"Who doesn't have private conversations? I'm afraid Sixth Sister-in-law will avoid me when discussing with others!" Zhu Yunsheng said not caring much.
Baochai smiled, and then asked: "What do you want from me?"
"Sister-in-law, I really have a small matter, and I want to ask you for help!"
Of course Baochai doesn't believe this. A matter that even the princess cannot solve must not be simple at all.
"Stop trying to convince me...if you have anything to say, just say it!" Baochai said calmly.
Zhu Yunsheng knew that there was no need to be mean in front of Baochai, so he said simply: "Actually, he is the consort, he..."
Seeing that Zhu Yunsheng hesitated to speak, Baochai then asked, "What's wrong with the prince-in-law?"
"He wants...he wants to make contributions and establish a career!"
When Baochai heard only the four words "make contributions and establish a career", Baochai I roughly understand the situation.
Seeing that Baochai didn't say anything, Zhu Yunsheng had no choice but to say: "Now the Thirteenth Brother is leading the troops in the southeast. It's time to recruit people around him. Liang Yi also has some abilities. If he can get there..."
p>
"Third sister, these are trivial matters. It's just that the prince-in-law is being raised by the imperial court, so there is no need to strive for fame!"
After a pause, Baochai continued: "What's more... this matter It’s not quite in line with the rules!”
The Prince Consort does not serve as an official or lead troops. This has been implemented for more than 300 years since Taizu. Breaking this rule will not benefit Prince Xiang’s Palace.
"Third sister...you know..."
Baochai looked embarrassed and said: "Your thirteenth brother also has difficulties. For these unruly things, it is better to ask the mother first." It's better to show it!"
In fact, Zhu Yunsheng knew that the negotiation would not work out before he came.
Before she got married, she would have just thought that Baochai was stingy and unwilling to help. Now that she is a married woman, she understands what it means that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
Zhu Yunsheng knew how many difficulties Baochai was in and how many enemies there were in Prince Xiang's Mansion.
"Okay!" Zhu Yunsheng was extremely helpless.
After all, they are closely related sisters. Baochai continued: "But I advise you not to talk about these things. Firstly, it is very likely to run into trouble. Secondly, if the father knows about it, , I’m afraid it’s not a good thing for the consort!”
The emperor’s doting on Zhu Yunsheng does not mean that he will tolerate the consort. If he thinks that Liang Yi has evil intentions, it will be difficult for the latter to live a good life.
In this world, Zhu Jinghong is the only person who can break the rules many times. In addition to his status as the direct prince, it is also because of the favorable circumstances, favorable circumstances, and good people.
Zhu Yunsheng also understood these principles, but she couldn't stand the consort's begging, so she went to the palace to plead for mercy, but she met Baochai first.
Seeing that Zhu Yunsheng had been persuaded, Baochai said with a smile: "Although he can't be an official, your son can. In my opinion, the most important thing for you right now is...
Before Baochai finished speaking, Zhu Yunsheng turned around and said shyly: "Sister-in-law Thirteen, what did you say?"What! ”
Although it was half-joking, what Baochai said was true. Not only could the son of the prince-in-law be an official, but he also had a very high starting point.
Ordinary noble children, If you pass the examination, you can join the Dragon Guard, and the princess's son can join the Qianqing Sect and become the so-called imperial guard.
"Okay, okay, you go to see the mother first, and remember not to talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble. Come to trouble! "
"Yes! ”
There are many messy things in the capital. Baochai, the head of Prince Xiang’s Mansion, is busy almost every day.
As for Yang Jingting, who is thousands of miles away, there is no princess at the moment. Although he worked hard, he enjoyed the exclusive favor.
Except for the first night, when Zhu Jinghong came back a little late, Yang Jingting stayed with her almost every day for the next half month.
Only for a few days, she really couldn't bear it, so she gave the opportunity to Zhang Xiaoyue and Li Huizhen.
It was precisely because of her "humility" that Zhang Xiaoyue and Li Huizhen became friends. She was extremely grateful, respected Yang Jingting, and flattered her wholeheartedly.
On the soft couch in the main seat of the living room, Yang Jingting sipped melon seeds and asked calmly: "The prince went out today, do you know why? "
Zhang Xiaoyue replied: "I heard that I went to inspect the army. Today, word has spread in the city that the Western Yi army is coming again! "
Nowadays, the southeastern provinces are sparing no effort to prepare for war, so the situation about Xiyi is not a secret in Yingtianfu City.
Yang Jingting sighed: "I just don’t know, he How long will it take to get there? "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in three to five days! "Li Huizhen answered quickly.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jingting smiled and then said: "In this case, we can also rest for two days! ”
After hearing what she said, Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Xiaoyue laughed, but they didn’t dare to continue.
The three of them were talking and laughing when a man hurriedly walked in from outside. A maid came to Yang Jingting and reported: "Madam, the master of the Lin family has passed away! ”
Zhu Jinghong likes Lin Daiyu. Yang Jingting has known this for a long time, but she didn’t pay much attention to it in the past.
But after she came to Yingtian, she realized that Zhu Jinghong was thinking too much about this girl. , which made Yang Jingting change her mind.
She was almost certain that if this girl from the Lin family entered the palace, she would most likely be appointed as a concubine.
< p>Because Daiyu has a good relationship with Baochai, it means that this woman will be her potential enemy.Because she is an enemy, she must pay close attention to her, so she also sent people to keep an eye on the Lin family. < /p>
“When did it happen? Yang Jingting asked.
The maid reported: "Half an hour ago, the Lin family was setting up a mourning hall!"
Yang Jingting did not answer in a hurry. After thinking for a while, Fang said: "In my name, prepare a sacrifice for the Lin family, and then order the guards to prepare... I want to visit in person!" ”
Zhang Xiaoyue and Zhang Xiaoyue belong to YangThe Jingting camp is very familiar with the current layout of the palace, and understands that Daiyu is on the side of the princess, so the behavior of the concubine is very puzzling.
"Mother, what are you doing..."
Yang Jingting replied: "The Lin family is valued by the prince, so I should praise it more!"
Of course it is. In terms of the situation, the more important reason is that Yang Jingting believes that she should find ways to bring Daiyu to her side.
Even if you can't make you submit to yourself, at least the two of you can have a better relationship and not be enemies.
To take a step back, if her behavior of "loving the house and the bird" can make Zhu Jinghong happy, it will also be a very profitable business.
"Also, send someone to spread the news immediately, so that the prince will know about this as soon as possible!"
"Go quickly!"
"Yes!" The maid replied.
In fact, there was no need for Yang Jingting to worry about spreading the message. The eunuchs had learned the news first and had already sent people to deliver the message.
Moreover, Zhu Jinghong had prepared these things before he left. The sacrifices prepared in his name had already been prepared in the palace.
A quarter of an hour later, Yang Jingting learned the complete situation, so her share of the sacrifice was waived, but she still planned to go to the Lin family.
Although she is only a concubine, her travel is also very complicated and requires careful preparation both inside and outside.
The Xue family was much faster than her. Xia Yuegui arrived at the Lin family first, and then stayed with Daiyu inseparably.
During this period, she helped make decisions on all matters, big and small, while Daiyu nodded in agreement.
Xia Yuegui managed even the Xue family in an orderly manner, but she was even more comfortable handling the affairs of the Lin family.
Bao Qin came with Xia Yuegui. This girl came to Jinling with Yang Jingting, but she returned to Xue's house because her father was ill.
When Xia Yuegui came over today, Baoqin also wanted to meet Daiyu, so she followed him.
When he was in Beijing before, Baoqin often heard Baochai mention Daiyu. The latter praised Daiyu as a rare talented woman in the world, so Baoqin became curious.
As the news of Lin Ruhai's passing spread, old friends and colleagues came to pay their respects one after another. These people were all entertained by the elders of the Lin family.
Nowadays, the Lin family is not prosperous, and there is no one in the family who can take charge, and its decline is already a certainty.
It is natural for people to drink cold tea.
So these guests who came just sat for a while and then thought about leaving.
"Mrs. Jia is here!"
Generally speaking, if the owner of the family cannot come, his wife can also pay homage on his behalf, as long as he is ushered into the inner house.
"Mrs. Jia?"
Everyone was talking about it. After all, the Yue family of the Lin family was named Jia, so they thought it was the Jia family of Jinling.
Unexpectedly, news came out outside soon.Jia Li, the wife of the new governor Jia Hua.
This Jia Li family is actually Jiao Xing, and her real surname is Li.
At this time, someone said: "It is said that Mr. Jia is decisive and merciless... It is rare to see him caring about favors nowadays!"
The identity of the speaker is not simple, he is Jinling Xu Xinan, the envoy to the inspection, was also the person with the highest status present.
He and Lin Ruhai were not Jinshi in the same year, but they worked together in the Hanlin Academy. However, the former was an ordinary scholar, while the latter was a first-class and second-class editor.
If Lin Ruhai had not been in poor health and the emperor was indeed "cruel" to him, this person's career would have been much smoother. Not to mention being ranked among the six ministers and nine ministers, he should also be a minister of a certain ministry.
Now that Lin Ruhai is dead, a sinister villain like Jia Yucun has risen to prominence, which makes Xu Xinan even more angry at this moment, so he started to ridicule him.
Lin Ruhai was a noble official of the Qing Dynasty, and so were Xu Xinan and others, so everyone else spoke in agreement.
Jia Yucun has been doing radical things recently and has really offended many people. It is normal for him to be attacked.
Unexpectedly, not long after everyone was talking, news came from outside, and everyone knew that King Xiang’s concubine was also here.
The concubine of King Xiang came here to represent King Xiang.
Who is King Xiang? The pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the most beloved legitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor.
Such a person sent his concubine to pay homage in person, which deeply surprised everyone present, secretly saying that they had underestimated Lin Ruhai in the past.
Only Xu Xinan knows the inside story and understands that Zhu Jinghong "loves the house and the bird" can he praise Lin Ruhai in this way.
Not to mention what these people were talking about, Yang Jingting of the Lin family was directly carried into the Lin family.
She had arrived late, so there were already many ladies present, and now everyone came out to welcome her.
In the courtyard, a dozen women prostrated themselves in front of Yang Jingting, including Xia Yuegui and Jiao Xing.
As Zhu Jinghong's concubine, Yang Jingting's status is transcendent, and she deserves to be worshiped by everyone.
Every time this happens, she will think of those things in the past, and think of the "position of princess" that should have been hers.
Of course, she has hidden these thoughts very deeply, and even she will forget them most of the time, and she will only think of them at this specific time.
She saw the situation clearly, so she understood that the top priority was to gain Zhu Jinghong's approval and give him a child.
"Excuse me!" Yang Jingting said with a humble expression.
While speaking, she had already come to Daiyu in person and stretched out her hand to help her up.
"Sister, I'm sorry for you!" Yang Jingting spoke affectionately, looking at Daiyu with pity in her eyes.
Although the two of them knew each other originally, there was always a sense of alienation between them because of the grievances between Yang Jingting and Baochai.
“Thank you, empress!”
“Sister, you call me that, butWe're so unfamiliar..."
As she spoke, Yang Jingting took Daiyu's hand and led her to the main hall. As she walked, she said: "You and I were once ministers in the same palace. What a good sister they are who serve the princess wholeheartedly! ”
The ladies present are all fine people. They all watched Yang Jingting’s words and deeds, and they understood that the Lin family is not simple yet and should pay more attention to it.
Only Xia Yuegui saw something different from Yang Jingting's actions.
She was not in a hurry, but watched silently, thinking about spreading the news to Beijing.
Of course, Bao Qin in the crowd also disliked Yang Jingting, because of her posture at the moment, she obviously thought of herself as a princess.
Women have very complicated thoughts. It was impossible to tell at that time.
Besides the Lin family, Xue Pan was also late. This was the result of Xia Yuegui's quick notification.
Now Xue Pan is also very late. He was busy, the sea trade was suspended, and other errands had to be done, and he had to do better to fill the gap. His title as head of the household department was not a white-collar worker.
Jia Baoyu also came with Xue Pan. This guy wanted to come to the Lin family for a long time, but he was dragged by Xue Pan in various ways until he was able to make the trip today.
Lin Ruhai passed away. As a Jia family member, Jia Baoyu should logically represent the Jia family in the capital. He came to pay homage in the name of the Jia family.
But he didn't think about it at all. At this moment, he only wanted to see Daiyu and say some caring words to her.
But here. It was the Lin family, not the Jia family. How could he, a foreigner, enter the inner house? Moreover, when Yang Jingting arrived at the Lin family, there were eunuch guards guarding every door.
There was no way, so Jia Baoyu could only follow. Together with Xue Pan, he listened to the gossips of the officials present and was always paying attention to possible opportunities.
His so-called study tour was essentially to come to Jinling to see Daiyu, but he has never been able to get his wish. , His heart felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching him.
However, he didn’t know that Brother Xue, who had been entertaining him thoughtfully recently, was also focusing most of his attention on him, just to prevent him from doing anything inappropriate. .
“Brother, your Uncle Lin has passed away, you should prepare to write a memorial ceremony! "Xue Pan reminded.
Although Jia Baoyu is now much more "steady", he still doesn't care much about these general affairs. At this moment, he casually said: "Brother Xue, I don't understand any of this!" "
"You can learn if you don't understand. I'll send someone to follow you and get things quickly, otherwise it would be outrageous for you to come empty-handed! "
"But I...I am really...poor! "Jia Baoyu looked embarrassed.
He really didn't bring much money, and now that he has been removed from the Jia family, it is difficult for him to go to the Jia family's ancestral home to pay money.
"I'll borrow it That’s you! "Xue Pan said cheerfully.
"Thank you, Brother Xue! "Jia Baoyu stood up and said.
Then Jia Baoyu was sent out of the Lin family, and Xue Pan had the opportunity to talk to the officials in the hall..
About two days later, news of the Lin family reached Tongzhou, and Zhu Jinghong was at the Tongzhou Pier.
The reason why he came here was not to check the Jinling Navy for a second time, but because the Liaodong Navy had arrived.
The admiral of the Liaodong Navy, Zhao Chengwu, is reporting the situation to Zhu Jinghong at the moment. They came from Liaodong and experienced many dangers.
"It's a good thing that we arrived safely. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Jinghong praised. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
