Chapter 199: Pitting the Emperor
Chapter 199: Pitting the Emperor
An Xiang had already appeared on the second floor of Yuxiang Tower, pointing at Xu Jinyu and the others and laughing.
"Hahaha······"
Emperor Xuan, who was standing behind Prime Minister An, smiled with satisfaction as he watched the five people running quickly below.
"Well done, An Xiang."
An Xiang smiled modestly: "I really didn't do this. I just took advantage of the situation. There is a shop specializing in fighting cocks on this street, and they just happened to have a batch of trained fighting cocks delivered to them."
"Everyone was running too fast just now, so they bumped into each other."
"Your Majesty, are you sure you don't want to open the door?"
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
The five people below had been chased by the rooster and had to run around again.
He looked even more embarrassed than the official just now.
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "No need. Look, they are running very energetically, aren't they?"
"But that's a fighting cock. What if your highness gets hurt?"
"They won't get hurt. Don't they have internal guards? Since they are so idle, let them run more."
Then a strange thing happened on this street today.
A group of fighting cocks chased five people on a brothel street.
I heard that among those five people there were a prince and two princesses.
The crowd of onlookers surrounded the entire street.
In the end, Xu Jinyu and his friends ran back and forth across the street eight times before they got rid of the group of fighting cocks.
The five people were sweating and sitting on the ground exhausted.
[The old emperor is not a human being. He ordered all officials to close the doors and windows and refused to let us in.]
[Since he loves to laugh at jokes, I will dig up his dark history and spread it to the whole world. I will also ask the prince and Wuyang to report him. If I can't get him killed, I won't be named Xu.]
[Ouch! This is so inhuman...]
Xu Jinyu was cursing passionately below. Wei An and the prince were exhausted from running and were too lazy to stop Xu Jinyu.
Anyway, Emperor Xuan is just angry for a while. As the saying goes, one anger makes you ten years younger. Your Majesty should just treat it as physical exercise.
The civil and military officials listened happily and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Only Lord Xu dares to scold His Majesty so openly.
Emperor Xuan: "????"
Sure enough, every time I tricked Xu Jinyu, there were sequelae, and they were not small.
Emperor Xuan has recalled his dark history, and from today on, the defense outside Princess Tai'an's mansion will be doubled.
So as to prevent Xu Jinyu from spreading his dark history.
And below, Xu Jinyu has already started to take action.
"Wuyang, your father dislikes your mother's big feet. He has told other beauties more than once that your mother's feet are too big."
"What! How could Father do this!"
Princess Wuyang's face turned red with anger.
"Not only does he dislike it, your father even compares it to others. For example, my beauty, your feet are so small and delicate, unlike Concubine Hui's feet which are too big."
"And my beauty, your feet are white and soft, unlike Concubine Hui's feet which are always covered with calluses..."
[Don't you know that women hate it most when men compare them to other women? Concubine Hui was often ridiculed by other concubines for this, but she could never find out who was telling the concubines about her feet everywhere.]
[She combed her palace over and over again, but couldn't find the person who leaked the secret, and was so angry that she jumped to her feet. ]
[The emperor is also a troublemaker. Concubine Hui is a good dancer. For people who dance all year round, most of their skills are in their feet. It is impossible for their feet to look good. Unless Concubine Hui stops dancing from now on.]
Princess Wuyang glared at Yuxianglou angrily, and went back to complain to her mother, telling her mother that her father allowed the big rooster to chase her and refused to save her.
Prime Minister An's eyelids twitched. His Majesty's hard days were coming.
At least the concubines in the harem were about to start fighting, and during this period, Emperor Xuan had to put out fires everywhere.
"Your Highness, I heard from the inner guards that your father complained to Eunuch Liu that your mother was cold to him and didn't act like a wife at all. Eunuch Liu wanted to plug his ears after hearing this."
The inner guard twitched his mouth, and the scapegoat inner guard came online.
"I don't dare to dream when I go to sleep at night, for fear that I might accidentally let something slip."
Zi Shuyan showed a faint smile.
Very good, the emperor not only complained about the concubines, but also complained about his mother.
After returning to the palace today, he had something to talk about with his mother.
"cough····"
Prime Minister An coughed. Fortunately, His Majesty had the tact to not complain to the concubines, otherwise the Queen's prestige would have been completely lost.
[The emperor has so many things to do. Isn't the most important thing for the queen to manage the harem? Does the emperor want the queen to compete for favor with the concubines in the harem? ]
[Then I will take care of whoever is favored, and whoever is pregnant. The main thing is that I love you deeply, and the rest are all coquettish and slutty. It would be best if I could leave no grass in the harem, that would be called passion.]
[Just like in that movie, the queen directly set up an abortion team and almost made the emperor extinct. ]
[I just don't know if the emperor can handle this kind of enthusiasm. ]
Emperor Xuan shuddered and shook his head frantically.
I can’t stand it! He really can’t stand a queen like that!
The current queen is better. Although she is a little cold to him, she handles his harem properly so that he doesn't have to worry at all.
[Although the emperor looks reliable, he is a real chatterbox.]
Xiang An couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Your Majesty is a chatterbox. Where did you get this conclusion?
Your Majesty has been mature and prudent since he ascended the throne, and the Emperor has done everything without question. It is no exaggeration to say that he has brought new life to Daqian.
[He complained to other concubines about Hui Fei's big feet, and then complained to Hui Fei that this concubine was too thin. It was annoying. That concubine was too talkative. He wanted to shut her up.]
[Anyway, he can find faults with any concubine. As long as she is beautiful, that's all. He has a lot of problems.]
Prime Minister An: He is indeed a bit talkative. Your Majesty is afraid that his concubines cannot fight back, right?
But it’s nothing if she just gossips in the harem.
Emperor Xuan opened his mouth again and again. He was not talking nonsense at all. Xu Jinyu was just talking nonsense.
It was just a normal conversation.
The point is normal.
Otherwise, what did he say to the concubine?
[And...hahahaha...I didn't expect the emperor would also...]
Xu Jinyu could no longer speak, so Emperor Xuan gave an order: "Send Princess Tai'an back home."
[Ouch! I am dying of laughter, Emperor...Emperor...]
"Princess, His Majesty has ordered me to take you back home."
The appearance of the Imperial Guards suddenly interrupted Xu Jinyu's gossip.
Emperor Xuan often breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what Xu Jinyu was going to say, he knew that something that could make Xu Jinyu laugh like that must be something big.
He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the officials.
The next morning, Xu Jinyu asked for leave and did not go to court. She still had some sense, as she had tricked the emperor yesterday. Although the emperor had retaliated, the matter would not end like this.
The remaining accomplices of Xu Jinyu also asked for leave, but each of them had a different reason.
Wuyang has to comfort his mother, and Zishuyan not only has to comfort his mother, but also has to coax his Crown Princess.
As for Wei An, the lowest-ranking official, he was besieged by all the officials who had been deceived.
No one did anything excessive. If they did, who knows if Lord Xu would retaliate if he found out.
Everyone just quietly condemned Wei An.
"Why don't you rise with the wind and soar up to the sky?"
"You are not worthy of being a son of man!"
"I draw a circle on the ground, and wish you eternal sleep."
"You are a Zhongshan wolf, and you will be rampant when you succeed!"
·····
All these words are particularly elegant.
What could Wei An do? He could only stay there and let everyone scold him.
It's better to just scold them than for these people to attack you from behind and kill you.
But···But····
They cursed so politely that he felt like laughing. What should he do?
Then the official who condemned Wei An saw Wei An's face twitching, and he was struggling between laughing and not laughing.
The official who reprimanded him: “!!!!”
"Shuzi!"
