So Shen Yunjing quickly turned around and said to the emperor: "Father calm down, maybe the ministers really have something to do? I wonder if Father asked them carefully about the reason?"

The emperor stared at those ministers, and said angrily: "Before I had time to ask, they all made excuses one by one by saying that they didn't have any girls of the right age in their family."

Shen Yunjing turned around and said to the ministers: "Why don't you explain in detail why there are no girls of the right age at home?"

Those ministers lowered their heads one by one, wanting to look up to see if anyone around them spoke first, but they dared not.

So Shen Yunjing had no choice but to call his name and said: "Master Zhang, why don't you talk about it first?"

Mr. Zhang, who was named, quickly knelt down, raised his head, and said earnestly to the emperor who was sitting behind the desk: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the old minister's family is really... hey... Originally, there was a daughter in the old minister's family. At the age of sixteen, when the emperor asked you about it last time, she was still in her boudoir...but then...later..."

"What happened afterwards? Tell me!" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked angrily.

"Didn't the imperial concubine die later... I heard... I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince will observe mourning for the imperial concubine for three years... This... the old minister has the final say. After three years, the old minister's daughter will be 19 years old, let alone She has mediocre qualifications and ordinary appearance, so even if she participated in the concubine selection, she might not be able to be selected, so the old minister... made the decision without authorization and betrothed her... just got married the day before yesterday... really... there is no way... "

The emperor listened to his words, and after a moment of silence, he slapped the table and said, "Nonsense, do you dare to believe those rumors in the palace?"

"It's the old minister's fault! Please punish the emperor!" Mr. Zhang put his head on the ground and cried to the emperor.

Shen Yunjing pursed her lips, tried to suppress her smile, and then said to the emperor: "Father, don't be angry, why don't you ask other adults, Master Liu, what's the situation on your side?"

Master Liu, who was pointed out, also knelt down beside Master Zhang, crying to the emperor with snot and tears: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. There are two daughters in my family, and the eldest daughter died as early as the year before last." She is already married to another woman, and has a young daughter who just turned fourteen this year. A few days ago, when the youngest daughter followed her mother to the mountain to worship the Buddha, she accidentally rolled down the mountain because of her naughtiness. But he sprained his foot... and may not be able to walk normally in the future..."

"It's not that I don't want my little daughter to participate in the crown prince's concubine selection ceremony, it's just that she's so lame... she doesn't deserve to participate in the concubine selection..."

Hearing Master Liu's words, the emperor took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his efforts, and turned to him in a concerned tone: "It turned out to be like this, then did Master Liu ask the imperial physician in the palace to help your daughter?" Let's see, what will be the root of the disease in the future?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have already asked Imperial Physician Chen to take a look at it. The main reason is that the little girl has injured her bones. She may spend her whole life... ah..."

As Master Liu was talking, he couldn't help but reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Listening to what he said, Shen Yunjing also looked at him with a sympathetic expression.

The emperor was a little speechless, so he had no choice but to turn his head to Mr. Li who was standing aside and said, "What's the situation at Mr. Li's house?"
