The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 787 Before Returning to Beijing

Since Emperor Jinghe left Beijing in June, he has been on tour for more than three months. During this period, he has changed several times in dragon boats on imperial chariots, and traveled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

After boarding the ship at the last stop, Emperor Jinghe and the others set off on their way home. When they were still half a month away from Kyoto, they arrived at the birthplace of the Jiang clan.

Although since the founding of the country by Emperor Chengyuan, the clansmen migrated to the vicinity of Kyoto, but the clan land was not vacant. Emperor Chengyuan built a large-scale academies and libraries here.After several generations of hard work, the cultural atmosphere of this place has become rich.

The residence of Emperor Jinghe after his return home was arranged in the only family garden reserved by the Jiang family.

Since the reconstruction of the Jiang clan's land, the area of ​​this only preserved family garden has also doubled, becoming a large royal garden.

Although the Jiang family hadn't come here once in decades, the court still arranged enough manpower to take care of it.

So when Jing and Di went to the tribe, they were attracted by the wonderful scenery.

"It's rare for Mrs. Jiang to go home to convey my will. Everyone will rest here for half a month, and then leave for Beijing after half a month." Emperor Jinghe stood in the courtyard of Jiuya Pavilion with his hands behind his back after washing up, looking up at the sky , and told Zheng An to listen.

"Also, send word to the second and third children, let them take a good look at their hometown, see the local customs, feel the local culture and learning style, learn the local simplicity and loyalty, and let them not forget their roots." Jing Jing Although Emperor He felt tired, he still did not forget the dozen or so children, especially the youngest King Lu and Princess Yuanhe.

"The concubine Ning's concubine should have a good supply. The king of Lu and the monk Yuan are young and have no concubine Chun concubine. They need to be more careful... You send someone to watch over them. If they can't take care of them, send them to two Before a noble concubine drives, they will take care of them."

Zheng An responded repeatedly, but felt in his heart that if the empresses heard the emperor say this, they might be annoyed.

"Oh, by the way, there's also the queen! She didn't bring the mother in front of her, so you have to make proper arrangements, so don't let people neglect you."

……

"The general affairs were originally in charge of the two noble concubines, but now they are stationed home, it is no different from going back to the palace, and they are still in charge of cooking."

Empress Lu was placed in the Yuan Pavilion in Yuzhou, and she was just getting ready to take a rest when she heard two noble concubines send someone to ask about general affairs.

"They and I are both old people from Prince Hui's Mansion. They know my temperament and I like quietness the most. The emperor brought a total of five concubines with him during his tour this time. The two of them are old acquaintances with me. You are welcome. As for the others The two concubines, since you haven't seen each other before, you don't need to see each other again, so please don't bother each other."

Empress Lu lazily told the maid to send a message: "I have everything in my place, so I don't need to bother them."

……

Concubine An was silent for a moment after hearing Mammy's message, and waved her back.

She rubbed her forehead when only she and Hui Jing were left in Qinghe Xiaozhu's living room.

"Your Majesty, the Empress really doesn't care?" Hui Jing leaned over and massaged her acupuncture points.

Concubine An sighed: "The queen who doesn't care about the general affairs is also the queen! If you can't interfere with the general affairs of her yard, then don't interfere. That may not be a good job!"

Huijing nodded in response, and kept adjusting the intensity of the massage: "Since this is the case, why are you still so worried? This queen doesn't care about business, and we don't have to worry about her yard. How easy it is! It also saves people Take advantage of the loopholes and make a fuss!"

"This is an outing, not in the palace... I and the palace have suffered and been involved in handling palace affairs. Is it possible to come out to play, but also to think about this and that, for fear that who will treat one more favorably than another?!" Concubine An Gui shook her head. , staring at the well-maintained nails, the ten fingernails have just painted pink nail polish, with silver lines outlining different shapes of bamboo leaves.

Hui Jing lightly pressed the acupuncture point above Concubine An's ear tip: "If your empress wants to avoid laziness, I'm afraid you'll have to hurry up, if you're a little late, I'm afraid Concubine Xie will take the lead."

Concubine An looked out the window with a smile: "Don't worry, even if Concubine Xie is what I think, she won't shirk."

"Why?" Hui Jing was a little surprised.

I have been on the road before, so whoever drives the car is naturally responsible.

Now half a month of rest is the time when a bunch of affairs are entangled. After half a month, he will be able to resume the palace affairs. Who has the patience to be busy at this time?
Dodging a bit, it seems that there is no power left.

"Of course it's because I won't push back!" Concubine An turned her head and looked at her with bright eyes.

Huijing: "..."

Who was it that picked on this tired and that busy just now? !
"You don't understand!" An Guifei stood up and walked out.

Seeing this, Huijing hurriedly followed.

The master and servant casually wandered around Qinghe Xiaozhu, which is not close to Jiuyage Pavilion and Yuzhouyuan Pavilion, but far away from Concubine Xie's Liuyun Yage Pavilion.

Concubine An looked ahead and looked at the lake in the distance, her emotions slowed down.

"Where's the news about Ming'er?" After gazing into the distance for a while, Concubine An recalled the letter of greeting from her daughter, and suddenly turned her head to ask Hui Jing.

Huijing: "..."

As usual, the king of Chu should come to pay his respects at this moment.

"My lord lives in the Yushan Courtyard outside. It's getting late, so I don't think it's good to come. After all, the empresses are already in our central garden."

"You don't need to make excuses for him, he is just angry with me!" Concubine An Gui sneered and shook her head, "Hmph! Now that I think about it, I wonder if it's because he's naturally cold or his ears are too soft? Han, there will be Chen Yongtang in the future, I see, anyone can command him around, on the contrary, it is my wife who has no influence on him at all!"

After hearing this, Hui Jing felt helpless.

Before, the king of Chu had a quarrel with his empress because of Sheng Han, and then he had a rift with his empress because of the selection of the princess.

When the relationship between the mother and daughter just improved, Chen Yongtang appeared again.

In order to allow her to marry into the Prince of Chu's mansion in the name of a concubine, the King of Chu had been in a stalemate with his mother for several months.

"Don't worry, my lord. The more you don't get it, the lord becomes more stubborn. Think about Sheng Liuniang back then. Wasn't the lord very persistent? How is it now?"

Hui Jing's words of consolation are very practical, but unfortunately, it is useless to Concubine An.

"Sheng Liuniang's power is far inferior to this Chen Yongtang!" Concubine An Guifei couldn't help feeling a little chilled as she spoke, "He always thinks I'm domineering and arbitrary, and won't consider his feelings, but he wants to marry Chen Xian The niece came into the mansion with the appearance of true love! Where will I put this palace? Has he considered his mother and his sister?!"

The more Concubine An said, the more angry she became: "He often said that I don't love him, and that he is not allowed to fight with King Hui, but why doesn't he look at himself? When you meet a clever Chen Xian, you can trust each other. If you really let him He's in charge, so it's uncertain whether Jiang Shan's surname is Jiang or Chen!"
