Jiang Xinyue looked confused: "Ah? Why? Is it because I, my concubine, did my father make any contributions?"
Emperor Xuanwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What did I say about you, my precious concubine? As soon as the concubines next to me heard that I was going to promote their father, they immediately knelt down to thank me. It's better for you to ask me why?"
Jiang Xinyue hurriedly showed her courtesy, pulled Emperor Xuanwu to sit down, poured him a cup of hot tea herself, and beat his back and said: "The emperor wants to promote my father's official position, of course I am happy, but I don't want the emperor to have a relationship because of me." And he was promoted to an official position by his father. Once upon a time when I was at home, my father taught me that I would not get rewarded if I had no merit. He also told me that if I am too ambitious and greedy for things that I cannot control, I will suffer backlash. I am afraid... I am afraid of my father's ability. It’s not enough. In the end, the emperor will be blamed by civil and military officials, which is not cost-effective.”
She hugged the emperor's neck from behind, her small cherry mouth lingering on Emperor Xuanwu's sensitive neck: "My concubine and my father have the same idea. If he is promoted, it should only be because of his strong ability, and nothing else. "
The emperor said seriously: "I have been observing Jiang Aiqing for a long time. He is worthy of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. If not, I will not waste such an important official position on him."
The father of Su Guiren, who killed Xiao Aijiang before, was a doctor in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. However, because of his incompetence in educating his daughter, Su Guiren was involved in losing his official position. He could not survive in the capital, and later returned to his hometown.
The Minister of Punishment was a relative of the Su family, and he was also very close to the Su family. He was also liquidated and dismissed by the emperor. The post of Shangshu of the Punishment Department has been empty to this day. Both the Song family and the Pei family wanted to arrange for their own people to take over, but the emperor kept asking them to do so. One's own people fight one's own people.
Now this huge pie has fallen on Jiang Yankunde's head. Above the court, the danger of the cheap father is probably not much less than hers.
After receiving the emperor's approval, Jiang Xinyue beamed with joy, gave him a big kiss on the face, and said directly this time: "Then I will thank the emperor on behalf of my father first!"
Emperor Xuanwu grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms: "Every time my beloved concubine thanks me, is it just a lip service?"
Jiang Xinyue: Otherwise?
The delicate kiss fell, Jiang Xinyue's soft and boneless hands were placed on Emperor Xuanwu's shoulders, and her fingers deliberately teased his earlobes, making his kiss more passionate.
"My beloved concubine, can you..."
"Can't!"
Jiang Xinyue gasped and put a finger against his hot lips: "The baby in my concubine's belly has already taken shape. How could you do...that kind of thing in front of him?"
She is obviously about to become a mother, but her mind is still like that of a child. She actually thinks that if she does that kind of thing, the child in her belly will see her.
Emperor Xuanwu liked her innocence and would not destroy it. He lowered his head and took a deep breath on Jiang Xinyue's neck. After a long while, he lightly pecked her face: "It seems that our child Even before she was born, she has already taken my place in my beloved concubine’s heart.”
Jiang Xinyue: That’s because you have no idea about your own status.
"Empress..."
The soft voice of a magpie sounded outside: "It's time for you to drink soup. Manager Gao made you Huaishan Lean Meat and Pigeon Soup today. The slave is coming in!"
Shuangjiang reminded her at the door just now, remember to say hello before coming in, because the emperor was not honest the few times she came in, and... no... the emperor was always in love with her mother-in-law.
Jiang Xinyue quickly took the opportunity to push the emperor away, almost pushing him off the chair.
Finally, he avenged the emperor's revenge for nearly throwing Concubine Li to the ground when she fell into the water.
Magpie poured the richly fragrant squab soup into a small bowl and held it to Jiang Xinyue with both hands: "My dear, be careful of scalding it."
The yam has been stewed for a long time, and the fresh and salty taste of pigeon meat and lean meat has been incorporated into it. It melts in your mouth and is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow it in your tongue.
But after Jiang Xinyue took two sips, she refused to drink any more. She pushed the entire soup can in front of Emperor Xuanwu, and looked at him for help with a pair of big bright eyes, filled with watery mist.
The emperor was used to it. These days, he helped to drink all the tonic soup that Zhenbi couldn't finish.
He used to think that he would not gain weight no matter how much he ate, but now he no longer thinks so. In just a few days, his dragon robe has become a size tighter.
This woman is pregnant, so she is really more tired than him when he goes to court. Going to court is tiring, so it takes a lot of effort.
Pregnancy is mentally and physically tiring. You have to worry all the time about whether the baby is growing well in the belly and whether it will be delivered safely.
The number of concubines who died in childbirth in the palace could not be counted with two hands.
So this time Jiang Xinyue was pregnant, Emperor Xuanwu was particularly nervous.
And Jiang Xinyue would make Xuan Fang Rumeng come to Hexi Palace every seven days. On the surface, she wanted to make clothes for her, but secretly, she came to measure her abdominal circumference.
In the 21st century, in addition to being the ace publicist of a high-end club, Jiang Xinyue also works part-time as a psychologist in a private aristocratic hospital. In addition to the psychology department, the hospital also has gynecology, andrology, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology.
She has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. She knows all the basic prenatal check-up items.
The purpose of measuring the abdominal circumference is to know how big the baby will be and whether she will be born well by then.
Several times Emperor Xuanwu saw Fang Rumeng measuring her abdominal circumference, and Fang Rumeng was extremely nervous. However, Jiang Xinyue told her that the emperor only remembered the beautiful and fragrant woman, and did not remember her at all, so she could rest assured.
Fang Rumeng didn't know whether to feel relieved or angry after hearing this.
Fortunately, her ambition is not to be the emperor, so it doesn't matter whether she looks good or not.
However, Jiang Xinyue really knew the emperor. After meeting him so many times, he did not recognize Fang Rumeng as the female official of the weaving department who had testified for Su Guiren.
Jiang Xinyue just blew a few words in his ear, saying that Fang Rumeng was just a low-level female history clerk in the dressing room. Because she always liked to ask Fang Nvshi to come and have her body measured, she had aroused dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction among other people in the dressing room. Suspicion made Fang Nu Shi feel marginalized.
After Emperor Xuanwu asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he learned that there was still a shortage of one of the official clothes in the dressing room. Lin Siyi and Wang Siyi, the directors of the dressing room, originally wanted to promote one of the two chiefs of the sixth rank.
As a result, Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and directly promoted Fang Rumeng, who was a seventh-rank female historian, to a fifth-rank official.
Now things are exciting in the wardrobe room. The other three female historians couldn't stand it when Fang Rumeng hugged Empress Zhen's lap. Now they are relying on Empress Zhen and become the second-in-command of the wardrobe room. The boss of their immediate boss.
The female historians didn't mention it lightly, but Fang Rumeng occupied the official position that should have been promoted to the director of clothes, which is equivalent to saying that the entire wardrobe room was offended by Fang Rumeng.
But Jiang Xinyue and Fang Rumeng are both ambitious people, otherwise they wouldn't have been good sisters in the first place.
Based on the principle that it is mediocre not to attract jealousy, both of them were very satisfied with the emperor's decision.
