Chapter 213 The Battle of Words
The incident of the tank boat accident spread widely in Kyoto within a few days. After all, this kind of incident cannot be covered up. It is really a big deal.The one who bears the brunt of impeachment the most is Dong Yunji, who is urging the army to pay and rations in the south. The most important thing is that Dong Yunji is so urgent.

This matter involved several interests. Salt affairs, water transportation, military pay, and sea transportation were all intertwined. When the incident became serious, the capital became more and more strangely quiet.Under such circumstances, no one is willing to be the first person to stand out. Behind Dong Yunji are the Marquis of Bei'an, Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and Prince Jing's Mansion. They can complain to the emperor in the booklet, but they dare not openly In court, one is one and two is two to compete with others.

Entering the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huiyu knew that she might not live in peace today, so she woke up early in the morning.

When Ji Qiyu heard the movement of the person next to her pillow, she opened her eyes, "What time is it?"

Huiyu opened the tent and glanced outside at the hourglass, then turned around and said to him, "It's the first hour of Mao, there's no delay, get up quickly."

Ji Qiyu sat up and watched Huiyu get out of bed with her clothes on, and he also got up.It's time for the first time, and there is really no time to delay, he said while putting on his clothes, "It seems that I just closed my eyes and then opened them again, have you slept well?"

Huiyu put on her underwear and nodded, "I went to bed earlier than you. It was midnight when you came back last night. You can go in the sedan chair later, and you can squat in the sedan chair for a while."

Ji Qiyu shook his head, "No need, it's not a problem." If he entered the palace in a sedan chair and his brothers found out, he would die of laughter.

Huiyu didn't force it when he heard him say this. Sometimes men and women's brain circuits are not in the same line. You can't make men think according to women's thinking, and women can't understand men's behavior sometimes.Anyway, as long as you are happy, it is fine, imposing what you think is good on others may not be what others want. If there is a conflict because of this, each will feel wronged, and the escalation into a conflict will not be worth the loss.

No matter when, everyone needs to have their own independent space.

After Huiyu put on a complete set of crown clothes, she suddenly felt that her body weighed several kilograms. These cloaks, inside and out, are really a bit terribly hot in this kind of weather.

After the two of them cleaned up, they quickly sat down to eat. Time was a little too late, so they slowed down a bit. Then they took a sip of soup and pressed down, and started to go out.Sister Zhao was too young, so Huiyu would definitely not bring her into the palace, so she let Mother Zhong watch over her.Grandma You still took care of the affairs in the mansion, so Huiyu took the two maids and followed Ji Qiyu out.The carriage was ready a long time ago, and Huiyu stepped on the pedals to get on the carriage. When she opened the curtain, she saw that Ji Qiyu was already riding ahead on horseback.

The carriage turned slowly. Entering the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival can be regarded as a family banquet, but the emperor and the empress will also send orders to the ministers and wives of Chaozhong Bridge to accompany them in the palace. Generally, those who receive such honors are more trusted by the empress. Heavy, or one that looks pleasing to the eye and fits well.However, the empress empress will follow the same rhythm as the emperor on this point. The empress empress will invite the head wife of the family to talk about the name of which minister the emperor named earlier. Will see this lady.

In short, Huiyu felt that the queen was a person who could tolerate her own selfish desires, and it was admirable to be able to do this.

After entering the palace, Huiyu went straight to Fengqi Palace. The empress was still busy, so they sat in the side hall and waited. At this time, there were already people in the side hall.As soon as Huiyu walked in, she saw a few familiar faces, put on a decent smile, and then walked in.

Zhang Yuqiong and Xia Bingyu had already arrived. Huiyu didn't see Chu Ke, but the younger ones below had also arrived. Huiyu greeted the two sister-in-laws first, and was greeted by several younger siblings. Talking and laughing, it's very cumbersome for you to come and go, but you can't just sit there like an uncle.Nobody cares, right?

After everyone sat down again, Chu Ke came in before they had time to say a word, and everyone greeted each other again. After such a toss, even though there was an iceberg in the room, Huiyu was covered with beads of sweat on his forehead and pimples on his back. Underwear can feel wet.

Now that everyone is complete and finally there is no need to worry about it, Huiyu was relieved, and sat there smiling, watching the exquisite Xia Bingyu chatting enthusiastically with other people in the hall.Especially with the younger siblings who are new to the door, Huiyu thinks that she is really a heroine halo, and I have to say that Xia Bingyu is the kind of person who can get along with someone everywhere.But people like Huiyu can't do it, maybe it's because she's too good-natured, or because her face is too cold and beautiful. In short, everyone's first impression when they look at her is that Princess Jing is so serious.

Last time Sister Zhao’s full moon wine, the three new siblings were trembling in front of her, and Princess Jia was a little bit better, maybe because King Jia and Ji Qiyu left gradually, she was still very happy to see her. Say a few words.Concubine Huai and Concubine Yi were a little bit worse, and when she saw her, she always looked so arrogant that Huiyu wondered if she had a ferocious face.

In terms of the affinity of appearance, Huiyu suffers a bit congenitally, and Chu Ke is a person who doesn't like to joke. The only person who can compete with Xia Bingyu is Zhang Yuqiong.Zhang Yuqiong is a gentle person who smiles before saying a word. As long as she is willing to make friends with others, Huiyu can have close contacts with her and become friends in the shortest time. Zhang Yuqiong has a natural and sincere affinity. Huiyu can only be envious of such an attribute bestowed by God.

"... There is a maple tree in the garden. When the maple leaves turn red in a few days, everyone will go to enjoy the scenery in my next post." Zhang Yuqiong said to Princess Huai and the others with a smile on her face.

Huiyu kept smiling, and when she heard Zhang Yuqiong's words, she suddenly remembered something. In the month when she was about to give birth, the emperor rewarded King Su with a garden called Fengyuan, which was the first among all the princes.With this honor, King Su, the emperor's eldest son, deserved his rightful title.

But what interests Huiyu even more is that Zhang Yuqiong used to be quite low-key. Even if the sisters-in-law were all together, she didn't see her talking too much.But this time, she was extraordinarily active in making good friends with everyone. This activeness... Huiyu couldn't help but think of King Su Ao Guiao, but he was also very low-key.Now that the emperor has admired a maple garden, can he get carried away and make a high profile?Although King Su is arrogant, he is not without brains.

Thinking about the current situation, King Ning’s daughter was forced to change her name, and Prince Jing, Ji Qiyu, was held back because of her brother Dong Yunji’s affairs. In the eyes of everyone, the two powerful princes who are diametrically opposed to each other are now in a state of depression. Does Wang think his chance has come?If this is the case, then Zhang Yuqiong's active interaction with people can be considered reasonable.

Although Huiyu felt that Zhang Yuqiong had alienated them from their boudoir love, but now seeing her husband and wife singing along, she also felt that it was not surprising that people chose a husband to depend on for a lifetime.

If Ji Qiyu told her now that he wanted to fight for the big position and needed Huiyu to make great contributions to her wife's diplomacy, Huiyu would not hesitate to join in it.

"Okay, I've heard that the scenery of Maple Garden is very good. It's a good thing to finally have a chance to see it." Princess Yi said with a smile, expressing great interest.

"Yeah, I've heard that too. My sister-in-law posted a post, so I must go." Princess Huai also said, with a smile on her face.

Xia Bingyu looked at everyone with a smile, but in the end she didn't say whether to go or not.Huiyu said that as long as she received the post, she would go.She and Zhang Yuqiong are just in a relationship now, thinking of the past friendship in the boudoir, she is also willing to support her at this time.It's just that it's just this time, in the future... I'm afraid everyone will go further and further away in the end.

Chu Ke, who hadn't spoken much all the time, now looked as indifferent as before, and her tone was as indifferent as ever, "I'm afraid I don't have time, and I will fail my sister-in-law's kindness."

Everyone was silent for a while, and no one thought that Chu Ke would not even give a decent reason, so he just couldn't say it.If it was for the sake of everyone's face, she would always say a word or two at this time, but Chu Ke refused to say even this.Everyone looked at each other, Huiyu quickly smiled and said: "I know you are a good mother now, so you don't want to go out easily, you are busy with you."

"I'm a bit busy." Chu Ke said.

Hui Yu glanced at Chu Ke, and seeing that she didn't mean to say more, she immediately changed the subject and talked about the latest fashion in Beijing, rouge and gouache, so as not to make the atmosphere too bad.Even though Zhang Yuqiong was well-bred, Chu Ke's indifference made her a little uncomfortable and ugly.

"Recently, there have been a few foreign goods shops in Beijing. I heard that the shops of the fourth younger brother and sister now sell more southern goods. It's a pity. If you want me to say that your shop is fresh, it's always less than others. Share the taste." Xia Bingyu followed Huiyu's words and opened her mouth.

Huiyu sighed when she heard the words, and smiled helplessly, "What can I do, our prince hates others to talk about him the most, you come to criticize me for opening my own dowry shop, and he thinks he manages it now Is it so irritating that I am not allowed to sell more overseas goods? Before I married him, when he didn't take care of the shipping business, my shop didn't. I need his help. It’s all right now, but I’ve suffered a lot.”

Huiyu sighed for a long time, her exquisite eyebrows and eyes were a little depressed and helpless, and she had gained a little weight after giving birth, but she lost a little bit of sharpness and added a little softness. Coupled with her deliberate show of weakness, it made everyone laugh stand up.When Xia Bingyu said this, Huiyu knew that there was something in her words. Ji Qiyu was on the cusp of the limelight recently, so it was inevitable that people would think about it.However, Huiyu is not a piece of dough that can be kneaded by others. What is inside and outside of these words is to erect Ji Qiyu's image of being dedicated to the public. By the way, tell them that this is a stern and selfless person. If there is any way out in the future There's no need to come to her, she really can't get along.

"It's really the fourth brother's doing something wrong. Could it be that he also takes care of the daughter-in-law's home improvement shop?" Xia Bingyu looked at Huiyu and said softly, "If you want me to say, the fourth brother and sister are too sexual."

Prince Jing and Prince Ning did not get along, and everyone in Beijing knew about it.The innumerable bad debts of Concubine Ning and Concubine Ning's concubine are also rumored, and now the two of them are quarreling with each other, and everyone is not surprised at all.It would be weird if the two didn't pinch each other.The two of them pinched, Zhang Yuqiong just smiled and listened without interrupting, Chu Ke was expressionless, and the rest were latecomers who didn't have much weight, so they could only watch them laughing and laughing, watching them come and go, tit for tat, in their hearts Secretly stunned, they are all capable people.

Those who are not strong enough to fight will definitely be filled with a fire pit if they bump into it, so everyone tactfully didn't intervene, just laughed and listened.

"The second sister-in-law is not good at sex? Marrying and obeying my husband, I also keep my duty. After all, it is the prince who wants to be loyal to the court. This dowry shop is just to earn loose money. People like us, it is difficult Is it possible to live by this little money? People will laugh when they say it, since ancient times, I have never seen any princess live by the dowry, is this the truth, second sister-in-law?" Huiyu pinched the handkerchief to cover her lips Laughing lightly, the laughter is like a silver bell, clear and melodious.

Xia Bingyu looked at Huiyu firmly, and smiled, "What the fourth sibling said is that after you are married, your temperament is really different from before. Thinking of the time when you and I met, you were also a cheerful person in a boudoir."

"That's not right, let's not talk about me, the second sister-in-law dares to say that she hasn't changed? The sisters-in-law and younger sisters here dare to say that they haven't changed? Let me tell you, when we were in our natal family, we were all treasures in the hands of our parents. I can't bear to feel a little bit of grievance. But this married person, as the mistress of the family, we have to take care of the middle class of the family and manage the personnel affairs of the family. Just like in the boudoir, we don’t care about anything, we don’t compare anything and think about it carefully. If this falls into the eyes of others, we have to say that we are lacking in mind. After we are married, we still want to be pampered with us when we were girls? For men? The family is away, and our wives want him to be distracted and disturbed by the trivial matters at home, which is too disgraceful." Huiyu smiled and looked at everyone.

What Huiyu said was a bit merciless, even Xia Bingyu couldn't take it for a while.Being a girl is naturally different from being a daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.In the former, a large family coaxes you, and in the latter, you have to coax a large family.Xia Bingyu used Huiyu's previous notoriety in her boudoir to disgust her, accusing her of being insincere and hypocritical.Huiyu just put this on her face. If you are capable, even if you get married, your mother-in-law and men will coax you up and down, but no one in Beijing knows what happened to Xia Bingyu.

Huiyu is a person who is strong when he meets the strong. The more you want to suppress me, the more I will kill you.

The heroine and the supporting actress are indeed natural enemies.

Since Huiyu traveled through time, she also wanted to have a good relationship with Xia Bingyu several times, but despite her efforts, the reality still made the two go further and further apart, and now they have finally become complete opposites.Sometimes when I think about it, it's really unbelievable. I didn't expect that she would miss Ji Fuyan so much, and I thought that there would be no need to be enemies with her, but what about the reality?Hehe, she married Ji Qiyu, so they are still natural enemies!
"What are you talking about, it's so lively?"

The noble concubine led the way and walked in gracefully with the hands of the palace servants, followed by Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Liang, Concubine Han, Concubine Min, and other concubines. Li suddenly looked small.Huiyu and the others hurriedly got up to greet everyone. Speaking of which, the most troublesome thing about entering the palace was the constant salutation and greetings, and the constant bowing and smiling. When the etiquette was complete, Huiyu felt that he was sweating again.

Everyone sat down again. Huiyu, who is a daughter-in-law, cannot sit on a chair with her entire buttocks on it as before.Now I have to turn my body slightly, and I have only sat for more than half of it, and my posture looks good, and I have done it respectfully, but it is really hard work to sit for such a long time.

After doing it again, the topic just now was brought up again. This time, the eyes of all the concubines also fell on Huiyu and Xia Bingyu.Huiyu could clearly feel that Concubine De's eyes lingered on her for the longest time, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Huiyu simply repeated the matter with a smile, and Xia Bingyu also agreed with a smile. The two people's emphasis is different, and the taste of what they say is naturally different. The two of them have a quarrel and a lawsuit, and the rest can only be a wallflower. on the sidelines.

"It's true that everyone has their own reasons. What do sisters Defei and Concubine Han think?" The concubine smiled and threw the topic to Concubine De and Concubine Han.

Xia Bingyu is Concubine De's direct niece and daughter-in-law, and Concubine Han and Concubine Jing have a good relationship, so if these two people come to express their opinions, the imperial concubine is really good at picking people.

Concubine De has a higher status than Concubine Han, so she looked at Concubine Concubine and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Gui doesn't want to end this lawsuit, but wants us to waste my time. But my sister has spoken, so I have to say something as a younger sister."

Concubine De and Concubine Gui have been at loggerheads for so many years, just by seeing Concubine Han supporting Concubine Han up, one can tell where her sword is pointing.At this moment, Concubine De said this as a joke, but it was difficult for others to say it.The imperial concubine really just smiled, and said lightly: "As an elder, I should say something to the younger generation. These two children are good children, and they have a proper way of doing things. I like it very much. It is their fortune and blessing to get a few words from you."

The smile on Concubine De's face froze, but soon disappeared, and she said indifferently: "The concubine has no opinions as high as the concubine, and it is up to the concubine to give advice on this matter. We also learn from it.”

The noble concubine raised her brows slightly when she heard De Concubine's words, and turned to look at Concubine Han, "What does Sister Concubine Han say?"

"Sister De Concubine entered the palace earlier than my younger sister, and she is knowledgeable. My younger sister has only been in the palace for a few years, so how can I dare to say the word "guidance." Xia Yingbai looked at Concubine De with a decent smile and said slowly, "But sister Guifei wants younger sister Just a few words, how can my younger sister live up to my elder sister’s wishes. I think Princess Jing has a good saying, marry and follow your husband. I knew the reputation of not leaving when she came and never entered the palace. I didn’t expect her to give up a lot of money , The whole prince is loyal to the court. This kind of courage and grandeur should be praised. After all, not everyone can do such a thing. If everyone has such a heart of loyalty to the court, the world will be able to Peace and happiness for the people of Taiping. It’s just my sister’s opinion, please ask the imperial concubine’s sister, Mo Xiao.”

Concubine De declined and refused to comment on what happened just now, but Concubine Han did not push her away.Moreover, the meaning in the words was also somewhat sharp, and the first thing he said was that he could not disappoint the concubine's wishes, wouldn't that imply that the concubine De had violated the concubine's intentions.And in the following words, only Huiyu was mentioned and Xia Bingyu was not mentioned at all, and this seemingly ordinary dowry shop matter was elevated to the level of being loyal to the country, the people, and the court.

It's really hard to follow up with such a remark.

The noble concubine turned her head to look at Xia Yingbai, fixed her eyes, and said with a smile: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but I can actually discuss important military affairs."

"My sister reminded me, my sister remembered it."

Huiyu didn't know if it was her own delusion, she always felt that the imperial concubine's attitude towards Xia Yingbai was a bit strange, she would not say Xia Yingbai directly in front of everyone before, but this time she did so in front of everyone. admonition……

Hui Yu looked at Xia Yingbai, and saw that she was still smiling slightly, her eyes and eyebrows were the same as usual.

"The Empress is here!"

With this shout, everyone stood up to greet him, the noble concubine took the lead, Huiyu and other juniors knelt at the back, bowed to the ground and paid respects.

"Get up, I'm a bit late, and I've had a lot of conversations with the wives of the families." The queen smiled and waved everyone to sit down, then glanced at everyone, and her eyes fell on Concubine Han's. On the body, "Why did I hear Concubine Han pleading guilty when I came in just now, what's going on?"
