Mr. Luo has made great achievements in investigating the case, and it is certain that the emperor will reward him.
But all the officials who were promoted were jealous.
A few months ago, Mr. Luo was only a fifth-rank official. Because Xie Jingyan needed someone to investigate the case of Liangjiang Salt Seduction, he asked Mr. Tang San to arrange for a capable and trustworthy person to go there. My brother arranged to go, and the position vacated in Liangjiang was the fifth rank. Master Tang San gave the Minister of Civil Affairs a gift and treated him to dinner before taking this position.
At that time, people who were promoted to one rank were sent out of Beijing, but it was normal for officials in Beijing to be promoted to one rank. Who would want to go there if they were not promoted?
He had already been promoted to one level when he was released. Today, the emperor directly promoted Mr. Luo, who was in the fifth rank, to the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the fourth rank.
That is to say, in just three or four months, the official was promoted three levels. Can the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, who had a hard time climbing each level, not be envious and jealous?
In particular, promotion from the fifth rank to the fourth rank is a big hurdle. A fourth rank official in Kyoto has to go to court. Many officials cannot overcome this hurdle in their lifetime. However, some people, such as the fourth master and Mr. Luo, simply go from the fourth rank to the fourth rank. The product has passed.
Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.
The officials had a vague feeling that anyone who had a relationship with Prince Ling would be promoted very quickly.
Shen Wan felt more and more that her previous feeling was correct.
The emperor is paving the way for Xie Jingyan.
The emperor promoted everyone Xie Jingyan recommended and trusted.
The battle to win the heir is who has the greater say in the court. With Xie Jingyan's current power, not only is he not inferior to the eldest prince and Xie Jingyin, he even surpasses them.
Every once in a while, people in the court came together to ask the emperor to establish a heir apparent, but no one asked for Xie Jingyan, and no one even mentioned it. Shen Wan couldn't help but want to know what case Concubine Chen had committed back then.
Shen Wan was drinking tea and was distracted. She didn't know how long she had been in a daze. Chun'er came in from outside and reported, "Princess, the wedding date of Prince Yanping and the eldest daughter of You Xiangfu has been set. They will get married on the 18th this month."
Hearing that the wedding date of Prince Yanping and Cheng Yao had been set, Shen Wan was happy for them, but also a little regretful. She was pregnant, and Xie Jingyan would definitely not let her go to Prince Yanping's mansion to have a wedding banquet.
But she couldn't go to Yanping Prince's Mansion for a wedding banquet, so she could go to Youxiang Mansion to send makeup.
Shen Wan didn't have many good friends among the ladies, but she and Cheng Yao had a very happy conversation. They knew each other late, so she had to send her makeup in person.
Not only did Shen Wan have to deliver it in person, Shen Wan also had to go to the streets to select it in person.
Of course, she could also choose from her own warehouse, but Shen Wan wanted to take the opportunity to go out on the street. She hasn't shown her pregnancy yet, but when her belly grows, it will be difficult to go out.
The next day, while having breakfast, Shen Wancai and Xie Jingyan brought up the matter of going out, "I want to go out to pick out a wedding dress for Miss Cheng."
Xie Jingyan said, "I'll go with you."
Shen Wan said hurriedly, "No, no, no."
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "Don't you want me to accompany you?"
Of course not, Shen Wan said, "How can I have you accompany me every time I go out?"
Xie Jingyan served Shen Wan some food and said, "You are pregnant, so I let you go shopping alone so that no one will suspect that you have fallen out of favor."
Shen Wan, "..."
After all, everyone knows that a certain man dotes on his wife as much as she wants.
It's normal for husbands from other families not to accompany their wives when they go shopping, but it's not normal for them not to accompany them when they come to Prince Ling's place.
Shen Wan had nothing to say in reply, so she had no choice but to let Xie Jingyan accompany her. Fortunately, she didn't go shopping much, otherwise she would be really stressed.
After breakfast, Xie Jingyan accompanied Shen Wan out and took a carriage to Changping Street, the busiest and liveliest street in Kyoto.
After getting off the carriage, Shen Wan went in and out of various major shops, including small stalls on the street. She bought whatever she liked.
Deyue Tower, second floor.
Tangze sat there drinking.
The more you drink, the less interesting it becomes.
After entering the City Patrol Department, I looked forward to taking a break every day, but when I really took a break, it would be worse than when I was patrolling the city.
They made an appointment to have a drink at Deyuelou, but he came alone. Prince Yanping, Lu Cheng and Du Cheng'an all failed to make the appointment.
Prince Yanping made an appointment with the eldest daughter of Youxiang Mansion to enjoy the flowers. Lu Cheng learned that Miss Yun Er was going to Ciyun Nunnery to offer incense, so they met by chance. Du Chengan was brought into the palace by Princess Huyang to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
The four people who had made an appointment to drink, he was the only one left.
It's so boring.
Tang Ze walked to the window with a wine flask and a wine glass, poured the wine and drank it himself.
While drinking, he saw Xie Jingyan. He was about to say hello happily when he saw a certain princess picking out tiger-head shoes.
They were all in pairs, but he was alone.
The wine that seemed bland just now suddenly became sour.
Tang Ze looked at the sky with melancholy.
When Shen Wan passed by Deyue downstairs, she saw him and immediately said to Xie Jingyan, "I'll take the maid around for a walk, and you go have a drink with Master Tang and the others."
Shen Wan didn't know that Tang Ze was the only one. In her impression, Tang Ze and Prince Yanping had always been inseparable.
Shen Wan also planned to go to the rouge shop in front to take a look. There were only female relatives inside, so it would be inconvenient for Xie Jingyan to accompany them.
Xie Jingyan no longer accompanied Shen Wan, "Call me if you need anything."
Shen Wan nodded repeatedly, and Xie Jingyan went to De Yue Tower.
After Xie Jingyan left, Shen Wan went to the rouge shop. The various rouges inside were dazzling to see, and the maids at the rouge shop greeted them enthusiastically.
Although Shen Wan rarely puts on rouge, rouge and gouache are a must-have, but she can't live without them.
Shen Wan had no resistance at all to those beautiful rouges and picked out seven or eight boxes at once.
While looking at Luo Zidai, Yinshuang suddenly shouted "Ah", which startled Shen Yuan. She turned around and saw a little maid in a light green dress apologizing again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on you." Feet..."
It was inconvenient to enter the shop, so Chen Feng, who was guarding the door, heard the noise and came in.
Shen Wan asked, "What's wrong?"
Yin Shuang said, "The maid stepped back and didn't notice that the slave was walking forward sideways and stepped on the slave."
The maid's master was looking at the lipstick. When he heard the commotion, he quickly put the lipstick down and apologized to Shen Yuan for the maid, "I disturbed Princess Ling. I hope Princess Ling will forgive me."
The little maid didn't mean it, she apologized immediately, and Yinshuang wasn't stepped on. Naturally, Shen Wan wouldn't pursue this trivial matter. She smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter."
The girl thanked her. Just as she stood up, Shen Wan caught a glimpse of the jade pendant she wore around her waist and couldn't help but be startled.
This jade pendant——
She had picked it up in her previous life.
The girl stood up straight and saw Shen Wan's eyes falling on the jade pendant she wore around her waist. She suddenly felt strange and called softly, "Princess Ling?"
Shen Wan came to her senses and said with a smile, "This jade pendant is quite unique."
That girl, "...???"
With Princess Ling's status, she has never seen any good things, so how could she think that this very ordinary jade pendant of hers is unique?
The girl was confused, so she heard Shen Wan say, "Can you let me take a look?"
The girl quickly took off the jade pendant and handed it to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan took it and looked at the back.
There are several words engraved on the back of the jade pendant——
July 28
Sure enough, it was the piece she picked up in her previous life.
Shen Wan asked, "What's the date engraved on this jade pendant?"
The girl replied, "It's my birthday."
Shen Wan handed the jade pendant back to her. The girl hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.
If it weren't for the fact that her birth date was engraved on the jade pendant, it was a birthday gift from her father. It was rare for Princess Ling to find it unique, so she gave this jade pendant to her as an apology for disturbing Princess Ling.
The girl took the jade pendant, blessed Shen Wan again, and took the maid away.
Yinshuang said strangely, "The quality of that girl's jade pendant is average, and the carving is average."
Yinshuang was used to seeing good things around Shen Yuan, and that passable jade pendant was only average in her eyes.
indeed.
That jade pendant was not of high quality in terms of texture or carving, but the place where Shen Wan picked it up in her previous life was unusual.
She picked up this jade pendant in the Yun family garden.
She still remembered what she said when she handed it to Mrs. Yunda, "Yesterday, your second cousin lost a jade pendant, just like losing his soul. I don't know if this is the piece he was looking for." "
