Kunning Palace——
"Empress..."
The fabric Magpie was wearing was a new foreign material imported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was very dazzling. She stepped forward quickly and said, "The person who broke the chariot... has been caught..."
"Where are the people?"
"Bring it up!"
A concubine in green clothes, who was not as luxurious as a magpie, was brought in.
Her appearance was only delicate, her skin was sallow, and in the golden autumn of September, she was only wearing a thin gray gown. Her eyes were too guilty to raise her eyes, and her hands were holding on to the clothes nervously: "Concubine... I have seen this before. The Queen of Heaven.”
She knelt on the ground, and before Jiang Xinyue could speak, her body was shaking non-stop, and she cried and begged for mercy: "The Queen of Heaven, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me..."
Since the bones were so soft, there was no need for interrogation. Jiang Xinyue just waved her hand and asked Jiang Chuan to take the person down, crying and crying, which was very annoying.
Shuang Jiang only felt that since his wife was named the Queen of Heaven and studied with the Emperor for a long time, her aura of calmness and self-power had become stronger and stronger, and she looked more and more like the Emperor.
She folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bent forward and said: "Your Majesty, you are the daughter of a small county magistrate. When you entered the palace, you were a Cai Nv. After a few days, you were promoted to Zhaoyi. I have no enmity or enmity with you. , It is said that when the late empress was here, they still had hope. Everyone had the opportunity to be promoted. Since you, the empress... they had no hope in life. They saw that the side hall of Yanxi Palace collapsed that day, so they thought of you. The chariot was sawn to pieces."
Magpie angrily said: "How can she, a powerless little Zhaoyi, touch our mother's things?"
Shuangjiang also seemed a little sullen: "There is a beautiful maid next to Yuan Zhaoyi. She was originally brought from the Yuan family. I thought that if Yuan Zhaoyi was pregnant, she could be presented to the emperor to win over the Sacred Heart. Now that there is no hope of winning over the emperor, she was presented to our palace. Here, the eunuch responsible for carrying your chariot is here."
The little palace maid was also forced to do so. The little eunuch had a habit of abusing people. When the little palace maid was rescued, she didn't even have a good skin on her body.
Xiao Xiangzi is in charge of the internal affairs of Kunning Palace. If there is such a person under his command, he must be blamed for his death. He is kneeling in the courtyard to plead guilty!
Magpie looked at his master's face, cautiously, and begged for mercy in a weak tone: "Mother, Xiao Xiangzi punished all the servants who lived with the little eunuch, and interrupted him in front of all the people in Kunning Palace. His hand tendons and hamstrings were thrown into the mass grave, and he was left to die. The palace people were trembling with fear, and no one would dare to betray the empress in a short period of time."
"My dearest lady, if you are really angry, you might as well hit Xiao Xiangzi with a dozen sticks to vent your anger!"
Shuangjiang thought for a while and said: "My dear, my dear, now that my lady is in a high position and busy with government affairs, there are only Xiao Xiangzi and Nanny Xiang in charge of the palace. It is true that there are not enough manpower. If we can transfer some people from the Shang Palace Bureau, there will be no more This happens."
Fang Rumeng, who was promoted by the Empress, is now Fang Shanggong in charge of the Sixth Palace and Twenty-Four Divisions. She has many female officials under her command, and it is not difficult for the Empress to find a few.
"Then this matter will be left to you and Xiao Xiangzi. Fang Shang Palace will not embarrass you. You go and choose a few trustworthy people. I believe in your vision."
Shuang Jiang, in particular, has begun to behave like the head of the first palace. In the future, the internal affairs of Kunning Palace will be handed over to her and Xiao Xiangzi sooner or later.
Magpie, her temperament is not suitable for staying in the palace for a long time. She has someone she likes, so it is better to let her be free outside the palace.
In the afternoon of that day, Shuangjiang brought the four female historians from Shang Gong Bureau into Kunning Palace.
"Slave Equinox."
"Slave, summer solstice."
"Slave Qiuhe."
"Slave Dongxue."
"I've met the Queen of Heaven!"
She has a majestic and round appearance in all seasons. She is not beautiful, but her facial features are correct, which makes people feel comfortable to look at, and her smile is also very approachable.
Fang Rumeng said: "This is specially trained by the lower official for the Queen of Heaven. The four of them are proficient in arithmetic and are intelligent. They will definitely be able to help the Queen of Heaven take away her worries."
In the evening, Jiang Xinyue found Magpie for a heart-to-heart talk.
"Shiwei Meng will be twenty years old in the next year. The Cavalry General's office intends to let him join the army and become the general's deputy. What do you think?"
Magpie's face suddenly turned red behind her ears: "What do you think, slave? I just want to serve you well, but I don't think about anything else."
"You are still being stubborn at this time. Do you think I don't know that several guards have brought you food, but you only accept the one from Guard Meng? Why don't you like him?"
"The pear blossom hairpin you are wearing on your head was carved by him himself, right?"
"On your hand..."
"Empress!"
The magpie stamped its feet, looking a little shy.
"Hurry up and show your attitude, so that I can prepare a dowry for you. In this way, you can get married to him before he enters the military camp. If he has the official position of deputy general, I can make you a royal wife. When you meet in the future, During the New Year and the holidays, you can come to the palace, and we can chat every once in a while, so it’s not like we’ll never see each other again, right?”
As for the Meng family, Jiang Xinyue had already sent someone to inform her. Meng's mother was not from a high background, and her son would definitely be unwilling to marry the most useful female official around the Queen of Heaven.
Meng Qingyu's sister, on the other hand, seemed to want to interfere in her younger brother's marriage. She also used the Hussar General's Palace as a matchmaker and married a deputy general in the army. The deputy general had an orphan who was a former general in the army and was adopted by the deputy general. Meng Qingyu's The brother-in-law wanted to make a match, so his sister acted as a matchmaker, but Meng's mother and Meng Qingyu rejected the offer.
Although the elder sister in the family makes her own decisions, Meng's mother is very sensible and listens to her son's ideas in everything.
Jiang Xinyue believed that Magpie's fierce fighting power was more than enough to deal with a married sister.
"Do you think the slave is stupid and don't want to be a slave anymore?"
Magpie's eyes turned red and tears fell. He sat at Jiang Xinyue's feet, hugged her legs and cried: "I'm wrong, I'll give everything back to him. I don't want to get married. I'm afraid. I don't want to leave." Empress…”
She grew up with her empress since she was a child, and her empress made the decision for her in everything. She was stupid, and she was not afraid of anything as long as her empress was behind her and only supported her.
"How could I not want you? You are just like my biological sister. It is too late for me to wish you happiness, so how could I not want you?"
Jiang Xinyue touched her head: "Magpie, you are different from Shuangsheng. Shuangsheng was sold into the palace, and she will be sold again when she leaves the palace, so she is unwilling to leave the palace, let alone get married. Your parents They are all outside the palace. When you entered the palace with me, your parents were almost blinded by tears. Now, someone has promised me that they will treat you well all their lives, not take concubines in their lives, and make you happy all their lives, and you also I like him, and I hope that you will have children and grandchildren in your life and be happy and contented. Do you understand my intentions?"
