Chapter 59 Princess Wan'an
In the carriage, the female official lowered her eyes and lowered her head. Even if Zhao Xin's eyes fell on her, she was still respectful and did not say much, and she stirred the incense for the princess.
His Majesty and the Queen have not told the princess about the candidate for the princess, and even if the princess is confused, she dare not disclose it.
From this point of view, she is undoubtedly a qualified female official.
What's more, the female official also thought about it. Telling the princess would only make the princess worry and be sad for those who are ignorant and bold.
Zhao Xin didn't make things difficult for her, and smiled faintly, "After returning to the palace, you have to go to the emperor's sister-in-law."
"Yes, princess." The female official's heart tightened, and many noble people sometimes don't like people around him to watch.
After Zhao Xin glanced at her, the corners of her lips curled slightly, "You must tell the emperor's sister-in-law word by word, it is necessary to have a slightest bit of it."
The female official moved her heart, pursed her lips and smiled with a reserved smile, "Yes, princess."
On the way back to the house, Mrs. Zhou was persuaded by Yang Siwei, so as not to implicate her cousin, so as not to mention the incident of meeting a princess in the Silver House today. When Mrs. Zhou saw her niece, she was worried about Mingjia and would rather suffer grievances. She felt even more determined. Even if the princess married into the Zhou family, she would never let Weier be bullied.
But he didn't know that the queen in the palace knew it clearly, and was even furious about it.
She and the prince-consort candidate Zhou Mingjia, who is optimistic about by His Majesty, have a mother like Zhou Yang. She disrespects the princess and dares to blame the princess. She also has another daughter-in-law in her heart. How could she let Xin'er marry into such a family to suffer?
The female official knelt down, lowered her eyebrows and looked down and did not dare to look up. Even though she knew that the queen was not angry, she did not dare to say the wrong thing, which made the queen's bad intention.
Thinking that His Majesty had not yet given the court, the queen calmed down her anger a little and asked, "How about the princess?"
The female official thought about it and replied, "The princess is not unhappy."
The queen sighed slightly. Xin'er did a great job, and did not lose the royal face, nor did she let the incident go.
But it was her who was wronged.
It is said that children who can cry and make trouble have candy, but those who are polite and sensible are also heartbreaking. "When your Majesty is in court, you will send someone to say that there is something wrong with you in the palace to discuss with Your Majesty."
Mr. Zhou has been thinking about how to consider the reasons in the past two days, so as not to damage the princess' reputation and live up to His Majesty's kindness, and rejected this matter.
It would be best not to let Your Majesty leave a bad impression of Ming Jia. After all, Ming Jia will be over next spring. Master Zhou knew very well that the ranking of the palace examination, especially the third-tier, has always been determined by the emperor's wishes.
Otherwise, there is no difference between the fourth and last ones.
After Zhao Jin went to court, he heard General Chen reply and the queen was surprised to find him if she had something to do. The queen was virtuous and never interfered in political affairs, and rarely asked people to come to Xuanzheng Hall in the imperial study.
Thinking that something might be important, Zhao Jin also spared the imperial meal in the study and went to the empress's harem.
***
When Mr. Zhou went to court, he clearly felt that Emperor Zhao Jin was cold towards him. Although he was a living person and had a neutral attitude on weekdays, Zhao Jin would ask him for his opinion on the major issues because he was the late emperor.
Today, whether he was arguing endlessly or proposing his own proposals, Zhao Jin did not look at him. There were many old foxes in the court, so there were no signs that Mr. Zhou was obviously neglected.
Master Zhou Ge reached out to beat the robe in his clothes while the person was not paying attention. Because he had been standing for a long time, his waist was a little sore and weak. He didn't feel too tired on weekdays. Today, he stood there and did nothing to do, but instead felt tired.
Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that he has not answered the marriage for a long time? Master Zhou thought,
At this time, officials of the Ministry of Personnel reported to the emperor that the evaluation of officials in various places this year, according to the past practice, those who have been evaluated in three years can be promoted to one level or transferred to official positions.
The best one is to transfer back to the capital and serve as a Beijing official.
"Zhou Mingli, the governor of Ningzhou, was a clean and upright official. After three years of rule, he was well-off and harmonious, and was deeply loved by the people." A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Zhou's mouth inadvertently.
"I remember Ningzhou is close to Feishui. There have been floods there in recent years, so it is inconvenient for officials to transfer them. Let him stay there for one more year."
Zhao Jin made a decision with a light sentence.
The Feishui River is three hundred miles away from Ningzhou. Even if there is flood, how can it affect Ningzhou? Even if you know it is an excuse, no one dares to refute it.
Master Zhou's face was slightly pale, but he looked up but saw Zhao Jin's extremely cold gaze looking at him, knowing that something really happened.
Even if he is lenient and peaceful on weekdays, no one can stop him when the emperor is angry.
Thinking that even the queen was rarely dissatisfied with him, Zhao Jin's impression of the Zhou family dropped to freezing point. However, it was unforgiving that the world criticized Luohe, and Zhao Jin was not willing to order the punishment of Zhou Yang at this time, so that the mother would pay the debts and the sons would pay the crimes of the brothers.
After going down the court, Master Zhou, who was smiling like before, waved his hand to refuse his friends who were officials in the same court, and went straight to the carriage and returned to Zhou's mansion.
Zhao Xin didn't expect that she would solve it before she could do something.
She said to 9526, "It seems I'm lucky."
Zhao Xin put down the black piece and ended the chess game, "Well, there is progress."
From the beginning of losing thirteen eyes to only half an eye now, the little prince Zhao Lan rarely showed a sincere smile, "Aunt Luoshui, next time, I will definitely beat you."
Zhao Lan, who has always been strictly required by his father and the Master of the Study Room, has been studying hard, and even if he is serious about playing chess.
Zhao Xin, who just let the water go, smiled, touched his head, and sighed in his heart, "It's impossible."
9526 looked speechlessly at the host who bullied the child.
Zhao Xin continued to smile and said, "The prince's birthday is coming soon. Tell me, what gift do you want?"
The little prince Zhao Lan said seriously, "I like it all the bestowed by my elders."
When Zhao Xin was having fun playing with the prince's nephew, the Zhou family was about to come. Master Zhou was able to stand firm for nearly twenty years. With his methods, he could thoroughly investigate and know the real reason for His Majesty's attitude.
If the eldest grandson or eldest son's errand did not do the job well, Mr. Zhou would admit it, but he did not expect that it was two ignorant women who were wronged.
At first, Mrs. Zhou was still vague and said that she offended Princess Luohe. However, when Mr. Zhou used the means in the court to question him, Mrs. Zhou was so scared that she said everything.
After hearing this, Master Zhou almost didn't turn black, but he still stabilized, although his face turned pale even if he was still angry.
The fact that Your Majesty wanted to take Zhou Mingjia as his son-in-law was only revealed, but did not promote it. Many nobles in the capital did not even know about this. His eldest daughter-in-law actually dared to offend the princess with her niece and was arrogant in front of the princess.
The princess did not get angry and punished her on the spot because she did not want it to be a royal coercion and took away the husband. That would hurt her reputation. The face of the royal family, and Princess Luohe was obviously not a stupid person.
"Mrs. Ignorance, who do you think you are harming is your two biological sons."
Mr. Zhou had no intention of continuing to be angry and taught his eldest daughter-in-law a lesson. He was obviously dignified and wise when he first got married. Why did decades pass and live more and more? It was really unreasonable. My poor Mingli and Mingjia had a mother like this, and Mr. Zhou sighed at this.
Mrs. Zhou knelt on the ground and shivered. The first time she saw her father-in-law get angry, she was also frightened. Her husband looked at her majestic and angry gaze. Yang didn't know how she became like this.
She has been in the Zhou Mansion for more than 20 years, and her parents-in-law have treated her well. She has never said a harsh word. Even if she brought her niece who had lost her parents to the mansion to raise her, no one said anything. However, she also gave birth to two precious grandsons for the Zhou Mansion. Her Mingli and Mingjia are the most outstanding descendants of the Zhou family, and there is only envy of the second and third rooms.
Mrs. Zhou has always been proud, and she just said a few words to Princess Luohe, but was scolded like this, and she couldn't help feeling wronged. As expected, only Weier would be her good daughter-in-law.
"As you wish, the marriage is ruined, but if I hear a word about this, the eldest daughter-in-law. You can go home by yourself." The cold and cold voice of Mr. Zhou Ge rang.
It was impossible for him to punish Yang severely for this matter, or to give up Yang to the family temple to calm down His Majesty Princess. After all, Yang is the mother of his two grandsons and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. The Zhou family even had to bear His Majesty's anger for her.
Seeing that Yang did not know the seriousness of the matter, he was begging her niece to Mingjia. Old Master Zhou did not dare to find other marriages for Mingjia. Yang even dared to offend the royal princess. If he had changed his daughter from another family, wouldn't he have to be beaten by her?
That is not marriage, but marriage.
Mr. Zhou believed that he was not right. If he hadn't been careless, he would have paid little attention to Houzhai. He would not have expected that the woman from Houzhai could be so bold and reckless.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately forgot to be afraid of grievances, but instead became happy. Putting Weier and Mingjia together was the thing she was most satisfied with. For this reason, even if her father-in-law was disliked, her husband would face her coldly, and Yang didn't take it seriously.
But Mrs. Zhou imposed a punishment, jailed her eldest daughter-in-law for one month, and the housekeeper's power was temporarily handed over to the second daughter-in-law Wu's management.
After hearing this, Yang's face turned pale. She gave birth to the eldest son and grandson for the Zhou family. Looking at Wu's happy expression, Yang felt aching in his heart.
On this side, Wu took the butler Quan and returned to her yard happily, and said to her husband Zhou Mian, "Do you think your sister-in-law is stupid?"
The second house also lives in Zhou's mansion, and is close to the big house. He had heard some rumors before, not to mention that when Mr. Zhou came back, he thoroughly investigated it. The noise was quite disturbing, and Wu didn't know what was going on.
She said that her sister-in-law had too many good days and had a bad mind. She would have just preferred her niece, but she could even stand in front of the princess.
Mrs. Yang also gained a deeper understanding of how much Yang Siwei, his niece, paid for her daily life, which would be better than the serious lady of the Zhou family, but now she can still make her have such a good marriage for her.
Wu and Zhou Mian said this, and Zhou Mian glanced at her without refuting.
He also knew who his wife was, and he was so smart that he said something directly in front of him. He was really not mean. He was respectful to his sister-in-law and mother on weekdays and did his duty. So he did not restrain his wife and let her say it in the room, but he couldn't spread it outside anyway.
What's more, what's said is not wrong.
Wu said happily, thought for a while, and then smiled, "I thought the good things in this world would be taken up by the big house."
Her husband is obviously better than her elder brother Zhou Yan, but she has to work hard by herself. She has been an official in other places for many years before she returns. The eldest son is easy in the capital. She blames her only son for not being able to dominate. Her father-in-law attaches importance to her eldest son, and the eldest son has given birth to two such outstanding grandsons, which is loved by Mr. Zhou.
Even when His Majesty selected the princess for Princess Luohe, he thought of Zhou Mingjia, why is it so enviable?
After thinking about it, Wu thought that it would be better if the marriage was gone.
"If my sister-in-law had a princess and daughter-in-law, her eyelids would probably be as high as the sky, and she wouldn't even take her mother-in-law seriously."
