Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Yu Shiming nodded with an ugly face and said with a serious expression:

"Take dad to see him."

Looking at his expression, Yu Qiaoqiao knew that there must be something important for his visit this time.

"Dad, please come this way."

As she spoke, she led the way, and Yu Shiming followed her with a solemn expression.

Leng Xi's wounds have healed a lot in the past few days. When Yu Shiming came in, he was able to sit up on the edge of the bed by himself.

"Prince Xi, have you recovered?"

Leng Xi frowned and looked at him, nodding in surprise.

"Master Yu came to Prince Xi's Mansion early in the morning. What important matter can't be accomplished?"

Yu Shiming sighed and ordered Qiaoqiao:

"Qiaoqiao, please go out and close the door. Dad and Prince Xi have a few words to say."

Yu Qiaoqiao nodded, quickly walked to the door, and closed the door from the outside.

When they were the only two people left here, Leng Xi asked in surprise:

"Master Yu, why is this?"

"Ugh!"

Yu Shiming let out a long sigh,

"I just came from the court. The emperor issued an order to reduce the positions of me and other officials, and directly demoted me three levels in a row. I am no longer a censor, just a small chief."

"what?"

Leng Xi looked at him with surprised eyes,

"Who has been demoted?"

"They are all your subordinates, and they have all been demoted."

Leng Xi's eyes instantly tightened and he murmured,

"It seems that Leng Yu wants to eradicate the root cause."

"Not only that, he was promoted to the second rank of Leng Ming Official, and all his people were promoted. Everyone in the court is his people. I asked him what position he would arrange for you, and he said that he would be alone It’s arranged, so I thought I’d tell you so you can be mentally prepared.”

Leng Xi's face darkened at this moment.

After pondering for a while, he clenched his fists and shook his head heavily.

"This result is not strange at all, that's all. Let him arrange it however he wants!"

"But...but he didn't announce the decree in the court and give you a reward. This is unfair to you. You have made meritorious service on the battlefield after all..."

"But I also almost rebelled. Do you think he doesn't know it? He has not directly ordered the raids on my home in Prince Xi's Mansion and sent me to all the people in Prince Xi's Mansion. He has been tolerant to me. I will treat it as atonement for my sins. How can I Do you dare to ask for anything else?"

"This……"

Yu Shiming suddenly felt depressed.

He sighed, clasped his hands and said:

"In that case, I'll leave first. I have to go back and prepare to take office. From now on, I can be my sixth-grade officer with peace of mind."

Seeing that Leng Xi didn't respond, Yu Shiming walked quickly towards the door with a cold face.

Seeing Yu Shiming coming out, Yu Qiaoqiao, who was waiting at the door, stepped forward in surprise and asked:

"Dad, do you want to leave?"

Yu Shiming glanced at her, sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Ugh……"

He just sighed and walked away, which made Yu Qiaoqiao curious.

When she came into the room, she saw Leng Xi frowning, holding his forehead with his hands, thinking about something.

She stepped forward, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"What did my father tell you?"

Leng Xi did not pick up the glass of water, but laughed at himself:

"He told me that he was demoted to a sixth-grade official, and he was blaming me for causing him trouble."

Yu Qiaoqiao was a little surprised. Her father's official position had always been stable in the court. Why was he suddenly demoted this time?

Leng Xi continued:

"Not only that, everyone related to me has been demoted. All the people under Leng Yu have been promoted to three levels. Even Leng Ming was promoted to three levels in a row and became a second-level minister."

At this point, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, murmuring secretly,

"It can be seen that if you follow the right master, your subordinates will eat meat, but if you follow the wrong master, everyone will suffer!"

"What about you? What do you want to do?"

Yu Qiaoqiao is now very afraid that he will have any inappropriate thoughts again.

Leng Xi lay down on the bed, looking at the top of the bed, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly,

"I don't want to think about anything right now. I just want to take care of my injuries. As long as my position as Lord Xi is still there and my business is still there, I can support the people under me and support this family."

His idea surprised Yu Qiaoqiao.

She looked at him blankly,

"You...you are thinking more broadly this time."

"Isn't this what you want?"

Yu Qiaoqiao was silent for a while, then nodded slowly,

"This is indeed the life I want. No fighting or talking, no thinking about things that don't belong to me, and a stable life. If you can think like this, I am very happy."

Leng Xi did not speak, but sighed secretly.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight, it’s that he is unable to fight.

What he had done was enough for Leng Yu to order his house to be raided several times, but Leng Yu did not take action against him.

Originally, he thought that the first thing Leng Yu would do after he ascended the throne was to take him down. But now it seems that Leng Yu didn't do that. He just treated him coldly. It seems that he still misses their brotherhood.

On the first day he went to court, he did not award him a reward in front of all the civil and military officials. This was both a punishment and a sign of tolerance for him. What rights did he have to fight for it?

……

Yangxindian

Leng Yu had just returned from the court. A Cai and A Hong learned that they had been made female officials, and they came to Leng Yu to express their gratitude.

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hands slightly.

"You all get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You don't need to thank me, you deserve this. You have taken care of the queen for many years, and you have endured hardships through wind and rain. Especially A Cai, I am sorry for you about the little twins!"

Hearing the emperor mention the names of the little twins, A Cai's calm mood was once again stirred up.

Her eyes were red and she bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty said this, you have destroyed this slave. What happened to the little twins is his destiny. No wonder others. You and the Queen have taken good care of A Cai over the years. If the Queen hadn't taken you in, A Cai would have been killed by now. Now that you are living on the street, how can you still dare to think about being a female official?"

Ah Hong also followed suit and said:

"A Cai is right. When our sisters were trapped and sold on the streets, if it hadn't been for the Queen's rescue, we really don't know what kind of life we ​​would have lived. The kindness you and the Queen have shown to us will be forever cherished in our lives. Nothing can be done in return.”

Seeing the two sisters mentioning what happened back then, Luo Lan nodded happily.

"You and I suffered a lot back then. Now it's time to enjoy some blessings. From now on, I don't want to interfere with the chores in the harem. You two should worry more about it. Also, you two will serve me during the day and at night. No more vigil.”

Hearing this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong both bowed and saluted.

"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."

At this moment, Qin Shun walked in quickly, bowed and saluted,

"Your Majesty, Prince Ming and Princess Ming are here."
