On the second day, Wen Zhen got up early in the morning, dressed up, and prepared to go to congratulate the queen on her birthday.

With her identity, she should go to the court first, and the queen can go to the court today to accept the courtiers' visits. Then the queen returned to the harem, as for whether Wen Zhen would go at that time, it depended on the queen's mood.

The gift to the empress had been sent from Chinese early in the morning, it was a very delicate and heavy wooden box, Wen Zhen quietly opened it and looked at it, and it was indeed a pearl treasure shirt. Shoulder-wrapping half-sleeved style, that is, a pearl shawl, Yan Sui doesn't seem to be stingy, and the queen uses colorful beads, which are huge and round, and they do look like rare treasures at a glance, presumably they are the trophies of Ding Yao who were looted, but Wen Zhen saw that these pearls were lower than the pearls on his dress, and the pearlescent quality was a grade lower, but because they were huge and round, they were very preemptive, and they were much more noble at first glance. I can't help but think that Yan Sui is really much more restrained now, at least in thinking about her affairs, she is becoming more and more careful and cautious.

But she is a more cautious person, although the clothes and jewelry sent by Yan Sui are low-key, but the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, those who have a heart can still see the clues, so they didn't plan to take this dress, only wore their official clothes, and went to the door to get in the car.

She had already agreed with Yan Sui not to go with him. The car was parked outside the door, and Yan Sui's big leader, Chinese, had now become her coachman, but Wen Zhen did not let him catch the car, said a few words to him, asked him to do something, and sent Spanish to catch the car.

Before Wen Zhen approached the car, a person had already come out of the car, and he shouted crisply: "Miss!" ”

Wen Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then recognized that this was the girl who helped her in Zhangxian, a rare kind and courageous woman among embroidery girls. is also in the batch of embroidery girls who were rescued that day.

Chinese said on the side: "Miss Wen, our Highness said that there are no maids in King Yi's mansion, but you can't go in and out of the palace on various occasions without people to serve." It just so happens that this mulberry girl doesn't want to be an embroidery girl anymore, so let her serve you in the future. ”

Wen Zhen originally came out of the Wen family, there was no maid, after all, Wen Zhenzhen did not have a maid who grew up with her, and when she got to the palace, the little palace maid who served her with gold and silver made such a big deal, she didn't want to use a maid, Yan Sui is a monk temple here, and she is not a squeamish person, just occasionally going in and out, which is indeed a little inconvenient.

She had a good impression of this girl Sang Niang, so she helped Sang Niang's hand to get into the car, asked a few words, and made sure that she was really willing to be her maid, so she said that the name Sang Niang was not very good, so she changed to Mulberry picking.

Cai Sang naturally rejoiced, she was born poor, since she was a child and Xiuzhuang signed a death contract, which is equivalent to selling to Xiuzhuang for a lifetime, I thought that I would work until death in this life, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to go out of Zhangxian County. After she knew Wen Zhen's identity, she admired Wen Zhen very much, so as soon as Yan Sui asked, she immediately responded.

Wen Zhen saw that although she was not skilled in being a maid, she was quick with her hands and feet, her attitude was pleasing, and she was in a good mood. Cai Sang said, "Miss, this is a change of clothes for you." ”

Wen Zhen sweated for a while, but she didn't expect that she would not bring it herself, Yan Sui still let this girl take it, wanting her not to carry it too heavy, but Cai Sang refused, and said: "I heard that the official eunuch lady has one or two sets of clothes when she goes out, and the young lady is already wronged by only bringing one set, what if someone talks about your clothes?" ”

Wen Zhen smiled, thinking that this person who had never seen the house fight, how could he be so self-taught, and he didn't say much to her, at this time she was about to go to the palace gate, she was routinely going to the front court, and was about to let Cai Sang wait outside the palace gate, and there was already a palace maid in the queen's palace to salute, and Dao would invite her to eat a bowl of longevity noodles in the queen's palace. This is the grace that has always been given to the women inside and outside, and greeting Wen Zhen is also the proper meaning of the question, Wen Zhen ordered Cai Sang to follow the queen's palace maid to Fengkun Palace first.

Wen Zhen went to Jingren Palace, ranked according to seniority, and entered the civil service team, she and most of the courtiers were just familiar faces, and they just smiled when they met people, and all the officials present were high-ranking officials, and naturally they all responded, but it was difficult to see what thoughts were hidden under the friendly or indifferent faces.

According to Wen Zhen, it shouldn't be too pleasant.

Even if the emperor is open-minded and allows women to enter the court as officials, but after all, this is a discriminated against vulnerable group, and she debuted as a cook, which is easier to be despised, so the emperor said that she didn't need to go to the court, Wen Zhen also accepted it very happily, she didn't want to face the squeeze and gaze of yin and yang all day long.

Even if she has been kind to many people in the Fushou Paste Incident, but human nature is like this, and it is easy to forget the favor.

The princes were standing at the forefront under the leadership of the crown prince, and Wen Zhen only glanced at it casually, and felt a vicious and fierce gaze, which was Yan Jue's. This unlucky guy hasn't come out for a long time since the last time, and this is the first time he has participated in such a public occasion.

When the eunuch inside shook the whip and Xuan Zhuchen entered the hall, Wen Zhen could see that although he tried his best to cover it up, Yan Jue was still a little lame when he walked.

This disability is equivalent to directly cutting off his path to inheritance, and there has been no lame emperor since ancient times.

In fact, if he is lame or not, Yan will never have a chance to reach the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but the person concerned will not think so, he will only feel that his opportunity has been framed and deprived of it.

He was behind Yan Sui, Wen Zhen saw him staring straight at the back of Yan Sui's neck, faintly worried about whether this guy would suddenly go berserk, and took out a knife and poked it in.

Yan Sui herself, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all, and turned her back to the person who hated her, as if there was no one behind her, just an Adélie penguin.

Wen Zhen saw that Lin Feibai was also there, in the seventh general, that person stood there coldly, even if he was in his own population, he was out of place with the rest of the people.

Wen Zhen wondered if this was intentional or innate? The Lin family is too famous, the military power is too strong, but the people are thin and thin, if Lin Feibai behaves like a fish in water, I am afraid that he will die quickly.

Li Guogong stood in the second place of the generals with a shy stomach, and nodded when he saw her.

Wen Zhen also returned the gift. I feel that Li Xiang's attitude seems to be a little different. I have always felt that Li Guogong seems to be a fool but is actually shrewd, and he is reluctant to get involved in various conflicts of interest. When I have the opportunity, I sell it well, and I don't have much to do on weekdays, but now it's a bit rare to take the initiative to greet like this.

I heard that Li Guogong gave birth to eight sons, and the chickens and dogs in the house were jumping all day long, and he was very fond and protective of his brother's daughter Li Xiao.

After so many years of infiltration and integration by the emperor, except for the Feng family that has been destroyed, Yao Lilin Shan is actually gradually attached to the imperial court, at most there are some small Jiujiu in terms of interests, and the Sikong family has an ambiguous attitude, and only the three giants must be broken by Zhao'an.

Wen Zhen found that there are actually very few marriages between the nine great families, which is a bit unconventional, but a few days ago I listened to it in Yi Renli, it is said that when the nine great families followed the founding ancestor to conquer the world, they had oaths and curses, and the marriage was easy to be ominous, so they rarely colluded in this regard. It's just that now many years have passed, and many people don't care about this one anymore.

Wen Zhen thinks about it, isn't it ominous? The Sikong family wants to marry the Tang family, but what is the result? Sikong Fan is dead.

I heard that Sikong Qun has been on the fold, and asked for the eldest son Sikong Yu to be the son. His Majesty has agreed.

Wen Zhen entered the hall while thinking, the emperor and queen of Jingren Palace ascended to the throne, and the queen was dressed in regular clothes, smiling to accept the courtiers' worship and offering.

Although she was grounded for a while, the emperor never showed the idea of abolishing the queen, and now the concubine is dominant in the palace, and the concubine has no mother's family, and she acts presumptuously, and the three princes under her knees are also generally virtuous.

This respect is expressed in words, gestures, and gifts.

The crown prince presented a multicolored gemstone peony, the flower is as big as a plate, and the color is brilliant, which announces the status of the queen mother in the world from all angles.

The eldest prince needs to defend the border, and ordered the deputy general to present a pair of imperial green jade Ruyi on his behalf.

The third is Yan Sui, everyone's eyes are focused on him, the eunuch holds the gift plate, and Yan Sui reaches out and takes out his sleeve.

Most of today's gifts are not small in size and are packed in various gorgeous boxes. The entourage did not enter the hall well, so they all carefully held it and put it in the eunuch's ceremonial plate respectfully, how could they be stuffed into their sleeves like this.

There wasn't even a box, and it was obviously not an unusual thing.

Although most of the eyes of everyone looking at Yan Sui were not good, no one would be troubled at this moment, but suddenly someone snorted coldly and said: "Looking at the posture of His Royal Highness King Yi's gift, it will not be a shocking treasure." I want the minister to say, Your Royal Highness, don't offer this gift, do less things that anger people, and cause less trouble for the royal family, which is also filial piety and considerate mother. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court, which was still a little buzzing, was suddenly so quiet that it could be heard.

Wen Zhen looked at Yao Taiwei with some surprise, and had the impression that this important minister of the court was a bit stiff, but he didn't have too much selfishness when it came to things, and it was because of this that Yao Taiwei was able to ascend to the position of the third prince with a family background. Why did he seem to have fallen into a Gu in the past few days, and suddenly targeted Yan Sui like this?

The queen did not give up impeachment on her birthday, and it seems that she has found a new breakthrough point, which is to crucify Yan Sui's crime a little more, and not let him fall off the throne.

Everyone stared, Yan Sui didn't feel it, and didn't even look at Mrs. Yao, but the hand that reached into the sleeve stopped, glanced at Mrs. Yao, and said, "If you want to come to Mrs. Yao, what you want to offer must be a shocking gift." ”

"Definitely." Taiwei Yao shook his head, "The queen has always been virtuous and simple, and the loyalty of a courtier should not be judged by the preciousness of the gift. As the old minister just said, can protect my mountains and rivers, can seek benefits for the people, can do his best for His Majesty, can do his best for the court, such a minister, such a courtesy, should be His Majesty and Niangniang's favorite. Saying that he saluted the queen, "I don't know if the mother thinks so?" ”

The queen smiled, "That's natural. However, the gift of loyalty, the gift of treasures, are all the hearts of the kings, and the palace likes them very much. ”

Yao Taiwei said lightly: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

As soon as his words fell, he immediately answered excitedly in a voice: "Yes, I still ask His Royal Highness King Yi to give His Majesty an explanation of the matter of Wuhaicao Kan's life, and give His Majesty Niangniang the failure of the Yaoguo peace talks to make up for it, fulfill his filial piety, and then talk about the rest!" ”

Everyone turned their heads sideways to look at the silly and bold man who spoke, and gave encouragement, support and admiration with their eyes, and some people looked worried, a little puzzled why these two people were firing on such a festive occasion.

But if you think about it carefully, the queen mother should like this kind of shooting, and she will definitely not mind that her birthday will become a three-hall trial of His Royal Highness King Yi again.

Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows, and his anger appeared.

Hasn't this been done for days? Do queens continue to work overtime on their birthdays? Do you want to die forever?

Lin Feibai was not far from her, and she turned her head to the side and asked him quietly, "Who is this old guy?" ”

"Taichang Siqing, Lin Yu."

Wen Zhen was thinking about who this was, he didn't have any sense of existence before, Taichang Temple, Qinggui civil service, why did he suddenly get on the same page with Yan Sui.

After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered, wasn't this the father of Mrs. Lin of Yao County? Yao Xiancheng is Yao Taiwei's favorite nephew, it is said that Yao Taiwei's sons are good at martial arts, but they have no achievements, Yao Taiwei's nephew has been raised in his house since he was a child, and he is almost a son.

In this way, it is barely a pair of in-laws.

The Lin family was dead on the Wuhai Sea, Wen Zhen frowned, and he kind of understood the reason why these two people were in trouble regardless of the occasion.

Yan Sui completely stopped taking out the gift, glanced at Lin Yu, and said, "This king has to explain, and it is also a matter with my father." Why bother? ”

"Heavenly family is selfless!" Lin Yu replied stiffly, staring at Yan Sui's eyes full of grief and indignation, "What's more, I'm still a bitter master!" ”

There was a bang in the hall, and everyone stared at Lin Yu in disbelief.

The emperor frowned, looked at Yan Sui, and suddenly looked at Wen Zhen again.

Wen Zhen lowered his eyes and did not answer his gaze.

The queen is still sitting like a bodhisattva, as soon as Lin Yu said this, her eyes turned red when she saw it, she desperately held back, pounced forward, knelt under the danqi, and kowtowed to the emperor and queen, "Your Majesty forgives you, Niangniang forgives you, the minister shouldn't have mentioned this matter on this festive day, but it was really ...... It's really ...... The minister only learned last night that the little girl died on the Wuhai Sea, and the minister tossed and turned all night...... Today's ministers have advice...... Please ask Your Majesty to sue the minister, and the minister is willing to receive the crime of disrespecting the queen in the Golden Palace! ”

There was a suffocating silence, and after a long while, it was the emperor who answered, "Then you can say it." ”

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and choked up, and said: "On the Wuhai Sea that day, the Tang family feasted guests, and invited relatives, friends and the people of Jianzhou to watch the ceremony. The young daughter of the minister, Lin, married to Yao Wenyong, the nephew of Yao Taiwei and the county of Zhangxian County, was also invited......" and told a rough story about the day, and finally said, "His Royal Highness King Yi ordered to crash the Tang family's ship, causing the little daughter and son-in-law to fall into the water, the son-in-law was saved first, and got on the Tang family's rescue boat, but the little girl was in the water and was bitten by the sea beast and died. And His Royal Highness was present at that time, not only did he not rescue, but when the courtier-in-law knelt down and begged His Highness to save the little girl, His Royal Highness ignored it! ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

Wen Zhen raised his eyebrows.

She felt a little overwhelmed.

It's really a reversal of black and white.

"Lord Lin."

The sweet female voice sounded above the Golden Palace, and the ministers were in a trance for a while, thinking that the woman who came from didn't seem to be the queen. And then I reacted, oh, now there is one more female minister.

Everyone looked at her in unison, Wen Zhen met everyone's gaze, and said lightly: "I don't know who told Lord Lin about this version, but as far as I know, this is not the case." ”

"Isn't it how?" Lin Yu gritted her teeth and stared at her, "You want to say that the little girl's death was caused by herself, and it has nothing to do with His Highness, right?" ”

The last sentence burst out from between his teeth, and the extremely sad and indignant literati could also have a murderous aura, the ministers looked at him, then at Wen Zhen, and finally with the ambition, look at Yan Sui.

Unlike everyone's complicated complexions, Yan Sui had been listening to it all the time, and his indifferent expression changed slightly after Wen Zhen suddenly spoke, and the change was not obvious to people who were not familiar with him, but for no reason, he would also feel that His Highness suddenly looked brighter, his eyes were more clear, and his already beautiful appearance was more radiant.

Seems to be in a good mood, very good.

Wen Zhen didn't look at Yan Sui, only stared at Lin Yu, under his forced gaze, he groaned for a while, and replied calmly: "If you want to say that, it's okay." ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The ministers smashed all the eyes that had been focused on Yan Sui unbelievably at her.

Master Wen has always been gentle and sweet, and kind to others, how can he say such things today?

Lin Yu laughed angrily, completely forgetting that this was the court, and hissed: "Do you still want to say that the Tang family's boat was broken by himself, and it was not hit by His Highness?!" ”

Wen Zhen was silent for a moment, in fact, this is not completely wrong, Tang Xianzhi's ship-in-ship design, it is very likely that even if there is no accident of being hit, it will decompose by itself, and then it will be another group of people who are unlucky, otherwise there is no need to use this kind of design.

But there is no need to say what didn't happen, let alone Tang Xianzhi.

"That's not it, there was indeed a collision with the ship, and it was indeed ordered by His Highness, but it was just ......"

Lin Yu interrupted her words, and suddenly sneered, "Master Wen, I remember that you have done some good things since you became a female official, and I deliberately saved you some face. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of restraint, and you didn't want to repent when you were gently let go, and you still wanted to protect the guilty. It's really a desire for profit, and women don't cultivate morality! ”

Lin Feibai kept frowning and listening, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and was pulled by Wen Zhen.

Yan Sui turned his head and glanced at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu shook subconsciously, then straightened his waist and glared at Yan Sui.

It was Yan Jue who answered the call, this guy was tossed by Yan Sui, probably a broken jar and a broken fall, and his courage was much fatter than before, standing beside Yan Sui, holding his chin and smiling: "Lord Lin, listen to your tone, it seems that Wuhai will not save this matter when he sees death, and Lord Wen also has a share." ”

Lin Yu Shili said: "Yes, in fact, the minister-in-law also asked Lord Wen for help, and Lord Wen was on the Tang family's spare boat at that time, but Lord Wen didn't pay attention to it. He looked at Wen Zhen coldly, "I heard that on that day, countless people fell into the sea, crying and struggling in the wind and rain and cold sea, but Lord Wen was well protected, surrounded by guards, thick clothes, not a drop of water was touched, and it was naturally difficult to understand the life and death of others." ”

Yao Taiwei immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is my nephew Yao Wenyong's personal experience, His Royal Highness King Yi was impeached by this Wuhai incident a few days ago, and he has not given a word of explanation so far. Please let Your Majesty allow Yao Wenyong to confront the palace. ”

The emperor glanced at Yan Sui again, and said lightly for a while: "Xuan." ”
