Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 354 Flattery
Qingmu nodded: "My lord is right, we have also discussed these matters. We never knew anything about Xuefuju, nor did we know about the makeup shop. Qingmu is an ordinary woman who came from the frontier. Not knowing at all, even the prince and princess, this is the first time Qingmu has seen them."

"Qingmu, if you can know about this matter, I will rest assured. I will also take the opportunity to mention the matter between Mr. Fang and Miss Xia, but you must also be prepared. In order to balance the forces of all parties, there will be some I won't let Master Fang marry another wife." Feng Yong said with a frown.

Qingmu smiled: "If he goes to talk to the emperor, and the emperor still feels that it is really necessary to balance power, then there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, people are in the temple and cannot help themselves. Qingmu understands that there will be no difference." Resentment. It’s just whether the husband and wife are in harmony, whether they are deeply affectionate or respect each other, only you know. From near to far, from deep to shallow Qingxi. From the highest to the sun and the moon, the closest relatives and the most distant husband and wife. See who thinks, do you think so? ?”

"Miss Xia thinks so, it's worth everyone's hard work." Feng Yong said with a smile.

That day, Qingmu and Fang Yixie didn't say much and left quickly.

Not long after that, it was the post-sealing ceremony.

The post-sealing ceremony was indeed very successful and grand. Feng Yong and Bai Lan arrived in the palace very early, Bai Lan went to see Qin Wanyi, and Feng Yong went to see Wei Huaqing.

Wei Huaqing was wearing a black robe today, with a bright red and a white dress inside, and it looked good when matched.

"See the emperor." Feng Yong hurriedly saluted.

Wei Huaqing smiled and said, "Let's get down, why did you come so early today?"

"The minister and the princess came in early to see if there is anything we can help." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "You have intentions, but these arrangements have been made long ago, there should be nothing that needs help, just take a good rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. By the way, I just passed by Mr. Fang's mansion, and I heard that Mr. Fang's fiancée has arrived at the mansion." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing was a little surprised: "Fiancee? I thought he was evading the marriage offer when he talked about the fiancee."

"I heard that Lord Fang's fiancée came from the frontier, so she is still not familiar with the capital, and Lord Fang is planning to take her out for fun." Feng Yong smiled: "It is estimated that Lord Fang will come to share with the emperor soon. This is joy."

Wei Huaqing smiled: "Unexpectedly, he is still a trustworthy person. I was still thinking about choosing one of the beautiful girls and giving him a marriage."

"The emperor's words are wrong. Mr. Fang has no power in the court, and he has no reliance. He is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. I feel that there is no need to point out some people that Mr. Fang does not like. Besides, Mr. Fang has a low status in the court. High or low, if you follow the agreement of the year and marry your fiancée, you will explain to the public that the ministers in the court are all honest and gentlemen, and it is a good thing to pay attention to promises. The emperor should praise it." Feng Yong said with a smile .

Wei Huaqing nodded: "There is some truth in what you said, but is this woman worthy of him? He is also a young talent. If this woman is an ignorant country woman and child, she is really unsuitable. "

"I heard that this girl is beautiful and well-read, so she shouldn't be bad. However, this family seems to have declined earlier, so the girl has been living in a relative's house, and she is a bit introverted." Feng Yong said lightly.

Wei Huaqing smiled: "It's okay to be introverted, the wives of courtiers don't need to go out to do anything, as long as the two of them get along well, it doesn't matter."

"That's right, but I think it's not bad for Mrs. Fang to bring his fiancée out together. Let the emperor have a look. By the way, he can get in touch with more people. Maybe he's not so shy, what do you think?" Feng Yong suggested road.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "You're right. Let's go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver a decree that Fang Yixie bring his fiancée to the banquet together."

"The minister will go right away." Feng Yong said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Feng Yong resigned and went to the House of Internal Affairs, and saw Li Sheng and Qin Geng who were busy.

"Eunuch Li, Qin Siyi. The emperor heard that Fang Yixie's fiancée has arrived in the capital. He thought it would be better to have a more lively ceremony for the Empress Dowager's ceremony tonight. I hope the House of Internal Affairs will send a set of auspicious clothes to Mr. Fang's house so that Fang Sir, you can bring your fiancée over tonight for a banquet." Feng Yong said with a smile.

When Qin Gentian heard this, she nodded, "It's hard work for the lord to make a trip, and I'll make arrangements for the little one."

After Qin Gentiana left, Li Sheng said with a smile, "Is there anything else the lord has to do this trip?"

"Actually, it's nothing serious, just congratulate Eunuch Li." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng was very flattering: "My lord's meaning, I don't understand."

"En? Eunuch Li doesn't understand? Hearing that Eunuch Li has been promoted to Deputy Chief of the House of Internal Affairs, I came here to congratulate you. So, Eunuch Li hasn't received the notification yet?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng shook his head: "It turns out that the prince is talking about this matter. This is not a formal promotion, but a servant to temporarily take this position."

"This is where I want to congratulate. Eunuch Li, you think, there are so many people, why don't you let someone else take over? It can be seen that the emperor intends to let Eunuch Li do this errand, which is a sign of trust. Besides, if you temporarily If Dai can do well, after that, are you afraid that there will be a day without a manager?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng smiled embarrassingly: "The little one, I will borrow a good word from the prince."

"Besides, I came here to tell my eunuch an insider news. The emperor is going to choose some of the young ladies from the current court's family to give marriages to the current adults. So, when the time comes, maybe there will be a chance to let the eunuch take care of himself." Performance." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng was a little surprised: "Well, no wonder...the little one thanked the prince for the news."

Feng Yong took out a small purse from her bosom and stuffed it to Li Sheng: "These congratulations to Eunuch Li for his promotion, and thank you Eunuch Li for his daily help."

"My lord, you're being polite. You don't need it. How can you be so polite." While talking, Li Sheng accepted the money.

Looking at Li Sheng's appearance, Feng Yong felt that such a person is really easy to bribe, and it was the first time that she was so flattering.

"My lord, this is the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Eunuch Li."

"See Your Majesty."

"Eunuch, why should you be so polite? We are all our own people. I am honored to work with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am very happy in my heart."

"Look at what the prince said. Since the emperor has asked the prince to be responsible for the draft, he trusts the prince. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs is just assisting. Besides, the draft in the past was also organized by the Queen Mother or the Empress. Now the Queen Mother does not ask these questions The Queen has not yet performed the canonization ceremony, so it is only natural that the Emperor chooses to let the Prince take charge. Naturally, we in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will try our best to assist the Prince. We hope that the Prince will not dislike us for not doing things well. "

"You're welcome, father-in-law. Although the drafts were organized by the Queen Mother or the Empress in the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always assisted from the side. In terms of this experience, who among the civil and military officials of the dynasty can compare with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Your Majesty chooses this king. It’s nothing more than a responsible name.”

"My lord's words are wrong. In this draft, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already noticed that something is wrong. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is willing to obey the orders of my lord."

"Could Eunuch Li have found out about this draft..."

"What the lord said, how could the little one not know? This is just a kindness to those veterans. The old ministers have worked hard for the court all their lives. Once they retire and return home, the marriage of the ladies will be the most troublesome issue at that time. Moreover, according to the etiquette system, the daughter of a veteran minister who has retired from her old age does not have the right to be drafted, and this draft is completely due to the great grace of the emperor, so those adults in the dynasty did not come to mix in."

"It's good for my father-in-law to understand. It's just that this draft is a gift from the emperor. It's just that there are some adults in this court, and some still don't give up. They seek to see each other outside the palace every day, which makes me a headache."

"Hey, I shouldn't say something. Those adults are ignorant. If the emperor wants to choose a talent from the family of the current adults, why bother to spend so much trouble?"

"That's right, this really gives me a headache."

"Why does the prince have a headache? If the prince doesn't know how to deal with those adults, just leave it to the younger ones. If the emperor is inconvenient to say, and the prince is inconvenient to say, the younger one will help to say it. When the adults understand the emperor's thoughts, then they I won't be begging to see you at the gate of the prince's mansion every day."

"Then I would like to thank my father-in-law very much. My father-in-law has really helped me a lot."

"What are you so happy about?"

"This is Princess Lan Xin, isn't it? Li Sheng, the little housekeeper, has seen Princess Lan Xin."

"So it's Eunuch Li from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Did I interrupt your discussion? Then I'll go back first."

"Look at what the princess said, there is no need to bother or not. You are the princess now, the emperor's righteous sister, and you will be the prince's concubine in the future. You are one of your own. Why don't you bother? We are just talking about the draft It is the emperor's marriage, and as the righteous sister, the princess can naturally hear it."

"Elder-in-law treats me as one of my own, but you are so polite, you really don't feel that I am your own. Actually, I have nothing to do, but didn't I go to a makeup shop today? After I came back to try it out, I found that the The makeup powder is good, and the products for internal use are also very good, so I thought, the Queen’s Wife is going to be crowned empress soon, so I have to give some congratulatory gifts or something. But I feel a bit shabby when I only give these, so I want to discuss it."

"The princess is joking, the empress is your concubine, how could she dislike the shabby things you gave me? Besides, the princess has seen the world, and if the princess says it is easy to use, it is naturally good. To the empress, wouldn’t that warm the empress’s heart? I remember the last time some empresses in the palace were still saying that the makeup in this palace was tired, and the tribute items were good, but the quantity was too small. You are worrying. If the princess sends these things in, if the empress thinks it is useful, then our Ministry of Internal Affairs will go to buy them, and you will solve the big problem of our Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Father-in-law, you are being polite. I just bought it casually. The emperor's sister-in-law is not sure what she thinks. Why is the father-in-law thanking you? It really hurts me. Since the father-in-law said so, I will ask the shopkeeper to make better bags." , When it’s time for canonization, give it to the emperor’s sister-in-law for a try.”

"Princess's eyesight is very good. If the princess still feels shabby, she can add some exquisite accessories. The little one thinks that the empress is too frugal on weekdays, so she doesn't wear jewelry very much. Except for large-scale events, otherwise, the dress will have nothing to do with it." There is no difference between ordinary young masters. If the princess can give some special jewelry that is suitable for daily life, then the empress will definitely like it very much."

"Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law."

"By the way, Eunuch Li, I have seen these rosters and portraits. There is no problem. Can I trouble Eunuch to bring them into the palace for the emperor to have a look at?"

"Your Highness is polite, but it's just a matter of raising your hands. Besides, if you don't do anything, don't you want to go back to the palace? It's just to bring something for your Highness. Your Highness is too polite."

"These are the hard work for the father-in-law to drink tea. The father-in-law has worked hard inside and outside the palace."

"Your Highness is polite."

"Then I won't send Eunuch off. I will take the princess out to look at the jewelry. Eunuch be careful all the way. After a long time, send Eunuch Li out."

"My lord is very polite, I don't need anyone to see me off, the little ones can go by themselves."

"There are so many things, and you need someone to help you carry them out. Come on, after a long time, don't you hurry up and catch up with your eunuch?"

Thinking of this, Feng Yong sneered in her heart, but that's good too, such a person is much better than those upright people.

Feng Yong smiled and said: "By the way, the emperor chose the mansion for this king. This king wants to say, take all the people who were given by the emperor to serve there. Considering their slave status, can they be transferred to the mansion?"

"It's easy to say, I just need the prince to go to the House of Internal Affairs to handle it. But the prince has already thought about who he wants to take with him? The old mansion also needs people for daily maintenance." Li Sheng said with a smile.

Feng Yong shook her head: "They are all very good people, so there is no one to take or not to take. Besides, there are only two people, the king and the princess, so there is no need for two mansions. When the time comes, how do we deal with it? Routine maintenance If you don’t, you can invite anyone, why let them go?”

"My lord also has some truths. I was very guilty when I said that I wanted to send people back to the palace. I didn't help my lord." Li Sheng smiled embarrassedly.

Feng Yong smiled: "No problem, no problem, but I hope the father-in-law can help to check the background of these people. The father-in-law also knows that there are only the king and the princess in this mansion. The safety of the princess is the most important thing. Knowing the background is also for the king Peace of mind with the princess. This king is not saying that the people in the palace are not good, but that it will be easier to get along with them in the future if they know better. At that time, it will be more convenient for their family members to come and see. It will never happen that both parents die. It’s a misunderstanding that they go home to be filial, don’t you think so?”
