Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

"Mr. Xu, why are you here?" When the prime minister named Xu stepped into the palace door, Xiao Mobai immediately stood up from his seat and greeted him warmly. In the entire Daliang Kingdom, there were very few ministers who could receive such courtesy. Apart from the Emperor, the Queen Mother and Gu Nian, among the ministers, Mr. Xu was the most distinguished.

Mr. Xu, whose original name was Xu Zhongshu, was a senior official of the Liang Kingdom and had served in the court for three generations. He devoted his whole life to the imperial court. When his father was in power, he was praised by his father as "the Dinghai Shenzhen of Daliang Kingdom". Despite his advanced age, Mr. Xu is still energetic, upholds the belief of loyalty and diligence, and contributes his wisdom to the country and the people.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Mr. Xu said in a respectful tone, and then he knelt down to salute. However, Xiao Mobai quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands, stopping him from kneeling down.

Xiao Mobai has not allowed Mr. Xu to kneel in front of him for a long time since he personally promised Mr. Xu the special treatment of being exempted from kneeling down among the ministers. But every time in the court, Mr. Xu still insisted on being the same as all the ministers and never relied on Xiao Mobai's respect for him without any exception.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing? I have clearly made a decree long ago to exempt you from kneeling down." Xiao Mobai's tone revealed concern, with a warm smile on his face.

The reason why he treats him like this is because Xiao Mobai knows that Mr. Xu has always been a pillar of the country and his right-hand man in governing the country, and should be respected and admired.

Mr. Xu smiled slightly and expressed his understanding: "Your Majesty, I know your good intentions, but etiquette cannot be abandoned. Although Your Majesty has your will, I still need to follow the etiquette to show respect for Your Majesty."

Xiao Mobai was deeply moved after hearing what Mr. Xu said. He knew that this loyal minister's heart was filled with loyalty to the country and trust in himself. In Mr. Xu's eyes, he is a respectable monarch, and he will always remember this loyalty and strive to become a wise monarch and live up to the expectations of the people in the world.

Since he couldn't stop Mr. Xu, Xiao Mobai could only let him go, and just kept supporting him to show his respect for Mr. Xu.

After the ceremony, Xiao Mobai gently supported the elderly Xu and asked him to sit comfortably next to his desk. Afterwards, Xiao Mobai sat down in his seat. With a smile on his face, he looked at Mr. Xu with respect, and asked softly: "I wonder why Mr. Xu came here at this time?"

"Actually, I shouldn't have come here today, but after careful consideration, I still feel that I should come into the palace and talk to His Majesty about what happened in the court today."

"Mr. Xu, please speak." From the lines in Mr. Xu's words, Xiao Mobai could probably guess what Mr. Xu wanted to say. But he still maintained a respectful attitude and waited for Mr. Xu to speak.

"Presumably the old minister has talked about it so far. With your majesty's intelligence, you should also know what the old minister wants to say next." Mr. Xu has always admired Xiao Mobai and believes that no matter what decision he makes, he will definitely I know it well. So in the court, he just stood there like a Dinghai Shenzhen and rarely spoke.

But in the court, no one would ignore the old man standing at the front of the hall, even if he had bent down. If he were not wearing official uniform, no one would have thought that such an inconspicuous old man had a pivotal position in the court.

But today, Mr. Xu felt that Xiao Mobai was not well-considered when he demoted a minister with no faults to serve as an official in a small town just because of what Lin Pei's daughter had done.

So after thinking about it again and again, Mr. Xu felt that he had to come to the palace to talk to His Majesty about Daliang's future.

In fact, Xiao Mobai is talented and has his own unique insights into governing the country. These years have also played a significant role in promoting the economic and political development of Daliang. But similarly, Xiao Mobai was extremely stubborn, especially when it came to issues involving Gu Nian.

Mr. Xu knew very well how much Xiao Mobai cared about Gu Nian, so even in these years, Mr. Xu felt that some of the things Xiao Mobai did were inappropriate regarding the Queen's issue, but he still did not express his opinion.

After all, the officials who were punished and demoted in the past were all worms in the beams, so even if the punishment was harsher, Mr. Xu didn't bother to care. There were also times when the ministers in the DPRK expressed their opinions, Mr. Xu would stand up and support Xiao Mobai.

But Lin Pei was different. Not to mention his distant relative relationship with the Queen Mother, he had done nothing wrong in the past. In his position as censor, he had always been conscientious despite being dedicated. But today, because of the empress, Xiao Mobai demoted a minister who had done nothing wrong. It would inevitably be true.

"I know what Mr. Xu means, but even if I don't explain it, Mr. Xu must know what the queen's status is in my mind. As long as it involves her, my tolerance is zero."

Even if Xiao Mobai didn't say anything, Mr. Xu knew that he would definitely answer like this. But when he really heard Xiao Mobai's answer, Mr. Xu couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Of course I know, but Lin Pei, after all, he did nothing wrong. Your decision today will make the minister resentful."

"I know everything Mr. Xu said, but I cannot tolerate anyone doing anything detrimental to the queen. Since he has no way to teach his daughter and allows her to do disrespectful things to the queen, don't blame me for not being merciful. "

Xiao Mobai knew that Mr. Xu's earnest persuasion was for his own good, but the matter concerned Gu Nian, and Xiao Mobai didn't want to make any concessions.

"In this case, the old minister can only persuade your Majesty. It is better to make what Lin Pei's daughter did to the public. Since it has violated the dignity and authority of the Queen of the Middle Palace, it is equivalent to challenging the dignity and authority of the royal family. If this is the case, Your Majesty It’s not too much to punish Lin Linpei like this.”

In fact, although he came to the palace to persuade Xiao Mobai, Mr. Xu knew Xiao Mobai's temper and temperament well, so he was prepared not to be persuaded. At this time, seeing that Xiao Mobai's attitude had not softened in any way because of his persuasion, he could only come up with the second plan he had prepared.

When Xiao Mobai heard this, he laughed directly.

"Mo Bai thanks Mr. Xu. Even though Mo Bai was a little willful, Mr. Xu still considered me so much."

At this time, Xiao Mobai no longer calls himself me in front of Mr. Xu, but calls himself like an ordinary junior.

In Mr. Xu's mind, he always felt that Xiao Mobai was his junior, and he was willing to pamper him.
