Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

After the palace banquet, Yun Xi's life seemed to have returned to its former peace.

Yun Xi was naturally relieved to let her son Xiuqi's studies be tutored by his senior brothers.

She would often go to Tai Academy in person to discuss studies with her senior brothers and check Xiuqi's studies. Sometimes, she would also share her own views on how to educate the prince with her senior brothers. And the senior brothers also liked to discuss with her. Because some of Yun Xi's ideas often surprised them.

"Yun Xi, you have such unique insights into the prince's education, which is really impressive!" The senior brother who came later exclaimed in admiration.

"Haha, you're too kind! I'm just giving you some suggestions." Yun Xi said modestly with a smile.

"But these suggestions are very practical and inspiring. We have never thought of educating the prince in this way before." The fourth brother looked serious.

"Yes, Yun Xi's ideas are always so novel and we benefit a lot from them." The third senior brother echoed.

Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a little proud when she heard the compliments from her senior brothers. My experience gained from thousands of years of internal circulation is certainly not bad.

Of course, Yun Xi would not be so proud as to lose her mind just because of their few words of praise.

She knew very well that her cleverness was just a bit of wisdom from later generations, and was far behind the profound knowledge of her senior brothers.

While they were teaching Xiuqi, Yunxi also arranged some time for herself to study with Xiuqi. After all, being in a high position, the more knowledge of this dynasty she knew, the better.

No one knew when it started, but rumors about Queen Yunxi suddenly spread in the palace, saying that her relationship with her senior brother was too close and violated court etiquette.

These rumors initially circulated among the palace maids and eunuchs, but soon spread throughout the entire palace.

"Do you know? The Queen drove away the previous husband just to make room for her senior brother." A young eunuch said in a low voice.

"I heard that the Queen meets with her senior brother every day and can't miss him for a day." Another palace maid echoed.

"I also heard that when the Queen and my senior brother met, the door was always closed." Another palace maid added.

"Alas, poor prince, he still has to cover up for the queen." Someone sighed and shook his head.

"It seems that the Queen had a very good relationship with her senior brother before she married the Emperor?" someone asked curiously.

"I heard that the fourth senior brother gives the queen a lot of pocket money every year." Someone said enviously.

"The Queen is so powerful! She doesn't allow the Emperor to take a concubine, but she recruits so many of his senior brothers into the palace... It's totally against public morals!" someone accused angrily.

These rumors changed people's views on Queen Yunxi, and those who once respected her now began to doubt whether she was really as promiscuous as the rumors said.

Those who had always been jealous of her took the opportunity to add insult to injury, hoping to use this opportunity to damage her reputation. …

These rumors came from nowhere and soon spread throughout the entire court.

"Queen, how could these people be so excessive!"

After hearing this, Shengxia felt very sorry for Yunxi. She widened her eyes, her face full of indignation.

Every time the Queen and her senior brother were together, they had people present, and the Crown Prince was often there too. Every time the Queen was very polite and courteous.

It is really infuriating that such rumors are spreading out of nowhere now.

Yun Xi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sneer.

"Go and check who spread the rumor!" Yun Xi said softly.

The draft hasn't even started yet, but are you already so impatient to spread rumors?

If they knew it wasn't a talent show, they would probably make a big fuss. Thinking of this, Yun Xi frowned even more tightly, thinking secretly about how to deal with this sudden change.

The court where Xiao Chenyi was located was also in chaos at this moment.

The ministers were talking to each other, and the whole court was filled with noise and chaos. Some looked anxious, some looked panic-stricken, and some were blaming and arguing with each other.

Xiao Chenyi stood in the center of the court, watching all this with a serious expression.

After a while, seeing that they were still arguing and the situation was getting more intense, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and said loudly: "My dear ministers, please be quiet!"

The loud and solemn voice echoed in the court. Everyone stopped arguing and turned to look at him.

Xiao Chenyi kept a straight face and continued, "Have you forgotten? This is the imperial court!"

Suddenly, the court was silent.

Seeing that they had stopped quarreling, Xiao Chenyi sneered and said, "If you have a certificate, submit it. If you don't have one, return it. If you want to quarrel, go home and quarrel."

As he finished speaking, the ministers paused for a moment and then gathered in groups of three or two to discuss seriously.

Xiao Chenyi suppressed his anger and tried to wait patiently.

Half an hour later, ministers wrote letters of advice one after another, strongly urging the emperor to reorganize the harem.

They believed that the chaotic situation in the harem seriously affected the stability of the court and the dignity of the royal family, and decisive measures must be taken to rectify it.

Some ministers took the opportunity to call on the emperor to strengthen the management of the harem and strictly select concubines to ensure that they have noble character and good behavior.

Some ministers even suggested that the emperor should strengthen the education and management of palace maids and eunuchs to improve their quality and service level.

The officials rushed to speak one after another, and their voices were so loud that it seemed to shake down the entire palace.

They seemed to have forgotten their identity and status, no longer paying attention to etiquette and rules, and just kept shouting loudly, trying to make the emperor hear their opinions.

This chaotic scene shocked and disappointed Xiao Chenyi: Am I too kind to them?

"Your Majesty, the Queen's behavior is really too much!" said a minister with great sorrow.

"Yes, Your Majesty, those four outsiders are in the palace every day, meeting the Queen and having close contact with her... Isn't this a disgrace to society? Your Majesty, please forgive me, I really can't say it..." Another minister echoed, with a look of resentment on his face.

"Your Majesty, none of us knows the level of the Queen's senior brothers. How about letting the ministers test them first?" Another minister suggested with a righteous look on his face.

"Your Majesty, you can't decide the prince's husband based on the queen's one-sided statement alone! This concerns the prince's growth, so you have to be cautious! I'm so worried that the prince will be delayed by them." A minister said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, the Queen, as the head of a country, cannot have casual contact with outside men. I suggest that Your Majesty let the nanny of the previous dynasty teach the Queen the etiquette of a head of a country. How can the mother of a country be disrespectful?" said a minister righteously.
