The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 55 The king’s heart is unpredictable
  Wen Jiu burst into tears and said innocently: "This is my first time to go out. I don't know the rules very well. When I saw no one came to stop me, I wanted to act as peacemaker and injured Liu during the pushing." Girl. Cough cough cough cough”

Wen Jiu lowered his head and covered the corners of his mouth, as if trying his best to suppress the discomfort in his throat, suppressing it until his face turned red.

But she was thinking in her heart, someone actually complained about this matter to the emperor?
  "That's all, it's nothing serious about the girl's family. It's good if you can think of them as father and brother serving the court."

When Emperor Wenyuan saw her like this, he stopped asking any more questions.

"The emperor is busy with official duties. If I had known that someone would talk about these trivial matters to the emperor, I would not have acted rashly at that time. I would really regret it."

Concubine Rou's face turned pale. What does this mean? Call yourself too talkative? Say you don't think well?

This Wen Jiu is really just like her father, being unreasonable and unforgiving!
  "It seems that I had the foresight to designate you for marriage to Lu Xu. Your father said before that you were weak and might not be qualified for the position of Crown Princess. I am very optimistic that you are so smart that you will be able to run the Crown Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner. !”

"Yes, with Miss Wen as the Crown Prince's main concubine, if the Crown Prince takes in a few more side concubines, he will be content and keep to himself." Concubine Rou seemed to have said it unintentionally, but in fact she just wanted to disgust Wen Jiu.

"Your Majesty, I have a question. If my daughter marries the crown prince, she will have only one husband. Then can the crown prince only have my daughter as my wife?" Wen Jiu raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Wenyuan, his eyes blinking. It's pure.

"What?" Emperor Wenyuan didn't know whether he didn't hear Wen Jiu's doubts, or he didn't know how to answer.

"Wen Jiu, it's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

Concubine Rou said, "How about a wife?" What books did Mr. Wen read to his daughter?

"If a little girl wants to get married, she will only have one person for the rest of her life. This is the case for ordinary families." Wen Jiu said firmly.

"Ordinary men can have three wives and four concubines."

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether three wives and four concubines are fair to women. As the saying goes, people only have food and clothing before they have other desires. But nowadays, ordinary people can't even have enough food and clothing, so how can there be other desires? idea."

"You mean, the common people in this world now have problems with food and clothing?" Emperor Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was displeasure on his face.

Concubine Rou secretly thought, this Wen Jiu actually said in front of the emperor that the people in the world did not have enough to eat. After all, she was still a little girl who had not experienced the world.

Wen Jiu lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.

She knew very well that it was not her place to say this, but she had to say it.

She has studied art in Qingyun Mountain for many years and has traveled to many places with Quan Zhensan.

She has seen farmers living near their fields displaced due to floods and dying on the roadside due to hunger and cold. She has a kind heart and offers salvation to them.

But the further down she went, the more powerless she became. There were too many people lying on the roadside. Until she was exhausted and fell down on the roadside, she still couldn't see the end of the body.

She has also seen officials who were supposed to be asking for help from the people, who wanted to kill tens of thousands of refugees, deceived the superiors and the inferiors, and continued to sit back and relax, doing nothing but becoming the most qualified person to speak in this area.

In the sixth princess's warehouse, the hardships and embarrassments of the people, and even their flesh and blood, are everywhere.

Why didn't she say anything?
  If she didn't say anything, how would she be any different from those officials who deceived superiors and concealed things from subordinates?

"You praise me every word, but what did your father say to you?"

The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy, with a ruthless look on his face. How would a high-ranking woman who has lived in a boudoir for a long time know about the current sufferings in the world even if she has read all the books in the Taifu Mansion?

She was clearly mentioned by someone!

"My father didn't say anything to his daughter. He only warned his daughter from time to time that as a minister, one should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic and not to hide anything. My daughter just told the emperor what she saw truthfully. The king is benevolent and the minister is upright."

"What you saw? How did you, a daughter-in-law who has never left the capital, see these things?"

Emperor Wenyuan's voice became louder and louder, and everyone in the palace lowered their heads. Even the Sixth Princess did not dare to speak easily.

"Just now, the Sixth Princess was looking at the rare treasures that Anrui County paid tribute a few days ago. She happened to talk about it, and my daughter also listened for a while. My daughter read in a book that Anrui County is also considered a king in our dynasty. The emperor can take a look at the list of the prosperous land. The income and taxes from those fiefdoms are even difficult for Anyang County to sustain, let alone the remaining 80% of the people in other places."

The discerning palace servant had already handed over the account book, and saw Emperor Wenyuan flipping through a few pages, but his face became increasingly ugly, as if it was a sign that a storm was about to come.

"Teacher Wen taught me well. You can actually see the problem with such a complicated account book at a glance. Even Huai'an is not as smart as you."

Emperor Wenyuan stared at Wen Jiu pitifully, as if he still refused to believe that she could say such horrific things through this account book.

Wen Jiu's heart was startled, thinking that he might be a drag on his father, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, there are not many rules in my daughter's family. Perhaps my daughter has been in poor health since she was a child. One more day to live is just one day. Dad and mother He also indulged his daughter very much and taught her whatever she wanted to learn."

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can use a few more account books to test your daughter, and you will naturally know that what she said is true."

"Come here." Concubine Rou was about to ask someone to get it, but was abruptly interrupted by Emperor Wenyuan.

"No need, I believe you have this ability. A tiger father has no dog son, even if it is a daughter, she will not be bad."

Emperor Wenyuan took another deep look at Wen Jiu and saw her standing with her back straight, her face bloodless but showing determination that other women had never seen on their faces.
  On the contrary, she has found a good daughter-in-law for her imperial sister, but whether it is a blessing or a curse depends entirely on her.

"I will verify the authenticity of the "food and clothing issue" you mentioned. I still have something to do."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Everyone knelt down.

It wasn't until Emperor Wenyuan walked out of Anrui Palace that Wen Jiu's figure swayed, and her inner clothes were stained with sweat.

"Jiu'er, you scared me to death."

Si Huaian held his chest and breathed heavily.

"You really haven't changed at all. When you were a child, your father wanted to punish a palace maid who accidentally poured tea on you. You were so stunned that your father couldn't say a word."

"Oh, that's right." Wen Jiu calmed down and gave Si Huaian a comforting smile.

"I didn't expect you to see so many problems from those things. No wonder your father contradicts you so much and he doesn't blame you. He must think what you said is very reasonable."

Wen Jiu looked at the direction in which Emperor Wenyuan was leaving. His heart was unpredictable. Would he really not embarrass his father? Or, will he really verify what he said?
  I'm afraid that if I pull a hair, my whole body will be affected.
  　The last day of the third round! Go!
