Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 308 Smile for Pomeranians (1)
After the accident of the treasured duck golden hairpin, the queen of the Zhou Dynasty, Bao Si, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was deeply saddened by the corruption of the harem, so she personally invited Ming Gong and sent the doctor Cheng Rong to the inner palace that manages the affairs of the royal family to clean up the eunuchs' bad habits of extortion and bribery. .

"I would like to report to the empress, after a few days of careful checking of the accounts, I found that the inner palace was in a great deficit. Also, the eunuchs in charge of each palace, relying on the power of the master, secretly accepted bribes from local officials. On the way, there were more than a dozen incidents, please look at the empress." In Lishan Jianjia Palace, the senior doctor Cheng Rong was ordered to have an audience, and presented the account book of the inspection of the inner palace to Baosi.

Bao Si's phoenix eyes opened slightly, she read the file carefully, and said lightly, "Master Cheng Rong, I will report these matters to the king, but you must keep your mouth shut, and don't spread the results to the public." Outside, in case the villain makes trouble."

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Cheng Rong bowed his hands in admiration.

The evening breeze in Lishan is bleak and mellow, lingering with the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus and hibiscus, making the area around Jianjia Palace refreshing. , came to see Baosi with great interest.

"My concubine, Si'er, pay my respects to the king." Axi opened the thin curtain, Baosi stepped forward and saluted Ming Gong.

"Get up, Si'er." Ming Gong looked delighted, and hurriedly helped Bao Si up.

Baosi held on to Minggong's hand, and took the opportunity to hand Minggong the inner court dossier presented by Cheng Rong.

Ming Gong opened his eyes and couldn't help frowning his eyebrows and said: "I really didn't expect that corruption is so serious just in the harem!" Bao Si answered from the side: "It's no wonder that the imperial palace is the most powerful place in the world. Abusing and oppressing the country's laws will naturally create opportunities for some youngsters, as evidenced by the fact that the gold hairpins bestowed to Xue'er by the king last time were sold as favors by the eunuchs."

Minggong immediately shook his head and said: "Si'er, this is what I'm angry with these few days. You said that even the widow bestowed a gift on the concubine, and some people dared to blackmail it in disguise and make money by embezzling it. How dare you think they are! "

"Your Majesty, punishing corruption is not something that can be done overnight. The fundamental solution is to curb the abuse of power from the source and improve the system." Bao Si said with a frown.

"Oh. Si'er, while we're talking, we've changed the matter from the Jianjia Palace to the government. It's all my fault. Originally, this trip to the west of Lishan Mountain was just to make you relax and laugh a little longer. My son, I didn't expect that you, a good empress, would be bothered." Ming Gong said with a smile.

"My lord, my servant saw with my own eyes yesterday that the young master smiled. It happened when Mr. Xue Gui came." At this time, Axi who was beside Baosi hurriedly interjected happily.

"It's good to smile, Si'er, to be honest, I haven't seen you smile for a long time, a flower of interpreting words, always frowning, frowning, even if you hold it back, you will have problems." Mingong Rou Ning, who was attached to Baosi, looked carefully at Baosi's delicate face.

Bao Si pursed her lips lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to do it, but I just can't laugh. Maybe I'm used to it."

"That widow can't bring Mrs. Xuegui every day to see you show your smile." Mingong couldn't help but teasingly said.

"Your Majesty was joking, and now, even Mr. Xue Gui is here, our little master might not be able to laugh anymore." Axi pouted and muttered.

"You girl, you are getting more and more playful. Tell me, why can't you little master laugh." Mingong looked at Axi happily.
