Chapter 75
Meng Qing touched her sore cheek through the veiled hat.

"A few days ago, Jiang Heng, the son of Jiang Shangshu of Hubu, often harassed Youzhu, wanting Youzhu to be his concubine, but Youzhu refused, and brazenly said that the third sister would marry him in the future, slandering the third sister. At that time, I happened to bump into him, so I was so angry that I gave Jiang Heng a lesson."

"and then?"

"Then Jiang Shangshu repeatedly sent letters to the father, asking the father to marry the third sister to his son. It's not that the father doesn't know Jiang Heng's virtues, so he has already refused. I advise the third sister not to associate with people like Jiang Heng. But she didn't listen, she believed in Jiang Heng's nonsense and came to Suiyunxuan to trouble Youzhu, that's why what happened just happened."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, "So, you are still a victim?"

"That's natural."

"Ah."

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yan looked at her and said, "Do you know what mistake you made today?"

"I know. If the ministers in Chaoli know what happened today, I will inevitably be criticized."

"Then you still have to know that it can't be done?"

Meng Qing lowered her head, and the veil of the veil hung down to her knees.

"Youzhu is my friend, I have to help her. I originally wanted to go back to the palace with my third sister to deal with this matter, and explain to her slowly, who knows that she will beat someone when she comes up."

This said, more wronged and pitiful than anyone else.

Xiao Yan couldn't bear to reprimand her anymore, and said softly: "You are the princess of this dynasty, you are an example for all people, and you are the existence that all the noble ladies in the entire Jade Capital should look up to, so you shouldn't act like this."

Meng Qing tilted her veiled hat, and she clearly saw her head tilted through the gauze, and said strangely: "But Taifu, you should say this to Meng Fei, you and I What's the use of saying it, it's not that I'm going to trouble others, nor is it that I'm going to do it..."

"..."

This series of words made Xiao Yan speechless.

He patted her veil hat with hatred, and said: "Okay, don't play tricks, when you meet the emperor, you will suffer."

"Oh……"

Xiao Yan narrowed his sinister eyes.

It seems that the Jiang family can no longer stay...

The carriage drove to the palace, the golden glazed tiles were particularly dazzling under the setting sun, and the two carriages gradually disappeared in Ningyang Street...

Golden Palace.

As dusk fell, thousands of candles were lit in the hall, the light was dim and dim, the floor was covered with white jade, and a golden long dragon hovered on the red pillars like a ghostly axe.

The people on the steps paced back and forth, their faces were as dark and smelly as ink.

Meng Fei knelt down lazily on the ground, full of sleepiness.

"Father, don't go back and forth, I'm dazzled by watching..."

As soon as her words came out, Emperor Chu did indeed stop in his tracks.

"Okay you! Have you learned to pick my thorns?"

Meng Fei muttered, "How can I..."

"Meng Fei! What do you want me to say about you? Since I released your confinement, I have been jumping up and down every day, and I don't bother to talk about you anymore! But today, you brought a group of court ladies out of the palace to find a little girl. The merchant’s troubles, and your sister was beaten up like this, what do you think should be the crime?”

Emperor Chu looked at the two daughters kneeling on the ground. Their hair was disheveled and their clothes were messed up, as if they had escaped from a beggar's nest.

It's really getting worse the more I look at it.

Seeing that Meng Qing and Meng Fei were not talking, he looked at Xiao Yan with a cold face.

He is wearing a royal blue round-neck gown, and his figure is slender like a green bamboo. The cloud scroll pattern ring around his waist shows his calm and restrained temperament. His black hair is combed high and is only fixed with a silver crown. Without losing the warmth.

"Teacher Xiao, tell me, how should I deal with them?"

Chu Huang's words had other intentions.

Xiao Yan made a bow without changing his expression, "Although what happened to the two princesses today is insulting to the dignity of the royal family, but not many people know about it, the emperor can give him a lighter punishment. Besides, this matter started because of the Jiang family, the third princess He also believed in the slander, so he attacked the sisters, the emperor should reward and punish the subordinates, and give a warning to those restless courtiers in the court."

Chu Huang pondered for a moment, and felt that what Xiao Yan said was very reasonable.

As a result, his complexion improved slightly.

"Meng Fei, you listened to the slander and hurt your sister. Today, I will punish you to kneel outside the hall for three hours and pay half a year. After kneeling for three hours, go back to your red sandalwood hall and continue to be grounded!"

Meng Fei opened her mouth wide, "Foot ground again?"

"What? What's your dissatisfaction?"

"No..." She pursed her lips and kowtowed to thank her: "I thank you, Father, for your kindness."

After the Emperor Chu dealt with Meng Fei, his eyes fell on Meng Qing. Although she was the victim, he still had to punish her. If Meng Fei did something, she did the same.

He stared at Meng Qing and said, "You too, go out and kneel for me, and you won't be allowed to get up for less than three hours, and you will be banned for a month, and you will not be allowed out of the palace again!"

After a tiring day, Meng Qing didn't bother to talk and defend, and directly ordered Xie En to go out and kneel with Meng Fei.

The lights were dim.

Emperor Chu turned his back, and the gold silk brocade robe looked solemn and dignified without losing the air of a king.

"Xia Qian, pass on my will. The Minister of the Household Department, Jiang Anqing, has no way to teach his sons. He caused chaos in the imperial court and despised the power of heaven. Therefore, he was dismissed as Minister of the Household Department and demoted to be a Langzhong in Yanzhou. His son Jiang Heng will never be an official in the court. "

Eunuch Xia nodded and lowered his eyebrows, "Yes, the servant will go and convey it immediately."

After Jiang Anqing was demoted, he believed that the courtiers in the court would be able to live in peace for a while.

It's just that the position of Minister of the Household Department is vacant, why not...

Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the position of Secretary of the Household Department is extremely important in the court, and it must not be vacant. Make a decision in the morning and choose a competent person."

"Is there anyone for Taifu Xiao?"

"The left servant, Xing Gao, and the right servant, Yang Yixian, are both qualified."

When Xiao Yan said the names of the two, the color of Chu Huang's eyes became much darker.

It was obvious that both of them were not up to his expectations.

"No, neither of these two are candidates."

Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched.

Xing Gao is his man, but Yang Yixian is Zheng Guogong's protégé. It is beneficial to him whichever of the two becomes the Minister of the Household Department.

But Emperor Chu...

He suddenly walked down the jade steps and took a deep look at Xiao Yan.

"I see, you are a good candidate."

Xiao Yan looked calm, facing the resignation, said: "I have always held the position of Taifu, and have never worked in the household department. I am afraid that I am not talented enough to be competent."

Emperor Chu's eyebrows were serious, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing.

"Lack of talent and learning, I'm afraid it's hard to be competent..."

He repeated these two sentences over and over again.

Raising his finger and pointing at Xiao Yan, he said, "You, you are too self-effacing!"

Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

"That's the decision. I will worship you as the Minister of the Household Department and concurrently as the Grand Tutor in front of all the courtiers tomorrow morning."

He kowtowed his thanks.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness."
