The fourth concubine and the eighth concubine were both upset when they saw Chang Xi's rising tide, but the fourth concubine was more open-minded, and her husband became a minister, so she would not have a heavy psychological burden to curry favor with Chang Xi, but The Eighth Prince and Concubine couldn't let go of her figure, so she could only knock on the wooden fish a few more times a day to calm down the gap.

The closer the time to return to Beijing, the greater the difference in mood between the two.

The eighth concubine and the fourth concubine said worryingly in private: "Sister-in-law four, I don't know what to expect. I don't know what will happen when I go back?"

The fourth concubine didn't know what to say, and she couldn't predict what would happen to the eighth prince after he was captured, but she still comforted the other party, "We still have to think in a better direction, after all, until now, we are all Treated with courtesy..."

The eighth prince concubine sneered, thinking that the fourth sister-in-law was deceiving herself and others, who among the servants who were waiting was not the one who monitored their every move? "Fourth sister-in-law, we have to find a way to save ourselves..."

Before the eighth siblings could finish speaking, the fourth prince and concubine got up and left, "Eighth siblings, if you want to die, go by yourself, don't drag me, I still have children to take care of."

She's not so stupid, she was bewitched by these eight younger siblings to do stupid things, and she wanted to use her as a weapon, what kind of dream was she doing?

Seeing the fourth sister-in-law leaving mercilessly, the eighth concubine was so angry that she pursed her lips and cursed, "Bitch."

Fortunately, she is still the daughter of a great Confucian, in her opinion, the weakest one is this fourth sister-in-law, who will curry favor with anyone who gains power, and be a fool, she bah!
These trivial conversations soon reached Chang Xi's ears, and she said embarrassingly, "Miss Chang, do you want to show the Eighth Prince Concubine some color?"

They have all become prisoners, and still want to make trouble?The eighth concubine is destined to have no good fruit to eat.

Chang Xi waved her hand, "Don't pay attention to her, she's just a grasshopper after autumn, she won't be able to jump around for a few days, let her go."

Hearing that, the head of the servant was stunned at first, and then realized that Chang Xi couldn't afford to argue with this prisoner, and that's right, few normal people like to torment others, and only the grieving women in the palace love this kind of thing the most, so Chao Changxi bowed respectfully, answered "Yes", and retreated.

After everything was ready, Chang Xi arranged the daily affairs of the workshop, and immediately set off with everyone to take a boat to Beijing by water.

For the safety of the people on this boat, Zhao Jin sent a team of Xinshenji Battalion to escort them.

However, before boarding the ship, Chang Xi received a letter sent by her scumbag father who sent her all the way. She didn't read the letter, so she handed it to Wei Shi, "Mother, a letter from the mighty Marquis Mansion in the capital."

Wei took it with a frown, opened it impatiently, and looked at the ten lines. The last letter wanted to lure their mother and daughter back to Beijing as hostages, but this letter played the emotional card, talking about his helplessness in the capital. Because the old mother was taken hostage by the rebellious officials and thieves, he had no choice but to do something against his will, now he asks their mother and daughter not to argue with him, and must go back to Beijing to save the Hou's mansion to save Yunyun.

"brazen."

She was so angry that she tore up the letter to pieces, it made her eyes hurt when she read it.

Chang Xi comforted her, "Mother calm down, there is no need to be angry with such dead people. When he returns to Beijing this time, he should be guilty of whatever crime he is. He will not follow the law in this matter." This is her manner.

Although Wei Shi felt relieved when he heard this, he couldn't help worrying, "Will it affect your brother?"

"My mother's words are wrong. To deal with the accomplices of rebellious officials and thieves in accordance with the law, it is natural to report to the public for credit. I believe that the eldest grandson has a steelyard in his heart. We don't need to say more about this matter."

After hearing these words, the Wei family thought it made sense, her son had made a lot of contributions, and naturally he would not lose to others in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, so she was relieved, and the maid helped her onto the boat.

Just as Chang Xi turned around and was about to arrange for the fourth concubine and the eighth concubine to board the boat, she saw the Xie family rushing over. This time, the old man Xie and the old lady Rong, as well as the fourth master Xie and the Qin family, came to Beijing. The others stayed in Yiyang and would not go to the capital to attend Zhao Jin's enthronement ceremony.

She didn't put on airs, she was a junior, and stepped forward to greet several people.

With a smile, Rong quickly stepped forward to help her up, "Miss Chang, there is no need to be so polite."

"The old lady is an elder, so she wants it." Chang Xiji said to the old lady with a face.

When Rong heard this, she was in a good mood, and it was not in vain that she had a good relationship with Chang Xi back then, so she exchanged a few words with Chang Xi before boarding the boat.

The Qin family showed a stiff smile at Chang Xi, and without saying anything, she helped Nanny Zhong get on the boat.

Master Xie Si didn't get on the boat immediately, but stayed to discuss safety issues with Chang Xi on the way. After all, the battle for the heirloom had just come to an end, but it is not ruled out that there are fish who slipped through the net and wanted to play tricks, so this journey is probably not Taiping, so he wanted to communicate with Chang Xi on this point.

Chang Xi pointed to the group of people holding the new-style blunderbuss and said to Mr. Xie Si, "The power of this blunderbuss is far beyond your old imagination. Don't worry, it's better than ordinary swords. If someone else is arranged I may still be worried about one or two things, and I will be sure when I send them here."

When the captain of the new Shenji Battalion heard Chang Xi's words, he immediately laughed and came over to greet Chang Xi to reconcile the fourth master. He can be regarded as the figure of the emperor's teacher, so he didn't dare to take the big in front of the two of them.

However, he still admired Chang Xi the most, and said after seeing the ceremony, "Chang Niangzi, this bird gun is really useful, especially the design with the addition of bursts and safety rings, it is even better, but the accuracy is still a bit lacking. It's not easy to become a sharpshooter..."

Chang Xi listened carefully to the captain's words of praise and criticism, and nodded immediately, "Your feedback is very important, and this point will be improved in the follow-up design. Later, I will suggest that the eldest grandson be a bird in the Shenji Camp." Survey on the use of guns, listen to more opinions from everyone, after all, you are using it, and you may understand its advantages and disadvantages better than the designer himself..."

The team's eyes flickered when they heard it, and Chang Xi's words reached his heart. No one knew better than themselves how much contribution the new Shenji camp had made in this succession.

"That's good, all the brothers have ideas, but they don't know how to respond upwards..."

The two chatted very enthusiastically about this issue, while the fourth master Xie frowned slightly. The issue that could be ignored before has now become an issue that has to be faced squarely, that is, the issue of women's interference in politics.

Chang Xi crossed the line in his eyes. Thinking that she will be the concubine who will always accompany the king in the future, his brows frowned even tighter. It seems that after entering Beijing, he had to advise Zhao Jin to restrict Chang Xi's qualifications to participate in politics. It is best to be a husband and a child in the backyard.

Master Xie Si was as quiet as a chicken, and Chang Xi turned his head slightly to see him frowning in thought. This expression was directed at her, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart instantly.

Want to unload the grind and kill the donkey, how can there be such a good and cheap thing?

She never let down her vigilance against the so-called sages and sages of this era. These people have read a lot of so-called sage books, and their brains are rusted. In their minds, women are only worthy of husbands and children, and not worthy of participating in and discussing politics with them, and there is even a saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

Slightly frowned, she wasn't arguing with Mr. Xie Si at this time, everything would be known by the capital.

Life is endless, and struggles are naturally endless. At this moment, she ignited a strong fighting spirit, and instead had a good chat with the people in Xinshenji Camp. She wanted to add more chips to herself, so that she could remain invincible.

Master Xie Si didn't realize that Chang Xi had already understood his thoughts, and really couldn't understand the woman's behavior, so he turned around and boarded the ship.

Chang Xi saw it out of the corner of his eye, and sneered disdainfully, no matter what time it is, a sour scholar is a sour man.

The last one who rushed over was Yuan Hao who was very thin. Seeing that he was wearing plain clothes at this time, it seemed that he had heard the news of his father's death. He came to Beijing this time to attend the funeral.

Ever since that farewell, Chang Xi hadn't seen Yuan Hao again. After the war, they had always been in touch with each other by letters. After all, Yuan Hao had to cover up the overseas shipment of food into the Dayu Kingdom.

"My lord, my condolences."

Seeing Chang Xi this time, Yuan Hao calmed down a lot. He was no longer the frivolous person he was when he first met her. He nodded solemnly, "Ms. Chang has a heart."

The two boarded the boat side by side. Yuan Hao wanted to help, but seeing that Chang Xi was walking steadily, he silently withdrew his half-stretched hand.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Chang Xi waved to the people on the shore to see them off. This time, she was quite excited when she entered Beijing. This was the first time she had the opportunity to stand in the center of power since she crossed. How could she not be excited?
Yuan Hao looked at her beautiful side face, and said with a slight eyebrow, "Have you thought about what kind of position you want to occupy next to Ziyang?"

Hearing this, Chang Xi asked without answering, "What does Master Yuan think?"

"You are the undoubted candidate for the second place." Yuan Hao said seriously, "But there will definitely be people who don't have good eyesight jumping out to pick peaches, Mrs. Chang, you have to be careful."

And he will definitely help her, but it is not appropriate to say this, otherwise it will change the taste, this is the first time and will be the only time he is attracted to a woman, so he can't see anyone trampling on her to climb to a high position.

"Did Mr. Yuan receive any news in advance?" Chang Xi was not complacent about choosing a few words for the next candidate. From the beginning to the end, she was very clear about what she wanted, and what did she do with the labels others put on her?
But if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never end in a hundred battles, and she doesn't mind inquiring about the news in advance.

Yuan Hao shook his head, "There are too many people who have this plan. As far as I know, many honorable families want to send their daughters into the harem, not to mention the upstarts who emerged from this battle for the heir apparent. Do you want to do this? Of course, as for status, those who are capable will naturally want to be the next position, and those who are not capable will not stick to any position. Anyway, being able to accompany you is the most important thing."

If the status is low, you can still be promoted. The high status will naturally suppress the low ones. After all, the harem will never be peaceful.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chang Xi with some worry and some regret. This road is not easy to walk. It's a pity that her full of talent has been locked in the deep palace and never see the light of day.
