But if the eldest princess takes the initiative to bring it up to the officials, the officials will most likely agree, and they won't think that he is a clique for selfish reasons and has an impure mind.
And he will also be given a big official.
The importance of the eldest princess in the hearts of the officials was clearly understood by the entire court.
But Zhao Yunliang still had fear on his face: "Auntie, it's really good for me to do this. If auntie says this, it will make things more difficult for the officials."
"How can an official manage such a huge country if he doesn't even have that kind of ambition? As a descendant of the Zhao family, you should share the worries of the court. My aunt knows what you are worried about, and I don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
Seeing this, Zhao Yunliang reluctantly agreed.
Suddenly, I felt that the afterglow falling on me was no longer so uncomfortable.
Still warm.
After walking for a while, Deputy Yang hurried over with several palace attendants: "The young ones are late, which makes the eldest princess tired. This is the order given by the official family. Please invite the eldest princess."
"The officials are interested."
The eldest princess held the hands of Li Liuyu and Mrs. Li, and sat on the buchu. The others followed, chatting with the eldest princess from time to time, and arrived at Chui Gong Hall in about two-quarters of an hour.
Today is a family banquet, and there are not many people, so we put it in the small Chui Gong Hall.
The main focus is warmth.
By that time, the sun had completely set.
Lights had already been lit up everywhere in the palace. Not only did it look like daylight, it was very bright.
Not long after the eldest princess arrived, Zhao Zhen arrived with the queen and other concubines. Except for the eldest princess, everyone else had to bow respectfully and wait for the official's voice before they could take their seats in order.
Songs and dances began to enter the venue one after another, and the banquet officially began.
Originally, according to Zhao Zhen's wishes, he wanted to hold a state banquet, and let the courtiers of the fourth rank and above bring their families to the palace for the banquet, so that the king and his ministers would have fun together.
But the war in Xixia was complicated and changeable.
Xixia has obviously handed over a letter of surrender, but it appears to be one thing but behind the scenes. According to reports from the scouts, Xixia is still resisting tenaciously.
Zhao Zhen didn't expect that just after holding a state banquet, news came from the front that Xixia was heading south again.
It would be a good idea to wait until Xixia surrenders completely before celebrating again.
In the middle of the song and dance, Mrs. Feng, who usually kept a low profile in the palace, suddenly said: "Looking at these young girls, I remembered that when Zhang Meiren danced, her dancing was really amazing. I wonder who is better than these dancers?" A bargain."
Lady Feng, named Feng Kejiao, entered the palace as a daughter of a good family when she was nine years old. When she was thirteen, she was granted the title of a noble county lady.
Until now, her position has not been promoted.
On the other hand, Zhang Wanqing was the Lord of Qinghe County from the beginning, and was awarded titles along the way, including Cai Ren, Xiu Yuan, Mei Ren, and Jie Yu.
If it hadn't been for the death of Princess Baohe last year and the impeachment of the court officials, and she was pressured to ask herself to be a beauty, I'm afraid her current status would be even higher.
Zhang Wanqing is only two years older than her.
But her status is something that I can't even catch up to even if I try to flatter her.
If you say you are not jealous, that would be a lie.
She didn't believe that the Queen wouldn't be jealous, but because of her status, she didn't like to be sour and jealous.
Then let her come as the pawn.
Anyway, if Zhang Wanqing is not dealt with, life will be difficult for everyone in the palace.
She just wanted to compare her to a dancer.
But Feng Kejiao had made a mistake. Zhang Wanqing did not feel offended. Instead, she raised her chin: "We all entered the palace at the age of seven or eight and started as Master Attendants in the palace. Who is more noble than others? I still have it. She has a certain skill and is able to dominate the crowd with her dancing posture. What talents does Madam Feng have that she can bring to the table?"
Jia stood behind him and breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Zhang Wanqing's words.
I was afraid that Zhang Wanqin would be provoked by Mrs. Feng and start a crime.
It's true that the officials doted on her, but today is the first day of the year, and all the Zhao family members are here, so many elders, especially the eldest princess, are looking at her with good eyes.
If she does this, she will be punished.
If the eldest princess and others say something, it's hard to say whether she will fall out of favor.
Fortunately, after the last attempt to frame the queen and Zhang Maoze for having an affair failed, she listened to the advice.
Zhang Wanqing's reckless character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Saying this suddenly made Feng Kejiao speechless.
Even Cao Yuyan also set her sights on Zhang Wanqing. She is indeed not as harmless as she appears on the surface.
Is it possible to suppress all the women in the harem without harming humans and animals?
She was too careless before.
Only then can such a person gain a foothold in the harem step by step.
Fortunately, her stomach was not up to expectations. Otherwise, if she had not given birth to the eighth princess this time, but the fourth prince of the official family, she would have been directly promoted to the rank of concubine.
"Yes, I can't. It's not like you. What kind of dance is that? It's just to invite favors!"
"Ms. Feng, be careful what you say."
Cao Yuyan spoke up to prevent Feng Kejiao from continuing.
If we go on, Zhang Wanqing spoiled the banquet and was punished.
Wouldn't that further fuel Zhang Wanqing's arrogance?
With such an episode.
The banquet was much quieter.
The eldest princess was old and didn't eat much. She saw that the official was in a good mood. Thinking of Zhao Yunliang's incident, she turned sideways and said to the official: "Your Majesty, this year, the government has laid off many officials. I see that Yunliang has been laid off for so many years." He is idle at home, burying all his talents in vain. Now is the time for the country to employ people, so why not arrange an official position for Yunliang? This can also relieve your worries! "
The eldest princess's voice was calm, neither anxious nor slow.
When he spoke, he did not look at Zhao Yunliang, as if he was talking to the official family about the most common family matters.
"Your Majesty, we are all descendants of the Zhao family, and we should serve the imperial court faithfully."
This is my most beloved aunt.
No one else, Zhao Zhen would have been able to listen so peacefully.
"Auntie, I will seriously consider it."
The eldest princess smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is still kind. If you use Yunliang, the ministers in the court will only say that you are broad-minded, and Yunliang will not let you down."
Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed, and he walked around the eldest princess and looked at Zhao Yunliang opposite, seeing him quietly drinking wine and only occasionally saying a few words to Mrs. Li.
"Auntie has so much confidence in him?"
"I have watched him grow up, and he is the most promising child of your Uncle Eighth Prince. He was not able to control what happened back then. Now, for so many years, he has been idle at home because of this matter, and he is not a person. thing."
Wangjiacun
After two rounds, unexpectedly someone came again.
It was the eldest cousin who brought twelve, fourteen, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen together.
Yishuang Yili also came here, as well as Qu'er, who was already nine years old.
They followed Aunt Wu in the kitchen.
Yishuang was responsible for the tea, Yili was responsible for the food, and Qu'er was taken by Gu Qingming to play in the peach forest.
The courtyard, which was deserted during the day, became more and more lively.
Aunt Wu wiped her tears while busy: "It's great."
Meng Siniang looked outside through the door frame and echoed: "Yes, we came to the Gu family as errands. We really came to the right place."
