Chapter 1682 She Is Like a Frightened Deer
Although some thieves at the border are always rebelling, it is a common occurrence.
After all, no matter how good a country is, there will be some thieves who want to make trouble.
Therefore, even if those ministers have small things in their hearts, they will not impeach the queen to be favored alone like when the emperor ascended the throne.
Because an emperor is good or bad, never depends on how he treats women.
People will only look at his political opinions and contributions.
If an emperor treats women like clothes and changes them every day, as long as he manages the country well, he is a good emperor.
However, if an emperor loves a woman deeply, thus doting on her alone, and the country is in a mess, it will cause public outrage and leave a bad reputation forever.
Even Emperor Shunzhi made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty, but he lived for a short time.
But because he only favors Concubine Dong E, everyone's attention is focused on his infatuated side, which reduces his political achievements, and thus becomes the subject of people's dissatisfaction with him.
Like the emperor, it is very rare to achieve an excellent balance between the two identities of emperor and husband.
Hearing Su Peisheng's words, Ruoyin's face turned red.
After all, Su Peisheng said this in front of so many people.
But she was ashamed, but she still sat on the head, pretending that she didn't hear anything, it was all because of the summer heat that made her blush.
But the fourth master on the side turned his head and looked at her with a bit of evil eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Su Peisheng continued: "Princess Mingyi was born on the tenth day of February in the fifth year of Yongzheng. Although a woman is pregnant in October, it is usually nine months and a few days. Therefore, this time is also very consistent."
"In addition, although Princess Mingyi looks like an empress, her nose, face shape, and ears follow the emperor's."
"From all of the above, it can be concluded that Princess Mingyi is the biological flesh and blood of the emperor and empress, the blood of the Aixinjueluo royal family, the little princess in the Forbidden City, and the most honorable princess in the Qing Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, Ruoyin saw Ai'er beside him showing a long-lost innocent smile.
Her Ai'er smiled so happily, even a little secretly happy.
Just because it was an important occasion, Ai'er was afraid of laughing out loud, so she was covering her mouth with her fleshy hand, and she was snickering there!
After listening to Su Peisheng's words, the lower ministers continued to kneel there.
Fourth Master waved at Ai'er, "Ai'er, come to me."
Ai'er was taken aback for a moment, and then threw herself on fourth master's lap.
In front of everyone, Fourth Master hugged Ai'er on his lap and sat down.
Then, he looked down at the ministers and concubines, and his voice was like a bell: "What are you doing with your head down, raise your head up for me!"
As soon as the voice fell, everyone slowly raised their heads as heavy as lead.
Fourth master: "Both of you and me keep your eyes open and take a good look at the similarities between Princess Mingyi and me."
Although the ministers did not dare to look directly at fourth master, it was against the rules.
But the emperor asked them to watch it, and they dared not stop watching it.
One by one, they really opened their eyes wide, first glanced at Ai'er, and then at Fourth Master.
Fourth master was sitting upright, facing everyone's eyes.
Sometimes he would stare coldly at the ministers, and the ministers who stared at him were so frightened that they immediately looked away.
But Ai'er in his arms was still young, and Ai'er faced countless strange gazes sizing her up. A pair of clear eyes shone with a crystal mist, seeming moved but uncertain.
She looked like a frightened deer, timidly looking at the princes and ministers below.
Fourth Master seemed to know that she was afraid, and wrapped Ai'er's hands tightly in his palms.
His palm was warm and generous, but Ai Er's hand was so small that it was completely wrapped in his palm. Although he said little, he gave Ai Er the strength and warmth of fatherly love.
When the ministers saw that Fourth Master was so protective of the calf, they didn't dare to look too presumptuously at Ai'er.
Before, Su Peisheng mentioned several pieces of evidence, from the blood fusion between the emperor and Princess Mingyi, to the records in the respect room, and now seeing with his own eyes, Princess Mingyi and the emperor do look alike.
Among the princes and ministers, many people have never seen Ai Er.
After seeing him now, compared with fourth master, he couldn't help but be more convinced that those rumors were false.
Moreover, they didn't dare to keep comparing, seeing that it was almost done, they lowered their heads again and said one after another: "Your Majesty, what Eunuch Su said is very true, Princess Mingyi's nose is as high and straight as yours."
"Yes, yes, and the shape of the face. It looks like the empress and you. This is a combination of the advantages of you and the empress."
"Princess Mingyi's ears are also similar to the emperor's, with big earlobes, so lucky!"
Flattery like this resounded outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
However, it was the concubines on the right who reacted differently from the ministers.
If they remember correctly, the time when the empress conceived Princess Mingyi was the day when the empress and the emperor broke up and the emperor grounded the empress.
Heh, as a result, the emperor is icy and cold on the surface, but he loves him fiercely in private, and even created a little princess, which is really unexpected.
Si Ye sat at the head and listened to the words of the ministers.
He coughed lightly, and the voice below stopped abruptly.
The entire Hall of Mental Cultivation suddenly became silent.
Fourth master's voice sank: "About Princess Mingyi's life experience, do you have any objections?"
His voice was thick and full of majesty that was irresistible.
"..." The next word is quiet, which means that no one has any objections and dare not speak anymore.
Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Fourth Master nodded slightly, "Very well, then, next, we will talk about another matter."
As he said that, he motioned to Su Peisheng, put Ai'er down as well, and let Ai'er stay aside, and put on a face dedicated to business.
Su Peisheng understood, and motioned to He Zhongkang behind him. He Zhongkang and Xiao Dezi exchanged a knowing look, and the two went to work.
Next, the ministers and concubines continued to kneel.
Not long after, He Zhongkang and Xiao Dezi escorted a court lady to kneel under the steps.
Although everyone was kneeling, they stretched their heads gossipingly and looked forward.
Concubine Qi was also one of the gossips. When she saw that the maid kneeling in front of her was someone from her courtyard, she felt bad.
I just listened to He Zhongkang explaining to everyone: "This court lady is the first person to spread rumors about Princess Mingyi's identity this time. It was she who spread the rumors in the harem first, and the matter slowly broke out. And she is exactly Qi. According to her confession, the rough servant girl in the imperial concubine's palace was bribed and ordered to..."
"Your majesty, empress, the concubine is wronged. This, this, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, and the concubine doesn't know about this maid...how could she do such a thing?" Concubine Qi said. Before He Zhongkang finished speaking, he defended himself there.
Conscience, she doesn't even know how this happened.
Originally, she still held the attitude of watching a good show today, but who knew that this show would fall on her.
