Chapter 147 Conditions for leaving the palace
When Shangguan smiled and went to the imperial study, he happened to meet the right minister in it to discuss state affairs with Feng Lingzun.
She was inconvenient to go in and disturbed, so she could only wait outside.
After about an hour, Shangguan smiled and waited impatiently.
She thought about it for a while, and asked Eunuch Yu to pass on the news, saying that she had something important to do, so could she see Feng Lingzun now.
Eunuch Yu responded, and not long after entering, he came out and told Shangguan Xiaoxiao that Feng Lingzun let her in.
Shangguan smiled and entered the imperial study, and saw the right minister standing beside him.
"My minister has seen the imperial concubine and empress."
On the right, the face is calm, but in his heart he is secretly mocking.
A harem woman who frequently intervenes in politics?
Shangguan Xiaoxiao naturally didn't want to have too much to say to Prime Minister Right, so after responding, he looked up at Feng Lingzun.
Feng Lingzun was looking down at the memorial, when he noticed Shangguan's smiling gaze, he asked.
"Concubine Ai came to me in such a hurry, but has something important to discuss?"
【It’s okay, can’t I come? 】
Today's Shangguan smiled, his temper seemed a little irritable, and his attitude was naturally not as docile as before.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the last time I asked my concubine if there is a way to control the locust disaster?"
"Naturally remember, what is the opinion of Concubine Ai?"
Shangguan smiled and glanced at the right minister. After hesitating for a moment, he said directly: "The concubine does have a way to deal with the locust disaster, but the concubine has a condition and wants to exchange with the emperor."
"Oh?"
Feng Lingzun did not expect that Shangguan Xiaoxiao dared to make a condition in front of himself in front of the right minister, "I don't know what my concubine wants to exchange with me?"
"It's very simple. If the concubine can help the emperor to solve the locust disaster, then the emperor must promise the concubine, let the concubine go out of the palace, and get freedom."
"Out of the palace?"
Shangguan smiled at this condition, so Feng Lingzun didn't know how to react for a while.
He doesn't know what happened to this woman today. It's okay to come to the imperial study early in the morning to find him. Now that the right minister is here, he is very embarrassed to answer or not.
If you don't agree, it will appear that you love your sons and daughters and don't think about the people of Liming.
If he agrees, if Shangguan Xiaoxiao really manages the locust disaster, wouldn't he really want to let her out of the palace?
"Prime Minister Liu, what do you think of the locust disaster?"
Seeing that Feng Lingzun didn't speak, Shangguan smiled and turned his eyes to the right minister.
The Right Prime Minister had long been dissatisfied with this Shangguan Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for her, his daughter Liu Fei would not have been left out in the cold.
Not even the imperial concubine's seat.
Today, Shangguan Xiaoxiao put forward such conditions, whether it is to control the locust disaster or to leave the palace, for him, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
So, he took the opportunity to persuade Feng Lingzun.
"Your Majesty, I feel that since the noble concubine has a way to deal with the locust disaster, it is better to try it first, and it is also for the benefit of the people."
How could Feng Lingzun fail to understand the meaning of his words, the right side clearly hoped that Shangguan Xiaoxiao could leave the palace and make way for his own daughter Concubine Liu.
"Aifei is really confident that she can control the locust disaster?"
[If I'm not confident, do I dare to come to the imperial study to find you? 】
[I think you just dare not exchange terms with me. 】
Shangguan smiled and complained a few words in his heart, and continued to stimulate Feng Lingzun, "Your Majesty, if you don't deal with the locusts in time, I'm afraid that this year's dealers will have nothing, and the people will complain and the people will be unstable. How do you govern the country?"
"Your Majesty's words are very true, Your Majesty, please consider your Majesty's opinion."
Looking at the attitudes of the two people in front of him, Feng Lingzun felt an unusual headache.
Although he was very reluctant to make such a conditional exchange with Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
But now that disasters are frequent, solving the problem is the most important thing, and now we can only promise first.
However, the locust plague has gone through many years, and no one can manage it well.
She may not really be able to come up with a useful solution.
"I promised to love the concubine's conditions. If you can really help me solve the locust disaster, I promise you that I will let you out of the palace and gain freedom."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shangguan smiled and held back the smile at the corner of his mouth, "As for the method of governance, in a few days, the concubine will submit the brochure to the emperor, and the emperor just needs to follow the above method."
"Okay, if there is nothing else, Concubine Ai should retire first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Now that the conditions are over, Shangguan Xiaoxiao has no reason to stay here.
She bowed to Feng Lingzun, then looked away and exited the imperial study.
As soon as she went out, she gave herself a victory gesture.
Unexpectedly, after thinking about so many ways, I could not get the chance to leave the palace smoothly. This time, I was still relying on the right prime minister, which made Feng Lingzun relieved.
Completing the task is determined to win, and the matter of leaving the palace is also a certainty.
Although I haven't made enough money, it doesn't matter, after I leave the palace, I can still make good money outside.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao tried to ignore the flash of loss in her heart, and returned to Fuxi Palace happily.
As for Feng Lingzun, after Shangguan smiled and left, he had no intention of continuing to discuss state affairs with Prime Minister Right.
Not long after, the happy right minister also left the imperial study.
Feng Lingzun thought about it, and finally decided to find Shangguan Xiaoxiao again.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't delay at all. As soon as he returned to Fuxi Palace, he locked himself in the room and started making some locust control manuals.
Liu Cheng gave her a lot of advice last time, as well as several methods he tried to research.
She didn't believe it, and she couldn't control this locust plague.
Just when she was about to start writing, someone suddenly pushed the door and entered, Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly felt annoyed by being disturbed.
"Xiao Cui, didn't I tell you not to disturb me today? I want to help the emperor do great things."
"Concubine Ai really worries about the country and the people."
Upon hearing Feng Lingzun's voice, Shangguan smiled and was taken aback for a moment, then immediately changed his attitude and got up to greet him, "Your Majesty, aren't you discussing state affairs with Prime Minister Liu in the imperial study? here?"
"Let's see if Concubine Ai can help me solve the locust plague."
【So anxious?Could it be that I wish I could leave the palace early? 】
【No, why does he look a little angry? 】
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The concubine said that the management plan will be sorted out in the next two days, and the Emperor will just need to follow the booklet."
"I'm not in a hurry, I just feel that Concubine Ai is a little impatient, isn't she?"
Feng Lingzun took a step forward, put Shangguan Xiaoxiao against the edge of the table, and sprayed the warm breath on her face, "Concubine Ai, do you just want to leave the palace like this?"
【Why don't you want to leave the palace?In this palace, firstly, I have no freedom, and secondly, I have to worry about whether I will be framed by others. Why don't I live like this?Although you are nice to me, that's not the life I want. 】
