Without waiting for Qi Moyuan's hand to touch his face, Jiang Juan quickly raised his hand and slapped his hand, and quickly got out of bed.

Qi Moyuan just deliberately teased her, Jiang Wan pinched his face and nose, if he wanted to stop it, he just didn't pretend to be asleep.

She pinched his face and was caught by him, and she could pinch it whenever she wanted in the future, and she was not in a hurry for a while.

Jiang Juan got out of bed, and Jin Er happened to push the door in with a copper basin.

When she walked to the bead curtain, she saw the quilt lying on the ground, and she was stunned.

Why did the quilt fall to the ground?

Putting down the copper basin, Jin Er picked up the quilt, didn't dare to ask more, put it on the side of the couch, and came over to serve Jiang Juan to dress.

Qi Moyuan sat on the bed and watched, waiting for Jiang Juan to get dressed before he got out of bed.

Standing there with open arms, "My face hurts." ”

Jiang Wan almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of old blood.

Did he wear his face ?!

Jiang Wan looked skeptical.

Qi Moyuan looked at her with confidence.

Jiang Wan, who was watching, was weak.

He's thick-skinned and can't compare to him.

And there was also a helper, Jin Er took Qi Moyuan's brocade robe and stuffed it into her hand.

Even the maid thought it was nothing for her to help Qi Moyuan get dressed, not to mention that people's faces still hurt.

Yesterday her arm was numb, and today her face hurts, and she wants to see what reason he has for her to dress tomorrow.

After washing, Jiang Juan sat down on the table to eat, and made up his mind to ignore Qi Moyuan.

Qi Moyuan saw through Jiang Juan's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile, "You're not curious about what I was busy with yesterday?" ”

"What are you busy with?" Jiang Juan asked casually.

After asking, I was annoyed again.

She's fooled!

Jiang Wan bit the steamed bun angrily, Qi Moyuan said happily, "Yesterday, Old Prince Jiang sent someone to send me to the military camp and picked three hundred soldiers, you pick an auspicious day, and the academy will be able to start." ”

When it came to business, Jiang Wan's anger disappeared for the most part, and said, "Start work so soon?" ”

"Even if the wood is cut from the mountains, it will have to be dried for a while before it can be used."

She spent so much effort and money to build the academy, she didn't seek fame, but she couldn't give her the whole tofu scum project.

Qi Moyuan sandwiched a meat bun for Jiang Juan, and then said, "I found the largest wood supplier in Kyoto, and asked them to provide the wood needed for the construction of the academy, and then added 20% to return to him." ”

That is, the wet wood cut down from the mountains is exchanged for the wood dried in the hands of other timber merchants.

In this way, the academy won time, and the timber merchants did not suffer, and they also fell into personal favors.

The whole of Kyoto knows that it is the emperor who wants to build the academy, and it is a good thing to repair the academy, which will not suffer a loss, but also leave a favor, and a good thing that pie will fall from the sky, and a fool will refuse.

Jiang Juan nodded and said, "I don't know when it is an auspicious day for the zodiac, so let the emperor pick it." ”

"It's okay," Qi Mo said from afar.

After breakfast, Jiang Juan took Jin Er to Songling Hall to greet the old lady.

Usually, when she arrives, the old lady is in the main hall.

Now she went, and the main hall was empty, except for the two little maids who were wiping the table.

Jiang Juan asked the maid, "What about the old lady?" ”

The little maid hurriedly replied, "The old lady is in the inner room." ”

Jiang Juan wondered if he had come too early, yesterday the prince pressed the old lady with the old man, the old lady wouldn't be angry and didn't sleep all night, right?

Forget it, she's better go to the princess.

Jiang Juan turned around to leave, but only after a few steps, a maid called, "The princess ......." ”

Jiang Juan turned around, and saw the maid walking forward quickly, "The old lady worships the Buddha in the inner room, and asks the slave maid to invite the princess to go." ”

Jiang Juan went to the inner room with the maid.

Inside the house, the old lady knelt on the futon, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were not slow.

Jiang Juan stepped forward and stood beside Chen's mother, not daring to disturb the old lady.

After half a cup of tea, the old lady stopped, and Chen's mother said, "The princess is here." ”

The old lady raised her hand, and Chen's mother helped her up.

The old lady sat on the couch over there, and Jiang Juan stepped forward to ask for peace, without asking anything, just looking at the old lady.

The old lady looked at her and said, "There is nothing else to do with you, now the princess is pregnant, and she has a fetal gas, so it is not suitable to work, the second wife and the third wife have committed an accident, and they are still being punished, and a month later is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the matter of preparing a birthday gift for the Queen Mother can only be handed over to you." ”

Jiang Juan was stunned, but she didn't expect the old lady to come to her to "entrust her with a heavy task".

This errand is not good, it should be done well, if it is not done well, it will lose the face of the Jing'an Palace, and maybe he will be reprimanded.

Jiang Juan wanted to refuse, but the old lady asked her, "Can you needlework?" ”

In four simple words, Jiang Wan's nine fingers hurt when he asked.

She shook her head.

The old lady frowned a little, and said, "What to give, you can discuss it with the prince, the birthday gift for the queen mother must be outstanding, and you can't lose my share of the Jing'an Palace." ”

It's no need to push.

But also, the princess, the second wife, and the third wife are all in trouble, especially the second wife and the third wife, and the two people who are still being punished are not suitable to prepare a birthday gift for the queen mother.

Jiang Juan nodded in response.

Out of Songling Hall, Jin Er said, "The birthday gift for the Queen Mother is not easy to prepare, and the wife has to think about it for several days every year." ”

How could Jiang Juan not know that this birthday gift was not easy to prepare.

What is the identity of the Queen Mother, what good things have not been seen, and it is not ordinarily difficult to attract attention in front of the Queen Mother.

In particular, the status of Hejian Mansion and Jing'an Mansion in the court is not low, and the gifts to the Queen Mother naturally cannot be bad, but the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen Mother is not so good......

If the birthday gift is well prepared, this errand will not be her turn.

Jiang Juan pondered all the way to Tianxiang Courtyard, thinking too much, the lord of Qinglan called her twice, but Jiang Juan didn't hear it.

Jin Er reminded, "Girl, the lord of Qinglan County has called you." ”

Jiang Juan looked up and saw the county lord of Qinglan coming over with a maid peony.

Lord Qinglan smiled, "What is my sister-in-law thinking so seriously?" ”

Jiang Juan said with a smile, "Just now, the old lady handed over to me the matter of preparing a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, I was thinking about what to give to the Queen Mother." ”

The county lord of Qinglan then remembered that it was indeed time to prepare a birthday gift for the queen mother, and she whispered, "There are a lot of good things in the treasury, and my sister-in-law can't think of a good way, so just pick one and offer it." ”

"In previous years, the mother concubine did this, although she was not outstanding, but she was not ashamed, at most, the old lady did not have any new ideas in the birthday gift she prepared, and this matter was over."

Poor Jiang Juan also planned to ask the princess what to send, after all, the princess was pregnant, and there was nothing unsuitable for work, the lord of Qinglan said so, how could there be any need to ask the princess.

The lord of Qinglan didn't think it was a big deal, the queen mother rewarded Concubine Mei to the prince, no matter how well she prepared, the queen mother would not like her mother, and it would be a shame.

But this, the county lord of Qinglan is inconvenient to say, she said, "There is still a month, it's not too late to think slowly, it's easy to walk and think about things, let's go to the concubine." ”
