Chapter 218: Spring Sacrifice
"The Ministry of Engineering will issue the exam questions, and let all the people who want this position compete together, and then who will be more capable of sitting on it, that is a matter at a glance. After all, the Ministry of Industry is related to the interests of the people in the world, and His Majesty should be cautious. ”
"The way you said is good," Hearing what she said, Yang An said with satisfaction: "Just do it according to the way you say." Concubine Xian, you can also let Lin Yan participate in the election on his own, and whether he can sit on the squire at that time depends on his true skills. ”
"Your Majesty is wise," Wen Miao said with a forced smile, "and the concubine will let him know when he returns." ”
"Sister, when did you get so close to that champion Lang?"
A voice woke up everyone present, and Wen Miao looked at Yang An uneasily, and the other party's face really had a look of suspicion.
Even though she scolded Cheng Jingjing thousands of times in her heart, she still said with a smile on her face: "My sister entered the palace late, I don't know that Lin Yan has a life-saving grace to the palace." When Lin Yan entered the palace, he happened to encounter the palace and fell into the water, if he hadn't rescued him in time, the palace would not be sitting here now, and His Majesty also knew about this at the beginning. ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yang An, but fortunately, the other party seemed to remember the accident three years ago.
Cheng Jingjing sneered in her heart, she didn't know if this was a coincidence or someone deliberately arranged it, if it was put on someone else, she would still believe it, but on Wen Miao, she would never believe everything she said.
"I'm about to forget about that incident, but I didn't expect you to still have some contact with Lin Yan now."
The collusion between the harem concubines and the minister is a big deal, and Yang An said in his words: "Although he is your savior, as a harem concubine, it is better for Concubine Xian to have little contact with him in the future." Even if you can't forget this life-saving grace, you must also remember who you are. ”
"The concubines obey Your Majesty's will."
Seeing that Yang An did not doubt himself, Wen Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time cursed Cheng Jingjing thousands of times in his heart. The goal she had so hard to achieve was taken away by her in a few words, and this person was clearly against herself.
After the family banquet, everyone left Hanyuan Hall with their palace maids one after another.
In a deep corridor, the evening spring holds an umbrella high for the queen. Since leaving Hanyuan Palace, the queen has been silent, and she doesn't dare to ask more.
At that banquet, the virtuous concubine and the noble concubine competed against each other, and even fools could see that they were not in harmony, but when they were arguing, they forgot that there was also a queen mother on this house, and as it was today, it seemed that no one in the harem put the queen in their eyes.
"Xichun, what do you think of tonight's family dinner?"
Just as Xichun was thinking wildly, the queen's voice came from the front. She hurriedly said: "That concubine and concubine Xian are too ignorant of the sky and the earth, and they dare to influence the emperor's choice, and they don't know if there is a lady in their eyes." ”
"Naturally, no," the queen said coldly, "but they are fighting with each other like this, but they don't know how to give this palace a chance." Since they don't want to let someone else go, then the palace will arrange people. The question of the exam seems fair on the surface, but Hongu can make a big fuss about it. The two of them are still too young, and they don't know that the most important thing in the court is their connections and background. ”
"Niangniang is wise," Xichun said happily: "When the time comes, see how they are still proud, these individuals can only play lip service, if you want to say that it is real power, then it depends on you, Niangniang." ”
"You girl, flamboyant."
The queen walked forward with her head held high, and the look between her eyebrows seemed to tell everyone that she was the only one in charge of the harem.
In the dormitory of Jinle Palace, Wen Miao was wearing a set of silk underwear and was furious in the room. She swept all the precious ornaments in front of the dresser to the ground, and Ling Man was distressed when she saw it.
"Niangniang is angry, let's find another way then."
"How else can I think of another way?!" Wen Miao stared at his bloodshot eyes and said, "The bureau of this palace has worked so hard to make up for so long, and it has been ruined overnight because of a few words from that person. How do you make Hongu swallow this breath?! ”
"Niangniang, this game has not yet been decided, maybe there will be a chance to redeem it then. That Lin Yan still has some strength, otherwise how would he be admitted to the champion Lang. Maybe when the question comes out, he will take the first place. ”
Ling Man said that he wanted to step forward to support Wen Miao, but was pushed away by the other party.
"Maybe, maybe, you know it's all about maybe!" Wen Miao shouted angrily: "What this palace wants is certain, he must be a waiter of the Ministry of Industry, with his knowledge, he will definitely become a secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the future." At that time, Yin'er in the palace relied on him to support the upper position, but all this was ruined by Cheng Jingjing's slut! ”
"Niangniang, it's useless to get angry here now." Ling Man persuaded her in a good voice: "Why don't we find another opportunity, Lin Yan is not the only one in this world." Now that the eldest brother of the slave maid is a royal guard in front of the emperor, if he can become a military department in the future, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the mother? The eldest brother and the other mothers don't understand, he will definitely fight with his life to support the third prince to sit on the throne. ”
"No, this palace can't wait that long," Wen Miao's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he said slowly: "Now this palace needs to remove the biggest obstacle, otherwise it is impossible for Yin'er of this palace to sit on the throne of the crown prince." ”
"Niangniang wants to borrow the hand of the crown prince or the second prince......" Ling Man asked worriedly.
Wen Miao didn't answer her, but walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and stroked the sleeping Yang Yin: "This kind of thing is unreliable for outsiders, and this palace needs to use Yin'er's hands." ”
"Niangniang, Your Highness, he is just a two-year-old little doll," Ling Man said worriedly: "Please think twice, Your Royal Highness is still young, I'm afraid I can't understand what Niangniang wants to do." ”
"This palace doesn't need him to understand," Wen Miao stood up and looked indifferently into the distance: "Yin'er is simple-minded, this palace will do whatever he asks him to do, and besides, he is still a child, even if he misses and kills someone, no one will blame him, and His Majesty, who loves his son, will not bear to blame him." With such the best of both worlds, why doesn't Hongu do it? ”
"Mother, but ......"
"Okay," Wen Miao interrupted Ling Man's words, and said with a displeased face: "This palace has already made a complete plan, so don't talk any more, just do your duty." ”
"Yes, the slave knows." Ling Man glanced at the little prince on the bed uneasily, and had no choice but to bow down and retreat.
Unconsciously, the cold winter quietly left the capital, and a green dress was all over the riverside. Taking advantage of the spring mood, when the emperor is about to go to Cining Temple on the day of the spring festival to worship, he will also take the palace lady and the prince to parade through the street together, this annual grand occasion makes the people in the capital look forward to it.
"Look, look! There's a Royal Forester ahead! ”
