The dandies won the quarrel with the civil servants and were in a good mood to have fun together. Before Shi Chonghai's anger was over, they had already forgotten the matter.
Fortunately, although Shi Chonghai has been much prouder these days, his mind is not confused yet. He knows that it is useless to argue with these dudes, so he said to Rong Xia: "I forgot to congratulate Uncle Rong for his good fortune."
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Rong Xia responded with a smile.
"My uncle is young, and it is a good thing to have a good in-law family to help him."
These words are mocking Rong Xia for relying on the Ban family to get the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They are also mocking Ban Hua for not being a good match. Rong Xia only betrothed to such a woman for the sake of his official career.
Sometimes he sows discord too clearly. Many people know that he is sowing discord, but they are still affected and become a thorn in their hearts. Shi Chonghai's words had no good intentions. Any arrogant young man who hears these words will feel ashamed of being looked down upon.
Hearing this, Rong Xia smiled and bowed to Shi Chonghai, with a face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Prime Minister Shi, for being engaged to Princess Fule, it is indeed a high achievement for my juniors."
Shi Chonghai sneered, what a hypocrite who knew how to put on a show.
He had already found out what the engagement between Rong Xia and Princess Fule was about. But before the eldest princess died, she messed up a mandarin duck chart. The emperor felt that he owed the Ban family, so he asked Rong Xia to propose to the Ban family, and asked Princess Fule, who had been broken off three times and had a bad reputation, to get engaged. .
Now that His Majesty has promoted Rong Xia to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am afraid that a large part of the reason is to compensate Rong Xia for the "money for selling one's body".
There are only a few men in the world who can endure such humiliation. Sooner or later, there will be conflicts between Rong Xia and the Ban family. The Ban family has done their best for this son-in-law. When he is not in the court, they still let their friends take care of him. But they don't know how much love this future son-in-law can receive?
Rong Xia watched Shi Chonghai go away, straightened his sleeves, and walked out of the hall slowly, but he did not leave the palace, but went to Dayue Palace.
When Emperor Yun Qing saw Rong Xia, he sighed: "Jun Po is here, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Rong Xia saluted Emperor Yun Qing, he sat down peacefully.
"Now that Shi Chonghai is becoming more and more powerful, I don't want Li Chongyu from the previous dynasty to appear in our great cause." Emperor Yun Qing's face looked a little unhappy, "He has been too carried away recently."
Li Chongyu was a famous prime minister in the previous dynasty who had great power. Problems would easily arise if the ministers were strong and the master was weak. The political chaos in the late period of the previous dynasty started after Li Chongyu became the prime minister. After the change of dynasty, Emperor Daye, in order to avoid this happening, divided power between the left and right to stabilize the situation in the court.
Emperor Yun Qing is old. He clearly feels that he is old. He cannot sleep well at night, always dozes off during the day, and even his hearing has begun to deteriorate. He is full of panic in his heart, but he does not want to show it on his face.
Being in a high position, he was even more afraid of death and the loss of power in his hands. Emperor Yunqing was already dissatisfied with the prince, but he was even more dissatisfied with Shi Chonghai. As a father, he felt that his son could still be saved, and the real bad thing was leading the bad. His son's people.
He was eager to let Rong Xia take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, because he wanted his own people to control the official evaluation and not let Shi Chonghai dominate the situation. He is the emperor of Daye, and he does not want anyone to threaten his status, even if this person may be his son.
Rong Xia understood Emperor Yun Qing's thoughts. He stood up and saluted Emperor Yun Qing and said, "I will do my best not to disappoint His Majesty."
"I'm always at ease when you do things," Emperor Yun Qing patted Rong Xia on the shoulder happily, "If there are people in the official department who don't have a good eye, just tell me, I won't tolerate them."
Rong Xia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you personally sent Wei Chen there. They can't even hold Wei Chen up, so how can they be at odds with Wei Chen."
Emperor Yun Qing laughed out loud after hearing this: "Okay, then you go back and prepare for two days, spend more time with the girls from the Ban family, and officially take up the post in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in three days."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Rong Xia gave a big salute and exited the Great Moon Palace.
He didn't believe that the emperor really just said a few words to comfort him. He was hinting to him that those who wanted to hold Shi Chonghai down should not let him down.
The Ministry of Personnel... seems to be less important than the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, but in fact it is responsible for the evaluation of many officials. Those who are not the emperor's confidants cannot easily sit in the position of minister.
"Uncle Rong." Wang De chased after him, holding a box in his hand, "Uncle Rong, please stay."
"Mr. Wang," Rong Xia stopped and said to Wang De, "May I ask if you have any other instructions?"
"My uncle is very polite. Your Majesty heard that your uncle likes peacocks, so he asked your servant to give you this ornament." Wang De handed the brocade box to Rong Xia, "Your Majesty also said that your uncle will go back and have a good rest for a few days. There’s no need to go out of your way to express gratitude.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong Xia cupped her hands towards the palace, hugged the brocade box and left.
Wang De watched him go away with a smile. After seeing the figure, he returned to the inner hall and said to the emperor sitting at the head: "Your Majesty, my uncle has accepted the brocade box."
Emperor Yunqing was looking at a painting. When Wang De came in, he didn't even raise his head and asked, "How is Rong Xia's expression?"
Wang De shook his head: "You seem to be a little happy and grateful, but my eyes are too clumsy to see anything else."
"Yes." Emperor Yun Qing was finally willing to raise his head and said to Wang De, "What do you think Rong Xia thinks about Princess Fule?"
"Princess Fule is as beautiful as a fairy. Uncle Rong...maybe he likes her, right?" Wang De said a little uncertainly, "I heard that Uncle Rong accompanied Princess Fule a few days ago. Biezhuang saw the peacock..."
"Princess Fule also had a quarrel with a girl from the Shi family?" Emperor Yunqing said with a faint smile, "This girl from the Ban family can make me happy."
When he was dissatisfied with the Yan family, the Ban family happened to have a quarrel with the Yan family. Now that he is dissatisfied with the Shi family, Banhua can simply stop giving face to the Shi family girl. He knew that many people in the court did not dare to offend the Shi family because he was the prince's father-in-law and the future father-in-law. But these people forget that as long as he is the emperor, the prince will always be the prince.
Are these people eager to please the Shi family looking forward to his death?
Only the Ban family... always thought of his kindness. Even if the eldest princess died trying to save him, the Ban family never complained about him.
Just as he was thinking this, the **** guarding the door of the palace whispered: "Your Majesty, the people from the Jingting Palace asked to see you, saying that they have something for your Majesty."
Emperor Yun Qing was a little surprised that the Ban family didn't come to see him directly. What did they mean by sending others to come? This was actually a bit out of order.
"Xuan." However, Emperor Yun Qing already knew the Ban family's unruly character, and he didn't hesitate long before asking the **** to bring the person in. When he saw that the person who came in was Grandma Chang, who was serving the eldest princess, he couldn't help but stood up and said, "Mother Chang, why are you here?"
"My servant pays homage to Your Majesty." Grandma Chang gave a big salute.
"Mom, please get up," Emperor Yunqing asked Wang De to help Mammy Chang up, and said in a gentle tone, "Are you still used to living in Shuiqingna?"
"Thank you for your concern, your majesty. Everything is fine with me," Chang said with a smile. "The Duke and his wife treat me like a relative. Although I am serving the princess now, the princess is reluctant to let me do anything. The slave is so free now that she feels uncomfortable."
Mama Chang had no children. After the eldest princess passed away, Emperor Yunqing wanted to take her into the palace to take care of her in old age, but she was rejected by Nanny Chang. She said that the eldest princess could not let go of a pair of grandchildren. She can still move now, so she wants to serve the princess and the prince.
When Emperor Yunqing saw that the Ban family also intended to bring Nanny Chang into the Duke's Mansion, he stopped mentioning the matter. He knew that the Ban family would not treat his aunt's confidants lightly, so after hearing what Grandma Chang said, he smiled and said, "I know that they are people who value friendship. Grandma can live a good life in the Duke's Mansion. I’m relieved too.”
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is concerned. I am here today to run errands for the princess." A helpless smile appeared on Aunt Chang's face, as if she didn't know how to speak, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"This girl Huahua is just like my own child. If you have anything to say, please tell me directly. There is no need to be polite to me." Emperor Yunqing saw that Chang was embarrassed on her face, but instead advised her, "Mommy just said You may not be used to it when you come to Ban's house. Although they act... a bit casually, their intentions are good. Mammy, please don't put yourself in any trouble."
"Your Majesty said this, this servant is relieved." Aunt Chang took out an oil paper bag from her arms, and after unfolding it, there was a pair of sugar figures. Although the sugar figures were not wearing dragon robes and phoenix skirts, their expressions Look, you can tell at a glance that this is Emperor Yunqing and the Queen.
"When the princess went out today, she met a candy maker who was very skilled in making candy. She made a lot of candy figures, and the couple had to be sent in by the slave. The slave..." Grandma Chang smiled bitterly, " The princess is young and ignorant, please forgive her for such a ridiculous behavior."
Emperor Yunqing asked Wang De to bring the candy man over, looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "How many candy men has this girl made?"
Nanny Chang thought about it carefully, "There are about seven or eight, and I am lucky enough to get one."
"There are four members of the Ban family, one for you and one for me and the Queen." Emperor Yun Qing nodded and said with a smile, "It's quite interesting. Wang De, please send this to the Queen's Palace."
"Yes." Wang De took the oil paper bag with a smile, put it in an exquisite small box, and then held it with both hands and went to the Queen's side.
The emperor thought this gadget was very interesting. The most important thing was the sincerity. Huahua regarded him and the queen as her own family members, so she thought of them in everything.
My love for her has not been in vain these years.
As an emperor, what does he lack? What he lacks is this sincerity.
Others don’t understand why he favors Huahua so much. Why don’t these people treat him sincerely like Huahua?
