, I will issue an order to select her to enter the palace tomorrow to assist the Ministry of Rites and be responsible for receiving foreign envoys.
Wei Aiqing, please go to the Ministry of Rites and find her a suitable robe, something similar to what the interpreters wear. If there is no suitable one, I don't know if it will be too late to make one now."
"I obey your order. If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave." Wei Junpei said. The emperor waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
After Wei Junpei left, Eunuch Fu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone to test the young lady to see if she really knows the foreign language? If not, there is still time. Don't make a fool of yourself later."
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Fu upon hearing this, as if he was looking at a fool: "If I could find someone to test him, would I need a little girl to come to the palace to help me?"
When Eunuch Fu heard this, he raised his hand and symbolically slapped himself on the face: "Look at this slave's pig head."
The emperor picked up a memorial and weighed it in his hands. The Empress's matter had tormented him for several years, but she had solved it easily. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple both said that the case of Prime Minister Dong's youngest son was basically a done deal, and it was she who had screened out the real culprit.
Even though the diplomatic mission had nothing to do with her blood relationship identification skills, she claimed to be able to speak a foreign language and emphasized that it was not just a superficial level, which meant that she really had that ability.
How could such a talent be a little girl? If she were a man, she would definitely keep him in the capital and give him an official position to serve in the court.
The elders in this girl's family are also quite strange. As people of the martial arts world, they are not only good at martial arts, but also at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why did they let the girl learn a foreign language?
Could it be that her family felt that the local world was not big enough and wanted to venture abroad?
For some reason, the emperor suddenly looked forward to receiving the foreign delegation tomorrow. He himself was a little confused. Did he want to see the girl handle it easily? Or did he simply want to confirm whether she really knew foreign languages?
In such an important position as the Ministry of Rites, there are only two translators who can speak foreign languages, and two of them are working in border areas. The whole country has been trying to recruit another one for the Ministry of Rites but to no avail. How can a girl like her who travels around the country know foreign languages? How can this be justified?
Mu Rongjing brought the three sets of robes made by three embroiderers, as well as the one that Hong Xiaoduo had worn in the Marquis' Mansion before, to Minister Wei's residence, and saw Hong Xiaoduo trying on an official's robe, while Wei Zizheng's wife Hua was checking the sizes of the other two robes.
"This one isn't good. It's a piece I've worn before. What's wrong with their Ministry of Rites?" Hua said with disdain.
"It's just something I wear temporarily. It's no problem." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
"What is this?" Mu Rongjing pointed at Hong Xiaoduo who was wearing men's clothes and asked in confusion, and also, Ministry of Rites? What does that mean?
Did she go to work in the Ministry of Rites?
Not leaving?
Instantly, Mu Rongjing felt his blood boiling...

I have no way to repay you for supporting me so much. I can only write more seriously to repay you. Thanks (ω)
My dears, after the banshee has sorted out the plot and ensured stable updates for a few days, I will start updating twice a day today. It’s a system release, and to prevent errors, the second update will be five minutes apart.
Afterwards, I will try my best to update twice a week, but I cannot guarantee it. If I do, I will indicate it after the chapter!
Thank you for your tolerance towards Banshee, who has a bad hand speed, (^_-)
