Chapter 208 Promotion
Li Shao's eyes were calm, and he said in a calm manner, "Returning to the emperor, my son thinks that people make the best use of their talents and things. Mr. Mu has served as a military supervisor in Jincheng for many years, and has also supervised the mining of iron mines. I have a deep understanding of manufacturing, and I have a unique vision for the convenience of material selection, and Lord Mu also thinks that Master Mu is suitable, so I think that Master Mu is the best candidate to be the Minister of the Ministry of War."

What the prince said was orderly and reasonable. Compared with the reasons recommended by the third prince, everyone felt that Master Mu Wu was more suitable after hearing it.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in art, and Master Mu San works in the Ministry of Etiquette, so he has nothing to do with it, and the comparison is indeed inappropriate.

Several ministers stood up to support the prince.

On the Golden Luan Hall, the third prince and the crown prince stood on one side.

Xihuang looked at the two young men, his eyes fell on the prince unconsciously, and he always felt that he was becoming more and more indifferent to him. Although he looked the same as before, and it made people angry, but his eyes now looked very much like the queen's. His eyes were filled with disappointment.

Thinking of him made my heart feel stuffy, so I said, "As the prince wants, I will play."

Hearing this, Li Shao was a little surprised, but it was only for a moment, his eyes returned to calm and indifferent, without any other expression, he cupped his hands and retreated to his position to stand still, and the next thing is not to raise opinions, let the third prince go to show his strength , watching with cold eyes the whole time.

In the palace, the Fifth Madam and the others were planning to pack up their things and prepare to return to Jincheng, but at this time there was news that the Fifth Lord was promoted.

The minister of the Ministry of War, a third-rank official, has been promoted to four ranks in a row.

This is something that others dare not even think about. The third master is also a third-rank now, but from the third-rank, he wanted to go to the first level, so he sharpened his head and went to the military department.

The fifth lady was so startled that she hadn't recovered yet, but the girl said happily, "Congratulations, madam."

Beiyuan girls, women, servants and others all said congratulations, and the fifth lady was also very happy when they heard that.

Everyone is happy to stay in the capital.

Although Jincheng is good, it is incomparable compared to the capital city and the palace.

"Well, there's no need to clean up. Let's go down and give two taels of silver to each person."

Hearing this, Beiyuan burst into joy.

The fifth master will come back as soon as he goes to court.

"master."

The fifth lady stepped forward with tenderness and joy between her brows.

The fifth master helped her to sit down, and signaled the girl and others to retreat, leaving only the husband and wife.

Seeing his seriousness, the fifth lady frowned slightly, and said, "Master, what's the matter?" Isn't it a good thing to be promoted?
The fifth master looked at her and said, "I didn't expect to succeed, but the prince suddenly recommended me."

Hearing this, the fifth lady's complexion changed slightly. She used to be the daughter of Shangshu anyway, she knew a little bit about affairs in court, and had experienced what happened after the failure to seize the heir apparent, so she was very afraid of her husband being involved in this struggle.

The fifth master held her hand and said, "The crown prince and the third highness are fighting fiercely. The crown prince suddenly recommended me to win over Prince Mu's mansion. The ultimate goal is the prince's military power. I'm just a springboard. Nothing will happen. do not worry."

Fifth Madam smiled bitterly, knowing in her heart that he was just comforting herself, how could it be okay?
As the Mu family members and Mu Wangfu's broken tibia, how could they stay out of this matter?

In the past, the prince and the others were just trying to win over the big house, but now the rest of the palace is getting involved.

The Prince Mu's Mansion is too powerful and favored by the emperor, which can almost determine the position of the future crown prince, and getting involved in it is unavoidable.

He knew all about the five masters, but they had no choice, sighed secretly, and instructed, "Anyway, this time, the prince and the princess have helped us a lot, if they stay in the capital, they will take care of the princess more in the future. "

Fifth Madam nodded, "Well, I know, I think what the princess means, it seems that he wants to fight for the right to be a housekeeper."

She wants to fight Concubine Gu, or she wants to get rid of Concubine Gu.

Master Wu frowned, he didn't expect the princess to be so thoughtful at such a young age, "Xiao Wu is a smart kid, and he does things properly, you can do what you see, we can't just tolerate it."

They hadn't fought or robbed for so many years, but they still didn't settle. Instead, they were bullied by the other three rooms. Last time, the fourth girl came to Beiyuan to beat the sixth girl, which made the fifth master very angry.

He couldn't bear it anymore.

After the two chatted for a while, a girl came to report that the old concubine invited them over.

The two looked at each other, needless to say, they knew what the old concubine wanted them to do.

The fifth master snatched the third master's official position, and he must be dissatisfied.

The old concubine favors the third wife, and she is afraid that they will inevitably make things difficult for the fifth bedroom in the future.

...

In Chenxiangyuan, the third lady was crying, and the third master was sitting aside with an ugly face.

The fifth master and the others came, and everyone in the room didn't like them.

The old concubine looked at the two wives with cold eyes, and she couldn't like the concubine.

Just as she was about to reprimand, the girl said, "The little princess is here."

The old concubine frowned, and glanced at the young girl who walked in, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Mu Jiuqing came in, saluted, found a seat, sat down, picked up the teacup, and drank tea in an orderly manner.

Wherever she sits, it gives people a pressure, like a mountain.

The old concubine's sharp eyes flickered, and for some reason she was a little timid, so she didn't want to reprimand Wufang too much.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

At this time, Mu Mingzhu, who was sitting on the side, looked at her and said with a smile, "I don't usually see Fifth Sister coming to Shenxiangyuan to say hello, so why come here today?"

Mu Jiuqing raised her eyes to look at her, her almond eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm not as cute as big sister, and I also want to come every day to greet the old concubine, but the old concubine had something to say before, so she wouldn't let me come."

Mu Mingzhu's face was slightly stiff, and she smiled, "You were unwell a few days ago, and grandma loves you, so she doesn't want you to run back and forth."

Glancing at the old concubine with a faintly ugly face, Mu Jiuqing's lips curled up, stopped talking and took a sip from the teacup, glanced at the crying woman, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Third Aunt?"

The third lady stared coldly at the fifth master and his wife, and said angrily, "It's not your fifth younger brother who actually snatched the master's opportunity and the position of the Minister of War. It’s fine if you lose to others, but I didn’t expect to cheat my brother.”

He wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and felt aggrieved for the third master.

The third master sat aside and kept silent, which meant he agreed with his wife's words.

It is inconvenient for him to say these things, but luckily he has a daughter-in-law who can speak well.

The fifth master's face changed slightly, he looked at the third master, and said, "Third brother, don't get me wrong, I really didn't know that the crown prince would suddenly recommend me."

The fifth master was used to forbearance, so he subconsciously said this.

The third master's eyes darkened, and he smiled, "Don't say that, fifth brother, it's your honor to be appreciated by the prince."

I snorted coldly in my heart, if I never thought about earning money with him, I went out to socialize every day recently, what are all kinds of relationships for?
He hadn't taken him seriously before.

I didn't expect that he still had the ability to catch up with the prince.

The third lady said in a strange way, "Fifth brother is really good at joking. If you hadn't looked for the prince, how could the prince recommend you?"

Seeing the behavior of the third lady, the fifth lady sneered, "Sister-in-law, my master is naturally better than the third brother, how can the crown prince like my master? Even if he wants to win over Prince Mu's mansion, he will find third brother or fourth brother in the palace." , my master is the most useless, he can't give the prince any help, so go to the prince's side, the prince will look down on my master."
