In the next few days, Chen Wenhui accompanied the Qincha team and traveled to five cities on the grassland. The beautiful scenery on the grassland, the majesty and prosperity of the five cities, made the five princes and Chen Yuanheng, as well as the accompanying officials, full of praise.

By the time this is over, it's already September. It was cold early, and the first light snow had fallen. Chen Wenhui reluctantly parted with her parents. Chen Yuanheng and his wife went back to the capital with the Qincha team. I also brought Mrs. Hu with me.

After they left, Chen Wenhui was just sad for a while, and then let go of these things, because she had more things to do. There were so many things that Chen Wenhui didn't have time to be sad.

After a two-month long journey, finally in the early winter of the capital, the Qincha team returned to the capital.

The fifth prince and Chen Yuanheng reported to the emperor on the itinerary this time, as well as the twists and turns, on which the situation in the northwest was written in detail.

The emperor also summoned these envoys to inquire about the situation in the northwest. The emperor asked in detail. After understanding everything, the emperor was very happy, Zhao Chongyi and his wife did a really beautiful job, and no one sent by Dachu to do such an achievement.

So, the imperial court rewarded Zhao Chongyi and his wife again, gave a lot of land in the capital, as well as the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the shops in the capital, and also added the title of Wenhuadian scholar to Zhao Chongyi.

The entire court knew that the emperor was in favor of the northwest princess and his wife.

In the palace, the queen mother had summoned the Bai family, and from the Bai family, she got the decision of Chen Wenhui and his wife, and she was very satisfied with this decision.

When the queen mother learned that the emperor had praised the northwest princess and his wife in the previous dynasty, she was even happier. She is looking at the gift Chen Wenhui brought to her with Lan Ping and Hong Xing at the moment.

In the house, there are a lot of gorgeous and precious furs, a lot of wool blankets, the patterns on them are so exquisite, and there are many woolen materials, feel, quality, and colors are the best. It's a little better than what the Ministry of Internal Affairs buys on the market.

In addition to these, there is also a clip of precious jewelry. It is made of rare amber. The queen said to Hongxing with a smile: "It turns out that these beautiful ambers are produced in the northwest? ”

Hong Xing hurriedly said: "Such a good color amber." It has become popular in the capital in the past two years, but it is really rare to see something like the county lord giving it to Niangniang. The county lord really has a heart. ”

Queen Chen Wenfeng was very satisfied. I slowly admired it. Said to the red apricot: "These things." I can't use it up, these two ingredients are very good, so I'll reward you and Lan Ping. ”

Red Apricot and Lan Ping were delighted. Get down on your knees, thank you.

Queen Chen Wenfeng said again: "These, these, are rewarded to a certain concubine, a nobleman, and a certain concubine in the palace." These, these are rewarded to the great prince. ”

Hong Xing and Lan Ping hurriedly came down and made a record.

The queen said: "Originally, it should have been rewarded to my mother's family, as well as to Princess Huichuan." However, the third aunt has already said that Wen Hui has also brought gifts to them, and if I think these are the same, I won't reward them. ”

After thinking about it for a while, the queen checked out four brightly colored woolen materials, and said: "These four materials, as well as the pair of amber hairpins in the clip, and then from my jewelry clip, send the mutton fat jade bracelet that was honored by the people below some time ago to the Zhongyi Mansion and give it to the eldest girl of the Zhao family." ”

Hongxing and Lanping understood and hurriedly wrote it down.

After the queen was assigned, she asked Hongxing to pack up her things and take Lan Ping to the inner room.

After sitting down, Lan Ping waited for the queen to drink tea. The queen thought for a while and said, "The favor of the Northwest Duke is increasing day by day, and joining forces with their family is better than joining forces with the Bai family." When I think of Bai Guifei's arrogant face, I get tired of it. ”

Lan Ping said: "She can't be arrogant for long. In the future, when the eldest prince gets married and gives birth to a grandson, the emperor will make the eldest prince the crown prince. ”

When the queen thought of that scene, she was very happy and smiled very happily.

After laughing for a while, she thought about it again and said, "The eldest prince is already twelve years old, right?" It's a little early to get married, but I think you can marry him first. What do you think? Give the girl of the Zhao family first, so that you can get the full support of the Xiao Chen family and the Zhao family as soon as possible. ”

Lan Ping said: "But, didn't Lord Wen Hui say it? Please postpone it for another two years, and in these two years, the Zhao family will send Miss Zhao to Xiao Chen's house to teach Old Madam Bai. After the teaching, do you want to marry again? ”

The queen thought for a while and said, "The eldest girl of the Zhao family, we have been looking at it coldly for so many years, and it is really a good one. The manners are generous, the appearance is beautiful, and the upbringing is also first-class. Her mother came from a scholarly family. Her knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary noble families, and the daughters of the family can compare. Also, Mrs. Han is a smart person and a capable person. When she was in the northwest, she was able to help the Northwest Army organize women to assist in the rear. When he returned to the capital, he was also known as a virtuous woman in the circle of noblewomen. Take good care of the entire Zhongyi Mansion. ”

"The eldest girl of the Zhao family who she raised, we have also seen it, is very similar to her mother, she is very capable, she is only eleven years old, and she can help her mother manage the affairs of the Zhongyi Mansion. It's also remarkable. If you can learn from Old Madam Bai for a while, you may be one of the best girls in the capital. ”

"Such a daughter-in-law will definitely be a great help to us in the future. I'm not like the previous queen, I was always afraid that my daughter-in-law would be stronger than me, so I found a useless Ren family, so I had the messy situation of the prince's mansion later. I hope that my daughter-in-law is a capable and good assistant to the eldest prince. ”

Lan Ping said: "If you really train Old Madam Bai for two years, it will be really amazing. In the future, I will definitely be able to assist the eldest prince well. ”

"Let's talk about the family. In fact, although the Bai family is a family, there is not much money, in the past, all that money was supplied to the palace for Bai Guifei to squander. Not much was left. It's that the clan land can get some for her, but it's also a matter of 100,000 taels. I think that in the future, even the dowry of the girl from the emperor's foreign family will be more than that of the girl from the Bai family. ”

"The girl of the Zhao family is different. The Zhongyi Mansion where the Zhao family girl is located was originally a wealthy family. Zhao Chongli inherited most of the family's property back then, and it was easy to give his daughter a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver. In addition, I heard that Zhao Chongli was going to help Wenjun Gongzi fight the life of the Japanese Kingdom, but he made a lot of money. For so many years, Mrs. Han is very good at business, not only has it not decreased, but it has increased, I estimate that it is normal for their husband and wife to take out 200,000 taels of silver. ”

"The old loyal and righteous man is very rich. When the husband and wife of the Northwest got married, the old loyal and righteous husband subsidized the concubines, both of whom had 100,000 taels of silver. This time, if his granddaughter can become the prince's concubine, will he not take out 100,000 taels of silver when he is happy? I heard that he has fought in Nanyang in the past few years and has made a lot of money, so I don't think it's surprising that he took out 200,000 taels of silver. Besides, there is also Lord Wenhui's. We all know that Lord Wenhui has strong financial resources. Coupled with the temperament of the county lord of Wenhui, it is not surprising that he also took out 200,000 taels of silver. I think that when the time comes, the dowry of the Zhao family girl will be much more than that of the two. ”

"Our eldest prince can also make a small fortune with him."

The queen was very happy when she heard it and said: "Hey, as long as the Xiao Chen family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family are willing to support the eldest prince in the future, even if there is no money, I am willing." Since we got Wang Yaozhen's money, we are not short of money, I will give him a million taels of property as a child, and I am also willing. ”

Lan Ping smiled and said, "This is." Only, there is one more problem. Now the people in the capital believe that the queen mother likes the girl of the Bai family the most. The Bai family also believes that the future eldest prince and concubine will be from the Bai family. If they know that Niangniang cares more about Miss Zhao, they are afraid that the Bai family will be angry and will do bad things to Miss Zhao. ”

The queen's heart sank.

This is not a good idea.

The queen thought for a moment and said, "Now I really can't marry the emperor so quickly." Let's wait and see. You go and check out six more horses, four more amber jewelry, and send a pair of jade pendants to the girl of the Bai family. Also, the elements given to the girl of the Zhao family were also sent to the eldest girl of the emperor's family. ”

Lan Ping immediately understood and said: "Niangniang means to let them misunderstand, Niangniang is interested in the eldest girl of the Zhao family as the side concubine, and the girl of the Bai family as the main concubine, right?" ”

The queen smiled and nodded, "In this way, the proud Bai family will not be able to deal with Miss Zhao." When Miss Zhao went to Xiao Chen's house, she was not afraid of anything. With the protection of the Xiao Chen family, the Bai family can't turn over any flowers. You must know that the guards of the Xiao Chen family are the best. Moreover, the Bai family did not dare to go wild in Xiao Chen's family. The people of Xiao Chen's family are not easy to mess with. If the Xiao Chen family is unhappy, not to mention anything else, if the cotton business in the northwest is stirred, I am afraid that the Bai family will not have a good time in the year. ”

Lan Ping laughed.

The queen said: "It's just that, some of the girls from the Zhao family have been wronged, when you go to deliver something, you go and talk to Miss Zhao in private, so that Miss Zhao knows in her heart, do you understand?" ”

Lan Ping hurriedly came down and took the order.

In the Zhongyi Mansion, Miss Zhao received the will and received the reward of the queen's mother, she already knew that her share was the same as the girl from the emperor's family, and the girls of the Bai family had more than hers. Isn't that understandable? This is what it means to let her be a side concubine with the girl from the emperor's foreign family in the future, and the girl from the Bai family as the main concubine.

Although Miss Zhao's face was normal, she was already depressed to death.

At this time, Lan Ping, who came to deliver things, took Miss Zhao's hand, stepped back from the people around her, and whispered what the queen meant. Miss Zhao was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help blushing.

After Lan Ping was sent away by Mrs. Han, Mrs. Han walked over quickly and asked her daughter what Lan Ping told her.

Miss Zhao said Lan Ping's words shyly and timidly.

Mrs. Han was overjoyed. (To be continued......)
