The Coming of the Old Man (III) (Part II)

Concubine Liu also breathed a sigh of relief, the queen mother still loves her, and would rather lose Mama Qiu beside her to convict, did not ignore her, and listened to Yiyi just said lightly: "Since this is the case, Concubine Liu is too brainless, and was deceived by a subordinate to do something wrong." From today on, stay in your own room and think about how to do things. ”

Something so big happened that he almost blackened the woman he liked in his heart, just giving her a grounding, Concubine Liu was a little surprised. Concubine Yan glanced at the prince meaningfully, and said lightly: "Now Ling'er is also sensible, if Concubine Liu is grounded, I'm afraid that Ling'er will be sad." ”

Ling'er is the daughter of Concubine Liu, the most smart and lovely of Yiyi's children, and Yiyi also likes her a little. Yiyi glanced at Concubine Yan: "Ling'er is not small, it's time to find a master, from now on, move Ling'er to your yard, and together with a few other children, follow the master to learn some poetry and etiquette, so as not to be wasted." ”

Concubine Liu clenched her fists tightly, not daring to say half a point, In this prince's mansion, the most annoying thing is Concubine Yan, who has actually taken her child now, but now it is most important to survive and stay in the mansion. Thinking about it, she may have really made a mistake, she should let the prince read that Zhou Wanning, and it will definitely make Concubine Yan deflated. She was just thinking about it here, not noticing that the prince had already left with Xinjie and his wife. It is said that when we go to the lake together, we don't want to be bothered by these worries anymore.

Concubine Yan stood aside and looked at Concubine Liu quietly for a while, with no expression on her face. She felt a little bored at this time, Concubine Liu was the one who had been competing with her for the longest time in the mansion, Yiyi in order to balance and restrain this prince's mansion was almost all wet with rain and dew, and Huang Chengbiao was right, the rain and dew were not abundant. It's just that a woman with rain and dew can live a nourishing life in this house, even if she herself is bearing the back of others, it also gives her the opportunity to become the most powerful woman in this house. She also hated that back, but if she combined to bring down that back, maybe she would be useless, just like the other women in the harem who were as humble as dust. Concubine Liu can play the role of a weighing stone in the mansion because she is a vassal of the queen's family, even if the prince no longer trusts her, he will not abandon his mother's family. If she wants to continue the scenery in this mansion, she must make that back more brilliant, she coldly listened to the ignorant woman muttering some curses out of tune, and indifferently turned back to her dwelling to get something.

The Prince, after so many years of real growth, after the changes just now, he quickly changed the state of the previous person, so that he still seemed honest and enthusiastic, but in the smile and sly eyes, revealed a deep imprint of time and experience and some shadows of previous events.

In order to hide the impact of the incident just now, as if that incident really had nothing to do with his mother, the current queen, it was just a subordinate who wanted to take revenge on the Tang family, it seemed that it was a piece of paper, and when he gently peeled it off, even the servants and guards who were waiting close at the prince's mansion had to admire the speed of the prince's transformation. I only heard the prince tease Xinjie Jinwu Zangjiao as he walked, and said: "You kid should treat her well, although my younger brother and sister were ordered by the queen to take care of me, and I was often so angry by my stupidity that I didn't want to see me, but after all, it saved my life, and I was deeply loved by the queen mother, if you bullied her, the queen mother's old man spoke, you will be miserable." "Not a word about their relationship back then. She was so grateful to the prince for saying this, and it took over smoothly. What kind of person is Xinjie, of course, the wind is light. And Zhou Wanning knew that her husband would still have doubts in her heart, but from the eyes that exchanged with each other, she knew that what her husband was suspicious of at the moment was not her, not her past, nor the various remarks in the Huang Chengbiao incident just now, but...

When Zhou Wanning left Beijing that year, Yiyi was not yet the prince, nor had he built a mansion outside the palace. After the unhappiness in front, the prince took a group to sit down in Renxiao Hall, and several women from the prince's mansion came to wait again. Except for Concubine Yan, the rest of the people and this couple have no intersections with each other, although Concubine Yan is eager in her eyes and words, the rest are very plain, she just glanced at Zhou Wanning lightly. I have to say that this woman has experienced life and death, and walked back from the palace and outside the palace, more calm than back then, and more bright than when she was young.

Although Zhou Wanning and Concubine Yan are old acquaintances in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to like these two getting too close, but this is from the previous sentence when the prince introduced Concubine Yan when they entered the mansion, this was the little palace maid who was in charge of tea in the imperial grandmother's palace, and it can be regarded as a little palace maid who has seen and admired the demeanor of Zhou female officials back then. One sentence divided the status of the little palace maid and the female official back then, and also stabbed Concubine Yan in the heart. In the eyes of men, the woman named Zhou Wanning has a valuable status.

Despite this, Concubine Yan still smiled sweetly: "Back then, the concubines really regarded Sister Wanning as a celestial, which we ordinary people couldn't catch up with in our lifetime. ”

Concubine Liu next to her was disgusted with Concubine Yan in her heart, pretending! Who doesn't know that Concubine Yan has been around the Queen Mother for many years, and has been with the prince for many years, trampling them to death when they later entered the prince's mansion. Today, the darling of the Queen Mother really appeared, and she will be put on a score in front of everyone in the future. But to save face, anyone will, she hurriedly smiled and said: "That is, how powerful is the Queen Mother's eyes, her old man sent Female Official Zhou to take care of His Royal Highness, which was naturally carefully selected." Wan Ning didn't speak, just smiled and watched the battle between the warblers and the swallows.

didn't get the expected response, whether it was Concubine Yan or Concubine Chen, the others felt that their faces were gloomy. However, it can't be manifested yet. Concubine Yan continued to gently take the maids to pour tea for everyone, and from time to time spread one or two snacks or dried fruits on a small plate in front of people. Concubine Chen didn't want to fall behind, so she asked people to come up with a bunch of delicate snacks, saying that she had specially prepared them for your guests in the morning. This group of women was chattering, and their faces seemed to have the honor of accompanying the prince to the banquet today, but they did not have any shadow brought about by the grounding incident of Concubine Liu just now.

Wanning drank tea leisurely, watched the women do all kinds of things, and listened to her husband and the prince talk about some military horses. Military horses are added to the army in large quantities from Kansai every year. Karamon has large horse farms in Kansai and Gannan to raise and train horses. In Hanzhong and Xishu, there are special horse harness and armory workshops, and Hanzhong and Gyeonggi Province have workshops that provide uniforms for the army under the Ping'an Warehouse belonging to Tangmen, and these clothing workshops have purchased a large number of fabrics and various fabrics from Baihuatang over the years, which can be regarded as an opportunity for the women taken in by Baihuatang to make a living. Thinking about it, it is normal for the Lan family to be jealous of the Tang family. All of these involve the power of the imperial court. There may be various factions in the army, which command the military power in different regions, but the military horses and weapons, the Tang Gate is the only one that has the permission of the imperial court to distribute the military horses and weapons in addition to the imperial court.

In addition to the need for the children of the Tang family to have horses and weapons, it was also because of the previous dynasty, there were children of the Tang family who served in the imperial army, and the imperial court was not financially rich enough to ensure the basic food and clothing of these children in the army, so the ancestors of the Tang family had to send their own things to the army to help. As a result, a scale has gradually formed.

Later, the world was in turmoil, and the Tang family took protecting the people of the world as the first priority, used their own materials to equip the Tang army, protected the ordinary villagers within the Tang Sect's sphere of influence, and did not participate in the disputes of various factions, but used the weight in their hands to bring peace to the world as soon as possible, and to ensure the safety of the people and the rising dynasty. No matter who is the emperor, the Tang Men do not participate in the struggle for the throne and the like, and the overall situation is set, and the Tang Men will help the imperial court to stabilize the people and stabilize the overall situation as quickly as possible. Therefore, the dynasty changed, but the Tang Gate stood tall.

But in every dynasty, there are people like the Lan family who compete for power and profit and are suspicious of the Tang family. Therefore, the Tang family had to seek a high position in the established court in order to better protect the Tang family from these selfish groups.

Now that Yiyi's position has not been decided, the queen mother has already released this signal, and at this time, Yiyi came to talk to Xinjie about this, naturally because he didn't want to arouse Tangmen's disgust with him at this time. Today, Huang Chengbiao's words may have really touched Yiyi, whether it is Yiyi or Yifeng, they are both the grandsons of the Queen Mother, For the Tang Sect, it makes no difference whether to support the three princes or the six princes. And the purpose of the Tang Sect is not to harm the people because of the disputes between their princes. Therefore, the overall position of Tangmen is that it will not care whether it is Yiyi or Yifeng.

Wan Ning looked at Yiyi and thought deeply, could it be that this prince now wants to further bind with Xinjie? Talking about so many military horse matters, we should increase the horse farm in Gyeonggi, let Xinjie bring these back to the Tang family, and help Xinjie consolidate his position in the Tang family? Wan Ning sighed slightly in her heart, Yiyi has grown up and become sophisticated over the years, but his thinking is also limited and worldly. Xinjie didn't want these things at all, but sincerely felt that he would be a good monarch for the benefit of the people. For Xinjie, he didn't care about the interests of the Tang Gate, otherwise he would go back to Yumen directly. But Yiyi has fallen into a mode of thinking that there is no interest binding, but is not at ease.

Xinjie glanced at his beloved wife during the conversation with Yiyi, and from her eyes and the impatient expression of raising his eyebrows, he knew that his wife understood him. But if you don't accept Yiyi, I'm afraid that this prince will have to be careful.

The husband and wife already understood each other's thoughts in their eyes, and Xinjie smiled slyly at Yiyi: "Your Highness, calling you Your Highness is from the prince." There is no problem with the addition of a new Qianmai battalion in Gyeonggi Province, 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the new horse farm. I call you a cousin, but from a brotherly point of view, I hope you can do your brother and sister a favor. ”
