Xiao Fuzi retreated worriedly, he had an instinct at this time, and asked the little eunuch when he went out: "Can the Jiang guards be on duty today?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the Jiang guards are not on duty today, she is resting." The little eunuch said respectfully.

Xiaofuzi didn't give up: "Don't you remember wrong? It's better to go for a run, to see if Guard Jiang is there, and be sure to invite her over. ”

The little eunuch looked aggrieved: "Father-in-law, the little one has already asked for the Jiang guard's errand watch, and the Jiang guard is resting today, and he is definitely not in the palace." ”

Xiao Fuzi's face suddenly turned pale, "That's over, it's over, it's dead," after a pause, he couldn't help but stomp his feet: "I just hope that those people inside can do it lightly, and there are no ones who can extinguish the fire today!" ”

As if to verify Xiao Fuzi's words, suddenly, there was a sound from inside, and Xiao Fuzi's heart trembled, what did these ancestors say, Your Majesty began to drop the teacup?

The little eunuch glanced at Xiao Fuzi with a shrunken face: "Father-in-law, you, don't you go in and persuade you?" ”

Xiao Fuzi looked at him expressionlessly: "What are you doing in there?" Do you think everyone is a Jiang guard? "Humph, idiot! At this time, what can you do if you go in but be angry?

Xiao Fuzi said this, but he still came to the door, and only then did he hear a sound inside, which should be the sound of several people kneeling on the ground.

Then there were several voices in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Xiao Fuzi immediately retreated and beckoned the little eunuch: "Hurry up and go to the Jiang guards, just say something big!" Be sure to let her go to the palace! ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly turned around and ran out.

The little eunuch went directly to Jiang Qingyue's house, but Jiang Qingyue was not at home, so he went to the next door again, but Lin Zheyuan's family was not there.

At this time, Jiang Qingyue was in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, it turned out that the house of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau had been returned to Chen Xiu'er, this house had a tragedy, many people died, and no one was willing to take over, Jiang Qingyue was worried that the guests would not want to come to the door, and also suggested that Lin Zheyuan asked them to change places.

However, this proposal was rejected by Lin Zheyuan and Chen Xiu'er, this is the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, it is their home, and the dead are their relatives, they believe that even if the master and brothers die, they will bless them.

Jiang Qingyue didn't persuade again, but later Shen Yanniang thought of a way to invite a respected monk to come over, and the teacher moved everyone to do a supernatural ritual and reassure the guests.

Today is the day to do things, so Jiang Qingyue and Lin Zheyuan's family are in Weiyuan Dart Bureau.

The senior monk was invited by Shen Yanniang, she is a person in the rivers and lakes, and she has some ways.

Jiang Qingyue didn't care much about this, and watched coldly as the invited master and his disciples recited Buddhist scriptures, originally she didn't take it seriously, but after listening to it, her heart gradually settled down.

After a ritual was done, Lin Zheyuan brought tea to the master to drink, the master put the teacup, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Jiang Qingyue's body.

The master pinched his fingers, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Qingyue carefully several times.

Shen Yanniang asked vigilantly, "Master, but what's wrong?" ”

The master shook his head, recited the Buddha's name, and then said, "Time is also fate." ”

"Master, can you be more detailed?" Shen Yanniang hurriedly asked.

The master glanced at Jiang Qingyue's appearance carefully, and then said: "She should have been a rich and noble character, but she was destined to be a lone star, even if her parents are alive, she can't bear the joy of her knees, and she has been displaced since she was a child, but after eighteen years, there will be an opportunity, and from then on, the phoenix dances for nine days, which is indescribably expensive." ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were all right, what this monk said was right, if she married Zhou Rui'an, wouldn't it be unspeakably expensive?

But this monk can really pinch and calculate, see her life, or do you have no intentions and bad intentions? Jiang Qingyue didn't believe that things were really so coincidental.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the monk deeply, the monk's eyes were calm and his expression showed a kind color, as if he had not noticed her hostility, Jiang Qingyue gradually let go of the doubts in his heart.

The monk smiled slightly, and his originally kind expression was a little smiling: "However, there are many twists and turns in the process of this matter, the worst is death, and the light will also affect the people around him, and the donor has to do it himself!" After speaking, the monk recited again: "Amitabha! ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't think there was anything, but Shen Yanniang was anxious, and asked the monk if there was a way to crack it, but the monk shook his head and was silent, forcing him to be ruthless, so he began to recite the Buddha's name, but he refused to speak again.

The little eunuch was found at this time, and he ran to Jiang Qingyue in a panic: "Guard Jiang, hurry, hurry up and let the servants enter the palace!" Something big happened in the palace! ”

Jiang Qingyue's face was expressionless, and he was very unimpressed: "Xiaofuzi called you here again?" ”

The little eunuch nodded again and again: "Guard Jiang, let's go with the minions!" No matter how late it is, something big will happen! ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't bear it: "He called me seven times this month!" Back to the back said that something big was going to happen! And the end?! ”

"This time is different, ouch, Guard Jiang, you can come with me!" The little eunuch said anxiously.

Before Jiang Qingyue could speak, Shen Yanniang on the side said: "Qingyue, you just go, just do a good deed that day, just now the master said, you still have a period of calamity, you can do more good things!" ”

Jiang Qingyue: "??? ”

Jiang Qingyue followed Zhou Rui'an into the palace, and outside the imperial study, he met Guan Youwei and Zhang Qi and others who came out.

The faces of several people were a little unsightly, Jiang Qingyue raised his eyebrows and looked at Guan Youwei: "Master Guan, you are taking the lead in stirring up trouble again?" ”

Guan Youwei's face turned dark, what does it mean that he took the lead?

"You came just in time, just to persuade the emperor, it is a matter of the emperor's bloodline, but you can't be sloppy, if it spreads, it will be a loss to Your Majesty's reputation!" Guan Youwei lowered his voice and said, "Now it's only your words, Your Majesty can still listen to some of them!" ”

Jiang Qingyue's face changed when she heard the 'Bloodline of the First Emperor', and suddenly, she felt a smile falling on her body, she looked up, and Zhang Qi just turned her gaze away.

Zhang Qi said to King He'an: "Lord Wang, the junior will send you out." ”

King He'an sighed and nodded.

Jiang Qingyue walked into the imperial study and saw Zhou Ruian sitting in the chair with a calm face, his expression was almost dripping ink.

Jiang Qingyue walked to his side, and Zhou Ruian gently held her hand.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "You all look up, how do you know it's me?" ”

"I thought, Xiaofuzi should also come to you." Zhou Ruian said lightly.

Jiang Qingyue smiled lightly and clasped his ten fingers, "They are here for Princess Ningyang's business, right?" ”

Zhou Rui'an's brows immediately furrowed, and his sharp eyes looked at her: "I will deal with this matter, don't interfere!" ”

After speaking, as if thinking of some bad memories, his brows furrowed tightly.

"You deal with it? What are you going to do? Guan Youwei and King An have both contributed to your ascension to the throne, Guan Youwei is the head of the capable ministers, and King Hean is the head of the clan, not to mention Zhang Qi, who has always been by your side for your efficiency and loyalty to you, how can you refute these three people at the same time? Even if you really do it, I'm afraid it will also make the Manchu civil and military people feel cold. Jiang Qingyue said.

Zhou Ruian didn't speak, but a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

This is the helplessness of being an emperor, he has too many things to worry about, and too many things to bear.

"So what? I am the Emperor! Forced to have no way out by a few ministers, I don't want to do it as an emperor! Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice.

"If you don't do it, who can do it?" Jiang Qingyue sighed and said, "What's more, I don't want you to become a rebellious and detached prince because of me." ”

"Do you know that Zhang Qi thinks that your blood is the key to unlocking 'Jun Mochou', but Guan Youwei doesn't know where he heard the news, and he also came over with King An, saying that he wanted to find the blood of the emperor!" Zhou Ruian said hatefully.

It's been a long time since he's experienced the feeling of being persecuted, but today these three people did it, and they were the ones he always thought he was in control.

Finally, Jiang Qingyue was willing to agree to marry him, and everything was arranged on Luobei's side, just waiting for it to be ready, and he would start the draft after the New Year to marry her.

It's just a little bit, at this time, Zhang Qi ran out to stir up the situation, one Zhang Qi is not enough, Guan Youwei and King An also joined in the fun, isn't this sincerely blocking him? !

Can Zhou Ruian not be angry? And one by one, I can't beat them, I can't scold them, and I keep saying that it's for his good!

Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

Zhou Ruian couldn't help but call: "Qingyue? She quickly came back to her senses, and then he asked, "What were you thinking?" ”

Jiang Qingyue frowned slightly: "I just think that these things seem a little strange, and they are too coincidental, when Zhang Qi came to look for you, he ran into Master Guan, and how could Zhang Qi suddenly know that the key to 'Jun Mochou' is in blood?" This matter was also studied by so many doctors for several years, how could he know? ”

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, Zhou Rui'an's expression also changed, and he frowned.

"I'm all confused, when you say that, it's really a little suspicious, Zhang Qi has been with me for so long, there will be no dissent." Zhou Ruian furrowed his brows and said.

Jiang Qingyue shook his head, he was actually conceited in the end, he had always trusted his own people, and believed in the principle of 'no need to suspect people, no suspicion in employing people', so he had never sent anyone to monitor or investigate his subordinates, especially these people had followed him from before.

Zhou Rui'an's picky eye has always been very picky and accurate, and the people who can follow him are all outstanding and loyal, and the only variable for so many years is probably Liu Fu.

Zhou Rui'an's brows sank, and he said, "I'll let Liu Min check it later." ”

Jiang Qingyue said: "It's better not to, after all, it's the person who followed you before......"

"No, it has to be checked." Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice: "Since I have already had doubts, I have to make it clear, I can't wronged him, but I won't give him the opportunity to betray me, otherwise ......"

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Qingyue knew that he had made up his mind, so he didn't persuade him anymore, so he had to nod.

Zhou Ruian quickly instructed Liu Min to investigate Zhang Qi, Liu Min was still a little surprised, he and Liu Min also had two friendships, after all, they were both Zhou Rui'an's subordinates, could it be that Zhang Qi betrayed Zhou Rui'an?

Liu Min didn't dare to slack off, and went to start the investigation after he got down.

Zhou Ruian did not dwell on Liu Min's investigation results, Zhang Qi's words gave Zhou Ruian a sense of crisis, he felt that he could not continue to drag it out, he wanted to draft it immediately, and let Jiang Qingyue enter the palace as the queen! When everything settles, even if Jiang Qingyue's identity is revealed, he will not be afraid.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ruian immediately called the officials of the Ministry of Rites to come over, saying that there were a lot of things this year, and there were a lot of scandals in the royal family, so he decided to rush to the happy event before the end of the year, and he decided to draft the draft!

When the Ministry of Rites heard this, his hair turned gray, originally the Ministry of Rites was not an important department among the six departments, and it would only be busy during the New Year's Festival, but he didn't expect Zhou Ruian to choose to say that he was going to draft when they were the busiest!

It's not the right time! But what can the Ministry of Rites do? Say they're too busy to do it? Don't make a fuss, okay? At the beginning, they begged Zhou Rui to choose a concubine after the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces played one after another, if he refused, he would have to be scolded to death by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military when he went out!

Helplessly, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to respond, and after he went back, he began to draw people and prepare for the draft girl.

Fortunately, Zhou Ruian did not plan to make a big show this time, everything was simple, and only selected unmarried daughters from the officials above the fourth rank and below the second rank in the capital.

Yes, Zhou Ruian still has conditions, the daughters of ministers above the second rank don't want it, as soon as the news was released, the entire capital exploded, and those ministers from famous families felt the deep malice from the emperor.

If they can't enter the palace and can't give birth to a prince, they can't be relatives, so what's so rare about first-class officials?

For a while, all the bigwigs above the second grade quarreled with Zhou Rui'an every day, and even the ministers who had school-age women in their families even wrote a book, asking Zhou Rui'an to give him generals!

Zhou Rui'an couldn't laugh or cry, but he also had his own reasons: "After the abolition, she was born in a noble family, but she raised a mind that she shouldn't have, this is a lesson from the past, I really don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, I just want to find a virtuous and virtuous woman, and I will spend my life with Bai Shou, and open up branches and leaves for the royal family, which is my blessing and the blessing of Dajing!" ”

What can the ministers do? Zhou Rui'an's reason is impeccable! None of them thought that Zhou Ruian would play such a hand, and they only blamed their official position for being too big!

Soon, all the show girls who meet the requirements will be selected into the palace.

Du Wentao is an inconspicuous person in charge of the household department, just now he is a five-grade official, he has nothing special, but from a long time ago, he received a favor from Zhou Rui'an, and since then he has become Zhou Rui'an's person, and later Zhou Rui'an also made a lot of efforts when he was handling the corruption case at the border gate.

Later, after Zhou Rui'an ascended the throne, he rewarded all his subordinates, but Du Du did not reward Du Wentao, Du Wentao was strange for a while, because Zhou Ruian has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, and he was not rewarded, could it be that his errand was not done well?

Just when Du Wentao was nervous, Luo Bei came to the door and introduced him to a daughter.

Du Wentao's hometown is in the northwest, the road is far away, he just gave birth to a daughter when he entered Beijing as an official, he thought that the child was too young to travel long distances, so he stayed in his hometown to accompany his parents, so many years have passed, Du Wentao also wants to take the child over, but the child's grandparents are reluctant, he and his wife have another child, and gradually let go of the matter, the child is raised in his hometown.

This time Luobei asked his 'daughter' to return to Beijing, Luobei said that this was the emperor's intention, Du Wentao didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed.

It wasn't until later that Zhou Rui'an ordered the draft, as long as there were school-age women in the families of officials above the fifth grade and below the second grade, Du Wentao understood Zhou Rui'an's intentions, and he didn't give him a reward just for this day!

Du Wentao is a smart person, and probably knows that this girl's background is not very good, so Zhou Ruian took great pains to arrange a family background for her, judging from Zhou Rui'an's intentions for this girl, this girl will be unspeakably expensive in the future, and he is a ready-made father-in-law.

Maybe there will be a greater creation in the Du family in the future?

Therefore, Du Wentao has been walking with the wind in the past few days, as if he can see his future days with infinite scenery.

When Luobei took Jiang Qingyue to see Du Wentao, Du Wentao was extremely polite, and he didn't know who his father was.

"Girl, I've already prepared all the rooms, and I don't know if you like it or not, you go over and see if there's anything you need to add, and then follow me...... Tell Madame again! Du Wentao said very enthusiastically.

Mrs. Du next to her also looked at Jiang Qingyue with a loving face.

Luo Bei gave Du Wentao an approving look, this is a smart one, but ......, "Lao Du, it's okay, just stay with you for a few days, anyway, it will be the day of the draft soon, and it won't bother you." ”

Du Wentao laughed twice: "Look at what you said, the emperor can use me, that's my honor!" Why should I be troubled? ”

"It's still bothering Lord Du and Mrs. Du!" Jiang Qingyue said politely.

Mrs. Du waved her hand again and again and said: "The girl is polite, really polite, when I see the girl, I also think of my daughter, and it is also a comfort in my heart to see the girl get married." ”

Jiang Qingyue looked at her gently, but in her heart she thought that she had taken her daughter's place, but she still had to take care of herself with a smile, and she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Zhou Ruian was worried about long nights and dreams, and this draft was even more vigorous and resolute, and after all the eligible officials reported the list, Zhou Ruian began to give things to the Du family one after another.

It's not a lot of valuable items, but it is that the fruit was sent today, and a copy was sent to the Du family, or the imperial meal in the palace, Zhou Ruian ate well, and sent another one to the Du family.

In the past, the Du family was inconspicuous, and there was nothing special, but suddenly it entered Zhou Rui'an's eyes, and all the ministers were very strange, but after checking, they understood that this time the Du family had a girl to be sent to the palace!

Everyone suddenly realized that before the draft, Zhou Ruian was building momentum for this girl from the Du family! Zhou Ruian first expressed his attitude of looking at her differently, when the time comes to the draft, who will dare not choose her if she is not long-sighted?

Especially when he was in the court, Zhou Ruian also praised Du Wentao by name several times, and fully expressed his satisfaction with this Du family girl.

Who still says it's good to have a son? Look at someone who gave birth to a good daughter, this is a person who has ascended to heaven!

The Manchu ministers are jealous, but what can they do?

On this day, Zhou Ruian sent something to the Du family again, this time it was cloth, it was said that it was a tribute just sent by Jiangnan, as soon as the Internal Affairs Office received it, Zhou Ruian sent a message to the Du family girl to send it over, and also sent a copy to the Du family's wife, which can be described as extremely intimate.

It is right for a son-in-law to please his mother-in-law, but which emperor has he ever seen to please his mother-in-law? It doesn't exist at all, okay! Zhou Rui'an's behavior not only shows his satisfaction with this girl, but also the importance he attaches to her.

Many people have asked this Miss Du, what is so special about it, can make Zhou Ruian fascinated?

Later, after inquiring, I learned that this girl was raised in her hometown since she was a child, and she grew up next to her grandfather and grandmother, and she had just been accepted into the capital when she reached the marriageable age, and she didn't know how she got into Zhou Rui'an's eyes!

Now many people are talking about it, and the position of this queen is probably this Miss Du.

Zhou Ruian is different from other emperors, many emperors need to face one thing, that is, the court wants to maintain a balance between the important ministers in the court, or needs the support of a certain important minister, in this case, they will use concubines to get closer.

For example, Emperor Xuande would marry the abolition queen in order to get the support of the Dingguo Mansion.

But Zhou Ruian doesn't need it, he is completely on his own, and now many ministers in the court have offended Zhou Ruian before, and it would be good if Zhou Ruian didn't pursue them, and there was no need to win them over at all.

Therefore, Zhou Ruian has the confidence to directly say that he does not want the daughter of the noble, so he also has a great choice and right to speak about the queen's candidate.

Now Du Wentao's value is also rising because of the approaching draft date, he is a proper father-in-law of the emperor!

But just three days before the draft day, Chen Baobao went to Dali Temple and beat the drum to say that he had something important to report to Guan Youwei.

Guan Youwei is still a little strange, what can Chen Baobao do to him? When Chen Baobao saw Guan Youwei, she bluntly said that she had clues about the real Princess Ningyang, and she only discovered this secret after she eavesdropped on the conversation of the abolished queen when she was in the palace.

The people of the capital were boiling, they didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to the real and false princess! Judging from this situation, it seems that we can continue to see the New Year.

So who is the real Princess Ningyang?

Chen Baobao was invited into the inner hall to speak, Chen Baobao hesitated for a moment before saying the name: "This person is none other than Jiang Qingyue!" ”
