concubines

Although yesterday was a celebration wine, today is the highlight of commending military merits and increasing officials and ranks. Both Li Chen and Zhao Wei have handed over the detailed testimonials to the imperial court. This big victory is Dakang's biggest victory in many years. Although some people feel dissatisfied, the emperor means that rewards are big, and punishments are only small punishments. Li Chen also handed over a letter from Changping Princess Li Yao, and the emperor read it. After being silent for a long time, according to what Li Yao said, one hundred craftsmen were given to build a palace for Prince Berg, antique calligraphy and paintings, jade treasures were given, and another ten doctors were sent to give lectures to the Qiang nobles.

The emperor also accepted Wang'er, a loyal servant girl beside Li Yao, as a righteous daughter, and bestowed the title Zhuang Jingjunzhu.In addition, there were many rewards in the army. Zhao Wei was named the second-rank Fuguo General to guard the northwest, and his generals and deputy generals were rewarded.

Li Chen is already the prince, and there is nothing to reward. In the future, he will continue to return to the Ministry of Households to perform the supervisory duties. He also has the right to discuss matters in the Ministry of War. Princess - the second daughter Yan is Princess Shunjia, and the third daughter is Princess Roujia.

However, there are rumors that the emperor seems to be dissatisfied with Princess Chun, and intends to give another concubine to King Chun. The eldest daughter of Li Chen was given to King Chun - the regulations are all set by the royal family. Although Prince Li Chen's mansion is indeed full, no one said there is anything wrong with it, not to mention how many civil and military officials are eager to get along with King Chun who is in the limelight. If there is a relationship, even if there is no official status, even if it is a concubine or a concubine, it can't be said that the fortune will be great in the future.After the queen mother opened the palace door, she frequently called the noble ladies into the palace to talk, and some people thought about bringing their daughters and granddaughters to visit the queen mother.

Qi Yunruo, who didn't know anything about it, was sitting on the chair blankly, looking at the person in front of him with a stiff expression.

The official from the Ministry of Officials laughed and said: "The lower officials have received a letter from His Royal Highness Chun Wang a month earlier, and the documents, official uniforms, and official seals have all been prepared early. You might as well try it now, if it doesn't fit, you can ask the subordinate yamen of the Ministry of Rites to change it."

Su Ge knew about this a long time ago, without any surprise on his face, he bent down to Qi Yunruo and said, "Sir, do you want to try?"

"Oh... okay." Qi Yunruo stood up, went to the inner room, and was served by two maidservants in front of the full-length mirror. He put on a red shirt, lower skirt covering his knees, white socks and black boots, and a leather belt around his waist. And Peishou, if Qi Yun hadn't put on a crown, he wouldn't have worn a beam crown.

The maid Luxuan clapped her hands and said, "My lord is really energetic in this dress."

Qi Yunruo's mind slowly started to turn, and he said in a daze, "Really?"

Lvxuan smiled and said: "It's really energetic, it looks very official, my lord, in the future, you will be in charge of the economy of the palace, and you will be able to communicate with the officials for the prince. We will bother you to take care of it."

Su Ge has always been the head of the palace, so he is naturally transparent about the affairs of the officialdom. He wrapped a big red seal for the officials of the official department, and prepared a box of silver nudes and said: "Thank you for your hard work, my lord. I think there are many officials in the official department." My lord has been busy preparing for a lot of time, please take these back home, and invite a few fellow members to have a drink."

"Don't dare, dare, the prince's meaning, the lower officials and others dare not follow..."

Su Ge sent people out with a smile, and when he came back, he saw Qi Yunruo with a troubled face and said, "Eunuch Su Ge..."

Su Ge said: "Prince Chun's mansion has been built for seven years, and the lord has not found a suitable candidate for this position. Mr. Qi, although the chief historian of the palace is not a high-ranking official, he is the most important person in the mansion besides the lord. When you are not around, you can also temporarily take over the power, young master, think about it, how could the prince entrust others with such an important position so easily."

The worry in Qi Yunruo's heart eased a bit, he pursed his lips and said: "Although I don't know what to do, but I will do a good job for the prince."

Su Ge asked him to sit down, poor Qi Yunruo didn't dare to sit in his official uniform, his face was flushed and he stretched the corner of his clothes, Su Ge said gently: "The so-called long history is also in charge. Expand Tingzhou, remove the prince's bedroom and other living rooms, and then build a study room and a director's office. The general ledger of the palace will be handed over to you, especially the personnel of the outer courtyard, guards with official positions, and nursing homes without official positions. You have to be in charge of affairs, servants without rank, their respective responsibilities, rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments. To the outside world, you have to stand up for the prince, communicate with officials, socialize, and hand over officials from various ministries. When the master rushes to make clothes and accessories, if the prince wants to change the construction of the palace, he must contact the Ministry of Industry and Industry. You have to arrange how much money Zhuangzi and the shop have in a year, which ones to keep and which ones to use."

Qi Yunruo nodded, but his eyes were flustered, he asked: "My lord, my lord asked me to be this official, but if I make a mistake, will someone..."

Su Ge said: "My lord, don't underestimate yourself. The chiefs of the royal residences have always been the people you can trust. You are careful and decisive, and you have seen a big scene in the northwest. Being an official cannot be done overnight. Take your time." , if there is anything you don’t understand, the prince will support and teach you, and the slaves are also clear about some simple things, and the slaves know everything.”

Qi Yunruo let out a sigh of relief.

Watching the expansion of He Tingzhou, Lu Lan and Yu Zhi brought Qi Yunruo's luggage to Molianyuan. Lu Lan and Lu Xuan put on a crown for Qi Yunruo. Quite a bit, Qi Yunruo just combed his hair and went out, Su Ge said: "The prince has returned to the residence."

Qi Yunruo blushed inexplicably, and ran towards the inner room.

Li Chen went in and took off his python robe, changed into casual clothes, saw Qi Yunruo inside, but didn't say anything, after a while, Qi Yunruo stepped out, Li Chen looked up and down a few times, and said with a smile, "Lord Qi."

"My lord!"

Li Chen said: "Come closer, let me take a look."

Qi Yunruo took a few steps forward, Li Chen nodded and asked, "What if you see me outside?"

Qi Yunruo was stunned for a moment, Li Chen said: "If you want to play a report, you should suspend your head, or stop your head. Although you are a sixth rank, you represent the face of my Chun Palace. You don't have to salute to ordinary officials. Only the princes and princes' houses bow and bow their hands. Show respect."

Qi Yunruo raised the mansion, knelt down, lowered his head with his hands at his eyebrows, raised his upper body after a while and looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Excuse me."

If Qi Yun stood up, Li Chen waved and said, "Xiao Qi, come here."

Li Chen straightened Qi Yunruo's belt, his gaze was gentle, Qi Yunruo looked at him, his somewhat messy heart slowly calmed down, Li Chen smiled and said, "You did a good job."

Qi Yunruo had also learned etiquette in Ziyangbo's mansion before, so he couldn't keep seeing people. Nanny Kong stood aside with a fierce face holding a ruler, teaching him over and over again.

Li Chen waved his hand, told others to go down, pulled Xiao Qi to sit beside him, and watched him while drinking tea.

Qi Yunruo felt a little uneasy again, and asked, "My lord, I'm still a little worried, if I do something wrong..."

"There is Suge to help you inside, and there is me outside."

If Qi Yun didn't speak, Li Chen said: "I've been thinking about this for a long time, Xiao Qi, you shouldn't just waste time in the small world of the small courtyard in the mansion, I want to give you another identity, and I lack one that I can trust. , someone who has the confidence to stand in my place."

Qi Yunruo's ups and downs of heart finally returned to the original place, he smiled, "My lord, I know what you mean, I am actually very happy, I have been doing something for you, but I haven't read many books after all, I'm afraid you'll lose face if you go out to socialize."

Li Chen's tone was somewhat arrogant, "I am a person who goes out of Prince Chun's residence, it is an honor to give face to others."

Li Chen asked Qi Yunruo to stand up again, seeing how he was wearing official uniform, Qi Yunruo obediently turned around, Li Chen said softly: "One day, this egret will be replaced by a white pheasant."

The head of the prince's mansion, Shi, is a fifth-rank official, and Qi Yunruo also had a great ambition in his heart, saying: "If one day, you give me a crane suit, I can wear it too."

Li Chen laughed loudly, "It turns out that Xiao Qi's conspiracy is not small."

Although the emperor meant that the punishment should not be too severe, but for Si De who dared to collude with foreign enemies and murder the prince, there is no chance of survival.

His subordinates and others were also taken into custody one by one. Dong Cheng was the one who personally brought the spies from the Xinyuan Kingdom to the camp, and the charges would not be light. If Qi Yun heard what Li Chen said, his heart skipped a beat.

He frowned, feeling a little sad in his heart, but Yu Gong, Brother Ah Cheng knew that they were spies from the enemy country, and knew that they would be detrimental to the prince, so he sat down according to Si De's order. Yu privately, the prince is his most important person... But Ah Brother Cheng, Sister Yuanyuan and their past are also precious memories that cannot be erased.

Li Chen said lightly: "In the future, if Dong Cheng's crimes are not as good as his family's, it will be the greatest reward for him."

"I understand...my lord, the people behind Si De have not been interrogated yet?"

Li Chen shook his head, but Si De gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. The court did not convict him for the time being, because Li Chen had no evidence for the time being.

"My lord, if I need to testify..."

Li Chen shook his head, "No need for now."

"My lord! My lord..."

When there was a knock on the door, Qi Yunruo stood up and looked at Li Chen.

"what happened?"

Su Ge said: "Wangfei came to greet you."

Qi Yunruo's face froze, and Su Ge added: "The concubine brought the little princess here." Although the imperial court has not yet formally conferred, but the decree has been passed down, and the second and third misses of the Chun Palace are already princesses.

Li Chen said: "Wangfei please come in."
