Mrs. Right did not expect Lin Fufu to ask so straightforwardly in front of so many people.
She felt a little embarrassed, but also a little proud.
Because the other noble ladies secretly glanced at Lin Fufu from the corner of their eyes, waiting to see how the empress would deal with this problem.
Not all fools know that Mrs. Right deliberately asked this question to displease the empress.
"Why doesn't Mrs. You speak again? It's hard to answer this question?" Lin Fufu was calm, without any embarrassment or anger. This kind of bearing and self-restraint also secretly admired these noble ladies of Beirong.
Mrs. You Xiang saw that the empress was not at all angered by her question just now, and she responded so aggressively, her face was already ugly.
It's hard for her to answer this question.
Because nothing is right.
"The empress has just taught the ministers and wives, so the ministers dare not speculate on the king's heart secretly. The ministers think that since your majesty has left these matters to the empress, the empress must be able to handle them well, and the ministers are not qualified to replace the empress. Worry!" Mrs. You Xiang had to say after pondering for a while.
Lin Fufu smiled slightly, "Madam Right is right. Your Majesty has given this matter to me to handle it with full authority. I have sent someone to investigate. If it goes well, we may be able to find out the truth of the matter today."
Lin Fufu only dared to say this because he believed that Lao Liu definitely had the ability to do things, and she had pointed out the direction for Lao Liu. As long as Lao Liu followed the vine, he would definitely gain something.
Hearing what Lin Fufu said, these noble ladies could only nod their heads. Mrs. Right was frustrated one after another, and her face became even more ugly. She thought to herself, if the truth of this matter cannot be found out today, it would be ridiculous.
At this moment, Lin He hurried into Tai'an Hall.
Originally, she was waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the noble ladies were. Seeing her coming, Lin Fufu was not surprised, but asked indifferently: "Lin He, how are the ladies doing today?"
"Back to the master, all the ladies had a great time." Lin He replied respectfully.
Lin Fufu nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Why did you come?"
Lin He hurriedly said: "Miss, the master, it is the sixth commander who sent the slaves back and forth, Madam, there is something about Miss Dongzhu in the Xia Palace."
Everyone was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Lin He.
Especially those who want to wait and see a good show, they never expected that this matter will be found out in just such a short time.
They are not fools, even if the eldest lady in the Xia Palace has that kind of brains, without the secret support and help, she will definitely not be able to touch His Majesty's imperial study.
No matter how powerful the empress is, if she really wants to investigate this matter, how can she find out every three or five days
Unless, the empress knew who was the mastermind behind this incident early on!
But if this is the case, then this empress is too scary, right
How smart is she, that all the tricks in the harem can't escape her eyes
Lin Fufu didn't care about the surprise or panic in these ladies' hearts at all, he looked at Lin Lan and said, "Just tell me, these ladies just want to know."
Lin He respectfully responded, "Reporting to my lord, the sixth commander found out that the person who went out and changed clothes with Miss Dongzhu was also Miss Meng Qing from the Shuyang Palace. Now Miss Meng Qing has been taken care of by the sixth commander. People guarded it, and the sixth leader led the slaves to report to the empress, asking the empress if she would like to interrogate Miss Meng Qing."
As soon as Lin He's words fell, the old princess of Shuyang Wang stood up with a pale face, and asked Lin He with trembling lips, "Miss Lin He, did you hear me right? The girls in our Shuyang Palace are all well-mannered. Our Meng Qing Since childhood, the rules are also the best, how could you do something outrageous with the eldest lady in the Xia Palace? This is absolutely impossible!"
After she finished speaking, she knelt down on the ground and saluted Lin Fufu, "Empress, please be clear! There will never be a daughter as savage as Miss Dongzhu in the Shuyang palace. It was a misunderstanding!"
Lin Fufu stretched out his hand to help her, and said calmly: "Don't be so excited, the old princess of Shuyang, get up and sit down first. As for whether Miss Meng Qing will do something out of the ordinary, it's too early to say anything. After all, we must listen to what the parties and witnesses have to say."
After finishing speaking, Lin Fufu looked at Lin He, "Lin He, what did the sixth commander find out, but there are witnesses, and you will tell everything you know in front of all the wives. "
Lin He obeyed, and replied calmly: "The old sixth commander found out that at that time Miss Dongzhu changed into the dress of a servant and knocked out a servant who was serving in the imperial study. It was not enough. Miss Dongzhu dressed up as a servant and entered the imperial study, but no one noticed that she was a fake servant. Miss Meng Qing did not dress up as a servant, but a big court lady Help Miss Dongzhu look out!"
It's fine for others, but the old princess of Shuyang felt relieved when she heard that Meng Qing was just pretending to be a palace maid to look out for Dongzhu.
It's still considered that Meng Qing, a dead girl, has a bit of brains and didn't do anything too outrageous. She didn't ruin her own reputation like Dong Zhu's idiot, and even implicated Xia Wangfu!
Lin Fufu frowned slightly after hearing Lin He's reply.
The person who dressed up the big palace lady was indeed someone from the Shuyang Palace, and she was not surprised that it was the little girl Meng Qing, but this is not the truth.
Even if Dong Zhu and Meng Qing were together, they would not be able to touch Huangfu Jin's imperial study room without anyone noticing.
Those guarding the imperial study room are all smart and capable people, even if the palace is busy and short of manpower due to the Qiqiao Festival today, it shouldn't be the case.
"Empress! Please forgive my little girl. The little girl must have been bewitched by Miss Dongzhu. The poor little girl is kind-hearted, and she took advantage of her to do such an unethical thing! My wife must teach her well when she returns. , and choose a good marriage for her as soon as possible..." The old princess of Shuyang Wang was busy throwing the blame, but was stopped by Lin Fufu.
"You don't need to be so anxious to tell the old princess of Shuyang. I will personally summon Ms. Meng Qing to ask the ins and outs of this matter." After finishing speaking, Lin Fufu glanced at the wives and saw that they had different expressions, so he smiled slightly, " So far, this incident seems to be a joke made by the two little girls, His Majesty Simu. To be more complicated, it is just the desire of the nobles of Beirong to hope that the noble ladies of the family can occupy a place in the harem of Beibei, so they I have no choice but to take the risk. In the final analysis, it is not the fault of the two little girls, but the fault of you parents and elders."
As soon as Lin Fufu said these words, everyone was startled. They got up from their seats one after another, then knelt down and shouted: Please forgive me, empress...
Lin Fufu didn't let them get up this time, and looked down at the crowd of people kneeling below, and said indifferently: "You are always unconvinced, thinking that you can't influence your majesty in the previous court, so you can be in the harem and in this palace." You have to do it yourself, but you are also women, and you are also parents. You really think that sending your daughter to the harem will allow your daughter to be favored by His Majesty. From then on, your family will be able to rise to the sky in one step and enjoy more glory and wealth. Ask yourself, You are all aristocrats of Beirong, your ancestors used to follow the ancestors of the Beirong royal family to achieve wealth on horseback, but now you have been reduced to relying on selling your daughters to gain glory and wealth, don't you feel ashamed?"
All the ladies kneeling on the ground blushed after what she said.
Lin Fufu said what was on their minds, and also humiliated their family. What's more, they themselves felt that they, the nobles, deserved to be humiliated after hearing her humiliation.
"Have you ever thought that if you don't instill in your daughters that you must try your best to enter the palace and become a concubine in order to revitalize the family, maybe they each have their own talents and can do many great but ordinary things for Bei Rong?" Things. For example, some ladies may have medical talent, which can cure diseases and save lives, and some ladies have culinary talent, and can research and develop more food or recipes that are more suitable for Beirong people. Some girls even have military talents that are not inferior to men. , and can become the female general of Beirong... Even if they don’t have any talent, they are just ordinary people. It’s much better for you to let them marry and have children to live a happy but ordinary life than to suffer in the deep palace.”
At the end of Lin Fufu's speech, he almost sighed.
From a humanitarian point of view, she didn't want to see those young girls in their prime be ruined by their families, just like that Dongzhu girl.
She knew that what she said to these noble ladies today might not change anything.
"Today, taking advantage of this grand gathering of the Qiqiao Festival, I want to truly inform you that there will not be another extra woman in Huangfujin's harem. No matter what method you come up with, it will not change my decision. "Lin Fufu smiled, and then turned his tone sharply, "Don't say that Miss Dongzhu only touched His Majesty's imperial study today, even if she climbed onto His Majesty's dragon bed, and with His Majesty's dragon heir, this palace will also She will not be allowed to enter the palace!"
"Empress!" Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Mrs. Right looked up at Lin Fufu in disbelief at the same time. How dare this empress who was born in the Great Wei Dynasty dare to do so
How dare she have the confidence to announce such a decision
"What? The two Mrs. Xiangye have an opinion?" Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows and looked at them.
Mrs. Zuoxiang and Mrs. Right had a rare unanimity this time. Mrs. Zuoxiang nodded to Mrs. Right, and Mrs. Right gritted her teeth and said: "If there is a woman other than the empress who has the Dragon Heir of Your Majesty, no matter what it is Identity, according to the rules of the Beirong royal family, must be taken into the harem! This rule, even if the empress is unwilling to abide by it, His Majesty will not agree to it!"
