"Mr. Li, when did you come back?" It was a blacksmith who greeted him. At that time, his shop was about to close down or Li Jinxi had provided him with a job. Now he has settled his home in Tongcheng.

"Brother Wang, are you still used to it here?"

"Have it, get used to it. Thanks to the work you introduced, the baby can still study now, and he should kowtow to you, sir."

"Brother Wang, you're being polite. I won't be here for long. Don't disturb your child's study."

Li Jinxi walked all the way, and people kept saying hello to him, and he was able to chat with everyone, which made the guards on the side gasp in amazement.

"What is the origin of this Mr. Li, so popular?"

"You are ignorant, aren't you? This Mr. Li is an aide to the prince, and he specializes in recruiting talented people for our army. Did you see that more than half of the people here came in through Mr. Li, and Mr. Li is very knowledgeable. You can ask him anything. I can answer a few words."

The talking guard was quite proud.

"It's so powerful, what kind of brain is that. It seems that if you read a lot, you are smart, and my son will also read more in the future." Lengtou Qinghan laughed,

"You can push it down. You don't even have a wife and you think of your son. Go ahead and make your spring and autumn dreams." The veteran looked at the recruit with a mocking look. Now his son is also studying in the school, and he does not require his son to be like Mr. Li. Read a lot of books, even if half of him is dreaming, he can wake up with a smile.

Due to time constraints, Li Jinxi did not stay in the frontier for long, and there were still many things to deal with in Jiangnan's industry.Before leaving, the prince gave Li Jinxi the jade pendant, which was left by the queen to the prince, and its significance is self-evident.

Just as the prince was actively preparing, the capital city was also experiencing treacherous conditions.The noble concubine's status rose sharply due to her meritorious service in conceiving a child, and the Zhao family also rose accordingly.The concubines, who had been somewhat competitive before, died down in an instant, huddled in the palace and dared not come out, so that the emperor who wanted to have an affair could not find anyone.That crazy woman Zhao Lan really knows how to kill.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is very powerful now, and it is rumored in the palace that the emperor wants to make her his empress. Will she be detrimental to us?"

"What are you panicking? It's just a shabby household. Do you really think you can become a phoenix with a chicken feather? General Shen is not dead, and the crown prince is still fine. She wants to be a queen. Do you really think that civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are vegetarians?"

Things were indeed as Concubine Shu said, the emperor took advantage of the excitement and proposed to make a noble concubine as the queen, but the result was naturally persuaded by the minister's strength.Seeing that the proposal was rejected, the emperor went on to propose that the noble concubine had meritorious service and would reward her family. They naturally have a way to hang out with related accounts.

Just after discussing political affairs in the previous dynasty, there was an ear report god who revealed the news to the noble concubine, and the words were full of complaints for the empress.

"Your Majesty, these ministers are too ignorant of good and bad. You are the son of a prince, a hero of our great enlightenment. How could they treat you like this!"

"Heh, a bunch of immortals. If it wasn't for the sake of the late emperor, the emperor would have kept them until today. They have been against this palace over and over again, and they really think that this palace has the temper of a mud bodhisattva. Just wait and see, once Sheng My son has been established as the crown prince, and sooner or later, the palace will make them look good."

No matter how beautiful the face is, it will look hideous when it shows a malicious expression. At this time, the imperial concubine made the palace people tremble.

"The emperor is here—" Hearing the shout at the door, the imperial concubine immediately restrained her expression, and looked at the prince with a gentle face.

"My concubine, is our Cheng'er obedient?" The old and son-like emperor hurried to see his son as soon as he came to court.

"Of course you are obedient, Cheng'er looks like the emperor, and has a calm temper.

"The emperor forbade the imperial concubine from bowing down a long time ago, so the imperial concubine never got up to greet her.

"Hahaha, what Aifei said is very true, my emperor's son must be the proud son of heaven." The emperor laughed heartily, although he didn't see where the prince was looking for him, but the imperial concubine said it looked like that.

"By the way, Concubine Ai, I want to make you queen today, but those stubborn old people just don't agree. You don't blame me, do you?"

"Of course not. The emperor is already very kind to his concubines. It's only because his concubines were born in a cold environment. They are not as beautiful as the ladies in the capital. Naturally, the ministers look down on them."

"I don't allow you to talk about yourself like that. Don't worry, I have already arranged for your brother to be in the household department. He is free and unaffected. If others want to spend money, they have to look at the household department's face."

"Really? Your Majesty is very kind, we will rely on you from now on." The imperial concubine couldn't be happier, the Ministry of Household Affairs is a fat job, if you need money in the future, you don't have to worry about it.What's more--the imperial concubine's eyeballs rolled, and the household department was in charge of the world's money, so naturally the military pay was also in charge.Shen family, I want to see what you can do.

The ministers at this time never imagined that the noble concubine's family would be so greedy and put the common people in misery.

Since the beginning of winter, there has been continuous heavy snowfall and many disasters in Daqi. The imperial court urgently allocated 3000 million taels for disaster relief, and the emperor appointed the newly appointed servant of the household department, Zhao Gui, to take charge of the work of escorting the silver taels. long face.For this reason, Zhao Gui and his wife made a special trip to the palace to thank the emperor's brother-in-law for his kindness, and got permission to have a small gathering with his sister.

"I see the imperial concubine, the empress is a thousand years old." Zhao Gui saluted in a dignified manner.

"You all go down, I want to chat with Mr. Zhao about homework."

Seeing that the palace people all retreated, Zhao Gui immediately stood up with a playful smile: "How about my sister, is my brother learning like me? Brother will perform another one for you, long live long live the empress."

The imperial concubine burst out laughing, saying that it was a lie to say that she was unhappy. "Okay, brother, if someone else hears it, it's time to tell me about my fault."

"Whoever dares to bully my sister Zhao Gui, I will deduct his wages." The imperial concubine was amused by him again and laughed.

"Good sister, where is my son? Can you let me meet?" After coaxing his sister, Zhao Gui rubbed his hands to explain why he came. Our whole family is going to die!"

Zhao Gui realized later and covered his mouth in fright, "I'm used to saying this, I won't dare to do it again next time." This is his old man, so he is reluctant to give up.

Seeing her husband's longing, Mrs. Zhao was furious: "It's just raised by a lowly maidservant, and you are so worried about it."

"You mother-in-law, why do you speak so harshly? According to the rules, this child also wants to call you mother."

Seeing that the brothers and sisters-in-law were about to quarrel, the imperial concubine hurriedly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, my brother also took a concubine for me, and now he is going to leave his mother to keep the child, and the child is raised by me, so it won't hinder your eyes. I only recognize you as my own mother, and the riches and honor of the sky are yet to come." If you say that the imperial concubine has feelings for this sister-in-law, the sister-in-law didn't mind that the elder brother had her as a motivator, and treated her like a younger sister. She swore at that time that she would be good to her brother and sister-in-law for the rest of her life, so she broke up these truths and said that she would ignore others.
