The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke and Dingdang were talking about the current regent in prison.

Regent Chu Musheng was currently in the imperial study in the palace, flipping through memorials reviewed by the three cabinet ministers.

Chu Musheng is a person who, apart from doing things that interest him personally, will reasonably delegate power for other things that can be done by others.

These memorials from court officials were first carefully written by officials from various departments, detailing the causes and consequences, pros and cons, and their own suggestions and solutions.

The written memorials would be collected together and initially classified and organized by specialized officials.

Divide according to the importance of the matter, the field it belongs to, etc.

After the classification is completed, a special person will be arranged to deliver the memorials to the secretariat in the palace.

In the secretarial room, there will be special clerks to register and number memorials to ensure that each memorial has a clear record and is traceable.

Afterwards, according to the established procedures, the memorial was distributed to the three cabinet ministers in turn.

After receiving the memorials, the ministers would review them in turn and stamp them with their own seals.

Once it comes to Chu Musheng, there is basically no need to do any further processing.

He only needs to write "yes" or "no" and then stamp it with the imperial seal.

Today's memorial is somewhat novel.

There were actually several wrinkles impeaching the Imperial College Doctor Xu Linyun for poor parenting and offending the Regent in the street.

Chu Musheng sat at the table and chairs below the imperial desk, sipping West Lake Longjing tea and flipping through the books with great interest.

I, Zhang Haoran, the Minister of Rites, kneel with deep trepidation to report this to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent. Xu Linyun, a doctor of the Imperial College, was responsible for educating his family, but he failed to uphold the family tradition, leading to his daughter's misbehavior in public and offending the Regent's authority. This is Xu Linyun's fault for neglecting his education. His daughter's behavior is dishonorable and tarnishes the reputation of the Imperial College. I earnestly request that Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent severely punish Xu Linyun to restore order and uphold moral integrity.

I, the humble Censor Liu Qingyun, risk my life to speak out. Xu Linyun, a doctor of the Imperial College, has mismanaged his household and failed to educate his daughter. His daughter acted recklessly in the street, disrespecting the Regent and undermining the dignity of the imperial family—an act of treason. As a teacher, Xu Linyun cannot set an example and discipline his own family, so how can he teach the students of the Imperial College? I hope the Regent will investigate and punish Xu Linyun's crime to serve as a warning to all.

I, the Minister of Personnel, Ouyang Ke, kowtow in respect. I have heard that the daughter of Xu Linyun, a doctor of the Imperial College, has publicly offended the Regent. This is truly audacious. Xu Linyun often boasts of being a learned scholar, yet he has failed to properly educate even his own daughters. How can such a person of flawed moral character be allowed to teach at the Imperial College? I implore the Regent to severely punish Xu Linyun to set the record straight and reassure the people.

……

Chu Musheng looked at the fiercely worded impeachment memorials and raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

When did I ever damage the dignity of the royal family?

Or apart from the Censor, does this kind of thing require you officials from the six ministries to impeach?

Suppressing his displeasure, Chu Musheng continued to flip through the documents, and a memorial caught his attention.

I, Xu Linfeng, the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, am deeply honored and humbled. I kowtow and respectfully present this to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent.

My younger brother Xu Linyun, as a doctor of the Imperial College, is responsible for educating the students of the Imperial Academy. He should strictly observe the etiquette and set an example.

However, he failed to educate his daughter properly, causing her to offend the authority of His Royal Highness the Regent in the street, which is a serious crime.

I heard about this matter with great sorrow and deep regret. I know that his behavior is wrong and brings shame to the family. Although I am mindful of our brotherly love, I dare not show favoritism due to the laws of the country.

In order to uphold family traditions and safeguard the order of the court, I have expelled Xu Linyun from the family as a punishment.

I implore Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Regent to severely punish Xu Linyun and serve as a warning to others. Only in this way can we demonstrate the justice of the law and the majesty of the court.

I am extremely frightened and respectfully request your holy judgment.

After reading it, Chu Musheng snorted coldly.

He did not intend to punish the woman. He ordered her to be imprisoned just to cover up the embarrassment of being molested by the woman.

He is the first regent of the dynasty, the orthodox royal family, and no one in the court can match him!

He was actually ridden by a woman who looked at him for a long time like an antique. Then she covered his eyes and kissed him on the face.

What a great humiliation this is!

That's the theory, but in practice, he benefits a lot from it!

Thinking of rolling on the ground with that woman, her body was limp.

Chu Musheng only remembered that the woman had a pair of big black eyes close to him.

The little hand covering his eyes was warm, with a faint scent of virginity.

Especially the soft touch when she kissed me on the cheek.

Chu Musheng couldn't help but feel a little hot, and secretly cursed himself for being so useless.

How could a dignified regent be distracted by a woman's slight intimacy?

He took a deep breath and just calmed himself down, but then he remembered a dream he had last night.

In the dream, the woman snuggled in his arms. He couldn't see her face clearly, but the feeling of being close to each other was so intimate.

Chu Musheng stood up and paced back and forth in the study, trying to forget last night's dream.

However, the more you want to forget, the deeper the memories become.

"No, how can this prince's mood be influenced by a woman?"

He muttered to himself, but the blush on his face had not yet completely faded.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door reported in a low voice.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is outside the door and wishes to see you. She has sent this servant to come and tell you."

Chu Musheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let her in."

Empress Dowager Wei Ling'er soon walked into the imperial study alone.

She was not wearing the empress dowager's gorgeous clothes today, but a simple and elegant light pink palace dress.

Wei Ling'er is indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital, and she looks charming even with a little makeup.

She only had a pair of exquisite hairpins pinned to her bun, which swayed as she walked, unable to conceal her noble temperament.

Chu Musheng just looked up at her with an indifferent tone.

"What brings the Queen Mother here?"

Wei Ling'er smiled sweetly, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Prince Regent, I heard that the daughter of a lowly official offended Your Highness in public, and this matter has caused quite a stir. How do you intend to deal with this, Your Highness?"

Chu Musheng snorted coldly.

"This is my own private matter, so please don't worry about it."

Wei Linger frowned slightly and bit her lips lightly.

"Prince Regent, this matter concerns the royal family's reputation. Your Highness must not act on impulse."

Chu Musheng's eyes flashed.

"Is the Queen Mother questioning my decision?"

Wei Linger sighed softly, her voice charming and like a whisper.

"That's not my intention. I just hope the Regent can put the overall situation first and take the royal family's reputation into consideration, and not let those villains run wild."

Chu Musheng stopped looking at her and turned to look at the memorial on the table.

"If Your Majesty has no other important matters, please return."

Wei Linger bit her lip, seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, and finally turned and left.

Chu Musheng walked to the desk and sat down. He picked up the red pen and drew a cross under all the wrinkles that impeached Xu Linyun.

A dog takes a mouse and meddles in other people's business.

Chu Musheng snorted coldly and dropped the red pen.

"Come here, reject all these wrinkles."

After saying that, Chu Musheng turned away.

The eunuchs will send these memorials back to the secretariat.
