royal girl

Chapter 338 Stepping stone 2
"Wu Chengzhe threw the matter out like this, obviously he didn't mean to confront the government of Xinguo directly. If Qi Qi wants to compete with Qi Heng, I don't know if he has property in the capital. If he doesn't, I'm afraid it will be a bit embarrassing. "If you want to be an imperial merchant, you must have both a foundation and connections, which is not an easy thing.

Ji Qiyu nodded, "If this person can really win it, these things are not a problem, you can make up one for him."

"How about I inform my elder brother and ask him to help?" Huiyu was referring to Dong Yuncheng.

Ji Qiyu thought for a while, didn't refuse or nodded, and said: "I'll talk about it after meeting people first, the inner court will only start to build momentum, and it will take time until everything is on track."

Huiyu thought it was the same, Ji Qiyu couldn't care less about such a trivial matter, so she nodded and said, "Then you can figure it out."

Putting this topic aside, Huiyu said again: "My mother sent a letter, saying that my sister-in-law wrote and said she was coming back to visit relatives. When she comes back, I will go back to my mother's house to see." Yi, Ji Xiaocui left her son and went to Jiangsu, they owed her love.

"It's time to go back and have a look." Ji Qiyu nodded, "In another year, your brother will also return to Beijing to review his duties. If you work well, you might be able to stay in Beijing."

Huiyu was silent for a while, and then said: "Let's talk about this matter later, it's too early to talk about it now." Dong Yunji was Ji Qiyu'an's nail inserted into King Ning's family. He stayed in Jiangsu, and King Ning People on the side dare not make big moves in water transportation and salt affairs, just like Zhenshan Taisui.If Dong Yunji resigned, maybe something like Ji Qiyu's accident would happen immediately after he left the Inner Court Mansion, and it would be difficult to install someone in at that time.

After so many years of careful arrangement, it would be a bit uneconomical to get it back just for family affection.Ji Qiyu did this, but she also felt sorry for their family, but since she had done everything, there was no reason to give up halfway, so the previous plans were all in vain.

This year is the draft year, but because of the war in the south, the emperor decreed that the draft should be held in the spring, but it was put in the autumn.Nowadays, most of the beautiful girls from all over the country in Kyoto have rented houses to live here for nearly a year, and some have lived here for more than half a year. Those whose families are not well-off cannot stay in a place like Kyoto for long. Most of those who can stay are people with some family background.Now Beijing is considered to be stable, and the matter of the draft has begun to be put on the agenda again. Every time there is a draft, Huiyu feels that it is an unpleasant thing.It's fine for the emperor to pick girls himself, but he still wants the queen to give his sons one or two to enrich the backyard. What's the matter?

After all, the Imperial Palace’s re-selection of porcelain imperial merchants is a business matter, and such matters are only fought in a small circle, but the draft is a major event that is related to the future of many people in Kyoto, so now the palace has released the word that the draft must be It started, and Kyoto suddenly boiled.

Huiyu's embarrassment was that there were still people who asked seven or eight people to come up to her door.

This kind of thinking is actually quite easy to guess. Being able to entrust the relationship means that the family has a certain strength, but this strength may be very powerful in their hometown, but when it comes to Kyoto, a place where noble royal families travel everywhere, it is true. It's nothing.So asking Huiyu to come here is nothing more than two points. First, I hope that I can take care of my children in the palace. Beijing.Staying in Beijing is sent to the backyard of the palace. Although she is not a concubine or side concubine, if she can enter the palace to be a concubine and concubine, she will be able to gain a foothold in the future if she wins the favor of the prince and gives birth to a man and a half woman. The future is also preserved.

In fact, Huiyu couldn't figure it out, how could these people be so sure that she would be happy to accept such a thing!

After Ji Qiyu came back, Huiyu couldn't help nagging at him, pointing to the newly sent [-]-[-]% post on the table, and said badly: "I really don't know what these people think, they seem to think that I must I really enjoy doing things like this.”

Ji Qiyu looked at the post on the table, then looked at Huiyu's patient face, lowered his head to steal a scent on her lips, and then explained to her, "It's actually not difficult to understand. Generally speaking, a princess marrying five or six times Years later, a couple is too familiar, and there is nothing new about it. If you want to hold your position, then at this time, if you bring one or two beautiful and innocent girls by your side to hold her husband's heart It's also pretty good. The families of these girls have something to ask from the princess, and these girls will definitely be more obedient after entering the mansion, which is also a joy for the princesses of each family."

Huiyu: ...

Seeing Huiyu's expressionless face, Ji Qiyu smiled, "Our family doesn't need this, I have you enough."

Huiyu felt that she was happy again, this annoying season.

What others forced in, is definitely not the same concept as what I prepared.Huiyu didn't like the fact that these people rushed to send her daughter to her backyard, so what to do with these posts became a problem.If she refuses all of them, it will definitely be rumored that she is jealous again. If she does not refuse, she will not be able to get over this hurdle in her heart, hey...

Ji Qiyu seemed to know what Huiyu was embarrassing, picked up all the posts on the table, then went to the door and called Miao Rongguang over, "Send these posts back as they are."

Miao Rongguang thumped in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and took it over to answer. Seeing the prince striding back into the room, he looked down at the post in his hand and knew what was going on.These short-sighted people, knowing that their lord cares about the wangfei, actually rushed to talk to the wangfei, now the lord is angry!

What's the biggest first-round gossip to come out of this year's draft?
King Jing went into a rage and sent the invitation back a long way in anger!

In the past, there were many officials who came from other places to help their daughters, but they did not encounter such a situation. Most of them handed the post to the princess who was in charge of general affairs. If the princess didn't like it, she just refused, but there was no prince of that family Like Prince Jing did.Although they all heard that Prince Jing and his wife had a very good relationship after they came to Beijing, after all, they have been married for so many years and have two children. From a man's point of view, they should be tired of it. What's wrong with changing to a fresh face? ?

But he just didn't expect that Prince Jing would do such a thing.

To actually send the post back to someone from a long distance away, Huiyu's sense of existence in this matter is extremely small, and with Prince Jing being so powerful, Princess Jing probably can't stop her.

Ming zigong.

After Xia Yingbai coaxed her daughter to sleep, Qing Hua, who was serving her personally, lifted the curtain and came in, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Mother, I have heard from this servant, and the empress Defei has indeed circled a few names. Among the batch of beautiful women, the color is the most beautiful. I heard that one of them is even slightly better than the imperial concubine. The slaves have not seen it in person, but I have heard many people say so."

Xia Yingbai sneered, looked at Qinghua and said: "I can't win Shengen, so I just want to mention some young and beautiful ones."

Qing Hua didn't dare to answer, she just stood there with her head down.

The emperor is getting older and older, and his temperament has become more unpredictable this year.Because of Xiao'an, the emperor came to Mingzi Palace more often, but it was still much less than previous years.Now the emperor prefers to call some young concubines to sleep in the front hall, that is, if the emperor does not come to the harem, it is normal to not see the emperor for ten and a half months.

If there is no call, you will not see the sky.

It can be said that Xia Yingbai has never encountered such a situation in the past few years since he entered the palace, but he has gotten used to it this year.In the past, the emperor had a casual temperament, and would often go for a walk in the imperial garden. If he wanted to meet the emperor by chance, as long as he could get accurate information, he would definitely meet someone in the imperial garden.But in recent years, the emperor doesn't like to visit the garden, nor does he like to come to the harem, and the concubines in the front palace can't set foot in it at all. Under such circumstances, unless the emperor wants to see you, it's really a world away.

"Does the imperial concubine know this news?"

"I don't know, but we can find out. I think there must be news from the imperial concubine and empress." Qinghua said in a low voice, the emperor doesn't like to come to the harem, the most anxious thing is the concubine who was favored in the past but has not seen the emperor recently . "The servant girl also found out that not only the Concubine De concubine has circled people, but also the Concubine Liang and the Concubine Gui have also made a move. What about you, Madam?"

Concubine Liang actually made a move, Xia Yingbai frowned, it was understandable for the concubine to do so.But Concubine Liang has long stopped competing for favor, why is she doing this all of a sudden now?
"Is the news accurate?"

"Yes, the servant girl asked clearly, there is nothing wrong with it."

"It's really lively this time." Xia Yingbai sneered, pursed her lips lightly, half-closed her eyes, and after a long time she said: "Let's go to the Empress to greet her."

Qing Hua knew that now was not the time to greet her, but the master immediately helped Concubine Han to stand up, "At this time, the empress should wake up from her afternoon nap, and it was just right in the past."

Xia Yingbai glanced at her daughter before walking out.Everyone in this harem has to earn a bit of dignity, for themselves in the past, and for their children in the future.Xia Yingbai knew that her appearance was not outstanding, and all she could rely on was her relationship with the emperor, but if she didn't see each other for a long time, any relationship would fade away.Now Concubine Gui, Concubine Liang and Concubine De have to cultivate their own people, but what about her?Naturally, she could do this, but it would not be worthwhile if she was targeted by the queen.

So this matter still needs the consent of the empress, but how can I speak better when I go to the empress?
Xia Yingbai walked to the corner, and never thought that she would run into Defei's soft sedan head-on. She stood on her feet and looked at Defei who was sitting on the soft feet and bowed her knees, "I have seen Defei's empress before me."

Concubine De condescended to look at Xia Yingbai who was slowly coming all the way and stood in front of her soft sedan, with a slight smile on her lips, and said with a faint smile: "What a coincidence, where is Concubine Han going?" Xia Yingbai's life is not outstanding , but those eyes are particularly interesting, and in addition to the deep grievances between the two in the past few years, Concubine De sat in a sedan chair with a sunshade, watching Concubine Han standing in the hot sun, it seemed that there was a conversation for a while interest of.

Xia Yingbai didn't bring an umbrella when she went out, the sun was shining hot on her body, but after a while, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.But she didn't get angry at all, she just looked at Concubine De who was sitting on it and smiled gently, "I'm going to pay my respects to Empress Dowager, can Sister De Concubine go with me?"
