Chapter 550: Pleasing Her Majesty (5)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For better or for worse, Lord Zhou was the involved party in the case. If he looked into it carefully, he would discover Ning Furong’s loopholes no matter how cautiously she had done it.
In the imperial court, so ministers opposed Ming Shu’s decision. But being a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler, Ming Shu persisted and asked Lord Zhou to prove himself innocent.
Lord Zhou had been an official for decades and had ability and connections. Thus he soon managed to trace the case to soone, yet the clues didn’t go anywhere since then, and under interrogation, that person admitted he had planned the whole thing.
The case was solved inexplicably like this.
Lord Zhou was restored to his official post.
During that period, Ning Furong hadn’t co to court, but after the case was settled, she began to co to court again. As she never suggested any cruel punishnt to Lord Zhou and it was all her followers who did the talk, right now she stood at the first position on the right with a very calm and confident expression.
Ming Shu supported her chin while listening to them reporting so boring things. She responded listlessly, thinking that there were so many trivialities.
After waiting for the others to finish their reports, Ning Furong took one step up and bowed. “Your Majesty, the imperial harem needs a master.”
After she finished the sentence, the hall fell into silence first, then so ministers echoed her. They proposed that Ming Shu should appoint a formal imperial male concubine, or at least an informal one.
“Sounds reasonable, Lady Pri Minister.” Ming Shu interrupted those ministers. “I think you’re the perfect candidate, Lady Pri Minister, what do you say?”
Everyone was shocked.
Your Majesty!
Have you forgotten your gender!
[...] Even the Harmony System expressed its speechlessness out of shock.
What the hell is this?
Guest, what on earth can’t you do!
Ning Furong’s face stiffened slightly. “Your Majesty, I am a female.”
What exactly does this idiot want to do?
“Isn’t the imperial harem all won?” Ming Shu said confidently. “Lady Pri Minister, I think you’re great. Don’t you like ? I like you very much.”
Her Majesty likes the pri minister?
Oh my god! But the pri minister is a female! Does Her Majesty like won?
The ministers’ feeling right now had gone beyond shock. Her Majesty listened to the pri minister very obediently, so was it because she liked the pri minister?
It seed they had beco aware of sothing that was not supposed to be known, would they be killed for their silence...
Ning Furong almost gritted her teeth. “Your Majesty, you should appoint a male concubine.”
Ming Shu continued her nonsense. “You can wear n’s clothes. What, are you not willing to live in my palace?”
If you are not angry, I will admit defeat.
Ning Furong proved herself to be one that was dood to do big things. A great anger roared in her heart, but on the surface she behaved obediently. “Your Majesty, don’t tease . How can I live in the royal palace? There are many young lords of the right age from aristocratic families, and I’ve prepared their portraits for you. Your Majesty, perhaps you can review the portraits first and see if there’s anyone you like.”
“But I just like you.” I like your Hatred Points.
Ning Furong: “...”
The weird and aningful gazes turned back and forth between Ning Furong and Ming Shu. Ning Furong was so angry, she wanted to just leave. This idiot is embarrassing on purpose.
I am a woman, so how can I enter the empress’s imperial harem?
“Your Majesty, just review the portraits first.” Ning Furong took a deep breath and directly ordered to present the portraits.
Ming Shu held no hope for the abstract paintings in the ancient tis, so as the portraits were rolled open and presented, the ministers heard their empress sitting on the dragon throne begin to give comnts.
“What did this one grow up on? So scary, next.”
“Too short, next.”
“Ugly. Next.”
“Next...”
After the last portrait was presented, all the ministers revealed awkward and unhappy looks. Their own sons were also included in those portraits.
Who would be happy to hear cruel judgents of their own kids?
Ming Shu seed to have seen the Hatred Points increase: 100, 100...
Ming Shu threw all the portraits away then looked at Ning Furong again, revealing a tender grin. “Lady Pri Minister, I think you’re perfect.”
Ning Furong didn’t know how to answer. What could she say? Kneel down to refuse or just accept the offer? No way for both!
It was a little awkward.
In the end, Ming Shu was angry and ended the session.
Hatred Points wouldn’t reach full capacity in one day.
That’s okay. We can take our ti.
I have plenty of ti.
Feed myself full first, and then fight!
...
Outside the hall, Ning Furong walked alone. The nearby ministers lowered their voices and discussed with each other.
“Does Her Majesty really like the pri minister?”
“The pri minister is a woman, how can Her Majesty like a woman ...”
“But the pri minister is a real beauty, who doesn’t like her? Her Majesty had been with the pri minister the whole ti before, I think it’s highly possible that Her Majesty likes the pri minister.”
“This...”
The ministers thought it was hard to believe and it seed unreasonable.
As the empress, how could Her Majesty like a woman?
As for Ning Furong, she felt even weirder after hearing those discussions.
Dongqing did rely on her a lot, which was caused single-handedly by her and also what she wanted.
But...
She likes ?
Ning Furong rembered last ti when Dongqing left the palace and ran into her staying with a young lord, and after that, she accepted the man she sent to her, even arranged for him to live in Weiyang Palace.
Was she feeling wronged and acting rashly?
Ning Furong couldn’t help the goosebumps all over her body. She felt it was a little absurd.
n liked n, and won liked won... There had indeed been such records in history.
Ordinary people would think it a sickness and enchantnt, but what about in a royal family? Who would dare to stop the empress from liking anyone?
It seed only in this way could the matter be explained reasonably. She just took this opportunity to punish her...
The more she thought, the colder Ning Furong felt. She returned to her mansion quickly. “Where’s Lord Yi?”
The servant beside her answered, “In the study.”
Ning Furong walked to the study with fast steps. Seeing her co in, Yi Lang stood up to welco her, but Ning Furong walked straight up to take off his clothes and the books on the desk were swept down to the floor.
“Lady... You...”
Yi Lang’s following words were swallowed by Ning Furong. The two then had a wild ti in the study room.
Ning Furong breathed a sigh of relief after that. She liked n as always.
Yi Lang put his coat on and asked Ning Furong confusedly, “Lady, what’s wrong?”
Ning Furong rubbed between her eyebrows and told Yi Lang what happened in the imperial court today.
In her previous life, Yi Lang liked her very much. But she could only see Ye Mochen in her eyes at that ti, and she didn’t know his deep feelings for her until her death. So in this life, she put this man beside her early.
She wanted Ye Mochen, but she also wanted Yi Lang.
“She was still young when you entered the palace. You accompanied her for over three years, and sotis you would sleep together, so it’s understandable that she had so other feelings for you,” Yi Lang said slowly. “Lady, if it’s true, this is also a good opportunity.”
“You want to please her?”
“Lady, she’s just a kid, and you just need a bit of patience.”
Ning Furong: “...”
I don’t think it’ll be that easy.
But what Yi Lang said happened to coincide with what she thought before. Why did she target suddenly? Nothing seed to bring it on, and no one else appeared around her...
