Reborn, Chaoxiong went crazy after marrying Gu King Proton

On the other side, in the court.

Pei Ding hunched over and lowered his head, listening respectfully to the stern reprimand from the emperor above him.

"It's disrespectful for the Minister of Revenue to not come to court for several days in a row.

Pei Xuanyan, does he think the imperial court is your home?"

In the court, the emperor pointed his finger straight at Pei Ding and kept questioning him.

Spit was flying everywhere, his face turned red, and veins on his neck bulged.

The rebukes echoed in every corner of the court.

All the civil and military officials in the court hung their heads, not daring to breathe.

No one stood up to defend Pei Ding.

They were like a group of frightened quails, huddled aside and letting the emperor's anger burn wildly.

As for Pei Ding, his face was as calm as water, and there was no fear in his eyes.

In this suffocating silence, Ma E, who was sitting on the dragon throne, slowly raised her head when the emperor paused in his scolding.

Then he spoke softly, his voice sounding exceptionally clear and yet out of place in the silence of the court.

"Your Majesty, with such serious injuries as broken limbs, it is true that he cannot come to court. Why are you making things difficult for Duke Xin?"

Ma E's voice was gentle, which slightly suppressed the emperor's anger that was provoked by the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince's expression looked ugly again.

How many times has it happened? As long as Ma E was around, he tried to set a trap for Pei Ding but failed.

How many times, because of this bitch's light words, my father easily spared Pei Ding.

What words!

The twelfth prince, who had been standing silently beside him, also frowned slightly.

Now anyone with eyes can see that Ma E and the Pei family are in the same boat.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Pei family wants to wait for Ma E to give birth to a prince and then make Ma E's child the crown prince.

The twelfth prince sneered when he thought of this.

I wonder why the Pei family never thought about this. This cheap woman has been in the palace for so long, but there is no movement in her belly. It is not certain whether she can give birth to a child!

The twelfth prince could not hide the viciousness in his face and eyes.

Because of Ma E's words, Pei Ding was pardoned by the emperor and stood up, finally no longer having to hunch over.

Before standing up, he glanced at the Sixth Prince in the distance.

If his Ming Jing had not been murdered by the Sixth Prince, why would he be lying in bed now?

What's more, Mingjing has not had a day off this year, and now he is just stretching his day off to these few days as usual.

The emperor made such a loud and biased reprimand in front of all the court officials.

It's too much.

Pei Ding lowered his eyes, trying to suppress the anger in his eyes.

While listening to the report of the courtiers next to him

The court official said: "The Ministry of Rites has already drafted a ceremony to establish the twelfth prince as the crown prince, which will take place at the beginning of spring after the New Year.

As for the position of the twelfth prince's mother, Concubine Li, has Your Majesty made a decision yet?"

Generally, when a crown prince is appointed, his mother's status will also be elevated.

But Concubine Li is already a noble concubine. If she is promoted further, there will only be one position, Imperial Noble Concubine, which can be given to Concubine Li.

But the position of Imperial Noble Consort is already occupied, and there is only one seat available, and it is currently occupied by the enchantress Ma E.

It would be unreasonable not to promote the status of Concubine Li, the mother of the twelfth prince. Therefore, in order to avoid being held responsible, the Ministry of Rites specifically asked the emperor for advice.

The emperor laughed when he heard this and said, "That's easy. Just give the position of Imperial Noble Consort to Consort Li."

As for my beloved concubine..."

As the emperor spoke, he reached out and rubbed Ma E's slender waist, and continued.

"Then naturally only the position of Vice Queen is worthy of my beloved concubine."

As soon as the emperor said this, his ministers were in an uproar.

"Your Majesty... this... the Imperial Noble Consort has only been in the palace for a year, but she has been promoted so many positions in a row. This is really unreasonable..."

The old official from the Ministry of Rites looked at the twelfth prince with some fear, and finally said to the emperor:

The emperor waved his hand casually, not caring what the court officials thought.

He has lived for so many years, but except Ma E, no one has ever been able to give him the feeling of love.

He just doted on Ma E a little more.

Out of the way.

The emperor thought this way, and finally he felt relieved and promoted Ma E to a higher position.

He directly trampled on the face of all the court officials belonging to the Sixth Prince's faction.

He also trampled on the queen's face.

The court officials of the Twelfth Prince's party also had grim expressions on their faces. No one wanted to see the situation where the concubines dominated the harem.

Everyone wants their daughter to be favored.

But Ma E always made an exception for the emperor and every time she was able to resolve what they originally wanted to ask the emperor for with just one sentence.

Such pampering is truly enviable and jealous.

In the entire court, except for Ma Xiao, the rest of the courtiers, no matter which side they were from, did not look very good.

The emperor dotes on her without any limit. If Ma E really has a child, the future crown prince will definitely be Ma E's child...

After retiring from court, Pei Ding looked at the Minister of Revenue who was smiling and inviting him to be his guest.

He sneered in his heart.

He had already impeached the Minister of Revenue in the morning court today, but the Sixth Prince would never let him have his way. With just a few words, he lightly suppressed the matter.

Although he failed, Pei Ding had no intention of letting the Minister of Revenue who hurt his child go.

He thought about it, calmly rejected the invitation of the Minister of Revenue, and turned to leave the palace.

The Ministry of Revenue is not an iron wall. He cannot start with the Minister of Revenue himself, but he can save the country indirectly from other places.

The flower streets in Beijing in winter are very lively even at night.

The lantern was hung high above the door of the brothel.

The place was full of guests who came to enjoy themselves. The madam of Yingchun Garden twisted her waist and went out to greet them with an alluring smile: "Oh, His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince, you are here at last.

We have a lot of top-quality goods here recently, and we are waiting for Your Highness the Twelfth Prince to show his favor!"

The brothel owner's tone was full of teasing. She was just about to move closer to the twelfth prince and touch his chest with her slender fingers.

As a result, before he could get close to the twelfth prince, he was stopped by the royal guards around him with a long sword.

The brothel owner was startled and looked upwards, only to see the underage Twelfth Prince looking at her with a very gloomy expression.

His tone was filled with coldness: "I heard that there is a monster that eats human flesh here?"
