"In addition to the headache in the first grade and the stomachache in the fifteenth grade, your little master really picks the right time to get sick." Liu Jieyu snorted coldly.

Her words reminded everyone that not only did Beauty Qiao not come over today, but counting this time, it was already the third time she had been absent to pay her respects.

"After our little mistress is pregnant, it is indeed harder. The little master is weak, just like Concubine Shu back then. Please don't be weird, Concubine Xian." After the palace maid finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and solemnly gave Su Qingyao Kowtowed.

There is definitely something in her words. On the one hand, it means that Su Qingyao is clinging to this matter and is far less magnanimous than Queen Chun Zhaoyiren back then.

On the other hand, it is also satirizing Su Qingyao. When Concubine Shu was pregnant three years ago, wasn't she still a little Baolin?

"Do you, my young master, plan not to pay greetings to me and the Concubine Xian in the future? What? It is His Majesty's will to send you greetings twice a month. Do you, my young master, have any objections?" Concubine De put down the tea cup heavily. She and Su Qingyao had recently But beauty Qiao didn't put on any airs.

Especially when the palace maid mentioned Concubine Shu just now, what Concubine De looked down upon the most was someone who was arrogant and favored. She had been a bit inferior to Concubine Shu before, but now her position as concubine could no longer accommodate a small beauty.

The palace maid looked pitiful and kowtowed to Concubine De again, "Please, Concubine De, please be considerate of our little master."

"You are only one month pregnant, do you have to be arrogant?" Hui Zhaoyuan pointed out directly.

"Sister Xian Fei, if everyone learns this, I'm afraid His Majesty will blame you and me for not being able to manage the harem effectively. Beauty Qiao has a body, how do you think this should be punished?" Concubine De asked Su Qingyao.

Su Qingyao thought carefully for a while, "Mei Qiao must be punished if she commits a crime below. Let her make up for the previous greetings within three days. If she suffers from another illness and can't get out of the house, I don't mind taking care of her." She was demoted to a talented person and moved to Xinran Palace to be taken care of by Qin Chongyuan. Does Sister De Fei think this is good?"

Su Qingyao's move was a combination of kindness and power, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.

Even Concubine De, who wanted Su Qingyao to make a mistake in this matter, couldn't say anything wrong at this moment.

"What Sister Xian Concubine means is what I mean, and it's just you." Concubine De looked at the little palace maid with cold eyes, "If you attack the master, you will be punished for thirty times and then go and reply to your master."

After Emperor Yinde came to the morning court, he summoned many courtiers to the Yangxin Hall to discuss matters.

The eldest princess and the consort have been away from the capital for some time. The position of prime minister must be filled quickly.

Emperor Yinde thought for several days and had several suitable candidates in mind, but he still wanted to hear what his ministers thought.

After all, the prime minister is the head of the group of ministers, one person is lower than ten thousand people. If anyone sits in this position, the whole family will rise accordingly.

If the family has a daughter or younger sister accompanying her in the palace, wouldn't the position of the queen be determined sooner or later?

Emperor Yinde had naturally seen through this a long time ago, so most of the ministers who entered the palace to discuss matters today had daughters or younger sisters in the palace.

Gu Wenkang, Su Li and Qiao Meiren's father were all there.

After the ministers saluted, Emperor Yinde ordered Li Fuhai to serve them tea, as if he wanted to have a long talk with them.

"As soon as my father-in-law left Beijing, the position of prime minister became vacant. Originally, Xiao Lin should have taken over, but since Xiao Lin chose Wu, the position of prime minister is not suitable. I can only find another good minister. All my dear friends are my humerus, are you willing to share my worries?"

After Emperor Yin De finished speaking, he tapped the index finger and middle finger of his right hand on the imperial desk.

The ministers lowered their heads, seeming to be thinking, and also seemed to be in fear.

After all, the Prince Consort has been the leader of the ministers since the late emperor was in power, and he even assisted His Majesty in ascending the throne. He has been an official for decades and is upright. Whether they can do this, they have to think carefully about it.

Emperor Yinde sat at the top and could clearly see the reactions of these people. He could also guess some of what everyone was thinking.

"I know that it is not easy to sit in the position of prime minister. When my father-in-law was the prime minister, I knew how many ministers were unconvinced and how many ministers talked behind their backs." Emperor Yin De's tone could not be heard as joy. It's anger.

All the ministers stood up, lifted their robes and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am afraid."

"I just feel that the position of Prime Minister is easy to offend people. Are my dear friends afraid?"

After Emperor Yinde finished speaking, he drank a cup of tea and then ordered everyone to get down.

"My dear friends, please go back and think about it. If anyone recommends himself, please give me a memorial and kneel down." When Emperor Yinde saw the frightened expressions of his ministers, he knew that nothing could be discussed today.

Despite the fact that these people were so obedient that they didn't dare to say anything, he didn't know how many memorials he would receive for self-recommendation.

Then let's see how many ministers there are who overestimate their abilities for the sake of high positions.

After Emperor Yinde finished approving a small pile of memorials, Li Fuhai walked in and told Emperor Yinde everything about today's greetings.

The reason why Emperor Yinde knew this was not because he was monitoring anyone, but because he wanted to know who among the concubines was in peace and who was not.

When Queen Chun Zhaoyiren was there, the concubines often heard about what happened when they paid their respects in Fengyi Palace.

When he heard that Beauty Qiao was pregnant and still restless, Emperor Yin De directly threw the memorial in his hand onto the imperial desk.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Li Fuhai quickly advised, "Your Majesty, since Master Qiao said that he is unwell, would you like me to go and have a look?"

"You don't have to worry about it!" Emperor Yin De scolded, "Let her go. Let me see what she wants to do?"

Li Fuhai wanted to expose Qiao Meiren, but when he was scolded, he realized that he was talking too much and quickly hit himself in the mouth with his hand.

Emperor Yinde raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

Although the Qiao family and below were guilty, Su Qingyao handled this matter very appropriately, with both kindness and power.

Emperor Yinde knew very well that it was not that Su Qingyao did not dare to punish Mrs. Qiao, but that he gave her this step for the sake of the emperor's heir in her belly.

If she didn't come down obediently, she would have to drink as a penalty.

He had never discovered that Su Qingyao had such a side before.

Thinking of this, the corners of Emperor Yin De's mouth couldn't help but raise. He was very relieved that Su Qingyao was in charge of the affairs in the harem.

Although Concubine De has been with her for many years and has contributed a lot to the family, she still lacks the ruthlessness to manage the concubine.

But when he thought about the choice of prime minister, Emperor Yinde was once again entangled. He hoped that this time, Su Li could see the situation clearly and not be confused for a moment and do something wrong.
