Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 552 The Emperor's Mind

But now the three officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are kneeling on the sleeping phoenix hall, with trembling expressions on their faces, it is indeed embarrassing for them.

Tong Xiaowu looked up at them, and the maids on both sides behind her came over with a stove, put it on the tea table, and retreated.

"You guys take care of things, let Eunuch Li hand in the list when the time comes, I still have some money here, just use it for them..."

"But there was no case in the previous dynasty, so I'm afraid that doing so will leave future generations with something to talk about!"

"What can I say, the treasury is full, the people and officials are easy to do, and the country is poor, so some things must be tight, so people in later generations will still force the king because the county king has no money?

Besides, the money came from me, so you don’t have to worry about it. However, one of this matter is one, and the other is two. Anyone should not try to embezzle me from the middle, otherwise let me know, and I will never lenient"

"Yes..." The three ministers withdrew.

Among the three officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one is the son-in-law of the eldest princess. From the second-rank official Bai Rige, the Ministry of Internal Affairs supervises the post of cashier in the palace. This position is a fat job. For more than half a year, he has spent a lot of money in this position.

The procuratorate had already reported this matter not long after Xuanyuan Yuchen entered Beijing, Tong Xiaowu had heard about it when he was in Beizhou, and now, the new emperor has not ascended the throne, so it is not easy to deal with him immediately.

Although the evidence of his greed for money and silver was conclusive when he was in the same generation, since Xuanyuan Yuchen came to Beijing, he has been clean and has not found any suspicious phenomena. Maybe he hasn't dared to do anything yet. Of course, she hopes that he will always He didn't dare to make a move, so that he could save his own life.

The reason why Tong Xiaowu beat him was also to avoid embarrassment when he found clues and dealt with him later.

"Nurse Zhang, I ordered you to handle this matter with Eunuch Li. Remember that the list in the palace must match the list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you will supervise it yourself when the palace maid leaves the palace, right? Go to Mr. An and let him know to prepare 2 taels of silver and hand it over to Ben Gong tomorrow."

"Yes!"

This nanny is the younger sister of Nanny Zhang who was killed by her predecessors in Beizhou because of Tong Xiaowu's reputation. Before that, she had been working under Wang Taifei, and now she was sent to her side.

This concubine has gone through three dynasties of emperors. She is now in her 70s and has no children. She is spending her life in the harem, and this nanny is the one she sent over. There is a lot of help.

After these two days of contact, Tong Xiaowu felt that this person was not bad, loyal and reliable, so she stayed by her side.

In the next few days, the palace was very busy, and there were five days before the grand ceremony. That night, an official dinner was held in the palace. Officials of the third rank and above and their families could participate in the dinner.

Tong Xiaowu was born in the countryside, so she doesn't have much airs.

Moreover, she has a beautiful appearance, an extraordinary bearing, and owns the largest commercial enterprise in Xuanyuan. In addition, this year's dinner is different from the usual ones. All the tribal leaders from the northern Ming tribes and the Kyushu states in the western Xinjiang all attended the dinner for the first time, so there was naturally a lot of excitement.

Needless to say, the Emperor Xuanyuan, the princess, the princess, the master of the county, and the young ladies and princes of the various mansions compete for beauty.

Unexpectedly, the Xijiang Changqi Department also came to join in the fun. Two beautiful beauties were sent to the banquet to start a unique dance performance, and in front of many civil and military officials and family members , with a wine glass hanging in his mouth, he toasted Xuanyuan Yuchen.

And that dance really blinded everyone's eyes. The two women from the Changqi Department in Xijiang are graceful, light and beautiful, and their twists, turns, frowns and smiles are really charming. Their naked clothes really amazed everyone and their eyes almost protruded.

And when the dance music was over and the woman hung upside down and appeared in front of Xuanyuan Yuchen with two wine glasses in her mouth, the people below gasped even more.

You must know that the current emperor just dismissed two officials half a month ago because of the fact that the ministers of the court filled his harem with beauty pageants, and now everyone dare not think about it at all.

Unexpectedly, in this gap, the Changqi Department of Xijiang, which had just been included in the territory of Xuanyuan, would commit crimes against the wind and openly let the dancer seduce the emperor in front of everyone.

Everyone was watching this scene, the two women were still bent back like this, just waiting for the emperor to give them a chance?

From the emperor's point of view, there is no doubt that the scenery is very good.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Yuchen frowned slightly, then looked back at Tong Xiaowu who was sitting next to him, and saw that she was also surprised, looked at the two in front of her, and turned to look at him.

"I understand! Bai Zewei is here?" Suddenly, Xuanyuan Yuchen called out Bai Zewei's name.

The second seat on the left is Bai Zewei. Since Beiming was captured by Xuanyuan Yuchen, he hastily returned to Xuanyuan from Nanrong Kingdom. On the other side is Tong Xiaowu.

However, Prince Xuan's Mansion in Beizhou has been prevaricating him with the reason that "the princess is in poor health and does not see anyone". He also met Li Xiang and Li Chun during the period, but these two women refused to say anything, only telling him to hurry up Leaving Beizhou, don't mention the matter of the princess again.

In the past six months, he had thought about all the possibilities about Tong Xiaowu, and he even suspected that Xuanyuan Yuchen had killed Tong Xiaowu, but he never found evidence.

It wasn't until a month ago that Xuanyuan Yuchen suddenly brought Tong Xiaowu back to the capital that he knew she was well.

Although something must have happened during the period, as long as she is safe, he is already content.

It wasn't until three days ago, after he had written more than a dozen letters to Tong Xiaowu, that she met her and summoned him. At this time, he really realized that this woman had become a high-ranking queen.

He always thought that after seeing her relationship with Xuanyuan Yuchen, he had already given up on her.

But for some reason, when she let him lie down and asked him how he was doing with a smile, he felt so unwilling in his heart.

He knew that no matter how unwilling he was, he would have no chance. In the Buzhou Mutual Market, that was his last chance, but she did not agree with his plan. Since then, there has been no possibility for the two of them.

Even so, he hoped that she would be safe and happy!

After the meeting, Bai Zewei didn't dare to stay in the harem for a long time, but left the palace after leaving the peace talisman prayed for her in the temple of Nanrong Kingdom and the silver ticket for dysentery pills sold to Nanrong a year ago.
