After pinching the tyrant's peach blossoms, I was favored

Chapter 187 Forcing Si Xie
Immediately afterwards, Qian Ziyun and Si Yuelin presented gifts.

One offered pen and ink, and the other offered inkstone...

They are really similar to Ning Kui, and they are even more shabby than the other.

Ning Qingling's face was as black as ink, and she didn't know how much effort she had to suppress her hatred and anger.

Fortunately, the next thing is that the various palaces in the palace began to present gifts.

Those servants still have to live in this palace, so naturally they dare not offend her.

Therefore, although the gift presented was not very precious, it was still pleasing to the eye.

"A gift from the Shangyi Bureau..."

Although there are a lot of beautiful women in the Shangyi Bureau, it has always been managed by the father-in-law, and there are no female officials.

But this time it was not the father-in-law in charge, but a beautiful woman who came in with a group of embroiderers carrying trays.

"The slave girl Luanniang has met the emperor, long live the emperor; the empress dowager is a thousand years old; the empress dowager is a thousand years old..."

An Luan saluted one by one.

Hearing her ugly voice, everyone lost a lot of interest.

Some ministers even snorted coldly.

Looking at her figure, she is a beauty, but why is her voice so ugly, like an old woman.

If they knew An Luan's real age, their expressions would be even uglier.

An Luan wore a veil, only revealing a pair of eyes, looking fixedly at Ning Qingling.

When meeting An Luan's eyes, Ning Qing's face froze severely.

These eyes...how could they give her such a familiar feeling.

Over the years, she has only seen a woman whose eyes are like a fox, seductive.

However, the woman had been dead for many years.

Moreover, even if she was alive, she would not dare to appear in the capital.

Ning Qingyu, who was covered in cold sweat from being frightened, gradually calmed down, and she said in a bad tone: "Where is the father-in-law in charge of the Shangyi Bureau, why are you here?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this servant is the new maid in charge of the Shangyi Bureau. This time, your maidservant in palace costume is also involved. It would be more appropriate for this servant to explain it to you in detail." An Luan hid his eyes With a murderous look, he replied very docilely.

"Well, let's talk..."

In front of all civil and military officials, Ning Qingyi didn't bother to embarrass a little nun, so she nodded quickly.

An Luan motioned for the embroiderer to unfold the palace attire. The high-breasted black wide-sleeved gown was embroidered with dark red patterns, outlined one by one with dark black silk threads.

It's pretty...

Ning Qingyi finally showed a satisfied expression, she nodded, and then said: "Reward."

Seeing the people in Ning Qing's palace come to take away the robes, An Luan lowered his head, looking very docile.

But only she knew how cold and sarcastic her eyes were at this moment.

This palace robe was specially given to Ning Qingyi by her, I hope she will not regret it.

Ning Feng was so ill that he didn't come to the palace banquet, it really disappointed her...

She also wanted to have a good time with his old friend.

"Why don't you see King Jingrui?"

At this moment, Ning Kui picked up the teacup, looked around, and then asked meaningfully.

When this topic fell, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

That's right, where did King Jingrui go?
It seemed that after he left just now, he never came back.

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Si Xie's eyes.

At this moment, a man in a white robe came out.

"Si Tao visited the emperor. This time, he was ordered by the patriarch to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. There is another matter that the patriarch specially explained..."

The man knelt down, then raised his head, looking at Si Xie fearlessly.

"Oh, what did the patriarch specifically explain?"

"The Si family clan has served the royal family since ancient times and helped the royal family to stabilize the country. Naturally, if the royal family is in turmoil, the clan must also take action. Recently, the patriarch heard some rumors. It is said that the emperor... your jade seal is missing. Your majesty, the jade seal is the throne Basically, back then, the two princes, the eldest princess and the clan strongly promoted you to the throne, and you also made a promise to keep the jade seal, but now the jade seal has disappeared..."

Si Tao opened his mouth pretending to be embarrassed.

The ministers next to him were a little panicked when they heard this.

How could the emperor not even be able to protect the jade seal!

This is a symbol of imperial power, if it is taken away by someone with a heart, what should I do?
Besides, when the emperor came to the throne, his name was not right and wrong. If it weren't for the eldest princess and the clan handing over the jade seal to him, he wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly.

Because the ancestors were worried that the power struggle of the royal family would lead to brotherhood and bloodshed, so they established the rules——

Follow the emperor's will!Before the first emperor died, whoever was enthroned would be the next emperor.

If the previous emperor had no will, then whoever owns the jade seal will be the new emperor!
As a result, when they became courtiers, the situation of the first emperor was a bit special.

Some people said that the first emperor intended to let the first emperor ascend the throne, while others said that the first emperor wanted the exiled seventh prince to ascend the throne. There are different opinions.

But because of the sudden death of the first emperor, there is no way to verify everything.

And a more special situation at that time was that the jade seal was temporarily placed on the clan's side for safekeeping.

Therefore, the ancestor's rhetoric about "who gets the jade seal, who gets the throne" is also not appropriate. .

Therefore, a mighty battle for the throne began.

During that time, corpses were strewn all over the field, and many princes died. The humble Si Xie led his soldiers and horses all the way into the palace.

In that battle, if Si Xie were to fight again, it would take at least half a year to subdue everyone. I don’t know what will happen in this battle.

Therefore, the clan stood up and chose to support Si Xie as the superior, and one of the demands was that he guard the jade seal well.

In addition, they don't know what kind of deal was reached.

But the rhetoric on the surface is - Yuxi, the emperor must protect it.

If the protection is not good, it is immoral!

What kind of emperor is he who can't even protect the jade seal well?
If the emperor really lost the jade seal, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to sit on this dragon chair.

"Isn't the clan envoy's statement a little too absurd? How could our emperor lose the jade seal?"

Ning Kui poured himself a glass of wine, sipped it slowly, and said something like this.

These words, it seems, are not so much speaking for the emperor, as they are flirting.

And Ning Kui deliberately raised his wine glass, smiled at Si Xie, and drank the wine in one gulp.

These people actually started to deal with Si Xie again.

Then he, Ning Kui, has to watch the show well.

The courtiers who supported Si Xie turned black when they saw Ning Kui's move.

But the courtiers who opposed Sixie gloated.

Some even stood up on their own initiative.

For example, Su Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, walked to the middle of the hall, made a scribbled salute, and then said loudly: "The words of the clan envoys mean that they don't trust our emperor. The emperor is wise and mighty, careful and cautious, so how could he do that?" Can't even protect a mere jade seal?"
