Chapter Ninety-Six
After the hour of saying good morning, Wen Jing continued to deal with some palace affairs.
However, Lan Wei stayed outside for a moment and then walked in, with a small sandalwood box in his hand.
"Niangniang, just now the slave maid sent the masters out, and Concubine Hui asked the slave maid to bring this to a maid, saying that it was sent by Concubine Hui's family. Look at the good condition, take it to the mother to play. ”
Wen Jing took the sandalwood box, There was a string of red coral bracelets inside, there were no impurities on the red coral, and the whole bracelet was carved exquisitely in one go, which was indeed a rare good thing.
Wen Jing hooked her lips and smiled, it can be regarded as Concubine Hui's soberness, which means to seek peace.
"Gifts are still exchanged, this palace remembers that there is a small pendant of a jade gourd, you send it to Concubine Hui as a return gift."
"Didn't the palace say yesterday that I wanted to invite Concubine Wu to tea, but now that I have time, Zhuyun will invite it."
Concubine Wu was still waiting for the letter in Zhong'an Palace, and looked out every half an hour.
The fifth princess is gentle, well-behaved and sensible. When the first emperor was there, these princesses were all neglected, and the number of times the five princesses could see Emperor Kant in a year could be counted on one hand.
Of the four princesses in front, two died in their teens, and their biological mothers followed. The remaining two sisters are really average, but they are the children of the lord's family.
The eldest sister's colt has an outer room outside, and the third sister's colt is an alcoholic.
The fifth princess was concentrating on her hands, Even if the mother said that the queen mother would look at her this time, she didn't expect anything, just live a good life.
"Concubine, Sister Zhuyun beside the queen mother is here to invite."
Concubine Wu was very active for her daughter's marriage, and the mansion with half a cup of tea arrived at Fengyi Palace.
Concubine Wu is the concubine of the first emperor, although her position is not high, she can also be regarded as Wen Jing's elder. Wen Jing got up and took a few steps to greet her, and said with a smile: "The concubine came just in time, and the dim sum in the small kitchen has just come out of the pot." ”
Concubine Wu also smiled, smiling happily: "Oh, then I'm really blessed." ”
After Concubine Wu sat down, she first complimented, praised Fengyi Palace inside and out, and praised Wen Jing, and then finally inadvertently introduced the topic to the fifth princess.
"The princess has a soft personality, and I, as a mother, inevitably worry a little more." Concubine Wu showed a little sadness, "I don't want the princess to marry into the lord's rich family, I just want the character to be convenient." ”
"The concubine has a motherly heart," Wen Jing can understand what Concubine Wu wants, and Emperor Kangde, who is a father, is really not the same, "The concubine is patiently waiting for January and February, and the palace intends to hold a juju in the suburbs of Beijing after the spring, and invite the Langjun and girls from all families to come to the lively scene." At that time, the concubines and the five princesses were also invited to join in the fun. ”
When Concubine Wu heard this, some rich cheeks immediately smiled, and she thought in her heart that she would have to sort out the candidates, and then take a good look at each other.
After sending off Concubine Wu, Lan Qian asked with some excitement: "Niangniang, do you really want to hold a Keju competition?" ”
Wen Youqi didn't know what her father said, and decided that she had a good vision, so she had to ask her eldest sister to choose a wife for her, and she didn't faint Jiang at once.
Since Wen Jing has already agreed, it is natural to choose it carefully, so this is not only for the fifth princess.
Lan Qian saw Wen Jing nodding, and cautiously asked, "Niangniang, the slave loves these lively things, and wants to prepare with Sister Zhuyue?" ”
Wen Jing smiled at her, and lightly tapped Lan Qian with her fingertips: "This palace doesn't know you yet, you can't be idle, go ahead, and learn more from Zhuyue." ”
The days also passed very quickly, and it was the end of March.
Wen Zhinan talked with Jiang Xufeng several times in the Liangyi Palace, and finally took the idle position of an ordnance supervisor to supervise the construction and repair of weapons. The two monarchs and ministers staged a scene of resignation and resignation in the court, which can be regarded as deciding the matter.
The newly appointed General Zhenbei is an adjutant general in the barracks, who was born in poverty, and he has only come to this day by relying on real military exploits, but he suddenly met Jiang Xufeng's wishes.
Although the court knew that Wen Zhinan was willing to tell the old man, it was inevitable that some people would gossip, thinking that it was Jiang Xufeng's jealousy of the Wen family's military power that forced Wen Zhinan to retreat. Who knows, in the blink of an eye, Wen Zhinan's only son became the new commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and he was appointed to take office with a convenient order.
Gu Zhun, the commander of the former camp in the suburbs of Beijing, became the new commander of the Northwest Army, although Gu Zhun was flawed in his temperament, he was a rare general. Jiang Xufeng is employing people, and there is no candidate who can replace Gu Zhun among his cronies for the time being.
The commander of the forbidden army is Huo Yu, the commander of the guards who has been following Jiang Xufeng, who is also from an unknown background, and has been favored by Jiang Xufeng with his martial arts, and his loyalty has been visible for many years.
Jiang Xufeng had a candidate early, and overturned the abacus that was worried about these three positions, especially the Song family, Song Zhao originally wanted to recommend his son as the commander of the forbidden army. mentioned it a few times, Jiang Xufeng didn't react, but pushed Huo Yu up against public opinion.
Not only that, but the Duke of Chengen, which should be given to the Queen Mother's mother, has not moved for a long time. However, after Wen Zhinan retired from the position of general, within a few days, he gave the queen the title of Marquis of Rong'an, which her mother deserved.
If Song Zhao still couldn't understand it, he would have been in the court for so many years. Lord Song was naturally full of fire, he thought that the emperor and the first emperor would be different, and the means of not wanting to cross the river and demolish the bridge were really worthy of father and son. He angrily looked for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said, "My brother should know the emperor's character better than the mourning family", and the Song Lord was speechless.
Lord Song was unwilling, so he kept stalemate with Jiang Xufeng from February to the end of March. It's a pity that Jiang Xufeng doesn't care much about reputation, and the gossip in the capital is completely inaudible.
It wasn't until Qiao Yuansi, the Chinese scholar who had been working behind Lord Song before, was faintly reused by Jiang Xufeng that Lord Song's mind came to his senses.
Today's Jiang Xufeng and the Song family are no longer partners, but an intransgressible relationship between monarchs and ministers.
Song Zhao had a new plan in his heart, and he was no longer in a hurry for this time.
He lowered his head, and Jiang Xufeng looked like he was close to his mother's clan again: "My cousin is quite reasonable, and now there is a vacancy in the criminal department, so it is better to let my cousin give it a try, and my uncle Zhishi has a lot of teaching cousins at home." ”
Song Zhao looked at Jiang Xufeng with a smile, and suddenly realized that helping this nephew to take the throne was actually not a correct decision, the fingers of his left hand kept tapping on the back of his right hand, and now he took the title of Duke Cheng'en first.
The Song family has accumulated for many years, and the prestige of the power in the DPRK and China is quite high, and half of them are extremely close to the Song family. Even if he comes down from the position of Zhongshu Ling, the emperor wants to cut through the chaos quickly, but he can't kill the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
And Wen Jing has been preparing for a long time, and the Keju competition that has spread all over the ears of the ladies in the capital is finally about to start.
