first class maid

Chapter 275
Yu Wenzhu widened his eyes to listen to his wife, he really didn't think about it.

The turmoil in the imperial capital became more and more violent, and many officials were involved in King Jin's treason case, especially those who flattered him were implicated, and finally they were liquidated.

Xun Zhen read a lot of lists about these officials from Yu Wenhong, sighed in his heart, glanced at Yu Wenhong who was sitting upright and handling official duties, frowned, stepped forward to take the ink ingot from the little eunuch's hand, waved him back down.

Yu Wenhong smelled a faint fragrance, and when he looked up, he saw that she was grinding ink for him with her head down. Knowing her very well, he said, "What do you want to say?"

Only then did Xun Zhen look up at him, "Actually, I really don't want to interfere in the political affairs of the court, but I just think about the family members of these officials, they are all innocent, can you...beg Your Majesty for them? Don't be punished as lowly, just let them go." Comparing her heart to heart, she really didn't want to see them have her fate.

Yu Wenhong frowned lightly, "Xun Zhen, your heart is too soft." Although she knew that she was a bit smart, she didn't just need to be smart to gain a foothold by his side, she had to be hard-hearted to be honest standing beside him.

"I'm not soft-hearted, it's just that they are an innocent group of people, so it's not that difficult to give them a way out?" Xun Zhen said, "You have the ability, don't you? As long as the family members of the prisoners are sent back to their original place of origin, so that they can live on, it won't be so difficult. Separation of flesh and blood, isn't this the kindness that a superior should have?"

She argues that if the emperor had been lenient back then, her mother would not have committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, her little aunt would not have had to marry someone as a concubine, and she would not have had to be separated from her closest relatives in this palace wall. Hold him by the neck and beg again.

Yu Wenhong hugged her waist, turned his head and kissed her lightly on the face, and agreed with a sigh, "This matter is not easy to handle, I have to convince Father and Emperor to agree to issue an imperial edict, you girl is really my nemesis!" , give me a problem.”

Xun Zhen smiled broadly, as long as he agreed, it would not be difficult to convince the emperor, "This is a merit."

When Yan Han came in, he happened to hear what they were discussing. His old eyes looked at Xun Zhen unconsciously, and he coughed lightly with criticism and precaution. Seeing the two people separated quickly, he stepped forward to explain his intention.

Xun Zhen clearly sensed that the prince and the grand master were not friendly to her, and seeing his eyes flick to her intentionally or unintentionally, he found an excuse to go down and bring some food.

She was busy in the small kitchen of the East Palace for a while, and when she was about to return to Yu Wenhong with the prepared snacks and brewed tea bowls, she met Yan Han in the corridor. Those who were waiting for her stepped forward and said, "Teacher Yan."

Yan Han turned his head to look at her, his old face was even more severe, and he looked up and down for a moment, "Xunzhangzhi, there are some things you shouldn't interfere with, especially political affairs, concubines can't do politics, Xunzhangzhi doesn't know about it, right? "

Xun Zhen's face was not serious, listening to the word "political affairs" that Yan Han spat out from between his teeth, it seemed that the old man was dissatisfied with what happened just now, "Teacher Yan, believe it or not, I never thought It is impossible to interfere in politics, but I just said what I should say with my conscience." She bent down again, and left with a tea tray.

"Xun Zhangzhi, the old man doesn't like you wandering around His Highness, you should know your identity, the East Palace will soon welcome the hostess, Xun Zhangzhi should think of a way out for himself to be true, this is the old man A reminder to you." Yan Han said with a straight face.

She straightened her back, "Thank you, Taifu Yan, for reminding me, but Xun Zhen is not a person who retreats in spite of difficulties. As long as His Highness remains unchanged, Xun Zhen will not retreat lightly."

Yan Han watched her leave with her head slightly raised, her firm words seemed to be mocking him, this girl really doesn't listen to anyone's advice, although she doesn't like her, but out of respect for the Xun family, he kindly reminded her He was actually regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs by her, and he couldn't help blowing his beard and staring at him in anger.

Xun Zhen's heart was not without fluctuations at all, he went in with a tray, looked at the sitting stalwart figure and handsome face, couldn't help but put down the tray heavily, and then saw him raise his head in amazement, stepped forward and grabbed his face , pouted and said: "Why are you the prince of Naluoshi?" It would be fine if he was not the prince, and Na's heart would not be so worried.

Yu Wenhong felt his face being pinched by her, and grabbed her waist tightly, "What's the matter? Someone made you angry?" He glanced at the tray, "Just let the little eunuch do these things, Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Xun Zhen leaned into his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I will accept no one's anger. I would like to do something for you with my own hands."

"Fool, if I wasn't the prince, you and I wouldn't be able to meet each other, wouldn't that be a lot less fun?" He smiled, comforting her somewhat depressed mood at the moment.

The cicadas on the branches outside were still screaming loudly, but the hearts of the people in the room were restless.

It has been more than half a year since Liu Xinmei returned to the mansion, and Yu Wenhong is always in her heart. Seeing her mother coming in happily, she gave up her seat with a smile, and personally served the iced plum soup in front of her, "Mother, what is the happy event?"

"Xinmei, the imperial decree for choosing a concubine for the crown prince has been issued this year. I thought it would be autumn, but I didn't expect it to be issued in midsummer." Liu Xinmei's mother, Sun Shi, said.

Liu Xinmei's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked her mother for confirmation, "Mother, is there a place for me?"

"My son is so outstanding, how can there be no quota?" Sun said.

Liu Xinmei smiled reassuringly and took a step closer to him. Her girlish heart was beating endlessly. Under her mother's playful gaze, she lowered her head shyly, and after a long while, she couldn't help saying: "Mother, this time I am Apart from me, who else has the best chance for the position of concubine?"

Sun frowned, "Of course it is Tang Ruyu, the niece of the Empress Tang's natal family, and Gu Qingman, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I heard that the former prince once praised her for her knowledge of books and etiquette. Everyone should be like this. If it is not the main concubine, the side concubine must also be in her pocket."

Liu Xinmei recited these two names silently. It seemed that one had to know oneself and one's enemy to be invincible. For the throne of the crown prince and concubine, it seemed that one had to do some homework.

The women from various families who received the imperial palace’s orders are all preparing to enter the palace. Some are happy and others are sad. Except for the three-year draft, the selection of concubines by the crown prince is the most grand. Compared with the emperor’s old age, he is in his prime The prince is even more impressive.
