CHAPTER XLII
There was no result in the court for a few days, and King Ning pushed the Hubu Shangshu out to apologize for his own protection.
However, although the household department is under the management of the left servant of Lord Zhou, the ancestor of King Ning, the actual controller is not the household department Shangshu, but the subordinate household servant, who is Jiang Xufeng's person.
Where can a household secretary let the prince and his faction let go gently, and still bite King Ning tightly.
The Rong Guifei in the palace was not idle, and she went to Taichen Palace every day to deliver pastries. When he saw Emperor Kant, he began to cry, and he didn't intercede for King Ning, so he recalled the past with Emperor Kant.
Concubine Rong looked at Emperor Kande's eyes with a mist in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Lang'er is the child you have seen since childhood, you know best what his temperament is......"
"Do you remember when he first learned to walk, he was obviously still unsteady and staggering, but he still had to come to see you, and the concubine couldn't persuade him." Rong Guifei's tears crackled as she spoke, and she didn't cry, she just cried silently.
"Your Majesty, Lang'er is full of admiration for you. In the matter of the previous dynasty, the concubines did not dare to say much, if Lang'er really did something wrong, please ask the emperor to keep Lang'er alive. ”
Emperor Kangde was already half soft-hearted, and Concubine Rong couldn't sit still anymore when she cried like this, stood up, and hugged Concubine Rong: "What are you talking about, Lang'er is my child and the prince of Dayong." The matter has not been clarified yet, so don't think about it and beware of hurting your body. ”
The next day, Emperor Kant had the intention of relenting.
The prince's lungs are about to explode, not to mention whether it involves party disputes. The sale of illicit salt has touched the country's capital, and the southwest is rampant in the southwest, and Dayong has to have countless troops and manpower to smash it into it every year to ensure the stability of the border. And the amount of gold and silver obtained from the sale of illicit salt is huge, all for King Ning's own selfishness, such a serious crime, Emperor Kant only wanted to lightly expose it.
Lord Song personally went down, quoted scriptures, and left Emperor Kant speechless.
King Ning's eyes almost pierced Lord Song, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao stabbed him again.
The Lord Xiao, who followed him to Jiangnan to investigate the assassination case, directly took out the evidence that the killer was a guest of King Ning's Mansion, and the court was in an uproar.
Even the officials who occupy neutrality are not good enough to say a word, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and everyone is watching.
Emperor Kant blocked his chest in one breath, and before the matter was clarified, King Ning was deprived of the rights of the court and confined to the palace.
After dispersing, King Ning finally ran out of energy to routinely taunt Jiang Xufeng, and walked anxiously towards his grandfather and father-in-law.
Jiang Xufeng caught up with Lord Xiao in a few steps: "Lord Xiao, I heard that Lord Xiao is quite accomplished in painting skills. Gu Xin got a landscape map, I don't know if it's a genuine handiwork, can I ask Lord Xiao to appreciate it? ”
Lord Xiao hurriedly gave up his hand, and his face was a little more embarrassed: "Your Highness is gracious, but the minister agreed to bring flower cakes to Neiko this morning...... If it's too late, I'm afraid it won't be there. ”
Jiang Xufeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is an important matter, and I won't leave Master Xiao alone." ”
Jiang Xufeng looked at Lord Xiao's hurried back, and scolded with a smile: "The fox of the family." ”
Xiao Shi is indeed like this, he never participates in the prince's party struggle, and does not accept the olive branch given by either party. At the beginning, Mrs. Song also promised the queen that she took away the lord of Rong'an.
In the mansion of the eldest princess of Guangping, King Ning was grounded, and where did the eldest princess of Guangping still sit. was about to enter the palace immediately, but was stopped by the horse.
The eldest princess of Guangping had gloomy eyes, feeling that she had been tricked by the Xiao family. She rolled her eyes and instructed the maidservant beside her: "Go and call the second young lady." ”
The lord of Rong'an married into the princess's mansion, and the family provided for her, and it was time for her to contribute.
Wen Jing listened to the stewards everywhere talk about some arrangements in the house, which is about to enter autumn, and all parts of the house must prepare things for the winter in advance.
Wen Jing gently flipped through a page of the book, and clicked with his fingertips: "Everything else remains the same, but this is the first winter day since I entered the mansion, and it will come out of my private account, from the first-class steward to the chores below, and add an extra set of cotton clothes than in previous years." ”
Mama Liu, who was in charge of the backyard regulations, smiled: "The princess is kind-hearted, those who do chores do a lot of things every day, and they stain their clothes, where do they deserve such a reward as the princess?" ”
Lan Yuan took a step forward, with a serious and cold expression: "Mama Liu, whatever the crown princess commands, you will do." If you can't do it, there will be people who can. ”
Mama Liu looked sneering: "This ...... Slaves...... The crown princess has a good temperament and is sympathetic to the people below. Only at the beginning of this year, I am afraid that there will be complaints in the coming year. ”
Wen Jing glanced at her, and the book turned another page: "Mama Liu, you have been in charge of the backyard in the past few months, and you have been doing a good job." But the slaves and maids in this mansion, whether they are from the inner chamberlain province or those who have signed a living contract in the outer court, even the prince's mansion has no reason to treat their subordinates harshly. ”
"I won't pursue what happened before, and I'll follow the rules from this year onwards. What are the accounts of the Prince's Mansion, I, as the crown princess, still know very well, do you say it is Mama Liu? ”
Mama Liu's cold sweat came down, her face turned white, and she said yes again and again.
There are people with heads and faces in the capital, and the people who do chores are two sets of cotton clothes. Even if Jiang is a searcher, there is no reason to squeeze it like this.
Before Wen Jing was in charge of internal affairs, Mama Fang had always been like this, and half of the money she embezzled from it went into her own pocket and half was given to Song Liangdi.
After Mama Liu took over, she was still happy in her heart, thinking that as long as things were done well on weekdays and there were no mistakes on the surface, the princess would not pay attention to these little things, so she dared to stop her just now.
Wen Jing will not be accustomed to the stinky problems of these stewards, the huge mansion of the prince's mansion, there are many more chores than stewards underneath. In the long run, it will arouse public resentment, and she will not have the face of the crown princess.
Wen Jing didn't pay any attention to Mama Liu, but continued: "Mama Xu, autumn is the time of harvest, so you can buy more." Some fresh things can also be bought and let everyone in the house taste them. For the rest, you can prepare things for the winter. ”
"And the coals, except for those who have been divided by the inner servants. I saw that the quality of last year's red snail charcoal was average, so let's change it this year. ”
"Yes, the slave has been looking at a few more recently, so I will buy some of them first and come back for the mother to see."
Wen Jing bowed her head, she and Mama Xu have always been businesslike. At first, there were still those who were not convinced, but they didn't say anything after watching it for a month or two.
Wen Jing finished handling all the affairs in the backyard, and Jiang Xufeng also walked into Changchun Garden.
He saw that he was in a very good mood, and when he saw Wen Jing, he said: "Take the princess to the hot springs, it's a good time, and the scenery in the mountains is also extremely beautiful." ”
