The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are cheating

Jiang Zhimiao originally wanted to go there by herself, but she had been there twice before and met court officials each time.

This time.

Jiang Zhimiao planned to ask someone to inquire in advance, and then she would go over to talk about the matter after Yue Lin was done with his work.

Zuiyue agreed, ordered a few palace maids, and went to work.

"Master, I'll get it and you can try it too?" Yunxiang asked.

"Okay." Jiang Zhimiao's eyes sparkled: "Send a cup over, and then you take some and share some with the people in Fengyi Palace."

"Okay." Yunxiang agreed.

soon.

Jiang Zhimiao took the elephant trunk cup and drank the sweet milk tea.

The taste is naturally different from modern ones.

The pearls inside were not that chewy, but in ancient times, Jiang Zhimiao was already satisfied just to be able to drink this.

Jiang Zhimiao drank while sighing in his heart.

This is because she is the queen of the time. She only needs to say a few words and people will come to her aid.

and so.

She had to protect Yue Lin's throne no matter what.

In this way, she can continue to live a good life of eating and waiting for death.

Jiang Zhimiao was sucking the pearls when Zuiyue came back.

"Master." Zuiyue was a little amused: "Master said that if the emperor is in a meeting, don't disturb him. But when Li saw it, he said that the emperor would definitely like it, so he sent it in directly."

"After a while, Manager Li came out and filled the remaining milk tea in wooden cups and hurriedly sent them in."

"It is said that the emperor drank milk tea and couldn't help showing off in front of several ministers. The ministers were angry but dared not say anything, so Li Zongguan sent the remaining milk tea inside."

Jiang Zhimiao: “…”

She could now fully imagine how Yue Lin showed off.

Not long ago.

Jiang Zhimiao still remembers clearly how he showed off the bowl of porridge.

No wonder the sisters dislike him so much!

The emperor is a bit of a jerk.

Jiang Zhimiao was somewhat helpless: "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Li. Send the remaining ones over together, so that they can at least have a taste."

Zuiyue agreed, and then whispered, "When I was about to leave, the Dali Temple Minister Lu came out in person and said that if the queen had time, she could come to the imperial study in person so that they could have the honor of meeting the queen."

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned.

It's not just the concubines in Yue Lin's harem who are weird.

His courtiers were also very strange.

I have attended court for two consecutive days, and not only did they not object, but now they want me to go to the imperial study to discuss matters together?

This is not her job as a queen!

"The emperor looks like he's not in a good mood." Zuiyue added.

Jiang Zhimiao finally understood.

It seems that they are afraid that Yue Lin will suddenly get angry.

In this situation, she is indeed the only one who can appease the emperor.

"Okay, I'll go there myself." Jiang Zhimiao sighed.

She has more and more of this kind of work now.

Increase wages, absolutely increase wages.

Jiang Zhimiao held an ivory cup, sipped the pearls, and walked slowly.

Waited to the door of the imperial study.

Li Dehuai was waiting there early.

Before Jiang Zhimiao could speak.

Li Dehuai waved his hand, and the two young eunuchs behind him brought up two boxes.

Once opened.

It's full of gold leaves.

The fake smile on Jiang Zhimiao's face suddenly became extremely bright: "Manager Li, what is this?"

Li Dehuai hurriedly said, "The Emperor said that these gold leaves are a reward for your visit."

Jiang Zhimiao was immediately moved.

This boss really understands his employees’ psychology too well!

"What's the big deal? It's just a small matter!" Jiang Zhimiao said righteously, "I am happy to work for His Majesty."

After saying that, she immediately ordered Zuiyue to put away the gold leaves.

The smile on Li Dehuai's face was extremely sincere: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Jiang Zhimiao nodded and walked inside with ease.

Zuiyue was outside with the little palace maid, distributing cold milk tea.

Li Dehuai took a sip with great relish.

The scorching heat brought by the scorching sun was instantly reduced.

Li Dehuai couldn't help but sigh.

With the Queen, their living standards have risen sharply.

In the royal study.

Yue Lin calmly watched the people arguing below.

After the grand court meeting.

He summoned several important officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate.

Let them coordinate the reinvestigation of the old case.

This time, the focus of the investigation is on Cheng Long's case.

Yue Lin couldn't say this clearly, but many people knew it.

There are those who know everything, and there are also those who know nothing and just want to stop it.

When encountering serious cases, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate have always conducted a joint investigation, and the final result has to be reviewed by the three courts.

What made Yue Lin somewhat relieved was...

The heads of these three departments, the Minister of Justice Yu Jin, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple Lu Yu, and the Censor of the Censorate Liu Bo, all three of them could hear Miao Miao's voice.

This does not prove that they are 100% on your side.

But they had no ill will towards Miaomiao, and most likely they had no ill will towards the emperor themselves.

Compared to these senior officials.

Middle and low-level officials are more likely to be bribed by Yuehua through various means.

Although the top leaders had a unified will when re-investigating the old case this time, there were always problems in its implementation.

Among the officials present, except for the three top leaders, there are several others with problems.

The one who jumped the most violently was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Shi Youchang, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, did not hold a high position, but the Shi family was a family of scholars. By the time of Shi Youchang's generation, there were three Jinshi in the family, and they were very prominent for the time.

Shi Youchang's grandfather was the Taifu of the previous emperor. He also presided over three spring examinations and had students all over the world.

Shi Youchang took advantage of the fact that reinvestigating old cases would be a waste of time and money, and gathered a group of middle and low-level officials to cause trouble, which was extremely annoying.

But Yue Lin was not in a hurry.

Miaomiao had mentioned this person in her heart. This person had a concubine whom she particularly loved, and she had a strange habit. He had already asked someone to investigate the concubine, and perhaps they could find a breakthrough.

As Yue Lin was thinking about it, he picked up the elephant trunk cup and took a sip.

The sound of him sucking the pearls was very piercing.

The crowd who were arguing fiercely couldn't help but stop for a moment.

The Minister of Justice unnoticeably picked up the cup beside him and took a sip.

In the hot summer, it is so refreshing to be able to have such a bite.

There was silence in the imperial study for a while.

Then, there were slurping sounds one after another.

When Jiang Zhimiao arrived, he saw a group of court officials competing with Zhenzhu below.

Yue Lin sat on it, looking very superior.

His elephant trunk cup is unique and easy to use. It can be seen at first glance that it was specially prepared by Miaomiao.

What these people used were only the reed poles that Li Dehuai had urgently found. The poles were soft and narrow in the middle, so how could they suck up the pearls?

A smile appeared at the corner of Yue Lin's lips, and he took a deep breath on purpose.

Look. He has sucked the pearl again.

Yue Lin was just about to show off when he looked up and saw Jiang Zhimiao standing at the door with an indescribable look on his face.

"Empress." Yue Lin quickly put down the elephant trunk cup, walked over and held Jiang Zhimiao's hand, boasting: "Empress, this milk tea is very unique and thirst-quenching, especially the small balls at the bottom. Li Dehuai said they are called pearls. These pearls are sticky and sweet, very delicious. I sucked a lot of them in a row."

As he spoke, Yue Lin also took a special look at the other officials.

Everyone: "..."

Very angry!
