The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 136 The Emperor's Uncle's Vision Should Not Be That Bad

The Li family was quite lively, but the Minister of Rites' residence was in an uproar.

Zhang Zheng's wife, Guo, was so angry that she threw a cup. "A third-rank lady? Why? That little bitch of hers, who is as unpresentable as her mother, is worthy of being named a third-rank lady. Is the emperor crazy?"

"Madam, be careful what you say."

Zhang Zheng actually didn't feel angry, and even immediately started to make a plan. No matter how useless Zhang Ruomei was, she was still his daughter, and now she was a noble lady with an imperial decree, and she would be a helper to him in the future. Although he had taken refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion, who could predict what would happen in the future? It was not impossible to have multiple back-up plans.

Guo looked outside the door in fear. Fortunately, no one was there. She was just too angry. She looked at Zhang Zheng. After so many years of marriage, she knew this old man well. "Hmph, don't forget your current status. You have already surrendered to the prime minister. If he knew that you had other ideas, how long do you think you can stay as the Minister of Rites?"

Zhang Zheng's narrow eyes flashed with a trace of disgust, "What nonsense are you talking about? What other ideas do I have? You are a woman in the inner house, just take good care of the family, and it is none of your business to interfere in other matters."

Guo snorted coldly, "It's best if you don't have any other ideas. I'm just reminding you kindly. Don't think you can get any benefits. Don't forget that you said you would sever the father-daughter relationship back then. Even if she has been decreed now, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Zheng was hit on the point and became a little angry and embarrassed, "I don't know what you are talking about. Can't you let people live in peace every day?" Then he strode away. This yellow-faced woman is really getting more and more outrageous.

Seeing Zhang Zheng leave, Zhang Youruo who was hiding in the dark dared to come out, "Mom, why are you so angry with Dad? Look at him, he must have gone to some concubine's courtyard again, most likely the new eighth concubine, that little witch is used to seducing men."

Zhang Youruo is only seventeen years old, and she is so foul-mouthed at such a young age. She is spoiled by Guo on weekdays and is very arrogant and domineering.

Guo was also furious. "If he wants to go, then go. I don't care if he dies."

Zhang Youruo didn't bother to care about her parents. It had been like this for so many years. "Mom, give me some money. I want to go to Wanbao Pavilion with Xu Pinting to buy something."

Guo frowned, "Why are you going again?"

"Oh, Miss Xu asked me out. Mom, didn't you ask me to get along well with her? How can I not go if she asked me out?"

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right away."

Zhang Youruo then smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

As soon as Xu Tiancai learned the contents of the imperial edict, he entered the palace and went straight to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, didn't this old minister tell you before that the Li family's affairs could be delayed? Why did you issue an order directly and reinstate him? We clearly agreed that the position of Grand Tutor is of great importance. Li Cong has been in Mobei for so many years, how can he take over immediately? Isn't this nonsense?"

Chu Jie also looked embarrassed, "Grandfather, I don't want to do that either. I didn't issue the imperial decree."

"If it's not the emperor, then who is it?" Then he thought of something, "The Regent?"

The emperor nodded aggrievedly, "It was the uncle's people who brought the written imperial edict and came directly to use the seal. I can't do anything about it."

"How outrageous! This is really too outrageous. Even if he is the regent and has made great contributions to the country, you are the emperor now. How can he be so outrageous?"

"Alas, what can I do? He is the emperor's uncle."

Xu Tian looked at Chu Jie with a look of disappointment, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, the supreme ruler. How can you just follow the regent's orders?"

"What else should we do?"

Xu Tian choked. Yes, what else can he do? That's the regent. Just like today, Xu Tian only dared to come and make trouble with the emperor. Even if he knew that the idea was from the regent, he didn't dare to come to the door.

Seeing Xu Tian remained silent, Chu Jie looked like he had lost all hope in life. "Grandfather, what do you think? Should I return the throne to my uncle? We have to listen to him anyway, so he might as well be the emperor himself."

When Xu Tian heard this, he became even angrier, but he had to comfort him on the surface, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you give up the throne just like that? Now you are the emperor, you...you can't be discouraged, you still have to work hard to be a qualified emperor."

"But······"

"But what? Although you are young, you have a great responsibility on your shoulders. You can't be so willful."

The emperor sighed, "Yes, I will listen to my grandfather."

Xu Tian was very satisfied with the emperor's understanding of the current situation. He had forgotten his intention to call the emperor to task. "By the way, when are you going to issue the decree to let your cousin enter the Prince Regent's Palace, as I mentioned to you last time?"

Chu Jie's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light, "I'd better wait until I solve the disaster relief issue before I mention it to my uncle. Because of this mistake, my uncle is very angry, so I dare not mention it."

Xu Tian gritted his teeth, secretly mocking the uselessness of the little emperor, but on the surface he still had to show the image of a loving grandfather.

"Grandfather, you must help me with the disaster relief matter and handle it as soon as possible, so that I don't have to worry so much. The emperor's uncle is really too scary."

Looking at the little emperor with red eyes, Xu Tian felt so proud in his heart. Look, so what if he is the emperor? He still has to beg him, right?

"Haha, don't worry, Grandfather has already made arrangements. There will be good news in ten days at the latest."

The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I have my grandfather, otherwise I don't know how to face my uncle."

"I am your grandfather, how can I not care about you? Don't worry, Your Majesty, your grandfather will always be your strongest supporter. We are a family."

The emperor was very moved. "Well, I know all the good things about my grandfather's family."

The two of them had a good exchange of feelings, and half a minute later the Prime Minister left.

As soon as the person left, Chu Jie's face turned cold.

Xiao Linzi brought up a tray and said, "Your Majesty, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Chu Jie was indeed thirsty, so he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, then sighed, "Do you think the emperor's uncle received the news?"

Xiao Linzi's body stiffened, "Haha, I think he received it."

"Then why hasn't he come yet? Isn't he angry? Or does the emperor's uncle also like my cousin?"

Thinking of Xu Pinting, Chu Jie frowned. He didn't like that woman at all. Although she was always respectful and warm every time she saw him, Chu Jie felt that she was fake, her smile was fake, and she was fake too...

"This...I don't know."

"The emperor's uncle's taste should not be that bad. He will definitely not be interested in Xu Pinting."

"The Prince Regent naturally has high standards. The future Princess Regent must be an extraordinary woman to be worthy of her."

Li Mulan's face suddenly appeared in Chu Jie's mind. What an extraordinary woman...
