Chapter 305: Advancing (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Yuan Yinglan was very resistant to the idea of Queen Qi Xueyun, and shook her head like a rattle, "Imperial grandmother, even if Ying Lan does not marry in this life, she will resolutely not make anyone small, no matter who is small, whether it is the crown prince's side concubine or the imperial concubine, it is all small, I will never do it!" ”
Queen Qi Xueyun had no choice but to wave her hand, "I know, forget it, don't talk about it." How's your brother's family preparations? ”
Jiajun Wang Yuan Yingjia and Tang Haijia of Tang Anhou Mansion have made a marriage, and the two are going to get married within the 100 days of filial piety of Lu Yue'er, the princess of Qi, and the marriage date of May 28 has been set.
"It's coming, it's coming." Yuan Yinglan was glad that Empress Qi Xueyun's attention had finally shifted, "Everything and everyone are ready, and the Tang Anhou Mansion is already measuring the size of the new house and preparing to shop the house." ”
"That's good." Empress Qi Xueyun's face showed a hint of joy, "As long as your brother becomes his own son, we have nothing to worry about." ”
Yuan Yinglan smiled and nodded, understanding what Queen Qi Xueyun meant.
"Queen Mother, Mrs. Zhang asks to see." The palace maid of Kunhe Hall responded with a crisp voice at the door.
Yuan Yinglan smiled, "Imperial grandmother, Old Madam Zhang has been really diligent in entering the palace recently. ”
She has been to the palace three times in the past few days, and she actually met Mrs. Zhang twice and asked to see her!
Queen Qi Xueyun was very respectful to Mrs. Zhang, of course, she was announced to come in every time.
"It's also for the children of the family." Empress Qi Xueyun chuckled, "The Zhang family can produce a capable minister, which is also a blessing for you and your brother." It's just our Prime Minister's Pavilion, it's a radish and a pit. The turnips are all there. There are no extra pitfalls, which is really tricky. ”
"Are you saying that Mrs. Zhang is seeking an official position for her family?" Yuan Yinglan asked curiously. "Is it the fourth master of the Zhang family?"
The most promising person in the Zhang family now is Zhang Shaotian, the fourth master of Zhang.
It's a pity that now his eldest brother is the deputy minister, and there is no vacant position in the five phases, so he can't enter the cabinet as the deputy minister.
If you can't be a deputy minister, you can play a much smaller role.
"The imperial grandmother has always had a headache, how to find a trouble, just pull down some disobedient people." Empress Qi Xueyun said in a low voice. Holding the lid of the teacup in his hand, he scraped the rim of the teacup and made a creaking sound.
Yuan Yinglan got up silently. I was about to say goodbye and leave, but after listening to Queen Qi Xueyun's words, I remembered the precedent I had just heard of Zheng Hao's self-demotion to a commoner, and my heart moved. His eyes flickered and he looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in front of him, he walked quickly to Queen Qi Xueyun's side, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Imperial grandmother, I suddenly thought of a way, maybe I can help the Zhang family!" ”
"What's the method?" Queen Qi Xueyun lowered her head, held the teacup to her mouth and blew, and raised her eyes from the edge of the teacup to look at her.
Yuan Yinglan prostrated into her ear and said word by word: "Imperial grandmother." I have seen it in the ancient books left by the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past, and the people who were still the masters at that time. None of them can hold official positions of real power. Should we also follow the ancient law and set such a rule? - Whoever is a lord is not allowed to hold an official position with real power, but can only hold a vacant position! ”
Queen Qi Xueyun's body trembled, the teacup in her hand shook, and even the tea in the teacup spilled out, but she didn't notice it at all, but looked at the empty hall in front of her with fixed eyes, and after a long time, she slowly opened a smile, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, good!" That's a good idea! It's like killing two birds with one stone! After speaking, he looked at Yuan Yinglan: "However, this is a double-edged sword, are you sure you want to mention this rule?" ”
Yuan Yinglan said with a smile: "Since I put it forward, I naturally have to abide by it." Grandmother don't worry about me. ”
Anyway, she hasn't decided to marry anyone yet, and she doesn't want to marry anyone at all, so this proposal is fundamentally beneficial and harmless to her, but in the eyes of others, she feels that she is selfless and selfless, and will have deep sympathy for her......
And Yingsleeve is different, she is the one who is married.
Although Xie Dongli was not the county lord when she married Ying Sleeve, but now, she is the royal county lord!
Even if she is not a princess with a title, the current emperor Yuan Hongdi does not have a daughter, so the positions of Yuan Yingsleeve and Yuan Yinglan, the two direct county lords, are no different from princesses.
If Yingsleeve's father Yuan Jianren becomes the emperor, Yingsleeve will be a princess.
If Yuan Yingjia becomes the emperor, Yuan Yinglan will be the eldest princess.
In this way, if Xie Dongli still wants to marry Yingsleeve, he will have to resign from the position of vice minister.
There is no one else in the Xie family who can enter the Prime Minister's Pavilion, so things will return to the original state, that is, the remaining prime minister's position can be given to the Zhang family.
“…… In this way, we can see how affectionate and meaningful Vice Minister Xie is for Lord Ying. Yuan Yinglan had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Men are greedy for the new and forget the old, and the desire for profit is consumed.
Women are always just an embellishment in their lives.
Yuan Yinglan saw this very clearly.
Zheng Hao made a move to ask himself to be degraded to a commoner for Shen Yule, Yuan Yinglan admired him very much, but at the same time he looked down on him, feeling that a man only knew how to revolve around women, although it can be said that children are long, but the next sentence is that the hero is short of breath, and he really doesn't look like a man.
It's a pity that Zheng Hao's handsome appearance is not at all in Yuan Yinglan's eyes.
Xie Dongli is different, he is both tall and good-looking, and he seems to be very attentive to Yingsleeve.
Yuan Yinglan couldn't see anything good about Yingshou at all, and it was worth Xie Dongli to die for her like this.
Queen Qi Xueyun smiled and nodded, "Well said!" In terms of infatuation seeds, we Dongyuan Kingdom can't let Nan Zhengguo take the lead, right? Let's see if our Vice Minister Xie has the courage of the second prince Zheng! ”
Yuan Yinglan followed: "Imperial grandmother, you have to make arrangements for this matter, and you can't let the imperial grandfather know in advance, and it will be difficult to succeed if you have precautions." ”
Queen Qi Xueyun waved her hand, "I naturally know, don't worry, go back first, I want to meet Mrs. Zhang." ”
Yuan Yinglan understood, and the blessing body retreated. I went back to the palace of the king of Qi.
Empress Qi Xueyun summoned Mrs. Zhang to come in and speak.
The two talked for an hour this time, and then left Mrs. Zhang for dinner before letting her go back.
When Mrs. Zhang returned to Zhang's house. It's almost dark.
Qi Shuyu was waiting for her to come back in the upper room.
As soon as she came in, Qi Shuyu brought up the incense and drank it to relieve Mrs. Zhang's fatigue.
"Auntie, why have you been around for so long? But tired? Qi Shuyu ran back and forth to serve, very dedicated.
Mrs. Zhang took the fragrant drink with a smile on her face and took a sip, which was very sweet and refreshing, and she was very happy to eat. smiled: "Shuyu, I'm really annoying you, these things are done by the maid." Don't get tired, go sit over there. ”
Qi Shuyu stood beside her and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, aunt eat while it's hot." ”
That's when it happened. Mrs. Zhang's two daughters-in-law came in to save money.
The first is Zhang Shaohong's wife Zeng Huiyan. The second is Zhang Shaoqi's wife Zhao Guichan.
The two of them stepped forward to salute together.
Mrs. Zhang sighed, ate all the fragrant herbs in her hand, and handed the jasper bowl to Qi Shuyu.
Qi Shuyu took the bowl, his face suddenly changed, he hurriedly put the jasper bowl on the table, he "vomited", covered his mouth, and ran quickly to the inner hall.
"Huh? Cousin Qi, what's wrong? Zhao Guichan asked in deliberate surprise. But eat a bad stomach? ”
Zeng Huiyan said nonchalantly: "If you have a bad stomach, don't serve by the old lady's side." lest it be transmitted to the old lady. ”
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of Qi Shuyu vomiting from the back hall.
It sounded familiar.
Zeng Huiyan and Zhao Guichan were both from the past, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
Zeng Huiyan didn't know what was going on at all, but Zhao Guichan was secretly funny in her heart.
Almost everyone in this house knows about it, but the eldest sister-in-law doesn't know about it......
The eldest brother and Qi Shuyu have been stealing for a while, and now I'm afraid the paper can't hold the fire.
Zhao Guichan covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Look at this vomiting so much, let's ask a doctor to treat my cousin?" ”
Old Madam Zhang also heard something different, and said quietly: "Go and ask the imperial doctor." Then he said to his two daughters-in-law, "Go down first, and ask the eldest to come to me when he returns." ”
"Yes, old lady." Zeng Huiyan and Zhao Guichan retired together.
Not long after they left, a imperial physician was invited in, and it was Zhang Shaohong who came in with the imperial doctor.
While inviting the imperial doctor to enter the door, he asked Mrs. Zhang, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
Old Madam Zhang said coldly: "I'm not feeling well anywhere, you're asking too late!" As he spoke, he got up and bowed slightly to the imperial doctor, and said, "Please help my niece take a look." ”
The Imperial Physician was led to the back hall.
Old Madam Zhang didn't go in, but just looked at Zhang Shaohong coldly.
Zhang Shaohong was worried when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Mother, why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Mrs. Zhang was angry in her heart, picked up her crutches and beat Zhang Shaohong, "Look at the good things you have done!" ”
Zhang Shaohong was shocked, and secretly said that his relationship with Qi Shuyu was discovered by his mother?
He waited in the outer hall in disbelief, and finally waited for the imperial doctor to come out, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhang, I have made my niece happy!" With that, he quickly anointed the soles of his feet with oil and left.
Old Madam Zhang Huo Ran got up and walked to the inner hall.
Zhang Shaohong was startled, and hurriedly followed in, coaxing the maid inside, and only Qi Shuyu knelt on the ground with a pale face.
"Auntie, aunt, it's all my fault, don't blame my eldest cousin. I do things by myself, I give birth to this child, and I will find a nunnery to become a monk! - But please, let me give birth to the child! He grabbed the corner of Mrs. Zhang's clothes, begged bitterly, and wept bitterly.
Zhang Shaohong saw this time, Qi Shuyu still defended him, his legs were weak, and he also knelt down for Mrs. Zhang, kowtowed: "Mother, it's all my son who is confused for a while, don't blame Shuyu." ”
Mrs. Zhang knew about this for a long time, but she didn't get the child, so she turned a blind eye, and now she can't hide it, but she only hated Zhang Shaohong a few crutches before saying, "Shuyu, you go down first." This child is my Zhang family's species, don't worry, I won't let you suffer. So saying, he ordered her to be sent back and guarded strictly, lest she do anything stupid.
As for Zhang Shaohong, Mrs. Zhang is not so easy to speak.
She stared at him quietly for a while before she said, "Boss, if you do what I say, I will fulfill you and Shuyu, how about it?" The implication is that if she doesn't do what she says, she won't fulfill them.
Zhang Shaohong originally listened to Mrs. Zhang's words most of the time, but now at this time, he was even more obedient and hurriedly said: "Mother, just say it!" As long as I can, I will do it! ”
"Well, I want you to present your Majesty at the Great Court Meeting, and ask that all those who are still the lords shall not hold official positions with real power, but can only hold false positions." Mrs. Zhang slapped the table and gave Zhang Shaohong a death order.
Zhang Shaohong was taken aback, and immediately reacted, this is to target Xie Donglian!
After hesitating for a while, he nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Son, give it a try!" However, Vice Minister Xie is cunning and treacherous, and this method may not be able to pull him down. ”
He could see that Mrs. Zhang's idea was to make room for the fourth brother.
"If you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work?" Mrs. Zhang said confidently.
