MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 121 the first day of the year

Since Yan Changye, the former Minister of Officials and Xue Sheng, the former Minister of Officials, were dismissed from office, for several days, the Prince's Mansion, the people of Dali Temple and the Censor Terrace, kept going in and out of the Ministry of Personnel to conduct an inventory of the upper and lower levels of the Ministry of Personnel.

The people who came from the Censor Desk also included Wang Jingyi, the Censor.

As the head of the six ministries, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel are all somewhat arrogant, and they are not willing to be questioned every day. When facing Wang Jingyi, a newly appointed female official who was recommended for office and has no resume, even if she was sceptical about the left minister. However, there are still many gossips about Wang Jingyi secretly.

That day, Wang Jingyi stayed in the archives of the Ministry of Officials for too long, and felt that the charcoal fire had been burning in the house to keep him warm, so he got up and went out to blow the air, and met the current right servant of the Ministry of Officials, Ji Mu.

The eyes of the two collided with a distance of a few steps, and before they could open their mouths, there was a voice from the corner of the other side, which seemed to be the voice of two female officials in the Ministry of Personnel.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ji to be transferred back to the Ministry of Personnel again. He is so young to be the waiter. Mr. Ji is really young and promising."

"Master Ji is handsome and well-mannered. I heard that he hasn't married yet."

"I can see that Mr. Ji seems to have an unusual relationship with the Miss Wang from the Censor's desk. I have seen the two of them look at each other several times."

"No way…"

At this time, Ji Mu's eyes were still fixed on Wang Jingyi's face, and his expression was normal.

On the other hand, Wang Jingyi's face was a little unnatural. When did she flirt with Ji Mu.

Wang Jingyi canceled her plan to meet Ji Mu at the same time. If she made a sound at this moment, everyone would be embarrassed.

Wang Jingyi was about to walk away, when the two female officials continued to speak, and mentioned herself again, Wang Jingyi frowned unconsciously and stopped.

"Miss Wang is really lucky. With the recommendation, she has been promoted to the sixth rank in just a few days."

"Yeah, all female officials are low-level civil servants, so Miss Wang relies on her father."

"This Miss Wang really doesn't understand the rules of the officialdom, and it's such a big deal as soon as she comes up.

"Miss Renda came here to play on a whim. Maybe she will go back and get married in two days."

The two female officials simply did not go this way, and their voices drifted away.

------

Wang Jingyi's face was a little unsightly, and no one would be happy to hear that she was being talked about like this behind her back.

The opposite Ji Mu took two steps forward and looked at Wang Jingyi and said:

"They were right."

Wang Jingyi raised her head suddenly, a little surprised at what Ji Mu said.

Ji Mu continued:

"Master Wang has done a good job, but in the officialdom, there are many twists and turns. For some things, we still need to proceed step by step and use a little bit of skill."

Ji Mu looked at Wang Jingyi's current series of actions, as if he was leading the way.

But he didn't realize that Miss Wang was just killing her relatives righteously. Perhaps, Wang Jingyi was also weakening the leftist faction and using this method to save herself.

But Wang Jingyi's current situation in the Censor's desk is not optimistic.

I'm afraid the people from the Censor's desk only regard her as a decoration, and will not really cooperate with what she does. And the Zuo Xiang group should hate Wang Jingyi so much.

The resistance is frequent, and she is too hasty, she should be very difficult to do things.

However, among the noble ladies in Shangjing, it is indeed rare to see such insight and courage.

Ji Mu remembered that he recommended Wang Jingyi to the prince before as the concubine of the prince, and Wang Jingyi could afford to take that position regardless of family background, appearance or knowledge.

But Ji Mu, who was standing in front of Wang Jingyi at the moment, was glad that the prince didn't have this idea.

Wang Jingyi adjusted for a moment and looked at Ji Mu:

"Then the lower official will ask Master Ji for more advice."

Ji Mu's brows moved slightly and replied:

"I don't dare to give advice. It's my honor to be able to discuss with Lord Wang."

------

The first day of the first month, the hour.

At the court meeting in Fengtian Hall of the Imperial City, the minister of civil and military affairs congratulated Yuanri.

Emperor Hui ascended the throne, and together with the prince Feng Zhan, as usual, he gave the ministers cypress wine, and the ruler and minister shared it to wish longevity.

Taking Bai Ye's proud snow and lingshuang, green and green as a model, he encourages all his subjects to be honest and honest and loyal to state affairs.

And from today onwards, the imperial pen will be sealed, and the whole dynasty will rest for five days.

Today, it is also a day when people go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for peace and prosperity.

Fortunately, the weather is clear, and it is also suitable for going out. Zhu Shi, the mistress of the Qin Mansion, Minister of Industry, took her two daughters to Dajue Temple.

In the solemn and solemn hall, Mrs. Zhu and Qin Xi and Qin Lin each knelt with incense and prayed silently in their hearts.

Zhu's businessman's nature is that seeking money is indispensable, and she does not expect her husband Qin Wenxuan to be promoted. She only hopes that the family will be safe and healthy, and that the two daughters will have a good marriage.

Although Qin Xi didn't think that begging the Bodhisattva to worship the Buddha would really help, she still made a small wish, hoping that the family would be happy every day.

Qin Lin seems to be affected by the falling into the water in Taiye Pool, she just wants the safety of her family.

But the moment she raised her eyes, she suddenly paused, and then closed her eyes again.

I hope that person is safe and well...

After that, Mrs. Zhu left alone to donate incense, leaving Qinxi and Qin Lin to walk around the hall and wait for her to come back.

Qin Xi went under a tall and straight pine tree not far from the main hall, and poked the ice ridges hanging on the branches with a wooden stick.

Qin Lin stood a few steps away, watching Qin Xi hilariously.

"Donor, I haven't been to the temple for a long time."

Qin Lin turned around when she heard the sound, it was Master Yun Jing.

"Master." Qin Lin put her hands together and returned a salute.

The identity of this daughter in the office of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry will not impress Master Yun Jing very much, but this young lady is indeed through people. And a few days ago, the prince of Duan Wangfu also mentioned to him intentionally or unintentionally...

After Master Yun Jing left, Qin Lin looked back at the green pine tree that had been repaired by Qin Xi and restored its original appearance.

Green pines and cypresses, the four seasons are as usual, no matter the rain, snow and frost, it is only a short stay.

If it wasn't for the day he came to the temple to pray for his father, and occasionally talked about Zen with Master Yunjing, there would be no such thing as that.

And now it's just restored to its original appearance.

All are passersby.

After coming out of Dajue Temple, Qin Xi excitedly asked Xiang Zhu:

"Auntie, are we going to pay New Year's greetings to the Crown Princess and the eldest sister?"

Zhu Shi stopped when he was about to board the car, and turned to look at Qin Xi with a little relief in his eyes.

Although her eldest daughter is simple-minded, fortunately, she also knows some worldly ways.

Zhu Shi smiled and said:

"Where can a woman like me always go to see the Crown Princess, your father explained that as the head of the family, he should personally bring gifts to the Crown Princess to pay New Year's greetings to the Crown Princess, and also to thank the Crown Princess."

In fact, Qin Wenxuan knew in his heart that his niece Qin Yan had no relationship with the Qin family. At first, Qin Wenxuan did not agree with Zhu's request to beg the Crown Princess to take care of the two daughters. It was Zhu who sacrificed her old face for her precious daughter and begged it cheekily.

------

After returning to the city, Mrs. Zhu went to Nanshi to check on the business of the shop. Qin Xi and Qin Lin also got off the bus in Nanshi, but Qin Xi took Qin Lin and went to Qianshui Lake.

Qin Lin originally thought that Qin Xi was just going to play with ice, but she stopped abruptly when she was taken outside the gate of Shuyufang, a famous brothel by the Qianshui Lake.

Although the mother recently proposed a marriage for them, the reason is more to quell the rumors that she is the heir of the Duan Wangfu, but now they are still discussing relatives outside, and this time to come to this kind of place...

"Hurry up, Su Qing is going to be on stage today." Qin Xi took two steps back and pulled Qin Lin in.

However, the environment in Yuyufang was not as noisy as Qin Lin imagined, which made Qin Lin's frown slightly stretched.

Qin Xi and Qin Lin chose a private seat on the second floor. At this time, it was a familiar face, the piano master Su Qing, who was playing the piano on the atrium stage.

At the end of the song, Su Qing looked up at Qin Xi and Qin Lin's position and smiled lightly, then picked up Qin and stood up, and walked upstairs.

Qin Xi was full and satisfied, she pulled Qin Lin up and walked away from the other stairs.

"To avoid suspicion." As Qin Xi walked, he turned around and said to Qin Lin mysteriously.

Qin Lin was helpless. She had already arrived at Shuyufang. Is this time to avoid suspicion and steal the bell?

Su Qing stood at the railing, looking at the backs of Qin Xi and Qin Lin leaving, thoughtful.

Then Su Qing continued to move forward, passing by Qin Xi and Qin Lin's elegant seat just now, walked to a private room where the curtain was lowered and the ground was tightly covered, raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Not long after, a servant opened the door from the inside. He glanced vigilantly behind Su Qing, saw no one else, and took a step to the side. Su Qing stepped in, and the private room door was closed.

At this moment, by the window facing the lake in this elegant room, there was a man wrapped in fox fur.

The man raised his eyes and glanced at Su Qing, who was still holding Qin Li at the entrance, pointed his finger at the vacant seat in front of him, and said:

"sit."

Su Qing bowed slightly, walked towards the man opposite, put Qin on the table, and sat down with cross-legged.

Su Qing glanced at the man on the opposite side who was drinking tea, then stretched a hand to the bottom of the piano, took out a note from a hidden compartment, unfolded it, and placed it on the table.

"This is the sincerity of my Patriarch to His Highness."

Su Qing left a sentence, then hugged Qin and got up and left.

The man looked down at the note on the table.

There are only two words on it.

"Jingzhou."

------

During the Youshi, the palace held a banquet to entertain the royal family and members of the royal family.

When Feng Zhan and Qin Yan arrived, there were already Emperor Hui, the queen, the fourth concubine, Prince Ning, the second prince, the third prince, the two princesses, Xie Changyuan, the prince of Duan Wangfu Feng Subei and the prince's concubine An Yanxi.

Empress Dowager Xiao did not attend because of her ill health.

Xie Changyuan stood up and saluted, watching Qin Yan and the prince take the seat together, Xie Changyuan lowered his eyes to hide the bitterness in his heart.

Today's palace banquet is also a royal family banquet.

The singing and dancing accompany the banquet, and the cups are exchanged.

Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Jing who was drinking on her own.

"I heard that Concubine Jing has been walking around frequently with Zuo Xiang's mansion recently. Does this mean that you want to choose a young lady from Zuo Xiang's mansion as concubine for the third prince?"

Concubine Jing paused with her hand holding the wine glass, and then put it down calmly, without saying anything.

For the prince and the concubine, the biological mothers of these princes, even if they push it privately, have no initiative. In the end, it depends on the thoughts of the sage, the queen, and even the meaning of the prince.

Concubine Shu actually brought this matter to the scene.

Concubine Xian, a good old man, spoke up and eased the embarrassment of the scene.

"Empress Empress these days, it should be hard work for the two second princes and the third prince's concubines."

An Yanxi looked at Qin Yan next to the prince:

"I heard that the cousin of the Crown Princess, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is wise and wise..."

Everyone in the hall turned their attention to An Yanxi.

Qin Yan and Feng Zhan's eyes were a little cold, but Feng Subei's whole body was cold.

------

After the banquet was over, Feng Subei and An Yanxi took the sedan chair to the Xihua Gate of the imperial city.

Before boarding the carriage, Feng Subei grabbed An Yanxi's arm vigorously and made An Yanxi turn to face him.

Feng Subei's eyes are cold and his tone is cold:

"what are you going to do?"

An Yanxi looked up at Feng Subei, her expression was flat, thinking of Feng Subei's nervousness in the hall just now, she actually felt a little comfort in her heart.

Feng Subei was about to speak again when Song Zhi quickly walked over to salute:

"Prince, His Royal Highness is urgently summoned and has urgent official business."

Feng Subei frowned and turned around, then gave An Yanxi a cold look, and left with Song Zhi.

An Yanxi didn't get into the car immediately.

Today is the first day of the first year, and the officials will take a rest. If something happens, there will be an emergency call?

An Yanxi looked at the direction Feng Subei was leaving, and smiled bitterly in her heart.

The prince said a word, and his husband had to rush over quickly.

Who wouldn't want to marry that noble man standing at the top?

In front of the Prince's Highness, any other man is about to die.

------

When Feng Subei entered the imperial study room, there were already the sage, the prince, the prince concubine, the two princes, Shen Changshan, the Duke of Zhenguo, Xie An of the Marquis of Yongding, Xie Changyuan, the prince of the Marquis of Yongding, and He Yanming, the Minister of War.

Feng Subei felt a little bad in his heart, what happened?

And some people here, such as the two princes, the Hou Xie'an of Yongding, and the prince Xie Changyuan, frequently turned their attention to the Crown Princess Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was the only woman present.

Even if the prince loves the prince concubine very much, how can the prince concubine participate in today's battle.

After the imperial case, Emperor Hui opened his mouth to clarify his doubts:

"Prince Princess Qin Yan, before returning to Beijing, was the city lord of Gucheng in the northwest."

As soon as this statement came out, the few people who had just doubted and disagreed were shocked.

Qin Yan, the famous living king of **** in the northwest, the city lord of Gucheng?

No wonder Qin Yan was named the county lord immediately after returning to Beijing, and he was given a palace as the county lord's mansion.

The second prince Feng Xian and the third prince Feng Yi both looked at the prince and Qin Yan immediately.

To get such a woman to become a concubine, what a bargain the crown prince got.

Xie Chang Yuan felt bitter in his heart and regretted it hard.

He once thought that Qin Yan was just an ordinary boudoir girl, and would continue to be involved with him to restore the marriage contract.

No wonder Qin Yan was so indifferent as if he didn't care about the relationship between his children.

Disciple of Master Yishan, owner of Yu Qingfeng Bank, Lord of Gucheng...

What has Qin Yan experienced over the years?

------

Emperor Hui motioned that Li Fuquan, the chief eunuch, would take the booklet placed on the imperial case with both hands, and then hand it over to the public for circulation.

This is the urgent military situation from the army stationed in Shuobei, 800 miles back to the Ministry of War urgently.

The military newspaper said:

Daxia was in a small town with more than 400 people on the northern border of Shuo, and was looted and slaughtered by the Turks at night, and more than 100 soldiers who were patrolling and chasing were killed.

After reading the military newspaper, everyone looked at He Yanming, Minister of War, with some sympathy.

The military newspaper also stated in the breakdown of the damage caused by the attack:

He Xiao, a member of the Ministry of War, accidentally fell into an ice cave while chasing the bandits. When he was rescued, He Xiao's legs had been frostbitten and necrotic.

But at this moment, everyone's thoughts were not on the tragic experience of the eldest son of He Shangshu, and their brows were furrowed when their thoughts were withdrawn.

After the case, Emperor Hui asked:

"What do you think?"

The Minister of War, He Yanming, quickly sorted out his thoughts and spoke first:

"Since the end of the war between Daxia and Xirong and the Turks five years ago, there are still occasional Turkic harassment in the north, but this time is the most serious and the most arrogant."

"This time, the Turks still declared that the incident had nothing to do with the Turkic army, but only rogues on the border, but the minister believed that these murderers were the Turks who had skinned the rogues."

When the Minister of War, He Yanming, spoke, his lips were trembling.

The evil deeds of these Turks are indeed outrageous, but at this moment, He Shangshu should also be suffering great pain and anger for what happened to his eldest son, He Xiao.

Feng Subei said:

"The minister believes that the escalation of the Turkic harassment this time is probably due to the grain shortage and floods in the Great Xia this year, and the Turks are constantly testing the bottom line of the Great Xia."

"Does the repeated actions of the Turks indicate that the next war will not be too far away?"

Feng Subei's words were also the worry of everyone present.

And Daxia has a vast land and many neighboring countries, and it is not a good time to start a war at this moment.

Prince Feng Zhan arranged in a deep voice:

"Marquis of Yongding Xie'an, prepare immediately and go to the Shuobei army to preside over military affairs."

"The prince of Duanwang's mansion was sealed with Subei, and he went to Shuobei together to supervise the army."

Emperor Hui nodded and had no objection.

Yongding Hou Xie'an and Feng Subei led the order.

When everyone left, Emperor Hui called the Minister of War, He Yanming, alone.

In the imperial study, apart from Li Fuquan, the chief **** who accompanied him, there were only Emperor Hui and He Yanming.

Emperor Hui looked at He Yanming who frowned and sighed in his heart.

He is also a father, how can he not understand He Yanming's mood at the moment.

Thinking about the past few years, Prince Feng Zhan had been in the Shuobei Army, and Emperor Hui had imagined more than once, in case the Prince...

Therefore, there was a move to cultivate the second prince.

Emperor Hui said to He Yanming:

"He Shangshu, you are suffering for Daxia and the royal family."

"When your son He Xiao returns to Beijing, I will decree him to be named General Xuanwu."

He Yanming thanked Shengen.

------

He Yanming left Xihuamen, and then relieved the tension of official duties. At this moment, he is no longer the Minister of War, he is just a father.

Before He Yanming got into the carriage, his face was extremely pale. His eyes suddenly flashed, his body was tilted to one side, and he took a few steps to stabilize his body.

"Master." The servant hurried forward to support his master.

He Yanming supported his head with one hand, calmed down for a moment, and barely recovered.

And when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw the Duanwangfu carriage frame that left not far ahead.

He Yanming felt sad in his heart.

An Yanxi, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the scholar's mansion, was the prince concubine of Duanwang's mansion.

What did my son owe her in his previous life?

He Yanming knew that his eldest son, He Xiao, went from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Household to hang out with him, because he was rejected by An Yanxi.

And He Xiao returned to the military to win An Yanxi.

He Xiao asked himself to go to Shuobei because An Yanxi became a relative and married into Duan Wangfu.

And why did He Xiao, a soldier of the Ministry of War, go to the front line to chase the bandits?

He Yanming smiled wryly, his stupid son was probably trying to get back to Beijing in one breath in order to make contributions as soon as possible.

It's for that An Yanxi again.

An Yanxi, An Yanxi, for a woman, He Xiao treats career as a child's play.

Now still...

That was the eldest son that he had carefully cultivated, the eldest son he used to be proud of...

He Yanming was supported by his servants and got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards He Mansion.

At this moment, He Yanming felt that he was ten years older in an instant.

It's okay, it's okay, no white-haired people send black-haired people...
