The princess' little concubine wants to reconcile [Rebirth]
Chapter 70 [Chapter 61]
In the middle of the night, the carriages and horses slowly stopped in front of the son-in-law's mansion, Liu Meier got off the carriage and saw Chang Shi and others.
"Mei'er, step over the brazier," Chang urged, leaning on a cane.
"Okay." Liu Meier looked at the brazier in a daze, raised her hand and picked up a corner of her robe and stepped over the brazier.
Before taking Liu Meier to greet Chang, water was sprinkled on her face, and she asked in confusion, "What is Aunt Chang doing?"
Aunt Chang dipped some water on the willow branch in her hand and sprinkled it over, saying: "The old lady said that this is also used for exorcising evil spirits, young master."
Hey?
After finally entering the corridor, Liu Mei'er respectfully saluted and said, "Mother is worried."
Chang carefully looked at her child's face and muttered, "It's good that it's fine."
Several people entered the house together, since it was late at night, Chang's old age didn't talk much, Liu Meier watched Chang's leave the hospital, and just went back to the house.
Sister Dai was sitting in the room looking through the paperwork. Liu Meier guessed that maybe it was to pick her up, so she delayed Sister Dai from handling government affairs.
"What is Meier standing there in a daze?" Jiang Changdai turned her head to look at the person who stood stiffly not far away, "It's late at night, you should go take a bath."
"En." Liu Meier finally realized that she was staying in the dark prison cell, and her clothes still smelled musty.
Because Sister Dai had already prepared the medicinal bath for dispelling the cold, Liu Meier took off her robe and soaked herself in the medicinal bath, feeling comfortable and sleepy immediately.
Jiang Changdai, who was reading documents outside, hadn't seen anyone come out for a long time, so she got up and entered the room worriedly.
I saw the person in the hot fog lingering in the bathtub tilting his head as if he had fallen asleep.
Jiang Changdai stepped closer to the bathtub, only to find that she used to have a baby-fat face, but now she is slim and beautiful.
The wet hair sticking to her white and tender face made her look even more seductive, because Mei'er always tied her hair and wore a crown on weekdays, so she could barely conceal her softness.
But when the long hair was scattered, the appearance of her daughter's family was fully revealed.
"Meier, wake up." Jiang Changdai reached out to hold her face up, worrying that she would sink into the water.
"Hmm..." Liu Meier opened her eyes wearily, and looked blankly at Sister Dai in front of her, only to realize that she had just fallen asleep.
Jiang Changdai saw her eyes staring at her blankly, those eyes like clear springs filled her face with trust, she couldn't help feeling guilty and said: "Meier, I made you suffer."
Liu Meier saw that Sister Dai's back was facing the light, her expression was a little gloomy, and she quickly responded: "How can you blame Sister Dai?"
"Actually, it's not that bad in prison. In addition to sleeping and eating every day, I can't be more idle."
"You..." Seeing that she was still comforting herself like this, Jiang Changdai's heart felt even more sour.
In fact, Jiang Changdai was afraid that the tragedy of her previous life would be repeated again, so she was worried that Liu Meier would fall into a royal battle because of herself this time.
"Really, I'm full from what I eat every day." Although the daily food in the prison is not oily, the steamed buns are definitely enough.
"The water is getting cold, you should get out of the bath first." Jiang Changdai couldn't bear to show her emotions, so she had to change the subject.
Liu Meier nodded in response: "En."
When she came out from the inner room and was about to get close, Liu Meier was lying on the side of the bed, still a little uncomfortable with such a soft bed.
A dim light was left in the room, and Jiang Changdai reached out and hugged the obedient person lying beside her, and lightly placed her thin lips on her forehead, muttering: "In the past few months, Meier will take time off from going to the Ministry of Industry on the grounds that she is unwell. .”
"Why?" Liu Meier could clearly feel that sister Dai's mood was so low that it was unusual.
Jiang Changdai lightly moved her lips to the corners of her eyebrows and eyes one by one. When her eyes met, she hesitated and said, "I'm afraid someone is setting up a series of schemes to harm you."
In the last life, Jiang Changdai originally wanted her to leave the capital safely, but who would have thought that she would still be hurt.
In this life, Jiang Changdai was really scared.
Liu Meier felt the fear that flashed in Sister Dai's eyes, hesitated and boldly kissed Sister Dai's thin lips and asked: "Is Sister Dai also in danger?"
"I'm a royal girl, and they don't dare to touch me." Jiang Changdai pursed her thin lips, wrapping her arms around her soft figure, "But you're just from an ordinary place, I'm afraid they will use you for surgery. "
Although the Crown Prince Jiang Hui is quite sensible now, there is no guarantee that he will not be provoked by treacherous ministers in the future.
As the saying goes, one emperor has one courtier, Jiang Changdai has arranged and appointed many ministers and soldiers in the court over the years.
Naturally, there will be grievances in people's hearts, especially the Confucian students next to Prince Jiang Hui, all of them are eager to have a place in the court.
And if the prince Jiang Hui wants to take power in time, he will inevitably support them as his own power.
Now that Jiang Changdai has made a gesture of giving up power, naturally she always has to think about how to find a way out for herself and Meier.
Liu Meier listened attentively to sister Dai's unexpectedly noisy heartbeat.
She had never seen Sister Dai who looked like this before, and Liu Meier was a little at a loss for a moment and asked, "Is Sister Dai being restrained because of me?"
"How can Meier say that?" Jiang Changdai didn't want to see Meier blame herself, she held her face in her palm and said seriously, "You and I are one, so naturally they are targeting not only you, but also me."
Song Yuanshan's mind is vicious, Jiang Changdai has seen how he used it on Yuan family and noble officials earlier, the most important thing now is to stabilize Prince Jiang Hui's mind.
As long as the crown prince Jiang Hui is kept safe from being provoked and bewitched by Song Yuanshan, then there is room for everything.
"But Song Yuanshan shouldn't target Sister Dai?" Liu Meier remembered Song Yuanshan always being humble and polite to Sister Dai.
Jiang Changdai saw that she spoke so confidently, she was still a little confused and asked: "How do you know that Song Yuanshan is involved in framing you this time?"
Liu Meier looked at Sister Dai hesitantly, not knowing what to say about the danger in her previous life, after all, Sister Dai didn't really believe in ghosts and gods.
"When I was in prison in Dali Temple, Song Yuanshan came to visit me with a glass of wine. His reaction at that time was very strange."
"Then you have to pay attention to him." Jiang Changdai was not suspicious, but frowned involuntarily, "This person has a bad mind, and he likes to provoke the two parties to fight and profit from it."
"But why did Song Yuanshan target Sister Dai?" Liu Meier still didn't understand, could it be that Song Yuanshan's admiration for Sister Dai was also faked?
"Now that the new crown prince is on the throne, and the power of the Wu family brothers has been wiped out, there will always be some officials in the court who have other thoughts. If there is a gap between me and the crown prince, Song Yuanshan and others will be able to monopolize the power." Jiang Changdai never considered that someone like Song Yuanshan would have What is true feelings, so when thinking about things, only interests come first.
Liu Meier saw that Sister Dai was so serious, so she also believed that Song Yuanshan was fighting for power and profit, so she took the knife.
"Sister Dai should also be careful about him. This person is the best at flattering people." It's not like Liu Meier has never seen Song Yuanshan's ability to talk nonsense when he sees people.
Anyway, whether it was the original Yuan family or the current martial arts family, Song Yuanshan didn't care about right or wrong, he just catered to everything.
What a sanctimonious hypocrite.
Jiang Changdai looked at the serious person in her arms, her eyes couldn't help being tinged with a smile, she tapped her nose with her fingertips and muttered: "Do you hate him so much?"
From the first time Liu Meier mentioned Song Yuanshan, Jiang Changdai felt her sensitivity to him.
It seems that Liu Meier was like this in her previous life, but her temper was even more dull than now, no matter how much she asked, there was no result.
Liu Mei'er hesitated and dodged her eyes and responded: "The ministers in the court said that he admired Sister Dai, but I didn't expect him to have such bad intentions for Sister Dai. Of course I hate him."
Fortunately, Sister Dai didn't like Song Yuanshan, otherwise she would definitely be deceived by his hypocritical face and feel sad.
"I thought Mei'er was because she liked Song Yuanshan." Liu Meier in her previous life would sometimes sneak a peek at Song Yuanshan's banquet every time. Jiang Changdai remembered that she caught her peeping head several times.
"How could it be?" Liu Meier was a little surprised.
Jiang Changdai met Liu Meier's bright eyes with a slight smile, and responded solemnly: "Maybe it's because Meier reacted too strongly to him, I'm a little bit apprehensive."
Liu Mei'er's cheeks were very red, her eyes flickered as she looked at Sister Dai's serious face, wondering if she had heard wrong just now?
How could Sister Dai be so fond of herself?
But just now she heard it very carefully, Liu Meier turned her head and buried her head in sister Dai's neck, shyly showing her earlobes hidden in her hair, and replied softly: "I thought sister Dai liked Song Yuanshan more."
After all, on the surface, Song Yuanshan is really a talented and gentle gentleman, and it's not that there are no noble girls in the capital city who have admired his talent and knowledge first.
"Could it be that Meier has a taste too?" Jiang Changdai seldom heard Liu Meier's straightforward words, and she was extremely happy. She deliberately poked her earlobe with her fingertips and blew on purpose, "So this is what you said to Song Yuanshan. The reason for being so sensitive."
Jiang Changdai has always thought that Liu Meier is actually passively accepting her preferences, whether it is marriage or intimacy between the two.
Most of the time, Liu Meier just bears obediently but doesn't ask for it from herself, so that Jiang Changdai thinks that her feelings for her are far less deep than her feelings for her.
Maybe she just treats herself like a big sister, but she has changed her mind.
Unexpectedly, she is not completely careless towards herself, but because of her always introverted temperament, she is not good at showing it most of the time.
Liu Meier lifted her head timidly, but her body was still being held, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Sister Dai and replied, "I'm sleepy."
"Then let's sleep like this." Jiang Changdai's mood suddenly brightened a lot, and her thin lips pecked her flushed face lightly, feeling a little moved in her heart.
However, she had just been released from prison, and she was very sleepy even thinking about it, so naturally Jiang Changdai couldn't bear to tire her.
That night Liu Meier slept so soundly that she didn't even notice the thunderstorm in the second half of the night.
In the warm spring of March, the sun was shining brightly, and it was the time when a hundred flowers were in full bloom. With the release of the imperial examination results, many candidates entered the imperial court to serve.
Prince Jiang Hui personally promoted some people to the Imperial Academy and the other six ministries.
For these lists of candidates, Prince Jiang Hui specially handed them over to the Eldest Princess to watch and show respect.
A few rays of strong light fell into the hall in the afternoon, Jiang Changdai looked at the roster of candidates, but did not say anything, but told the employer not to be suspicious.
And as the cases of Wu family's party members were successively tried and rebelled, the two brothers Liu Ming and Liu Yang were also exiled for three thousand miles.
In the middle of March, when Liu An was released from prison to send off his two characters, his wife Zhou cried out in tears: "The eldest princess is so cruel, why did she only save my brother-in-law and not our son?"
Liu An frowned and scolded: "Your good son, I don't know what's wrong. Thousands of people have been beheaded for this kind of crime. It's a gift for them to get out of the capital alive. If you say more , be careful that their heads will be lost!"
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was so frightened that she didn't make a sound, so she hurriedly added some money to the officers and soldiers to take care of her along the way.
With the successive edicts of court orders issued in spring, a new round of taxation systems in various places has also been restructured.
Because of the policy of light corvee and low tax for the people in the farmland, the livelihood of Jiang people has been restored to vitality.
One morning, the court once again discussed the war between the Mo country and the Feng country, and the prince Jiang Hui discussed the matter with the eldest princess.
"Auntie, do you think it's time to send troops to help the Mo country?" Prince Jiang Hui asked with a document in hand.
Jiang Changdai did not expect that the Mo State was so anxious to urge the Jiang State to send troops. She guessed that it might be because the Mo State could not attack the Feng State for a long time, or it might be related to the civil strife among the thirteen tribes in the Mo State.
"The crown prince thinks that sending troops to help Mo country attack Feng country will be beneficial to Jiang country?"
"Mo country is a powerful country, if it really captures Feng country, it will be harmful to Jiang country." Prince Jiang Hui hesitated and said, "But this time the Mo country envoy threatened, if we don't send troops, it may hinder the peaceful exchanges between the two countries. .”
"Since this is the case, the prince might as well find a reason to shirk the war."
After thinking about it, the prince Jiang Hui replied: "There is no turmoil around the Jiang country at present, and the reason for this is not easy to find."
Jiang Changdai looked at the two small countries in the south of the territory map of Jiang State and said, "I heard that the Fu State and the Si State are not peaceful in recent months, did the prince know?"
To rule the world, the monarchs of the five countries have the same mind, so naturally they also want to cultivate the ambition of the prince Jiang Hui.
"A few days ago, the frontier reported that these two countries have been fighting for a long time because of a mountain." Prince Jiang Hui was very intelligent since he was a child, and he was persecuted by the brothers of the Wu family in recent years. .
Naturally, she has always been very cautious about this aunt who holds Jiang Guo's military and political power.
"These two countries also invaded several cities in Jiang State and have not returned them." Jiang Changdai said lightly.
Prince Jiang Hui immediately understood the meaning of the words, but because he was not really in power now, he naturally did not dare to speak out easily.
"Auntie, what do you mean by using disputes with the two countries to evade the Mo country's request to send troops?"
"It's not just because we want to avoid the country of Mo, but more importantly, to recover the lost land." Jiang Changdai was originally worried about the sneak attack from the country of Mo, but now is the perfect time, "If you want to restore the country of Jiang and rule the world, the prince must first Use these two countries to demonstrate to the world."
Mo country was bitten by Feng country, and it happened that the thirteen tribes in it were fighting endlessly, so they had no time to take care of Jiang country.
The prince Jiang Hui looked at his aunt in a daze, even if it was just a light sentence, it shocked people greatly.
This kind of majestic momentum is probably something that even the royal father has never had before.
"Auntie said so."
At the beginning of April, two armies gathered on the border of Jiang State. Yue Wu led the troops to attack Fu State, and Rong Yue led the black armor army to attack Si State.
The two countries were caught off guard by this silent war, and they invaded the capitals of the two countries with such force that the news reached the desert country in June.
The emperor of Mo Kingdom was greatly shocked. Jiang Kingdom was becoming more and more powerful, which was very alarming. Now that the two countries will be destroyed, Jiang Kingdom will expand its territory again.
However, the emperor of the Mo Kingdom was old, and the princes under his knees could not fight, and the army of the Mo Kingdom was still entangled with the Feng Kingdom, and they had long been unable to spare their hands to deal with the Jiang Kingdom.
In August, Jiang's army returned to the court after a great victory. Yue Yue captured the monarch of Fu State alive and was promoted to the Southwest General, while the monarch of Si State led some royal family members to flee overseas.
Prince Jiang Hui was highly respected by Jiang's subjects for regaining the lost land. On the day of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Sunrise Palace, the people of the capital lined up to welcome him.
Jiang Changdai strictly prohibited the indiscriminate killing of the people of the two countries, and then greatly rewarded the three armies, and allowed officers and soldiers to return to their hometowns to visit relatives one by one at the end of the year.
In the crisp autumn season, Jiang Guochaotang has taken on a new look, and even the people in the capital are greatly encouraged.
But at this time Liu Meier was very idle, because she asked for leave to rest in the mansion, and her official position as the minister of the Ministry of Industry also ceased.
During the whole day, he either accompanied Mrs. Chang to go to the temple to pray to the Buddha or to play horseshoes.
But Sister Dai is still very busy every day, Liu Meier often doesn't see anyone for most of the day.
When Liu Meier went out to buy paper and pens in the afternoon, she happened to meet Xie Xi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
She is still serving as a female official in the Hanlin Academy, but she heard that the prince only appointed Confucian scholars who taught since childhood as officials, and did not promote other officials without authorization.
Most of the female officials are in idle positions, and Xie Xi is indignant that her talents are ignored, so she often hangs around in restaurants.
But the Xie family has long since declined, the drinks in restaurants in the capital are not cheap, and the salaries of mere officials are not enough.
This time it was entrusted by the shopkeeper of the study, Xie Xi came to sell favors.
She didn't expect to meet Liu Concubine who had already asked for leave in the mansion.
When Liu Meier saw Xie Xi, she immediately wanted to avoid it, after all, she didn't forget the loss she suffered last time.
"Where is Lord Liu going?" Xie Xi knew that the current court was that the eldest princess was the head and the prince was the assistant.
If these two can be promoted, Xie Xi thinks that there may be hope for promotion.
It's just that those in the prince's party are pedantic Confucian scholars, and they despise female officials.
Helplessly, Xie Xi could only think of the eldest princess, but the quarrel with the eldest princess was too tense before, Xie Xi could only think of borrowing Master Liu to ease the relationship.
After all, Mr. Liu is not a shrewd person at first glance, so he is better to hook up than the eldest princess.
"Thank you, sir, what's the matter?" Liu Meier kept a serious distance.
Xie Xi smiled lightly and said, "I just heard that the eldest princess has been getting close to Song Taifu recently, so I want to kindly inform Mrs. Liu."
Liu Meier didn't believe Xie Xi's words, because since she told sister Dai that night, she had no grudges in her heart.
Now Liu Meier only knows that Xie Xi is probably here to do bad things again.
"This kind of kindness, I don't bother to thank you sir."
After finishing speaking, Liu Meier turned and left the study.
Xie Xi couldn't hold back the smile, gritted his teeth and snorted softly: "What are you, if you were not lucky enough to climb the big tree like the eldest princess, you might not even know how you died."
As for Prince Consort Liu, Xie Xi knew that it was impossible in all likelihood.
But when it comes to being related to the eldest princess, that Song Taifu is a good idea.
After all, everyone in the capital knew that Song Yuanshan had admired the eldest princess for a long time, but besides the eldest princess, besides Liu Concubine, who had stayed by her side for many years, the playboys beside her were like a fleeting moment.
At night, there was non-stop singing and music in various restaurants. Xie Xi saw Song Taifu who was drinking with the officials, and walked up to chat.
"Song Taifu, it seems that you are in a good mood."
Song Yuanshan deliberately got closer to the Confucian scholars next to the prince, so as to provoke the relationship between the Confucian scholars next to the prince and the eldest princess.
As long as there are disputes in the court, the eldest princess will always need herself.
"Master Xie, what's the matter?" Song Yuanshan had heard about the prodigal reputation of the talented woman from the Xie family a long time ago, and the first time he saw Xie Xi, he could see that she was ambitious.
Xie Xi curled up his mouth and sat beside Song Yuanshan and said, "Now the eldest princess and Concubine Liu are still singing in harmony. I think Taifu Song is also very distressed."
Song Yuanshan frowned when he was poked in the center. For so many years, Song Yuanshan had been acting like a modest gentleman in front of the eldest princess, but she never took a look at herself.
How could this not make Song Yuanshan angry?
"But I think there may be a way to help Song Taifu." Xie Xi said vaguely while drinking the wine in his glass, "After all, women understand women's hearts better, don't they?"
"I would like to hear the details." Song Yuanshan turned to look at Xie Xi.
Xie Xi felt confident, raised her hand and poured her drink in response: "What an arrogant and proud daughter of the eldest princess, Song Taifu is too gentlemanly, I am afraid it will be difficult to get into the eyes of such a person."
The reason why Xie Xi said that Song Yuanshan was carrying it was mainly because he knew that this person was a villain who must take revenge in his bones, and that a gentleman was just a skin for him to pretend.
"Then according to Sir Xie, what should we do?"
"Women, sometimes Song Taifu still has to take the initiative to attack, otherwise the princess's cold temper may not have time to pay attention to her children's personal affairs." Xie Xi wrote on the table with some wine on her fingertips, "Although this method is not popular, But it works."
Song Yuanshan looked at the words written in the drink on the table in a daze, and didn't say another word.
Xie Xi triumphantly propped up her body and smiled enchantingly: "A woman of this age, I think she can't help flirting."
As for the man, no matter how noble his words are, as long as he mentions sex, he is not very obscene.
When all the houses in the capital were brightly lit, Liu Meier bathed early in the bedroom of the Princess Mansion and accompanied Sister Dai to handle government affairs.
The stacked memorial desks could hardly hold any more.
Liu Meier stood by with a lamp on, and saw that sister Dai's sitting posture had never changed.
Ever since he was released from prison, Jiang Guo's affairs have become more and more busy. There have been constant wars in the past few months, and now it is the autumn harvest time, and the government affairs are even more complicated and chaotic.
Liu Meier's eyes fell on Sister Dai's porcelain-like face, her crescent moon-like eyebrows, her straight nose, and her thin, tight lips that were bright red but not gorgeous.
Looking at Liu Meier's throat getting dry and tight like this, distracting thoughts can't help but arise in her heart.
It's been months since we got close.
Oh, sister Dai doesn't want to?

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
"Mei'er, step over the brazier," Chang urged, leaning on a cane.
"Okay." Liu Meier looked at the brazier in a daze, raised her hand and picked up a corner of her robe and stepped over the brazier.
Before taking Liu Meier to greet Chang, water was sprinkled on her face, and she asked in confusion, "What is Aunt Chang doing?"
Aunt Chang dipped some water on the willow branch in her hand and sprinkled it over, saying: "The old lady said that this is also used for exorcising evil spirits, young master."
Hey?
After finally entering the corridor, Liu Mei'er respectfully saluted and said, "Mother is worried."
Chang carefully looked at her child's face and muttered, "It's good that it's fine."
Several people entered the house together, since it was late at night, Chang's old age didn't talk much, Liu Meier watched Chang's leave the hospital, and just went back to the house.
Sister Dai was sitting in the room looking through the paperwork. Liu Meier guessed that maybe it was to pick her up, so she delayed Sister Dai from handling government affairs.
"What is Meier standing there in a daze?" Jiang Changdai turned her head to look at the person who stood stiffly not far away, "It's late at night, you should go take a bath."

But when the long hair was scattered, the appearance of her daughter's family was fully revealed.
"Meier, wake up." Jiang Changdai reached out to hold her face up, worrying that she would sink into the water.
"Hmm..." Liu Meier opened her eyes wearily, and looked blankly at Sister Dai in front of her, only to realize that she had just fallen asleep.
Jiang Changdai saw her eyes staring at her blankly, those eyes like clear springs filled her face with trust, she couldn't help feeling guilty and said: "Meier, I made you suffer."
Liu Meier saw that Sister Dai's back was facing the light, her expression was a little gloomy, and she quickly responded: "How can you blame Sister Dai?"
"Actually, it's not that bad in prison. In addition to sleeping and eating every day, I can't be more idle."
"You..." Seeing that she was still comforting herself like this, Jiang Changdai's heart felt even more sour.

Jiang Changdai met Liu Meier's bright eyes with a slight smile, and responded solemnly: "Maybe it's because Meier reacted too strongly to him, I'm a little bit apprehensive."
Liu Mei'er's cheeks were very red, her eyes flickered as she looked at Sister Dai's serious face, wondering if she had heard wrong just now?
How could Sister Dai be so fond of herself?
But just now she heard it very carefully, Liu Meier turned her head and buried her head in sister Dai's neck, shyly showing her earlobes hidden in her hair, and replied softly: "I thought sister Dai liked Song Yuanshan more."
After all, on the surface, Song Yuanshan is really a talented and gentle gentleman, and it's not that there are no noble girls in the capital city who have admired his talent and knowledge first.
"Could it be that Meier has a taste too?" Jiang Changdai seldom heard Liu Meier's straightforward words, and she was extremely happy. She deliberately poked her earlobe with her fingertips and blew on purpose, "So this is what you said to Song Yuanshan. The reason for being so sensitive."
Jiang Changdai has always thought that Liu Meier is actually passively accepting her preferences, whether it is marriage or intimacy between the two.
Most of the time, Liu Meier just bears obediently but doesn't ask for it from herself, so that Jiang Changdai thinks that her feelings for her are far less deep than her feelings for her.
Maybe she just treats herself like a big sister, but she has changed her mind.
Unexpectedly, she is not completely careless towards herself, but because of her always introverted temperament, she is not good at showing it most of the time.
Liu Meier lifted her head timidly, but her body was still being held, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Sister Dai and replied, "I'm sleepy."
"Then let's sleep like this." Jiang Changdai's mood suddenly brightened a lot, and her thin lips pecked her flushed face lightly, feeling a little moved in her heart.
However, she had just been released from prison, and she was very sleepy even thinking about it, so naturally Jiang Changdai couldn't bear to tire her.
That night Liu Meier slept so soundly that she didn't even notice the thunderstorm in the second half of the night.
In the warm spring of March, the sun was shining brightly, and it was the time when a hundred flowers were in full bloom. With the release of the imperial examination results, many candidates entered the imperial court to serve.
Prince Jiang Hui personally promoted some people to the Imperial Academy and the other six ministries.
For these lists of candidates, Prince Jiang Hui specially handed them over to the Eldest Princess to watch and show respect.
A few rays of strong light fell into the hall in the afternoon, Jiang Changdai looked at the roster of candidates, but did not say anything, but told the employer not to be suspicious.
And as the cases of Wu family's party members were successively tried and rebelled, the two brothers Liu Ming and Liu Yang were also exiled for three thousand miles.
In the middle of March, when Liu An was released from prison to send off his two characters, his wife Zhou cried out in tears: "The eldest princess is so cruel, why did she only save my brother-in-law and not our son?"
Liu An frowned and scolded: "Your good son, I don't know what's wrong. Thousands of people have been beheaded for this kind of crime. It's a gift for them to get out of the capital alive. If you say more , be careful that their heads will be lost!"
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was so frightened that she didn't make a sound, so she hurriedly added some money to the officers and soldiers to take care of her along the way.
With the successive edicts of court orders issued in spring, a new round of taxation systems in various places has also been restructured.
Because of the policy of light corvee and low tax for the people in the farmland, the livelihood of Jiang people has been restored to vitality.
One morning, the court once again discussed the war between the Mo country and the Feng country, and the prince Jiang Hui discussed the matter with the eldest princess.
"Auntie, do you think it's time to send troops to help the Mo country?" Prince Jiang Hui asked with a document in hand.
Jiang Changdai did not expect that the Mo State was so anxious to urge the Jiang State to send troops. She guessed that it might be because the Mo State could not attack the Feng State for a long time, or it might be related to the civil strife among the thirteen tribes in the Mo State.
"The crown prince thinks that sending troops to help Mo country attack Feng country will be beneficial to Jiang country?"
"Mo country is a powerful country, if it really captures Feng country, it will be harmful to Jiang country." Prince Jiang Hui hesitated and said, "But this time the Mo country envoy threatened, if we don't send troops, it may hinder the peaceful exchanges between the two countries. .”
"Since this is the case, the prince might as well find a reason to shirk the war."
After thinking about it, the prince Jiang Hui replied: "There is no turmoil around the Jiang country at present, and the reason for this is not easy to find."
Jiang Changdai looked at the two small countries in the south of the territory map of Jiang State and said, "I heard that the Fu State and the Si State are not peaceful in recent months, did the prince know?"
To rule the world, the monarchs of the five countries have the same mind, so naturally they also want to cultivate the ambition of the prince Jiang Hui.
"A few days ago, the frontier reported that these two countries have been fighting for a long time because of a mountain." Prince Jiang Hui was very intelligent since he was a child, and he was persecuted by the brothers of the Wu family in recent years. .
Naturally, she has always been very cautious about this aunt who holds Jiang Guo's military and political power.
"These two countries also invaded several cities in Jiang State and have not returned them." Jiang Changdai said lightly.
Prince Jiang Hui immediately understood the meaning of the words, but because he was not really in power now, he naturally did not dare to speak out easily.
"Auntie, what do you mean by using disputes with the two countries to evade the Mo country's request to send troops?"
"It's not just because we want to avoid the country of Mo, but more importantly, to recover the lost land." Jiang Changdai was originally worried about the sneak attack from the country of Mo, but now is the perfect time, "If you want to restore the country of Jiang and rule the world, the prince must first Use these two countries to demonstrate to the world."
Mo country was bitten by Feng country, and it happened that the thirteen tribes in it were fighting endlessly, so they had no time to take care of Jiang country.
The prince Jiang Hui looked at his aunt in a daze, even if it was just a light sentence, it shocked people greatly.
This kind of majestic momentum is probably something that even the royal father has never had before.
"Auntie said so."
At the beginning of April, two armies gathered on the border of Jiang State. Yue Wu led the troops to attack Fu State, and Rong Yue led the black armor army to attack Si State.
The two countries were caught off guard by this silent war, and they invaded the capitals of the two countries with such force that the news reached the desert country in June.
The emperor of Mo Kingdom was greatly shocked. Jiang Kingdom was becoming more and more powerful, which was very alarming. Now that the two countries will be destroyed, Jiang Kingdom will expand its territory again.
However, the emperor of the Mo Kingdom was old, and the princes under his knees could not fight, and the army of the Mo Kingdom was still entangled with the Feng Kingdom, and they had long been unable to spare their hands to deal with the Jiang Kingdom.
In August, Jiang's army returned to the court after a great victory. Yue Yue captured the monarch of Fu State alive and was promoted to the Southwest General, while the monarch of Si State led some royal family members to flee overseas.
Prince Jiang Hui was highly respected by Jiang's subjects for regaining the lost land. On the day of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Sunrise Palace, the people of the capital lined up to welcome him.
Jiang Changdai strictly prohibited the indiscriminate killing of the people of the two countries, and then greatly rewarded the three armies, and allowed officers and soldiers to return to their hometowns to visit relatives one by one at the end of the year.
In the crisp autumn season, Jiang Guochaotang has taken on a new look, and even the people in the capital are greatly encouraged.
But at this time Liu Meier was very idle, because she asked for leave to rest in the mansion, and her official position as the minister of the Ministry of Industry also ceased.
During the whole day, he either accompanied Mrs. Chang to go to the temple to pray to the Buddha or to play horseshoes.
But Sister Dai is still very busy every day, Liu Meier often doesn't see anyone for most of the day.
When Liu Meier went out to buy paper and pens in the afternoon, she happened to meet Xie Xi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
She is still serving as a female official in the Hanlin Academy, but she heard that the prince only appointed Confucian scholars who taught since childhood as officials, and did not promote other officials without authorization.
Most of the female officials are in idle positions, and Xie Xi is indignant that her talents are ignored, so she often hangs around in restaurants.
But the Xie family has long since declined, the drinks in restaurants in the capital are not cheap, and the salaries of mere officials are not enough.
This time it was entrusted by the shopkeeper of the study, Xie Xi came to sell favors.
She didn't expect to meet Liu Concubine who had already asked for leave in the mansion.
When Liu Meier saw Xie Xi, she immediately wanted to avoid it, after all, she didn't forget the loss she suffered last time.
"Where is Lord Liu going?" Xie Xi knew that the current court was that the eldest princess was the head and the prince was the assistant.
If these two can be promoted, Xie Xi thinks that there may be hope for promotion.
It's just that those in the prince's party are pedantic Confucian scholars, and they despise female officials.
Helplessly, Xie Xi could only think of the eldest princess, but the quarrel with the eldest princess was too tense before, Xie Xi could only think of borrowing Master Liu to ease the relationship.
After all, Mr. Liu is not a shrewd person at first glance, so he is better to hook up than the eldest princess.
"Thank you, sir, what's the matter?" Liu Meier kept a serious distance.
Xie Xi smiled lightly and said, "I just heard that the eldest princess has been getting close to Song Taifu recently, so I want to kindly inform Mrs. Liu."
Liu Meier didn't believe Xie Xi's words, because since she told sister Dai that night, she had no grudges in her heart.
Now Liu Meier only knows that Xie Xi is probably here to do bad things again.
"This kind of kindness, I don't bother to thank you sir."
After finishing speaking, Liu Meier turned and left the study.
Xie Xi couldn't hold back the smile, gritted his teeth and snorted softly: "What are you, if you were not lucky enough to climb the big tree like the eldest princess, you might not even know how you died."
As for Prince Consort Liu, Xie Xi knew that it was impossible in all likelihood.
But when it comes to being related to the eldest princess, that Song Taifu is a good idea.
After all, everyone in the capital knew that Song Yuanshan had admired the eldest princess for a long time, but besides the eldest princess, besides Liu Concubine, who had stayed by her side for many years, the playboys beside her were like a fleeting moment.
At night, there was non-stop singing and music in various restaurants. Xie Xi saw Song Taifu who was drinking with the officials, and walked up to chat.
"Song Taifu, it seems that you are in a good mood."
Song Yuanshan deliberately got closer to the Confucian scholars next to the prince, so as to provoke the relationship between the Confucian scholars next to the prince and the eldest princess.
As long as there are disputes in the court, the eldest princess will always need herself.
"Master Xie, what's the matter?" Song Yuanshan had heard about the prodigal reputation of the talented woman from the Xie family a long time ago, and the first time he saw Xie Xi, he could see that she was ambitious.
Xie Xi curled up his mouth and sat beside Song Yuanshan and said, "Now the eldest princess and Concubine Liu are still singing in harmony. I think Taifu Song is also very distressed."
Song Yuanshan frowned when he was poked in the center. For so many years, Song Yuanshan had been acting like a modest gentleman in front of the eldest princess, but she never took a look at herself.
How could this not make Song Yuanshan angry?
"But I think there may be a way to help Song Taifu." Xie Xi said vaguely while drinking the wine in his glass, "After all, women understand women's hearts better, don't they?"
"I would like to hear the details." Song Yuanshan turned to look at Xie Xi.
Xie Xi felt confident, raised her hand and poured her drink in response: "What an arrogant and proud daughter of the eldest princess, Song Taifu is too gentlemanly, I am afraid it will be difficult to get into the eyes of such a person."
The reason why Xie Xi said that Song Yuanshan was carrying it was mainly because he knew that this person was a villain who must take revenge in his bones, and that a gentleman was just a skin for him to pretend.
"Then according to Sir Xie, what should we do?"
"Women, sometimes Song Taifu still has to take the initiative to attack, otherwise the princess's cold temper may not have time to pay attention to her children's personal affairs." Xie Xi wrote on the table with some wine on her fingertips, "Although this method is not popular, But it works."
Song Yuanshan looked at the words written in the drink on the table in a daze, and didn't say another word.
Xie Xi triumphantly propped up her body and smiled enchantingly: "A woman of this age, I think she can't help flirting."
As for the man, no matter how noble his words are, as long as he mentions sex, he is not very obscene.
When all the houses in the capital were brightly lit, Liu Meier bathed early in the bedroom of the Princess Mansion and accompanied Sister Dai to handle government affairs.
The stacked memorial desks could hardly hold any more.
Liu Meier stood by with a lamp on, and saw that sister Dai's sitting posture had never changed.
Ever since he was released from prison, Jiang Guo's affairs have become more and more busy. There have been constant wars in the past few months, and now it is the autumn harvest time, and the government affairs are even more complicated and chaotic.
Liu Meier's eyes fell on Sister Dai's porcelain-like face, her crescent moon-like eyebrows, her straight nose, and her thin, tight lips that were bright red but not gorgeous.
Looking at Liu Meier's throat getting dry and tight like this, distracting thoughts can't help but arise in her heart.
It's been months since we got close.
Oh, sister Dai doesn't want to?
