Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 222 Meeting the Queen Mother

Three days later, all the teachers who taught the skills were in place.

Emperor Xuan, who was eating in the palace, frowned as he looked at the food on his table.

He turned around and asked Eunuch Liu: "What's the matter with this roasted quail?"

Eunuch Liu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the best chef who made this roasted quail was tricked by Princess Changle into becoming a teacher. This quail was made by his apprentice."

Emperor Xuan put down his hand helplessly. He had agreed to it himself and was too embarrassed to call the person back.

"Tell me, who else did my precious sister and daughter take away from me?"

Eunuch Liu had a bitter look on his face. "In just three days, the two princesses have taken away all the talented people in the palace. Eunuch Huang, who is the best at embroidery, Madam Gui, who makes the best sweet soup, and the best carving and carpentry workers in the palace's manufacturing bureau have all been taken away by the two princesses."

Emperor Xuan's eyes widened: "Does that mean my living standard will decline in the future?"

"That's not the case. When these people left, they left behind their best disciples."

"That's it? The best disciple." Emperor Xuan pointed at the quail on the table.

Poor Eunuch Liu continued to make excuses for those people: "An apprentice is just an apprentice, he is not as powerful as his master."

"Those people are willing?"

Eunuch Liu: Of course I am willing. I went there happily, fearing that I would be delayed and be kept back. After all, Lord Xu promised them that as long as they taught well, the academy would take care of their retirement.

After all, being a teacher is better than being a slave.

Moreover, the fate of old palace maids and eunuchs is never good. Even if they have skills, they are bound to end up with a miserable old age.

In this palace, you can lose your life if you are not careful. Now that His Majesty has promised that you can leave the palace, why don’t you run quickly? What are you waiting for?

Looking at the expression on Eunuch Liu's face, Emperor Xuan knew the result. He picked up his chopsticks with a bitter face and continued eating.

His life as an emperor was so miserable~~

"besides······"

Emperor Xuan put down his chopsticks in annoyance and said, "Jixiang, can't you just give me one chance to finish what you are saying?"

Eunuch Liu forced a smile and said, "The Queen has agreed to attend the school's opening ceremony."

Emperor Xuan turned his head and looked towards the harem

"Since the Queen has agreed, I will go there too!"

In the following time, Xu Jinyu devoted herself to designing the school. She wanted to build a modern school using cement and glass so that students could experience the power of technology.

Naturally, he asked for leave from the court.

When the officials heard that Xu Jinyu had asked for leave, they all breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment they felt a little disappointed. How boring the morning court would be without Lord Xu.

The busy time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year. When the eunuch from the palace came to notify Xu Jinyu to attend the New Year banquet, Xu Jinyu was stunned for a moment.

New Year's Eve!

She has been in Daqian for almost a year.

It has been decided that after the women's college is opened next year, it will be handed over to Wei An, and then we will go to Dayue. According to the plot, the heroine in the sad novel will come to Daqian two years later, and she can't wait.

Moreover, there are a bunch of abusive supporting characters in Da Yue waiting for her to save, so she must not forget her main mission in Da Qian.

As for the male protagonist of the harem novel, it is safer to put him at the end. The male protagonists of male-oriented novels always become stronger when facing stronger opponents. Xu Jinyu is not sure if she can deal with that male protagonist.

Civil and military officials will enter the palace for the New Year’s Eve banquet starting at noon.

After a good sleep, Xu Jinyu staggered into the carriage and entered the palace.

As soon as Xu Jinyu entered the palace and had not yet sat down, an old maid came to invite him.

"Princess Tai'an, the Queen Mother invites you."

[Hahaha... I can finally see the beauties in the harem. The emperor is such a stingy guy. He won't let me enter the harem even when I want to.]

Civil and military officials: Is your Majesty being stingy? Your Majesty is doing this for the sake of his own reputation.

Now that you are in the harem, there is nothing you can't find out!

Emperor Xuan, who was still in the back hall, also frowned. The empress dowager had disdained Xu Jinyu's background in front of her more than once. It was definitely not a good thing for her to come to Xu Jinyu this time.

But it was not easy for him to reject his mother directly, and he would not cause trouble during the New Year.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Xuan directly ordered: "Go find Changle and let Changle accompany Xu Jinyu to see the mother."

"Yes."

The young eunuch beside Emperor Xuan agreed respectfully, and as he agreed, he felt emotional in his heart that Lord Xu was so favored that even when His Majesty went to see the Queen Mother, he had to find someone to protect him.

After a while, Xu Jinyu, who was walking towards the harem, met Princess Changle.

With Princess Changle, Xu Jinyu was even less afraid to enter the harem.

As they walked, they kept asking what kind of person the Queen Mother, Princess Changle, was.

Before Princess Changle could say anything, she heard the nanny who came to call Xu Jinyu snorted heavily.

"No noise is allowed inside the palace."

"No noise allowed, no noise allowed."

Xu Jinyu muttered softly.

[No noise allowed, then I will check the system. ]

Princess Changle couldn't help but straighten her back when she heard this. She was also very curious about her brother's harem.

【Empress Dowager Yu, from a small family, is 50 years old. 】

[She is only fifty years old, just a few years older than the emperor. She is definitely not the emperor's biological mother. So, are they on good terms? ]

Princess Changle rolled her eyes. Something was definitely wrong.

If it weren't for filial piety, my brother would have wanted to lock up this mother who was making trouble all the time.

The Empress Dowager has grown old these years and has not been so busy. She was very busy in the past few years. Today is her 40th birthday. Who celebrates a 40th birthday?

Tomorrow she will ask her subordinates to present her with fresh goods from all over the country. The day after tomorrow, if she feels like it, she will want hundreds of artists from the capital to come to the palace to perform.

If the empress dowager had not been impeached by the censor, she would have been even more troubled.

[The relationship between the mother and son is just a face-saving one. They turn around and call each other ungrateful in private, and the other scolds the other for making trouble all day long. It's really annoying. ]

Princess Changle widened her eyes silently. This news was explosive. She would go and talk to her brother about it in the evening.

[Then I must be sweet-talking. I am the emperor's favorite, so the empress dowager will definitely dislike me. She might try to intimidate me when we meet, such as making me kneel on the ground and not letting me get up, or saying something sarcastic to me.]

[I have to be careful. I have to be careful.]

Xu Jinyu was so careful that his mind immediately went to the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw a beauty who looked to be only about 30 years old sitting on the main throne. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and charming, and she had the charm of a mature beauty.

Xu Jinyu's voice once again broke through the sky,

[This is about fifty years old. Tell me this is the Queen Mother. She is so beautiful. It turns out that all queens are beauties.]

The Queen Mother frowned uncomfortably when Xu Jinyu stared at her like that: "How dare you! What are you looking at?"

"Look at the beauty. The Queen Mother is so beautiful that I lost myself for a moment."
