Chapter 96

After the time to say good morning, Wen Jing continued to deal with some palace affairs.

Instead, Lan Tiao came in after staying outside for a while, with a small sandalwood box in her hand.

"Your Majesty, just now the servants sent the masters out, Concubine Hui asked the servants to bring this to the concubine, saying that it was given by Concubine Hui's family. It looks good, so I brought it for the empress to enjoy."

Wen Jing took the sandalwood box, and there was a string of red coral bracelets inside. There were no impurities on the red corals, and the whole bracelet was exquisitely carved in one go. It was indeed a rare good thing.

Wen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, which could be considered Concubine Hui sober, which meant to seek peace.

"Reciprocity is a matter of courtesy, I remember that there is a small pendant of jade gourd, you can send it to Concubine Hui as a return gift."

"Didn't I say yesterday that I want to invite Wu Taipin to drink tea, now that I'm free, let Zhuyun go and invite her."

Wu Taipin was still waiting for the letter in Zhong An Palace, and looked outside every half an hour.

The fifth princess is gentle, well-behaved and sensible.When the first emperor was around, these princesses were all neglected, and the number of times the fifth princess could see Emperor Kant in a year could be counted on one hand.

Of the first four princesses, two died when they were in their teens, and their biological mothers followed.The remaining two elder sisters-in-law are all ordinary, but they are the sons of the lord's family.

The eldest sister's son-in-law raised a concubine outside, and the third sister's son-in-law was a habitual alcoholic.

The fifth princess concentrated on her hands, even if the concubine mother said that the queen empress would look after her this time, she would not expect anything, as long as she could live on.

"Concubine Tai, elder sister Zhuyun, who is beside the Empress, is here to invite you."

Wu Taipin was very active for her daughter's marriage. The mansion of half a cup of tea came to Fengyi Palace.

Wu Taipin is a concubine of the first emperor, although her status is not high, she can be regarded as Wen Jing's elder.Wen Jing got up to take a few steps, and said with a smile: "The concubine came just in time, and the dim sum in the small kitchen has just been cooked."

Wu Taipin also laughed, with a happy face: "Oh, then I am really lucky."

After Wu Taipin took her seat, she first complimented, praised Fengyi Palace inside and out, and then praised Wen Jing, and then finally brought the topic to the fifth princess inadvertently.

"Princess has a soft personality, so I, as a mother, have to worry a little bit more." Wu Taipin showed a little sad face, "I don't ask the princess to marry into a lord's rich family, I just want to be good-natured and convenient."

"The imperial concubine has a loving mother's heart." Wen Jing could understand Wu Taipin's request. Emperor Kangde, as a father, is really out of shape. Let’s hold a cuju event, and invite the lords and girls from all families to come and have fun. At that time, we will also invite the concubine and the fifth princess to join in the fun.”

When Wu Taipin heard this, her rich cheeks immediately twitched with laughter, thinking in her heart that she would have to sort out the candidates, and then take a good look at each other.

After sending Wu Taipin away, Lan Qian asked excitedly, "Ma'am, do you really want to hold a Cuju match?"

Wen Youqi didn't know what her father said, and he believed that she had good eyesight, so he insisted on asking the elder sister to choose a wife for her, and Jiang Shi was not fainted all of a sudden.

Now that Wen Jing has agreed, it is natural to choose carefully, so this event is not only for the fifth princess.

Seeing Wen Jing nodding, Lan Qian continued to ask cautiously: "Madam, I love these lively events, so I want to prepare with Sister Zhuyue?"

Wen Jing laughed at her, and lightly tapped Lan Qian with her fingertips in the air: "I don't know you yet, you have a restless temper, go, and learn more from Zhuyue."

The days passed by very quickly, and it was the end of March.

Wen Zhinan talked with Jiang Xufeng several times in the Liangyi Hall, and finally took a job as a military supervisor, supervising the construction and repair of weapons.The two monarchs and ministers staged a scene of three words and three stays in the court hall, which was considered to have settled the matter.

The newly appointed General Zhenbei was a lieutenant general in the barracks. He came from a poor background, and he got to where he is today by relying on his solid military achievements, but he immediately agreed with Jiang Xufeng's wishes.

Although the court knew that it was Wen Zhinan who was willing to retire, but it was inevitable that some people would gossip, thinking that it was Jiang Xufeng who was afraid of the military power of the Wen family and forced Wen Zhinan to retreat.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Wen Zhinan's only son became the new commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

The former commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, Gu Zhizhi, became the new commander of the Northwest Army. Although Gu Zhun had flaws in his character, he was a rare general.It was time for Jiang Xufeng to employ people, and there was no one among his cronies who could replace Gu Zhun.

The commander of the imperial army is Huo Yu, the commander of the guards who has been by Jiang Xufeng's side all the time.

Jiang Xufeng already had candidates, and he overturned his calculations about these three positions, especially the Song family. Song Zhaoben wanted to recommend his son to be the commander of the imperial army.After mentioning it a few times, Jiang Xufeng didn't respond. Instead, he pushed Huo Yu up against the crowd.

Not only that, but the title of Duke Cheng En, which should be given to the Queen Mother's family, has not been moved for a long time.However, after Wen Zhinan stepped down from the position of General, within a few days, he was given the title of Marquis of Rong'an that the queen's natal family should have.

If Song Zhao still can't understand, he has been in court for so many years.Mr. Song was naturally full of anger. He thought that the emperor and the late emperor would be different, and that the method of not wanting to cross the river and tear down the bridge really deserved to be father and son.Angrily, he went to find the queen mother, but the queen mother said 'brother should understand the emperor's temperament better than Aijia', and she made Master Song speechless.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Mr. Song kept stalemate with Jiang Xufeng from February to the end of March.It's a pity that Jiang Xufeng doesn't care much about reputation, and the gossip in the capital is completely inaudible.

It wasn't until Qiao Yuansi, the Zhongshu servant who had been working behind Mr. Song, was vaguely reused by Jiang Xufeng that Mr. Song came to his senses.

Today's Jiang Xufeng and the Song family are no longer partners, but a relationship between monarch and minister that cannot be overridden.

Song Zhao had a new plan in mind and was no longer in a hurry.

He lowered his head, and Jiang Xufeng looked close to his mother's family again: "I see that my cousin is quite familiar with the law, and now there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Punishment. Why don't you let my cousin try it out, and there are many in Uncle Zhishi's family." Teach your cousin more."

Looking at Jiang Xufeng's smiling face, Song Zhao suddenly realized that it was not the right decision to help this nephew to the throne. The fingers of his left hand kept tapping on the back of his right hand, and now he will take the title of Lord Cheng En first.

The Song family has accumulated for many years, and has a high prestige in the court, and half of them are very close to the Song family.Even if he stepped down from the position of Zhongshuling, so what, the emperor wanted to cut the mess quickly, but he couldn't kill all the officials in the dynasty.

And Wen Jing has been preparing for a long time, and the Cuju competition, which has been widely heard among the women in the capital, is finally about to begin.
