After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 56: All the good birds are hidden in the bow
The eldest princess's procession arrived at the gate of the palace, and Qin Yaoguang got out of the car holding Nanny Deng's hand.
A servant who was waiting at the Anguo Mansion came forward and greeted them. After greeting them, she whispered, "The Duke's wife greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." After that, she presented an exquisite and gorgeous gold-embossed invitation.
Qin Yaoguang took a glance and signaled to Nanny Deng to accept it.
With the Emperor's everlasting favor from Concubine Jing, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion was becoming the leader among the noble families, and their family banquets became the weather vane for the powerful and wealthy families.
This invitation is Qin Yaoguang's stepping stone to return to the social circle in Beijing.
After entering the palace, Qin Yaoguang headed straight for Xining Palace in the incessant rain.
"It's raining so hard, why are you in such a hurry?"
The Empress Dowager glared at her and quickly asked her attendants to bring up a hot towel to wipe the water droplets off her hair and skirt.
"You're already so old, but you still lose your temper when you hear about your husband?" The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed softly, "You haven't made any progress in all these years."
"Who said that?"
Qin Yaoguang tidied himself up, sat down in front of her, and said, "Mother, you have wronged me. The great victory of Beirong is a happy event, and I am here to congratulate you and the emperor!"
The Empress Dowager clearly didn't believe a word of it and said, "The Emperor is discussing matters with his ministers in the front hall. If you want to see him, I will ask someone to invite the Emperor to have lunch in the Xining Palace."
She still just thought that Qin Yaoguang came to inquire about Yan Changqing's news, but she was still willing to indulge her.
Qin Yaoguang knew it, but the past impression could not be changed overnight, so it was enough for her to achieve her goal.
The palace is lonely, and there are many things to kill time in Xining Palace.
The Empress Dowager had someone bring out a deck of cards, and asked Nanny Deng and the maid to gather the people, so that they could sit in front of the warm kang, listen to the rain, drink tea, and play cards slowly.
"Mother is in such a good mood!"
Before noon, Empress Xie appeared in Xining Palace before the Emperor and paid her respects to the Empress Dowager.
Qin Yaoguang greeted her and Nanny Deng stood up and made room for her.
Empress Xie took the cards from her hand and looked at them. She laughed and said, "Such good cards. This is a great blessing for me."
"That's not necessarily true," Qin Yaoguang said with a smile, "My mother has won a lot today. She has won all the gold leaves I brought into the palace, and she still owes a lot!"
The Queen Mother laughed so happily that even the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out.
No matter who you are, winning money is always a very happy thing.
Even though these three are the three most noble women in the Dajing Dynasty, they are no exception.
Oh no, the only exception is Qin Yaoguang who came from the book, not the original owner.
Qin Yaoguang quickly learned the game of Da Jing Dynasty's leaf cards based on her memory. It was very similar to the mahjong she played in modern times. It was a game that was popularized by the women in the palace when they were bored.
The nobles used it to kill time, and the palace maids and eunuchs used it to gamble, and everyone knew how to do it.
However, when it comes to playing "business mahjong", who can be more proficient than Qin Yaoguang?
Back then, she relied on this ability to win the sales championship for three consecutive years, which successfully attracted the attention of senior management and gave her the opportunity to continue to climb up.
When Empress Xie was not there, in order to please the Empress Dowager, Qin Yaoguang controlled the winning and losing ratio to "small wins and big losses" to make the Empress Dowager feel happy.
As for Queen Xie, there was no need for her to be polite to her.
Before Empress Xie became the Empress, she was Princess Leyang. At that time, the unmarried girls of the Xie family had to greet her politely when they saw her.
Qin Yaoguang was counting the cards in her mind, and took advantage of the situation to lose a big bet, making both Empress Xie and the Empress Dowager happy.
After that, Queen Xie kept losing to her.
Seeing the corners of the mother's mouth stiffen, Qin Yaoguang still had no intention of stopping. She took a sip of tea and joked, "Today, my mother had the best luck. Fortunately, I beat the queen, otherwise my skirt would have been pressed against the Xining Palace."
"Princess, you are joking. How could the Queen Mother bear to let you pay off your debt?" Queen Xie maintained her composure.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
When the eunuch's message was heard at the gate of Xining Palace, several women put down the leaf cards in their hands and stood up.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and the emperor is no exception.
The good news of the great victory over Beirong made him look even more handsome and elegant, which made Empress Xie stunned for a moment before she lowered her eyes to greet him.
The emperor ordered Empress Xie and Qin Yaoguang to stand up, strode to the Empress Dowager, helped her sit on the chair in the middle, and then smiled and said to Qin Yaoguang: "My sister, your husband is really good! I was wondering why he sent a family general back to the capital for no reason, saying that he would enter the capital soon. It turns out that he won a victory!"
"The emperor is wise and has great achievements in both civil and military affairs. This is a blessing for Dajing."
Qin Yaoguang attributed the credit to the emperor, walked to the center of the hall, bowed, and said, "I congratulate the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."
Upon seeing this, Empress Xie followed behind Qin Yaoguang to congratulate her.
The emperor became more and more happy.
When discussing matters in the front hall, all the loyal and experienced ministers were present, and he had to maintain the emperor's airs and listen to their battle reports, analysis of the general situation in the world, and other matters after the Yuezhi Kingdom surrendered.
The Grand Tutor had the final say on all important state affairs, so it was inevitable that he would feel bored sitting there. His original joy gradually faded away.
He didn't expect to receive such praise from the harem, and he regained his confidence.
The emperor got down from his seat and personally helped Qin Yaoguang up, and then helped Empress Xie up as well.
"Imperial sister, what you are saying is that the prince consort won the battle, what does it have to do with me?"
It was clearly written on his face: "Praise me now, keep praising me, don't stop praising me, tell me what's so great about me."
Qin Yaoguang glanced at Queen Xie. Only she, who was full of admiration for the emperor, could not see the emperor's obvious expression.
As the saying goes, a single leaf can block your view.
"Your Majesty, please do not be modest," Qin Yaoguang said, "The consort is the consort of the royal family, and he is also the general who is personally appointed by the emperor to protect the country. It is because the emperor knows how to appoint people and the whole country is united that we can have today's victory news."
The emperor was so flattered by these words that he smiled broadly, "My sister is right."
It's obviously his credit!
The emperor was so overwhelmed by her praise that he felt that the imperial sister in front of him was more and more pleasing to the eye. She was not like before, when she would make him angry after just a few words.
After thinking for a while, the emperor said, "Don't worry, my sister. When the prince consort comes back, I will definitely let him stay in the capital to accompany you."
He spoke without hesitation. Except for Qin Yaoguang, the Empress Dowager and Empress Xie all had their own thoughts after hearing this.
If they didn't know the emperor's character, they would have thought that he was taking the opportunity to threaten the princess and wanted the prince consort to stop while he was ahead and take away Yan Changqing's military power!
Isn't the so-called imperial art to put away the bows when the birds are gone?
However, Queen Xie thought a few more steps in her mind.
Although the emperor did not have that intention, if her father wanted to go further, it might be a good opportunity.
