BXBX NOVEL Chapter 528 - 528: Heart Flower Blooms
“Are you sure you’re not lying to me?”
Emperor Yong Ping lowered his voice.
Alright, now he was also a little absent-minded. In the past, he always felt that Xie Xian was good in every aspect. He was strategizing, resourceful, had a good background, was handsome, and did not have any shortcomings.
The only thing he had was that he was a little aloof from his aristocratic family status.
Of course, this was nothing compared to the other aristocratic families. This was called being aloof, and others could simply say that there was no dust m their eyes.
Now, he suddenly realized that Xiao Baoxin was not only Xie Xian’s weakness,
but also his weakness.
There was no one else who could be so frightened when she was pregnant.
Of course, what Emperor Yong Ping did not expect was that he was not so scared. Of course, this was all in the future.
This sentence almost made Duo Fu laugh.
“I wouldn’t dare lie to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise, and I can’t believe it.
I couldn’t come back to my senses for a long time, so I was in a daze and didn’t
hear Your Majesty’s instructions…”
That was understandable, the emperor almost blurted out.
Even he was struck by a critical blow when he heard it. It was too normal for him to be careless for a moment.
The Emperor was a generous person and did not want to pursue the matter. After hearing the gossip from Duo Fu, he did not want to delve into it even more. If it was not for the fear of affecting his lofty image of Chuanguang Zheng, he would have rewarded him further and satisfied his high and mighty gossipy heart.
“In the future, you must not be like this. You must know that your job is to
serve Zhen.”
“I’m thirsty, pour me a cup of tea.””
She was happy, but it was different from when she was full of worries.
Alright.
Duo Fu bared his teeth. Although he had made a slight mistake in the middle, he had finally managed to find out what the Emperor was concerned about. Looking at the Emperor’s expression, he knew that he was happy.
He was just trying to find a conversation. Pouring tea and pouring water was originally the work of a palace maid. It was really not a job that a chief eunuch like him should pry.
“Heh, I really don’t know what Minister Xie likes about Lady Xiao.”
After a long while, Emperor Yong Ping did not stop his burning gossipy heart. He could not help but complain as he drank his tea. “If you ask me, she’s not worthy of Minister Xie. If it weren’t for Xie Aiqing, her marriage wouldn’t have been settled at that time, and people with some reputation wouldn’t have dared to take her seriously.”
At that time, Imperial ConConcubine Liu had also taken a look at Sikong Xiao’s military power and wanted to pull him into an alliance with the Xiao family. He would rather die than submit!
He couldn’t bear to look back on the past. Back then, he was so scared that he peed his pants, okay?
Sure enough, after marrying Emily, her image immediately turned around. He was clearly a glorious man, an elegant young master, and a powerful official in the court. All kinds of glorious images could not compare to his reputation of being afraid of his wife like a tiger.
He seriously suspected that Xiao Baoxin had beaten him up.
Dove: Should he answer or not?
“Look… Big Lady Xiao is really good-looking.”
Emperor Yong Ping choked and glared at Duo Fu.”There’s something wrong
with your eyes!”
What eyes? What aesthetics? What flavor?
That was called good looking?
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress has sent a palace maid from the Jiaofang Palace to deliver some snacks.”The messenger eunuch came in to report.
Emperor Yong Ping’s expression suddenly changed. Alright, compared to his empress, Lady Xiao was indeed good-looking.
However, she was not considered the most beautiful woman in Jiankang City. She was too demonic, too fierce, and too sharp. She only looked like a little girl.
If one really wanted to say that it was beautiful, then it had to be…
A lovely face appeared in his mind.
Unfortunately, it was too early to die.
Moreover, his cousin sister He was also more beautiful than Xiao Baoxin and was more lovable.
stay and tell the Empress that I will eat ifEmperor Yong Ping waved his hand and called the eunuch back halfway.”Tell the Empress to eat more and recover. Oh, he had to take the medicine to nourish his body on time.” Duo Fu watched the Emperor’s expression change several times and actually knew in his heart.
The Emperor didn’t like the Empress, but he still respected her.
After chasing away the eunuch, the basket of snacks went into Duo Fu’s stomach. Emperor Yong Ping didn’t eat a single bite.
Instead, he issued two imperial edicts on an empty stomach.
One was Xi Shao’s decree to be appointed as the prefect of Linhai, and the other
was the promotion decree of the He family’s second branch.
Madam Wang of the Chu family’s chief branch had died, and her second son was retiring. This left the position of Dan Yang Yin vacant.
Emperor Yong Ping had the mentality of not letting the fertile water flow into the fields of outsiders and supporting his own family. He had promoted his own uncle, the second son of the He family. Originally, he had been conferred the title of Guanglu doctor, but he did not have much real power. Although Dan Yang Yin was only a fifth-grade official, he had real power.
It was not that Emperor Yong Ping did not want to praise his mother’s clan. Madam Liu really did not have any real ability. Emperor Yong Ping racked his brains and only granted some noble idle officials.
On the other hand, the other three of the four sages who were on good terms with Emperor Yong Ping in the past were still young. They had all been given the starting positions of some aristocratic family disciples and had not been given large titles.
Normally, when the Emperor of Yong Ping and Xie Xian discussed the matter of enfeoffment, the first thing to do was for Xie Xian to nod his head.
Otherwise, the Emperor would not be confident.
But this time, because it was his uncle, Emperor Yong Ping acted on his own and directly issued an imperial edict.
He was always a little nervous, but at the same time, he was also a little angry.
He was mainly angry at himself. He was the emperor, so what was there to be afraid of?
However, thinking about it again, this official was not an ordinary person. Without him, he was afraid that he would not be able to play well in the court. Hence, the next day, he asked Xie Xian what he thought.
Xie Xian’s expression was still not good, but he still approved of Emperor Yong Ping’s appointment.
“Doctor He’s reputation is not bad, and he has not shown any achievements in his career. Such an important position is just right for him to display.”
Was this good or bad?
“Originally, I wanted to ask for your opinion. You know that you have always been my left and right arms. Without you, I have no confidence. The lovely minister seemed to have urgent matters to attend to yesterday, and her expression was not good…”
As she spoke, she began to explain to Xie Xian.
Xie Xian knew that if he did not make things clear, Emperor Yong Ping would probably feel as if he was throwing a tantrum at the Emperor.
“Your Majesty, please don’t blame me. Yesterday… My wife is pregnant, but I didn’t expect her to have leg cramps. I was flustered and anxious to ask the imperial physician, so I left in a hurry.”
Emperor Yong Ping had three black lines on his forehead.
“However, the vastness of the world is not limited to the land of the king, and the borders of the land are not limited to the subjects of the king. His Majesty was the model for the people to submit to him. Although the appointment of officials was only based on the virtuous and could not be based on favoritism, there was also a saying-the virtuous should not be avoided.
“In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Doctor He.
“Even if you don’t do anything in your position, it’s not too late to discuss it.” With just a few words, the flowers in Emperor Yong Ping’s heart bloomed. It could be said that Imperial Father favored Xie Xian. Where could one find such an official who was capable, spoke, handled things steadily, and had a sense of propriety?!
Slap the table in congratulations!
