Lan Qingyun's cold eyes fell on Wang Peizhi, "Didn't you take someone to the princess's mansion, what was the result?" ”

"You know?"

Wang Peizhi suddenly felt a wave of anger rise in her heart, "You know that the King of Jiangdu is in the Blue Mirror Mansion, but you let me lead people to break in, why don't you stop me?" ”

"Stopping you?" Lan Qingyun sneered, "From the time you married me to now, fifteen years, how can I have one thing to stop you, haven't you always been arrogant, what's the matter, this time you suffered a loss?" ”

"Lan Qingyun!"

Wang Peizhi was trembling with anger, "I'm strong, it's because I admit that I'm not as empathetic as the slut of the Mei family, but I'm not strong, how did you come to be a scholar, who cares about the food and drink of hundreds of people in the huge mansion, all these years, have you ever asked?" ”

Wang Peizhi said, showing a rare look of vulnerability and resentment, "Up to now, I am an old pearl yellow, you are on the rise, you know that you dislike me, you want to borrow the hand of the king of Jiangdu to get rid of me, so as to support the Mei family's slut to take the throne, but you miscalculated, the king of Jiangdu has nothing to do with me, Lan Qingyun, as long as I Wang Peizhi is here, this position of wife, you don't want to give it to other vixens!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Lan Qingyun looked at Wang Peizhi's performance coldly, and finally ended with four simple words.

Wang Peizhi walked out of Lan Qingyun's room lonely, when she stepped out of the courtyard, she wiped away her tears and puffed up her chest, she Wang Peizhi has been strong for half her life, even if she occasionally falls behind, she doesn't allow others to look at her jokes.

Life is disrupted, and time passes.

On this day, when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Lan Zhaoguo went to court, he only discussed one thing, that is, the concubine selection ceremony of the king of Jiangdu was about to begin.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers condescendingly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I only got the news last night, the concubine selection ceremony of the king of Jiangdu is imminent, and all countries are ready to move, and I, Lan Zhaoguo, was also elected as a noble girl to participate in the draft, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks about the identity of the noble girl in the draft?" ”

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, he stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the status of the king of Jiangdu is noble, and I am going to participate in the draft with a royal noblewoman of equal status, and in terms of identity, it is the most suitable for the fourth princess." ”

"The king of Jiangdu is nineteen years old this year, and the fourth sister is only twelve years old, and the age difference is inevitably too much."

When the words of the Ministry of Rites fell, Lan Xuefeng, the son of the Blue Emperor, stood up against it.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was displeased, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he only said: "But as the king of Jiangdu, other countries will definitely send their own princesses to run for election, and if we let the minister's daughter go to the election, won't we fall behind before we start?" ”

After the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, he was praised by many courtiers.

"Lord Shangshu's words are wrong." Lan Xuefeng said with a smile: "Haven't you forgotten that my father only canonized a princess Spiegel yesterday, and the king of Jiangdu is still staying in the princess's mansion now, don't you think that this princess Spiegel is more suitable than the fourth sister to go to Kyushu to participate in the draft?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Feihong, the commander of the forbidden army, also said: "Your Majesty, when the minister returned home from the palace yesterday, he also saw Yan Bing next to Princess Mingjing and the girl brought by King Jiangdu at the banquet yesterday shopping together, looking at the appearance of talking and laughing, I think that their masters should also get along very happily, so Weichen also supports the opinion of the third prince, Princess Mingjing is more suitable than the fourth princess to participate in the draft of Princess Jiangdu." ”

At this time, the high priest also stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister also supports Princess Spiegel to go to Kyushu to participate in the draft." ”

"Xuechen, what do you think?"

The emperor originally wanted Blue Mirror to participate in the draft, but when he saw the ministers recommending Blue Mirror so one-sidedly, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

The second prince, Lan Xuechen, originally wanted to protect himself, but he was suddenly named by the emperor, and he could only helplessly say, "Back to my father's words, my son thinks that there is no problem in letting Princess Mingjing participate in the draft instead of the fourth sister." ”

Lan Xuefeng thought that Lan Xuechen was going to rebel against him again, and said unhappily: "What, listening to the meaning of the second emperor brother, do you have any other concerns?" ”

Lan Xuechen only said lightly: "Dissatisfied with you, I do have concerns, Princess Mingjing sacrificed to the sky before, although because of that temporary heavy rain, she saved her life, but she inevitably has a grudge against Lan Zhaoguo, and now she wants her to participate in the draft, if she is not given a reasonable explanation and appropriate compensation, even if Princess Mingjing succeeds in the draft, she may not be willing to contribute to my Lan Zhaoguo." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, the king of Jiangdu chose a concubine, and the six countries spent so much effort to choose a noble girl to go to the draft, not just to occupy the identity of a princess of Jiangdu, it is true to use this identity to make profits for his home country, if Lan Jing is really as the second prince said, if he has a grudge against Lan Zhaoguo, then it is better to let others participate in the draft?

The emperor also pondered, there was a foreword by the high priest about the ominous number of blue mirrors, and he definitely supported letting blue mirrors go to make peace, but the second prince Lan Xuechen raised it, this is indeed a problem, if it is not solved, he will not be at ease.

"High Priest." In the end, the emperor still chose his most trusted high priest to solve this problem, "What kind of compensation do you think to give Princess Spiegel to calm the resentment in Princess Spiegel's heart and make her willing to go to Kyushu to participate in the draft for Lan Zhaoguo?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the sacrifice to the sky is the custom of my Lan Zhaoguo for hundreds of years, whoever the mandate of heaven wants, it is who, there is no need to explain and compensate to anyone, if you rashly propose compensation or explanation to Princess Mingjing at this time, she thinks that the previous sacrifice to the sky is out of whose selfishness."

"Then, at your will, you don't have to compensate?" The Emperor sometimes couldn't figure out what the High Priest was thinking.

But I heard the high priest say: "There is no need for open compensation and explanation, but Princess Mingjing went to Kyushu to participate in the draft alone, and both daily life and the results of the draft are inseparable from the upper and lower points, so the minister thinks that it is good to reward some gold and silver property and jewelry for the ladies in the palace in the name of marriage." ”

When the other ministers heard this, they all nodded, "Yes, yes, the draft is inseparable from the upper and lower points, and the most expensive of them is the silver tael, and nothing is as good as the silver tael." ”

The emperor laughed, "It's still my high priest who is reliable, okay, as you said, the treasury will prepare the dowry according to the boudoir where the princess is married, and in addition, in my own name, I will reward Princess Mingjing with 100,000 taels of silver as a fund for the upper and lower points, and immediately announce the decree and set off in ten days." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lan Qingyun, the head of the household department, the high priest, and the three of them received the order together.

The third prince said again: "Father, this draft lady has been decided, how should the candidates for sending relatives be arranged?" ”

"The one who sent the relatives?" The emperor rarely fell into hesitation, and chose Blue Mirror to participate in the draft, for them, it was a very uncertain factor, this person who sent his relatives must be someone he absolutely trusted, all the way to Kyushu, not only to monitor and restrain Blue Mirror at any time, but also to help Blue Mirror when necessary, so that she could succeed in the draft.

Just when the emperor hesitated, the high priest spoke, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to escort Princess Spiegel to Kyushu Kingdom." ”

"High priest?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned and said, "You want to go to Kyushu in person?" ”

Everyone was also stunned, the high priest's status in the Lan Zhao Kingdom was a little more noble than that of an ordinary prince, and he actually took the initiative to ask for help, which made everyone really surprised.

The emperor was also stunned, but then he understood the high priest's thoughts, and it seemed that he was still unwilling to give up the strange life of the blue mirror.

After thinking about it, he also agreed, "It's not impossible for the high priest to send his relatives, it's just that you have to have a general, what do you think about this general?" ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, their eyes were all on the few generals in the court, and even Zhu Feihong, the commander of the forbidden army, never let go.

After a while, Lan Xuechen, the second prince, said: "Enlighten my father, and my son has a recommendation." ”

"Oh, Xuechen, tell me, who do you want to recommend?"

"The little son of Ning Guogong, the commander of the patrol battalion, Jiang Yuning." The second prince said, looking at Ning Guogong, "Everyone saw the interaction between Commander Jiang and Princess Mingjing yesterday, the two of them are cousins and sisters, all the way over, if there is anything, Princess Mingjing can also have something to rely on, and besides, Commander Jiang is young, and his reputation in various countries is not very good, and he just cooperates with the high priest, and it will not let all countries think that my Lan Zhao Kingdom deliberately curries favor with Kyushu." ”

The team of sending relatives has always been particular, the identity and status of the person who sent the relatives, and the princess who was close to the relatives would also be despised and bullied, but if you shoot a person with a very high status to send relatives, it is inevitable to please the suspicion of the Kyushu country, so the second prince will have this remark.

When the emperor heard this, he pondered for a moment, "Ning Guogong, what do you think?" ”

Ning Guogong was suddenly named, and walked to the center of the hall in a panic, "Back to Your Majesty, the dog is young, thanks to His Majesty's trust, he is the commander of the patrol battalion, and now he is sent to Kyushu with the high priest, there is a high priest, but the minister is not worried about the things on the way to send his relatives, but how to deal with the matter of the patrol camp?" ”

"Eh, it's easy."

The emperor touched his beard and said with a smile: "It is said that fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, Aiqing has been sick for more than half a year, and now Jiang Yuning has gone to Kyushu, and the position of the commander of his patrol battalion will be temporarily taken over by you, the father, and I will bother to choose people again, and when he comes back, you will return it." ”

Ning Guogong originally wanted to leave Jiang Yuning with the matter of the patrol battalion, but he didn't want the emperor to directly hand over the patrol battalion to himself, such an arrangement, no matter who it seems, is a gift, and he is not good at making other requests, so he can only receive the order to thank the minister. ”

It takes a lot of effort to implement a matter that is decided in the morning, and ten days of preparation time is not long at all.
