Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

"No such plan."

"..."

"Haha." The emperor looked at him and laughed, "Speaking of which, you recommended this Pearl Concubine to the palace. Her promotion to a noble concubine is also good for you."

"Your Majesty is serious. This Pearl Concubine has indeed been helped by me, but her future has nothing to do with me. As the chief minister, I should advise your majesty."

"I will not establish any more noble concubines." The emperor's mood was waning. "The reason why I don't bother to pay attention to those people is just because I feel bored. After so many years since I have been on the throne, my words and deeds are always watched by the ministers, and I cannot make any mistakes. Wrong step. I am a human being, not a god, and I am really tired. Tell me, why are they so lenient? Are you annoyed?"

Jiang Ruobai understood.

The emperor is rebelling.

Speaking of which, the emperor is already at this age. Has the rebellious period come too late?

Jiang Ruobai couldn't laugh or cry.

No matter what, since the emperor had no intention of making Concubine Zhu a noble concubine, Jiang Ruobai felt relieved.

At least I can explain it to my officials.

After the monarch and his ministers finished talking about business, they got involved in the East Palace.

"What is the prince doing now?" The emperor held a walnut in his palm and asked Jiang Ruobai in a neutral tone.

"Today there is a lecture in the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor's eldest grandson and the youngest prince and the princess are all following."

"Oh, the lectures in the East Palace have been suspended for a long time, right?"

"Since he was overseeing the country in the East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince was busy and could not take care of it, so he stopped it." Jiang Ruobai paused and then said, "Speaking of which, His Majesty's Sutra Banquet has also been suspended for a long time. Do you want to resume it..."

"I am not in good health and can no longer adhere to the cumbersome rules of the Jingyan."

The emperor waved his hand to express his refusal.

The so-called scripture banquets and lectures are the ceremonies in which the great scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion gave lectures to the emperor and the prince.

For the young prince, it was necessary to become a disciple of the Hanlin Academy, but for the emperor, the sutra banquet held three times a month had become a ritual.

The Sutra banquet often lasted for a whole morning, and both the emperor and his ministers had to sit upright and not be dissolute.

Lecturers have to lecture for several hours, which is even more tiring.

It talks about the Four Books and Five Classics and the history of previous dynasties.

It is said that by using the past as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs.

As an emperor, you must understand these principles.

All in all, it's a chore.

When the emperor was young, he was quite diligent, and he could still attend the sutra feasts three times a month on time. But after he became middle-aged, he slacked off and always refused due to illness. Today, the sutra feasts have been stopped for five or six years.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Jiang Ruobai is responsible.

But his identity is not the emperor's mentor, but a playmate who grew up with the emperor, so he cannot use his identity as a teacher to admonish the emperor.

Jiang Ruobai himself often feels worried.

The rules of the imperial court are always like this. Once a hole is opened, they will be infinitely loose.

Probably, this is why many ministers are secretly more willing to support His Highness the Crown Prince.

The emperor was still happy with the prince's diligence and asked, "Since it's a lecture, why didn't you participate?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is now in charge of giving lectures to the East Palace."

Xu Guo was a compiler of the Hanlin Academy. He was in his forties and had profound knowledge. He was favored by many as the successor to Jiang Ruobai, the first assistant.

He is now the prince's teacher. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, it is only natural that he will join the cabinet to assist.
