Zhen Guo Princess GL

After the family banquet, I kept inquiring closely about Wu Minzhi's movements.I thought that since my mother had made a decree to call him out of the clan, she must be promoted to the official position of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi immediately. Otherwise, my mother's birthday might not be in time to make the court clothes of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi in more than ten days.Unexpectedly, after the family banquet, the mother was not in a hurry. Every day, she would go to the garden with her father to enjoy the spring, or hold large and small palace banquets, and called Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi into the palace to meet several times. Some treasures—these rewards never exceeded fifty ranks, but Wu Chengsi and Wu Chengsi seemed to be greatly favored, and the thank you letter was sent into the palace like flowing water. My mother was impatient and often asked me to read it. Wu Sansi's literary talent is quite impressive, but Wu Chengsi's is far behind. My mother would frown and raise her chin at me when she listened to his words. Use ink to mark this sentence", Fang understood what his mother meant, so he used ink to point out the bad words and sentences, and finally asked the servants to accept them, and sent them back for Wu Chengsi to rewrite.

So three or five times, Wu Chengsi sent up the watch and there were no major omissions, so my mother ordered Wu Chengsi to inherit the title and become the Duke of Zhou, and moved to Shangyi to serve the emperor, and Wu Sansi became the minister to serve the emperor. , it was already February Jihai, and the next day was my mother's birthday.

On the day of passing the decree, I was following my mother. My mother must have seen my surprise. When she was in a good mood, she asked me to accompany her to walk to the small garden near Lichun Terrace to enjoy the spring. She asked while walking: "Sir, I'm wondering why Auntie made the order today?"

I honestly said: "I don't know."

For some reason, my mother recently liked to test me more and more. After hearing this, she asked again: "You think about it before answering."

I thought for a while and said, "For fear that they won't accept discipline?"

The mother smiled slightly, quite proud of herself: "Their fathers and grandparents treated your grandmother disrespectfully in the past, and they were sent to that impoverished place for so many years. Many people have never seen what the Central Plains looked like since they were born, and now they can return to Beijing to enjoy this place." Wealth and wealth all depend on your mother and me, how dare you disobey discipline?"

I was a little ashamed and said: "Sizi is stupid, please enlighten me."

Mother said: "You can guess the front, it's not bad, but you are young and born in wealth, I don't know the people in this world - they are used to being poor in the border areas, and they suddenly return to Beijing to be appointed officials, and they are foreign relatives, I am afraid that it will be a while I got carried away, and lost the face of my grandfather's family, so it took them a while. Since they knew that I wanted to use them, but they didn't see the will, they were anxious and eager, and they must ponder my intentions again and again. Once you get an official position, you will cherish it and dare not be proud of your peers. In addition, if you make an order today, and watch them dress up in court clothes tomorrow, you can also know how they behave in the world."

I said: "Is that what A Niang meant when she was appointed as an official and talented person, not to mention the official position, but let her choose her own clothes?"

My mother glanced at me approvingly, and I said: "If it is the latter point, I have learned a lot from Shangguan Cairen, and I may still be able to think of it, but the former point is something I would never have thought of anyway. , although Sizi is A Niang's biological daughter, she can't even learn one of A Niang's ten thousand things."

My mother smiled after being slapped by my flattery, but she still patted my head and said: "You little bastard is as smart as a ghost when you plot against your parents, but you are very lazy in these matters. If He Lanminzhi hadn't offended you Are you afraid that you don't even want to look at these cousins ​​more?"

When I was about to argue, my mother squinted at me first: "How are those people in your palace handled?"

I said with some guilty conscience: "The crime has been issued to the court, and we will discuss it after the court order is issued." My mother gave me Qiu Shenji's letter and asked me to restrain my palace servants. It probably meant that I had full power to deal with it, so he wrote a letter in a pretentious manner to accuse Qiu Shenji of transferring all the people to Yeting. He usually even violated Li Sheng's order, but obeyed my order and sent everyone to Yeting. In my heart, I still wanted to turn the matter into a big one, so I pretended to ask Ye Ting to discuss the crime again, planning to delay it for a few months, and if my mother forgot about it, I would release them from the palace. When asked, she had to be perfunctory first, but her mother suddenly changed her face and said: "Qiu Shenji has already been convicted of all the crimes, and the confession has been sent over, why do you want to get the court to discuss the crime again?"

I was taken aback, and stammered: "Every crime that Qiu Shenji handed over is enough to throw them out of the market, mere theft, isn't that the case?"

My mother glared at me: "I see that although you are a bit soft and benevolent in the past, you are generally sensible. Why do you become confused again when it comes to these things? Ayang is your wet nurse, and you are almost half the master. Don't think about it." Sincerely repaying the Lord, but colluding with the gangsters to steal, today is silk, tomorrow is a seal or imperial decree, and the day after tomorrow may be bribed by someone to bring things that are disgusting to your palace! You still want to keep the person who is hiding it?"

Seeing my mother getting angry, I was about to kneel down, but when my mother stared at me, I stopped again, took her arm and said, "Don't be angry, my mother. What my mother said is true, but the laws of the country always follow her actions." , but it’s not their heart, now they are just stealing, so they should be regarded as the crime of stealing, whether they are sticks, gangsters, or exiles, just follow the law, why bother to get involved? The eunuchs who cleaned the dead leaves were all arrested, and my servants in the Daming Palace almost took [-]%, I think... it was too cruel."

The mother sneered and said: "Last year you just reprimanded Ah Yang, and she used her temper to sue for illness. You went to Yeting in person, but she treated you disrespectfully. She would not go back until I gave orders from my relatives. This alone is enough for her." It's too late! Qiu Shenji only sentenced her to be beheaded, which is really an advantage to her, but you still have to cover up and plead for her. I gave you the file because I wanted to see how you deal with it, but I didn't expect you to All I can think about is how to deceive me."

I didn't kneel or stand for a while, so I just bowed and cupped my hands and said: "Aniang, they are also people around me. I'm afraid it would be indecent to execute them publicly. I beg Aniang to forgive me and give me... a whole corpse." When I said this, my heart trembled slightly, both guilty and sad, and even my voice trembled unconsciously. My mother glanced at me and said, "Are you guilty because you favored Wei Huan that day?"

I trembled all over, and suddenly looked up at my mother.The flowers in the palace bloomed very early, and now they are colorful and colorful. We are close to the flower garden, and my mother is stretching out her hand to pinch a branch, pull it close, and sniff it with her nose. Feeling a little happy, I sniffed it, broke off the delicate flower branch with two fingers, looked behind me, Tuan'er immediately came up with a mirror, and my mother put the flower hairpin on her head, then turned to ask me: "Does it look good?"

I didn't come back to my senses for a while, and said slowly: "It's beautiful." I wanted to flatter my mother so that she would forget about Wei Huan, and then said with a smile: "There are peonies in this season, it must be because of the holy virtue of Auntie. They're all open early."

Mother asked back, "What do you think?"

The people behind her joked together: "What the princess said is very true, the lady's virtue moves the heavens."

The mother suddenly tore off the flower again, threw it on the ground, and said: "But I don't think so."

Everyone was stunned, Tuan'er laughed and said: "My lady has the body of a phoenix and a phoenix. Although this flower is good, it seems that it is not as good as a heavenly family."

My mother smiled slightly, and took me a few steps forward. I saw a big tree in front of me, only half of the buds had sprouted, and the body was yellow and green, which was quite ugly.Seeing his mother staring at the tree, the servant in charge of the garden explained sweatingly, "The little man will be replaced."

My mother laughed and said, "These trees are either all green or all yellow. It's interesting to see a half-green and half-yellow tree by chance."

The servant smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, the villain also felt the same, so he changed it before he dared. Since His Majesty loves this tree, the villain has the courage to tell His Majesty, do you want to move this tree to the Hall of Zhenguan?"

The mother smiled, and said noncommittally: "You have worked hard, and you will be rewarded with fifty bolts of silk. You don't have to stay here, just do your duty."

The servant thanked me again and again, and bowed to leave. My mother led me forward slowly, and said as she walked: "You must think in your heart that these people are all villains, don't you?"

I said: "They are A Niang's servants, as they should be." Even I flattered my mother for Wei Huan, so what else can I say?However, the ability of these people to open their eyes and tell lies is really admirable to me. I think I will definitely not be able to do this.

The mother smiled softly and said: "You are wrong. Although they are my close servants, there are only a few of them. They can regard the king's heart as their own heart and the king's words as their own words from the very beginning. They To be able to do this, I taught them step by step." Her smile gradually faded, and when she looked at me, the smile disappeared completely: "For example, Wan'er, her grandparents and father's family were all destroyed by me. Do you think she is really willing to serve me, and be humble to me?"

But after hearing a thud, Wan'er, who was closest to her, knelt on the ground, trembling all over, her face pale.

The mother smiled, and when she raised her eyes, everyone disappeared. Under the flower tree, only my mother, Wan'er and me remained.
