I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

Princess Langshang, the number one scholar, although the literati feel ashamed in their hearts, in the eyes of the common people, this is still a lively and joyful event worth talking about.

The wedding was held in May, which happened to be the most suitable weather. As a double relative, Anise naturally stayed by the queen's side, working inside and out for more than a month—many things that were inconvenient for the queen and not worthy of her direct intervention It was all handed over to her.After the marriage was over, and she was busy with several major events such as the man's family meeting and the woman's family returning home, Aniniang rested for three to five days before feeling that her vitality had recovered.

And not long after the marriage ended, Cao Xiang, the grandfather of Princess Huai Cao Zhaoting and Minister of the Household Department, was impeached one after another.He is in charge of the household department and is the big steward of the country's money bag. It is a difficult position to be honest.

Cao Xiang didn't take these few impeachment memorials to heart at first - for a person in his position, it would be strange if there were not one or two impeachment memorials every month.Having been an official for many years, he has long been accustomed to these impeachments, but he is old and has something to rely on. What can those small officials do to him?

Unexpectedly, this time the incident became more and more serious. Within half a month, the news spread throughout the capital, and even Huiniang had heard about it. During dinner this day, she chatted with Wang Yan and said, "Sister-in-law grandpa But the trouble is getting bigger and bigger, today Pinellia went to visit Zisu, and I heard that the vendors on the side of the road are all gossip about the Minister of the Household Department."

Wang Yan's face was half listening, he took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "This matter was made on purpose." He glanced at Hui Niang, and then smiled: "The third brother found such a No matter how troublesome it is, it is only fair to receive some gifts in return."

Hui Niang's expression changed, "You mean, Rong Cheng was able to see my cousin because someone did it on purpose?"

"That was purely accidental." Now that Qin Jiayu has officially become the imperial son-in-law, when Wang Yan mentions this matter again, his attitude is only helpless, "But what happened at the Imperial Academy has the shadow of the third brother behind it."

"I'll just say it! Cousin has such a good character and temperament, he is the least likely to offend anyone. No one is behind his back, so how could he be pushed aside by his colleagues?" Aninara patted the square pillow beside her hand resentfully. He said again: "However, how did you know? Is the person who told you this trustworthy?"

Wang Yan waved his hand, "I only heard about this, and the news came from Mr. Zhao Ge."

"Old Zhao Ge?"

Wang Yan nodded, "This matter can make such a big fuss, I think Mr. Zhao Ge is pushing behind it... He is the chief assistant, and it is impossible to be lucky to get to where he is today. In terms of ability, he is better than third brother and I am much older, even my father may not be able to compare with him in these matters. It was him before, who kept my father unable to make up his mind, and then it was the imperial concubine who went to talk to Rong Cheng Rongcheng was sick for a few days because of the trouble, and the father stopped talking."

"Rong Cheng is sick?" Hui Niang was startled, remembering the past, she murmured again: "No wonder, when you go to the palace in March, Rong Cheng also looks very lethargic when you say that."

"It was around the Chinese New Year." Wang Yan stretched out his hand and pointed vainly, "During that time, there was frequent movement inside and outside the palace, and everyone was busy. The fact that Rong Cheng was ill was not so conspicuous, and many people didn't notice it."

Auntie showed a look of shame on her face, "It's fine for others, I didn't notice it but I shouldn't."

"You have a special relationship with her, but there are many things in the first month, so it's not surprising that you didn't notice it for a while." He smiled a little affectionately, "If I get sick one day and you don't notice, then you should be punished." Woolen cloth."

We have been married for more than a year, and two New Years have passed, the relationship between Hui Niang and Wang Yan has become more and more familiar, and their behavior is more like a husband and wife - unlike the first few months when they were married, the two sides treated each other They are all like guests, with a little alienation and politeness, and they talk like more classmates than husband and wife.

In addition, they have been married for nearly two years, and there has been no good news of pregnancy. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two husbands and wives is also sufficiently distant—if it hadn’t been for the troubles in the palace this year, Wang Yan would have There have been no side concubines, concubines, or Tongfang, and the two of them may be guessed by outsiders as husband and wife.

However, Wang Yan and his brothers seem to have few heirs, and they don't have the habit of randomly marrying side concubines or concubines.Because of this, after the death of the emperor's grandson, the grandchildren of the royal family became even more withered. Only King Yi had the eldest granddaughter of the emperor, who was still far away in the fief. Because she was too young, she was never sent to the capital to be seen by Emperor Longning.

Even so, before the birth of the son and daughter, there was no news of any prince marrying his side concubine, let alone news of his aunt or Tongfang being pregnant.

After Hui Niang was busy with her cousin's wedding, the doctor gave her good news during the few days she was resting, but the time is still young, so Wang Yan made up his mind not to tell anyone for the time being.But with this news, the couple gradually became much closer in their attitudes.

Recently, there have been a lot of affairs in the court, involving mutual criticism among ministers, Emperor Longning didn't want his sons to be involved in it, Wang Yan even spared the occasional work of studying and running errands, and stayed at home with Hui Niang every day, without knowing him Where did this news come from.

"Mr. Zhao Ge thinks so much of his cousin?" It's a pity that Qin Jiahong is destined to be unable to make achievements in politics, and Mr. Zhao Ge's blue eyes can only be paid by mistake.

"Mr. Zhao Ge is very optimistic about Brother Jiayu, and it's a pity that Brother Jiayu can't show his ambition. But..." Wang Yan looked at Huiniang, "When Mr. Zhao Ge was talking to me once, he vaguely revealed something. , he seems to have some relationship with your grandfather, don't you know what's going on here?"

"How would I know." Hui Niang gave Wang Yan a charming look, "It's not like you don't know, I grew up in my hometown village, and I never saw my grandfather, and my mother almost never told me about it. These things... However, it is very likely that even she herself does not know which ministers her grandfather has friendship with."

Wang Yan nodded thoughtfully, "It's possible that it's not because of this, but that he has favor with Brother Jiayu." Then he sighed again, "It's useless to say these things now, Brother Jiayu will just watch the fire from the other side. This fire, no matter what, will not burn on him."

"That's not right, these messy things..." Hui Niang paused, and then she recalled what the queen said that day. There were many things that day. Qin Jiahong had already resigned to her fate and was willing to marry the princess, but she completely forgot what the queen said, and never said it to Wang Yan.

Now that I think about it, this is not just good advice.

"The empress is worthy of being the mother of the country, and what she said is insightful. When I entered the palace earlier, the empress told me that if a person wants to do things, he may not only be an official. It all depends on how determined he is. Whether he wants to do this One thing. Cousin may not like intrigue in his heart, he wants to do things for the common people, and his current status may be more suitable for him."

"It's not easy!" Wang Yan said noncommittally: "How many officials like to intrigue? Except for those who are particularly greedy for power and money, most of them, especially civil servants, were familiar with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius when they were young. But in the officialdom, there are too many temptations, and this person gradually changes, but he may not be willing to do things for the people anymore. There are always one or another reason that hinders, which is also a helpless thing. Brother Jiayu If you become a son-in-law, there will only be more people staring at him, especially those civil servants, so it is good to take the blame easily, how can it be easier to do things than being an official?"

"Cousin is doing good deeds for the common people. It's not murder and arson. Who else can be picked on? Hmph, even if someone sues, it must be those jealous cousins ​​who can become son-in-law. Those people If so, there is no need to care at all.”

It was hard to tell a clear right from wrong on this topic, now that Hui Niang has a body, she is even more lazy to argue with Wang Yan, Wang Yan also let her, smiled slightly, and put this topic over.

Hui Niang is holding a new book of Chinese in the capital. This is a new hobby she has developed recently. This book was recently bought from a bookseller when Ban Xia went out in the afternoon. It is about the number one scholar marrying a princess After reading two pages of the story, she put down the book again, but remembered another matter to discuss with Wang Yan.

"Panxia went to visit Zisu today, and said that Zisu has been pregnant for more than three months, and she seems to be in good spirits. I thought, if she is healthy by then, it is better to let her be the child's nanny. Let her take care of the child, and I feel relieved."

"Just look at it." Wang Yan was not so enthusiastic about these family matters, and they didn't have any other elders in the house, so they left it to Aniniang to handle the decision.

What he's thinking about now is more about those few important things: Although Anise's words just now were a bit capricious, but combined with what the queen said she relayed, Qin Jiahong may not really become a useless person in the future.It's not because he's out of his mind that he can't be an official. As long as he has an idea, he may not have to do it himself...

So dazed, when Animian discussed other family matters with him, his response was obviously perfunctory. "Why are you thinking about such a background?" Hui Niang complained dissatisfiedly. Seeing Wang Yanren's face wandering, she raised her arm and patted it lightly, "I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring him?"

"I was thinking about it for a while." Wang Yan came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "What did you just say?"

Although Hui Niang was helpless, she didn't want to lose her temper because of such a thing, so she had to repeat what she said just now, "I mean, in a few days, Shanniang will return to her hometown—her wedding day is getting closer, The dowry still needs to be sorted out at home. Although it is not convenient for me to go out recently, I have to give it to Shan Niang when she returns to her hometown. There are still many things to give to her. I'm not worried either."

"Of course we have to go." With Huiniang and Qin Jiahong's double face, Wang Yan treated Shanniang very politely, and asked Huiniang: "When is Shanniang leaving? I will go there with you and meet Jiahuang by the way." Brother, there is something I want to discuss with him..."
