Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 378 Lobbying
"Of course I know that this father-in-law has good intentions, but when I returned to the court, the high priest of the Xiliang tribe also helped me. If it weren't for her, I might have died at the hands of evil people. So, I can only help this Concubine Yan as much as I can. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring. If this king is ruthless and unjust, then if there is trouble next time, won't everyone just sit back and ignore her? "Feng Yong smiled wryly.

Li Sheng suddenly realized: "No wonder, the lord is also very polite to the concubine Yan... The lord is naturally a kind and righteous person, but this repayment depends on the emperor's thoughts, right? Naturally, I don't want the prince to help. Besides, although the emperor is a little angry, he has never given what he should give. It's just a matter of anger with the concubine Yan. ...

What's more, the matter between Concubine Yan and the emperor still needs to be looked at by Concubine Yan.The slave didn't know why the concubine Yan refused to attend the bed and drove the emperor away again and again, but the slave knew that as long as this concubine entered the palace, she was the emperor's woman.Honor, future, rewards, etc., all depend on the emperor.Thinking about those unimportant things and people is delaying yourself and your family.

Like Concubine Ning, it is also the joy of the boudoir to refuse and welcome, but Concubine Yan is like hitting an egg with a rock.Everyone is from the tribe. If the emperor gets angry and blames the tribe, it will happen like last time.The harem is the same as the former dynasty. What everyone wants, besides doing their own things well, the main thing is to please the emperor, isn't it? "

"What the father-in-law said is naturally very reasonable, but the king doesn't know what the problem with the concubine Yan is, so I can only be anxious. You just talk about the matter of serving the bed, which is something we can be anxious about. Did you come here? This king just thinks that where he can help, he will try his best to help, so as not to let Concubine Yan be bullied by others in the palace. As for the others, this king is also powerless.

Can we teach such things as serving the bed?Besides, it has always been the case in the palace, where only the newcomers laugh and the old ones cry.The newcomer will be here soon, and Concubine Yan thinks clearly that she must be favored recently in order to have her own status.As for the rest, we can't help you either.What the empress thinks, only the empress knows, do you think this is the reason? "Feng Yong smiled wryly.

Li Sheng nodded: "If the prince can see this clearly, then it is naturally the best. I also know that in the palace, all the concubines are our masters, but we don't have the energy to take care of everyone. Isn't it? The slave also saw that the prince is a good person and a dedicated person, so he reminded the prince not to waste time.

Besides, the prince works for the emperor, and there will be more opportunities for promotion in the future, so why violate the emperor's taboo? "

Feng Yong looked at Li Sheng and felt that Li Sheng was like herself who lobbied Wei Huaqing back then. Could it be...

"My lord, this is the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Eunuch Li."

"See Your Majesty."

"Eunuch, why should you be so polite? We are all our own people. I am honored to work with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am very happy in my heart."

"Look at what the prince said. Since the emperor has asked the prince to be responsible for the draft, he trusts the prince. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs is just assisting. Besides, the draft in the past was also organized by the Queen Mother or the Empress. Now the Queen Mother does not ask these questions The Queen has not yet performed the canonization ceremony, so it is only natural that the Emperor chooses to let the Prince take charge. Naturally, we in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will try our best to assist the Prince. We hope that the Prince will not dislike us for not doing things well. "

"You're welcome, father-in-law. Although the drafts were organized by the Queen Mother or the Empress in the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always assisted from the side. In terms of this experience, who among the civil and military officials of the dynasty can compare with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Your Majesty chooses this king. It’s nothing more than a responsible name.”

"My lord's words are wrong. In this draft, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already noticed that something is wrong. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is willing to obey the orders of my lord."

"Could Eunuch Li have found out about this draft..."

"What the lord said, how could the little one not know? This is just a kindness to those veterans. The old ministers have worked hard for the court all their lives. Once they retire and return home, the marriage of the ladies will be the most troublesome issue at that time. Moreover, according to the etiquette system, the daughter of a veteran minister who has retired from her old age does not have the right to be drafted, and this draft is completely due to the great grace of the emperor, so those adults in the dynasty did not come to mix in."

"It's good for my father-in-law to understand. It's just that this draft is a gift from the emperor. It's just that there are some adults in this court, and some still don't give up. They seek to see each other outside the palace every day, which makes me a headache."

"Hey, I shouldn't say something. Those adults are ignorant. If the emperor wants to choose a talent from the family of the current adults, why bother to spend so much trouble?"

"That's right, this really gives me a headache."

"Why does the prince have a headache? If the prince doesn't know how to deal with those adults, just leave it to the younger ones. If the emperor is inconvenient to say, and the prince is inconvenient to say, the younger one will help to say it. When the adults understand the emperor's thoughts, then they I won't be begging to see you at the gate of the prince's mansion every day."

"Then I would like to thank my father-in-law very much. My father-in-law has really helped me a lot."

"What are you so happy about?"

"This is Princess Lan Xin, isn't it? Li Sheng, the little housekeeper, has seen Princess Lan Xin."

"So it's Eunuch Li from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Did I interrupt your discussion? Then I'll go back first."

"Look at what the princess said, there is no need to bother or not. You are the princess now, the emperor's righteous sister, and you will be the prince's concubine in the future. You are one of your own. Why don't you bother? We are just talking about the draft It is the emperor's marriage, and as the righteous sister, the princess can naturally hear it."

"Elder-in-law treats me as one of my own, but you are so polite, you really don't feel that I am your own. Actually, I have nothing to do, but didn't I go to a makeup shop today? After I came back to try it out, I found that the The makeup powder is good, and the products for internal use are also very good, so I thought, the Queen’s Wife is going to be crowned empress soon, so I have to give some congratulatory gifts or something. But I feel a bit shabby when I only give these, so I want to discuss it."

"The princess is joking, the empress is your concubine, how could she dislike the shabby things you gave me? Besides, the princess has seen the world, and if the princess says it is easy to use, it is naturally good. To the empress, wouldn’t that warm the empress’s heart? I remember the last time some empresses in the palace were still saying that the makeup in this palace was tired, and the tribute items were good, but the quantity was too small. You are worrying. If the princess sends these things in, if the empress thinks it is useful, then our Ministry of Internal Affairs will go to buy them, and you will solve the big problem of our Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Father-in-law, you are being polite. I just bought it casually. The emperor's sister-in-law is not sure what she thinks. Why is the father-in-law thanking you? It really hurts me. Since the father-in-law said so, I will ask the shopkeeper to make better bags." , When it’s time for canonization, give it to the emperor’s sister-in-law for a try.”

"Princess's eyesight is very good. If the princess still feels shabby, she can add some exquisite accessories. The little one thinks that the empress is too frugal on weekdays, so she doesn't wear jewelry very much. Except for large-scale events, otherwise, the dress will have nothing to do with it." There is no difference between ordinary young masters. If the princess can give some special jewelry that is suitable for daily life, then the empress will definitely like it very much."

"Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law."

"By the way, Eunuch Li, I have seen these rosters and portraits. There is no problem. Can I trouble Eunuch to bring them into the palace for the emperor to have a look at?"

"Your Highness is polite, but it's just a matter of raising your hands. Besides, if you don't do anything, don't you want to go back to the palace? It's just to bring something for your Highness. Your Highness is too polite."

"These are the hard work for the father-in-law to drink tea. The father-in-law has worked hard inside and outside the palace."

"Your Highness is polite."

"Then I won't send Eunuch off. I will take the princess out to look at the jewelry. Eunuch be careful all the way. After a long time, send Eunuch Li out."

"My lord is very polite, I don't need anyone to see me off, the little ones can go by themselves."

"There are so many things, and you need someone to help you carry them out. Come on, after a long time, don't you hurry up and catch up with your eunuch?"

"Oh, isn't this the prince? Little Li Sheng, see the prince."

"Why is Eunuch Li acting like this? This king doesn't know what to say. I said it a long time ago. We are all on our own, so there is no need to be so polite. If Eunuch Li continues to behave like this, then this king will not dare to come here in the future."

"What the lord said is small, isn't it, the lord should not come."

"Just kidding, Eunuch Li is safe and sound. No matter what happens to me, I can't stop coming, right? But today, I really have something to do when I come to see you."

"If the prince has anything to do, it's okay to say it. Even if the younger ones go through fire and water, let the prince handle it."

"Eunuch is just joking, this king is also some trivial matters. Eunuch also knows that this king actually has his own servants in the mansion, and this own servant will arrive soon, and the person lent to me by the emperor is also there, so I want to Ah, the palace is going to be drafted soon, and there will definitely be more people to employ in the future. There are only the king and the princess in the palace, and we don't need so many people. Why don't we arrange those people back to the palace, so that we can do our best for the emperor. Father-in-law, do you think so?"

"My lord, what you said is right. It's just that these people were rewarded by the emperor. They didn't come back just because the slave said they would. The slave is just in charge. If the prince borrowed from the slave If the prince said so, the servant would definitely call him back immediately. But these were granted by the emperor, and even the slave status has been transferred to the Huiwen Palace, so the slave really has nothing to do."

"So that's the case. It's my king who made things difficult for my father-in-law. Is it my king's fault? In fact, I don't have any other ideas. This king is naturally happy with this reward from the emperor. It's just that I just saw it, and the empress's wife in the palace There are only a few of them, and there are so many people in this prince's mansion, it is too much. The empress is so frugal, we should learn from it, don't you think so, father-in-law?"

"The empress is indeed very frugal. The emperor ordered to rebuild the Jingyang Palace. It was originally intended to be a decoration for the pepper room, but the empress thought it was too extravagant and refused. If it is another empress, I am afraid that she will not be happy if she is happy. The joy of Jiaofang, what a face it is."

"Maybe this is the reason why Empress Empress is Empress Empress. Empress Empress, who is diligent, respectful, and humble, is the candidate for motherhood."

"That's natural. The queen empress naturally has her unique advantages. Besides, the empress empress is the emperor's first wife. She shares joys and sorrows and sleeps in the same bed. For such a long time, even if there is no unique place, the feelings are still there. , is naturally irreplaceable.”

"It's still Eunuch Li who can speak. I'm the stupidest king. I just can't say something so nice. I don't know if there will be any conflict in my words when I just talked with the empress. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little worried."

"My lord, you don't have to worry so much. The empress is tolerant and generous, and she is not a person who cares about everything. Even if there is something wrong with the lord, the empress will not blame her."

"Oh, I'm still worried. Otherwise, I'll buy something and apologize to the Empress. I just don't know what the Empress likes, so I don't dare to buy it randomly. My father-in-law has been in the palace for so long, but I know what the Empress likes. Woolen cloth?"

"You are really embarrassing this slave. The empress is usually thrifty. Most of the monthly money is sent back to her mother's house, and she only keeps a little for herself. Even so, she never embarrasses the internal affairs. Therefore, the servant really doesn’t know what the Empress Dowager likes. But recently, something happened to the Empress Empress’ brother, and she needs money urgently. They were all sent out.”

"It seems that the empress is really a good master, but this mother's family is really not up to the mark. But the emperor was promoted to the position of the empress's mother's family before, and he also rewarded a lot of things. Isn't that enough? What's the big deal? To be honest, the empress's brother is the emperor's brother-in-law, he is a relative of the emperor, how can he be so short of money?"

"Oh, you don't know, my lord, the empress's brother, Mr. Qin Yan, is a man who lives up to his name and has a very hot temper. He also likes to gamble a few times and go shopping in brothels on weekdays. Some time ago, After the gambling, he lost everything, owed a whole lot of debt to the casino, and went shopping in a brothel, and ended up in a conflict with Hu Ning, the son of Mr. Hu Yunhu from the Ministry of Industry. He accidentally beat Mr. Hu to death. Now, Mr. Qin is still locked in the prison. Naturally, the empress took the money in to clear up the relationship, so that Mr. Qin can suffer less. He is still busy begging the emperor and Master Hu for forgiveness. It can be said that he is in a state of distress Busy. You said, my lord, how can such a good person, the Empress, have such an unworthy younger brother, not only hurting the whole family, but also dragging down the Empress. The Empress has finally improved, and now, What a crime."
