Chapter 124: 这些混账东西

[These Bastards]

That Lu Yunluo is getting favored now. Which bastard underneath is so bad-eyed that won’t let her attend the banquet?!

Is that person tired of living? 

The next early in the morning, Lord Wang let his subordinates carry him into the Ministry of Rites with a wooden plank.

His eyes swept around the people underneath in a furious manner.

These bastard creatures!

The Cold Palace’s Niang Niang, that is, twice being picked to serve the emperor with the Palace’s specifications, how come in the dinner banquet, became no rank and can not participate in the banquet?

Don’t tell me it’s the underneath’s side that didn’t like him and l deliberately want to pull him down right?

He endured the hot pain on his arse and sat down.

“Say, who’s in charge of the registered name?”

One person named He Sheng who had just entered the Ministry of Rites, not long ago, his heart thumped, thinking of the three thousand taels of silver that someone had stuffed into his hand two days before the banquet began. He immediately walked out with afraid face of being found out, so he spoke somewhat trembling, “Replying to Your Excellency, the directory of the banquet, it’s my responsibility.”

The Minister of Rites beckoned to that Lord He, signaling for He Sheng to come closer.

When He Sheng came in front of him, the Minister of Rites kicked him, while pulling the injury on his own buttocks, he was sweating in pain at the moment. 

“Asshole ‘things’!”

If he remembered correctly, this He Sheng had only ‘got in by the back door’ one month ago.

This person just came in over a month ago, yet he’s so capable of giving him this whole mess. 

“I’ll emphasize to you once more, in the future, no matter what kind of event is organized, that Cold Palace’s Niang Niang, give her the treatment of an Empress! Although she didn’t have the Empress Ceremony, according to the law, she is the Empress of Dong Lan Kingdom, do you guys understand?”

“Don’t blame me for saying the ugly words up front. You few, if any of you gets me involved in the battle for the throne of the empress and I find out, don’t blame me for not being polite!” Although Minister of Rites Lord Wang’s face was pale, the sharp gaze in his eyes was still very imposing.

He had been an official for decades, and it was with great difficulty that he had climbed up to this position of Minister of Rites, relying on the fact that he did not get involved in the fights between the various factions of forces.

Nowadays, this new emperor is not the same as the previous emperor, turning a blind eye to some things.

Wanted to stir up the harem under his eyes, and looking for death was no different.

If it is not for this time fifty big boards hit, the Ministry of Rites in the future still does not know what matters they would stir up. 

These fifty hits with the board also counted as a matter of course, otherwise, if he let the people under him mess things up, his official post sooner or later would be gone because of these people. 

In the end, Lord Wang did not have the slightest mercy, in public, He Sheng was also hit by fifty big boards, and then dismissed to investigate.

I have to say that this move to make an example of ‘killing the chicken to warn the monkey’ ( to punish an individual as an example to others) is still very frightening.

For a moment, the Ministry of Rites’s people suddenly set their heart to the cold palace.

From time to time, they went to the Inner Service House to check whether the food and clothing provided to the Cold Palace’s Niang Niang was in accordance with the Empress specifications.

After this one check, he really found many things were not in a good place.

For example, the furniture in the Cold Palace was too simple and crude. 

For example, the subordinates who served this Niang Niang closely were only one elderly woman and one palace maids.

For example, even this cold palace’s Niang Niang traveling phoenix carriage sedan chairs, she didn’t have it. 

Therefore, in the past two days, the Imperial Household Department kept sending people and things to the Cold Palace.

The underlings sent over alone were more than twenty.

Ten ordinary palace maids, twelve ordinary eunuchs, two eighth grade chief eunuchs and one seventh grade great chief eunuch.
