He Yi only smiled, but he didn't let his footsteps move at all.
But at this time, Concubine Hui Wu Wan's cold voice came from beside her: "Then you still get out of the way!"
Hearing this voice, some officials around did not even dare to lift their heads, so they immediately bowed deeply and took a step back.
"Concubine Hui..."
Today is the day when the little princess wakes up. Not only officials from the court like them are coming, but also many concubines from the harem are here, but there are still rules.
Facing Concubine Hui, no one dared to talk too much.
As for He Yi, he also bowed down to Concubine Hui Wu Wan who came forward from the side in a respectful manner, and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to Concubine Hui."
Wu Wan stepped forward.
Of course she also knew that her brother entered the cabinet, but because of a moment of "humility", He Yi in front of her became the chief assistant of the cabinet. Their Wu family suffered a dumb loss. When the cabinet was discussing matters, He Yi used his status as the chief assistant of the cabinet, together with Gu Tingqiu and the others, to suppress the people on Wu Ding's side.
The cabinet is almost becoming his monologue.
So when we met today, Wu Wan's expression was not good, and the words just said were cold and hard.
Walking over, she looked He Yi up and down, and she said: "The Duke wants to enter the palace to offer incense to the little princess, can you stop this?"
He Yi smiled and leaned over, "This, I dare not."
"Since you dare not, why don't you back away?"
"Although I dare not stop the Duke from offering incense, it's getting late now, and it's almost time for the little princess to wake up. If the Duke goes in to offer incense again, I'm afraid it will delay the time."
"Heyi, you are so courageous!"
Wu Wan's face turned green, and she pointed at him and said, "If you weren't pushing back and forth here, how could you delay the time?"
"..."
"I see, you clearly intend to obstruct."
Having said that, she took a step forward: "Get out of the way!"
Although He Yi was impeccable in his speech and blocked the entrance of the side hall, he was just a person, but he had an invisible aura that prevented thousands of troops from advancing, but he still had to shy away from the emperor's concubines.
So, take a step back.
But Wu Wan's complexion became heavy, and she stepped forward and said, "Get out of the way!"
Going further back is the threshold of the side hall. He Yi was hesitating, when suddenly, he saw the other side out of the corner of his eyes, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he turned sideways and backed away.
Seeing that he stepped aside, Wu Wan snorted coldly.
Cheng Guogong Wu Yingqi saw this situation and was about to walk forward, but before he could take his steps, he heard a light voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile from far behind him—
"Concubine Hui is really majestic today."
"...!"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone present was startled.
And He Yi immediately bowed deeply towards the direction where the voice came from: "I pay my respects to the imperial concubine."
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads.
Wu Wan's brows also frowned, she turned her head slowly, and she saw a familiar and disgusting figure walking over from the front.
It was none other than the imperial concubine Si Nanyan.
When Concubine Hui appeared, all the people here were ministers, and no one dared to overstep her.
However, once the imperial concubine appeared, Concubine Hui was nothing.
Wu Yingqiu's face changed slightly, but he still immediately bowed down to salute: "I pay my respects to the imperial concubine."
Everyone around also kowtowed and saluted.
Nan Yan walked in front of them slowly, and did not excuse them, but turned her head to look at Wu Wan, raising her eyebrows slightly.
That look seemed to say: What about Li
Wu Wan gritted her teeth, and could only bend down to salute: "I pay my respects to the imperial concubine."
A relieved smile appeared on Nan Yan's face, and she said, "Little sister, get up, everyone is welcome."
Then everyone straightened up.
Nan Yan smiled and said: "I just came here, and I heard a loud voice here. Today is the day when the little princess wakes up, so she should be more solemn. Why does my sister seem to be reprimanding Mr. Heyi?"
Although she knew that she and He Yi were in the same group, after all, there were a lot of people here, so no matter what, Wu Wan had to give the imperial concubine some face.
He could only grit his teeth and reply: "The Duke wants to enter the palace to offer incense for the little princess, but Mr. Heyi repeatedly stops him."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan turned to look at He Yi: "Master He Yi, this is your fault."
He Yi immediately put his head down and said, "Yes."
"Since the Duke wants to offer incense for the little princess, it is a little thought of a courtier, how can you stop it?"
"yes."
Having said that, He Yi took another big step back.
Both Wu Yingqiu and Wu Wan were stunned.
Si Nanyan, why would she speak for them
However, since this is the case, Wu Yingqiu naturally would not let go of the opportunity, and bowed his head to Nanyan, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."
After finishing speaking, he must immediately go to the side hall.
But just when he was about to step in, he heard Nanyan say leisurely: "The Duke wants to offer incense to the little princess, it is naturally the intention of a courtier. However, a courtier should be loyal and filial the most, not To the emperor?"
"..."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Wu Yingqiu also stopped and turned to look at Nanyan. However, he couldn't speak directly to Nanyan. He only glanced at his daughter, and Wu Wan immediately said, "What do you mean by your concubine's words?"
"..."
"Is the imperial concubine going to accuse the Duke of not being loyal and filial to the emperor?"
Nan Yan smiled and said: "Well, of course I dare not say that, but I have a question and I want to ask the Duke."
"My lady, please tell me."
"Duke came to Beijing, can you go to greet the emperor first?"
"..."
With one word from Nanyan, he stopped him.
As a courtier, the first thing after entering Beijing, even if you are passionate about filial piety, you should first go to greet the emperor and salute. After all, loyalty and filial piety come before filial piety; and no matter how loyal and filial you are to the little princess, Go beyond the order of the emperor.
Hearing this, Wu Yingqiu's expression froze.
Seeing his expression, Nan Yan deliberately said, "Oh, isn't there?"
"..."
"Duke, this is your fault."
"..."
"No matter how important the little princess's matter is, she shouldn't pass the emperor. Fortunately, I know that the Duke is loyal to the emperor. If someone else encounters such a thing, I'm afraid they will blame the Duke and put the cart before the horse. Maybe they will say Don't worry about it."
"..."
Wu Yingqiu was speechless, and only smiled coyly: "Your Majesty taught me well."
Nan Yan said: "Fortunately, the emperor is now in the imperial study, not far from the Taimiao, the Duke hurried over to kowtow to the emperor before coming back."
Hearing what she said, Wu Yingqiu and Wu Wan's faces turned blue.
