Her imperial sister has been bribed by the imperial concubine's small profits.
"Mother, do we really not care?"
On the way back, Shuangjiang expressed her worries: "What if the second princess thinks that you killed Concubine De, then she..."
How else can I say it’s hard to be a stepmother?
Jiang Xinyue walked slowly: "It's not that we don't care, but this matter is not ours to deal with. She is the emperor's princess, and the emperor should take care of it himself."
If you don't manage well, you will get complaints. If you want to manage well, you have to spend a lot of energy. The second princess is not a child who has not yet formed her three views. If she is raised crookedly, she is raised crookedly. It is difficult to change it.
It's not her own child, so it's so tiring for her to put so much effort into doing it.
She is not a Holy Mother and does not need everyone to like her.
If you want the emperor to take charge, you have to let the emperor hear the second princess scolding Jiang Xinyue.
Shuangjiang's eyes as bright as grapes rolled around a few times, then turned around and told the little palace maid behind him: "Go back and find some good materials in the empress's warehouse. If you want velvet fabrics, pick the best ones and send them to Yanqing Palace." To the second princess."
The palace maid didn't understand why she had to specify velvet fabrics, but Jiang Xinyue had already raised her lips and smiled: "It's too cold today. The second princess is in her prime, so she should make more beautiful clothes. In a few days, she will It’s time for the election of show girls, and by then all the new show girls will be in full bloom, so don’t say that I didn’t make beautiful clothes for them.”
This word reached the emperor's ears, and it turned out that Jiang Xinyue was very considerate of the second princess and was not the least bit mean to the second princess because of her relationship with Concubine De.
Moreover, the emperor had previously sent Wang Dequan to Fengxian Palace to deliver warm clothes to the third prince, but the third prince said that Empress Zhen had already sent them to him.
Wang Dequan also looked at the cotton-padded clothes made according to the size of the third prince, and the mattresses on the bed were all thick quilts weighing seven or eight kilograms, and the kang was very hot.
The servants of Fengxian Palace all said that the Imperial Concubine had beaten them and they were not allowed to neglect the Third Prince. Otherwise, if she found out about it, no matter how hard the backers were, they would be unable to bear it.
"The Imperial Concubine is kind-hearted."
Wang Dequan smiled and replenished the emperor's tea: "This slave's poison can be cured, and it's thanks to the empress that she asked Jiang Shangshu to give him an extra pair. I have never seen anyone more soft-hearted than my empress."
The emperor smiled and shook his head: "You! You still don't understand her too well. How can she be kind? She protects her shortcomings, extremely protective of her shortcomings. If you treat her three points well, she will definitely repay you seven points. Whenever she protects you She doesn’t want the people under her wings to be wronged or bullied.”
But if it were her enemy, or someone who betrayed her, she would no longer be a soft-hearted god, but a ruthless Lord of Hell.
"So it has to be you, the emperor! No one knows the temperament of the imperial concubine better than you."
Emperor Xuanwu thought of Jiang Xinyue, the sixth prince, and that Jiang Xinyue was still pregnant with his little princess. His heart felt hot, so hot that his heart melted. It was so warm that his empty heart finally found a home. .
Wang Dequan chuckled and suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, there are only two days left for the contestants to enter the palace. Do you have regulations here? If so, the slaves will be able to communicate with the imperial concubine. "
Who should be kept and who should not be kept? Don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
In previous years, the draft was chosen by the Queen Mother and the Empress together with the concubines in the harem. The Emperor never participated, but only gave a few lists, and the list was a list of show girls who must be retained.
"Need not."
Emperor Xuanwu put down his pen: "I will go with Yue'er this time."
Otherwise, I'm afraid this jealousy will be overturned again.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he chooses draft girls or not in the future. In the past three years, he has eradicated dissidents and investigated the two major families of Song and Pei. There are also more than a dozen families dependent on them, large and small. Has declined.
The current court is either from the aristocratic families that he personally supported, such as the Jiang family, Jiang family, and Jing family, or from poor families who passed the imperial examination and entered the court as officials.
He has appointed his own people in important positions.
It doesn’t mean much whether you choose a female draft or not.
But the draft is held every three years. This is a rule that has been followed by all dynasties from ancient times to the present. It cannot be abolished at will.
If a precedent is set from him, in the future his son, his grandson, his great-grandson... kings from generation to generation, as long as they have a love brain and abolish the draft for the woman they love, will use him to make trouble.
They will all say that they are following their ancestors.
Who is that ancestor?
He was the one who was wronged.
Therefore, although it is of little significance, the emperor still cannot abolish the draft system.
This precedent cannot be set.
Tang Shiliang came in from outside the door, tore up the small note given by Shuang Jiang and threw it into the incense burner at the entrance. He did not speak immediately. Instead, he waited until the emperor finished processing the memorial and was about to go to bed, and then he changed out of his dragon robe. : "I heard that the second princess went to see the eldest princess again today and cried, saying that the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were disrespectful to her. The servant thought that the emperor has not visited the second princess for some days. The people from Qintian Prison said that the weather will be good tomorrow. Why not go to the second princess’s place and have a look?”
After all, she is also her own daughter, how can she not feel distressed at all?
Even if she doesn't feel bad, a princess is a princess and the master of the palace, and there is no reason to be bullied by a slave.
"Then after tomorrow's court, we will go to Yanqing Palace to have a look."
Tang Shiliang got the specific time and felt at ease. While he was pouring water for the emperor's feet, he summoned his confidant eunuch: "Go to Hexi Palace to find Shuangjiang and tell her..."
On the second day, the heavy snow will stop, and the entire palace will be shrouded in silvery white.
Qin Tianjian said that this year's winter was longer than in previous years. Because of this, there was still heavy snow in March.
In the Yanqing Palace, Concubine Ru wore the hairstyle of the concubine of Dayan Palace and looked back and forth in front of the bronze mirror: "Dayan is indeed the celestial dynasty. Look at this exquisite step. No matter how much we imitate it, we can't learn the essence. .”
"Bang!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the attic behind. Rufei pricked up her ears to listen, but she couldn't hear what was being said behind her. She could only hear the second princess crying again.
Rufei's personal maid Hui Yuan rolled her eyes unhappily: "Princess, I heard that many people died in this palace where we live! I heard the maids said that the lotus garden that was sealed in the backyard was dug from inside. A dozen dead people came out, all killed by the second princess’s biological mother.”
"Don't listen to their nonsense."
Ru Fei curled her lips indifferently: "I know that the women in the Yan Dynasty are very scheming and want to provoke me to have trouble with the emperor. I am not that stupid!"
Hui Yuan sighed: "But His Majesty the Emperor doesn't come to our place either!"
"The Emperor has arrived——"
Speaking of the emperor, isn’t the emperor already here?
