Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1645: When I gave you face, you didn’t want it, now it’s too late

Lu Mingyu did not rush to pay attention to Mrs. Liu.

After a moment, she asked: "Did you realize that you were wrong? Where did you go wrong?"

Concubine Liu was sincerely afraid that "I am not strict with my concubines, and the maids in the palace have bumped into the empress, and I still ask the empress to punish her."

"boom!"

Lu Mingyu threw the tea cup in front of Concubine Liu.

The tea cup fell into pieces and hot water splashed all over the floor.

Concubine Liu was so shocked that she was speechless.

Lu Mingyu did not speak harshly, nor was he furious.

Just the action of throwing the tea cup revealed everything.

She whispered: "It is my decree that Concubine Liu misses her brother so much that she has nothing to say or do to her family. My thoughts are so infatuated with her that she can move the heavens, make her wishes come true, and allow her to enter the shadow." I practice in Mei'an and pray for the emperor day and night, praying for the long-term peace and stability of our great Qin Dynasty and peace in the prosperous age."

All the maids and maids in the palace knelt on the ground: "The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Lu Mingyu said: "Pass the message."

Lu Yi responded respectfully: "Yes, empress."

When Mrs. Liu saw this, she finally knew she was afraid.

Her face was green and her lips were white, and she kept kowtowing and pleading: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have flirted with the princess, I shouldn't have sent people to monitor your every move, and I shouldn't have been heartless and clung to power. , please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again!"

Lu Mingyu took Lu Yi's hand and stood up. Facing Concubine Liu, who was crying and frightened to death, she looked indifferent and showed no emotion at all.

"You were shameless when I gave you face. Now if you want it, will I give it to you? Mrs. Liu, who is the master of this palace?!"

After saying that, Lu Mingyu left without mercy, leaving the regretful Mrs. Liu behind, slumped on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Inform the harem."

This was the last order given by Lu Mingyu.

Lu Yi hurriedly went to do it, issued one order after another, and soon notified all the palaces about Mrs. Liu's affairs.

Only then did everyone realize that what the Queen had said about sending people to the nunnery to pray for blessings was not empty talk at all.

Princess Liu is a living example.

Unexpectedly, the queen looked soft and kind, but she handled things with such thunderous methods, cleanly and without any sloppiness.

Those concubines who were waiting and watching, or were preparing to cause trouble, immediately stopped their thoughts, and no one wanted to follow in the footsteps of Concubine Liu.The concubine who participated in the harem council could not sit still anymore and immediately came to Zichen Palace to seek an audience and prepare to return the power to the empress.

When Lu Yi reported to Lu Mingyu that several concubines wanted to see them, Lu Mingyu was unwilling to see them: "Let them go back and come back another day. I am not free today."

Lu Yi went to report to several concubines, but no one was willing to leave.

Lu Mingyu ignored them and continued chatting with Princess Zhenli and Dong Sui.

Princess Zhenli smiled and said: "I'm really dozing off and I'm handing you a pillow. If it weren't for Mrs. Liu's trouble, it would be difficult for my little aunt to have such a good opportunity to establish her authority."

Dong Sui smiled and said: "There is only one person in the harem, so there is no need to deliberately establish authority? Does the princess still think that this is the harem from the past?"

Princess Zhenli sighed: "I grew up in such an environment, and I can't change it in a while. Cousin, please don't laugh at me."

Lu Mingyu said: "The queen's majesty still needs to be maintained. There are many old people and people in the palace, so they must know that I am not that easy to talk to, lest they feel confident in the future and do some sneaky things."

Princess Zhenli said: "Little aunt, you are the only serious master in this palace, but there are many people in the palace. Have you considered letting some of them out?"

Lu Mingyu said: "We have this plan, but we are not in a hurry right now. If those palace maids are released, they can still find someone to marry."

"But if the servant is helpless, I'm afraid it won't be as good as in the palace if I let him out. But if I only let the maid out, I'm afraid my reputation of being jealous will spread throughout the world in a short time."

Princess Zhenli curled her lips: "That's true. Except for the Holy Ancestor Emperor back then, no emperor in the Qin Dynasty had only one concubine in his harem."

"I'm afraid those ministers will be nagging about choosing a concubine for my little uncle. If I let the palace maid out at this juncture, my little aunt will definitely be criticized."

Dong Sui said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The world is like this. No matter what happens, as long as someone needs to bear the adverse consequences, it must be a woman."

"Your Majesty only wants Yu'er, and people in the world will praise Your Majesty for his long-term love; but if you only have Yu'er in the harem, people in the world will accuse Yu'er of being jealous."

Lu Mingyu said: "I don't care about those false reputations, but people's hearts and opinions cannot be completely ignored, so we have to find a good time."

Princess Zhenli suggested: "There is a drought in the north. It has not rained for a long time. No crops can be planted. The court needs a lot of money to help divert water."

"Why not take the lead in reducing palace expenses, save money for the people in the north, and take advantage of the situation to lay off people?"

Lu Mingyu said: "Zhenli's suggestion is very popular with me, but don't rush this matter. We can start slowly after I give birth."

"But now we can finalize the regulations first, and there will be no rush when implementing them."

Dong Sui agreed: "What Yu'er said is absolutely true."

Just as Princess Zhenli was about to speak, a palace maid hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, something happened."
