"But at that time, the emperor did not say that he would be demoted. He only asked the subordinate to follow him to Baoning Mansion and serve as an imperial envoy."
Wang Jiewen felt guilty after saying this.
He naturally knew that the emperor's words at that time meant to demote him.
It's not clearly stated.
Then he can pretend not to understand, as long as someone is willing to protect himself.
He would follow him to Baoning Mansion honestly, and when the time came to follow His Highness back to the capital, he would still be able to sit back in his original position.
But it's different now.
His position was taken.
Or went through the service of the Ministry of Personnel.
He himself is a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he naturally knows that if this appointment can be passed, someone will definitely take action behind it.
Xiao Guiqing, the first assistant, is the most likely candidate.
Cao Guoshi stared at him, "You are stupid. You didn't even understand the matter clearly, and you turned against the emperor."
"Now that you've ended up like this, what can I do to help you?"
"Sir, as long as you are willing to help, I am willing to do anything."
Cao Guoshi narrowed his eyes and said, "Have you heard about His Highness's tonsure?"
"Listen...I heard it." Wang Jiewen responded timidly.
While looking at him cautiously.
Cao Guoshi reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"If something happens to His Highness, I really can't care about you, but you are my employee after all."
"You do one thing for me, and I will help you wait for Baoning Mansion. At least you can return to the official department."
Wang Jiewen agreed without hesitation.
Only those who have been officials in the capital will know how difficult it is for local officials to get on the stage. After all, they cannot even see the emperor, let alone be remembered by name, so they will naturally sit on the bench for the rest of their lives.
"Go to the Emperor in person and tell him that you want to find out how to grow beets from the Eighteenth Princess."
"This booklet records all the farming affairs. After you read it, tell me about your preparations in the past two days."
Although Wang Jiewen thought Cao Guoshi's task was strange, he still took it.
He found it very simple.
Much simpler than other things.
"Remember, tell me what you see and hear in the palace when you come back." Cao Guoshi warned with a serious expression.
Wang Jiewen nodded subconsciously.
With doubts in his heart, he left Cao Mansion.
royal palace.
Qinzheng Hall.
Emperor Yunwu heard that Duke Lin'an said that Lord Wang Jiewen wanted to see him.
Emperor Yunwu waved his hand impatiently.
"not see."
Eunuch Lin'an left and came in again shortly after.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wang came to ask Princess Eighteen how to grow sugar beets, a new crop."
"Is it his turn to ask for sugar beet planting?" Emperor Yunwu sneered, "I punished him to endure hardship, not to enjoy happiness."
"Go tell Lao San that you can do whatever you want."
Emperor Yunwu had long suffered from the suffering of these courtiers who did not do practical things but were always threatening him.
Now that Wang Jiewen has been caught, it would be strange to let him go.
The father-in-law of Lin'an couldn't laugh or cry.
But he still patiently reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang mentioned the eighteenth princess, I'm afraid he mainly wanted to inquire about the little princess."
"It's Shiba's turn to inquire?" Emperor Yunwu narrowed his eyes.
"Where is Wang Jiewen? It's clearly Cao Guoshi who is behind it!"
Eunuch Lin'an also thought so in Emperor Yunwu's heart.
But now.
It depends on how Emperor Yunwu makes the decision.
If Wang Jiewen is allowed to hear the voice of the eighteenth princess, then it is estimated that the specialness of the eighteenth princess will not be hidden soon.
"Let him go back."
"Let the third child take the person away."
Emperor Yunwu made the decision without hesitation.
Now is not the time to let Cao Guoshi know that Shiba is special.
The other party could unite with Concubine Xian and drug herself. He was really worried about what Cao Guoshi would do after he knew the news.
After all, a dog would jump over the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention how much power and energy Cao Guoshi had under him. He had not yet fully controlled it. This was not the right time to expose him.
"yes."
Father Lin'an went out.
He smiled and said to Wang Jiewen, "Master Wang, the Emperor is busy and has no time to see you. His Highness the Third Highness will arrange such a small matter."
"Are you dissatisfied with His Highness's arrangement and came here to complain to the Emperor?"
Wang Jiewen, "???"
What did you say?
Slandering people will make you brainless, you know.
"Eunuch Lin, what you said is really an injustice to me."
"I really don't have this intention."
Wang Jiewen felt so depressed that his chest was heaving and he was in a very bad mood.
Now that he is despised by the emperor and has not completed the tasks assigned by Cao Guoshi, he really does not dare to offend Lin'an.
Lin'an was happy to see him like this.
At first he deliberately went against the emperor in court.
They don't care about the lives and deaths of the people at all.
When they only care about fighting for power and profit.
How come I never thought that I might end up like this?
Eunuch Lin'an sneered in his heart.
He looked at him as if he were looking at something dead.
"Okay, Lord Wang, the Emperor is too busy to see you. If you don't understand anything, you'd better ask His Highness the Third Prince."
"The Third Highness's people are here, so I won't disturb you."
Wang Jiewen froze.
When I turned around, I saw the servant next to Yun Zhen coming over.
Wait until Lin'an leaves.
He left the palace dejectedly with the servants beside Yun Zhen.
There was news that Wang Jiewen had no choice but to be dealt with by His Highness the Third Highness in the blink of an eye.
Soon it reached Cao Guoshi's ears.
Cao Guoshi cursed trash in a low voice.
He stood up suddenly.
He turned around and went to see Yun Chen.
At this moment, Yunwu had just woken up. Although the baby's life of eating, sleeping and eating was very comfortable, it was still boring after sleeping for a long time.
She tapped her finger on the invisible screen in front of her.
Looking for some interesting gossip to read.
At this time.
Concubine Lin was checking the sale contract in her hand.
Yunwu gave those recipes to Concubine Lin some time ago.
Concubine Lin arranged for someone to open a restaurant in the capital first.
Then, in the village outside the capital, people were arranged to raise pigs and prepare ingredients for the restaurant. These contracts belonged to the people in the restaurant.
"Your Majesty, the chef in the restaurant is almost ready. We can pick an auspicious day to open the restaurant."
"On auspicious days, go to the National Preceptor to choose."
Concubine Lin was expressing her stance to Emperor Yunwu.
"yes."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Your Majesty, the Pure Concubine, would like to invite someone to come to the palace to sing an opera. She also invites you to listen with the Eighteenth Princess."
Ruyi glanced at Yunwu cautiously.
Concubine Lin frowned when she heard what was behind her.
"I'll just go, forget about eighteen."
Concubine Lin thought to herself that Concubine Chun must have bad intentions. If she hugs Shiba, Shiba's specialness will be discovered.
We can’t get rid of all the opera singers by then.
At that time, public opinion will be uncontrollable.
What's more.
Eighteen is still young, who knows what Chunfei will do.
It is impossible for the other party to succeed in plotting against oneself.
With Shiba here, the emperor will never misunderstand.
She also has to protect her daughter.
"Let's do this, send Shiba to the emperor."
Shiba blinked, still not understanding how her mother-in-law could have such a good relationship with her father.
Then he was sent away by Grandma Yun.
When she was sent away, if Concubine Lin hadn't insisted that nothing would happen to her and that she would be protected by people arranged by the emperor, she would have been worried about leaving.
