Chapter 353: Reluctantly Compromised
This kind of topic that is not recognized by the world is said by the mouth of these expressions in front of him who are more serious than a serious old minister, and the style of painting is simply terrifying.
Zhuo Yu couldn't interject, and listened to them quietly with a smile and crying, so he finally had the opportunity to explain the "private meeting" to them, and repeatedly said that he was really not a "good man" and a "broken sleeve fetish".
It's just that just like when she explained to Qiu Shujian yesterday, the excuse of discussing state affairs obviously cannot convince these old ministers. even made them even more convinced that Zhuo Yu not only broke his sleeve, but also got involved with the regent.
Although Zhuo Yu had already guessed that he would not be able to convince them so easily, he did not expect that it would be as effective as it is now. She only felt that the green tendons on her forehead were jumping suddenly, and after raising her hand and rubbing her temples, she spoke with some difficulty: "Ladies and gentlemen, how can you believe that those rumors are false?" ”
She has already said everything that should be said, so it is impossible for her to tell the world now that she is actually a daughter, right? If this is the case, I am afraid that the court, which has finally stabilized, will immediately become a mess again, and even cause panic among the courtiers.
Her secret has been hidden for so many years, there is no need to reveal it all at once because of such a ridiculous thing. Since the person behind the scenes dared to calculate Qiu Shujian, he should have expected his reaction and the current situation, and it was impossible not to leave behind. After all, arranging the emperor at will behind his back is a serious crime, and he will definitely be severely punished after being found out. If the rumors can't be quelled this time, or if no other solution can be found, the head of that person will definitely be found in the end.
Qiu Shujian, who was being used, didn't know Zhuo Yu's thoughts, but the latter really got to the point. They originally wanted to persuade them first, and then make another plan, but now that Zhuo Yu really asked, they suddenly found that there was no good solution.
Several old ministers glanced at each other a few times, and whispered a few words, before Qiu Shujian finally stood up and replied: "Weichen remembers that when the court was in the morning two days ago, Lord Zhang of the household department seemed to have mentioned the matter of selecting concubines to His Majesty, but it was later rejected by His Majesty?" ”
"That's right."
"In this case, if Your Majesty really wants to prove that he has no habit of breaking his sleeves, he should immediately arrange the matter of the draft. Weichen has already discussed with several adults, not only to prove it, but also to make His Majesty a concubine, as long as the harem is no longer empty. ”
Although Qiu Shujian is selfless, he is also a person in the court, and he also knows very well why Master Zhang's proposal has the effect of responding to everything. That's why he deliberately added the last sentence, just to prevent the harem from messing with the previous dynasty.
Everyone has already said this, and there are several elders supporting him, Zhuo Yu thought about it, but he really couldn't find a refusal, and finally had to agree to it.
The ministers finally left the imperial study satisfied, but Zhuo Yu looked in the direction they were leaving and let out a long sigh, and then lay on the bookcase very irritably.
She was playing with a brush in her hand, and she didn't know who she was talking about: "How can I go around and around and around to the draft." Who doesn't understand the thoughts of those old foxes, and they actually went to great lengths to calculate that they would come as lobbyists, and they really pinched me as a soft persimmon! ”
As she spoke, she sighed again, knowing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so she simply stopped worrying about how to suppress those old foxes who were overly active, and instead thought about other problems.
She was originally a daughter, and whether recruiting those girls into the palace would delay the happiness of others is still a big deal, and when the time comes, just pick the young lady of the official eunuch family. It's just that what she is worried about at the moment is that the draft is in Wei Chijin...... I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.
Two days ago, when he and Situ Ji helped her reject Master Zhang's proposal, she had already seen that Wei Chijin seemed to be particularly resistant to the draft. Although she doesn't know why, now she not only failed to solve the rumors, but even agreed to the draft without consulting him.
She doesn't have to think about it to know that Yu Chijin will definitely be unhappy when she knows about this, anyway, the draft is already a foregone conclusion, she might as well think about how to appease him.
Although Yu Chijin almost always has a cold face when facing outsiders, and he doesn't like to express his emotions very much, but after getting along for so long, Zhuo Yu still touches his temperament very thoroughly. For example, this time, she guessed correctly, Yu Chijin really got angry because of the draft, and even lost his temper in front of her for the first time and yelled at her loudly.
Zhuo Yu was stunned for a while because of his voice, and the latter quickly came back to his senses, and felt a little remorseful for his uncontrollable actions.
"Yu Chijin, what are you worried about? You should know better than anyone that those show girls are widows when they enter the palace, and they will never hinder you in any way. Why are you still so angry? ”
She couldn't understand why he became so disgusted at the mention of the draft. She doesn't really want those show girls to be wives and concubines, she has a daughter, what can she do to them?
Zhuo Yu's words not only asked her own doubts, but also directly asked Yu Chi Jin's heart. Because even he himself couldn't tell why an inconsequential draft would make his emotions fluctuate so much.
In fact, looking at her frowning brows, his heart was not comfortable. Even he understood that she was acting as a last resort, and he knew that he was making trouble unreasonably, but the unhappiness in his heart was that he couldn't bear it.
Maybe it's because he doesn't want to see someone else suddenly appear next to her, or maybe it's because he can't help but be jealous when he sees others standing beside her openly.
But how could Wei Chi Jin, who has always been very thin-skinned, say such a thing? Doesn't that make him look like a resentful woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time?
The words that had already reached his lips to apologize and comfort her were swallowed again by him, and when he spoke again, there was only one sentence left with a little irritability, "It's nothing, I'm calm and calm myself." ”
He didn't make his words clear, and Zhuo Yu couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart, so he could only watch him disappear completely from outside the imperial study wearing a starlight.
Zhuo Yu looked at Xiao Quanzi waiting outside the door, and asked as if muttering, "Xiao Quanzi, why do you say he is angry?" ”
