Mind Reading: The Road to Dominance of the Group’s Pet Princess

"The harem is short of manpower. Concubine Xian's status will be reduced. The number of palace staff will be reduced by half. This will be implemented immediately."

As Emperor Shun finished speaking, most of the palace people's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but look at Eunuch Ming expectantly.

Ming Gong said fairly: "Those who want to be transferred to other palaces come and sign up."

Under normal circumstances, these palace people are unwilling to change palaces. They are labeled with the original palace.

Which master is willing to reuse such a person, so once the palace servants are transferred, they will most likely have to work in dirty and tiring places such as the Clothing Bureau.

But after Eunuch Ming finished speaking, more than half of the palace people hurriedly came forward to sign up.

The number of people was not small. Eunuch Ming looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment.

Queen Mother: "Register them all."

Some palace people who responded slowly also wanted to sign up, but the number of people who signed up in the first wave was exceeded, so Eunuch Ming did not let the subsequent palace people register.

Concubine Xian's hands and feet were cold, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes as she looked at the palace attendants who were crying with joy because of the successful registration.

How dare these despicable palace servants betray her, wait and see, she won't let any of these people go!

As Liu Meiren was dragged away, Concubine Xian watched the vermilion door slowly close. She was still looking forward to the day when she would be released from confinement, but she didn't know that this was the beginning of her end.

And the man she longed for left without looking back.

However, her eyes were fixed on Emperor Shun's back until the palace door was completely closed.

The Queen Mother was old, angry and tired, so she returned to Kunning Palace. Emperor Shun and Concubine De were walking on the palace road. He looked at the figure walking faster and faster in front of him and wondered:

"Isn't she tired from walking so fast?"

"Your Majesty, Sheng'er once said that anger will give her strength." Concubine De said helplessly as she watched her daughter go away.

"A lot of anger gives her strength. The little devil has a lot of thoughts."

Back at Jinghong Hall, Nalan Yunsheng drank a large cup of tea.

"Xiao Anzi, I want to drink goat's milk."

The eighth prince Nalan Yunjing saw his sister running over excitedly. When he heard the goat milk, he stopped suddenly, turned around and ran away.

Although he was a small ball, Nalan Yunsheng still noticed him. He smiled and said loudly: "Cook a bowl for the Eighth Prince too."

Sure enough, the little figure not far away paused, and his face quickly wrinkled.

"Sister Huang, Xiaoba doesn't like to drink goat's milk. If you don't want to drink it, don't drink it."

"No." Nalan Yunsheng refused directly, "It's great to drink goat's milk. You can grow taller. Look, you are one year younger than Sister Bao'er. Are you about the same height as her?"

The Eighth Prince didn't buy it, wrinkled his nose, and whispered: "No, I don't like drinking it."

Nalan Yunsheng leaned down and said in a gloomy voice, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

The Eighth Prince was a good boy who could bend and stretch. He immediately said seriously: "I want to drink goat's milk. Goat's milk is my favorite."

"Don't force it, sister is very democratic."

"No, don't force it, Xiaoba likes it."

Nalan Yunsheng smiled with satisfaction, little one, you know what you are doing.

Concubine De at the door turned around silently, not wanting to go in and disturb the scene of "sister-brother harmony".

After drinking the goat's milk, Nalan Yunsheng returned to his yard and knelt down at the beginning of spring to apologize: "Princess, something happened suddenly to Concubine Xian. I took it upon myself to inform the empress of the news."

He lifted her up with his little hands and said comfortingly: "You did the right thing. I am with my father. It is normal for you not to be able to contact me. Being able to make a prompt decision and pass the news to your mother and concubine is enough to show your adaptability."

"Yes, you did a very good job. You should be rewarded." He grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and gave them to each of the four people. "Today's imperial dining room cakes are for each person."

The four of them were overjoyed and said thanks, "Thank you, Master, for the reward."

Xiao Anzi walked in with a mysterious face, holding a box. After bowing and saluting, he said: "Princess, come and take a look. The Duke has found what you want."

"Quick, bring it here." Nalan Yunsheng immediately jumped off the stool, eager to check.

Li Qiu was the most agile. She stepped forward and stood beside Nalan Yunsheng, ready to take action at any time. She heard movement in the box.

"Princess, be careful, there are strange sounds in here."

"Don't worry, I know what's inside, it's just a little raccoon slave." Nalan Yunsheng has long wanted to keep a cat, but he has never seen a suitable one.

Xiao Anzi opened the box gently, and the sound inside came out clearly.

"Meow meow, meow meow meow."

Coming to a strange environment, the kitten kept meowing.

"What a beautiful golden tiger." Xia Zhi sighed.

The kitten was so small that it looked like it was just full-term. It had soft orange fur and patterns on its body.

"Are the people here called Golden Tigers? This is just a little orange cat." Nalan Yunsheng thought, and picked up the kitten.

Feeling the warmth, the kitten lay docilely in Nalan Yunsheng's arms and purred.

Xiao Anzi and Li Chun were relieved. Fortunately, they were such a docile little raccoon slave.

"You will be called King from now on, and I will take good care of you." The little girl promised seriously.

The kitten meowed in response to the situation, as if in response to Nalan Yunsheng's words.

Time flies, half a month has passed.

In the early morning, when the ministers were discussing matters, the little eunuch who delivered the message loudly said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Hua, has sent a letter. Anyang County was overturned by an earth dragon. Houses collapsed, flowers and trees fell, and landslides were serious. However, no one in Anyang County was injured or killed. !”

Silence, among the hundreds of officials in the Jinluan Palace, no one made a sound at this time.

According to convention, when such natural disasters occur during the reign of an emperor, it must be because the ruling emperor's virtue is not worthy of his duties, which arouses the wrath of God, and then brings disaster.

But Emperor Shun had received instructions from heaven before, warning that there would be an incident involving an earth dragon in Anyang County. With advance arrangements, there were no casualties. How should we judge this?

There were whispers among the officials, and some said that this was a punishment from heaven, a sign of dissatisfaction with the emperor, and that Emperor Shun needed to issue an edict to punish himself.

Some officials believe that this is just an ordinary natural disaster and has nothing to do with man-made disasters. They should immediately provide relief to the victims.

Several censors were hesitant whether they should step forward and spray them. If they sprayed, they would offend the emperor at this time. It is quite scary to think about it. If they don't spray, they are the censors themselves.

Where can I find a censor who doesn't criticize others?

After cheering himself up, an imperial censor stepped forward, imagining his heroic figure in the records of Qi Julang.

On XX, XX, Anyang County encountered an earth dragon and stood up. A certain censor was not afraid of the imperial power. He criticized the emperor impassionedly and was not afraid of life and death. He was a good official worthy of being remembered in history.

His thoughts were perfect, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the earth dragon turns over because it comes from heaven..."

Emperor Shun said coolly: "Ai Qing took the initiative to ask for permission to go to the disaster area to provide relief, and I agreed."

The confused censor: I'm not, I didn't.
