Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

In the past few days, Xia Houqi and Nangong Rui came to Chu Xi one after another to tell her what she should pay attention to when going to court. Although Chu Xi was older than the other, she still listened attentively.

Nangong Rui also informed the courtiers in advance that since the Emperor Ji had returned, she would have to get in touch with the government as soon as possible, become familiar with affairs, and assume her responsibilities. To this, the courtiers had no reason to object.

They only had a quick glance at the Emperor Ji at His Majesty's birthday banquet. What happened that day was too sudden. It was only after all the courtiers returned that they realized that the so-called gift from the Regent was just a plan planned by His Majesty and the Regent early in the morning. of.

Finally, under the expectation of all, Chu Xi entered the court wearing a gorgeous and solemn court dress.

Xia Houqi came extra early today just to help Chu Xi deal with possible difficulties.

No, not long after Chu Xi appeared, some ministers came forward to get close to her, but they were all blocked by Xia Hou.

Everyone dared to be angry but dare not speak out when facing the evil regent.

How come Di Ji is treated like he is the only one doing this?Although the two were engaged, they didn't protect her like this.

Only the eldest prince, who had already understood everything, sneered at the fawning expressions of everyone, thinking that they were all clowns.

When it was almost time, I heard Eunuch Fu singing loudly:
"Your Majesty is here—"

Everyone immediately became solemn and stood upright. After Nangong Rui took his seat, they all knelt down and saluted.

There were only three people standing in the court hall: Nangong Chuxi, Xia Houqi and the eldest prince.

"All the ministers are of the same family." Nangong Rui glanced at everyone lightly and then said.

While they were getting up, Nangong Rui kept winking at Chu Xi, as if asking her if she was still used to it.

Chu Xi saw that Nangong Rui was winking at her, not as serious as an emperor at all, so she couldn't help but smile and gave him a relieved look.

Nangong Fuyang saw his father, who had always been extremely serious, actually winking openly in the court. His eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness, and his fists clenched down behind him.

After that, it is the normal process of the court meeting. Things that have been mentioned before are brought up again in the court. If they can be solved, they will be solved in court. If they cannot be solved, they will be postponed to the next court meeting.

Everything was normal and peaceful until the end of the court meeting, when Xiao Changheng stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial -"

"My dear, just tell me."

Nangong Rui raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Changheng, feeling that this guy had nothing to hold back.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Emperor Ji has been found. Your Majesty should give Emperor Ji a position so that Emperor Ji can start helping Your Majesty handle government affairs, in order to inherit the throne in the future." Xiao Changheng said very calmly.

When Xiao Changheng said these words, everyone including Nangong Rui felt a little surprised:

This old guy actually supports Di Ji's integration into the court?

Chu Xi originally thought that Xiao Changheng stood up to say something unfavorable to her. After all, his daughter was still working as a concubine in the Prince Regent's Palace. He would be the princess in the future, so he would help her daughter target him no matter what.

In this way, she seemed to be petty.

"What Aiqing said makes sense, so according to what Aiqing said, where do you think it would be best for Emperor Ji to serve?" Nangong Rui asked with a smile.

"In my opinion, Di Ji is not very familiar with the ministers in the court now, so it would be better for her to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs first, and then all my subordinates will be better. After she is familiar with the personnel and various affairs in the court, she will go to other places. Department appointment." Xiao Changheng said respectfully.

Nangong Rui squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to see what Xiao Changheng was up to through his eyes, but Xiao Changheng behaved very normally, with absolutely no flaws.

"Di Ji, what do you think?" After a long time, Nangong Rui looked at her precious daughter and asked her opinion. "Back to my father, I think what General Xiao said is true. I have no objection. It all depends on my father." Chu Xi replied very officially.

Hearing Chu Xi say this, Nangong Rui felt relieved.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is currently vacating the position of chief clerk. Di Ji will take over the position of chief clerk first." Nangong Rui looked at Chu Xi and said.

"Yes, my son obeys the order."

Later, Nangong Rui ordered the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Hubu to help Chu Xi with his work.

After going to court, Chu Xi followed Nangong Rui to the imperial study room, and Xia Houqi also followed Chu Xi.

The two of them were walking behind Nangong Rui. From time to time, Xia Houqi would touch Chu Xi's hand and touch her waist. Chu Xi even dodged it. After dodging, she glared at him, telling him to restrain himself and stop being messy. Come.

Nangong Rui noticed the small movements of the two people. He turned around suddenly and saw two people pushing.

Chu Xi's heart skipped a beat, and then she slapped Xia Houqi hard.

Xia Houqi didn't expect to be caught by His Majesty, and his face suddenly felt awkward.

Fortunately, Nangong Rui didn't say anything more. He just gave Xia Houqi a warning look and continued walking forward.

After being intimidated by Nangong Rui, Xia Houqi did not dare to mess around again and followed him obediently until he entered the imperial study.

After arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Chu Xi was still immersed in the embarrassment of being hit by Nangong Rui and never recovered.

"Xiao Xi'er——"

It wasn't until Nangong Rui called her several times that Chu Xi came back to her senses.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"Why are you so distracted? Are you feeling unwell?" Nangong Rui looked at Chu Xi worriedly and asked.

"No. I just got up too early in the morning, and I'm still a little sleepy now." Chu Xi answered directly without thinking too much.

Hearing this, Nangong Rui's eyes were very doting, and then he said:

"Then Xiao Xi'er can't sleep in anymore. As the emperor's concubine, she has to be present at every court meeting. My father also feels sorry for you and wants you to sleep a little longer, but the courtiers will have objections. Xiao Xi'er will Be a little aggrieved and adapt to it as soon as possible."

"I know that my father, I am just not used to it on the first day, but I will get used to it gradually after that." Chu Xi explained very embarrassedly.

She just said it casually, who knew her father would be so serious about coaxing her.

After seeing this, Nangong Rui smiled with satisfaction, then looked at someone with a playful face and glared at him:
"You kid, you just bullied Xiao Xi'er behind my back! Don't think I didn't see it, you're still laughing now!"

When Xia Houqi was scolded, he immediately stopped smiling and quickly apologized:

"I have overstepped my bounds. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."

"Hmph, tell me, what does that old man Xiao Changheng want to do? Hao Duanduan actually offered to let Xiao Xi'er work in the Ministry of Household Affairs? Do you want to do something behind the scenes?" Nangong Rui asked Xia Houqi.

"I think he underestimated Di Ji. He felt that Di Ji would be overwhelmed when she went to a complicated department like the Ministry of Revenue, and even offended many officials, so he secretly gave Di Ji eye drops." Xia Houqi said sharply.

This idea coincided with Chu Xi's idea at that time, and she thought so too! (End of chapter)
