White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 203 The Daily Life of the Eastern Palace: To Finish

Linglan felt very strange.

Since she came to the East Palace, her girl kept the habit of being in the Duke's Mansion, and she was still not required to serve her at night.

But the huge sleeping hall can't be the same as in Qinghui hall, there is not even a guard of the hall.

So no matter what the night, there are a few maids waiting outside the palace.

But when she came back this morning, she heard that the palace servants, big and small, were all dismissed last night, and none were left behind.

Until His Highness the Crown Prince left the palace in the early morning, a group of people didn't know whether they should enter the palace or not, and they were all waiting for her to come back and go in to find out.

When she went in, she saw her own girl lying on the bed, her eyes were red, if not for the maids who said that His Highness looked in a good mood when he left, she would have thought that the two had quarreled again.

"Go... go and dismantle the swing outside!" Before she could ask, Wen Ning reprimanded her in a low voice, her voice still a little hoarse.

The girl in her family likes to sit on the swing and bask in the sun the most. My uncle moved here from the Duke's mansion.

Why did Hao Duan Duan dismantle it?

Without waiting for her to ask, Wen Ning reprimanded again in a low voice: "Pornography!"

Linglan: Silver things?
The swing is either made of wood or straw ropes. Where did the silver come from?
Linglan was completely dazed, before she could react, her arm was grabbed by Wen Ning: "Linglan, you must..."

Choose a good husband-in-law!

Your girl, I have suffered a lot because of you!
"Girl, what is this..."

Wen Ning had already covered her head with the quilt before she finished speaking: "I'll catch up on it, you go and dismantle that swing and throw it away! I don't want to see it again!"

In this way, the most "favored" swing in the East Palace disappeared inexplicably.

Of course, no one cares about this small change.

Because in a few days, there was an exciting news from the palace.

It is said that His Royal Highness said that the spring is long, and when the muscles and bones are loosened, the civil servants and generals of the East Palace are specially allowed to have a Cuju competition.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in charge of the East Palace for a whole year. Except when facing the Crown Princess, he has always been deep and cold. How has he ever said such a thing?
And the cuju competition!
Just think about it, it is very lively!
The little ladies in the East Palace were all very excited.

Who doesn't like to see young princes in the arena, sweating profusely? !
Wen Ning was very satisfied with Pei You's efficiency, and didn't care about whether he was on a swing or not.

She also loves to see so many young masters!

He secretly looked for Gu Fei and told him to arrange all the young masters on the small portrait.

But I didn't want this competition to be far more lively than imagined.

It is probably because there have been a lot of things in Beijing in recent years, and there has not been such an easy game for a long time, or it may be that there are too many people who want to curry favor with His Highness the Crown Prince.

As soon as the news of the East Palace Cuju competition spread, the sons and daughters of various officials and aristocratic families sent posts one after another, expressing their desire to join in the fun and join in.

"Okay!" Wen Ning was very generous, "When the time comes, we will be on one team, and they will be on one team. The two sides will have their preliminary rounds respectively, and then we will have a final together. Wouldn't it be better?"

Who wouldn't love to have more dudes to watch? !
"Since all the young masters are here, why not invite all the girls and wives from every family as well."

Wen Ning's calculations continued to rattle.

On such a beautiful spring day, it would be interesting to call Duan Rushuang and He Luan to watch it together!

"As long as you don't bother."

This game was originally saved for her, and Pei You naturally wouldn't object to Wen Ning's idea.

"No trouble, no trouble!"

She is worried that she has nothing to do!
In this way, what was originally a competition within the Eastern Palace turned into a grand event in the entire capital led by the Eastern Palace.

Wen Ning asked Pei You to call Gu Fei to her, and the matter was quickly settled.

There used to be quite a small archery field in the East Palace, but with a little modification, it would be perfect for a Cuju field.

Wen Ning asked people to imitate the Colosseum where they watched the circus last time, and made many stands nearby, which looked good.

As for the competition system, those Wen Ning outside the palace don't care, how to decide the most powerful team is their own business.

In the East Palace, civil servants and generals draw lots and form teams at random.

Wen Ning set aside half a month for them to practice and adapt.

In addition, she went to Pei You's warehouse to pick out eleven night pearls.

Since it's a competition, there must be a lottery, right?
At that time, the winning team will have one person, which is fair and decent.

Wen Ning was preparing enthusiastically on the other side, and the competition schedule was also set.

The finals are scheduled for the tenth day of April, and the preliminary rounds within the Eastern Palace will be after the daily off-duty.

For this reason, she approached Pei You again, and specially allowed all the officials to come on duty half an hour earlier this month.

Everything is ready, the only thing left is to start the game!

The day before the preliminary round, Wen Qi actually came to her and said that he also wanted to play cuju, but he didn't get the lottery, and asked her, his younger sister, to let her through the back door.

Wen Ning refused without hesitation.

He didn't draw lots, didn't she arrange it on purpose?
He already has sister Rushuang, so he still wants to show off on this occasion? !
On the day of the preliminary round, Wen Ning geared up to dress up Linglan beautifully, and then stuffed all the miniatures into her sleeves.

At that time, the little statue and the person will meet, so it is convenient to ask Gu Fei for information.

Finally passed noon, and was about to take Linglan to the Cuju field, when Pei You sent someone over.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness invites you to the meeting hall."

Go to the council hall at this time?
He won't... want to go see it with her?

Wen Ning didn't want him to go at all.

He went, how would she discuss with Linglan which man seemed more desirable?
But in this Cuju competition, Pei You really contributed a lot.

Wen Ning thought about it, forget it, as a human being, you can't be ungrateful and tear down bridges.

Ask Linglan to wait for her at the Cuju field, and she followed the palace servants to the meeting hall.

The officials in the meeting hall did not disperse.

Wen Ning glanced silently.

The leader is Gu Fei's immediate boss, and he is the most like-minded with Pei You... Bah, the like-minded Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi is also the second place in the ranking, Liu Ye, who earned 5000 taels for her back then.

Behind him were three officials from Zhan Shifu, whom Wen Ning also recognized.

There was another person beside him, Pei You's former immediate boss, Minister of Industry Zhang Guozhang.

Several people have long been accustomed to the prince leading her, the princess, into and out of the meeting hall.

Wen Ning was also sensible, and after meeting the ceremony politely, she went to wait on the low couch in the side hall.

It was always like this when she came here before, Pei You was discussing matters, and she was reading the script by herself.

But today she has been thinking about the game outside, and she has no interest in reading the book.

Pretending to turn over, resting his chin to look out of the window.

It is inevitable to hear what they are discussing.

It will be summer in a few months, and the middle and lower reaches of the Chu River will be prone to flooding in summer.

Emperor Jiahe handed over the task of strengthening the embankment to Pei You this year.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was also there, and several people discussed where and who should start to strengthen the embankment.

While listening, Wen Ning's mind was wandering.

Pei You said that he dreamed of his whole life in three days, but he didn't know if the dream was detailed enough?

In the summer of Jiahe's 18th year, there was only the Xuanping Rebellion, but no floods.

However, it is not a bad thing to do it every year to strengthen the embankment.

Wen Ning was thinking idly, and subconsciously glanced at Kelou.

The game starts now!

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I need to invite Mr. Zhao to discuss the budget here." Zhang Guozhang just said.

When it came to the budget, the Master Zhao he was talking about must be Zhao Zhai, Minister of the Household Department.

Wen Ning was overjoyed, Zhao Zhai is not here, it's time to end, let's talk tomorrow?

Not wanting Pei You to raise her voice, she said to the outside of the hall: "Fourteen, go to the household department to pick up Mr. Zhao."

Wen Ning breathed out.

Go to the household department to pick up people, and they will discuss it again. What time is it?

No, I can't wait any longer.

She has been looking forward to it for a long time!

Wen Ning kept her composure, watching those people start discussing again, she moved quietly...to the side door of the side hall.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot going on every day, so of course she shouldn't be bothered, just sneak out.

Before the man reached the door, he heard a call from behind: "Ma'am."

Pei You said in a rather gentle voice, "Make a cup of tea."

Wen Ning: "..."

I had no choice but to go back to the low couch, pour him a cup of tea and send it over.

Seeing this, everyone is used to it, and the discussion has not stopped.

Zhang Guozhang: "Your Majesty will go to this matter personally. Lin Shilang has quite a lot of experience in this matter, and he has personally done it in previous years."

Liu Ye: "Since it is an errand entrusted to the East Palace by His Majesty, there is no reason why it should be entrusted to the Ministry of Industry. Mr. Zhang, how about Wen Fucheng of Zhan Shifu and Lin Shilang going together?"

Wen Ning put down the teacup, turned around and wanted to leave.

Pei You grabbed his wrist.

The table case happened to block the movement of the two of them, Wen Ning frowned and winked at him: What are you doing?I'll take a step first, the game is about to start!

Pei You glanced at the empty chair next to her and motioned her to sit down.

No!

The game starts now.

Today's preliminary competition is the most complete day for the men on the statue.

Pei You narrowed her eyes.

It's fine if he's present, but if he's not present, she still wants to join the crowd of men?
Wen Ning wanted to shake her hand.

Pei You clasped it even tighter.

"Of course it would be best if Zhan Shifu has someone to go with him." Zhang Guozhang said to the superior, "I don't know what your Highness wants?"

Pei Youruo withdrew his gaze nonchalantly: "Yes."

Wen Ning took the opportunity to grab it hard, but she didn't want Pei You to buckle it not as tight as before, but it seemed that she was too hard, and there was a snap——

He threw the small statue in his sleeve to the ground.

Fortunately, the small portraits were all rolled up, so Wen Ning hurriedly went to pick them up.

But the palace door was pushed open at this moment: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao is here."

As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind rushed in.

"Hey..." Wen Ning was about to pick it up, but unexpectedly, an evil wind blew the stack of small statues into pieces.

So all the people in the meeting hall waited, and saw a stack of papers suddenly thrown out of their princess's sleeves.

A gust of wind blew up the paper.

All kinds of men are painted on it.

Suave, elegant, honest, honest...

It seems... they are all subordinates of the Eastern Palace?

Several lines of sight looked at Wen Ning at the same time.

The hairs all over Wen Ning's body were about to stand on end, when he heard the person next to him throw down the official document in his hand: "Heh."

Wen Ning: Yes, over.
