Quick Wear: That Female Supporting Character is Super Strong

Chapter 316: The “Sickly” Crown Princess (17)

Just as Ruyue Luoluo expected, several forces in the court almost fought each other for the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

One side was headed by Prime Minister Tang and his disciples.

One side was composed of the Second Princess Yue Yunyao and officials from aristocratic families like her father's Han family.

The other side is composed of the Third Emperor's daughter Yue Yunshan and a group of military generals related to her father's family, the Minister of War.

These three forces together form the current three-way balance of power in the court.

This is also the reason why Yue Yunyao and Yue Yunshan both revolve around the male protagonist Tang Jingyan.

No matter who it is, as long as they can successfully marry him, it means that they can get the support of the forces represented by Prime Minister Tang and suppress the other camp with absolute power.

Unfortunately, in the plot, the male protagonist lived for two lifetimes without ever understanding the real conspiracy here.

Seeing that all parties were unable to reach an agreement on the argument, the empress suddenly threw the question to Yue Luoluo, who had remained silent the entire time.

"Who do you think is more qualified to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue among those nominated by you, my dear ministers?"

Yue Luoluo had guessed long ago that no matter who she chose, she would offend two of the forces and it would be a thankless task, and the empress would definitely cue her.

If she did what her original owner did and simply shook her head and said she didn't know how to choose, although she wouldn't offend anyone, it would also highlight how incompetent she was as the crown princess.

But Yue Luoluo is not the original owner, and what she fears least is offending people.

Because she didn't choose any of the ones recommended by the three parties.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have heard that the Ministry of Revenue's Deputy Minister Shen Xiuxiu has a reputation for being honest and upright, and is also meticulous in financial management. I think he is capable of taking on the important task."

Upon hearing this, some people in the court, which was noisy just now, almost couldn't help but gasp.

What's wrong with this princess today? Isn't she afraid of offending them all? !

Wouldn't it be sufficient for them to just answer "I don't know" as usual? But now they have an extra competitor.

The key point is that she did not recommend other people, but instead recommended Shen Xiuxiu, who was a tough nut to crack, inflexible, and only recognized the laws and regulations of the country and the family.

On the contrary, those neutral officials in the court who did not belong to any faction cast curious glances at the Crown Princess.

That’s right, Shen Xiuxiu’s excellence is indeed obvious to all!

But she was neither from an aristocratic family nor a disciple of the prime minister. Instead, she was born in a poor family and passed the imperial examinations, working her way up to the position of Yuwenlang.

But because of this, for someone like this who has no backing or background and does not want to depend on anyone, becoming a Yuanwailang would be the pinnacle of her career.

No one would offend the other three parties by recommending such a person.

But the Crown Princess actually did this for her, because she knew Shen Xiuxiu's character and situation very well, which forced them all to look at her differently.

Even Yue Hongyu, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but narrow her already narrow willow-leaf eyes a little bit when she heard the words.

Yue Luoluo's brilliant performance was also not what she wanted to see, but seeing the hostility in the eyes of the second and third brothers towards her, Empress Yue Hongyu couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth.

Well, since she wants to show up, she will push her to the top of the cliff of the abyss.

Anyway, Shen Xiuxiu is indeed a talented person who can be used. The most important thing is that she is also neutral. Having her as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will not make her, the empress, seem biased towards any side.

Yue Hongyu, who felt that she had thought everything through, immediately expressed great approval for Yue Luoluo's speech.

"Your Highness is right. Shen Xiuxiu is indeed the best choice for this important task."

After saying this, he didn't even give anyone a chance to raise any objections and made the final decision.

"Someone, call Shen Xiuxiu forward to listen to the seal!"

"Shen Xiuxiu, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue!"

Seeing Shen Xiuxiu being promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue on the spot, more than 60% of the people in the hall were dumbfounded.

It turned out that the Crown Princess defeated them with just one sentence, who had been arguing about it until their faces were red and their throats were dry.

They seemed to have witnessed once again the great favor the empress showed to the sickly princess.

Not to mention Yue Yunyao and Yue Yunshan, the jealousy in their hearts at this moment almost made them unrecognizable.

If they could make trouble in public, they would have wanted to question their mother on the spot and ask how they were inferior to the four imperial sisters that made her so biased.

The two of them were so indignant that they didn't feel much better until they saw Yue Luoluo covering her mouth with a handkerchief and coughing for a long time, with the handkerchief stained red.

Ha! With the way he coughs, he probably won't live for many days! Why should they get angry with a sickly, short-lived ghost?

This pair of sisters, who seemed to be at odds with each other, had surprisingly similar thoughts at this moment.

How could Yue Luoluo miss their emotional changes?

This was exactly the result she wanted. On the one hand, she hated her to the core, but on the other hand, she felt that she was a sickly woman who was about to die and was hoping for a lucky break.

When the day comes when she stops pretending and reveals her true colors, that will be the day of their death.

She had plenty of time to play with them until she figured out some of the situations.

Today's morning court was adjourned shortly after the empress appointed the Minister of Revenue.

For ministers in important positions, the next step is the beginning of a really busy day. They need to return to their respective posts and perform their duties according to the results of the morning court meetings.

But for Yue Luoluo, who is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace at best, or a princess with no real power in name only, she can go home directly after the court is dismissed.

In response to this, Yue Yunyao and Yue Yunshan, who now hold important positions in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War respectively, came to her and showed off before leaving.

[Tsk tsk! Master, look at how silly they are. If you don’t know, you would think it’s so happy to work for the emperor! ]

【…】

Yue Luoluo bit her lower lip just in time to avoid laughing out loud because of Qiqi's complaints.

[The worst thing is that even after working so hard, they may not be able to inherit the throne. I don’t know why they are so happy~]

Qiqi's wave of taunting was really full of sarcasm.

[Maybe they love to work.]

【Hahahahaha...】

The Q version of Ye Ye in the sea of ​​consciousness was so amused by his master's serious reply that he rolled on the spot and laughed like crazy.

With Qiqi's jokes, Yue Luoluo was in a good mood all the way, until the sedan chair she was riding in stopped at Feng Jun's bedroom - Yongning Palace.

In the past, when the original owner was in good health, she would come to pay her respects to her father after the court session, and she had been doing this every day for more than ten years, so her arrival was not surprising.

When the palace servant guarding the palace gate saw that it was her who came, he immediately went into the hall to report it.

After a while, Bai Shao, who served Feng Jun personally, came out to greet her.

"Your Highness, please come in. Lord Feng has just finished chanting and is waiting for you to have breakfast together!"

"Ah."

Yue Luoluo responded and followed him to the front hall. As expected, she saw the gentle and dignified father in the original owner's memory sitting at the dining table waiting for her.
