The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 132

Xiao Chengzi smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is getting more and more exciting. The Zhang family is trying hard to deny that Zhang Ziping said those words, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ziping admitted it himself. He also kept saying that he couldn't bear the love of the second princess and that he liked Ningxue. Even if the Emperor wanted to kill him, he would still say so!"

"The Emperor got very angry on the spot, saying that the second princess had never met him, so how could she have any love for him! He also said that since he kept saying that he wanted to marry a brothel girl, then he would fulfill his wish."

"In the end, Marquis Wenxin declared on the spot that he did not have a son like Zhang Ziping and drove him out of the mansion. "

"It is said that Zhang Ziping did not regret it at that time. He stood with the brothel girl and declared that their true love could conquer everything."

"The Emperor beat them each with ten sticks and drove them out."

Xiao Chengzi's storytelling was really average, but the story itself was too exciting.

Everyone listened with relish.

Giving up everything for a brothel girl, this plot, even the story book didn't dare to write like this.

[Wow, it turns out that the one who really dug wild vegetables was Zhang Ziping!] Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but sigh.

"After Zhang Ziping and the brothel girl were dragged out, the Emperor announced another thing."

Xiao Chengzi paused and said, "The Emperor issued an imperial decree, asking the Ministry of Rites to prepare. Two days later, the second princess will be named Princess An Le, with a salary of 500 taels of silver and 600 hu* of wood."
(*Hu 斛: a dry measure used in former times, 1 hu = 60 kg.)

Jiang Zhimiao knew about this a long time ago, and she couldn't help asking, "How do the court officials react?"

Yue Lin had set a precedent this time.

There were many conservatives among these court officials, so there should be some opposition.

"There were a few people who raised objections, but before the Emperor could speak, they were blocked by other lords."

"Most of the court officials accepted this decree with pleasure."

Xiao Chengzi reported honestly.

Jiang Zhimiao smiled and said, "I know, you can leave."

[Why do I feel that Yue Lin is an old fox! Originally, Yue Mian's title was not so easy to get. He deliberately dragged Zhang Ziping and the brothel girl to the court, which made these two people attract a wave of hatred.]

[The more annoying these two people are, the more distressed Yue Mian is. Out of the psychological compensation for the princess, many people choose to remain silent.]

[The matter of the princess' title is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Dehong, the Minister of Rites, just broke such a big thunder, and the Ministry of Rites naturally dare not touch the bad luck again in this matter.]

[Although this time it is a precedent, under Yue Lin's operation, it can be regarded as a smooth achievement of the goal.]

[Tsk, this is scheming.]

Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for Yue Hua's golden finger being too big and Yue Lin's life span not being eternal, otherwise, even Long Aotian would not be so easy to accomplish.

The expressions of the concubines in the harem also moved slightly.

The Empress was not surprised at the Emperor's will. It seemed that she and the Emperor had a tacit understanding.

Who was the empress?

That was the reincarnation of a god.

Even Prince An He had suffered losses at the hands of the Empress again and again.

As long as the Emperor held the Empress's thighs tightly, what kind of problem couldn't the Empress solve?

They entered the harem, and their fate was closely related to the emperor and the empress.

But, they wonder if there were any fools in the family who have been bewitched by Prince An He.

They couldn't tell the reason, but they could knock on the family members and let them know who was the real emperor!

Yue Lin was busy until night.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest." Li Dehuai said cautiously.

Yue Lin asked, "What time is it?"

Li Dehuai said softly, "It will soon be haishi*."
(*Haishi 亥时 hài shí: 9-11 pm.)

"Haishi..." Yue Lin pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is the Empress resting now?"

As soon as he asked, Yue Lin started laughing.

Jiang Zhimiao was probably watching a TV series at this moment. With her schedule, she probably wouldn't fall asleep so early.

"Let's go to Fengyi Palace." Yue Lin stood up.

It's strange.

In the past, when he rested alone, he didn't feel anything.

He even felt very relieved.

But now...

If there was one less person around, if he couldn't hear Jiang Zhimiao's occasional complaints, he would always feel that something was missing.

He couldn't help feeling a little empty in his heart.

"Yes. I'll give the order right away." Li Dehuai said hurriedly.

Yue Lin said calmly, "No need to give orders in advance. If the Empress has already fallen asleep, why bother her to get up. I'll go there myself."

Li Dehuai's heart was slightly shocked.

His Majesty's preference for the Empress was really hidden!

Yue Lin just walked out of the imperial study.

Suddenly, his brows slightly frowned.

Eunuch Zhou in Empress Dowager's palace seemed to be calculating the time. As soon as he left, Eunuch Zhou came to meet him on time.

Eunuch Zhou looked a little nervous, "Your Majesty! Empress Dowager is ill!"

Yue Lin narrowed his eyes, his expression was indistinguishable, "Is ill?"

This illness was quite timely.

Eunuch Zhou seemed not to see the mockery in Yue Lin's eyes, and said to himself, "The imperial physician has come to see her. Empress Dowager is seriously ill this time. When she fell ill in the afternoon, Empress Dowager wanted to hide it so as not to worry His Majesty. But at night, the high fever did not subside, and Empress Dowager talked nonsense from time to time."

Eunuch Zhou wiped his tears, "Empress Dowager still doesn't allow us to tell His Majesty, but I think that Empress Dowager is old and I don't know how serious this disease is. Empress Dowager didn't want His Majesty to worry, so she kept it a secret. But if this matter gets out, won't people all over the world talk about His Majesty being unfilial?"

"The servant thought that he should go to the Emperor."

Yue Lin glanced at Eunuch Zhou indifferently.
