After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

In front of the city gate, Mr. Liu said that he had not slept well last night and refused the invitation of Xu Jijiu from the Imperial Academy to ride with him.

He's not in the mood to chat with anyone right now!

He and Madam Liu looked at each other, both silently listening to the follow-up of the soft voice.

Especially Mr. Liu, he doesn't admit it with his mouth, but his ears are very careful.

[Even if the emperor's father doesn't hang out in the harem now, he still has to give dignity to his mother who gave birth to a son and a daughter. 】

[So, he wanted to give his grandfather a chance for promotion this time, so he asked someone to ask you, "Pan, what should we do to control the water?" 】

Mr. Liu's face straightened.

He also wants to be promoted, firstly to do things for the people, and secondly, he also wants to earn face for his daughter!

My grandfather was promoted to a high position, and the fifth prince could not be looked down upon by others in the palace.

Mr. Liu immediately started thinking.

——Pan controls water, what should we do?

The emperor wanted to send him to dredge the Yellow River Basin?

This is to ask him, if he is sent there, how can he help Pan Ji, the river governor who was just promoted a few days ago?

While Mr. Liu was thinking about it, the palace chariot had already traveled far away.

Liu Bin's sedan chair, which was closest to them, also slowly left their sight.

[Grandpa, it would be great if you answered like this...]

The soft and waxy sound was getting farther and farther away and could not be heard clearly.

Mrs. Liu suddenly became anxious, "Master, are you sure? Can you answer it?"

"When I get to Qiu Shan, I'll find a way to see Liu Bin and Little Princess!"

Only when you are close can you hear your little granddaughter's heart.

Mr. Liu blew his beard and glared, "Don't scare little Princess!"

All the officials waited for the palace carriage to go away before they all got into their own carriages and started driving towards Qiu Shan.

As soon as the car curtain fell, the sound of horse hooves and wheels could be heard all the way.

The old couple of the Liu family spoke softly so that others could not hear them.

Master Liu thought about it and asked, "Does my daughter know about little Princess?"

Mrs. Liu hesitated, but quickly shook her head, "When Little Princess was full moon and I entered the palace, Chan Niang didn't seem to know, and the fifth prince didn't react at all. It seemed that I was the only one who could hear Little Princess's voice, and now there is also the master."

Mr. Liu was overjoyed and proud, "My granddaughter is kissing us!"

Mrs. Liu glared at him, "Then don't answer the wrong question in front of the emperor and embarrass little princess! Just demote yourself. At worst, you can go back to sell sweet potatoes. But if you involve your daughter and little princess, I will never end it with you!"

Master Liu waved his hand.

"'Pan Zhi Shui, what should we do?'... I know the content of the emperor's question in advance. I will prepare it for two days. Madam, don't worry, I won't get the answer wrong."

The emperor wanted to send him to control the water, so he went to drink tea with several civil servants at the river in the past two days and ask for advice.

"Let Zhang San buy some books for me, and I will study them all night."

Mrs. Liu was relieved when she heard this.

This preparation is sufficient.

It is much safer than giving a temporary answer.

Even if this is the case, the master still answered incorrectly, so it’s no wonder the emperor doesn’t like to use him.

The couple discussed it for a while and made a tacit agreement, "Since they don't know anything about Xiao Gege, you should know it and I should know it, and don't reveal anything about it."

If his granddaughter revealed the question to him, if the emperor knew about it, wouldn't it be cheating?

Mr. Liu, who wanted to be clever and win back the emperor's impression, insisted on keeping it a secret!

"If little princess talks about my daughter or the fifth prince, madam, you have to find a way to get into the palace and tell them."

"That's for sure!"

Two days later, the ancestor worship ceremony in Qiu Shan was successfully conducted under the auspices of the abbot of Qiu Shan Temple.

The emperor was to stay for three more days, eat vegetarian food and recite sacrificial rites, accompanied by hundreds of officials.

During this period, Xiao Yunzhou summoned many ministers to ask questions and deal with political affairs in front of the emperor.

Finally, on the third day, it was the turn of Mr. Liu who had been waiting for a long time.

The person who came to invite people turned out to be Wei Zheng, the eunuch in front of the imperial court.

Wei Zheng smiled and was not only respectful to the Liu family master along the way, but also invited the Liu family's old ladies to Liu Bin's place.

"Your Majesty is considerate. Not long after Concubine Liu gave birth, she missed her parents."

"So Master Liu and Mrs. Liu are allowed to have dinner at Concubine Liu's place first. An hour later, I will come to take Master Liu to the imperial palace."

Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were both a little startled.

They had already received the news that their daughter had been promoted to concubine.

But I didn't expect that the emperor would be so caring.

Master Liu was very pleased, but as soon as he followed Mrs. Liu into the side hall of the small courtyard where Concubine Liu stayed, he was struck like a thunder and was shocked to the spot.

[Grandpa, you are going to be unlucky today. 】

[Pan Zhi Shui, what should be done? You may have misunderstood! 】

[I’m not asking you at all, how should you help Pan Ji control the floods! If you answer in the direction of controlling the water yourself, that would be a big mistake! 】

Mr. Liu and Madam Liu were both dumbfounded.

Especially Madam Liu, she glared at her master!

What is sufficient preparation?

What is definitely okay?

Big fool!

"How..." Why don't you ask him about water control?

Mr. Liu was sluggish.

[Grandpa, you are the second-in-command in the Imperial College. The Imperial College is a place where future officials are trained. Why would the emperor ask you to control floods? 】

[Controlling water is not your responsibility. 】

['Pan Ji, what should we do to control the water?' The emperor is asking you. Pan Ji has the talent and was transferred to control the water. There is a vacant seat in the Hanlin Academy where he originally served. As the second-in-command of the Imperial College, do you think Ying Guogong, who is studying in the Imperial College, Third Young Master, how is this student Ying Qin? Can he be transferred to the Hanlin Academy to make up for Pan Ji's vacancy? 】

Mrs. Liu suddenly realized.

Mr. Liu was stunned, and then quickly blushed.

This is how the emperor’s question was answered!

He has completely misinterpreted it in the wrong direction. He is not as clear-minded as his granddaughter.

Xiao Chuchu whined in Liu Bin's arms, blushing and trying to make a gesture, but it was too difficult for her.

This cute little appearance made Liu Bin, a mother, unable to stand it and wanted to kiss her daughter hard.

"Chu Chu is so good."

Liu Channiang, who was now a concubine, suddenly changed her mind and looked at her father whom she had not seen for many years.

His eyes were slightly red, and he pointed out, "Dad, my daughter taught little Gege how to read this morning. She seems to be able to recognize the character '一'."

"It's nonsense, Ge Ge is still young! Don't encourage her, let her eat, sleep and play well."

Mr. Liu couldn't help but object.

Liu Channiang smiled and nodded, "People have different ideas in different positions. I used to complain that my mother was strict with me, but only after becoming a mother did I realize that both parents are for the best of their children."

"It can be seen that before doing anything, you must first understand your position and identity."

Master Liu was stunned.

Therefore, the emperor thought he was stupid.

It may seem like an understatement and a wrong answer, but it shows that he did not understand his responsibilities.

If you think about the problem in the wrong direction, no matter how hard you try, your efforts will be in vain.

Before the emperor asked him to go, he probably asked the Imperial Academy's Xu Jijiu the same question.

Naturally, they need to know very well the outstanding students in the school, who will be able to occupy what position in the future, and whether they can withstand trouble... all these must be clear.

If Xu Jijiu answered the emperor's question correctly, his answer was wrong.

It makes him look particularly stupid!

If a person in the Imperial College can't do anything well, where else can he be placed? How to give him a promotion! ?

Master Liu's family suddenly started sweating profusely.

so close!

In just one meal, people came to the front yard.

"The emperor summoned Liu Siye."
