A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Song Hongshen thought that she was here to take credit. After all, it had only been half a month, and she had almost cleared out the Eastern Palace.

But after Su Zhilan sat down in the study, she handed Song Hongshen a piece of paper.

"This is Wanwan's wedding gift, and we, as her brother and sister-in-law, want to give her some dowry. Your Highness, take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it."

Song Hongshen looked at Su Zhilan in a daze and said teasingly, "You really handle official business conscientiously."

Su Zhilan raised her eyebrows, "Of course, my brother said that if I were a man, I could be the Minister of Works."

At this point, Su Zhilan said, "I handled my duties well. Does His Highness have any reward for me?"

Song Hongshen was stunned, "What do you want?"

Su Zhilan smiled slyly, "I want to go to the Military Equipment Bureau to see how they make firearms."

Song Hongshen suddenly realized that this was Su Zhilan.

How could she be willing to deal with the trivial matters in the inner house?

Song Hongshen put down the pen in his hand, leaned back, and looked at Su Zhilan with a smile in his eyes.

"Did you come up with this idea today?"

Su Zhilan shook her head and said, "I wanted to see it before I entered the palace."

Song Hongshen asked again: "Why did you say it today?"

Su Zhilan said embarrassedly: "I have to do my part before making any requests."

Song Hongshen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there is no need to do this. You can let the people below take care of these trivial matters in the East Palace."

"If you like firearms, I'll take you to the Military Equipment Bureau. If you like shipbuilding and carbuilding, I'll take you to the Ministry of Industry."

Su Zhilan was stunned for a moment, "But I am the Crown Princess, and my mother said that it is my responsibility to manage the Eastern Palace."

Song Hongshen looked at her lovingly, stood up, walked to her side, and rubbed her head with his hand.

"No, just do whatever you want."

After that, he took her cloak, helped her put it on, and said, "Let's go."

Su Zhilan was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"Arms Supervisor, don't you want to see how they make firearms?"

Without waiting for Su Zhilan to react, he took her out.

After that day, Su Zhilan spent most of her time in the study looking at firearms blueprints, sometimes writing and drawing, and sometimes making some gunpowder in the backyard.

The trivial matters of the Eastern Palace were indeed handed over to the eunuch in charge and the new palace maid in charge.

They couldn't make the decision, so they went to ask Su Zhilan.

Later, Song Hongshen ordered that all these matters should be asked to him and not to disturb the Crown Princess.

After the New Year, Su Zhilan got the opportunity to leave the palace twice.

One was on the 18th day of the first lunar month, when Song Wanwan got married. Another was on the 6th day of the third lunar month, when Su Shunci got married.

At the end of March, the Su family welcomed another happy event.

Su Yuanyi performed extremely well in the palace examination and was chosen as the third place by the emperor.

When the news reached the Eastern Palace, Su Zhilan was so excited that the entire Eastern Palace rewarded her with three months' salary.

But when she was happy, several other concubines in the Eastern Palace could no longer sit still.

The Crown Princess's brother was the third place in the imperial examination, which also consolidated the Crown Princess's position.

Another thing is that the Crown Princess will have her coming-of-age ceremony in May.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not even glanced at them yet, and by the time the Crown Princess consummates her marriage, they will have lost the opportunity.

That day, the emperor listened to several Taoist priests preaching in the Taiqing Palace built within the palace.

In Guanju Palace, Aunt Wan, who was beside Jiang Ziyan, quickly walked into the main hall and took out a letter from her arms.

"My lady, this was sent in by the Marquis's Mansion."

Jiang Ziyan took a look at the words on the envelope and knew that it was written by her father, Marquis Jingyuan.

She could guess what was inside without even opening it.

After a long while, Jiang Ziyan opened the letter and read it quickly.

Aunt Wan looked at her expression and asked carefully, "My Lord, are you still talking about that matter?"

Jiang Ziyan threw the letter aside and said unhappily, "I don't know what my father is thinking. Is it my decision whether Jiang Shuyun can be favored or not?"

"Can I still take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hostage and favor her?"

In fact, she knew what her father meant. If Jiang Shuyun could win the favor of the prince, it would be a double guarantee for the Jiang family.

If Jiang Shuyun could ascend to the throne, the Jiang family would have nothing to fear and would be able to maintain prosperity for three generations.

Now the Jiang family only follows my father's lead, and my father naturally considers the entire Jiang family.

But what her father didn't know was that she had already exhausted all means to get to where she is today, so how could she have the energy to care about Jiang Shuyun's affairs?

Moreover, she didn't want to offend the prince, and she wanted to leave a way out for her and her son.

The prince is a man of deep thoughts and ruthless methods, and she really doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

Aunt Wan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you shouldn't make things too awkward with the Marquis's Mansion. After all, it is your natal family and also the maternal family of our Eighth Prince."

"In my opinion, Your Majesty should teach Miss Shuyun some tricks. Whether it will succeed or not depends entirely on her."

"Even if something unexpected happened, would she dare to blame it on the queen? The Jiang family will not agree to it."

Jiang Ziyan lowered her head and thought about what Aunt Wan said, and felt that there was some truth in it.

Before she could figure out what to do, a palace maid came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang is here."

"come in."

Not long after, Jiang Shuyun came in and bowed to Jiang Ziyan and said, "Greetings to Seventh Aunt."

Jiang Ziyan smiled and said, "No need to be polite when we are family, please stand up and sit down."

After Jiang Shuyun sat down, she said, "Today, my niece received a letter from home, saying that Seventh Aunt can help my niece gain the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Seventh Aunt, do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Ziyan secretly blamed her father in her heart, forcing her to make profits for the Jiang family.

But now that things have come to this, she has no choice.

Jiang Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "There is only one way right now, which is to use external forces to let you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have sex first."

Jiang Shuyun was a little hesitant, "But His Highness... doesn't seem to be interested in women. He didn't consummate his marriage with the Crown Princess, and he doesn't have any other concubines around him."

"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to get in touch with His Highness and let him see my good qualities."

Jiang Ziyan shook her head and said, "Then how long do we have to wait?"

"Don't worry about whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested in women or not. Just find a way to make him have a taste of it, and then everything else will be easy."

"This cat, after eating the fish, can't bear it anymore."

"When the time comes, you will be by his side every day. Are you still afraid that he won't love you? When you are making love, if you ask him who the Crown Princess is, I guarantee he won't be able to answer."

In Jiang Ziyan's view, they are all men and there is no difference.

Jiang Shuyun blushed and couldn't help asking, "Then how can I share a room with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He lives alone now, why don't I go over there tonight?"

Jiang Ziyan glanced at him and asked, "Do you think the guards around him are all vegetarians?"

"We need to plan this matter carefully."
