Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 359

"Look at what Fang Shanggong said, this Shangyi Bureau's craftsmanship is not good, who else has good craftsmanship? If you say that the clothes of Shangyi Bureau are not satisfactory, I'm afraid it's not that the craftsmanship is not good, but that it doesn't meet your requirements. , but this is not right, the adults in Shangyi Bureau are all understanding, how could this happen? Impossible, this king is wrong." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that we are considerate, it's that the masters are generous and don't want to argue with us, everyone is doing things for the masters, even if the masters are dissatisfied, it is our responsibility, yes We didn't understand what the master meant, did we?"

"If everyone has the idea of ​​Fang Shanggong, I'm afraid there will never be any rumors of discord between master and servant." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai looked at Bai Lan and said with a smile: "The princess seems to be a good master who shows tolerance, why should I have such a sigh? I heard that the princess dresses very simply in the mansion. This is right and should be a model. , It is rare to be able to change the country's difficulties on oneself, and a woman like the princess also has this kind of thinking, it is really a woman who does not give up to a man."

"Fang Shanggong is absurd. I just don't like too much extravagance. How can I say that. I am already very happy if I didn't cause trouble to the Shangyi Bureau. The rewards are all sent there directly Yes. Otherwise, I don't want to cause trouble for the Shangyi Bureau, I keep it by myself, and I can't wear so much at ordinary times." Bai Lan said with a embarrassed smile.

Fang Qingdai shook her head: "No, no, the princess' clothes should have been made by the Shangyi Bureau, so why bother the princess? Besides, it's not our business whether the princess wears it or not. We must do it well to prepare for it. It’s necessary. No matter how many things you have to do in the Clothing Bureau, it’s impossible to take a vacation, so you can only do your own thing well, and being able to help the princess make clothes is the blessing of the Clothing Bureau.”

"Where, the adults of the Shangyi Bureau are exquisite in craftsmanship, and the clothes are made very well. It is a face to be able to wear the clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau. Look at the wives at the banquet, which one is not rewarded with clothing? What about clothes?" Bai Lan said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai nodded: "These clothes are rewards, it is a great honor, everyone is naturally proud of it, but it is not because the clothes are made by the Shang Yi Bureau, but because the clothes are rewarded by the nobles, princess Do you think it makes sense?"

"Lord Fang Shanggong is a little bit conceited. In fact, the Shangyi Bureau represents the aesthetics and trends of the palace, and the fabrics are only part of it. Of course, those fabrics are appreciated by the nobles, which is a good thing, but the aesthetic trends of the palace are not just random. It can be spied on casually, so part of the credit is still due to the Shangyi Bureau. For example, Jifu, how to make Jifu that satisfies everyone's aesthetics while complying with etiquette is inherently difficult. Jifu It requires so much." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai smiled: "Princess Kua, the officials don't know what to say. Although the auspicious clothes need to conform to the etiquette, there are still many things that can be used. Unless those unlucky things are not available, most of them are still okay. , There is still a lot of space. Besides, everyone hopes that they can go smoothly and have some good omens, and they will not make things difficult for themselves and use some unlucky things on their auspicious clothes, right? "

"Fang Shanggong is right, but ordinary things are more common, and things that are too common are easy to repeat." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai shook her head: "That's not right. For example, although most of Qu Si's clothes are decorated with lotus patterns, they are all very different. During the period, there is room for use in matching, embroidery, and decoration. Qu There are several pieces of auspicious costumes, from ordinary female officials to department decorations, and none of them are repeated, let alone those masters who are not very picky, there are more to choose from."

"The lotus is a good thing. The literati said that it comes out of the mud but is not stained, and it is clean and not demonic. It is also said that it is in the mud and the mud is not stained. No one knows that the white stems are buried in the ground. The vitality is red, green and clear, and it does not wait for the wind. The pond is full of fragrance. It can be seen that the lotus is a holy and noble flower, and such a flower is naturally good. Moreover, the lotus is also called the water lotus, and I think it also means glory." Bai Lan said with a smile.

When Qu Lian heard this, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect the princess to be knowledgeable and talented. I like lotus flowers because of their appearance. However, I haven't read any books, so I can't say these poems about the princess."

"Qu Si Decoration doesn't have to be so self-deprecating, Qu Si Decoration is as good as Qu Si Decoration, if you give those things to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell them apart." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Qin Geng smiled: "Why do you both praise each other, making it seem too unfamiliar. In fact, since everyone sits together, it is fate, and it is not very comfortable to come and go in an official way."

"Qin Siyi is right. What's the point of flattering each other like this? It sounds good. The king and the princess are masters. It's not good to say that everyone is a slave. Everyone is working for the emperor. Isn't it right? You're welcome, besides, it's good for everyone to sit together and have a good chat, but it's really unfamiliar to talk about those flattering things." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai smiled: "My lord is being polite. You are also our master. You treat us as your own family, but we can't go too far. If we go too far, then we are overstepping. In terms of official positions, the lord and princess are better than us. High, high and low, we still understand."

"Fang Shanggong is too worried. You look at the civil and military affairs of the court. Who really treats this king as a prince? This king has long since ignored it. Besides, the things that this king is responsible for are not like other princes. Everyone looks down on him." It's normal. A man's family is actually busy in the palace, how can everyone look down on him?" Feng Yong smiled wryly.

Fang Qingdai shook her head: "My lord's words are wrong. In fact, the emperor let him take charge of these things because he trusts him. This is something other adults can't envy. You see, everyone who enters and exits the inner palace, the emperor is Don't worry, only the prince, isn't this a sign of the emperor's trust?"

"What Fang Shanggong said is not unreasonable, but everyone is a courtier. If other adults are asked to do this, I am afraid that other adults can also do it. After all, this king is still an idler, and only idlers can do it." Will be sent to take care of these trivial matters, don't you think? Like marching and fighting, disaster relief, no matter what, I will never find this king." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai smiled: "There are military generals in the march and war, and for disaster relief, the big ones usually send relatives of the emperor, and the small ones usually send local civil servants, so why bother the prince? Compared with the prince's status, those are trivial matters. Besides, the emperor took a fancy to the prince, and he was not willing to put him in danger, so he kept him by his side. But the prince thought so, and he really failed the emperor's good intentions. You see, the emperor went to the palace in person not long after he took the throne Bringing the prince back, doesn't that mean that the emperor likes the prince?"

"The emperor is naturally very kind to this king. Otherwise, he would not have married his beloved sister to this king. It's just that this king hopes to do more things for the country. Look at so many things now, but this king is not happy. I'm just not reconciled to being busy with these small things here." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai shook her head: "What the lord said is that the Qi family governs the country and the world, and what the lord does is to help the emperor to regulate the family. The emperor's harem is stable, and he has no worries. Only then can he have the energy to govern the country and become a generation of Mingjun. Besides, The post-draft and other matters are important national affairs. The emperor's heir is the foundation of the country, and the prince is responsible for such an important matter, so why not be reconciled? It seems that the word shoulder to shoulder with the king is to serve the country. Is Xia Ge always in the capital? Teaching and educating people to cultivate virtuousness for the court is not serving the country? Everyone just has different ways. The prince comes from a loyal family, so he naturally has the pride to serve the country. However, compared with marching and fighting outside, the current emperor needs to be like the prince. In this way, he can help him manage the virtuous courtiers in the rear."

"Unexpectedly, the Shangyi Bureau is full of insightful people, everyone is knowledgeable and talented, no wonder, the emperor always says that the Shangyi Bureau is the most special existence in the palace." Feng Yong praised.

Fang Qingdai smiled sheepishly: "I don't know how to express what the prince said. The emperor said that the Shangyi Bureau is the most special, probably because only our dynasty has the existence of female officials. In other places, in the palace There are dedicated tailors responsible for these matters, and we are the only ones who still use female officials."

"Fang Shanggong doesn't know that this kind of position is the easiest to mislead. You think, you can't ask all tailors to become father-in-law? You can't ask tailors to stay in the palace every day. It is always bad to be easily taken advantage of by people with a heart. Besides, women are not necessarily inexperienced in the affairs of female celebrities. The existence of female officials shows that I am aiming for equality between men and women. Everyone has a way to be an official and serve the country. Isn't it a good thing?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai nodded: "What the prince said is true. If there are no female officials, women will stay at home to support their husbands and raise children. It is virtue to flatter a woman who has no talent. In fact, it is wrong. Just like a princess, isn't she full of knowledge? Reading thousands of books , there is nothing wrong with traveling thousands of miles. If a woman just cooks at home and takes care of the children, wouldn’t it be like marrying a servant instead of marrying a wife? Like the princess and the prince, the husband and wife are deeply in love and share the same love. They are a model of husband and wife. If the prince marries one who only knows how to wash and cook, wouldn't that mean he married himself a housekeeper?"

"It's also a good thing to be able to manage the house well. I have a headache how to manage the few people in the mansion, let alone a large number of people." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Fang Qingdai smiled: "Isn't it easy? If the princess finds someone who knows everything and trusts him to manage the mansion for the princess, wouldn't it be fine?"

"Fang Shanggong's idea is naturally good, but such people are hard to find. If I can find talents like the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau, I will really feel relieved." Bai Lan said with a smile.

After Fang Qingdai listened, she smiled and said: "Isn't it easy? The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a list of female officials. When the time comes, the princess and prince will also come and see. If she is satisfied with what she sees, then let her serve in the mansion directly." That's right. There are few affairs in the prince's mansion, so there will definitely be female officials who are willing."

"Then why are you so embarrassed? Those are the female officers given to the Shangyi Bureau by the emperor. How can I be embarrassed to leave? If the Shangyi Bureau is too busy by then, it will be my fault." Bai Lan said embarrassedly.

Fang Qingdai smiled: "It's easy, the lady officer is only lent to the princess, if the time comes, the clothing bureau will call back. Wait until the princess gets involved, and then return the person, and it won't delay the lady officer Isn't it a good thing to be promoted and let the princess have a helper?"

"Then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. I would like to thank Mr. Fang Shanggong first." Bai Lan said with a smile.

After the two finished talking, Feng Yong asked Bai Lan in a low voice, "What do you want the female officer to do?"

"I'm just saying in advance that if Miss Lu Ying is in any danger at that time, I will use this reason to bring her here. It will be much more convenient. The palace is no better than outside. If something happens, it is not very convenient, so , It's better to keep it. I'm afraid that because of the relationship between Miss Lu Ying and the young prince, she might do something that can't be stopped, and it will be troublesome." Bai Lan said in a low voice.

Feng Yong smiled and said: "It's better for you to be more thoughtful, I still worry about how to get her out when the time comes."

"Miss Lu Ying's background, the Shangyi Bureau will not do anything to her, but if something happens and the emperor wants to take action, the Shangyi Bureau will have nothing to do. But I still hope that there will be no such day, or it will be really easy to cause accidents Anyone can figure out the marriage contract between Miss Lu Ying and the young prince. What Miss Lu Ying did must have something to do with her side by side with the palace. At that time, she will definitely be implicated. There is nothing wrong with us simply rescuing Miss Lu Ying. Meaningful. So, we can only act as a backup player, and the right way is to let Miss Lu Ying not to do things indiscriminately." Bai Lan was still a little embarrassed.

Feng Yong smiled wryly and said: "There is no way around this, she can't let go, and we can't persuade her, do we want to tell her to forget? I think many people have said these words, but the result? So, or Miss Lu Ying has to figure it out for herself. She didn't have to enter the palace at all. She bribed the Ministry of Internal Affairs and added herself to the draft list. I worked hard to get it out and become a female official. All these years of forbearance are in vain. Miss Lu Ying is still innocent, and there are some things that she still hasn't figured out."

"That can't be helped. At that time, they will get married soon. How can you let Miss Lu Ying accept this matter? No one can accept it." Bai Lan said lightly.
