Prince Xi was startled, and felt even more guilty by her upright look.
Undress in public? If this is a woman, how dare she say such a thing? Or, just to scare people
Pursing his lips, he asked, "What does the prime minister want?"
"This official is not a person who doesn't understand reason." Hua Chun said coldly, "But the prince has framed this official time and again, and this time he has joined forces with outsiders to put the emperor in an embarrassing position. If this official endures any longer, I'm afraid it will make you angry." The court officials are chilling! Since the lord wants to gamble, then bet a little bigger, if Jinghua proves to be a man, please return half of the fiefdom to Daliang!"
Everyone was shocked, and Prince Xi's face turned pale: "The Prime Minister made such a request, and you still say that you don't understand the truth?"
"If someone treats me with courtesy, I will return it with courtesy. If someone treats me with a sword, I will return it with a knife." Hua Chun said word by word: "People's words are terrible, three people become tigers, everyone Knowing how important a reputation is to a person, yet the prince relied on his own status to pour dirty water on his humble ministers repeatedly. If you can bear it once, bear it twice, and bear it three times, then you will lose the integrity of a scribe!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and started to unbutton the official uniform, and tore off the outermost robe with ease.
The first piece inside is a blue undershirt, not too big and not too small, it just fits close to the body, showing a flat chest.
Taking it off again, there is a white undershirt inside, and the outline of Prime Minister Hua's thin upper body can almost be seen.
Yu Wenjie squeezed her hands tightly, and seeing her put her hands on the belt of her inner coat, she almost blurted out a scolding.
If you take it off, there will be no clothes left!
Hua Chun's expression was calm, and he didn't hesitate in his actions. Seeing that Yu Wenxi was breaking out in cold sweat, he let out a low voice: "This king hasn't agreed to the prime minister yet!"
"Why?" She looked sideways, her eyes full of disdain: "Today's turmoil is so vigorous, the emperor hastily passed me into the palace, isn't it just to test my body? I, Hua Jinghua, behave in an upright manner. It’s true, so what are you afraid of?”
That's half of the fief territory, how can you be so rash! Yu Wenxi's lips turned white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's the prime minister's business to prove his identity, why do you want me to gamble with the fief?"
"Because this is something that the prince provoked." Hua Chun said coldly, "The prince should pay for his words."
"The price is too high." Yu Wenxi frowned: "The fief was bestowed by the previous emperor, how can you just take it back?"
Looking at him calmly, Hua Chunpi smiled venomously: "Isn't the prince very sure that I am a woman? What is there to be afraid of? You can't lose."
The news from all parties does say that she is a woman, but... Her behavior like this is too magnanimous, which woman can do it? What's more, there is a pregnant lady beside her, and she dares to bet with him so boldly...
His eyes wandered for a while, and Prince Xi said: "This matter should be discussed in the long run."
What's the deal? Hua Chun snorted coldly, turned around and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and said with burning eyes: "I ask the Queen Mother to be the master. I have been in the court for many years, not to mention that I have dedicated myself, and I have a clear conscience. Today, I was charged with such an unreasonable crime by Prince Xi." , I don't know what kind of words will be spread outside. Since the royal family can't trust me, I will resign, return to the common people, and put my love on the mountains and rivers!"
The queen mother was taken aback: "Prime Minister, don't be impulsive. I can see your loyalty and ability. What happened today... I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."
The emperor looked at Prince Xi: "If the prime minister resigns, I will suffer heavy losses in Daliang, then half of my brother's fief should be used to make up for it."
The plot was so reversed that the surrounding onlookers were all astonished, and all looked at the prince and the Xixia envoy kneeling down.
Prince Xi seemed to be thinking about something, but the Xixia envoys were all stunned and lay motionless on the ground.
Isn't the prime minister a woman? Isn't it true that she is a woman? It's all right now, the misunderstanding is big, and they were dragged into the water by Prince Xi! How to do this? If Prime Minister Hua accuses them of slander, will they still be able to go back to Xixia
Thinking of this, Yang Yuanchen quickly opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager forgives the crime, and the servants and others also listened to the rumors and misunderstood the prime minister."
"Oh?" the emperor asked, "Where did you hear the rumors?"
Yu Wenxi glanced at him lightly.
Yang Yuanchen was startled, looked around, and said with a trembling voice: "It's rumored in the palace. The servants and others were walking in the palace and heard many people talking about it."
"It's against the sky!" The queen mother was slightly angry, and slapped the table next to her: "The people in the palace dare to arrange the prime minister in front of the foreign envoy, don't they?"
Hua Chun hooked her lips: "The Queen Mother need not get angry, I explained clearly today that there are always some people in the palace who don't like my ministers."
"It's also your generosity." Empress Dowager Ning sighed and said, "Put on your clothes first, it's been cold recently, don't get sick again."
"Thank you Queen Mother for your concern." Hua Chun said, "But the prince hasn't given an explanation yet."
Lord Xi came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said: "This king also believed the rumors, so he wanted to come to prove it, but the prime minister threatened him with the fiefdom, so naturally this king can't take this risk."
"Oh?" She looked back at this person: "Your lord, you still think that this official is a woman, just to preserve the fief, so you don't want to continue watching?"
Lord Xi acquiesced.
"It's really interesting." Hua Chun sneered, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on again, then turned to look at the emperor: "So I only serve His Majesty in this life, because His Majesty deserves it."
Yu Wenxi gritted his teeth.
This is true, isn't he stepping on him to praise Yu Wenjie in the open? Hua Jinghua really didn't leave a way out for herself, good job.
"Okay." The queen mother said a little tiredly: "Today's farce will come to an end here. The prime minister's wife is pregnant, and the prime minister is also frank. Let's go back, what should be said and what should not be said in my heart." There must be numbers."
"Concubine complies with the order." A group of concubines nearby saluted and retreated, and the palace servants also withdrew one after another.
The emperor looked at the Xixia envoys below with pity: "Originally, we can leave for Xixia tomorrow. After today's incident, you might as well stay in Daliang for a few more days and let the king of Xixia come to pick you up?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" Yang Yuanchen cried out directly: "If my king is here to pick you up, how can I wait for you?"
"Before you slander me as the prime minister, why don't you think about whether you will die?"
"Chen wait... I really know I'm wrong!"
Hua Chun shook his head and looked at them, saying: "Sometimes the pies delivered to the door may not be edible, most of them are poisonous. See? I fell into someone else's trick, and I used it as a backstop for nothing."
Yang Yuanchen froze for a moment, turned his mind a few times, and looked at Prince Xi next to him in horror.
He told them this news, saying that he wanted to pull the prime minister down, so he cooperated with him to sue. He told alone that the Empress Dowager may still be partial, but as long as foreign envoys are added, the Empress Dowager will somewhat consider Daliang's face and deal with it fairly.
If Prime Minister Hua hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have been so angry to help Prince Xi. It's all right now, but it's hurting myself.
Yu Wenxi squinted his eyes, looked at Hua Jinghua and said, "The prime minister's play of sowing dissension is also beautiful."
"Ah?" Hua Chun stared at him with wide eyes: "My lord...is he with the Xi Xia envoy?"
"... the king didn't say that."
"Didn't you say sowing dissension?" Hua Chun blinked: "I don't read much, but I also know that this word is used between people who have a good relationship. That is to say, the prince has a lot to do with the envoy behind the emperor's back." An intimate relationship!"
With black lines all over his face, Yu Wenxi said angrily: "This king is clumsy, I can't speak for the prime minister."
"Only being reasonable can travel around the world, but being unreasonable makes it difficult to walk an inch." Hua Chun smiled: "My lord should read more books."
Prince Xi couldn't take it anymore, he looked up at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, I know I was wrong."
"What's the use of confessing to the queen mother?" The emperor said indifferently: "It was Prime Minister Hua who was wronged by you."
Hua Chun waved his hand generously: "You don't need to ask the lord to apologize to this humble minister, this humble minister can't bear it."
Prince Xi paused, feeling a little relieved, and wanted to say a few good words and let the matter pass, but Hua Jinghua's next sentence was: "Just give me some compensation."
Yu Wenxi: "..."
How shameless is his grandma
Something is wrong! Today he was obviously full of confidence and wanted to put Hua Jinghua to death, why was he forced to this point instead
He is also very good at usual calculations, but he always stumbles with Hua Jinghua, and he doesn't know why.
"That's true." The Empress Dowager said: "Xi'er should prepare generous gifts for the Prime Minister to make amends, and this matter will be over."
"... My son obeys the order."
After tidying up her clothes, Hua Chun glanced at Qing Niao, who was pale, and quickly helped her up with distress, and asked in a low voice, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Qing Niao shook her head, only holding on to her sleeve tightly: "It's as long as I'm fine."
"Nothing will happen." Hua Chun comforted her, then raised her head to look at the Empress Dowager: "Qingyou is not feeling well, since today was a misunderstanding, can I take my leave first?"
"I have someone send your wife back to the mansion first." The emperor said: "You stay and return to Zichen Hall with me."
What's the matter? Hua Chun frowned, and looked at Qing Niao worriedly. The latter let go of her sensibly, and smiled: "I am waiting in the mansion for my master to come back."
"Okay." Nodding, Hua Chun greeted the Queen Mother and left Huiming Palace with the emperor.
At Huiming Gate, Qing Niao left with Eunuch Qin, and the emperor got into the dragon chariot. Hua Chun originally planned to walk beside him, but the person above stretched out his hand and pulled her up.
Steel-like arms tightly hugged her, pressing her whole body into his embrace, which was warm and secure.
Slightly dazed, she knocked her chin on his shoulder and called out in doubt: "Your Majesty?"
"Don't move." Yu Wenjie whispered, "Let me hug you for a while."
