Chapter 422

Qin Guotai said, "What are you taking off your shoes for?"

Xiao Zhangzi said, "I don't know. I'm just spreading the word anyway!"

Qin Guotai thought for a while and said, "Since it's the emperor's intention, then take it off!" There were eight officials in total, all of whom took off their shoes, and walked into the hall wearing high boots and socks.

Xuanyue pinched her nose and said with a look of contempt, "You people are so rude, what are you doing with your shoes off on a hot day? Do you want to stink?"

Qi Guo said, "The emperor asked us to do this!"

Xuanyue said, "Why did the emperor ask you to take off your shoes?"

Qi Guo said a long way: "The emperor asked us to take off our shoes. He has his own intentions! What are you doing here? Where is the emperor? Isn't he going to summon us? Where is he?"

There are a total of eight officials who came in. They are the most powerful and influential among the officials who are kneeling outside the hall today. As soon as a few of them came in, they only saw Xuanyue, but not Emperor Longyan. suspicion.

"Demon girl! Where's the emperor? Didn't you say that the emperor summoned us? Where is the emperor? You shouldn't be passing down the imperial edict, right?" Liu Chengtian was also angry!

"Daughter, did the emperor summon him? This is no joke!" Qin Guotai said kindly. In fact, when he asked this question, he was reminding others not to treat Xuanyue too much, after all, she was still his righteous daughter!

Xuanyue smiled lightly and said, "Foster father, you all wait here first! The emperor said, let you guys wait, he will come soon! Well, I am in charge of delivering the decree, and the message is over. , I don't have anything to do, I'll go first! A few adults, please wait! Goodbye!" She didn't wait for the ministers to attack, and quickly fled the hall.

When she came to the gate of the courtyard, she waved to Xiao Zhangzi.

Xiao Zhangzi said: "Prince Concubine, why did you let the Prime Minister take off their shoes and go in? And the emperor didn't call them at all?"

Xuanyue smiled and said, "Do you want to share your worries for the emperor?"

Xiao Zhangzi blurted out: "Of course I want to!"

Xuanyue said: "Go and call a few palace maids now and get some fresh fruits and cakes to quench your thirst. Get some more."

Xiao Zhangzi said: "Prince Concubine, what do you want to do? Shouldn't you have to pass on the imperial edict again?"

Xuanyue smiled and said, "You just go! I'll take care of it if something goes wrong, and I won't bother you!"

"Okay! I'll go right now!"

Not long after, Xiao Zhangzi instructed seven or eight palace maids to get a lot of fresh fruits, peaches, watermelons, grapes, ginseng fruits... Xuanyue asked the maids to set up a table about 20 meters away from the ministers and put them on the table. All the fruits are placed on the table.

Hundreds of officials knelt and saw the palace maids coming and going, putting up a lot of fresh fruit, and looking at each other, not knowing what they were going to do.

Xuanyue stood up at the right time and said loudly: "My lords, this is a gift from the emperor to all of you. The emperor is sympathetic to all of you for being loyal and loyal, and kneeling here all night, you must be tired, hungry and tired. Thirsty. There are a lot of fruits on the table over there, adults can enjoy it if they are tired and thirsty, just walk over and eat it!"

"We will never eat or drink unless the emperor comes!"

"Want to lure us with these things? No way! If the emperor does not promise to take back his life, we will never get up!"

The ministers boycott!

Xuanyue smiled and said, "Prime Minister Liu and Cao Shangshu have already discussed this matter with the emperor in the palace. The prime minister and the others are enjoying the cakes that the emperor gave them. All the adults are kneeling here and basking in the sun, why is it so hard to eat? Is it right to drink something to be better for yourself? Anyway, this is the emperor's will, I am only responsible for spreading the word, you adults can decide!"

She chuckled: I don't believe you can hold back!

Suddenly, Mother Chen walked over quickly, and said in Xuanyue's ear with a serious face, "Prince Concubine, the prince is awake!"

Hongmei Pavilion.

Xiao Zhangzi vividly told Long Yan what happened in Chengde Hall one by one, with an excited expression as if he still had lingering fears.

Concubine Xiao listened with a charming smile, looking at Long Yan's uncertain expression, an ambiguous light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty, that's what happened." Finally, Xiao Zhangzi made a conclusion. In the past few years in the palace, he has been conscientious and dedicated to his duties every day, and he has been doing his own errands well. He has never encountered such interesting things as today.

"This Crown Princess is so funny, Your Majesty, look at her, she really has a way!" Concubine Xiao was already laughing and leaning back!

After listening to Long Yan, he said with a look of surprise: "Little Zhangzi, do you mean that all those ministers are not kneeling outside the Chengde Hall?"

Xiao Zhangzi said: "Yes! The Crown Princess lured the ministers with fresh fruit. The ministers thought that Liu Chengtian and the other important ministers were really discussing political affairs with the emperor in the palace and enjoying the delicious cakes that the emperor rewarded. At first, the ministers refused to eat them, but It didn't take long before some people couldn't bear it anymore. The Crown Princess made a special trip to put those fresh fruits far away, and the ministers stood up and walked over to eat the fruits one by one. One or two ministers took the lead, and the others followed along. Go up! In the end, it's almost a fight, because everyone is afraid of falling behind!"

Concubine Xiao said with a smile, "This move is perfect!"

Xiao Zhangzi said: "Those ministers all knelt down and refused to get up at first, but now they're all up, no one wants to kneel again! The emperor didn't summon them, and they didn't dare to enter the hall, so they all stood outside and waited. After waiting for a long time, there was no news at all. The Crown Princess asked me to pretend to pass an imperial decree in front of the ministers, saying that the emperor wanted to arrange dinner in the imperial kitchen, and to have a candle-lit night with the prime ministers and others. Those ministers listened, a The old face turned blue, and it didn't take long for them to go home in threes and fives!"

Long Yan said coldly: "This demon girl has repeatedly falsely passed on the imperial edict? Doesn't she know that this is a capital crime?"

Concubine Xiao said: "Your Majesty, don't you have a headache for those ministers? They couldn't drive them away, and they couldn't go away even if they scolded them. Now the Crown Princess made a little trick to let them go away by themselves, which is a big favor for the emperor. Why should the emperor be so harsh to her!"

Long Yan said: "She can fool those officials, but she can't fool Liu Chengtian, Xuan Boyong and others, they are all determined to fight against me to the end!"

Xiao Zhangzi couldn't help giggling.

Long Yan said angrily: "What are you laughing at? You dare to laugh at me?"

Xiao Zhangzi's face turned pale with fright: "Slave dare not!"

Long Yan said: "Then why are you laughing?"

Xiao Zhangzi said: "The servant just remembered the Crown Princess's trick, and couldn't help but want to laugh! She... She even thought of such a method, she's really smart!"

Long Yan said, "What can I do?"

Xiao Zhangzi said: "Prince Concubine falsely passed the imperial edict..."

Seeing his hesitation, Long Yan said, "Go ahead!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Long Yan was not angry, Xiao Zhangzi was relieved, and said seriously: "The Crown Princess falsely passed the imperial edict, and asked Prime Minister Liu and several people to take off their shoes when they entered the hall!"
