Chapter 954: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Part 76)
He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he finally reached out and picked it up to read. Before he finished reading, he threw the inkstone away.
"What evil creatures! They lie to me while I'm still alive! Now they're fighting each other, are they planning to kill the king later?"
The emperor was so furious that he threw many things in a rage.
He Shi stood outside the door like a wooden man, and the other palace servants stood even further away.
After enough fighting, the emperor called He Shi in.
The emperor was half a cup of tea late for today's morning court session.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers and sons below the stage with scrutiny. The atmosphere in the hall was particularly cold.
Among these ministers and princes, who can't read the mood?
The emperor was obviously in a bad mood, so they naturally chose their words carefully, fearing that they would anger the emperor and cause blood to be spilled in the hall.
The Crown Prince and the eldest prince no longer confronted each other. They had no objections to the memorials submitted by the ministers and listened to their father in everything.
But the emperor still disliked them. He pulled out the crown prince, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince who were present, and criticized them one by one and scolded them severely.
The princes all lowered their heads and accepted the training, and no one dared to refute.
Ministers were no exception. Those who failed to perform their duties were demoted or had their salaries fined. The emperor never stopped criticizing them.
After venting his anger, the emperor got up and left.
After He Shi announced the adjournment of the court, the hall became very quiet. After waiting for a while, the ministers began to leave one after another, and they did not dare to leave together.
Prime Minister Song was also reprimanded and told to take care of his family affairs more. If he can't even clean up his own house, how can he clean up the world?
"Prime Minister Song."
"Prime Minister Song."
The ministers passing by saluted and greeted him, and Prime Minister Song nodded in return.
His face was very calm. In fact, the fact that the emperor could scold him showed that he still valued him, not to mention that it was just a verbal scolding.
If one day the emperor can no longer tolerate him, he will directly confiscate his property without wasting time talking to him. Remember when the Cai family betrayed the emperor, the emperor didn't say a word to the Cai family. He directly ordered the confiscation of their property, exiled those who wanted to, and beheaded those who wanted to.
When Prime Minister Song returned home, he heard that his eldest daughter had been invited by the Jingzhao Yin.
"Why did you invite Li'er to that kind of place? I'll go and take a look."
The housekeeper quickly said, "The young lady said it was just a small matter. The young master wanted to ask for leave to accompany her, but the young lady refused. So the young master had to go to the Ministry of Personnel to take up his duties."
Prime Minister Song stopped in his tracks and said, "Since Li'er said it was a minor matter, then it must be nothing serious. Gao Song, go and fetch the young lady."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Song's personal bodyguard Gao Song rode out of the mansion on horseback.
Qingli was invited to Jingzhao Prefecture, but she was not panicked. She told everyone what she knew and handed the jade pendant to the Jingzhao Yin.
In fact, the maid Aying had already explained those things to Lord Du, but the jade pendant was in Qingli's hands.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Song. Please take a seat."
The Jingzhao Yin looked at the prince consort sitting next to him, picked up the jade pendant and asked, "Prince consort Zhou, does this jade pendant look familiar to you?"
Prince Consort Zhou sat on a chair, his hands on the table on either side. He glanced at the jade pendant impatiently and said:
"What's so beautiful about a jade pendant? I've never seen one. Lord Du, my sister is a pitiful person. She wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone lower herself to harm a maid. It's really ridiculous. Please let my sister go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to explain yourself when the princess comes."
Qingli couldn't help but glance at the Prince Consort. Was he serious? Even she could see the problem with the jade pendant at a glance, but he couldn't?
Is Zhou some noble lady who cannot be offended? She doesn't even have an imperial decree. Only the prince consort thinks his sister's status is so extraordinary.
Perhaps he thought his status as a consort was quite significant? But there were six consorts in the capital, including the emperor's three sons-in-law. Are consorts really that precious?
Lord Du's expression remained unchanged. Even if the emperor himself came, so what? He wanted to use his power to oppress others? Who could compare to His Majesty?
"Someone, bring the jade pendant closer. The prince consort may not have seen it clearly." The official next to him hurriedly and carefully picked up the box, stood a few steps away from the prince consort, and revealed the jade pendant in the box.
Prince Consort Zhou was forced to look at the jade pendant, and his face looked unhappy. He frowned and looked at the jade pendant. The next second, his expression changed.
Although Prince Consort Zhou tried hard to control his expression, Qingli could still see the shock in his eyes.
Lord Du asked, "Did Prince Consort Zhou remember anything?"
