The big thing about being a princess

Chapter 114

"Since it's praying for blessings, then dress plainly." Wen Jing sat lazily in front of the vanity mirror, but still couldn't help yawning.

Lan Qian felt sorry for her mother, curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun is already shining outside so early. The Mingguang Hall is stuffy and hot, so why choose it as a Buddhist hall?"

Lan Tiao took out a light blue skirt from the sandalwood cabinet, and glanced at her with a smile: "Go and comb your hair, I'll do it here."

Lan Qian shut up in front of Wen Jing, and did her makeup according to Wen Jing's instructions.Zhuyue used the hand stove sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fill some ice cubes, and holding it in her hand can relieve the heat.

Sitting on the chariot, Wen Jing was still a little drowsy. I wonder if it's because the summer weather is too hot, she has become more and more lazy recently.

When the chariot arrived at the Mingguang Hall, except for Ru Jieyu who was confined, Concubine Hui and Limei who were confinement, and Jingmei who was still ill, everyone else was already waiting in the hall.

The Mingguang Hall is spacious, and it is not crowded with so many concubines, but the location is not very good, it is not warm in winter and cool in summer.Three ice basins were placed in the hall, but it didn't relieve it, and it was still sweltering.

After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the queen mother Shi Shiran came. She first glanced at the concubines with her eyes, and then sighed: "there are still fewer concubines in the palace, and the emperor's heirs are only grandchildren." The princess and the eldest son of the emperor. Empress, you are very relieved to be in charge of the Ai family in the harem, but you have to persuade some emperors to spread branches and leaves for the royal family."

Wen Jing smiled and said nothing, this is to say that she dominates Jiang Xufeng, and she can't control where Jiang Xufeng's legs are going. Can she still drive Jiang Xufeng out when she arrives at Fengyi Palace?
Concubine Ru, who always dared to speak boldly, has now demoted to Jieyu. Now Wen Jing doesn't speak, and no one will answer casually.

The queen mother glanced at Wen Jing coldly, and flicked the Buddhist beads in her hand: "Okay, the war in the northwest is tense, and the emperor is worried about political affairs. The Ai family also cares about the people and soldiers of Dayong, so you must pray carefully today."

Wen Jing narrowed her eyebrows, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile on her lips. The queen mother really lost face, and it was obvious that the harem prayed together, but it became the queen mother who cared about the people and soldiers alone.

"The empress mother is still thoughtful. When the concubine heard about praying for blessings yesterday, she felt that the concubine was still short-sighted."

Wen Jing's expression was gentle and natural, as if she was really praising the queen mother, but the queen mother still turned cold, and then heard Wen Jing say: "When summer comes, the concubine sorts out a lot of old things, which are clothes and clothes that can't be worn. Jewelry, and some scattered furniture. Although these things are no longer needed by the concubines, they are all made of good materials. The concubines also want to do their best to share the emperor's worries. What does the queen mother think?

When the first emperor was in his prime, he was keen on practicing palaces and imperial mausoleums. In Jiang Xufeng's hands, although the national treasury was not in short supply, it was not in surplus either.Even if Jiang Xufeng improved a lot of policies after he came to power, the results were not achieved all at once. The Northwest was pressing for military pay, and many places were paid for by Jiang Xufeng's private property.

Wen Jing's cooperation with Jiang Xufeng has already reduced a lot of unnecessary expenses in the harem.Almost all the consumption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this summer comes from the income of Huangzhuang and Huangshang.

Originally, Wen Jing didn't think of donating old things. After all, many of the concubines had just entered the palace, and many of them were not favored, so it would be good to live their lives.

However, the Queen Mother's few words really disgusted her, and she used the Northwest War as a raft for her reputation.Since the Empress Dowager cares so much about the common people and the soldiers, let's be practical.

The queen mother held her breath in her chest, unexpectedly, Wen Jing gave her such a sudden blow, and her complexion sank for a while.But she couldn't refuse, she was the one who proposed the blessing, and now she quit when it was time to donate, where would she put her empress dowager face.

"Well, then leave this matter to the queen." The queen mother maintained a calm face and replied lightly, then turned and went to the back.

Wen Jing looked at the rest of the concubines, Xiang Cairen, Shen Baolin, and Li Yunv all looked unhappy. The first two were simply unwilling, and Li Yunv was really poor.

"You don't need to be nervous, just do what you can. The Ministry of the Interior has a new cloth, spices and many other things, and they will be distributed to various places in a few days."

The concubines also understood, and they all respectfully agreed as if they were exchanging old things for new ones.

In fact, there are not many rules for praying in the palace. Even if the empress dowager and the concubines recite scriptures or copy some scriptures, they don’t always kneel there.

The so-called sincerity leads to spirit, Wen Jing sincerely hopes that the war will end quickly, and the people in the northwest will be peaceful, and that her father will return to court as soon as possible.

It was probably because she got up early, and the time for breakfast was also brought forward. Before noon, Wen Jing felt a little hungry with her chest on her back, and after another cup of tea, she even felt dizzy.

Seeing this, Lan Tiao and Lan Qian quickly helped her into the side room.

Wen Jing quickly used two pieces of pastries, and then she was relieved, and she didn't feel dizzy anymore.

Zhu Yun asked the servants of the Mingguang Palace for some sugar, put it in water and served it to Wen Jing: "Madam, this servant has asked Ye Song to go to the dining room to pick up the food."

Wen Jing took a sip of sugar water, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I also used a lot for breakfast, presumably because of the improved craftsmanship in the dining room, my appetite has improved a lot."

Wen Jing's teasing words were just heard by Sui He who came to inquire. Sui He's eyelids twitched slightly, and a thought flashed in his mind, and the clasped hands were clenched.

"Why is Aunt Sui He here, but what orders does the Queen Mother have?"

Sui He came back to her senses and put on a hypocritical smile: "The empress dowager heard the movement in front of her, she was worried about the empress dowager, so she asked the servants to come and have a look."

What she said is false, I'm afraid the queen mother is always staring at Wen Jing.Wen Jing didn't mind at all, and just smiled: "There is nothing serious about my palace, but I feel dizzy after getting up early, and I will go back to the Buddhist hall after eating some food."

After Wen Jing said that, Sui He didn't dare to say too much, any more would be like the Queen Mother urging Wen Jing.

The Buddhist beads in the Empress Dowager's hand were spinning quickly, and she was chanting words, but no one knew what was going on in her heart.

Sui He came in quietly, knelt beside the Queen Mother, and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager's face is slightly pale, and this slave looks like she's just pretending."

The queen mother did not speak, but nodded slightly.

Sui He pursed her lips: "Empress Dowager, I don't know if it's because the slaves are careless. After hearing that, Empress Empress said that her appetite has improved a lot. Empress Dowager, should we also pay more attention to Fengyi Palace?"

The Queen Mother's eyes opened suddenly, and she turned her head to look at Aunt Sui He with sharp eyes.

Even Sui He, who had followed the Queen Mother for so many years, was also taken aback, but quickly calmed down.

"Where is the person you arranged before?"

"There are only two left, and they are rough envoys, not even close to the main hall." Aunt Sui He heard the Queen Mother's question, her face was a little more embarrassed and annoyed.

The Empress Dowager has been up and down in the harem for many years, and there are some people everywhere, so naturally she will not let Fengyi Palace alone.In Fengyi Palace, Wen Jing's nanny Xu Nanny is now in charge, and Shi Nanny who was in charge of personnel affairs in the Prince's House before.Both nuns are extremely capable, and Nanny Shi was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she understands the twists and turns.

The palace people who had just arrived at Fengyi Palace couldn't even get close to the main hall, so the two nuns who were acting suspiciously were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Empress Dowager's eyes became even more terrifying, and the beads in her hand turned faster. After a long while, she closed her eyes again and said: "Go and check the Queen's recent daily life, and then go to the Imperial Hospital to ask."
