Chapter 797 What Do You Want Me to Do?
The news of Concubine Jing's death reached the Jing family, causing the Jing family to panic.
Originally, they wanted to ask Concubine Jing to help save Jing Feng, but before Jing Feng was rescued, Concubine Jing went first.
The Jing family was in chaos, and in the end, they all could only eagerly ask Mr. Jing for an idea.
When Mr. Jing suddenly heard the loss of a granddaughter, he was very sad.
But in addition to grief, he also has a strong sense of crisis.
Although the emperor declared that Concubine Jing died suddenly of a disease, he did not say what the disease was, and he did not pursue the seal after her death, and even the funeral was in a hurry.
As an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years, Mr. Jing can easily detect the difference.
But he didn't dare to think deeply.
He could only beat his spirits, comfort his family, and make everyone calm down.
Early the next morning.
The old man Jing handed the book into the palace and asked to meet the emperor.
Luo Qinghan summoned Mr. Jing in Dongnuan Pavilion.
Everyone thought that Mr. Jing entered the palace this time to ask the emperor to open up to Jing Feng. No matter how bad it was, he should ask clearly about the reason for Jing Fei's death.
But in fact, Mr. Jing didn't mention his grandson and granddaughter at all.
He knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
"Weichen is old and infirm, and is no longer able to serve the emperor. I beg the emperor to allow Weichen to resign from the post of the Imperial College."
Luo Qinghan stared at him for a moment, then said in a low voice: "There is a good saying among the people, there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, you have been an official for decades, you have taught classes for the late emperor, and you are very knowledgeable and talented. There are many talents, the court needs you, and I need you too.”
Grandpa Jing's resignation was rejected.
He was respectfully put on the carriage by Eunuch Chang.
Eunuch Chang smiled and said, "You are the teacher of the late emperor, that is, the elder of the emperor. The emperor has always respected you. If you leave like this, the emperor will be sad."
The old man Jing felt uneasy in his heart and reluctantly coped with a few words.
He originally guessed that the emperor should have disliked the Jing family, so he came to resign at this time, wanting to retreat as an advance, leaving a way for the Jing family to survive.
But the emperor refused his resignation.
Or, he guessed the emperor's mind wrong.
Or, the emperor didn't want him to leave the stage with all his tails.
No matter which one it was, Grandpa Jing felt uncomfortable sleeping and eating.
He was already old, and in addition to running around for his grandson's affairs during this period of time, his body was tired, and now he has so many worries in his heart. The night after he returned, he fell ill.
The disease is not too light.
After Luo Qinghan heard about this, he not only sent an imperial physician to treat Mr. Jing, but also went to see Mr. Jing at Jing's house in person.
Xiao Xixi was also the one who learned that he left the palace together.
Xiao Xixi didn't want to go to Jing's house, so she said to Luo Qinghan.
"I'll go to King Ying to discuss the talk book contest. You can come to us directly after you're done."
Luo Qinghan agreed.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Royal Palace, and Xiao Xixi jumped off.
It wasn't until she saw her entering the gate of the palace that Luo Qinghan ordered, "Let's go."
The carriage started again and headed towards the Jing family mansion.
More than twenty plainclothes guards followed on horseback.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Luo Yechen looked at the imperial concubine who suddenly visited and was very surprised.
"How did you come?"
Xiao Xixi: "I want to know how the storybook contest is going?"
Luo Yechen: "I asked someone to set up a booth at the entrance of Liuguang Pavilion, and the contestants would directly send the storybook to that booth, and then fill in the information."
Xiao Xixi was looking forward to it: "How many scripts have you received?"
Luo Yechen: "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet."
Xiao Xixi immediately said, "Let's go and have a look now."
Luo Yechen did not refuse.
Today Bu Shengyan went back to the Hou Mansion to visit her father, and Luo Yechen was the only one left in the Wang Mansion.
Anyway, idle is idle, it is better to find something to pass the time.
Xiao Xixi and Luo Yechen took the carriage to Liuguang Pavilion.
There is a table at the entrance of Liuguang Pavilion, and there is already a small stack of words on the table.
Mr. Liuguang Pavilion's accountant was sitting behind the table and was flipping through one of the storybooks.
Seeing the King of England coming, the accountant quickly got up to greet him.
Xiao Xixi looked at the small stack of words curiously.
"Are these the text books that came to the competition?"
The accountant didn't know her, so he first glanced at King Ying and answered truthfully when he saw that King Ying didn't mean to stop her.
"Yes, all the words that came to the competition these two days are here."
Xiao Xixi immediately picked up the stack of words and planned to take it back and read it slowly.
Luo Yechen said hurriedly: "You took it all, what am I looking at?"
Xiao Xixi: "I read books very quickly. I'll show you when I'm done."
Luo Yechen was unhappy: "Why should I show you first? These words were originally collected by me, so I should read them first."
Xiao Xixi rolled her eyes: "Why don't we rock paper scissors? Whoever wins can read these words first."
Luo Yechen responded: "Come on!"
Isn't it rock paper scissors? He will definitely win!
After a while.
Xiao Xixi shook two fingers: "I won!"
Luo Yechen stared at his palm, filled with remorse.
Why did he just publish it? !
He should be out of stone!
He shouted unconvinced: "I wasn't ready just now, come again, two wins in three games!"
Xiao Xixi narrowed her eyes: "Are you sure?"
Luo Yechen: "OK!"
Xiao Xixi: "What if you lose again?"
Luo Yechen: "Impossible!"
It was a shame for him to lose a game, how could he still lose? !
Xiao Xixi: "What if? There are no absolutes in the world. There is always a contingency. If you lose again this time, you have to promise me a condition."
Luo Yechen: "Whoever wins can read these words first, isn't that what you said?"
Xiao Xixi: "I only said that if you win, you can read the script first, but I didn't say what happens if you lose. Anyway, the loser has to agree to the winner's condition. If you're afraid of losing, you don't have to play. , I won't force you."
Luo Yechen immediately became angry: "Who is afraid of losing? How dare you look down on me! Come on, I won't let you go this time!"
After three rounds.
Luo Yechen failed miserably.
Xiao Xixi smiled proudly: "You lost again!"
Luo Yechen gritted his teeth with hatred: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Xixi first glanced at the accountant who was watching the show next to him.
The accountant knew that he could no longer watch a good show, so he left in disappointment.
Xiao Xixi said, "I want you to take me somewhere."
Luo Yechen looked at her vigilantly: "Where?"
Xiao Xixi smiled slyly: "Xixiang Pavilion."
Luo Yechen's eyes widened: "There's a brothel there!"
Xiao Xixi: "I know, just because it's a brothel, I want to go there and see the world."
"You are a woman, what are you doing in that kind of place? If the emperor finds out, he has to break your legs!"
Xiao Xixi: "Don't worry, he doesn't want to hit me."
Luo Yechen: "But he is willing to hit me."
