After the Thousand Autumn Festival, the envoys of various countries left Beijing one after another.

After sending away the last group of envoys, Fu Yunshen's work can be regarded as successfully completed.

After only a few days of leisure, Fu Yunshen was promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Zhou Jingrong came to the Fu Mansion together.

In order to show the emperor's grace, the emperor also personally inscribed the plaque of lacquer Wu Ju and Qingyan.

At this time, the business of Qi Wuju and Qingyan is not good, and many people have come here to consume in order to see the royal pen.

Zhou Jingrong was a little surprised, saying that Fu Yunshen's official promotion was too fast, and the department span was too big. Also, the emperor actually rewarded Fu Yunshen so vigorously in order to give her a long face, it's incredible, right?

Fu Yunshen explained that the promotion and reward were all thanks to Zhou Jingrong's blessing.

The emperor originally gave her a blue eye because of the fact that the customs and cartoons produced by Zhou Jingrong greatly promoted the friendly exchanges between the Xia Dynasty and the subjects of other countries, and won the unanimous approval and praise of the envoys, and wanted to give her a reward afterwards.

But during this period, it happened that the little palace maid poisoned Yuhuashuang with the intention of framing Zhou Jingrong.

The emperor knew that this matter had nothing to do with Ling Guifei, but for the sake of face and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he could only suppress the matter for the time being.

Otherwise, once it is found out that the concubine of a country framed the family members of officials because of personal grievances, and used the princess of Lanqiang Kingdom as a raft, where is the prestige of the Xia Dynasty?

The emperor may use other excuses to punish Ling Guifei afterwards, but in this matter, he is destined not to give Zhou Jingrong justice.

Therefore, the emperor crowned Zhou Jingrong and inscribed a plaque as a reward and compensation.

And if you want to give Zhou Jingrong a seal, you naturally have to give Fu Yunshen a promotion.

Zhou Jingrong heard Fu Yunshen say this, her eyes that were as clear as water immediately moved like ripples, and the corners of her eyes were crooked with a smile: "In this way, are you promoted or touched by my light?" ”

Fu Yunshen was as good as a stream, and accepted the complacent attitude of his little wife: "Well, Mrs. Hongfu Qitian, for the husband is the blessing of Mrs. ”

Zhou Jingrong was proud for a while, and then puzzled: "But why did the emperor transfer you around?" Isn't it good to develop steadily within a sector? ”

On the bright side, the emperor let Fu Yunshen experience everywhere, perhaps intentionally. On the downside, I don't work anywhere for a long time, and I can't get in touch with the core content of the department.

The emperor's heart is unfathomable, what the emperor's intentions are, Fu Yunshen can't guess.

It didn't take long for the emperor to punish Ling Guifei for being disrespectful.

not only stripped Ling Guifei's title of concubine, demoted to a concubine, and grounded her in Yuhua Palace, she was not allowed to go out without an edict, but also removed all her palace people, leaving only a few little palace maids who were waiting.

Concubine Ling has always been quite favored, and her family is powerful, how could she have been punished so severely. The former dynasty and the harem were all shocked, and they were all curious about how Ling Concubine was so disrespectful and angered the emperor.

Zhou Jingrong didn't care, pouted and said, "If you don't go to jail and don't pay a fine, what kind of punishment is it!" ”

Fu Yunshen said: "Otherwise, Concubine Ling will be a concubine when she enters the palace, and soon after giving birth to the fifth prince, she will be promoted to a concubine, and she has always been domineering in the palace, and she doesn't even take the queen in her eyes." For her, the demotion not only deprives her of the capital to continue to be proud and domineering, but also loses face even more difficult to accept, which is probably more uncomfortable than losing her life. And she already lives in the deep palace, and if she is grounded again, she will have no freedom at all. After the removal of the palace people, she can no longer exchange news with the outside world, which is tantamount to cutting off her ears and eyes. So for her, such punishment is no different from going to jail. ”

Zhou Jingrong thought about it and agreed: "It's true, mental torture is much more cruel than physical torture. However, Concubine Ling has been favored for many years, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless. ”

Fu Yunshen said: "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. ”

Fu Yunshen is right, in fact, as early as before, there was a case of a palace concubine who had a miscarriage because of the musk hidden in the pillow, although the emperor did not suspect that this incident was done by Concubine Ling, but he also knew that she took advantage of the situation, and used a lot of money to make the palace people who had used Yuhua Frost have allergic symptoms, and shifted their attention to Yuhua Frost, thus blaming Zhou Jingrong.

But this did not cause any harm, and in the eyes of the emperor it was only a small fight, so he turned a blind eye and let her go.

But now that it is the state affairs of the two countries, even if the emperor likes her again, he can't help but think deeply about her motives.

On the surface, Concubine Ling wanted to suppress Qingyan by blaming Zhou Jingrong, which was a business dispute.

But if this matter is successful, if something happens to the foreign envoys, it is Zhou Jingrong who is directly implicated, but Fu Yunshen is indirectly implicated, and the person behind Fu Yunshen is the prince.

Then this matter is not simple, but involves party struggle.

is only for his own dispute, but ignores state affairs, how can the emperor not be angry, and even moved his anger to the five princes and Ling Xie.

As Zhou Jingrong said, this Ling Concubine is really a pig teammate, and the tired Fifth Prince and Ling Xie have suffered from the emperor's suspicion and unjustified disasters again and again.

The weather gradually cooled, and because Beijing was located in the north, it snowed early.

The time of dawn is getting shorter and shorter, and the time of the previous dynasty is also postponed, and the previous daily day is changed to three days.

On this day, the clouds were long, the sky was dark, and it was rare not to get up early, Zhou Jingrong didn't want to leave the bed, so she simply pulled Fu Yunshen to accompany her to bed.

The two of them were sleeping in Zhengxiang, and suddenly heard Yanfeng whispering outside: "Master, are you up?" There are distinguished guests visiting the house, and the old lady invites you to come over. ”

Fu Yunshen didn't say anything, so Zhou Jingrong became impatient at first and muttered: "Who is it, it's really boring to come so early and disturb people's rest." ”

Fu Yunshen looked at Zhou Jingrong's blushing little face and frowned slightly, and smiled lightly. He rolled out of bed and tucked the horns carefully, leaving her with only a little furry head outside.

The more he looked at it, the more happy he felt, and he couldn't help but peck at her pink lips, and coaxed softly: "You sleep a little longer, I'll go and see." ”

Zhou Jingrong replied vaguely, and wanted to continue to meet Zhou Gong.

But after lying down for a while, she felt that it was a little cold without Fu Yunshen's quilt, and she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up and washed.

Xian Ge and Yayi brought hot water in, and after Zhou Jingrong washed, she sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Yayi combed her hair.

Xian Ge stood aside and had nothing to do, so he looked at Zhou Jingrong from the mirror, winked playfully, and gossiped with her: "Madam, guess who is coming?" ”

Zhou Jingrong yawned and glanced at her: "Your wife is not a god, how can you know who is visiting?" Don't sell it, say it! ”

Yayi also glanced at Xian Ge, and Xian Ge grinned: "It's Prince An and Shi Zi Ye, Shi Zi Yushu is in the wind, looks dignified, and is really a good color!" ”

Zhou Jingrong couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Xiange, your cultural level is getting better and better, and the four-character idiom is at your fingertips!" ”

Xian Ge replied proudly and modestly: "Everywhere, it is all taught by Madame." ”

The master and servant praised each other, and Zhou Jingrong said strangely: "Why did they come here?" ”

Xian Ge then gossiped: "The slave maid was also curious, so she walked around the old lady's yard, and heard the sisters who served in front of me leak out the words, King An brought the prince to the door this time, in order to ask the cousin!" ”

Although Zhou Jingrong was a little surprised, she thought that Lin Shutong's marriage was decided by the Queen Mother, although it was a high marriage, but she thought that this marriage would be good.

She nodded, "That's a good thing!" ”

Xian Ge nodded, shook his head again, and wondered: "The slave and maid also think so, but the old lady and aunt don't seem to agree with this marriage." I heard that my aunt and grandmother even threw up their sleeves and left, not caring about King An's face at all! ”

Zhou Jingrong just wanted to say that Fu Jiao's arrogant temperament and unbeatable temper were only a handful of people who could take care of it, but suddenly remembered something.

Fu Jiao's former lover in Beijing was not King An? !

Wang An has a big heart and feels that the past is like a cloud, so it's okay to marry his children, or does he feel that he has no chance with Fu Jiao, so he transferred this feeling to the next generation?

What's going on, don't you feel awkward? Zhou Jingrong felt embarrassed when she thought about it, no wonder Mrs. Fu disagreed.

When Fu Yunshen came back, Zhou Jingrong hurriedly asked about the matter: "I heard that King An's visit is to propose marriage for the son, can grandmother agree?" ”

Fu Yunshen smiled helplessly and replied: "Before King An and the prince arrived at the Fu Mansion, they didn't know that the place they were coming to was the Fu Mansion. ”

Zhou Jingrong didn't react: "Huh? ”

Fu Yunshen felt that this matter was a little funny: "The prince has a favorite woman, and he came to ask for marriage, and when he arrived at the door, he knew that it was a girl from the Fu Mansion." ”

Zhou Jingrong was surprised: "In other words, the prince and Tong Niang have known each other before, and they don't know each other's identities?" When? ”

Fu Yunshen shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Zhou Jingrong asked again: "What did grandmother say?" ”

Fu Yunshen said: "The prince really wants to marry Tong Niang, although he learned that Tong Niang is the daughter of his aunt who almost became his stepmother, he is still determined not to change. After all, the other party is the palace, although the grandmother has the heart to refuse, but she did not say it to death, only said that the marriage of the children should also depend on her heart, and she needs to ask Tong Niang's opinion before replying. ”

Seeing Zhou Jingrong staring at a pair of eyes full of curiosity and eagerness, Fu Yunshen continued: "Grandmother called me over, just to receive King An and the prince, and I didn't say anything else. As for what Tong Niang thinks, I haven't seen her yet, and I don't know how she is with the world. ”

Zhou Jingrong couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that Lin Shutong and Prince An met by chance, secretly fell in love, and revealed their address to him.

Wang An came to the door to ask for marriage, but unexpectedly, this favorite girl was the daughter of his father's old lover, which was really embarrassing.

I don't know how King An feels, anyway, Fu Jiao was framed at the beginning, lost her innocence and good marriage, and was forced by the situation to marry someone she didn't love, and she had an unsatisfactory life for half of her life, and she was finally uneasy, so she would strongly oppose this marriage.

Lin Shutong didn't know why, I don't know if she would resist Fu Jiao's oppression, but she would definitely be sad.

This is really a sadistic drama.
