first class maid

Chapter 20
Yu Wentai looked back and forth between Xun Zhen's face and the picture of Avalokitesvara delivering a child. How can such a picture be explained in this way? "I've never heard what you said?" His voice was more suspicious than disbelieving. After all, who wouldn't listen to such good words?
"Your Majesty, in Buddhism, it has never been determined whether Guanyin is a man or a woman. In this picture, the son and the woman both appear at the same time. How dare the servants speak nonsense to deceive His Majesty?" After Xun Zhen finished speaking, he kowtowed deeply. Head up.

Yu Wenhong got up in a timely manner and said to his father: "Father, I think what this little court lady said is not unreasonable. Although it is far-fetched, the starting point is to hope that the country will be safe and the people will be safe, and Concubine Shu will give birth to the little emperor and the little emperor sister safely." , this is a good thing."

Yu Wentai's ears are soft, although he is like thunder when he is angry, but he is easily deceived by some specious words, otherwise, why did the Xun family's unjust case come about? "Well, what the emperor said makes some sense."

Xun Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly looked at Xu You, seeing a slight sign of approval in her eyes, his face softened slightly to Ji.

After listening to Xun Zhen's flattering words, Concubine Shu felt very happy, and now she cherishes the sachet that she wished to cut to pieces just now, "It's hard for your Shanggong Bureau to pay this kind of money." Thoughts."

Finally, the rain was over, and Empress Tang was about to take the opportunity to ask Yu Wentai to forgive the crimes of everyone in the Shanggong Bureau, but the weak and willow-looking Concubine Feng Gui smiled with comfort and relief, "Your Majesty, The concubine's heart was beating so hard when she heard it. It was a turn of events. It would be impossible to do without a little effort. Why didn't you say it earlier? You just made Concubine Shu lose her temper a lot. If you just explained to Concubine Shu, Why did you come to this unjust incident?" In the end, he looked at Xun Zhen meekly and kindly, and smiled slightly.

This sentence seems to be soft and weak, but it hits the point. It is clear that these words are lying until now. This is not the original intention of Shanggong Bureau, but a sophistry to shirk responsibility.

"If you had explained this clearly to me early on, why did I want to beat you up? You even alarmed the emperor, what was your intention? You explained it clearly to me?" Concubine Shu immediately launched an attack.

Xun Zhen already had his heart in his throat when Concubine Feng Guifei was speaking, and she still found a loophole. Seeing that the emperor's expression changed from sunny to cloudy, he quickly kowtowed again, "Slave... I am the first female historian , I was about to report to Concubine Shu, but... His Majesty arrived suddenly, and the servants saw Tianyan for the first time, and were immediately overwhelmed by His Majesty's dragon spirit, and were too scared to speak for a while, which made Concubine Shu I lost my temper in vain, it is indeed the fault of the servant."

"She just became a female historian today, so it's reasonable to panic for a while, Zhuang Dianzhi, but why didn't you report everything to Concubine Shu in time?" Xu You pointed the finger at Zhuang Dianzhi, and she will be held responsible for this negligence. responsibility.

Because of Xun Zhen's ingenious arguments, Zhuang Dianzhi's face gradually turned red. Hearing Xu You's words, his face turned pale, "Slaves, servants... I was also frightened for a while, besides this time The embroidery was not done by slaves, and slaves do not have a thorough understanding of Xunnu Shi."

"It seems that they didn't intend to hide it. The imperial concubine made a big fuss. Why does the concubine Shu have to get along with a few court ladies? Now it is the dragon species that is important." Empress Tang stood up with a motherly demeanor, "Prince, why are you so good Are you here at Shuming Palace?" He changed the subject in a timely manner.

Only then did Emperor Yu Wentai stop being entangled in this trivial matter, and only then did he realize that the prince's arrival was inappropriate, "Emperor, what happened?"

Yu Wenhong got up and said, "I tell my father that there is an urgent military situation in the frontier. After receiving the news, I came to report to my father." Although my father trusts him quite a bit now, in order to prevent villains from spreading rumors, so important things must be done. I will report it to my father as soon as possible.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Yu Wentai shouted angrily, "Has Prime Minister Xuan Liu entered the palace yet?" He stood up while talking, "My concubine, I will come to see you later."

Several concubines present hurriedly saluted and sent the emperor off.

"Father, although it is an urgent military situation, the dragon species in Concubine Shu's belly is also a major matter." Yu Wenhong said. "Liu Xiang is already on his way into the palace."

Yu Wentai heard that the dragon's heart is happy, and it is a good thing for the prince to love his brothers. As an emperor and a father, the last thing he wants to see is for his sons to kill each other. He said happily: "The prince is kind-hearted and knows how to advance and retreat, very good, very good .”

A few very good words naturally caused the empress and concubine Feng Gui to look sideways, one was naturally elated, while the other slightly frowned.

Xun Zhen who had just stood up had no time to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead, but Yu Wenhong who passed by her inadvertently whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I just found out today that you are a liar. Talent." There was still a chill in that voice.

Xun Zhen was so frightened by this sentence that she almost knelt down again. When she faced him, she couldn't even breathe, "His Royal Highness..."

Yu Wenhong pressed her hand imperceptibly, "You want to attract attention? Huh?"

Xun Zhen glanced at the extremely handsome face of Yu Wenhong, who was already an adult, and he made her feel as cold as the cold winter months. Seeing the playfulness on his face, he realized that he was bold again. Yes, quickly lower your head in a respectful gesture.

The corner of Yu Wenhong's mouth hooked slightly, and then he let Xun Zhen go and followed Yu Wentai.

On the way back to the Shanggong Bureau after leaving Shuming Palace, Xu You's face never calmed down, and the empress' meaningful words when she just left echoed in her ears, "Xu You, Shanggong Bureau needs to rectify itself."

Zhuang Dianzhi's face was very ugly, she had no choice but to push this matter, there must be no good fruit to eat, and she broke out in cold sweat along the way, so she could only hold on with all her strength.

There was a crowd of people in front of the Shanggong Bureau, and the four maids at the division level were pacing back and forth anxiously. Since Xu You was called away, they were restless. These expressions made the ladies in the back even less interested in working. Can feel the tension in the air.

As soon as Xu You stepped into the gate, the ministerial maids surrounded her, then waved her hands and said, "Let's talk in the room."
