Chen Wenhui suddenly realized that this matter still has something to do with her. Because of Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi's trip to southern Xinjiang, Liu Yan paid attention to southern Xinjiang. In the next ten years, Liu Yan should focus on dealing with southern Xinjiang. If you want to deal with southern Xinjiang, you must first envelop the royal family land on the border of southern Xinjiang and eyeing it.

With Liu Yan's character, he used that family, and naturally began to pamper the palace concubines produced by this family. That is naturally the royal concubine of the Wang family in the palace.

In this regard, Chen Wenhui once again expressed contempt.

Chen Wenhui is about to arrive in the capital, and in the palace Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Chen is there

Build flower branches, at this moment the capital has spring, Cining Palace also put a lot of potted flowers, although not yet open, but already budding.

While building flower branches, Empress Dowager Chen spoke to Yu'er beside her: "Yu'er, are you saying that Wen Hui will be able to arrive in the capital in two days?" ”

Yu'er is not dressed as a big palace maid at the moment, she is already Mama Yu, and she has become the highest-ranking housekeeper in the palace. Among the palace maids in the palace, there are three people with the highest grade, one is the jade grandmother next to the Empress Dowager Chen, and the other is the red grandmother next to the queen's mother. This red mama is Chen Wenfeng's maid Hongxing, and she is also in a high position at the moment. There is also a Chunxi Mama next to Emperor Liu Yan. is different from the young and beautiful of Mama Yu and Mama Hong, Mama Chunxi is already an old woman, she has been serving the emperor since she was a child, so she has to be more respectful, that is, the queen mother, the queen gave her three points.

Mama Yu's face no longer had the gloomy look she had before, showing a kind of indifference. There was a sense of vicissitudes that were more mature than her age, and at this moment she said with a smile on her face: "This time, Lord Wenhui has made a great contribution again." The trip to southern Xinjiang opened up trade channels with southern Xinjiang, and Lord Junma Zhao investigated so many big cases in Jiangnan, didn't he make a great contribution? While there are still two days left, Niangniang hurriedly thinks about how to reward Lord Wenhui, right? ”

Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile on her face: "You will ask for a reward for her." It can be seen that she has received her benefits on weekdays. ”

If the ordinary master said this, the palace maid would definitely be frightened, but Yu'er did know that the queen mother was joking with her. She also replied with a smile: "Lord Wen Hui has always been generous, and she came to the palace as soon as she came. Our palace led the way for her. Pouring tea, the palace maids and eunuchs were all overjoyed, and everyone could get a large reward. Who doesn't look forward to her coming? To tell the truth, the slave is also looking forward to her coming? I really don't like ordinary things of gold and silver. I like the strange local specialties that Lord Wen Hui brings me every time he comes. This time. Go without saying. They will definitely bring us the specialties of southern Xinjiang. ”

"What we give us are all small things, and the lord of Wenhui is the most filial, so I want the slave to say. Among these nieces of the county lord Wen Hui, including the queen mother, she is the most filial. This time I went to southern Xinjiang, and I must bring a lot of southern Xinjiang specialties to the Queen Mother. Although it is not a slave's thing, it is good that the slave can open her eyes. ”

Empress Dowager Chen was even happier when she said this, and said: "You, when you mention Wen Hui, this mouth is also sharp. I'm just saying that you have a cart like this waiting here. It's really hard wings. However, what you said is also right, I also look forward to Wen Hui's child entering the palace to see me. She's a smart person, and she doesn't get tired of talking to her. Hey, where is it like our queen mother, who has the noble blood of the Chen family and the Wang family, and was raised by my mother since she was a child, why can't she compare to Xia Hui? Look at how stupid she is. ”

Speaking of which, Mama Yu is not easy to answer.

Empress Dowager Chen said: "Such a good opportunity, or Wen Hui and his wife went to investigate the case, and made the white concubine and Ma Shufei in the palace disgraced, and the Bai family and the Ma family outside the palace suffered a secret loss, and the power of our Chen family and Xiao Chen's family rose sharply, but she was involved by Li Chongyi because of a few silver coins, which is really stupid." ”

Mama Yu could only persuade and say: "The queen also has the hardships of the queen mother. She has been in the palace for so many years, fighting the world for the emperor, doesn't she need to spend money? How thin the emperor's family background was, Niangniang didn't know. It's not easy for her. Although the queen is the daughter of the Chen family, she is not the little Chen family born in the rich world, but the daughter of the big house. In our Chen family's house, outsiders don't know, isn't Niangniang still clear? All the money is controlled by the second lady, where can I get the money in the big house? Before, the queen didn't live much of a rich life in her mother's family. Fortunately, when he got married, because he was married to the prince, the clan gave a dowry of 100,000 taels, but the house didn't give much, not as much as the third master, and the third master gave 20,000 taels at that time. ”

"The dowry of more than 100,000 taels of silver, after so many years, has long been unable to make ends meet, and the queen is also poor, but she is the queen, who will she tell to go? If my mother's family can't support it, I can only figure it out by myself. This is the matter of Li Chongyi's mother's family paying tribute. Who knew that Li Chongyi's mother's family was so nonsense, it was even more excessive than Concubine Wang Xian's mother's family. No, it's a burden on the queen. ”

"Fortunately, before, Niangniang once sent down Bai Guifei and suppressed the power of the Bai family, otherwise, this time the queen is really dangerous."

Empress Dowager Chen sighed and said, "Isn't it? No matter how stupid she is, she is my niece after all, and the future of my Chen family. As long as I live for one day, I will contribute to the Chen family for one day. How can I protect her position as the queen? ”

Mama Yu nodded and said, "If the queen mother does not have the support of the queen mother, I am afraid that she will not be able to stay in this palace for a day." Look at this palace, everyone knows that Bai Guifei and Concubine Ma Shu are favored, all of them are on the pole, where is there still a queen in their eyes? ”

Empress Dowager Chen said: "No matter how capable I am, I can't manage the emperor's room?" I have a way to do everything else, but this one is up to her to fight for it. ”

"However, I should also talk to my father and mother about the silver. You put up a sign for me, announcing that my father and mother have come to meet me. ”

Mama Yu hurriedly responded and retreated.

At this moment, the queen Chen Wenfeng in Fengyi Palace is holding her forehead with one hand, and the recent events have really made her anxious and tired of coping.

At this time, her palace maid Lan Ping brought a bowl of bird's nest and said softly: "Niangniang, you have been in poor health recently, so the imperial doctor asked you to drink some bird's nest to replenish it." The slave maid went to boil it herself, and this bird's nest was made with the best blood bird's nest in Nanyang sent by the lord of Wenhui, which was the most nourishing. ”

Empress Chen waved her hand in annoyance and said, "I don't want to drink it, you can take it." ”

Lan Ping stood still and didn't move, but persuaded her: "Niangniang, your phoenix body is the most important, let's drink it." ”

If it was an ordinary palace person who said this, Empress Chen would definitely have punished her, but this is Lan Ping, this is the person sent by Empress Dowager Chen, and she wants to give some affection.

Empress Chen's ninja said with displeasure in her heart: "Okay, you put it down, I'll drink it later." Well, you said this is a blood swallow sent by Wen Hui? ”

Lan Ping hurriedly smiled and said, "Exactly, Lord Wenhui is the sister of the queen's mother, and she is about to come back from Jiangnan." This time, the couple has made a great contribution again. ”

Queen Chen couldn't help straightening up and standing up, this Lan Ping, as expected, was sent by her aunt, but she has brains better than Xinghong. At this time, when Empress Chen was in trouble and at a loss, she brought a bowl of blood swallow soup, which was not unintentional, it turned out that she was reminding herself that the solution to the current predicament was to rely on her cousin, the county lord Wenhui, who was about to enter Beijing.

I have to say that this idea made Chen Wenfeng suddenly enlightened, who is the county lord of Wenhui? Others don't know, but Chen Wenfeng does. Chen Wenhui has a very important position in the emperor's heart, the invincible Bai Guifei, and the self-righteous Concubine Ma Shufei, there is no comparison with Chen Wenhui.

Chen Wenhui not only has a special feeling in the emperor's heart, but Chen Wenhui is also married to Zhao Chongyi, the emperor's most trusted person. Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan are the emperor's hair. That feeling is not comparable to ordinary people. By the way, who came back with Chen Wenhui and his wife, Liu Jingyuan's wife, Mrs. Mingzhu.

Mrs. Mingzhu and the emperor knew each other when they were at the end of the year, and they were still the righteous daughters of Mrs. Bai of the Xiao Chen family, and the trust of the queen mother and the emperor was deep. It can be said that Mrs. Mingzhu is to herself what Mrs. Bai is to the Queen Mother.

It's like one of my arms coming back. Not to mention that the clever and powerful cousin Lord Wen Hui has also returned. Their current predicament should be solved after the two of them return to Beijing.

Thinking of this, Empress Chen suddenly lifted her spirits, and she said to Lan Ping: "Lan Ping, you are the person given to me by the Queen Mother, I have always trusted you, you must tell me if you have anything." Although Xinghong beside me is loyal, but this insight is far worse than you, I am in this palace, every step is difficult, you are always reminding me. I heard that your family is in the capital, how many people are there? Need help from my family? ”

When Lan Ping heard this, she immediately knew that the opportunity had come, so she knelt down and said, "Slave and maid, thank the queen mother." The slave maid also has a mother, two younger sisters, and an older brother. When I was at the Queen Mother's time, I often received the grace of the Queen Mother to give my mother's family a little money, so the family was enough. ”

Saying this, Empress Chen understood and said: "Although your family has enough, if your brother can have something to do, or a business, or some granges, wouldn't it be better to support your mother?" Are your sisters married? Is there a fixed marriage? (To be continued......)
