On the avenue leading from the palace to the Qianming Palace, Qi Anning's face was black, and he walked to the main hall angrily, so bitter that Xiao Weizi ran out of breath and didn't dare to come out of breath, only Zhao Cheng fell behind leisurely.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the hall, a clever little chamberlain hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live your majesty." Just now, the concubine Niangniang came and asked......"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked into a reel by Qi Anning, and the angry emperor and the little chamberlain were also dumbfounded, and they had never seen His Majesty appear so happy and angry.

Xiao Weizi stepped forward and struck hard, "You have no eyesight, you dare to get in the way here, hurry up and kneel away." After speaking, he gave a look over.

The little chamberlain immediately responded obediently, and knelt down on the main road with his chest covered.

Qi Anning entered the inner room and said loudly to Zhao Cheng, who followed up: "How can this be reasonable, so dare to slander Yueniang like this and ruin her reputation." ”

Zhao Cheng's face was bitter melon-shaped, and he sighed in his heart, he always thought that His Majesty was a cold-hearted and cold person, and he was afraid that he couldn't hold anything else in this life except Jiangshan Sheji, but he didn't expect that Yan Xiaoyue, the woman who should not have appeared in the world, broke into the world of His Majesty, and I don't know when it took root, but he repeatedly refused to leave His Majesty outside the door. Now that she is nourished by life, she is bitter, and she is lovesick in vain.

In a situation like today's, shouldn't your own reputation be damaged? How can he be angry all for Yan Xiaoyue, Zhao Cheng sighed that Yan Xiaoyue was very harmful, but he had to answer: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be so angry, the people are ignorant, they only know that people are the same, and they will forget about it after a while." ”

"Forgetting? Do you see how enthusiastic they talk about it? Is that storyteller-like appearance so quickly forgotten? Zhao Cheng, I ordered you to take the forbidden army with you, and I will arrest those who spread rumors and make trouble, I want to see how bold they are? ”

Zhao Cheng's eyes widened, and he began to get anxious when he heard it, but the lady repeatedly told him not to arrest people.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion. It's not like I'm going to arrest people yet. ”

Qi Anning listened to his gaze stabbing at Zhao Cheng like a sharp sword, Zhao Cheng swallowed his saliva, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you listen to what the minister tells you." If the minister arrests someone, will there be more rumors during the visit? If you do this, it seems that you are so weak-minded, and you make more and more trouble about things that you don't have, if the county lord of Chaoyang knows. I'm afraid I have to blame His Majesty. ”

Qi Anning glanced at Zhao Cheng suspiciously, "Does Yueniang know about this?" ”

Zhao Cheng nodded, "My lady has been to Jinyuan, and when she came back, she said that the county lord has a big heart, and everyone is fine, just like no one else, she paints flowers all day long, and she practices the piano, and she is not affected at all, and she also let Jin Qiao and them not worry." Don't argue with others and say that it's a matter of letting time be cold. ”

Qi Anning's expression finally eased after hearing this, "Find out how this rumor appeared?" ”

"The minister is investigating, and I believe that the results will be available in less than two days." After speaking, Zhao Cheng hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, if this matter comes from Prince Yu's mansion, then?" ”

Qi Anning narrowed his eyes, "You just have to check, no matter who the house is, I only need one result." ”

Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt quite stressed about Prince Shangyu's mansion, "But." The minister thinks it shouldn't be Prince Yu's mansion. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Weizi come in and say, "Your Majesty, Prince Yu and the prince ask to see you." ”

Qi Anning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned around and sat on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase. "Xuan."

After Prince Yu's father and son came in, they didn't dare to raise their heads, and knelt directly on the ground, "Weichen is guilty, please give your majesty the guilt." ”

Qi Anning was silent for a while, but did not shout. "What is the sin of Prince Yu and the prince?"

Prince Yu's heart sank, his forehead hit the ground, and he said respectfully: "What His Majesty confessed, Prince Yu's Mansion did not do it well, but made things worse, it was the incompetence of the ministers, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Qi Lianyu snorted even more, "Your Majesty, you can't blame your father for this, it's all the ministers and daughters who have no way to break through such a catastrophe, please condemn your majesty." ”

"Condemnation? Punish? Do you think that I don't dare to take your Prince Yu's mansion one by one? As soon as the words of the prayer for peace fell, Prince Yu's father and son trembled, and their bodies curled up tighter.

"The sinners don't dare."

Prince Yu hurriedly glanced up at Qi Anning, but was frightened by the cold face and took it back, "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that the crime is extremely evil, and the goddaughter in the mansion has no way, so let the barley spread such rumors about fighting for the county lord of Chaoyang, but, Your Majesty, those rumors behind are definitely not from Prince Yu's mansion, please also ask Your Majesty to be aware of it." ”

"Hmph, even if the next ones didn't come from your mansion, if it weren't for the rumors in the first place, would they have gotten to this point?"

Prince Yu's father and son were bitter in their hearts, but they could only admit that they were unlucky, and they couldn't argue with His Majesty, even if there was no message from the front, the rumors between Your Majesty and Yan's have always existed, but the scope was much smaller.

"Yes, the minister is guilty, please give the minister a chance to make amends."

"Make amends?"

Prince Yu wiped the sweat from his head and straightened up slightly, "Now that the spread of this rumor can't be forcibly stopped by manpower, Wei Chen wondered if it could replace the current rumor with another conversation that the people were more interested in." ”

Qi Anning nodded, this is a solution," continued. ”

Prince Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't there a draft in May, the Queen Mother has already said earlier, the daughters of imperial city officials above the fifth rank can enter the palace for the draft, which is not a small range." At that time, everyone who will enter the palace to participate in the election will only be afraid that there will be more than 100 ladies, and then we will get a few of the most famous little ladies to comment on them one by one, which will inevitably replace the current rumors. ”

Qi Anning raised his eyebrows and nodded secretly, this is a good way. This is just like this, Yueniang's damaged reputation still can't be washed away, and when he thought that Yan Xiaoyue would be pointed at and secretly commented on walking outside in the future, he began to feel distressed.

Prince Yu has been observing Qi Anning's face, and seeing that his already improved expression is difficult to look at, his thoughts turned around, and he said: "If Your Majesty is worried about the damage to your reputation, and the minister does not mention His Majesty, but only mentions the draft girl, then the mansion that sends the show girl into the palace to participate in the election will not be willing, and there will naturally be many beautiful talents and skills at that time, and the rumors of the county lord will also fade." ”

Zhao Cheng also felt that this idea was very good, at least it was much better than Yan Xiaoyue and them not doing anything, so he helped each other on the side: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks this idea is good when I hear it." ”

Prince Yu's father and son glanced at Zhao Cheng gratefully, and they all lowered their heads, ready to listen to Qi Anning's instructions. (To be continued.) )
