The jade hands are white and slender, and the nails are pink and full. He has a slender figure and wears a bright blue brocade gown.

The woman looks very young at first glance.

Xun Xiang felt that this scene was very similar to a certain episode, and she wanted to seduce a man's little woman or girl to go to the man's study with ginseng tea......

Duan Wang put down the book with a smile, picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips of tea and stood up. I saw that the person was Gao Dezhu, the eldest daughter of King Duan.

The two sat on the bed of the arhat and said something. Gao Dezhu was full of smiles, and Duanwang looked at his daughter's eyes with warmth and doting.

Even if Xun Xiang was in a dream, she remembered the eyes of Grandpa Ding Zhuang and Daddy Ding Zhao looking at her, and she unconsciously felt warm all over her body.

Xun Xiang woke up automatically.

She sat up, took out the dry handkerchief under the pillow to wipe the sweat from her body, got up and got out of bed and opened the small window.

The starlight from outside came in, illuminating the room in a hazy light.

Xun Xiang remembered the scene in the dream again.

She has a good impression of King Duan, and she is definitely a good father. So far, I haven't heard of anything bad done by him other than playing stupid.

Why should he play dumb?

Thinking again, King Duan is the eldest son, and he is from such a background, so it is possible to pretend to be stupid to protect himself. Maybe it's hibernating, waiting until the other princes are inseparable before making a move...... Since childhood, he has known that he is dormant, and he is considered a genius.

The former is more likely, the latter is less likely.

As long as he has no ill will towards himself and his relatives, has not harmed the emperor and Xiaoba at present, and has not done anything unfavorable to the court, he will leave him alone for the time being.

After figuring it out, Xun Xiang quickly fell asleep.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, the Cai family of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi held a peach blossom banquet, and the Cai family also won a talent competition to select the "four beauties".

Cai Jiayi, the aunt and grandmother of the Cai family, is going to withdraw from the "four beauties" when she is old, and they hope that Cai Jiahui, another girl from the Cai family, will make up for it.

Cai Jiahui is the companion of the six princesses, and the six princesses also said that they would help her.

Shen Ying also wants to be shortlisted for the four beauties.

Princess Xiyang didn't want the Zhenxi Hou Mansion to have the advantage of the home field, and wanted to make this game two months late for the purse banquet, but Concubine Cai Shu came forward and failed.

Princess Xiyang is still angry with Dongyang in her heart, if Dongyang is not grounded, Xun Xiang is not interested in the "four beauties", and her own daughter will definitely have a better chance of winning at the peony banquet than at the peach blossom banquet.

Although Xun Xiang is not yet twelve years old, this year is her twelfth year, and she is also eligible to run, but she is not here.

In order to help Shen Ying, Xun Xiang and Gao Mingshan went to Princess Xiyang's Mansion early in the morning.

Xun Xiang specialized in studying the makeup techniques of this era and previous life, and personally put on a suitable makeup for Shen Ying. After putting on makeup, the little girl is as beautiful as a lotus flower that has just opened its buds, which not only retains the richness favored by this era, but also does not lose the beauty of the little girl.

Princess Xiyang's eyes narrowed with a smile. Dongyang is a mallet, she didn't see it when she knew how to appreciate aesthetics, and she always felt that the previous fake girl was more beautiful.

A few little ladies and Princess Xiyang were about to take a carriage to Zhenxi Hou Mansion, when the good father-in-law next to the emperor came to Xun Xiang to pass on the emperor's message.

He smiled and said, "Lord Xiangxiang, our family went to Princess Dongyang's Mansion first, and when I heard that you were here, we rushed here again." If I can't see you here, I'm going to Zhenxi Hou Mansion again. ”

Everyone knelt down, and the good father-in-law sang, "The emperor dictated, that set of 'management strategies' is a measure to benefit the country and the people, and I am very happy with it." Specially summoned the lord of Xiangxiang County to enter the Taiji Hall to meet ......"

Summoned Xun Xiang to the Tai Chi Palace, not to mention that Xun Xiang was surprised, all the people present were surprised.

The Taiji Hall is the emperor's bedroom, and it is also the place where the emperor and important ministers discuss court affairs, and ordinary ministers can't enter.

Xun Xiang knew that yesterday Ding Zhao submitted the revised "management measures". It should be that the emperor and the elders of the cabinet are interested after seeing it, and today they not only summoned Ding Zhao, but also summoned her.

Seeing the envious and jealous eyes of those people, Xun Xiang was very helpless. She doesn't like politics, and she doesn't like the court, why did the emperor's grandfather call her to discuss matters and ask in private......

Slander is slander, but he still said loudly, "Xiangxiang takes the order." ”

Xun Xiang went back to Princess Dongyang's mansion to change the court clothes, and there was a set of court clothes in Kunning Palace, so she went there to change them, and then went to the Taiji Palace.

In the Taiji Palace, not only the emperor and Ding Zhao were there, but there were also four middle-aged people in their forties and an old man with gray hair.

The old man is Xie Shoufu, one is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the other three don't know each other.

Behind the emperor stood two eunuchs and two guards with knives.

One of the guards was Sun Youmu. He stood there like a statue, expressionless.

Xun Xiang bowed and stood aside with several ministers.

The emperor and several cabinet elders asked questions, mainly Ding Zhao answered, Ding Zhao's answer was incomplete or needed to be supplemented, Xun Xiang would say a word or two.

Before, Xie Shoufu and several other courtiers still felt that the emperor had too much trust in the lord of Xiangxiang, the little girl was studious, literate, and knowledgeable, how could she understand government affairs at a young age.

Through the conversation, I learned that although the little girl said very little, she could say the idea.

After eating, we continued to deliberate.

After dinner, the emperor gave a seat to the little Xun Xiang and the old Xie Capital.

It was discussed until Shen Shi, and the emperor and several cabinet elders finished asking what they wanted to ask.

The emperor immediately appointed Ding Zhao as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, led by the cabinet, and jointly drafted by multiple departments, and then popularized this set of management measures. It was first implemented in government-run workshops, and then promoted to private enterprises.

Ding Zhao also officially became an official of the imperial court, instead of the previous form of semi-official and half-business.

After the courtiers left, the emperor and Xun Xiang went to Kunning Palace.

Queen Ye didn't have a little joy, she never intervened in the affairs of the court, and she rarely said, "The emperor spoils Xiangxiang too much, she is a girl, these things are ......"

The emperor said, "Although Xiangxiang is young, she knows the importance of it, and she is much stronger than some princes......" Seeing that the queen was worried in her eyes, she smiled again, "The queen is too worried, I also love her, and I will not let her become the target of public criticism." ”

After the emperor left, Queen Ye pulled Xun Xiang and said some words, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it". The overall meaning is that the situation between the DPRK and China is uncertain, you are a girl, don't do what you shouldn't do, don't say what you shouldn't say.

Xun Xiang promised.

After coming up with this "management method" and helping Ding Zhao's father enter the court, she only had to paint, write books, and earn money, and then quietly look at the future fortune of the eighth uncle, and quietly help if she can.

When I returned to the princess's mansion the next day, I heard that Cai Jiahui and Shen Ying had fierce competition, and finally Cai Jiahui took advantage of the home field to be selected as the "Four Beauties".

Dongyang pouted and said, "This is the Xiangxiang of the palace that I didn't choose, if I go, I will do poetry, painting and calligraphy, and take it out casually, and what will happen to her Cai Jiahui." ”

Although Dongyang feels that Xun Xiang is not as good as Xun Feng in appearance and figure, he has to admit that Xun Xiang is far superior to Xun Feng in other aspects.

She has always wanted Xun Xiang to run for the Four Beauties, and Xun Feng taught her in this regard when she was a child.
