Chapter 140

The two queen mothers arrived at the palace of the old capital, and it was reasonable that the king and the princess should go to see the grandmothers.

What's more, the two queen mothers joined hands to hold a banquet and invited them to go.

Even if you give face, this banquet is a must-go.

But Yin Ji didn't want to go.

On the one hand, it is because the Empress Dowager Shouyang used her to woo her, and the Empress Dowager Xia's contempt and hostility towards her were too obvious, and Yin Ji didn't want to be bored with herself;

On the other hand, it is because these two queen mothers have a common hobby, that is, to recommend beautiful women to Yin Changying.

I knew that once the banquet passed, it would be a large group of beautiful women with different appearances, dressed up beautifully, dancing, pouring wine, and serving......

In this case, what is she going to do there? Is it an eyesore?

Yin Changying was not interested in this banquet either.

In the past few days, although outsiders thought they were playing in the mountains and rivers, in fact, he was pulled by Yin Ji to inspect the road that was about to be repaired, discussing how wide the road should be repaired and how many tracks should be paved.

Of course, these should not be matters that he should ask about, just leave them to Shaofu.

But Yin Cheng was very serious and decided to go to the scene to supervise in person, and if something went wrong, she would be able to remedy it.

Yin Changying didn't have anything to do, so he went to see it together.

According to Yin Xi's instructions, Fan Chen led the dependents who mastered the power of "soil" to temporarily dig out the limestone from the mountain, and it took several days of hard work to finally prepare the cement, and from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, paved a hundred-zhang long cement road to facilitate the transportation of cement.

On the other side of the mountain, Sun Qing also took the dependents who mastered the power of "gold" and "wood" - many of them were craftsmen who were empowered by Yin Cheng in Shanglin Yuan, and began to make trains according to the design drawings provided by Yin Hui.

Since Yin Cheng has not really participated in the design of the train, she can only give a rough prototype, and the real construction project still requires these craftsmen to work together and make constant adjustments.

But in any case, the roads and trains are already developing in a good direction.

In this case, most of Yin Changying's mind was spent on the strategy of the Six Nations, and he lacked interest in the so-called banquet.

Especially the queen mother's banquet, it is nothing more than such an old three, first praise his diligence and wisdom, and then softly care about his body, and finally say that there are a few girls around her, beautiful and beautiful, gentle and interpretive, accompanied by the side, which is relieving.

Then, several beauties who were originally standing beside the Queen Mother stepped forward and looked at him shyly.

This kind of routine, Yin Changying has seen too much.

He knew very well in his heart that the two queen mothers didn't really care about him at all, and pretended to ask for warmth, just to let him leave a good impression and further promote their mother's family.

has been introducing beautiful women to him, but he just hopes that the girls of his mother's family can give birth to sons, and even the mother will become the queen and even the next queen mother by virtue of her son, and keep the family rich forever.

The harem women, relying on the king, have enjoyed countless benefits, so they naturally hope that this privilege will last for a long time and forever.

Compared with Yin Hui's real concern, the care of the two queen mothers who are superficial, go through the motions, and are routine seems too false and perfunctory.

After all, Yin Ji really thought about him, and the two queen mothers just wanted to recommend beautiful women to him.

But he didn't care.

Anyway, the beauties sent from any way are almost the same, just accept it, he won't even remember the other party's appearance.

In the harem, there are thousands of beauties he has been fortunate to, and none of them have really gained fame so far. Because none of them he liked, even the ones that were deeply impressed.

If you want to wait for her son to become a talent, the mother is more expensive than the son, so you have to wait.

It stands to reason that when the two queen mothers arrived, Yin Changying should give face, but when he saw Yin Cheng's hesitation, he knew what she was worried about, so he said, "Auntie doesn't want to go?" ”

"I really don't want to." Yin Cheng said honestly, "But the eldest brother will go, right?" ”

Yin Changying went, but she didn't go, it didn't seem to be very suitable.

"Lonely doesn't have much interest." Yin Changying said casually, "Ah Changying doesn't know, this banquet is for the Marquis of Changxin." ”

In terms of control of the court, no one is better than him. Jiang Zhong's doorman and eldest son had just given a generous gift to the two queen mothers, and the queen mother had not said whether to accept it or not, Zheng Gao had already got the gift list and reported it to Yin Changying.

Yin Ji was a little strange: "The two queen mothers...... Are you really so confused? ”

She always felt that the reason why the Empress Dowager Shouyang and the Empress Dowager Xia came late was that they knew that the Empress Dowager Song would rebel and deliberately delayed time to avoid this turmoil.

These two women have been operating in the palace for many years, and naturally there is no shortage of ears.

What's more, as soon as they arrive in Yongdu, they will be able to see their mother's family. Even if they didn't want to get through the customs, their mother's relatives were feudal monarchs, and they had also raised countless customers, so naturally someone could analyze it, and Yin Changying was waiting for Jiang Zhong's resignation.

Under such circumstances, they still dare to accept Jiang Zhong's gift and intercede on their behalf?

"They're not confused." Yin Changying pointed out to Yin Cheng, "Changxinhou is already in the waning days, and he is crumbling. If you don't reach out at this time, when? ”

Yin Ji was silent for a moment before she said, "What does the eldest brother mean that the two queen mothers don't plan to intercede for Jiang Zhong?" ”

"Auntie, do you want to make a bet with Lone?"

“……”

Yin Cheng felt a little disgusted.

Although Jiang Zhong was a little arrogant, he definitely didn't treat these palace nobles badly.

I also know that if Jiang Zhong did something excessive, Yin Changying would definitely not bypass him.

Since Yin Changying is willing to let him live, it means that Jiang Zhong is just a little floating, such as letting Yin Changying call him "middle father", and he doesn't want to return to power for a long time.

As for things like rebellion and murder, he never thought about it.

To put it mildly, the two queen mothers were able to stay well in the palace, and they were not bullied half to death by the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager Song.

But now, Jiang Zhong hasn't fallen yet, and people don't think about him at all, they only think about how to divide up his huge family property, make more money, just collect money, and don't do anything, it's too ......

"What are you thinking?"

"It's just that I suddenly feel a little sad." Yin Xi sighed lightly, "The Marquis of Changxin has only shown a little decadence, and so many people want to bite him for a piece of meat. ”

When Jiang Zhong was in the middle of the day, these people greeted each other with a smile.

"Oh? Auntie doesn't make this bet with Lonely? ”

"I don't know as much about the two queen mothers as the eldest brother, since the eldest brother said so, it must be true."

"Then Auntie is going to lose to Lone."

“?”

Yin Ji raised her eyes and looked over, and saw that Yin Changying seemed to be smiling: "The Empress Dowager Shouyang is exquisite, even if she doesn't intercede in person, she will try to thread the needle." ”

After that, he looked at Yin Ji and was a little playful: "Why don't we change the bet and bet on whether Auntie can be persuaded by Yang Yuan?" ”
