Chapter 58: I bargained with the emperor

Rong Yuanzhou completely blocked all of Mi Xiayao's retreats.

The two of them separated the curtain for a moment, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

"Then spring will begin, I will set a good place, Lord Xie Yingrong."

"I'm here to wait."

After the two men scribbled the conversation, there were no new topics along the way.

Until the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, she was helped down by Song Qiaoxu.

Rong Yuanzhou also dismounted, holding the reins with one hand, and his posture was upright.

"If there is a ...... in the palace", it is difficult to find him.

"Although the folk girl doesn't have any chance to enter the palace on weekdays, she has seen a little bit of the world, and the female in the palace still knows how to go."

Mi Xia Yao didn't want to trouble Rong Yuanzhou.

She didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, she interrupted Rong Yuanzhou, and then took Song Qiao into the palace gate without looking back.

This behavior made Rong Yuanzhou laugh angrily.

Mi Xia Yao, who entered the palace gate here, really had a palace person to guide the way.

Along the way, she did not look around, but looked straight ahead, with a good posture and elegant steps.

Until the palace people took her to the imperial study, the chief eunuch guarding the door of the imperial study pushed the door open.

While pinching his sharp voice, he said, "Miss Mi, please here." ”

Song Qiao was stopped at the door, and she entered the imperial study alone.

In the bright yellow room, a tall man sat firmly on the dragon chair.

It's just that as Mi Xia Yao approached the dragon chair little by little, she found that this tall man looked sickly.

She hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Immediately afterward, the emperor's hoarse voice came from overhead, "I frightened you last night, and I have heard about it from Yongning. ”

After saying not very long words, the emperor sighed deeply.

I could hear the emperor's endless helplessness towards the crown prince.

"I'm just such a son-in-law."

Mi Xia Yao knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, but the emperor didn't bend around the corner and went straight to the point.

She heard what the emperor meant.

Is this an attempt to calm things down?

"Of course, I can't say that I use authority to suppress you," the emperor said, "Although a woman's reputation and even her life are important, although outsiders do not know about it, the damage suffered by the little girl is even more difficult to heal. ”

The Emperor slowly stood up, pacing to the window with some feeble steps.

"I once had an extremely lovely daughter, and if she could grow up healthy, she would be about the same age as you."

What does that mean?

Although Mi Xia Yao knelt on the ground, she hid her facial expression.

At this moment, her brows were furrowed, and she couldn't figure out what tricks this emperor was playing.

Could it be an emotional card?

"It's because I didn't educate the prince well, this incident should be my problem, you get up."

She didn't answer it, and she didn't answer it.

"The girl of the Mi family, I heard Yongning say that you are a smart person, so I won't go around in circles with you, open the skylight and talk about bright things, according to your thoughts, how do you think this matter is the best?"

Mi Xia Yao stood in place, with a temperament that was neither humble nor arrogant, with a faint arrogance.

She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor in front of her who was bent on protecting the crown prince.

"If it is according to the heart of the courtier, the prince should make amends with me, and he will never want to be close to the courtiers in this life."

Her frank and frank words made the emperor's face sink, and Long Yan was about to be furious.

The tea cup in the emperor's hand was thrown to the ground by him.

The broken teacup fell down with a loud thud.

But she still stood there without panic or guilt.

As if the emperor's wrath had nothing to do with her.

"But the courtiers know that if there is no prince, there will be chaos in the court. So the courtiers can't move him, and the other way is also very simple. ”

She gathered her robe and straightened her wide sleeves.

The Emperor was attracted by her movements.

Mi Xia Yao raised her hand in a gesture of the ministers of the court, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Buying the mouths of the courtiers and giving the courtiers hush money, the courtiers can write off this matter." ”

The first time the emperor saw someone who dared to negotiate hush money with him, he sneered.

"Do you think that such a small mess can make me waste such a big mind?"

"Your Majesty can deal with it in many ways, but the courtiers are loyal to inform that once a person is pushed to the extreme, the potential of that person to explode is a hundred times the energy of normal times."

"......" The emperor stood silently by the window.

This time, from breaking the ceramics in the imperial study, to the fierce rhetorical arguments between the two, until now the atmosphere of the freezing point is inexplicably suppressed.

Mi Xia Yao didn't show any flustered appearance during the whole process.

The emperor had a figure in his heart, he rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb, pondered for a moment, and spoke: "If you follow your second method, what do you want." ”

If he can ask this sentence, it means that the emperor has already had the intention of retreating.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she was more comfortable dealing with the emperor.

"The courtiers don't ask for much, the cooperation between this chamber of commerce and the Royal Treasure Clothes Bureau, the courtiers have to be the number one in this regard."

This is the lion's opening to outsiders.

But for Mi Xia Yao, she has the capital to confront the emperor.

As I just said, if the emperor refuses to give this handover chair, then she will break the jar and break it, and puncture the prince's robbery of the people's daughters.

Even if she can't move the position of the crown prince, it is enough to bite the prince Qin Qiao into a blur.

The emperor half-narrowed his eyes and re-examined the little girl in front of him, who had never been humble or arrogant.

is so stubborn and confident, and her grandfather is exactly the same.

"You're just a little girl, this businessman is probably just on a whim, and you're about to leave the head of my Treasure Clothes Bureau, do you think I will promise you?"

Mi Xia Yao guessed that the emperor would say such a sentence.

She was desperate for Gu Yun at the beginning, so that she could one day have a stable backer when she could negotiate with the royal family.

"Yuelailou founded the owner, in addition to the courtiers, there is also the Gu family of Tangzhou, this Yuelailou is not the courtier's alone. ”

The implication is that there are more "professional" people than her in guarantee.

The emperor's brows never relaxed, and at this moment, the chief eunuch outside the door reminded through the door: "Your Majesty, in half an hour, the Rong Council of Zuo Tongzheng will be almost here." ”

"About this, Rong Zhen thinks about it, you should go back to the Golden Buddha Temple first and continue to worship the Buddha."

Mi Xia Yao's courage has been completely thickened at this time.

"After driving away the courtiers, if Your Majesty does not give the courtiers the compensation in place, the courtiers will fight to the death."

She said this clearly with a suggestive warning.

The chief eunuch who was eavesdropping outside the door couldn't help but gasp.

Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath for His Majesty's anger, who knew that His Majesty actually laughed heartily a few times.

"The girl who is raised by Mi Lao has some courage!"
