One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 262

Ordinary people are often honest; extraordinary people are often tossing.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Princess Taihe, who has been punished by military authority and grounded, is in the limelight recently.

Let's talk about the wine glass with black border and red bottom first, which is the auspicious color chosen by her ancestors.Xuan is respected, red is second, and other variegated colors are all middle and low grade.Fortunately for her, she directly switched to the five-element color serving utensils, and black and red became the matching colors instead.

No wonder, after all, she is a strange woman who dared to melt the imperial seal that has been passed down for thousands of years directly into hairpins. What is it to overthrow the habits of her ancestors?
To be honest, it is a good thing for the new dynasty that Beicang has forgotten his ancestors several times.

Besides, the eighteen sons should be regarded as her filial piety, and the selection of materials is not too harsh.Even if it's the glazed pen holder, it's just a pen holder, not a clothes hanger, so why not make a batch for her?

But her demands became more and more excessive, and she summoned a master craftsman to build a dressing room next to the dormitory.To put it vulgarly, as soon as she came out of the respectful place, that is, the hut, she built the stinky hut next to the bedroom, thanks to her thinking of it!
The master craftsman is very busy every day. He has to be responsible for the civil construction of palaces, ancestral temples, mausoleums, etc., let alone princesses with different surnames. Usually, even when King Qing and Lord Hou call him, he has to push back and forth. of.

If it weren't for her honor of being the emperor of Yitong, he wouldn't even be in the mood to show his face in the palace.

Knowing that it was a remodeled dressing room, the room was not only not smelly but also fragrant, and I deeply felt that she had insulted his intelligence.On the pretext that Zong Bo called him to have important matters to discuss with him, he was not free, and another Ling Cheng was sent to perfunctoryly settle the matter.

As the officials who impeached her said, the top beam is not right and the bottom beam is crooked.When the great craftsman returned to the official office and brought up the matter, he was contemptuous, and let Ling Cheng deal with it as he pleased.

If Shangfeng's attitude is still like this, Ling Cheng will naturally not have too much enthusiasm for Yuan Zhao.

He dealt with it absent-mindedly for a day, and the next day he made an excuse that something had happened to the matter he had been doing for the nobles in the palace, and he wanted to take a look.The things Her Royal Highness ordered are quite difficult, and if you can't rush, you need to figure them out slowly.

If he is really in a hurry, he can recommend a small official from the general's mansion to come and wait for his dispatch.

To say that he is a small official means that he is of average ability and inconspicuous in a manor filled with talents.Put it in the folk, it is also an excellent craftsman with top skills, and it will definitely not miss the business of Her Royal Highness.

I don't know if this princess has self-knowledge or is just messing around, she doesn't seem to care that they only send a small official to perfuse herself.

All in all, after the little official went to the Princess Mansion, he stayed there to toss about.It is said that in order to please the princess, this person specially recruited a group of craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship from the people to work in the mansion.

There is no way, with the great craftsman's attitude, no craftsman in the Young Master's Mansion would dare to go to the Princess Mansion to help.Although Jiang Zuo is affiliated with the Shaofu, Yan Shaofu never interferes with the arrangements of the various departments, and also wants to avoid suspicion, and ignores this matter.

If the little official wants to fulfill the princess' wish, he can only recruit people from the people.

Originally, outsiders should not know what happened in the Princess Mansion.If it spreads to the outside, it means that the people in the mansion are either talking badly or making secrets, deliberately exaggerating the affairs of the princess mansion, and pouring dirty water on the master's head.

Of course, it is also possible that the various departments complained about the order of the Dongping Lane Princess Mansion.For example, the master craftsman has been laughing at his whims in front of his colleagues since the day he was summoned.

If there is one, there will be two, the maker of the wine glass, the maker of the pen holder... one after another, these trivial things were spread.

It was originally an anecdote after dinner, but it was another trick in the ears of those who cared.

Soon, the rumors changed, and some people began to say that the operation of the master in Dongping Lane was not whimsical, but an excuse to vent his dissatisfaction with the emperor and the courtiers.

Gossip spread in Beijing and reached the ears of the officials.At the beginning, Yuan Zhao beat them to pieces in the court, but now that the opportunity to fight back came, the officials would not let it go, and directly reported to the new emperor.

In fact, the emperor knew more or less about the gossip in Beijing.Even if the officials didn't say anything, those princes and princesses had already told the Queen Mothers about Yuan Zhao's quarrel as fun.

The emperor had heard a little about it at the time, so he didn't care too much.It wasn't until the Yanguan spoke sharply in the court hall that he accused Yuan Zhao of being dissatisfied with the new emperor, so he made a fuss on purpose. If he was not punished, he would be indulged into trouble sooner or later.

That's when I started to worry.

But for this matter to punish Yuan Zhao again, the new emperor was quite unwilling, and rejected the counselor's advice on the grounds of "making a big deal out of a molehill" in the court.

It was not her fault that Yuan Zhao set foot in the court, but she let her go.

Afterwards, when the courtiers used public opinion to fight back, she did not hesitate to take the blame on herself.Not only was he deprived of military power, but he was also banned from the palace.The courtiers still didn't give up, and lashed out at her for a little thing.

Arousing the rebellious sentiment of the new emperor, the courtiers insisted on her death, but he would not do what they wanted.

But when I returned to the palace, I couldn't help worrying about gains and losses...

In the evening, after returning from her filial piety, Empress Jiang came to Qinzheng Hall as usual to persuade the new emperor to rest.The Taizu Emperor and the late Emperor both worked hard and died young. The Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces asked her to urge His Majesty to combine work and rest.

She has always been virtuous and has ideas in everything, so the new Emperor Fengqiu asked casually:
"Queen, what do you think about this matter?"

Empress Jiang was stunned for a moment, then apologized:
"Your Majesty, the matter is about Taihe, no matter how big or small it is, it is the government of the court, and the ministers and concubines dare not speak rashly."

"As a member of the royal family, Taihe has the right to ask whether her words and deeds are appropriate. As a queen, you have the right to ask, but it's okay." The new emperor flicked his sleeves and went back to sit down in front of the royal case.

Although Yuan Zhao is a general, he is a woman after all. The empress who is also a woman may have a different understanding from the courtiers about the meaning of her words and deeds.

After the emperor asked, Empress Jiang straightened her expression and said gently:
"Since this is the case, the concubine dared to think that Taihe had been busy with military affairs before, so it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable suddenly. Just like the elders in the concubine clan, they have worked hard all their lives. After resigning from important duties, they would rather go to work in the fields than be idle.

She is still young, how can she bear the boring taste of being grounded?It is inevitable to find something to pass the time, so there is no need to be too strict with her words and deeds. "

"Well, that's right," the new emperor was overjoyed after hearing this, and praised her greatly, "It's still Wanniang who sees it clearly, unlike those courtiers who want to put Ah Zhao to death with biased words, which is unfair."

Received his sincere approval, Empress Jiang couldn't help smiling.

His Majesty will seek her opinion and worry about this matter. Apart from disapproving of the concerns of the courtiers, he also has certain doubts about Yuan Zhao's words and deeds.

But he chose to believe in Yuan Zhao in his heart, and in order to prove that he was right, he asked her, the first wife.

What he wants is not negation, but affirmation.

As a queen, she is his first wife. If she agrees with the courtiers, it is tantamount to betrayal.

"... I heard that the dressing room in the Taihe mansion is already under construction, which proves that it is not a nonsense. If the courtiers refuse to accept, when the grand banquet in the palace is held, His Majesty will call Taihe to ask about the progress. It's not too late for her to commit a mischief."

The crime of nonsense is much less serious than the crime of disobedience.

Not only can the courtiers have nothing to say, but it can also relieve the emperor's doubts.Whether the crime is light or heavy depends on the emperor's mood, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Then follow what Wanniang said." The new emperor nodded happily, looking at Empress Jiang with tender eyes.

"Your Majesty may have come to a conclusion long ago, so I just let my concubine say it. I dare not take credit for it." Empress Jiang said humbly, and then urged, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should rest."

Being affirmed, Xindi was delighted.

The cold night was cold, and the emperor and empress walked together with great affection. The atmosphere in the palace was as warm as spring.
