The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 143 The Return of Cloud and Dust Scenery (2)
Almost quickly, a chain reaction started, a group of people, like a parting tide, automatically lined up in two rows to greet her: "Yan Shangshu."

Because she is the top imperial minister, she cannot be the highest status, some people salute her, but some people naturally don't.

Hearing other people's voices, Qi Yunyan looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and with a crash, he retreated together and retreated into the crowd.However, the rest discovered her existence.Anyone who is careful and competitive will wonder why Yan Shangshu went the way of Qi Yunyan.All the roads in this park lead to Rome, and it is not necessarily necessary to go around the Seven-Arch Bridge.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Ninth immediately pinched the arm of the person beside her.

It's not just the ninth lady who is pinching, some first-rank and second-rank official wives, even third-rank and fourth-rank officials are asking.The eldest princess and Princess Ji Yao looked at each other face to face. Lin Murong's qualifications as a talented woman were fully revealed at this moment. She was not in charge of personnel affairs, but she was more clear than her husband who was in charge of personnel affairs. She revealed to the eldest princess Said: The daughter of a small official in the Ministry of Officials, an official of less than the fourth rank, the daughter of Qi Langzhong, Qi Yunyan.

Hearing that they were her husband's subordinates, Madam Ninth frowned even more. How could someone who had never heard of it before be able to mix in the tea party to meet the Holy Spirit.

Seeing almost everyone's gazes flying towards Qi Yunyan, Hua Xiyan coughed softly, walked straight up to the gazebo, and first saluted the eldest princess who was the highest here: "I see Your Highness the Princess."

The eldest princess held her head slightly and smiled in her eyes: "This is the second time this princess and Yan Shangshu have met."

Li Jiyao, who was standing beside her, couldn't wait to come up to talk to Hua Xiyan, but the eldest princess grabbed her sleeves: Don't be rude.

Li Jiyao could only stamp her toes and stared at the roof speechlessly.

Hua Xiyan thought: The eldest princess is right, otherwise, if Li Jiyao followed her, she might become a thorn in the eyes of everyone.

After saying hello, everyone sat down at their seats.Hua Xiyan and the eldest princess sat together at the small table in the gazebo, and the rest had to sit around or stand around.

The maids shuttled among the wives and ladies carrying fruit tea.Everyone looked at the delicious food and dared not take a sip when they were thirsty.Everyone came for the same purpose.Just wait for Hua Xiyan or the eldest princess to speak.

Aunt Liu personally poured tea for the two masters.

"The weather is hot, so I wonder if the green tea made with Luo Han Guo that I prepared for the eldest princess is suitable for the princess?" Hua Xiyan said.

The eldest princess picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully, saying: "My princess has never tried it, but this taste is refreshing and thirst-quenching."

Aunt Liu personally brought up a plate of sliced ​​peaches.

Hua Xiyan said: "I know that in the eldest princess's mansion, there are melons from Dawan and lychees from Baichang. However, in the palace, the Holy Majesty said that only the local peaches are abundant. I dare not violate the holy will, so I can only use peaches." Treat the princess and all the ladies."

Regarding these words, the eldest princess did not dare to say a word, and the people below were even more afraid.

The sour Mrs. Ninth could only gossip with other people: What does she mean?Is it ironic that we are not as frugal as the Holy One?Or is she the only one who can flatter the Holy Spirit?Sure enough, people who are good at flattering, no matter how high or low their status is, have been more likely to gain favor since ancient times than those who are clean in Qingshui Yamen.

Many years ago, she was the empress of the palace and couldn't bear such a person. Many years later, as Yan Shangshu, she still couldn't bear such a person.

To be honest, she summoned these people today because she had a small plan in mind.Due to the hot weather in recent days, some seasonal diseases are prevalent among the barren people.The free clinic jointly set up by her brother and the imperial court received an increasing number of patients every day.Once the operating load is exceeded, the supply of medicinal materials and manpower is insufficient, and a large-scale epidemic spreads in the city, it is enough to destroy a capital.However, only relying on the efforts of the imperial court, the treasury is struggling.Because the imperial treasury not only has to face one thing, but also has to face other expenses.Finally, the last time the emperor deceived the eldest princess and a group of merchants to open warehouses and distribute food to the people.However, it is not enough.

Thinking about the people who came to her today, they didn't think about the suffering of the common people, but only thought about whether their official titles would be protected, and whether their glory and wealth would be protected.It is conceivable that this kind of person becomes an official. Once something goes wrong, these people must be the first batch of people who abandon the city and run away.

The revolutionary officials have to follow the procedure, and the revolutionary officials have to think about the follow-up.It's like daring to steal the Sun's house, you must first call Lin Jingqi back to fill the vacant seat in the Sun's house.These are his business, not her to intervene.However, to help him punish such people, and let these people spend some money to support his imperial court and her brother's charity clinic, she can come up with this method at her fingertips.

A gust of cool breeze blew across the Parkway Garden.

"Madame Nine is right. The official called everyone here this time just to flatter the Holy Majesty."

The crowd suddenly fell silent because of her words.Mrs. Ninth's eyes were staring like wood, and she forgot how to turn them all of a sudden, so she couldn't remember what she said with her mouth.The eldest princess raised her eyes slightly, and there was a flash of surprise in her pupils.

Mrs. Ninth is the wife of a dignified second-rank official, and she can also be regarded as a second-rank official wife.If you contradict Mrs. Ninth face to face in front of everyone, isn't it like hitting Mrs. Gaoming, the second rank, in the face.Maybe the Ninth Madam herself never thought that she would dare to contradict her like this. I can only say that the Ninth Madam thinks highly of her status, and besides her habit of gossiping, her Ninth Madam dared to do so even in the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess never said anything about her.You little imperial minister, why not.

Everyone recalled this, and suddenly remembered that no one really knew what rank of official Hua Xiyan was bestowed by the Holy Majesty on.

Sometimes, it's really impossible for this person not to want to overwhelm others with power, especially when meeting these kind of people who only remember who is who.

Hua Xiyan asked Aunt Liu to pour tea for everyone, and asked everyone to calm down first, and then took out the jade pendant he gave her that year, and said: "This is given to me by the Holy Majesty, similar to Shang Fang's sword. It is said that as long as the minister holds it, he will be like the Holy One."

In a word, everyone's eyes are slightly stared.Madam Nine found her voice, but she couldn't find what she wanted to say.If she dared to gossip again, and Hua Xiyan put this thing out, she would gossip in front of the Holy One.Who doesn't know, Li Zimo hates people gossiping the most.Officials of all grades are good, and anyone who dares to gossip in front of him will have their tongues cut off.

Gently brushing the hesitation on Mrs. Ninth's face, Hua Xiyan said: "I understand the habits of the Holy Majesty. It is said that the Holy Majesty is most annoyed by people talking secretly. However, since I have just entered the palace, Fearing that there might be a mistake, the Ninth Madam is the second-rank Madam, because she knows the Holy Master better than I do, so I don't know if what I said is right or wrong in the eyes of the Ninth Madam?"
