I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court
Chapter 129: Court Game
The old lady's words awakened the angry concubine. She blinked blankly and said, "You are right... I can't lose my composure. My Jin'er is still young. He can't live without me."
The old nanny saw that the concubine's eyes had regained clarity and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes, there will be a way."
"You're right, there is a way, there will be a way."
The concubine tried to comfort herself by muttering like this. The old nanny hugged her lovingly and slowly walked into the bedroom.
"You should get some sleep first, so that you can have enough energy to deal with them."
As the concubine was coaxed to rest, Taihe Palace returned to peace again.
But it’s not so quiet in Taikun Palace.
At this time, the little emperor was kneeling outside asking to see Queen Mother Shang, and the guards and palace maids with him were all kneeling on the ground.
Queen Mother Shang was reading files inside. She stood still despite the flickering candlelight. On the contrary, the old nanny was a little restless and kept looking outside.
"Madame Yu, you are upset."
"Master, the young emperor is kneeling outside." Nanny Yu looked helpless. She also wanted to be calm, but how could she be calm when the emperor was kneeling outside.
"Just kneel down. Anyway, I can't agree to what he proposed." Queen Mother Shang calmly turned a page.
Nanny Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, you and the young emperor are already separated by a belly, it's not good to make things too awkward."
"He wants to intercede for Liu Yanzhou. If he really takes Liu Yanzhou away, I will be the one who has a hard time in the future."
Nanny Yu was filled with worry, not knowing what to do: "It's no good just leaving it alone like this. Your Majesty is still young and can't handle this."
"Okay, keep an eye on the situation outside. If the little emperor leaves, then forget it. If he refuses to leave, prepare some snacks and hot tea for him in the middle of the night, or take him to the courtyard to rest.
After all, I was asleep and didn’t know anything.”
"Yes." Nanny Yu bowed slightly, and then sighed helplessly: "The Queen is so good to His Majesty, why not let His Majesty know, so that His Majesty won't be hurt."
"Oh, I don't ask for anything else, just don't go against me." Queen Mother Shang turned around and asked without any hope, "Where's Yan'er? I haven't seen her for a long time. What is she doing?"
"The princess heard that there is a new dance among the people, and she has been busy preparing it these days."
Queen Mother Shang shook her head: "When will this girl grow up?"
"Since you have the protection of the Queen and the General Zhennan, it's better for the princess to be more straightforward."
"She will get married sooner or later, so it's time to settle down." Queen Mother Shang put down the file, "Send someone to bring her back tomorrow. The court is not peaceful these days, don't let her run around outside."
"Yes." Nanny Yu bowed, and then helped Queen Mother Shang go back to the inner room to wash up and go to bed.
At midnight, the little emperor was still kneeling outside. He only felt numb pain in his knees. Although it was summer and he had servants serving him, mosquitoes still kept biting him. He felt upset, but had to hold on for the sake of his breath.
At this moment, Queen Mother Shang's personal attendant, Yu Ma, came out and sent someone to bring snacks and hot tea.
The little emperor was originally very happy, for he thought he had finally won the game with his mother, but Nanny Yu only came to serve him tea and snacks.
He couldn't help but curl his lips: "I don't want to eat it, you take it away."
"Your Majesty." The nanny sighed helplessly, "Even if you want to be angry, you can't be so hard on your body. It's not worth it to starve to death. The queen has gone to bed, she doesn't know that I came out, and of course no one here will tell a word."
The little emperor pursed his lips and said nothing.
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby immediately responded with insight: "Your Majesty, we heard nothing and saw nothing."
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to the other courtyard to rest for a while, and then come out to wait for the Empress when the time is almost up. What do you think?" Nanny Yu followed the instructions of Queen Mother Shang and silently took care of the little emperor.
The little emperor finally said nothing. He stood up staggeringly and walked ahead proudly. At the end, he turned back and said to the palace maids and eunuchs: "Don't talk too much, or I will exterminate all nine generations of your clan."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we didn't see anything." Everyone crawled to the ground in panic.
The little emperor finally went into the yard next door with satisfaction, ate and drank, and took a nap. He came out and continued kneeling when it was almost dawn.
Not long after, Queen Mother Shang washed up and came out to attend court.
She glanced at the little emperor who was still kneeling beside her and said calmly, "It seems that the emperor is not going to attend court today."
"Mother." The little emperor frowned, "Your Highness has something to tell you."
"We'll talk about it next morning."
"What I want to say concerns human life. It is extremely urgent."
Queen Mother Shang sneered upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, what you said is true, but if I don't listen, it will only affect one life, but if the emperor doesn't attend court, it will affect millions of people. May I ask the emperor, which is more important?"
"But... that's my great uncle."
"He is your great-uncle, but what about the people of Daliang? Aren't they your Majesty's subjects? There are so many government affairs waiting for your Majesty to handle, but your Majesty treats the people as nothing just because you are angry with me. How is this different from a tyrant?"
In the end, the emperor was so ashamed of what Queen Dowager Shang said that he followed her to court in shame.
However, Liu Qiu was not idle in the court either. He took the opportunity to apologize for his younger brother, on the grounds that the elder brother is like a father.
"Although I don't know why my brother was detained by the Censorate, I believe that he must have committed an unforgivable crime to have caused the Censorate to take action. As his elder brother, I feel that I have not disciplined him strictly. Please, Your Majesty, detain me and punish me as well."
"Grandfather..." The little emperor's word "grandfather" was stuck in his throat. He subconsciously glanced at the pearl curtain and silently changed his words: "My dear minister, what nonsense are you talking about? You haven't done anything wrong. How can I punish you together with me? Besides, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice hasn't convicted anyone. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding and it will be resolved soon."
"Your Majesty, I feel guilty." Liu Qiuqiu kowtowed sadly: "We Liu family are loyal and have never thought of doing anything to damage the reputation of the royal family. Today, I have been involved in the prison. Even if I am innocent, I am ashamed. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me."
"Oh, I don't understand what the Minister of Rites said. You want Your Majesty to make the decision. What do you want to make?
You said that the Liu family did not commit any crime and were wrongly accused. Now the Liu family is being disgraced for nothing. Do you want His Majesty to make a decision for you?"
As soon as these words came out, the Minister of Rites immediately prostrated himself and kowtowed: "Empress Dowager, please calm down. I dare not do that."
Queen Mother Shang sneered.
"Don't dare? Not necessarily? But I really admire your generosity in sharing the hardship with your brother. Thinking about it carefully, it's not good for you to be so carefree outside while your brother is in the Censorate. So you can stay with your brother and help me persuade him to be a hero in a timely manner."
