Qin Yining burst out laughing at his tone, "If it's really hot tea, I'm afraid I'll burn people."
"You feel bad for him?" Pang Xiao hummed displeasedly.
"I'm afraid that things will get out of hand, and it will damage my reputation."
Pang Xiao naturally knew that Qin Yining acted in a measured manner. She was not only doing it for her reputation, but also did not want to make extra troubles and torn her face with the Lumen family at an inappropriate time. But he held it in the palm of his hand and was afraid of falling, and in his mouth, he was afraid of the melted baby, and he was bullied after only one day of going out.
"I don't think that group of women is easy, and when they talk, I don't know if they are deliberately doing it, focusing on troubles. How can ordinary women with morality be so open-mouthed? They are still noble families. The mistress?"
Pang Xiao looked down on the ladies who were present today, and said something unpleasant. These women only talk about others behind their backs, but they don't think others will be criticized for this. They will not be responsible for their own words.
Especially the woman who deliberately brought up the matter that the Queen Mother matched Lu Heng and Qin Yining back then was simply uneasy and kind, and deliberately led the topic in that direction.
Just now, Pang Xiao subconsciously wondered if there was someone who couldn't deal with him, so he framed Qin Yining. But on second thought, sometimes the hostility between women often comes from jealousy, maybe someone is jealous of the beauty of his family's Yijie's son, and it's unknown.
Pang Xiao's big hand hugged Qin Yining even tighter, "I don't care about them, in short, let's stop interacting with those long-tongued women in the future, so as not to make you angry."
"Got it!" Qin Yining put his arms around Pang Xiao's neck and buried his face in his neck, "Okay, even if this is over, it has nothing to do with us, so don't take it to heart."
"That can't be done." Qin Yining lowered his head and kissed Qin Yining's forehead, "I think the surnamed Lu is clearly a thief. He bullies my daughter-in-law. Is a cup of herbal tea all you need? Don't worry about it, I have it all myself. consider."
A man who is jealous is simply irresistible.
"Okay, it's up to you, I won't interfere." Qin Yining said softly, covering his mouth and yawning, "Talking to people you don't know very well for a day is better than fighting a war with them. Tired."
When Pang Xiao heard the words, he pressed and rubbed her shoulder and neck with his big hand, but his tentacles didn't touch a few taels of flesh, but a layer of skin and bones.
"Okay, I asked them to prepare milk and bird's nest for you. You eat a bowl and we'll sleep." Pang Xiao said sympathetically, "I promise not to bother you tonight."
The first half of the sentence was fine, but at the end it started to be rude.
Qin Yining thumped Pang Xiao, and Pang Xiao laughed and shook her.
Such a big baby, he doesn't know how to hurt her.
After a good night's sleep, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao stayed at home "recuperating" as usual the next day, and gradually began to thank few visitors.
Pang Xiao secretly went out the door, but Qin Yining didn't ask in detail what he was going out for.
"Princess, princess." In the evening, Bingtang said excitedly, "Did you know that yesterday, Mrs. Zhongyi Uncle followed Uncle Zhongyi into the palace to express her gratitude. As a result, the Ci'an Palace made a scene and disturbed the empress."
"Really?" Qin Yining was making Brother Zhao's little clothes, and he said with great interest, "I'm afraid her temper will be at a disadvantage when she arrives in the palace."
"More than that." Bingtang said in a low voice, "It is said that Mrs. Zhongyi Uncle went to complain, saying that Uncle Zhongyi humiliated her, and the two of them didn't take off their wedding dress on the wedding night."
"You can hear this?" Qin Yining was surprised.
Bingtang said bluntly, "I wasn't the only one who said it. The woman who went out to buy today came back and said that it was spread all over the capital."
Jiyun came in with a box in hand, and was hearing Bingtang say, "Isn't it true, Princess, you don't know that a big man from an aristocratic family like Uncle Zhongyi can easily renew the string, but he is such a person, and now many people Everyone is talking about this outside. It is said that the people of Zhongyi Uncle are rude and rude, and they bumped into the queen mother and the queen, and later disturbed the saint. Fall, I was almost downgraded to Zhaoyi."
"Tsk, if I were Concubine Zhuang, even if I married someone, I wouldn't choose a cousin with such a temperament." Bingtang smacked her tongue.
"Zhuang Concubine Xu is also a weak character, right? I heard that if it wasn't for Zhuang Concubine's real frailty and beauty, and she was indifferent to the world, the Bian family would have been embarrassed if the Sage opened up."
Listening to the chatter of the two girls, Qin Yining couldn't help shaking her head when she thought of Bian Ruohan's appearance.
Life is too rich, and parents and elders dote on them, so that such a girl can be spoiled.
But I can't blame my parents. There are many parents in the world who dote on their children, and not every child is like Bian Ruohan.
Qin Yining shook her head, but she didn't take it to heart.
Pang Xiao didn't mention it again, just continued to claim that he was sick and recuperate, and left the court.
Two days later, there was another laughing rumor in the Bian mansion. It is said that Bian was sentenced to kneel in the ancestral hall when he returned home, and he was not given any food. Uncle Zhongyi also went back after sitting for a while, leaving the Bian family at his parents' house, and never staying at his husband's house for meals.
A big wedding, such a discordant scene, this rumor is too much, overshadowing many versions of the gossip on the day of the big wedding.
Now that Uncle Zhongyi married an unruly shrew, all the women and children knew that he was already making trouble.
Because there were rumors that the sage treated the heroes harshly and bullied the hero, now it is not just a loyal and obedient prince who is being treated harshly by the sage.
There are a lot of people talking about it.
"Uncle Zhongyi's marriage was arranged by the sage. The sage arranged it, no matter what kind of woman she is, it's not easy for a minister to refuse, right?"
"That's why the patriarch of a big family like the Lumen family has a title and even took such a shrew."
"Is this also..."
Some people did not dare to say more, but everyone knew that if they did not say anything, it was easy to think of the harsh treatment that Prince Zhongshun received when he returned to the city.
It can be seen that the behavior of the sage to treat his subjects harshly is not accidental.
"It is said that Prince Zhongshun is still recovering from a miserable illness in the palace, and Prince Zhongshun has never arranged official positions again."
"What about the appointment of officials? It's good not to be impeached. It's only been quiet for a few days. I don't know when the shit pot will be deducted again."
The person who spoke sighed for a while.
Such remarks are not everywhere in the city, and people are talking about them almost everywhere.
Li Qitian also got the news soon.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is true. Those ignorant grass-roots people outside are indeed rumored like this. As an official, it is the minister's duty to report the facts to the Lord." In the royal study, a middle-aged official knelt on the ground, The way of righteous words.
Li Qitian naturally trusted him, this person was his confidant, and he had done things steadily for many years. Although he did not rise to the top, he was able to get promoted step by step in the Metropolitan Court.
"Liu Qing calm down."
"Thank you, Sage." Liu Yushi stood up, looking upright, and continued without looking at Li Qitian's face, "I still have something to report to Sage."
Li Qitian rubbed his forehead, "Speak."
Liu Yushi said, "I found out that Bo Zhongyi is selling his officials and vassals on his own to enrich his own pockets. The officials he buys and sells clearly mark the price, and there is even a time when the person with the highest price will get it. For example, Qin Chalu, who had previously arranged to go to the old capital of Dayan, Your Excellency is the official position that Uncle Zhongyi sold."
A sentence is like a thunderbolt, and the people who are really bombed are shocked.
For a while, the quiet needles fell in the imperial study room. Xiong Jinshui and a few small servants heard the inside story. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak loudly. They quietly hid in the corner, for fear of being noticed by the sage.
Liu Yushi, who had ordered a cannon battle, was still standing like a pine tree.
Li Qitian's brain throbbed in pain, "Impossible. Lu Tingzhong is the person arranged by me personally. No matter how talented Lu Heng is, can I still make me obey him? Not to mention this commissioner, As for the official position of this dynasty, the appointment, performance appraisal and promotion of officials above the magistrate and county level were all approved by the imperial pen.
"Sage, this is not what this minister means, but it is an indisputable fact that the Lu family sells officials. Some people in the Lu family deceive the sage, and some people deliberately guide the sage, so that they can successfully profit from it."
Liu Yushi thought about it for a while, and then said, "I will give you a real example. A few days ago, there was a merchant in the south. In order to make the business prosperous, I wanted a reliable official to take care of it. The solution is to buy a local imperial envoy. This way, you can run rampant.
"This merchant asked the Lu family, and the Lu family completed the mission, but who knew that this merchant refused to pay the Lu family the promised revenge. It is said that they did not give the Lu family a penny, and even ordered people to be in Lujiabai. Eat and drink for a while.
"The Lu family accomplished something, but they couldn't get the money. In a fit of rage, they shut down the merchant. I dared to say bluntly in front of the sage today that the Lu family sold a commissioner, the position of Lord Lu, but If they didn't get revenge from the merchants, it's not enough to destroy the merchants, they will definitely not be reconciled, and they must be reconciled to take back the post of imperial envoy."
Li Qitian's brows furrowed, "You mean, the Lu family will be around me and ask me to replace Lu Tingzhong?"
Liu Yushi said: "Yes or not, the saint will gradually know."
Li Qitian knew that Liu Yushi was not a man of falsehoods, and at this moment he was a little dubious.
In early April, I caught up with the official political examination. Coincidentally, someone in the Ministry of Personnel happened to sparse Li Qitian, saying that the inspection of Lu Tingzhong, who was sent to the south to inspect people's conditions, should have been completed, and it can be transferred back to the original place. The reason is explained in the booklet. Criticism.
In the past, many official appointments and removals were made by the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Qitian personally reviewed them.
As soon as I saw this book today and thought of Liu Yushi's words, Li Qitian's brows furrowed.
