Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 56
"That's right, I've heard my daughter say it before. At the Lantern Festival this year, I saw Miss Yang San swim with King Qi with my own eyes!" Yang Shangshu's opponent, Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, Mr. Zheng, added insult to injury.His eldest daughter is Zheng Zhaoyi in the palace, and he has a son under his knee.The daughters of the Zheng and Yang families were fighting to the death in the palace, and the two families were also fighting openly and secretly in the court.The Yang family has a shallow foundation, but the Zheng family is different. The Zheng family is not only an official, but also has a lot of achievements in business, and its background is richer than the Yang family.Even though the king of Qi has the support of the concubine Xian, his grandson is the prince. As we all know, the queen mother loves the emperor's grandson the most, and there is nothing to be afraid of with the queen mother.

"King Qi, what do you say?" Xuanyuan Hang looked back at Xuanyuan Orange and said.

"My brother has nothing to say." Xuanyuan Orange said in a deep voice with a cold face.

Some officials looked at Xuanyuan Orange's appearance, and their evaluation of him was even lower.It's not that there is nothing to say, the matter has come to this point, the blame is to blame Xuanyuan Orange and Yang Yuting for being too arrogant.Not only the wealthy families all over the capital know, but even some common people know about it.Now that the Xia family finds out, the more sophistry, the more embarrassing it will be.

Some officials who supported King Qi didn't want to see Xuanyuan Orange suffer from this dumbness, so they hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, that Miss Xuan has no talent, no virtue and no good looks, and she is not worthy of His Highness King Qi. Besides, King Qi The marriage between His Highness and Miss Yang was personally appointed by Concubine Xian."

Xia Wenyuan sneered and said, "If His Royal Highness Qi really questioned Miss Xuan's talent, appearance and character, he would just retire the engagement in a fair manner and find a happy marriage. Why do such sneaky things? As far as I know, Miss Xuan that day When the engagement was annulled, she didn't do anything radical, and she didn't resist the order to refuse to annul the engagement. You can imagine Miss Xuan's character. Besides, the marriage contract between Miss Xuan and King Qi was bestowed by the late emperor!" Who is more important in marrying the concubine?To put it more seriously, the concubine's contradictory marriage contract with the first emperor can already question the concubine's character.

"Okay, stop arguing, does Yang Shangshu have a defense?" Xuanyuan Hang stopped those who still wanted to speak.

Yang Guoyan's transformation from a small sesame official to a third-rank official was not in vain.Knowing that Xia Yushi came prepared, no matter how much he quibbles, he simply pleaded guilty. "The lower officials are negligent in managing the affairs of the mansion, and they are not strict with the little girl. I ask the emperor to punish me."

Xuanyuanhang was happy with Yang Guoyan's understanding of current affairs, and he didn't really want to punish his minister and beloved younger brother because of a trivial matter. "Since this is the case, Yang Shangshu will fine you one year's salary, and Qi Wang will fine you half a year's salary. In addition, Ms. Xuan is gentle and virtuous, and she will give you a hundred taels of gold, ten bolts of silk, and two jade ruyi handles. Even if I give makeup to Mr. Zhongshu's granddaughter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Yushi said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Shangshu said with a livid face.

"Thank you, Brother Huang," said the gloomy King Qi.

The matter of impeachment was dealt with so unsaltedly by the emperor, but the follow-up matter did not end.Before Yang Shangshu returned home, rumors of impeachment spread like wind among the aristocratic families in the capital.Moreover, it was also rumored that the old man Yang was the uncle of Xuanhai Moon Palace Master, and Yang Guoyan was the cousin of Xuanhai Moon Palace Master.

What's more, rumors came from somewhere that Yang Shangshu didn't like the unremarkable niece of Xuanxin Palace, so he asked Yang Yuting, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, to seduce King Qi.One person said it was a rumor, and 100 people said it was a fact.No matter where he went, Yang Guoyan felt that others looked at him differently, but he couldn't get angry and could only go home in the carriage in a daze.

And Xuan Haiyue in Xuanfu got up early today, sat in front of the mirror, and combed her makeup.

The jet-black long hair slipped between the snow-white fingers, coiled into a bun, the jade hairpin was loosely tied up, and a golden step was inserted, and the long bead ornaments trembled and swayed between the temples , the eyebrows are not drawn, but the skin is white and greasy without powder, and the lips are crimson, and they are as bright as dandelion.

Coral chains and red jade bracelets are gesturing between the wrists. Finally, the crimson bead chains are worn on the wrists. The white ones are like snow, and the red ones are like fire. One line, suddenly showing that graceful figure, wandering in front of the mirror, full of all kinds of amorous feelings.

"Palace Master, the new silk from Jinxiuxuan and the cotton wadding from Qinmian Spun are here." Yanxia said cheerfully holding a few pieces of beautiful silk.

Xuan Haiyue stood up, came to the table, looked at the silk and cotton wool on the table, and smiled knowingly.Since the establishment of a new agricultural production base in the Western Regions a year ago, the production of fine-staple cotton has been increasing day by day. Now the area where cotton is grown has expanded to the vast areas of southern Xinjiang and the TLF Basin in addition to Manas Town.After a long period of cooperation and exchanges, the villagers in Guloujiazhai also agreed to help the Xuan family breed silver silkworms. The yield and quality of silver silkworms are better than those of ordinary silkworms.The brocade Xuan Haiyue woven with these silver silks is named Su Ni satin, and the silver silks are woven together with other silk threads of Jinxiuxuan to form a light cloud yarn.

"My lord, news came from shopkeeper Feng Liang that Su Ni satin and light cloud yarn have become Jinxiuxuan's branded silks, and their sales are increasing day by day. The sales of Qinmian's fine velvet cotton also exploded last winter. Out of stock." Yan Yun said happily beside him.

The corners of Yanxia's mouth curled up, and she said with bright eyes: "Congratulations, Palace Master, everything that Palace Master did in the Western Regions a year ago was not in vain. Jinxiuxuan has now become one of the largest silk producers in China."

Yan Yun said: "The colors of the Palace Master's clothes are mostly white, green, and beige. Why don't you use a few bolts of satin to make some pink, purple, and blue clothes. Xuanxin Palace only wears plain clothes like that, so you have to make a few gorgeous and decent clothes."

"Okay, just do as you want. Put the cotton wool away first. It's spring now, so you don't need a thick quilt." Xuan Haiyue said softly.

"Okay, this servant will immediately ask someone to make new clothes for the Palace Master." Yan Yun went out happily holding the silk and satin.

Xuan Haiyue walked to the embroidery frame beside her and continued to embroider the unfinished embroidery picture. Embroidery is a matter that requires patience.But for Xuan Haiyue, who learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts and spiritual arts from her parents since childhood, what she lacks most is patience.

Yanxia was watching Xuan Haiyue's embroidery, and suddenly remembered something: "Master, when the third uncle's wife came to visit a few days ago, she said that there are too few maids around the master. Do you want to add a few more, so as not to be troubled by the wind in the future?" The palace is not pretty."

Xuan Haiyue frowned. There were few people around her. She didn't know it, but at the beginning of this year, she only brought Xuan Bing, Xuan Yu and the disciples they led to the capital.And there are only Yanyun and Yanxia who are waiting by her side. Firstly, Xuan Haiyue likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be followed.The second is that I have been used to being served by misty clouds since I was a child.It's just that you can't be so casual when you arrive at Fengwang Mansion in the future.
