The queen is alluring

Chapter 28

Yun Qing listened to the private discussions of the officials on both sides, but her face was still expressionless. She calmly took the tea bowl offered by Gong'e, stroked the green tea leaves gently and gracefully, and took a sip. Slowly put down the teacup.

Although the tea bowl was put down lightly, the sound of it falling on the ebony coffee table with phoenix tail was extremely crisp.

Those ministers who were chattering were all stunned when they heard this sound, and then they looked at each other, and they fell silent for a moment with different expressions, and they all stared straight at Yun Qing.But Yun Qing didn't do it on purpose, he sat dignified and kneeling, with a calm and indifferent expression, like a noble and arrogant king, no one dared to look at him closely.

It is really rare for a six-year-old girl to have such terrifying courage, so the ministers who were puzzled just now began to speculate and weigh each other, wanting to know the real strength of this little queen.

The little emperor Ling Yexuan was also slightly taken aback by the dragon chair behind the curtain of bright yellow dense gauze. A look of astonishment flashed across his deep eyes. Then, his thin lips parted slightly, and a deep voice came through the gauze. Came from the curtain: "I heard that the empress has outstanding talents and temperament, and I have seen it today. No wonder the empress dowager praised the empress as 'graceful, elegant, dignified and sharp'."

Yun Qing's gaze sank slightly, she turned her head slowly, and looked at Ling Yexuan from the side of the curtain.The noon sun shines on the white jade floor tiles, reflecting his bright yellow dragon robe and purple jade golden crown. The light shines through his carved profile like a knife and axe, and his slightly parted thin lips are stained with a holy luster.

When we met for the first time as a baby, this face was already imprinted in Yun Qing's heart. After six years, his eyebrows became more heroic and his eyes became more wise, but his hostility towards her was the only thing that remained unchanged. .

"The empress dowager praised you absurdly. The concubine was taught by her father at home and followed the way of father's kindness and filial piety. Today, she is showing her shame in front of the emperor and your lords. If there is something wrong, please don't think that my concubine is young and ignorant. "Yun Qing said lightly, although it was a humble word, but the taste of saying it was shocking.

Ling Yexuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Qing. When he saw Yun Qing's eyes that were almost ethereal, his complexion paused, and his eyes became condensed.

Ever since he was canonized as the crown prince, no one had dared to look at him so directly, so when seeing Yun Qing's presumptuous but indifferent eyes, Ling Yexuan's heart shook and his jaw tensed.

Above the Royal Garden, the scorching sun was scorching, and the cicadas were singing louder and louder, making people uneasy.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that Yun Qing dared to look directly at the emperor so presumptuously and calmly, but then the atmosphere became more and more depressed.Because, the emperor didn't speak, and under the scorching hot sun, the little queen's face was calm, her eyes were as calm as water, and that unintentional look made people feel in a trance. I just felt that she should be so presumptuous. And very natural.

However, some people don't think so.

"Empress" at this moment, Wu Yisi, the Minister of Rites who had been silently watching, suddenly came out. He said with a serious face and a firm expression: "I have heard that the Empress interpreted the Book of Songs when she was three years old, and she was familiar with the art of war when she was four years old. Therefore, I would like to ask the empress a thing or two."

Wu Yisi's single-handed attack stunned the ministers in the row. The head of the military general on the right, wearing a unicorn-embroidered court uniform, suddenly tightened his eyebrows, and his eyes could not help showing worry.He glanced at Wu Yisi coldly, the hands under the wide sleeves of the court uniform had already clenched into fists.

Ling Yexuan's sword eyebrows moved slightly, and he stared deeply at Yun Qing, and then his thin lips were slightly raised, and a happy smile appeared in his eyes.

The light in Yun Qing's eyes moved slightly, and then he knew why Ling Yexuan was smiling.He wanted to watch a play, to see how she would deal with the difficulties of the ministers.

This is the hurdle that Yun Qing has to go through, but it is also what she has been waiting for.Since ancient times, if a woman as a queen wants to establish prestige in the court, she must first pass the checkpoints of these tricky ministers, because their disobedience means the dissatisfaction of the majority of powerful ministers, and if they submit, more than half of the ministers in the court will will also surrender.

As for the Empress Dowager Wang, she just failed to establish prestige in the court, so she never had the power to support the Wang family.Courtiers most taboo foreign relatives to interfere in politics.

Yun Qing looked back, the necklace on the bun was close to her black temples, hanging down on her chest, two emerald green jadeites swayed slowly, adding a touch of majesty to her nobility, and everything at this moment also reflected In Wu Yisi's eyes, he narrowed his dark eyes slightly.

"It's the first time for me to meet you adults. Please forgive me for not knowing what your lord's position is. If you say anything that offends or neglects you, please be more forgiving." Yun Qing's expression remained unchanged, but his words Clear and shocking, the word 'Ben Gong' was spoken out of her mouth, which made people feel frightened.

Afterwards, Yun Qing's eyes fell on Leng Zhantian, who had a serious face and tight jaw, and said crisply: "General Wei Lie, please introduce to me, what is the official position of this lord?"

Leng Zhantian was taken aback, he was stunned for a moment, but then he came out, stood side by side with Wu Yisi, and said respectfully: "Return to the empress, this is Mr. Wu Yisiwu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

"Back off" Yun Qing spoke again, with an undeniable threat in his words, and then said to Wu Yisi, whose face had changed countless times at this moment: "It turns out that it is the Minister of Rites, and I am rude, but I don't know what advice Master Wu has? ?”

Using the word "advise" instead of giving "education" can be said to be neither humble nor overbearing. It neither puts on the queen's airs, but also makes the ministers feel panic.

Sure enough, Wu Yisi raised the hem of his robe and knelt down on the ground, saying: "The Queen's words are serious, and the old minister dare not be. I just want to ask the Queen's Lady, after I laid down this piece of Xuanye Kingdom to the founding emperor Taizu, I have established a In order that the courtiers are not allowed to interfere in the harem, the emperor is the ruler of the harem. The empress is certainly the master of the harem, but the words 'family' and 'country' are inseparable. Since the harem system has not been enacted since the Taizu, the empress's statement today, Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules and norms that I set up to the Taizu?"

As soon as Wu Yisi said this, the officials seemed to have suddenly found a support, they all nodded and said: "Yes, what Master Wu said is very true, very..."

Ling Yexuan's eyes darkened behind the curtain, and then he squinted at Yun Qing who was sitting on Luan's cushion, and the playful smile on his thin lips became more intense.

Yun Qing felt the malicious gaze behind her, her heart sank, and then she straightened her spine.

"Masters of Wu University are well-educated, they are the pillars of the country, but I would like to ask Mr. Wu, what is 'advancing with the times' and 'renovating the old'?" Yun Qing said calmly, but turned the originally difficult question back Throw it to Wu Yisi.
