The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 348 Singing Opera (2)

　"He even told you this?" Qi Feng was stunned again, and then smiled bitterly: "Forget it, you are the young lady of Jinying's mansion after all, so there is nothing wrong with telling you. I will ask my third sister-in-law to take care of you in the future. This time, Please teach me more."

Jiang Ruan nodded lightly, a gleam of coldness flashed across his eyes.

……

in the palace.

In the imperial garden, the empress was having tea and chatting with several beauties. The Yingying Yanyans in the courtyard were all graceful and graceful, but the empress in the main seat could not conceal her old age even in a beautiful dress. state.

The prince is becoming more and more unfavorable now. Although the emperor did not give the order to abolish the prince, the prince's participation in the court affairs is not as good as that of the eighth and fifth princes. This is enough to make those who are still watching change their minds.In the past, there were still some neutral people, but now they secretly turn to the [-] faction.As for the crown prince, there are not many left. At least everyone in the court knows that the crown prince of the future Dajin Dynasty may not be the crown prince in the end.Now it's up to the Eighth Prince or the Fifth Prince which is more capable.

The people sitting next to the queen were Wang Lian'er and Jiang Dan.Wang Lian'er was dressed in a palace gown with pink silk gauze waist, which set off her already fair skin like goat's milk.She has a beautiful appearance, but there is a kind of gentleness and elegance engraved in the bone marrow in her gestures, and there is a touch of book breath.The young lady from the Hanlin family is a veritable talented woman, and now the emperor's Xie Yujiaohua is quite favored.

Jiang Dan was wearing a green dress. In terms of appearance, she was not as good as Wang Lian'er, and she was not as gentle and generous as Wang Lian'er, but she had a fresh and lively feeling. Compared with people like Wang Lian'er, Jiang Dan is quite comfortable in the palace now , even the queen can hardly feel disgusted with her.She has a kind of innocence in her actions, and she is good to the servants in the palace, and she will not do things that actively compete for favor.So compared to Wang Lian'er, everyone in the palace loves her.Now she also often follows the emperor, occasionally saying something to make the emperor laugh, the emperor also values ​​it very much.

Mu Xirou didn't come today, she has always been arrogant and indifferent, and never bothered to associate with concubines.Concubine Xian is even more so. Since the defeat of Concubine Chen Gui and Concubine Shu, she has spent all day in the palace in a state of asceticism.It was precisely because the battle between the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince became more intense that she had to retreat bravely and not be arrogant.

The rest are some new beauties with lower grades, some of these beauties are lively and beautiful, but the most favored among the new beauties are only three.A faint look of tiredness appeared on the queen's face, and she said, "The weather is getting colder and colder."

It is indeed getting colder and colder. At the beginning of winter, the limelight became stronger every day. Wang Lian'er smiled and said: "That's right, but it's still warm in the capital. I heard that the Tianjin Kingdom has started to rain Snowflakes the size of a piece of paper. It should be extremely cold.”

The queen glanced at Wang Lian'er, Wang Lian'er's words revealed that the emperor should love her very much, otherwise how could he even tell Wang Lian'er about the border crossing.She immediately turned cold, and said: "It is true, the soldiers are out in the bitter cold, it is really hard work."

"What the empress said," Jiang Dan smiled: "The Dajin Dynasty depends on these soldiers to guard the country. Your Majesty's blessings will last forever. Tianjin will definitely win a battle. When the soldiers return to the dynasty, It must be beautiful. But every time I think of the hard work of the soldiers, the concubine is arrogant and extravagant, and I feel very ashamed. The concubine is willing to donate some silver and jewelry, exchange some food, grass and supplies, and transport them to the border together. One heart."

Hearing Jiang Dan's words, the queen was a little surprised, and then looked at her with admiration.As the mother of a country, no matter what thoughts the queen has about the court, she always hopes that the Dajin Dynasty will continue to prosper.Naturally, I also hope that the battle against the Jin Kingdom in the same sky can be fought beautifully.But everyone knows that this is not an easy task. Now that food and grass are scarce, Jiang Dan volunteered to donate some supplies, which is really not easy.Jiang Dan, as a beauty in the palace, naturally couldn't donate much, but once the news got out, the beauties in the palace followed suit, and the important officials of the court followed suit.What's more, Jiang Dan instinctively mentioned this matter in front of the emperor, but she brought it up in front of the queen, which showed that she had no intention of competing for favor, and this made the queen more at ease.So the Queen's expression towards Jiang Dan softened even more: "It's rare that you have the heart, I will mention this matter to Your Majesty." Naturally, these words were meant to flatter Jiang Dan.

Jiang Dan laughed: "Thank you, ma'am, I can't do anything, I can only do my best."

The beauties around turned to Jiang Dan with jealousy or envy, Wang Lian'er's complexion changed slightly, and after a while, she returned to normal, and smiled as if nothing had happened.

After the empress ordered everyone to disperse, Jiang Dan returned to his courtyard, and the maid Wan'er beside him delivered a letter, and whispered: "Miss, a letter has been delivered."

Jiang Dan went back to the room and asked the maids to go down before opening the letter. When he saw the content of the letter, he was startled for a moment, and then he read it all at once. After putting down the letter, he thought for a while, and then suddenly laughed slowly.

...

The supply troops set off about three days later, and because Jiang Dan offered to donate supplies, the beauties in the palace donated their jewelry not to be outdone.Even the female family members in the palace are so aware of the general situation, as a courtier, it is natural that they cannot be exempt from the vulgarity, and the court has more or less paid a sum of money, and the sum of the money is not a small sum.Now the war consumes a lot of silver in the treasury, and a lot of food and grass, so it has postponed the urgent need for food and grass supplies to be scarce.The emperor's heart was very happy, and he loved Jiang Dan more and more.

Zhang Ji is busy raising food and planning routes every day. This time, the war with the Jin Kingdom should not be underestimated, and everything must be foolproof.When it was time to set off on the third day, there was a news out of nowhere in the palace that Zhang Ji, the leader of the supply troop, had abused his power and withheld all the general's salary, which was less than half.

The inexplicable news came out, but it shocked everyone in the court.If the deduction of military pay is confirmed, ten heads are not enough for Zhang Ji to cut off.But this matter is not trivial, the emperor immediately ordered to send people to stop Zhang Ji, and quickly recruited Zhang Ji to return to Beijing.

At that time, Zhang Jizheng had just left the city with the supply troops and the food and salaries. Unexpectedly, he was captured by the imperial guards sent by the emperor on the way.

In a short time, the emperor summoned his courtiers to pursue their views on the matter.Ye Li straightened his collar, his expression was as leisurely as ever, and he could even be called a spring breeze.

Jiang Chao stood on the side with his head down, and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, everything has been sorted out, and enough news has been released to attract people. Once this matter comes out, it will not only make His Majesty trust His Highness more, but also suppress five people." His Highness over there."
