After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

27

Zhaoyang Palace

Rongpin's father, the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue, was walking back and forth anxiously in the front hall.

The woman who accompanied him came over tenderly with a big belly, saying, "Don't worry, my husband. After all, the queen is your biological daughter, and she will always be willing to meet you."

"You don't understand." The Ministry of Revenue's deputy minister was embarrassed. "Her temper is even more stubborn than her mother's. She can't say for sure..."

"What can't be said for sure?" Rongpin, wearing a red dress with a long train, walked slowly from behind the door curtain.

Rongpin's voice was very cold: "Father, what do you want from me?"

The Ministry of Revenue member hesitated for two steps before slowly saying, "Your Majesty, the Southern King and the Northern King sent special envoys a few days ago to give a lot of gold gifts for the construction of the Little Imperial Master's residence, but I saw the storehouse was fine a few days ago, but when I went to check again this morning, something was missing."

"What!" Rongpin was shocked, "How could it be less? Did they catch the thief?"

"No. One hundred gold bricks, twenty jade bracelets, and some other scattered jewels are missing." The Ministry of Revenue's deputy minister looked anxious. "The young imperial tutor's storehouse is under my charge. The storehouse is guarded by hundreds of Jinyiwei on all sides. Even the Minister of Revenue has to be searched when he enters and leaves. No one was seen digging a tunnel nearby. The thief was not found."

"What did the Ministry of Justice say?" Rongpin asked again.

"No, I didn't say anything." The Ministry of Revenue pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty must not let His Majesty know."

Rongpin: ...

Could she say that the emperor was listening just across the wall?

The emperor and the empress, who were separated by a wall: …

Yuanruan almost sneezed from laughing.

Rongpin said irritably, "Then why did you come to look for me? I can't judge a case or catch a thief."

The Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue hesitated for a moment and looked at the concubine.

The concubine suddenly knelt in front of Rongpin, tears falling down: "My husband can't say it, I am really afraid and can only say it shamelessly, I hope that the queen can open the storehouse of dowry and give us a part to fill this hole. In the future, we will definitely follow the queen's lead."

Yuanruan was shocked when he heard this:

[He is actually calculating his daughter's dowry! He is also making empty promises. When I saw him speaking for Rongpin before, I thought he was a good father. ]

Rongpin sneered and spoke for her?

That's because she still occupies the position of concubine.

Yuan Ruan added: [This father is a top-notch person! Brother, if you use a minister like this, you won’t be ashamed of yourself... Please do the same to me! ]

Rongpin was originally very angry, but she almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

The queen also tried hard to suppress her smile.

Only the Emperor: ...

He is being blamed for eating melons. Just send this minister away.

The official of the Ministry of Revenue outside the palace looked tense: !!!

Who, who is speaking?

[Take another look, is this really Rongpin's father? Good, so ordinary! ]

The Ministry of Revenue was choked up instantly: !!!

Who, who on earth stabbed him in the heart again!

[Is he angry? He looks even uglier now. Hiss, could it be that the beautiful Concubine Rong was taken away by mistake?]

Ministry of Revenue: ...

He clenched his fists. Ever since Rongpin was born, rumors about him being cuckolded had never stopped, but he had always chosen to believe them. But who would have thought that he would hear such rumors in Zhaoyang Palace? Could it be that Rongpin was really not his daughter? !

Rongpin noticed her father's unusual expression.

When Rongpin suddenly realized that the other party might be able to hear her thoughts, she was very surprised and couldn't help but observe the concubine and her sister Yan'er. Fortunately, the expressions of these two people did not change.

At this moment, Rongpin forgot about her sarcastic tone and went back.

It was her unusual silence that caused both the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue and the concubine to misunderstand her.

They misunderstood that Rongpin had become soft-hearted and that things had turned around.

Seeing this, the concubine gently tugged at the official, but when he didn't say anything, she touched her belly and said, "My queen, a married woman without the support of her family has always been insecure. Your husband is smart, and he will definitely not forget you when he gets promoted in the future."

When the Ministry of Revenue saw the concubine touching her belly, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. But he still gritted his teeth and said, "My queen, since you agree, you must still care about our father-daughter relationship and are willing to help the family prosper."

Rongpin: ???

"You have been in the palace for many years, and His Majesty has granted you the position of concubine, but you have never been able to give birth to a child. Sister Yan'er is a few years younger than you. Your concubine Wen is good at giving birth, so she must be no bad either. You might as well recommend Yan'er to enter the palace, so that she can receive His Majesty's grace and favor, and give birth to a child to consolidate your favor."

The Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Revenue thought that after all, he had raised her for some years, and if Rongpin could recommend his daughter to the position, he would not expose her identity.

However, just as he finished speaking earnestly, he heard a familiar voice again:

[Wait, didn't they come here to ask for help on how to solve the problem of stolen tribute? Why are they selling their daughters for fame now? ]

[But he almost believed the story of selling his daughter for fame. He is really a hypocrite! If my brother uses such a minister, will he...?]

Ministry of Revenue: ...

Who, who is slandering him!

The emperor's mouth twitched slightly when he heard such familiar words.

Could it be that the second half of the sentence is to put the blame on him again? !

He suddenly picked up Yuan Ruan and said to the Queen, "Recently, Prime Minister Li told me that we should recruit more talents recommended by our subordinates. However, from the fact that the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue even withheld his daughter's dowry, it can be seen that the officials recommended through the "selection of filial and honest officials" are of varying quality. There is no need to recruit more."

The queen suppressed her laughter and nodded.

[Great! Brother! Messenger of justice. My future dowry is safe.]

The emperor was both angry and amused: How young is she to start worrying about her dowry?

Sure enough, it was right to come to Rongpin's place to see Yuanruan, and I felt relieved.

The Ministry of Revenue’s deputy minister outside the wall: ???

What messenger of justice?

At this time, the voice sounded again:

[Tong'er, have you found where the money is? ]

[Yuanruan I'm looking for it, there are too many rotten melons on this Yuanwailang, I'm really panning for gold by flipping through them one by one! ]

Ministry of Revenue: !!!

What the hell?! What the hell?!

There was clearly nothing on him.

The Yuwailang of the Ministry of Revenue was extremely nervous. At this moment, he discovered a faint candlelight behind the door curtain.

He suddenly thought, is there someone outside the door curtain whispering? Is it possible that Rongpin is behind all this? The more he thought about it, the more suspicious the Ministry of Revenue Yuanwailang became. After a while, he took a decisive step and walked towards the next door.

"Wait!" Rongpin said.

When the Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Revenue saw Rongpin stopping him, he felt more and more that it was true and that there must be someone hiding inside.

He ignored Rongpin and said perfunctorily, "You can't give birth yourself, so you have to take care of it in the future. The child born by Yan'er can always call you aunt. This is not better than adopting one from the wild..."

"Yeah ah!"

[Huh? Wild kid, are you talking about me?! I’m so pissed! Brother! Go ahead!]

The deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue who lifted the pearl curtain was stunned.

He was not scared by the words, he was scared by the lineup sitting next to him.

The emperor and the empress turned to look at him at the same time.

This couldn't be an illusion.

[Ha! Are you scared? The emperor is here!]

The sound of "pa pa pa" rang again, waking him up from his sweet dream.

Especially noticing the emperor's eyes, the member of the Ministry of Revenue felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if it would be cut off at any time.
