Chapter 834

Luo QingHan didn't wait long for a message——

The imperial concubine was grounded.

Qingsong came to deliver the news.

He knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"The Empress Dowager was very angry because she left the palace without permission. She not only scolded her face to face, but also punished her for thinking behind closed doors for a month, so she can't eat with you for the next month."

Luo QingHan is dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager interfering in his private affairs.

But he was always happy and angry. Even if he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but only replied faintly.

"I see. Go down."

"Here."

Qingsong retreated silently.

Father Chang carefully observed the emperor's look and asked tentatively.

"Do you want someone to comfort the imperial concubine?"

Luo QingHan said faintly, "no need."

If other concubines were punished and forbidden to walk, they would certainly be sad and uneasy, but with Xi Xi's temperament, it is estimated that they will not be sad, and even be very happy.

She didn't like to go out, but now she's banned from going out. Can't she just stay in Yunxiu palace and don't go out?!

Father-in-law Chang asked, "lunch is ready. Do you want it now?"

It's boring to eat alone.

Luo QingHan replied excitedly, "wait a minute."

Father Chang had to step aside and continue to act quietly as a backdrop.

Luo QingHan continued to read the memorial.

There are fewer and fewer memorials at hand, and the time is getting later and later.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of stopping, Duke Chang couldn't help reminding him.

"Your Majesty, don't you need lunch?"

Luo QingHan didn't answer.

After carefully reading the memorials in his hand and writing notes at the end, he looked up at father-in-law Chang and asked expressionless.

"When is it?"

Father-in-law Chang hurriedly said, "it's almost time to apply."

Luo QingHan put down the Zhu pen, raised his hand and rubbed the lower corner of his forehead. He frowned and said, "set the meal."

Father Chang immediately asked people to bring in the meals and put them on the food table one by one.

Luo QingHan sat down beside the food table.

The dishes are still those he often eats on weekdays, and the taste is still the usual taste.

But when he ate it in his mouth, he always felt a little less taste.

He ate without expression, and his eyes always fell involuntarily across the table.

Usually Xiao Xi always sits opposite, chattering with him while eating, and sometimes has to put some dishes in his bowl.

She just ate the lively atmosphere of a table by herself.

Now suddenly she is missing, the excitement is gone, and the atmosphere on the table suddenly becomes cold.

Luo QingHan ate a few mouthfuls of food hastily and put down his chopsticks before finishing a bowl of rice.

Seeing this, father-in-law Chang hurriedly asked, "why do you eat so little? Is today's lunch not appetizing? Servant, let the people in the imperial dining room redo it."

Luo QingHan said quietly, "it has nothing to do with the meal. I have no appetite. Take away all these dishes."

Father Chang had to answer, "here."

Continue to deal with government affairs in the afternoon.

Time passed quickly. The sun set and it was getting dark.

Cao Nuo came in with a red paint tray and whispered in Grandpa Chang's ear.

Father-in-law Chang looked at the tray in each other's hand and looked a little strange.

Luo QingHan just finished reading the last Memorial and was ready to have a tea break. He happened to see this scene.

He asked, "what's the matter?"

Father Chang stepped forward and respectfully walked down the tunnel.

"Your Majesty, it's the province in the temple who sent the green head card. I want to ask your majesty who's going to turn over tonight?"

In fact, when Luo QingHan first ascended the throne, father-in-law Chang asked him if he wanted to turn the green card? Luo QingHan refused without thinking.

After refusing three times in a row, father-in-law Chang stopped asking.

Since then, those green cards have been placed in the temple to eat ash in the province. Now they have the light of the Empress Dowager. They can be regarded as a chance to see the sun again.

Luo QingHan wanted people to take back those green cards, but he changed his mind.

He said, "bring it to me."

Cao Nuo walked forward with the tray in his hands and respectfully raised the tray in front of the emperor.

In the red paint tray, there are more than ten green cards quietly.

They are placed in order of grade.

Logically, the first place should be the brand of the imperial concubine. However, Luo QingHan saw the brand of the imperial concubine in the past, followed by concubine Li, then Chen Wanyi, and then min Jieyu, Yao Jieyu, Yan Cairen, shaoliangren, etc.

Luo QingHan looked at all the green cards, but he couldn't see the word "imperial concubine".

He looked up at Cao Nuo and asked unhappily.

"What about the province in the temple? Yes? Why did you forget the imperial concubine's brand?"

Cao Nuo hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, forgive me. No one in the temple dares to forget the imperial concubine. The reason why there is no imperial concubine's brand is because the Empress Dowager has spoken. The imperial concubine must think behind closed doors and can't sleep this month."

Luo QingHan didn't expect such a stubble.

He thought he was just thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, but even his qualification to serve in bed was temporarily cancelled.

Luo QingHan had only three points of dissatisfaction in his heart. At this time, the brush became very dissatisfied.

He was very upset that he couldn't have lunch with Xi Xi. Now he can't even sleep with her.

How are you going to live?!

The empress dowager, is this punishment? Still punishing him?!

Luo QingHan's code of conduct has always been very simple.

If he is unhappy, he doesn't want others to be happy.

Luo QingHan turned out a Book of memorials from the pile of approved memorials nearby.

This memorial was written by Yan Guan to impeach Lu Jia and bully civilians by relying on the Empress Dowager as a backer.

The Duke of Hong Guo died and the Lu family became civilians, but their relationship with the Empress Dowager was not broken. The Empress Dowager also sent a lot of silver to them in private.

That money is enough for the Lu family to buy another house and settle down.

But the Lu family is used to being extravagant. After buying the house, they have to buy servants, all kinds of clothes, jewelry, wine and delicacies.

He soon spent all the silver given by the Empress Dowager.

When they ran out of money, they began to pay on credit.

Those merchants did not dare to offend the Empress Dowager's family, but agreed to give them credit.

The Lu family was out of control and had more and more credit, but they didn't mean to pay back.

Those businessmen also want to support their families. They tried to ask the Lu family for money, but the money didn't come, but they were beaten out.

Those businessmen were really angry, so they went to Beijing Zhaofu to complain.

Beijing Zhaofu is still hearing the case.

After hearing this, Yan Guan went to Shu Shen's house.

This is only a small matter. If it had not involved the reputation of the empress dowager, the cabinet would not have sent it to the emperor at all.

Luo QingHan didn't take it to heart after reading it.

Then he changed his mind.
