The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 358
"Prime Minister Guo, what's your opinion?" Everyone who saw the empress stood up and spoke. This matter seemed to have become more complicated, and the emperor couldn't continue to muddle through.

"Returning to the emperor, according to the old minister's opinion, it's better... to cut off the status of the nobleman and demote him to a commoner. He can go back wherever he came from. This place will neither harm the nobleman nor lose the hearts of the people." Guo Yucheng naturally said He doesn't have such a great ability, he probably taught him these words by the queen mother.

Compared with Prime Minister Ning, Guo Yucheng is really an empty shell without any talent or ability. It can be said that he is the puppet prime minister supported by the queen mother. Kindness, now it seems that it is better to let Prime Minister Ning continue to do it, and maybe he will not do it for his sake.

"Sent back to the people? It sounds good, but it's impossible. Throughout the hundreds of years of my Tianmu's history, there is no such thing as a concubine being sent to the people. These people followed suit. Don't you ministers have brains? Are you awake?" The emperor's words were full of temper, and everyone was a little terrified when they heard it.

"Going back to the emperor, the old minister didn't mean that... It's just that these mobs are making such a fuss now, which will greatly damage the emperor's reputation. Please think about it." Guo Yucheng didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only soften his attitude Persuade.

The emperor snorted coldly and said: "Since, Prime Minister Guo, you know that those people are mobs, what's the use of talking about it, and why don't you send troops out to suppress it? At the feet of the emperor, you dare to make trouble. I'm really tired of working."

"Your majesty, you must not suppress it, I'm afraid it will backfire." As soon as Ning Guogong heard that the emperor wanted to suppress it, he immediately refuted it.

However, the emperor seemed impatient to listen, he just got up and raised his hand and said, "Retire."

After finishing speaking, he walked away with a flick of his sleeve, and all the ministers stared blankly...but there was nothing they could do.

"My lord, look... about this?" Guo Yucheng looked sideways at Xi Gongjue.

Xi Gongjue did not speak from the beginning to the end, and watched everything with cold eyes. Fortunately, the emperor protected An Ran, and did not listen to the words of these veterans, and sneaked her back to the people.

However, doing so will make it difficult for Jue Xigong. If the emperor is really willing to let her go, it will be easy. After all, as long as Ye Anran returns to the people, he can find someone to hide her until the situation stabilizes. Picking her up.

But if An Ran stayed in the palace all the time, then things in the future would be even more difficult to predict.

After getting out of the court hall, the emperor was full of anger and was about to walk towards the imperial study when he saw Nanny Chang walking slowly.

"The old slave pays respects to the emperor."

"The queen mother asked you to come?" Seeing Nanny Chang, the emperor knew that the queen mother probably wanted to talk to him again.

"Going back to the emperor, exactly, the empress dowager wanted to see the emperor, so she dragged the old slave here to invite the emperor to go to Tianxuan Palace." Chang Nai said truthfully.

The emperor sighed and said: "Nurse Chang, you can go back and tell the queen mother that I am not feeling well, and I will have a heart-to-heart talk some other day."

"Your Majesty...but...?" Chang Momo looked at the Emperor with a little embarrassment, as if she had something to say.

But the emperor couldn't see what she was thinking, so he just asked slowly: "Go, don't you want to see me quarreling with my mother? I can't understand why my mother came to me. In order to avoid some disputes, I won't go there, and... I also told my mother not to go, Xuan Anran, she... will always be with me."

After finishing speaking, the emperor turned and went into the imperial study, and Nanny Chang turned and returned to Tianxuan Palace to return to her command.

Tianxuan Palace

The queen mother looked angry: "What? Did the emperor really say that?"

"Responding to what the Empress Dowager said, it's just that the emperor seems to be in a bad mood, so I can't come here now." Nanny Chang replied word by word.

"The emperor has been so abnormal recently, it must be because of that woman, Ai Jia is really mad at that woman." The queen mother remembered clenched her fists with her hands, and her face was extremely gloomy.

Guo Yucheng raised his head cautiously and said: "Queen Mother, the old minister said that the emperor intends to go his own way because of that woman, right? At the court this morning, the old minister said those words according to your instructions, but the emperor seems to have made up his mind. The prince has been persuading, but the emperor still chose to use violence to suppress the people, and now it seems that the situation is really bad."

"What did Jue Xigong say?" The queen mother rubbed her temples with a headache and frowned.

"King Rui'an didn't express his position, he didn't say anything, and it's hard to see what he was thinking." Guo Yucheng thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, the Ai family knows about this, you can go down." The queen mother waved her hand and sent Guo Yucheng away.

Nanny Chang handed over a hot towel: "Empress Dowager, please wipe your face, it seems that you are not in good spirits."

"That woman is really a nemesis. The emperor has been obedient and obedient since he was a child. He has never objected to Ai's family. Since he took the throne, he has greeted Ai's family every morning. Rain or shine, but now, just because of the past few days, Ai's family wants If he touches that woman, he will get angry with the Ai family, and he will not come for a few days. Now that the Ai family summons him, he still does not come, and the Ai family is really sad." The queen mother's voice was a little choked, even in the strong Women seem to have weaknesses, and for Empress Dowager He, the emperor is her only weakness.

"Empress Dowager, don't think too much. The emperor is just in a bad mood for the time being. Maybe it's not all because of that woman. If she is really obedient to that woman, then it's impossible that she is just a little nobleman, right? ? We might as well observe for a few days and see the situation before we talk." Mother Chang is worthy of being the queen mother's confidant, and what she said is very reasonable.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded helplessly: "Well, this is the only way to go now, but... Aijia is a little worried, those mobs were deliberately done by someone, and if the emperor suppresses them forcefully, I'm afraid things will get bigger and bigger."

Imperial study room

Ye Anran was dressed in sky blue tulle, and walked in gracefully, holding a tea tray in his hand: "Your Majesty, can my concubine come in?"

"Is it Anran? Come in?" The emperor was reading the memorials sent from various places, when he suddenly heard Ye Anran's voice, his heart felt sweet, and he immediately replied.

Afterwards, Ye Anran pushed open the door and walked in slowly, bowing profusely: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

"An Ran, what's in your hand?" The emperor stood up curiously like a child and asked with a smile.

Eunuch Zhu at the door couldn't help feeling entangled in his heart. He watched the emperor grow up, but he had never seen the emperor in such a good mood. Ever since Ye Anran entered the palace, the emperor seemed to have changed. Yes, just like a child , Even the smile is so natural.

However, Ye Anran's entry into the palace did cause a lot of trouble. Now the emperor is fighting against the courtiers and the people because of her. It can be said that he is besieged on all sides. Such a woman is really joyful and worrying.

"Your Majesty, guess what?" Ye Anran smiled playfully.

"Well, let me think about it, it's...tea?" The emperor seriously guessed.

Ye Anran shook her head...

"Then...is it tremella and lotus seed soup?" The emperor asked again.

Ye Anran still shook her head...

"This really stumps me, An Ran, please tell me." The emperor smiled gently.

"The emperor will never guess it, because this concubine invented it himself, it's called sweet-scented osmanthus." Ye Anran smiled lightly.

"Sweet osmanthus? What is sweet osmanthus?" The emperor was indeed stunned.

Ye Anran walked over, put the tea tray on the table, lifted the small lid of the purple clay pot and said slowly: "Please look at it, Your Majesty."

The emperor came over, bent down and looked down, and found that the purple sand pot was boiling thick, like soup.

"How...how is this made?" The emperor was a little curious, and took a sip from the spoon beside him as he asked.

The mouth is immediately sweet and smooth but not greasy...

Seeing the emperor's happy expression, Ye Anran continued to ask: "How does it taste?"

"The taste is very unique, but it is delicious. After drinking it, there is still a lingering fragrance in your mouth. It is really wonderful." The emperor did not hesitate to praise it.

"Then the concubine should tell the emperor, this concubine made it with the osmanthus cake from August Zhai in Yangzhou and boiled it with honey and morning dew for three hours." Ye Anran confessed frankly.

The emperor nodded frequently and praised: "Not bad, creative, I like it, then... can I have a few more sips?"

"If the emperor doesn't dislike it, the concubine will make it for the emperor every day, okay?" Ye Anran asked obediently.

After hearing this sentence, the emperor was suddenly moved. Since Anran entered the palace, the emperor has always been kind to Anran. This is the first time Ye Anran has done something for the emperor.

"Okay." The emperor's voice was a little moved.

Afterwards, the emperor sat down and drank the osmanthus sweet cooked by Ye Anran in small sips.

And Ye Anran was standing beside her, guarding her husband like a wife. Such a simple and warm scene became the most extravagant thing the emperor wanted in his life.

Although he is an emperor and the king of a country, what he wants is to hold his son's hand and grow old with a beloved woman just like ordinary people.

After the emperor finished drinking, Ye Anran knelt on the ground with a plop...

The emperor put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Ye Anran in surprise: "Anran, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine is guilty." Ye Anran said in a low voice.

"What's the crime?" The emperor was confused.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines heard today that the people blocked the palace gates to force the emperor to punish the ministers and concubines. As soon as the emperor came to power, the emperor had an unpleasant quarrel with the ministers for the sake of the ministers and concubines. The ministers and concubines felt ashamed, so they hoped to do something for the emperor. , Now the concubine made this bowl of osmanthus sweets, just to repay the emperor's kindness to the concubine, maybe... maybe the concubine will not have the opportunity to serve the emperor in the future, but the emperor's kindness to the concubine, the concubine will always remember it , I just ask the emperor... Tomorrow morning, I hope the emperor will hand over his concubines to the ministers and the people of the world, and the concubines don't want to miss the title of the emperor's Mingjun just because the concubine is a woman."

It turned out that Ye Anran had her own ideas long ago. When Mrs. Xuegui talked about this matter with her before, she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact, she was always thinking in her heart, thinking of a good way to advance by retreating, After all, it is impossible for the emperor to protect himself all the time, and he should preemptively strike. If the emperor really loves her, then she will take the initiative to ask for her life, which will make the emperor feel bad.

Although the emperor didn't say anything, everyone knew about this incident, so it's better for Ye Anran to push himself out and say such righteous words.

After the emperor listened, he was silent for a long time, and his eyes were extremely complicated...
